While people have been sending messages back and forth to arrange marriages sight-unseen throughout history, the slightly more modern concept of mail-order brides is generally considered to have originated during the days of the American Frontier- a region that, for a time, was decidedly lacking in members of the female persuasion. At the same time, the east coast of the U.S. had something of a surplus of single ladies, especially following the Civil War.

One of my great-grandmothers was a mail order bride. My great grandfather in Montana arranged for her to come from the east coast. She arrived in town on a train in mid-day. When they met at the station, he said "if you don't like me I'll pay for your ticket home." She said, "I came all the way out here, we might as well get married." They went to the courthouse and got married, and he went back to work in the afternoon. They stayed together for the rest of his life.
Thats epic. Shows just how different things were before mass media entertainment notions of romance spoiled the marriage game. Back in the day, people understood that marriage was more of a financial arrangement than a perpetual honeymoon for lovers. The woman got someone to support her and give her children after she got too old to stay in her parents house, and the man got children to continue his family name (which was important to people of that time) as well as someone to care for the family and home while he was away earning a living. As long as they didnt completely hate each other, or there was no abuse involved, it was a perfectly normal arrangement.
Kyle Olson well he was very fucking lucky
Those are real fucking people.
@@fakiirification just an FYI the notion of marriage being for love is not new. It's really old actually, but if you're in the frontier you got more important things to worry about.
I know damn William Shakespeare and all these artists controlling the mass media and ruining marriage with romance.
Where's my discount code for a mail bride?

even bigger discount for a male bride!

My uncle got a "mail order" bride from Vietnam. She disappeared two weeks after getting here. :D The company got him a second one....she was a wonderful lady and stayed with him until he died. But we never stopped making jokes about "I need a replacement! I kept my receipt!"
Sad yet not, sounds like ge dodged a bullet with that first one.
I hope the first wife is Ok and did in fact just run off 🥺.
I hate to laugh Charles but that's really funny.... Carpe Viva
This comment this is dark but actually made me laugh hysterically. Yeah hopefully she Truely alrite but she has some explaining to do 😂 omg 💀😭
@@TruckingTendencies True, but no foul play. My uncle was a half-blind drunk idiot, but she really did run away on her own. He was in the Air Force and in Germany in 68/69, but was obsessed with all things Vietnam. Tried to convince people he was a Vietnam Vet even though Germany was the closest he ever got. The lady just took off after less than 2 weeks. Guess she was using the program as a cheap way to get herself to the US.
But #2 was awesome & she stayed with him until he died. She's still in contact with my parents.
My grandfather came to the US in 1911 from Italy. About 5 years later he sent a letter to the mayor of his town asking if any single girl would like to come to America. The mayor asked around and sent him 3 names. He recognized my grandmother's name and told the mayor to "ship her over" .My grandmother came to NY with her uncle and for 6 months they courted. After they were married, had 9 children and were married for 65 years until my Grandfather died.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing this
did they love each other tho?
Thank you for sharing
@@CreatingShane No, it's normal to stay together for 65 years and have 9 kids without loving the other person.
@@bitcoinfandom To be fair, in 1911 divorces were *extremely* hard for women to propose and successfully implement.
Hot women in my neighborhoods want to meet me! Internet says so and Internet never lies! :D
I see those at the most inconvenient time. While I'm busied and focused on another matter
I live in a tiny town and it's claiming so and so is nearby, waiting to meet me. It's 3 am, I wander out in the yard. Nope, no lights on. I was shattered, I was SURE they wouldn't lie. However, as soon as this Nigerian prince sends me my money, I'm gonna go the mail order bride route. I'm saving up stamps, now.

They're desperate to meet me too, and I'm a fem!

When I was younger, I've always thought that wives would be physically mailed in a cardboard box.

I met a wonderful lady (originally from the Philippines) while I was in Thailand, where she taught elementary school. We courted for a couple years, and got married there. A couple years later, I brought her home to America. I am amazed at the number of people here that ask me "Is she a mail order bride?"
I usually reply, "Hell no! I got her on sale at Wal-Mart!"
At a bargain price !!
@@paulkerr782
Totell the truth, she'd be a bargain ay any price. :)
But the only folks I had to pay money to was the US Government.
That’s one more thing I’m going have to deal with my Queen. So I may have to borrow that if you don’t mind or change it to Target since I hate Walmart as most who know me can attest (used to work there for 10 plus years).
My great uncle's wife was a mail order bride, but they sent letters in the 50s after he saw her ad in a Miami newspaper.

So what you're really saying is we've always had Tinder...it was just a lot slower back in the day.
That's a good way to see it. Lol
Also, OG Tinder could actually be used for kindling when you were finished with it.
tinder has become a hook up site what any man including myself will not use for anyone that looks for a long time relationship or marriage. i mill never consider a american woman to marry for many many many reasons. if divorce laws change to become just and equal then maybe but i will not hold my breath on that one because i know i will become blue and die.
@@henrybourdon6712 There are ways to protect yourself from divorce laws if you are willing to get the right contracts 'n shit. America loves paper work so if your willing to give them what they want you can typically make laws work out in your favor
@@kingofpotato9 Lol. The judges toss that shit out the window dude. Can only marry foreign
My Grandmother put an ad in the paper meeting my Grandpa. "Looking for someone to farm the land and provide for a family". Literally, all the add said! They where married for 56 years before he died and had a family of 6.
Ah to think of the utopia we’d live in if we could all be so honest!
Hey! She was a well off lady if she had her own farm and land. A good catch back then!
@@darlenefraser3022 Not really, she was poor as dirt. It was a family farm she inherited. if you didn't grow any food you would starved to death. The only way the family got it was because they where Share Croppers. As the other families moved away they would sell for what little they had until her family was the last ones there. It was only like 46 acres.
The word ad is short for advertisement. You will note only one letter d within that word.
@@AndrewJohnson-oy8oj Seriously? You’re going to be THAT person?
My grandmother grew up in a small village with a very strict father. No way she would have found a husband at a dance. So she placed an ad in a newspaper and my grandfather responded. He then moved to her village to live there with her. Does that make him a mail order husband? 😁
MEISSOUN Not really if he didn't really pay for anything more than travels.. Usually anyone would become mail order when there is an agency between. I'd call that just a dating ad :D
Fuck u
rkan2 Well, most of the older cases in the video weren't necessarily run by an agency either, so it definitely would still be mail order ;)
Yes
So what was your great grandfather's reaction to his daughter's future husband and your future grandfather?
Wow...trolling was quite brutal back in the day. I'm just imagining a poor lonely bachelor with flowers in hand, showing up to a place only to be doused in hot oil and pelted with rotten eggs by a group of cross-dressing bastards with nothing better to do with their lives. Pretty sad.
Pretty funny. If I lived back then I'd do the exact same thing!
They're pos catfishing assholes for sure. But my captions cut off at "...Invited a prospective husband - and doused him in sulfur...". And all I could think was _F--, please not sulfuric acid..._ A stench bomb, after that, was just sweet funny relief. Depends if you imagine him as a lovestruck suitor, or unsavory wife buyer. I couldnt find the NYT article.
its just funny get a sense of humour
That takes balls. Could turn out to be retired gunslingers.
I'd probably do it too then find the guy and make it up to him somehow, we all know how hard it is to find love but its better to get pelted with eggs than to get extorted for money, kidnapped or killed.
soo catfishing was a thing even back in old timely days... XD
Yeah alot of things that exist today just not as fast in communication or technology.. trolling been around for hundreds of years before the the internet
Yes.... male order brides
@@iterumconare4258 imagine opening the box and a big ole dong pops out
@@tuxievous420 Actually men were the first to wear wigs (that made them look like woman) and dressed and high heels, not sure about the dress but high heels were made for easy access to horses, men were also the first to use make up, in other words in medieval times men were more like woman than woman, and traps probably existed on a consistent scale.

You know you have problems when a matching service sends your money back, full refund, not having found a match.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-.....

@@bogusmogus9551 You only get a refund IF they cannot find any potential match. Being one in a million can be a bad thing. I don't think that company is in business anymore. You don't get that service these days. "We've never before had to refund a client's money." Talk about an insult.

@@sammoore9689 Mom jokes went out of style in grammar school. If referring to the ones that live in the basement, that's another problem. They get horrible matches, but they do get matches.
A guy I go to church with, has a mail order bride from the Philippines. They've been married for almost 20 years. And seem to be fully devoted to each other, and love. Not really my thing, but if it makes them happy. That's truly all that matters
asian women are generally loyal as long as they dont get a job making more than the man. if that happens, they get a divorce just like american women, and try to trade up to a more wealthy man, which usually works out for them since asian women keep their youthful looks well into their 40s
If a woman divorces you because she makes more money than you, you're in a bad relationship to begin with.
@@seigeengine it's east Asian culture. Very heavily orientated around getting a successful husband
This route is definitely a big risk.
@@Quethonable
Filipinos aren't racially East Asian. Their languages are related to Hawaiian, Samoan, and other Polynesian languages. I also think that it's not just culture, I think all human women are willing to trade up if possible.
im so mad at the losers that douced the poor guy in sulfur.
I laughed, I'd do the same thing if I was with em.
They are long dead, what are you mad at?
Just Sulfur not sulfuric acid lol, still mean as fuck but sulfur just has a horrible dead odour.
I know, that's pretty sick.
@Siyovaxsh En-sipad-zid-ana It can touch a nerve for some people. They see it as bullying or assault or something along those lines.
I have been married to my wife from Japan for 14 years. We met on the internet (not through a dating site nor a bride order service site). After spending 4 months chatting, I decided to travel to Japan to meet her in person. When I returned to the U.S.A., I applied for the A1 Visa. Now we have two beautiful daughters and are looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. And yes, we love each other very much.
Aqkura that sounds kinda similar to how I met my Japanese lady friend through a language exchange app. She was wanting to become an English teacher-she is now achieved her dream and become headmaster of a school and is looking to form her own independent school-and I study Japanese. But our personalities are too different, so we never dated. But we still talk and give each other language tips :)
@@xxXthekevXxx Very glad to hear that Kevin! At the beginning it was difficult for my wife to adjust living here, but she has learned to adapt (even though she still criticize many peoples behavior here, especially from the retail business sector.

Way back then those agencies were probably good but now its just a big business , with 99% being scam sites , stay away from them , they will take you for everything you have , i know from experience although they did not get everything as i realised soon after traveling to an ex soviet country and experiencing it first hand

@Shadenfreude41 Umm, how exactly? Also you misspelled schadenfreude.
@Shadenfreude41 Umm, but he didn't buy her. They were connected through the note in the box, not through her being the town bicycle.
Poorly spelled as it is, the first letter is easily better-written and more sincere than most online guff.
You realize that spelling changes over time and not even 50 years ago words were spelled differently than today.
+Timothy Rodowicz That's not what that was.
Uh, that was the 19th century: the spelling rules changed little from then to now. 'right" was supposed to be spelled "right" back then, not "rite": I read technical manuals form back then, when researching the history of firearms, as well as Paleontology. And I can refer you to Samuel Johnson's dictionary, completed in 1756.
And anyway, as I implied very clearly: it's irrelevant. What matters is what he conveyed. And that's the point: it's not your education that makes you who you are. It's your character. And that guy was a very frank fellow.
Online dating requires guff. You're sending your message out to women who are being swamped with thousands of guff messages so the only way to get your messages seen by anyone is to cast as wide a net as possible and that means short, spammed guff.
Pretty sure they were being charged by the letter in those ads. Newspaper ads used to do that.
A friend of mine ordered a wife. When he told me what he had done I said "You can't just order a wife!" He replied "You are wrong. I can and did" I WAS wrong, he could AND he did. He was former military and very firm that he wanted a 1950's style wife. (marriage number 3) He was convinced that overseas women respected and obeyed their men more than American women.
The morale of this story is if you want a 1950's style American wife - don't go to Russia.
Useless Cause guessing the wife he ordered didn’t pan out?

I imagine this happening with that French accent SpongeBob "Two weeks later.."
two weeks? Back then it was MONTHS between letters and that's just in north america. You sending something over seas and it is even longer.
I JUST watched a movie where a guy got a job in some "end of the line" town and since it took 3 months for him to get the letter and get there, they'd already filled the position by the time he arrived.
yeah...they used to actually complete thoughts and compose conversations back then...so it was more like "my dearest " (5 pages later) "...it is my hope that within a years time the great distance between us will become as physically small as reading your letters have made it seem. Until I have you in my arms, yours always Abraham "

I am from Chile, living in Germany with my German husband. We met while studying abroad in Scotland, so not a mail order bride here. Since I moved to Germany I've been hearing lots of horror stories of guys that bring brides from Latin-America, Asia or Africa just to keep them locked in their house and abuse them at will. And whenever I mention I'm not feeling great or I have some problem, many people automatically ask if my husband is being good to me, like they always assume the worst about him. But all of the German/foreign couples I've met so far are stable, normal couples. One of them met through one of those latina brides websites. I guess it's the bad apples that get the most publicity, but not the majority. That doesn't mean the horror stories I've heard aren't real, so girls please make sure you know someone before moving to another country to be with them, and make sure you always have a way out should anything happen.
My cousin who died of cancer 4 years ago met his wife on a website based on finding foreign women. She was Chinese and they eventually met in person in China. They got married within a month of meeting. She moved to the US. They were happily married for 5 years before my cousin died. She was there for him throughout the entire fight for cancer and was deeply hurt and mourned my cousin. She's still apart of the family and we treat her like anybody else.
Poor thing. I hope she finds another husband. When she's through morning.
or a happy single life together with the family.
Poor thing but I'm proud of her and got my respect that she truly loved him instead of staying there for awhile and rhen divorce him she did a good job and sorry for her
My uncle got a mail order bride from Russia When i was a little girl. When my parents were talking about the upcoming wedding my child brain was blown that you could "buy" a partner. Lol come to find out he only paid for her plain ticket and moving expenses. Theyre still married and have an adult child and a teenage child. Her parents come visit every couple years. They're very happy and i think ots interesting
The problem today is all the scams.....while there are a few companies who truly want to create a happy couple, the vast majority are only out to fleece the guy for every penny before he wizened up. I've seen many exposes on these companies and they have a team of writers, buy photos, and post numerous fake profiles. Luring men in with promises of a hot euro wife.
The only real way to do it is to simply travel to the Ukraine etc and meet the old fashioned way. Only there, the fact that you're north american, makes you infinitely more attractive. I have heard that Poland is the same way. Literally 10 attractive women for each man and the men are arrogant buffoons. The real problem is even an average man is looked over by even those desperate to leave or relocate.
@@muskokamike127 They don’t hate men over there, that’s the difference. Men were not repopulated from the wars, so there are more women than men. The women still want to get married but because there is no obesity epidemic, the average polish/ukrainian girl is attractive so there are a ton of choices for the men and too much competition for the women. The women are so much nicer there it will make your head spin.
@@HagakureJunkie I've heard that from guys who have travelled there. (that they're nicer).
I think it might be the fact that N/A women are so spoiled and self absorbed that we think if a woman isn't mean, she's "nice" lol

Me also 31 years this month.
Filipina women are well know for respecting, appreciating andloving their US husbands. Plus they're hard workers.

Very late but same with my aunt too, she's a filipina maid order bride and her husband ordered her from Korea, luckily he wasn't abusive or anything like that, he's actually a great guy (I lived with them for a month). From what she said, it was a lineup of women and basically the agency is gonna take pictures of them and the men gets to pick who they want. She found success in Korea but found out she had stage 3 breast cancer a few years ago now, she went back to the Philippines with her kids to live there for good (she wants to rest peacefully there.)
I have known personally a 'mail order bride' who came to america, raised her young daughter and is in a happy, loving marriage to this day. He has even taken them back to their native country and fully experienced their culture and they continue to visit and now their daughter is grown and at university. Very inspiring story! It can happen!!
A mail order bride was the heroine of the Newberry Award winning children’s book series “Sarah, Plain and Tall” by Patricia MacLachlan.
Haven't read the books, but really enjoyed the tv series.
The award-winning movie and the book are great :)
A guy I know, that had more money than brains, ended up sending $1000's to a woman in Eastern Europe to come here and marry him. She took him to the cleaners.
That's a whole lot of dry cleaning!
He should have tried dating a woman that already owned her own laundry mat.
Those Eastern European women are basically con artists.
@Ray Rictor actually it's just fraud hate. She was preying on his desperation.
She called a romance scammer they are very common in Eastern Europe and United States

Take another look at my profile. My first video was uploaded in like 2008. If I am 9 years old, then I guess I uploaded that before I was born lol. I created my channel when I was 13. I did post something a week ago, but it was a reupload of something that I thought I had lost for years. For the most part, I haven't regularly updated it in a long time. My channel looks like something that was made by a kid because I was a kid when I made it. Every now and then I get comments where people think I'm a kid, but I honestly have no plans on updating it any time soon, I would rather just make a new channel than do that.
I did really get a few blowjobs from using tinder though. Idgaf if you don't believe that, cause it's not really much of an achievement. I just thought it was kind of funny and worth mentioning.
brickman409 Damn, with the spelling errors and all?
Trying to talk my wife into getting us one.
In 2003/2004 I dated and then married a Russian woman I met on a Russian Dating site. This is today's version of "mail order brides". To answer the question posed in the title of this video (as far as U.S. rules are concerned), no, you can't just order one and then marry them. About the only step that gets accelerated from a "regular" immigration process is that a "Fiance Visa" can be issued that bypasses the normal lottery process other immigrants have to go through. The fiance still has to be screened by the U.S. Consulate in her home country prior to being approved for a visa and, once in the United States, the couple MUST be married within 90 days of entry. Even though accelerated, the process for visa approval can still take a year from the time the U.S. citizen initially applies. The U.S. citizen can expect to pay upwards of $1,500 in fees for the visa and other paperwork required to convert a foreign national into a naturalized U.S. citizen. Once married, then prepare for about another year of paperwork to get through the rest of the Permanent Resident/Naturalization process. So at least as far as the U.S. is concerned, the concept of a "mail order bride" no longer means what it used to.
Fadamor Yeah, but I am Filipino and Black...and grew up in the states. My wife is straight up Filipina, we did the long way, because I thought it would be better that way...but friends told us "You should've did the fiance visa, it would've been faster".
What was the russian dating site?
If she is, then she got a raw deal. She earned herself a state license as a dental hygienist and spends her days fiddling in the putrid mouths of people with no clue about oral health care.
Wait what so all them pop ups are real damn! Missed out on some hot things
Fadamor sounds like great cover

It’s amazing how trust can be formed through honesty. It doesn’t matter how you find that honesty, just be honest about what you want. Someone is out there.
true, i once put an ad up saying stuff like i wont be your dream man by a long shot and get really moody etc, tons of replies, honesty seems to work!
My view on modern mail order brides is the biggest difference is how you are introduced. The rest is no different than any other long distance courtship and marriage, dependent on keeping the relationship going with little face to face interaction, lots of electronic and video communication.
If you could afford a mail order bride, wouldn't it be better to get a subscription to a mail-order girlfriend service instead?
Yes something like Gamefly. No late fees 😀
@@marvnuts How could you get late fees? Why would you keep one for more than a night or two? XD

Depends on what you're looking for. Some people want more than a series of one night stands.
@@JesseTheGameDev Well this WAS a joke thread.... XD
Knew a man who had a mail order bride. He was wheelchair bound, in his late 60’s, and needed a live in nurse. His family wanted him to also have companionship and took a very different path to get it. She was from the Philippines and trained as a nurse (her training would not be recognized in Canada) and she was a lovely woman. From what I saw she seemed quite happy and she was well aware what she was getting into -she was even sent all his medical records etc before they decided to marry. He died about seven years after they married and she inherited all him assets -which were extensive- and still seen as family by everyone.
Jessica H that crossed out portion is hilarious 😂👍
Different path indeed. It's amazing how many "nurses" there are in 3rd world countries lol
Thats awesome
So.. how did she kill him?
I think w/e poison she used took too long or he was too strong.
Joking aside, a lot of Filipino women are nurses, I worked with some Filipino guys and all their wives were nurses, even they thought it was funny.
I like that someone actually did real solid research into this. Nice job.
Omg that dude who wanted a wife that he could make an angel out of was so sweet,,, I'd date him
Sure you would. What if he was under 6 feet tall, would you date him then?
Kinda sounds like something a.clever serial killer would say… “…a girl I can make an angel out of.”
As in, a girl that he will kill & therefore, he will “make her an angel”.
I'm a dude and I would at least let him buy me a drink. I mean, everyone likes to feel wanted now and then...lol
I don't know, I think he sounded super creepy.

I know a woman who everyone says was a mail order bride and she’s actually so in love and happy with her husband. It’s the sweetest thing. ♥️
I worked with an East Indian family who had a construction company (among others). The grandparents were arranged and they'd been together for 60 years. The eldest son had a russian wife and I swear she was a mail order bride. They asked me to go over to their place and set up a massive new tv for them. Grandpa sat on the couch to see about positioning and grandma came in from the kitchen, sat right down next to him, took his hand in hers and rested her head on his shoulder. It was so sweet.
They had an incredibly attractive daughter. I'm talking runway model beautiful. I'm talking causing traffic accident beautiful. I heard a rumor that she was quite the B*tch. The eldest son let it on to me that the family had sent her back to India for an arranged marriage and a month after the wedding, he sent her home because of her demeanor. I ended up having a few run ins with her myself and she was the literally the WORST person (male or female) I'd ever had to deal with and I've dealt with some real winners.
One day we were standing outside their building talking about a project and the sister walks up. The eldest nods his head to her a couple of times to signal "hey hey, you, her, what about it"? lol I shook my head vigorously NOOOOOOO he rolled his eyes. When she left he said "No"? I said "not only no, but NOT ON YOUR LIFE no" lol He said "this is driving my parents nuts...they so want her married off but they can't even offer $100,000.00 to a guy to do it......hint hint hint" I said "make it $1,000,000.00" he just shook his head and walked away lol.....

Not exactly a "mail-order" situation but when Canada was starting out entire ships of women were sent over to be brides for the men. Stuff you missed in History class did a fascinating episode on The Filles du Roi (King's Daughters) that I found very interesting and slightly disturbing.
They also shipped over whole boats filled with orphans to fill out the population and get rid of street rats in London.
I heard 10% of Canadians today are descended from these stolen orphans- Canada is wild man.
I mean I see no problem with it as long as their is consent, no coercion or duress, and everything is above board. It's marriage not slavery, if they don't like their circumstance they can always get a divorce.
"It's marriage not slavery..."
Why'd you say the same thing twice?

I remember hearing a story on the radio, on one of the older radio drama shows, which was based on this but set in the future. Sorry but I don't really remember the name of the story, and I vaguely recall the term "Radio Mystery Theater" but I'm not sure if it was on this.
The story. It is set in the future and two con men are on Mars running a mail order bride buisness. These two are in a remote area of Mars in a mining colony composed only of men... And they are making arrangements to bring wives from Earth for them.
The pair had signed up desperate women from Earth that wanted, well, they were living in bad situations or they were less than plain-looking and men had no interest in them as wives OR women.
The two con men saw how plain they were and substituted pictures from a modeling SCAM they had done earlier for the women's pictures.
The miners chose wives and paid for the price of a round trip ticket plus the con mens "Finders Fees" plus an amount to be given to the women themselves. But it would take several weeks for the women to arrive, and the men were getting very nervous about the situation: The men were concerned that their "gorgeous " wives... Remember that they had been given modeling pics of attractive women... wouldn't like life in their remote area of the planet. It was rough hard work and there were none of the perfumes,clothing stores, and the like the men thought their prospective wives were used to.
Now the two con men had run this SCAM before and they always left a day or so before the wives were to arrive and BOTH SIDES realized that they had been conned.
But not this time... The miners delayed them until their wives were to arrive on the only transport that went to their mining colony.
The two con men thought that they were going to be killed by both sides.
However, when the wives began arriving, the men were overjoyed to see that they were NOT fashion models but rugged women like themselves. And after they talked together, that these women were used to doing hard work and living in conditions the men were living in.
On the women's side, they were getting something they had never had in their lives... Men actively wooing and romancing them. And being totally serious about it.
Instead of being horribly killed, the two con men became heroes to both sides, and attended as honored guests all of the marriages that were performed. Not one woman went back to Earth.
In other places, their scam had resulted in enraged people on both sides... But in this case, it led to rock solid marriages and children about a year later.
Why did this happen? The story ends with one of the con men saying that the women who had signed up socially were "Below Plain looking" BUT the men who had signed on to work in a remote mine on Mars were likewise socially "Below Plain Looking" as well. Then finished it by saying that it was like running the lead bars painted gold scam, only to discover that the mark was far more interested in lead than in gold.
Oddly enough that story is indicative of a major issue facing society today. I have found more often than not, plain looking women think they deserve a 10 gq investment banker. There's a term for them: 410's....fours that think their are 10's. That has been my experience since the 80's....it started with a book called "don't settle" and it taught women that they shouldn't settle on a "good man" they should wait until their dream man comes along.....hence why the most unhappy person in the west is a 42 year old woman with a successful career, no husband and no kids.
A good hardworking man isn't good enough for most these days.
@@muskokamike127 in that I agree. Wealthly men have wives and mistresses. But it is well known that many women chase after wealthly or important men because they want to get something out of them.
In Hollywood there are many starlet- wannabes who'd have wild sex with any "Producer" in order to get a movie role. Even if the "producer" was an obnoxious jerk and uglier than Quasimodo on a bad day.
These women are shooting for the wealthy upper crust lifestyle and would go for money instead of love.
I believe the statistics are 80% of women are hunting less than 30% of men.
The irony being that if you are the cream of the crop you are usually high maintenance/unfaithful and egotistical. Less is more as they say, so most men that women wouldn't look twice at are the men they SHOULD be looking for.
Reminds me of a matchmaker/marriage councillor joke. It's long so I won't write it if there is no interest.
@@AtmonTheExectioner so true... And it includes women chasing after men AND men who use their power to victimize specific women. Like the old "Casting Couch" jokes, the many "Bikini" babes movies, and the entitled women known as "Karen's"
@@zaphodthenth Funny enough; in the modern day women are more likely to be unfaithful than men.
I haven't had a gf for years and girls call me a freak. The thing is...I COULD get a gf if I wanted to. But I don't. Western women are like fast food dating. They always want to move onto the next thing. The quote they used in this video about the dating pool being wide but shallow...I agree 100%. They all say/want the same things and it's boring. "I want to travel. I don't want kids. I want to focus on a career. I want to enjoy my youth."
That's fine I guess. But as a traditional man that only has mild progressive values in that I believe a relationship should be 50/50...its not what I am looking for. And when you ask them what they bring to the table in the relationship...most can't answer that beyond beauty/sex. Cool; but I want more than that. I want commitment, trust, I want to know you have my back as I have yours. I want to know that you aren't going to go sleep with a co-worker or one of my friends after we have an argument over a bill or who forgot to take outh the trash or why I couldn't make dinner with family. I want someone who wants someone who is going to be as loyal to them no matter how hard things get.
I am looking for a woman with a fishing boat and motor, send pictures of boat and motor.
Why not just buy the boat and motor on its own and skip the middleman, or middlewoman, in this case?
Her ex is going to be pissed. But the next guy will get your car
Motorboating?
You don't need an actual boat or motor for that though.
Very round about way to get a picture of tits.

Please create a fake Tinder profile with those same words, and tell us how many approvals it got. You have to do it. For science.
Ah.. Marriage. Unhonest prostitution.
People have been 'ordering' brides for eons. It has worked as well as tragically failed. Just like people marrying for love. Success depends on those two individuals.
There are a lot of people who do not marry for love. Rather money, family, or status. To be honest, I find myself rather in the second one there, family. I want to settle down, have a family soon enough ideally, have kids. And yes, I would want love, but clearly my hunt isn't just "to find a woman to love", in both senses of the word.
I see nothing wrong with it. I would want my marriage to include love, just not necessarily be the primary purpose of it.
@@adrianbundy3249 More people need to look at it like that honestly. You are, after all, marrying a whole person and not one feeling. I think the biggest mistake is trying to tie down "One Right Way" when there is clearly more than one right way. Culture, Interests, even economics can matter to some. It really depends on those two people. If you marry someone who is abusive it really doesn't matter why or how you married, that relationship is toxic and should be abandoned. If you marry for culture reasons that doesn't exclude a love growing. Underage forced marriages do not count as that is forced slavery. All potential partners should have the right the consent or say no.
@@uselesscause6128 More to the point, I feel too many people go there not just for a feeling, but an idea of a person as they are then, without long term thinking on how people change long term. And if you don't have the right ideas about long term planning, like I hope to achieve, the relationship can be stressed quite a bit more over time. Even kids could be a factor if you didn't think about how each mentality would be towards them, as they could either be a binding force, or a separating force, sadly enough - for some parents. And they don't consider it coming into it.
My issue is finding a women these days with the family values I look for is hard, but as it is the only reason for me to really keep a women, I say no to all other options easy enough. Still, they appear to be hard to come by, in a world gone mad, and quite a bit vain. I am also not saying 'full trad fam', as I understand that a working mom isn't necessarily a bad one, just that the goal would be the kids, for parents in general, and it will be done, not put very far off, and it will be planned, and taken care off properly whichever way is best at the time, to things we can both accept.

Same; I'm Canadian and my husband is English. We've been married 21 years, together for 22, and have 2 kids. Met online before it became a thing. 👍😊
Same here. Met on FB, went over to Skype and talked for hours. Became good friends. I lived in Ireland, he lived in Norway. When we met in person we fell in love. I moved to Norway and since I did not have back up money at the time he paid for moving my stuff. I guess I qualify. 😂 9 years later we are still together, married 7 years, have a child together. Starting out as long distance we have very good communication skills, which makes us strong against problems. Not my fault I didn't fall for the neighbour boy and marry him instead. 😁

So here we are, 9 years later and I speak Norwegian and understand Swedish and written Danish and he learned Hungarian. Happened to get married and buy a house, have a child while we learned from each other. Found out thanks to our fluency in English that we are both avid readers, love movies and any arts and crafts. Would have fallen for him also if he lived closer, so we have merely met in a silly way. 🙂

When I was in university, one of my classmates was a mail order bride from the Philippines. She was already a trained accountant but her qualifications were not recognised so her husband paid her tuition fees to get certified. Nice lady and she got her friend a husband via the same process, only thing is that the 2nd lady ended up working as a waitress in the same restaurant where I had a part time job. 2 mail order brides but with very different fates in the end ...
I saw a news piece a long time ago about a guy who set up a mail-order bride service for bachelor farmers in America. He'd go to the local high school and ask how many guys planned to still live in the area in ten years. A number of them raised their hands. Then he'd ask the girls, and NOT ONE of them would raise their hand. He'd say, "This what you're facing guys: being in your prime marrying years without a single eligible woman around."

I had a Berber friend once. He told me that in parts of Morocco you could go to a market and see girls up for sale - by their fathers. They would be on a platform to be shown off,and you just worked out an agreement with the dad to purchase the girl.
I met my husband online, he's from Nigeria and yep you just know how that played out. That's right he asked me for £250, used the money to do some business which earned him £1,000 which he used to get a visa to Germany, he learnt German, learnt a trade, worked hard to get us a place to live and then I moved to Germany to be with him and we had three kids and are still very happy and in love after 11 years.

That was an investment
Yeah, in the '90's I knew a guy from work who got interested in "Russian Brides". After the fall of communism and the opening up of the nations that had made up the former Soviet Union there were a lot of women there who were eager to find a husband in the west. This guy went to one of those places that organized "mixers" . The prospective husbands went on a tour of the former Soviet States going to a number of different cities where mixers had been organized. If a guy met a girl he liked and she liked him - he'd visit with her family and get to know them - cause one of the things not mentioned in this video was that you were NOT JUST getting a wife - you were getting her family too. Once they got a daughter in The States - they were going to start working on getting ALL of them over there with her.
The guy I knew was a kind of quiet, shy, mousy computer programmer who would not have and had not found success on the dating scene here. Last I heard - he'd found himself a bride but then I lost touch with him due to the vagaries of work so I don't know how it went. I recall that she was pretty.
As to the money - with this guy as an example - as a computer programmer, he was a very well paid person with a highly marketable skill. Lacking any one but himself to spend his money on - yeah - he probably had a lot of money saved. For him to reach out for happiness that way was - if it worked - well worth the cost and the risk.
I also remember there being web pages you could find via a search on "Russian Brides". That had hundreds of pictures of girls on them. Of course, as with anything on the internet - you were going to be dealing with some things that were scams.
Since the different states of the former Soviet Union have gotten themselves sorted out some what, I've not heard as much about "Russian Brides" as I did back then. I suspect that with the stabilization of these countries their home town prospects improved and girls were less willing to undergo the stresses of taking up life with a strange man in a strange country.
As I understand it there are also any number of other countries around the world where you can find girls wanting a different life.
The impression I got from all of this was that most of these girls (from the places that were not scams ...) were decent people just looking for an opportunity to improve their lives and - yes - as said in the video, found western men a lot nicer to them than the local males. There was, of course, always the case that once they had their citizenship and had gotten their family moved over with them - they might lose interest in the guy who had made all that possible (especially girls who had been very young when they came over and were still very pretty). These girls now had access to other men in their new country, that were more appealing than the guy who'd been so desperate as to go looking for a "mail order bride". But - a lot of them genuinely loved the man who had gotten they and their family to their new country - if for no other reason than that he had done that for them.
.
The moving family over thing is also going to be less common with prospects there being better. It's one thing for an entire family to migrate when things are shit, it's another when things are okay.
Yes.
