Finding a Bride

There would be men out there who are looking for a ‘bride’. If

that’s you then the Internet has no shortage of places to find what

you are looking for. There are many ‘Marriage introduction

agencies’ and the like online, most noticeably from Russia and

Asia. Most of these sites target people in western countries with

promises of the ‘brides to be’ coming to meet you. In some cases it

can be as simple as paying your money and getting a bride.

This is obviously not what Internet dating is all about, but it’s

another alternative if that’s what you are after. Most of these

companies were around before the Internet took hold, and they have

found that the Internet is a great way to advertise the clients they

have available and to reach a worldwide audience.

You may find that once you start joining some personals sites,

your email address might end up on the list of these foreign

introduction agencies. If this happens you might receive regular

spam emails offering their services.

I cannot offer any advice on these sorts of agencies, but as always,

‘buyer beware’. Suffice it to say that I have heard success stories

and I’ve also heard of scams and things simply not working out.
