You certainly have heard
about mail order brides and Russian women seeking
foreign men for marriage, but most likely you have
not met any real-life Russian brides.
Let me introduce you to a few of them - a tiny
fraction of many thousands Russian women that have
found their love and marriage abroad.
But first, a reality check:
-
What kind of
Russian women are seeking partners abroad?
-- Some desperate, poor girls that try to
better their lot in life by "selling
themselves"?
-
Who are the men
that seek Russian brides?
-- Some old, fat, unattractive losers, who
cannot get any woman at home and are
"buying women" in poor countries?

Do those answers seem to
make sense to you?
Then read on - you are up to a big surprise!

truth about Russian brides" (http://www.womenrussia.com/aboutrussianbrides.htm)

regard to Russian women seeking men for
marriage. |

Elena
Hughes - M-degree, married to an American
man she met online.
Elena used to have a successful travel agency
back at her home country Belarus but decided
that having her own family was more important
than a career. So she sold her travel agency and
set her goals on finding a husband. Now Elena is
the happiest mom of a beautiful baby-girl and
thinks it was well worth it. Meet Elena at http://www.russian-wife.net |

Elena

to a South African man for more than 5 years,
currently living in Australia. Elena has two
children in her marriage, a boy and a girl.
Back in Russia, Elena used to be a regional
manager of a large marketing agency, having 150
people working for her. Her income would fit
into top 10% of the population. Now Elena's
website "Russian Brides Cyber Guide" (http://www.womenrussia.com)
is one of the most popular places for
information about Russia - even school kids
writing essays about Russia use it. Her second
website "Elena's Models" (http://www.elenasmodels.com)
is a dating agency for Russian girls seeking
serious relationship and possible marriage, with
clients in 47 countries of the world. |
So - what do you think
about real-life Russian brides?
Do they sound like low-class, desperate poor girls
"selling themselves"?
No.
Neither their husbands are
unattractive old fat losers.
Take my husband for example: he used to be a top-manager
of a corporate company, the head of finance department,
and a successful athlete as well - running marathons and
ultra-marathons, and has got 3 medals for the toughest
Comrades Marathon, which is 90 km through the hills (the
ones who run marathons will know what it means!).
6'4" tall and trim, you think he could not find
anyone at his home country?!
So WHY those men and women
set up to look elsewhere for marriage partners?
The answer is simple: CHOICE!
They can find a better quality partner
abroad than is available for them at their home countries.
That's it.
No hidden agenda, "buying women" - "selling
themselves", just natural human aspirations.
Forget "mail order brides" nonsense - the fact
that people marry somebody from a different country than
their own is a natural attribute of the Internet age where
national borders have started to fade.
We live in the interesting times, pals.
Embrace the opportunities!
