Seriously, there are mail order brides all over the web from Asia, Russia, etc, but not ONE site for mail order husbands. I'm all for a sexy little Chinese husband but noooo, no sites for them. It's sexist I tell ya!

Jokes aside, why is that? Why do men from impoverished countries not advertise for wealthy wives like the women do for husbands?

I'm not really serious about wanting a mail order husband. I just saw a movie called Mail Order Bride and out of curiosity, went to Googling for mail order husband and realized such a thing does not seem to exist.

It is highly sexist indeed! Unfortunately, in many cultures. women are still viewed as chattels and properties of their fathers (if unmarried) and of their husbands (if married) and thus the concept of mail order brides. Believe it or not, this practice existed in the US during frontier days, when western prospectors and ranchers would order their brides though the mail from the East or Midwest.

The ideas of selling themselves to wealthy women would be taboos in those cultures that consider a man inherently superior to a woman. Even in our own, such a concept still exists for the most part however cleverly concealed and only expressed in a politically correct manner.

Few women would consider a mail order husband, especially one of inferior economic and social status. Desperate women, usually aged and no longer attractive , sometimes do seek out these men but usually locally. These guys are called gigolos, I believe.

If you want a cute Asian husband, you don't have to buy one. I'm sure you can find one via the many dating websites . Asian American men are deemed better educated and have higher incomes than the population at large, are more faithful to their wives and more devoted to their families.

actually i've seen it in israel but but they were just being rude saying wealthy american i'll be your husband. You can find one for free, a passport and plane ticket and he's all yours, chinese love the american ladies too. It's not advertised and catalouged because there is no (or little) demand for such a thing. Even desperate women (mostly) want love and the "right guy", not just a plaything. there really just very little chance someone will buy them.
