			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>There are thousands of Russian dating sites available online, but part of the problem is simply wading through them looking for the best ones.  How do you know which Russian dating site you can trust?</p>
<p>In fact, can you actually trust any of them?  You’ve heard all of the stories about hot Russian girls duping American, European, and Australian men out of all of their money.  It really worth the risk?  Are these sexy Russian girls even real?</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 333px">
	<img class=" " style="border: 0pt none;" title="Sexy Russian models" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3498/3715813919_fb7b448fea.jpg" border="0" alt="04 x10K_ IMG_6895" width="333" height="500" />
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Russian women are sexy.  That is beyond dispute.</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><small><a title="Attribution License" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank"><img src="http://foreign-bride.net/wp-content/plugins/photo-dropper/images/cc.png" border="0" alt="Creative Commons License" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" /></a> <a href="http://www.photodropper.com/photos/" target="_blank">photo</a> credit: <a title="egor.gribanov" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23992271@N04/3715813919/" target="_blank">egor.gribanov</a></small></p>
<p>You’ve got to answer all of those questions for yourself, but first the girls are real. There are thousands of hot Russian girls that would like to marry a man from the United States, Europe, or another Western country.  Since the fall of the Soviet Union there have been thousands of marriages between Western men and beautiful Russian brides.</p>
<p>Yes, there some of them could be scammers, but so could any lady with a profile on Match.com or any other domestic dating site.  In fact, the international dating sites work much harder to protect men from scammers than the domestic sites do.  Every Russian dating site knows that if they do not deliver first class customer service that they will soon have lots of unhappy message boards to deal with, message boards that will pretty much be up forever.</p>
<h2>Hot Russian Brides</h2>
<p>You knew that, but did you know that these marriages apparently have a much LOWER divorce rate than other American marriages.  That was the conclusion of the only rigorous academic study on the mail order bride industry and of government reports to the United States Congress and another one in Switzerland.</p>
<p>The simple fact that being happily married and living in Kansas City or Spokane is not a story, but if some beautiful Russian bride in Phoenix goes crazy that stays in the news for weeks.  And if an American man abuses his Russian wife that never seems to leave the news, because the news is not a record of normal events.  The news is coverage of the interesting, exciting, different, and most importantly the scary.</p>
<p>If you really research the truth about mail order brides you will be shocked at how much of the data on mail order brides is positive.  A Russian dating service may actually be the best place to meet the love of your life.</p>
<p>The important thing for a man is to pick to carefully pick through the Russian dating sites carefully.</p>
<p>First, to paraphrase some stockbroker, the best indicator of future performance is past success, so look for the international Russian mail order bride sites with long successful track records.  For instance, Elena’s Models, A Foreign Affair, and Anastasia International have all been in business since the mid-1990s and they have thousands of happy marriages to their credit.</p>
<p>Second, there are some good agencies based in Russia.  Be Happy Today is a large Russian dating service, but there are others, however, the vast majority of the scam agencies are based in Russia or another Eastern European country where you will have almost no legal recourse to get your money back if you are unhappy.</p>
<p>A Foreign Affair is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and it gets an A from the Arizona Better Business Bureau.  Anastasia International is based in Maine and Elena’s Models is based in Australia.</p>
<p>Third, the larger Russian dating sites tend to have much better customer service.  Simply, put the industry leaders might be a little more expensive, but they are much more safe.</p>
<p>So, take a look at these beautiful Russian ladies.  The right Russian girlfriend could probably make you very happy.</p>

<p>There are literally tens of thousands of beautiful Asian women signed up on the various Asian dating sites, because across Asia many women really want to become mail order brides.  Every Asian dating site is an example of how the world is changing.</p>
<p>Of course, poverty is part of the equation, but they also have heard stories about women from their area who are happily married a man from the United States or the European Union.  That makes them very curious about signing up with an Asian dating service.</p>
<p>Most Asian girls are raised in strict heavily patriarchal societies, but it is wrong to assume that this means that they are submissive. Often it means that they are looking for a guy who will treat them the way that they see women in Europe and the United States treated on television and in the movies.  These ladies want romance and often that is not a big part of their culture, so they look to sign up with an Asian dating site.</p>
<p><img style="border: 0pt none;" title="Beautiful Asian brides" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2497/4238624138_d5b3013d62.jpg" border="0" alt="20100102-DSC_9533" width="500" height="332" /><br />

<h2>Asia Girls</h2>
<p>In Asia girls are still forced into arranged marriages in many of the more rural areas.  In the worst cases girls are sold like beef on the hoof to big city pimps who use employee them in brothels and bars.   Even in more middle class families sometimes beautiful Asian women have never even met their groom until their wedding day, dowries are still negotiated, and a girls family often can veto her choice of a husband.</p>
<p>Girls signing up for Asian dating sites are explicitly breaking with these traditions and so they are actually showing a lot more independence than most Western men that visit the sites ever realize.   In fact, often they are defying the wishes of their families, because in some Asian countries there is still a strong taboo against marrying outside of your own ethnic or religious group.</p>
<p>Most Western guys really are looking for romance even if they feel like they have to travel halfway around the world to find it and there are many beautiful Asian women who are incredibly happy to be romanced.</p>
<p>These women signed up at an Asian dating service, because they are interested in finding a man just like you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Women Looking For Men</h2>
<p>Foreign bride is a site for US, European, Canadian, and Australian men interested in international dating, and if you are a single guy between 30-80 who has a decent job and no criminal record you should at least consider pursuing international dating.</p>
<p>Up until very recently pursuing sexy foreign brides was something that was a dating option only available to the rich and famous.   Kings often pursued foreign women for political reasons, but great merchants often married a foreign bride because they are unique and that is at least part of what makes a sexy girl sexy.</p>
<p>The same thing applies on the other side, because women looking for men were also forced to accept whatever happened to be available locally.</p>
<p>That may sounds crazy, but if every girl was gorgeous average girls would be the stunners.   In the Ukraine and that is pretty much the case as a few clicks through our galleries will show.</p>
<p><a title="Bride" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/75382840@N00/3606119285/" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0pt none;" title="Beautiful Foreign Bride" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3390/3606119285_9444a09652.jpg" border="0" alt="Bride" width="334" height="500" /></a><br />

<h2>Foreign Brides</h2>
<p>Anyhow, today even average guys have a shot at sexy foreign brides thanks to the Wright Brothers inventing the airplane it is fast and cheap for a guy to travel anywhere in the world to meet a beautiful woman, and, thanks to Al Gore inventing the internet, it is possible for a man to get acquainted if with woman from almost anywhere online for nearly free.  Women looking for men feel pretty lucky too.</p>
<p>And because of the political détente since the end of the Cold War, millions of women that were formerly off the market are available.</p>
<p>So, why not take a shot?  The women are real and they are looking for American and European men.  Do we promise you’ll find the love of your life here?  No, but it’s a better chance than trying to win the Powerball.</p>
<p>Take a look: There are stunning blonds, gorgeous redheads, and brunettes hot enough to make you howl at the moon.  Foreign brides are awesome.</p>
<p>And it does not have to be any more expensive than courting a local girl.  Click on some of the photos and I believe you&#8217;ll see what I mean. Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div id="body">
<p>Latin Dating sites have been the fastest growing segment of the international dating industry in the last few years and it is easy to understand why?</p>
<p><img style="border: 0pt none;" title="Hot Latina Bikini Babe" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2719/4261309144_3612e7eb13.jpg" border="0" alt="Maria Jose Emelec" width="357" height="500" /><br />
<small><a title="Attribution License" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" target="_blank"><img src="http://foreign-bride.net/wp-content/plugins/photo-dropper/images/cc.png" border="0" alt="Creative Commons License" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" /></a> <a href="http://www.photodropper.com/photos/" target="_blank">photo</a> credit: <a title="emelec" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/66347507@N00/4261309144/" target="_blank">emelec</a></small><br />
Yeah, Latin babes are hot, hot, hot!  You can see that on any Latin dating site.  Also, it is a lot easier flight to Latin America than it is to Russia or the Ukraine.  Furthermore, many Americans know at least a smattering of Spanish, so they tend to feel that more comfortable trying to negotiate their way through a Spanish speaking country rather than one that speaks Russian or another Slavic language that they have no experience with.</p>
<h2>Latin Dating Service</h2>
</div>
<div>Colombia  is the country that really started the explosion of Latin dating sites in about 2000 after the country began to recover from the crime and instability of the previous twenty years.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Today Colombia has become much safer and more prosperous than it was only a few years ago.  Compared to Russia or the Ukraine, it&#8217;s relatively cheap and easy to travel to Colombia, and let&#8217;s face it, these Latin women are simply hot!</div>
<div></div>
<div>A Foreign Affair is really the original Latin dating service.  At first it was simply to supplement their schedule in Eastern Europe during the winter.  Today they still probably have more women&#8217;s profiles from Latin America than any other agency and they certainly offer more tours than anyone else.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Amolatina is a much more recent Latin dating site.  They make a real effort to find the most beautiful women and they are backed by one of the largest companies in the international dating industry.  They also offer tours and other services for members.</div>
<div></div>
<div>There are a lot of Latin dating sites, but you should be very careful about signing up for one of these services, particularly if it is based in South America.  It can be very difficult to get your money back from someone if you are unhappy and they live in Rio.</div>
<div></div>
<div>On the other hand Amolatina is based in the European Union and A Foreign Affair is based in Arizona.  That really makes a difference if you ever have a problem.</div>

<h2>Best International Dating Sites</h2>

<p>Are you looking to find a wife, who really is, &#8220;out of your league.&#8221;  Then you really should consider international dating sites.</p>
<p><small><a title="ATKR" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7693002@N07/2695909528/" target="_blank"></a></small></p>
<p>Generally, it is probably better to consider the big, well established sites like <em>Foreign Affiar, Elena&#8217;s Models, Cherry Blossoms, </em>or even <em>Anastasia</em>, because all of these companies really want to make you happy.  Yes, these are all paid sites, but that gives them some huge advantages for you to find a wife who will really make you happy.</p>
<p>First, the big paid sites try to protect you from scammers, because they are making too much money running a legit business to risk loosing everything to scammers. You can find all sorts of wild charges on the internet, but companies based in the United States, the European Union, Australia, and other Western countries, which all of the above are, are very heavily regulated.  More importantly, they are making good money and if they allowed or condoned scammers they would risk loosing everything and possibly going to prison.</p>
<p>Second, the smaller free dating sites usually offer little or no customer service, because they can&#8217;t afford to employ staff to answer e-mails or phone calls and they also cannot be as vigilant about scammers.  Often the small sites really do not try to do anything at all about scammers.</p>
<p>Third, the big sites offer a lot of other services that you are probably going to need to actually court a foreign woman.  For instance, you are probably going to need translation services and you will certainly need an immigration lawyer.  You also might need a tour guide and a driver and someone who knows what the best hotel in Minsk is.</p>
<p>Anyhow, all of the girls on this site are from the very best international dating sites.  So, get out of your league and have some fun!</p>

<p>International marriage has become increasingly common today, but for many people it still carries negative connotations, because of the term mail order bride.</p>
<p>First, the people that object to the modern mail order bride business generally do not understand it.  They believe that it portrays women as commodities being bought and sold. In reality, that is simply not the case, and the vast majority of mail order bride agencies are no different from regular internet dating sites like Match.com and Chemistry.com.</p>
<h2>Foreign Marriage</h2>
<p>Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, when United States was still largely a frontier country, the male settlers often had a difficult time finding a brides. In fact, in some of the boom towns in the California goldfields men sometimes outnumbered women 500 to 1, and there were occasionally areas with literally no women at all.</p>
<p>So, these   and began to correspond with women living far away. At the same time, many European and some American women ecided to travel west, hoping to find a new life and the man of their dreams.</p>

<p><em>Notice the lack of women in the photo above.  Miners often were willing to give up a lot of gold for a good foreign bride.</em></p>
<p>Smart businessmen realized the potential and the mail order bride system was born, allowing women to announce their desire to get married and look for a husband that way.  The system continued in that way for many, many years, but it was generally a very small part of the overall number of marriages in the United States.</p>
<p>In the 1960s the large number of American servicemen serving in the Vietnam War led to a the development of a small business in Asian, principally, Filipina brides.</p>
<p>However, the with the fall of the Soviet Union, more and more Eastern European women have become mail order brides, particularly Russian brides, Ukrainian brides and Moldovan brides. In the last ten years, there has also been a real growth in Latin brides from Central and South America who are also looking for a foreign husbands from the United States and Europe.</p>
<p>The Internet has changed so many aspects of contemporary life, and the international marriage industry is no exception.  The online age has seen a huge boom in the mail order bride business.</p>
<p><strong>IMBRA<br />
</strong></p>
<p>In an effort to ensure the safety of foreign women marrying Americans, the United States passed the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) in 2005. IMBRA was intended to make these international relationships more transparent, provide women more information about the men they are dating, and let the women know the rights they had when they moved to the United States.</p>
<p>IMBRA tates that mail order bride websites based in the United States or doing business in the United States have to ask their male clients for background information, including criminal records, divorces etc., and make this information available to the women these men correspond with.</p>
<p>A lot of the online dating agencies were adamantly opposed to IMBRA, and many firmly believed that it would destroy their business. In fact, IMBRA has led to a growth in the business, because it makes women more sure about signing up for an agency.  It also has made it easier to battle scammers, because it makes it easier for agencies to keep up with which women are contacting an unusual number of men and so on, because the agency has to send out the man&#8217;s packet to a woman first and then the woman has to say she is interested.</p>
<p>A woman really interested in international marriage might really want to correspond with a few dozen or perhaps a few score men, but not hundreds and hundreds.</p>
