I ran across this post this morning when checking my news feeds and can’t help but to share it. First of all Clarissa, if you don’t want to attract traffic related to Russian mail order brides then don’t write about them. Obviously, you’ve written about them once and realized a nice boost in AdSense income or you wouldn’t be writing again.
I do agree that the term “mail order bride” is a bit degrading to women but you know as well as I that much of what is written on the internet is for the machines and not humans. That’s right, men do still use the term mail order bride when searching instead of the more modern term “international introductions”. That is why you see the term all over the internet and including your post.
The fact is there have been thousands of marriages formed from the initial meeting of two people searching for love through one of these international introduction agencies and I personally know several. These couples are raising happy families and contributing to their communities that they live.
Sure, not all marriages turn out happy but that is true in our general society to day. Sure, some of the women advertising themselves on the internet are not sincere and are only after money. These agencies try to police this the best they can. The recently passed International Marriage Broker Act does help to protect these women from known criminals and sexual abusers. These women are shown a man’s criminal record and history of divorces, number of children, etc. and they can make the decision whether they want to correspond with the man or not.
I think we should live and let live. If two people want to contact each other via Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, an international introduction agency or what ever, it it their choice.

Men Who Buy Mail Order Brides
Whenever I mention the word “Russia” on my blog in any context whatsoever, I immediately get these disgusting ads placed on my site by Google AdSense that advertise mail-order brides. I have already written about these sites and the way women on them present themselves and their expectations. This time, I decided to go on one of these sites** to look at what type of man (i.e. sorry loser) would try to find a woman in this degrading manner. (Of course, this is a vicious circle because this very post I am writing will bring more of this advertisement to my blog.)This is the way in which the creators of the website answer the question why a man should use a catalogue of Russian women in order to find a wife:
“Think a Russian woman is no different from any other? Think again! Russian women possess a certain indescribable quality you just can’t find around the block. This unique attribute can be likened to a softness of character so personified, you’d swear it’s all an act. Gentlemen, this is no act! A Russian woman is what every man wants a true woman to be. She’s tender and not afraid to reveal her weaknesses. She realizes that she needs her partner’s support, and for her, that’s OK! She’s not looking to compete with you, but rather to love you and be loved by you, nothing more. Isn’t that everything a relationship is supposed to be?”
First of all, it is obvious why the disgusting jerks who are attracted by this kind of advertisement will never find a woman who will actually like them and not just tolerate them for money and a green card. Second, I feel profoundly sorry for these idiots who are looking for a “weak” and “soft” woman in Russia of all places. Boy, are they in for a surprise. It makes me happy to imagine how all these freaks marry Russian women believing that they got themselves a sad, weak and submissive little slave and end up discovering that they are not and can never be a match for the strength of personality that these women possess.
The website in question is so stupid that it even tries to convince the ugly bride-seekers that Russian women are so weird that they don’t care if the man they are with is butt-ugly:
“Many men assume that all women are overly concerned with a man’s appearance and how much money he makes? Sure, some are, but we know from experience that most Russian women aren’t. In general, Russian women do not place undue importance on their partner’s appearance or how deep his pockets are. They love their men for who they are on the inside and what they can bring to the relationship, not what they look like on the outside or how much money is in their bank accounts.
So what do you have to offer one of our ladies? Not quite sure? Well, are you prepared to be completely honest in your relationship, providing your full support whenever it may be needed? If so, you’ve already got what it takes to make one Russian woman very happy.”Observe the clumsy attempt to convince these men that mail-order brides are not after their money while introducing the contradicting idea about “providing full support.” It’s as if they were saying, “we know it’s all about material gain for these women. Otherwise, why would they waste themselves on a sorry loser who is so ugly that no woman from his own culture has shown any interest in him? But it hurts us to think that nobody wants us except for our wallets, so let’s pretend that it isn’t true.”
Truly, these men deserve all that is coming to them.
** Once again, I am not linking to this site in order to avoid promoting this hateful practice.
