Especially regarding younger women from poor nations who post themselves online to escape their homeland.

1st you have to understand their position. I am in no way defending or degrading them.
Russian women for example.
They have little to pick from in Russia as far as men go. The Men to woman ratio is like 10 women for every man. The men who are there consist of mostly alcoholics who will die at an early age due to drinking and other health issues. Most of them dont earn a wage that allows them to support a family and the one's who are left are already married. At a 10 to one ratio and very poor pickings they are left without options to marry a decent russian guy. A Russian woman has very little chance of making a decent living by herself. With this in mind they look outside of their country for a better life.
It is a form of Gold digging but not like what happens here in the states.
The problem is that many are just looking for a way out and they take advantage of the guys who respond and even the one's who are really looking for a husband are getting married barley knowing the guy this doenst make for good marriages.
Then you have the problem of the older guy looking for a young girl who he can control becuase she will be in the country under his sponsorship and they end up living like a slave.
So there are good and bad from each side. I have been to Russia many times and seen how things work there. Where we look at it as gold digging they look at it as survival something they have learned to do from a very early age.
I think overall it is a bad thing.

Yes this is a flag ! You should do every thing possible to keep his interest. Tell him of your qualifications for marriage, your life skills if any. Tell him what you have to offer for marriage. Advise former boyfriend when meeting them to check their UPC Uniform Product Code label - merchandise ordered is correct per-order and is - "as advertised" - unfortunately product liability does not apply. Ordering on line and taking delivery in another country is difficult, for best results shop in person for quality control. Mail order bride return policy, foriegn bride ordinarily, non-conforming goods must be returned to the merchant intact within 30 days.

They're a great solution for insecure males who cannot or do not want to find a real wife the "normal" way (dating).
Besides, some of these women don't plan to stick around with their hubby once they get their citizenship three years down the road.
As the old saying goes, you can't buy love...

I'll do what I can to help out. Do I have to pay extra for a mute one?
I'm kidding. Actually, I think this is a great idea. Two people meeting over the internet, each with a need to fulfill. It's not a Disney movie, by any stretch, but as long as all parties are happy, that's what matters.

I worry that these young women have no idea how perverse and abusive some of the characters are who are ordering them. If they think it's bad where they're at, they might find out that the grass isn't always greener where they're going.

It could work....but the odds would be heavily weighted against it.
I once had a penpal in Russia. She wanted badly to come to the U.S. and marry me, to escape her bleak existence. But I was honest with her and told her I could not afford to give her a life of ease. She got the message and bid adieu. I felt sad...at the loss...because I really enjoyed knowing her.
Men have to be careful about marriage...especially middle aged guys like myself who should be planning for retirement, not planning to have another family.

I feel sorry that they have to bid themselves off just to escape their countries. I just hope they end up with a good man who won't exploit their vulnerability in not knowing the language or her rights wherever she ends up.

Quite simply, these women are selling themselves into legalized prostitution. The men they marry are frequently quite a bit older, troubled, abusive, and alcoholic. They often end up in a foreign country alone, and divorced. I think its a crying shame!

I know a guy that got one from Russia. She got her, got legal, dumped him. The idiot guy is still trolling for another one from there.
Let's face it: It's a twisted relationship from BOTH sides.
