Being from Russia myself, there is a really good reason why there are so many mail order brides....

As you guys know, Russian women (women from that part of the world) are on average, very attractive. The problem is, due to Russia's economy, and overwhelming amount of Russian men are abusive alcoholics. These women have nowhere to turn but out. They are not looking for greencards or money. They just want someone to care for them, provide for them, spend time with them and take them out of that god forsaken sh1thole. Don't look at Moscow. Russia on the whole, is nothing like it.

Thanks. I thought that might be what it was.

I got the avatar pic from this website : www.32hours7minutes.com

Well, that's very subjective.

Where might I find one of these "catalogs"? I wouldn't mind finding a nice hot russian.... blond hair, blue eyes, and all the right parts in all the right places.

Seriously, someone point me in the right direction.

Gee, I don't know why I didn't think of that!

I can't imagine the crap that would pop up while searching for "hot russian mail order brides"... thanks but no thanks.

Does anyone have a reputable source to thumb through?

www.russianbrides.com

There was a documentary done by A&E or one of the other cable channels in the last few years about this. It was pretty sad. They showed 10 American guys going over and wandering around "socials" with 800 or so Russian women. The whole thing was pretty bizarre.

I worked with a woman whose former boss did this. He was a divorced 55 year old guy who was very successful - making $800k per year. He went over three or four times and finally picked one. The guy was socially awkward, but certainly must have had options here.

Apparently American men don't go over to hook up and leave the women and come home. The Russian women see thru that and are looking for a serious relationship.
