dead_dangler: And this would be different if he married a western woman, how?

Well for one thing communication would have been possible. She spoke no english, he spoke no russian. The truth is the same today long after thier divorce.

The crowning acheivment of his life of bad choices.

fortean chicken: I actually know a guy who got a mail-order Czech bride. I still can't believe people do this. How can anyone think this is a good idea?

You sound forsaken.

Haha

/looking at you, AWs

One advantage is they come in a big box that your kids can play in.

Mongo cut wood: One advantage is they come in a big box that your kids can play in.

I'd play in her box.

/Got nothing.

dead_dangler: I know a guy who's married to a mail order bride. He said they're everything he was lead to believe and more. The only thing they lack? An undeserved sense of entitlement.

I knew a guy once that married a mail order filipino or some such. He did his research and found it was actually pretty cheap, and you get to talk to different chicks over the internet to pick which one. It was after a miserable divorce and fell for the myth/reality that foreign chicks would be much less entitled. He's been happy ever since although I've heard stories where the broad bails after a few months or a year and takes half your shiat in court.

It's hit or miss probably. Just like marrying an American chick. Anyone that says different probably has an agenda to push.

missmez: I did recently move to a neighborhood with tons of Russian immigrants. Now that its hot and everyone leaves their windows open, come evening the arguments are frequent and intense.

That's just the foreplay before the wild make-up sex later on. It's how they get aroused. You need to learn the rules of the game.

dead_dangler:
And in spite of your obvious hatred of "Western men", they're not all looking for a "full-time personal prostitute" and more than "Western women" are self-entitled harpies looking for "a full-time bank machine".

You moose sucker, I AM a "western man". I wasn't speaking in generalities there.

The real question is who the hell would marry a mail-order without a pre-nup?

atlas spanked: Russian mail order can't be any worse than the all-too-often spoiled, whiny, entitled, chip-on-the-shoulder American chick.

That's exactly what I, and a bunch of my friends, thought when we married our Russian brides. Turns out we were right.
The secret is to marry & divorce an American girl first. That way, you can appreciate how great Russian women really are.

/going on 9 years now
//smartest thing I ever did

I know the ads keep targeting me, anyway.

Bonanza Jellybean: She is a Chechnyan prostitute, and you will address her as such.

I know 4 guys with mail order brides. One was from Albania, one from Slovakia, one from Thailand with a second wife from China and one from Russia. The guy with the Russian wife is a corporate mucky muck with a Harvard MBA who is actually gay so she's more of a paid beard. The 2 wives from Thailand and China were from families involved in organized crime, heroin and counterfeit goods, but they were smart enough to keep their noses clean so they got citizenships and split up after 5 and 4 years respectively and paid him well enough so he got a house out of the deal. The Albanian and Slovakian screwed up their 2 husbands lives something terrible and it cost both of them $100,000 to get out from under. One of the guys moved to China not to avoid prosecution but to get away from the hassles he was stuck with.

My sister knew an Aussie in Vegas who did this, married a gay guy in Vegas, had a cover job and hooked nights and weekends. She didn't get busted, like 99% of the hookers in Vegas, paid off her gay hubby and bought a house in the low market in the early 90s and overall did quite well. The only thing she slipped on was she had a much better car than she could have reasonably had but the IRS never got her.

It's an ongoing criminal conspiracy and that's the way it has to be run. Anybody that thinks they're going to deal with the Russian mob and get literally farked instead of figuratively farked is insane.

BigLuca: Picture fail AND filter pwnage... I lose.



The missing image made it work, that is, you get nothing.

I wish that no one would have to be this desperate, but you got to admit they have guts. Can you imaging leaving your family, your friends, your country to marry a stranger for the chance to have a better life? Going somewhere where you don't know anyone, don't know the laws or customs, maybe don't even know the language that well?

It's an awful risk, and what this article says about how things are in Russia isn't pleasant.

Well... Russian girls can always get jobs for some of the sites that pay for Foobies links... At least they have options...

/would take in a Russian chick that needs a place to stay...
//as long as she looks like Peaches...

You know how people keep putting themselves in sh*tty situations and then wondering why bad things keep happening? If you have discounted an entire country, the women you go after/attract suck and so do you. I mean, if you keep overlooking an average/cute girl for the hot whore who keeps putting you in the 'friend' category, that is all you.

On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with wanting a spouse from another country as long as the conditions are right. I recently saw a documentary where it was basically like online dating and the girls spent months getting to know someone. I just find it somewhat suspicious because what ideals are you chasing that you think only another country can offer?

Forget this. $30,000 for someone who'll eventually leave your ass? I don't care if she's Megan Fox's clone.

Cheaper just to pick up a hot chick that just hit 35 and is starting to get desperate. Prenup and the deal is done. Don't have to be handsome to be a hero!
