Mail order brides/Grooms

[o1pickleboy]

If you were forced to marry someone from another country without knowing anything at all about them. Just what country they are from. What country would you most prefer your future spouse come from.

On the poll I didn't pick any english speaking nations. I figured they would be a given. Due to our natual desire to with similar people.

[i_mmmchocolate]

I picked other.

1 tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Swedish guy, please.

[Winslow]

I'm already married, but played along anyway.

Japan.

And it looks like I'm not alone.

[Karl J. Barnes]

I picked France. I love those accents and the women seem to be very open...

Japan.

Could a good divorce lawyer construe this as cheating??

[Slam_Bradley]

Mexico. And she better, by God, know how to make tamales.

No...but if the wifey sees it, it could be mental cruelty.

[Dom]

Other - Italy.

I want Monica Belluci, Maria Grazia Cucinotta and Sofia Loren.

[Ray R.]

I picked Russia, but Japan's 1A.

Since I speak the languages (badly), I figure it'd be a smoother transition....

[Winslow]

No...but if the wifey sees it, it could be mental cruelty.

I will pay good money to ensure the wife DOES not see this.

[Winslow]

Other - Italy.

Dom makes a strong case for Italy . . .

[GremlinClr]

Japan all the way. There's just something about Asian women…

[StoneGold]

Rwanda. There's just something about women with distended bellies...

[Typo Lad]

No...but if the wifey sees it, it could be mental cruelty.

If I voted and my wife saw it, it would result in physical cruelty.

We all know how you'd vote anyway.

Actually, I've been leaning away from the preference to which you're hinting.

Gadzooks!!!


I guess my choice was pretty obvious. Though if said Mexicali gali can't make tamales, I'd go Japanese.

[Punchy]

I was in Moscow a few months ago and after seeing the women there I'll say Russia. But that's mostly because I don't think there are many mail-oreder brides coming over from England.

But did you see their mothers?


This is a hard survey to answer if you feel obliged to consider the odds of cultural compatibility rather than aesthetics.

[JeffreyWKramer]

I went with Brazil, because most Brazilian women I've known have been amazingly hot.

"'Allo luv, let me giv'you a kiss!"

I just want to say that your posts are absolutely hilarious.

Carry on.

[Shellhead]

I voted India, because apparently I'm the only (shallow) one who has noticed that Miss India keeps winning the worldwide beauty pageants. Plus, a lot of women there speak english fairly well.

[Huh?]

All of you that voted for Japanese women may be in luck... linky (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4714135.stm)

[StoneGold]

I just want to say that your posts are absolutely hilarious.

Carry on.
Please, no, you're just encouraging me.

[K'Nort]

See, if we're just going by hot, I'd probably vote either Spain or Egypt. But then they'd pull some macho crap and I'd have to kick their ass.

[MarvelKnight]

That actually sounds really scary, I'll go with Spain. The chances of getting a good looking broad is greater than others.

[o1pickleboy]

Wow, I didn't think the Japanese had such a fanbase(or lustbase)

[Grant]

Russia. It's a whole country of hot chicks with low expectations.

[Dave Cote]

I'd say Russia they are some of the most beautiful women I have ever meet.

[Dennis K]

I used to work for a guy who had a mail order bride from Russia, and she was smoking hot, so I voted for Russia.

[Karl J. Barnes]

Can you imagine the postage cost for ordering a bride from another country?? I guess, it would be cheaper than an actual wedding.

[Shellhead]

Russia's got a lot of alcoholics, a rapidly growing AIDS epidemic, and a declining population. I would rank their mail-order brides low for those reasons. My best friend disagrees. He's moving to St. Petersburg next winter, to supervise his real estate investments and to hopefully meet his future wife. Poor fool.

Oh, sure, if you're going to think about this with your brain...

[Karl J. Barnes]

I do! Of course, part of it is located around my groin area...

[ScottDMSimmons]

*Pretending I'm single/available*

I voted China. I think Maggie Cheung is beautiful (actress in 50 or more films including Hero, Irma Vep, Supercop). And I already like some of the movies from there (I've seen alot of them the last ten years). I think at least the bride and I would have some pop-cultural stuff in common.

Ummm......what the heck does that have to do with hot women?

Most of the alcoholics are men (that's why the male life expectancy is somewhere around 58 or 59, women are in the high 70s), the AIDs "epidemic" is overstated, and Japan and most of Europe have negative or static population growth. Not sure what your point is....

I'm married to a Russian, and going there in three weeks or so to check my "investments" (several apartments), and believe me there's no shortage of beautiful, intelligent women to choose from, mail order or not. There's a flip-side to the beauty, which I could go into with detail, and I'm definitely not pro-Russian in many ways culturally, but you're using generalizations that are very misleading.

[HomerJay]

Thought about Russia, but went with Brazil instead because of the carnivale in my pants.
Would they be customizable as if I were buying a Dell computer?

I'll upgrade to a D cup please...

[Harold of the Rocks]

I voted other. Brazil and Mexico are high on my list (as are all latinas). My preference is for a latina from a smaller country than those two (I also speak spanish, but not portugese), so let's start with Guatemala and work our way south, if need be. Some strong cases being made for other regions of the world, but I gotta stay with Latin America.

[ghostrider666]

Russia all the way!

[K'Nort]

Am I the only one who keeps hearing the horror stories of the Russian mail order bride scams? I even know a guy who nearly fell for one. Sending money for a visa to visit and such. And they're famous for dumping anyone who brings them over here as soon as the paperwork goes through too. That's not saying all Russian women, of course. That's saying the ones who work for the more unscrupulous agencies.

[StoneGold]

The real problem with with Russian women is the hotness life expectancy. Here's Miss Russia from last year...

Stonegold gets my vote for funniest picture references.

To be fair, I stole the concept from an Onion gag a few weeks back. Although I tracked down the art myself.


Nothing like explaining a joke to ruin it.

[Shades0077]

I had to go with Russia. I mean, it's traditional, isn't it? The Russian mail order bride? Plus, as has been mentioned already by many a poster, there is the incredible hotness factor to consider.

[Shellhead]

Since I mentioned their serious AIDS problem, four more people have voted for Russia. Maybe I should have used the term "cooties."

You totally stole that from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart presents America (The Book).

Fine I pick India. You're awfully judgemental for a guy who admits to seeing escorts.

[Shellhead]

Good point. I guess my real problem is the lack of available Indian escorts in the Twin Cities.

We've got Russians, but 2 out of 3 of the Russian mail-order brides that I've met here are divorced and living well at the ex's expense. The third is actually happy with her marriage.

Btw, the slang term in China for the guy who wants a mail-order bride: airline ticket.

[o1pickleboy]

I can't believe no one out there want a bride from Egypt.

Really? I could have sworn it was the Onion. I mean, I already admitted I stole it, so that wasn't the issue.

[Davideaux]

South Africa

They're cute. Have a lot of spunk. Love their men. But can I keep up with their energy?

So, according to your anecdotal evidence, 2/3 of Russian mail order marriages go bad versus 1/2 of regular marriages (which is not anecdotal).

Not bad percentages when you think about it....

[K'Nort]

Well I did opt for a groom. Inevitable, really, since I have seen Lawrence of Arabia.

[JerrBear81]

Japan. Prefferably a chubby guy. Fat asians turn me on.

[o1pickleboy]

I see alot of love for the Japenese

[StoneGold]

Self-involved thread revival, boo!!! Boo!!!!


That's just not cool. That's like anti-Fonzie. That's like Fonzie after he became a teacher and shacked up with the single mom.

[Evil Sneak]

Hmm... I've dated women from all those countries except South Africa & Egypt, let's see the breakdown.

Brazil
Maya - Brazillian / Israeli mix. Light brown skin, long Black hair, full pouty lips, brownish / hazel eyes. Curvaceous body (with Brazillian butt in tow), a simply gorgeous young lady, but stuck the hell up. She doesn't just want the world, she wants it on a silver platter, but only when she's ready. I know she's bad news and I know it will never last, but I love teasing & flirting with her, consider it a guilty pleasure.

Russia
Elena - Tall, (currently) blonde, blue eyed, supermodel-esque figure. Check that, Elena is "other women think she's gorgeous" gorgeous, she's "too hot to be dating me" gorgeous. When we dated she was really self-absorbed (yet very generous and kind hearted) and really flighty (she no-showed on a dinner date with me 3 times) to have anything lasting. Though we had great physical chemisty.

China
Akiko - (See pic attached - She's the one in the front) Waaaaaay to submissive. Loved everything else about her except she lacked backbone. Wouldn't stand up for herself, wouldn't tell you what she wanted. She was just a meek little (though naughty) sheep.

Egypt
N/A

India
Daphne (real name was Deepa) - Dark bronze skin, long black hair, athletic figure (she played collegiate soccer) dark brown eyes, soft earthy voice Daphne exuded passion & sexuality in everything she did, except for actual sex. Serious lack of energy. Not in just sex, but everything. It amazed me that she played collegiate soccer, cuase I really can't see her giving a damn if she won or lost.

South Africa
N/A

France
Delphi - (see attached photo) Quite the opposite of Daphne, tons of passion, lots of energy. She was smart, funny, she had a fully formed personality, and just too young. She wanted to be carefree and travel the world with just a backpack and a carton of cigarettes, and I wanted something more stable.

Mexico
Inez - Light brown skin, dark green eyes, great kisser, P-S-Y-C-H-O. After two weeks she was telling folks we were getting married soon, and gonna have kids within the year. Adios senorita.

Still out of the listed choices, I'd say Brazillian. Maya is nuts, but she's smokin' hot.

[BlairH]

Poland or any of the Czech territories.

[Typo Lad]

Brazil
Maya - Brazillian / Isreali mix.


Excuse me. I have to go buy new pants.

[Evil Sneak]

Excuse me. I have to go buy new pants.

Yeah, like I said, Maya is smokin' hot, I'll take a picture of her tomorrow night, and post it.

[Typo Lad]

Yeah, like I said, Maya is smokin' hot, I'll take a picture of her tomorrow night, and post it.

I thank you and my pants thank you.

[StoneGold]

I thank you and my pants thank you.
You know what's going to happen now the next time Suzannah is looking to buy you pants on the Internet, right?

Nah, that's why he switched back to Typo Lad and not "He Who Shall Not Be Named".

[Gilda Dent]

I was suprised that the Philippines isn't on there. The Philippines is the single most common source of foreign brides for American men. One the couples that rent one of our units is a middle-aged man with a Filipino wife half his age, and they both seem quite happy with the situation.

That said, I have to agree with all of you voting for Japan. Japanese women are really quite beautiful. Not to mention smart, kind, compassionate, hard-working, and highly skilled, passionate lovers. With nice hair.
