If the woman marries them and they don't do as their told, they get threated to be taken back to their own countries. These guys (NOT men) simply can't control good women so they look to foreign countries where the people are desperate to get out. Basically these guys are looking to go back to their roots.....waaaaaay back, as in...back to the cave...ugh!
As for no mail order husbands...I guess as women we're just not that desperate and we're perfectly capeable of taking care of ourselves and we don't feel the need to control anybody. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 5:53:37 PM | ^^^ That's a little preumtuous.
Anyway, what many men whom pursue the girl-from-another-country don't know is what happens if the relationship goes sour after they bring her home (say, to Canada, for example). Basically, you're on the hook for that woman for 7 - 10 years, i.e., she becomes your 'dependant'. A client of mine is going through this right now. He went to Russian & found a gal. About 10 months later they married (in Italy I think). Some time after that he brought her (and her son) into Canada as his wife. This process took some time & a sh|t load of red tape & hoop jumping. Less that 6 months after living together as husband & wife, she decides he's not what she wanted. Now she gets to stay in Canada & this poor sap has to support here AND her son for either 7 or 10 years (I forget which it is) or until she remarries some other sucker (which won't take long since she looks like she fell off the cover of Cosmo). | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 8:46:11 PM | | Maybe I'm missing something here. Serves him right for what, exectly? Serves him right for searching beyond his own backyard for love? Or serves him right for being manipulated by another person? Which is it? | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 9:22:13 PM | | I wonder if there is any way I can become a mail order husband.... But then again, not so sure I'd enjoy riding around in a box. Those UPS people get a bit rough with some of the boxes I get. | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 11:04:52 PM | (((That's a silly question. Any woman can get a man, but not every man can get a woman. There is no need for a mail order husband.))) Yeah that is sooooo NOT true. Anyways i wish there were mail order husbands. I would order mine from Sweden . I would lock him in the basement and chain him to the bed.  | |

Posted: 5/12/2007 11:37:56 PM | Hey, I've thought about a mail order husband. Pickings around here are MIGHTY slim. I have also considered prison pen pals and driving to the border to see who needs a green card badly enough. Yeah, I'm that desperate. NO, any woman can not get a man. If that was true, I would have been married a looooong time ago, and yet, still single. Still haven't been in a relationship or had sex in two years. There just aren't any guys here who are willing to go out with me, or to whom I am attracted.
There is however, at least one superfly honey of a man in Chico, California. He's definitely got me California dreaming.... | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 2:54:04 AM | Hehe hmm now that site is hilarious! Now to the person that said anyone woman that can get any man, and that is true if you don't have anything that you are looking for LOL. So meeting up with someone that could be toxic and bad for you, likes to pick food out of his teeth with his super long toenails, and the lists goes on, etc. Uh yeah it sounds REALLY easy to find a man with quality.
So anyway I don't think that I would get to that point to order a man LOL. I think that the right man for me will pop up when I least expect it. Not THAT desperate to go order a man lol.

Posted: 5/13/2007 4:25:05 AM | | As amusing as this thread is, it's kind of sad that so many people can't find someone to be with. The biggest problem I have seen is that a lot of people would be great matches, but they live too far away from each other to actually date, and a vacation spent together is hardly grounds for a relationship. Somebody is going to have to relocate, and if the relationship goes sour, that somebody is screwed. Younger couples can get by with stuff like that. Some of us are too old for "romantic" adventures. We have spent years building support bases where we live, and working on careers. Women especially tend to settle where their families are located and don't want to leave. On top of that, the expense of traveling is becoming outrageous, so it makes it impractical to try to see someone more than a few hours drive away, and even those short trips can take a toll. Sigh! I am starting to think that my dream of retiring to the coast to open a little fishermen's bar and cafe with the girl of my dreams is going to be more like I am one of the lonely old drunks passed out at the bar in somebody elses cafe. I better get busy so that doesn't happen! (Shudder!) | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 4:37:36 AM | Does being a "mail-order husband" mean the guy has to pack up and move to where his wife lives? If that's the case, then I almost became one.
My ex was from Brazil with very little English and no marketable job skills for the USA. Don't get me wrong. She was a great person, just a little too naive. I guess she thought that since I speak fluent Portuguese and worked from home on a laptop computer, then I could just move down there. After I came back from visiting her in Brazil, a lot of my co-workers lost their jobs, so there was no way I was going to depend on a job, even if it would've been great to live there on a U.S. salary. Surely enough, the company I was with got acquired by another California company and everybody in Texas lost their jobs. When I lost mine, there were about 6 people left. | |

I have a friend who just went to the philipines for a wife.. A sweet bideable woman who knows he wears the pants.. That's what it's really all about. WE American women are considered to be toooooooooooo strong in our opinions and our needs.. We just plain wont put the frilly dress and apron on and say "anything you want master"..
We are too independent, we don't do everything our husbands tell us to, we say the word NO.. bad bad mean old American women.... | |

| Too independent????
Posted: 5/13/2007 3:14:06 PM | | No, that's not what it's about. It's about being told our opinions, and desires don't matter. I hear women complain all the time about 'there are no good men' out there. But they don't want good men. They want great, or perfect men; and, of course, they're not willing to make any concessions to be what a guy would want. It's pretty much 'take me as I am', and if we don't, then we're 'no good'. Real women have curves has become 'real women are obese, have bad hair, wear unattractive clothing, are loud and obnoxious, and men had better get used to it because we're not going to change'. Guys are told we're 'shallow' if we have any preferences at all about who we date, yet it seems many of the women we meet have no trouble demanding that we provide a nice car or transportation, chivalry, and a 'lovely dating experience', and of course pay for it all. I know not every woman is like this (I have a few online friends on POF who are quite nice, but also quite far away); but unfortunately there are a lot out there that are. | |

Posted: 5/13/2007 3:47:20 PM | Oh boy. I think that the whole idea behind the mail order thing is to find someone that is happy to be with you.
American women are independent, not a problem. American women are often not happy with a man, or at least the one that they are with; even if they are, it wears off over time.
I want a woman that is happy and happy with me; a woman that will be happy with me years down the road.
Most overseas women are not drowning in media, they do not find idealistic problems with their man. But I would rather go to their country. From the stories that I hear about, women that come to the United States, within a few years, end up getting caught up in the media drama. i.e. Anything on TV. After that few years, their man is no longer Man enough.
I am sure that this is, or would be, the same for mail order husbands. | |

>This is actually an interesting question.
>I live here in the south of New Zealand, in a town called Queenstown. It is a bit of a tourist trap, not somewhere I would like to settle down for the long haul.
>I do a great deal of studying, my primary life-long passion being astrology. I sometimes sit in quiet little cafes overlooking the town as I read my books and make copious notes. From my thumbnail sketches, I have noticed - especially in the last three or four years - a massive increase in the number of New Zealand white males hooking up with Asian women.
>I see at least 50 couples a day like this, walking along the pavement - the woman from Japan or Malaysia or the Philippines or what have you, and the man, white, usually tall, for some reason, plain looking, reaching down to hold her hand.
>What I have noticed, too, is that: (a) there is often a lack of animated conversation between the man and the woman, with the man dragging his Asian partner along like a dog on a rope, (b) the man isn't exactly bursting with the joys of spring at his 'catch', (c) the woman is usually on the tiny side, built like a stick, flat-chested, pigeon-toed, not exactly a curvaceous Diana Dors type, and (d) as Missy pointed out, I have never seen an Asian man with a white woman in all this time.
>Whether it is a case of mail order or whether Caucasian men are becoming disillusioned with Caucasian women, with their new-found agendas, their 'independence', their lists of 'must-haves', and other demands, I cannot say for sure. Western women today, in my opinion, are losing something - a certain je ne sais quoi, a gentleness and femininity once so prevalent, especially seen in the Victorian and Edwardian periods. In those days gentlemen bowed to ladies and ladies curtseyed to gentlemen; a lady never would visit a gentleman's house unescorted; and in-your-face violent pornography was virtually unheard of. Now even young children have free reign to such soul-destroying material on the Internet at home. (Read the illuminating and profoundly erudite book Like Lambs to the Slaughter, by Johanna Michaelsen, and you will discover just how vulnerable and exposed our young children are to the growing menace of not only pornography but other social evils and Trojan horses.)
>Something is going wrong, in my opinion. We, as a civilisation, are losing our innocence, our graciousness, our delicate human interaction and ability to empathise with the other fellow's lot in life. We have become brutal in our dealings with others, fiercely competitive, with knife-point aggression in our bid to 'make the grade', to become successful. And in our strivings for more 'stuff' we have lost more than we have gained.
>The increase of Caucasian men hooking up with Asian women is, I think, indicative of the fear and the alarm Western men feel deep inside as their masculinity is challenged at every turn, with many courts, for example, giving mothers automatic rights over their children, leaving the father bewildered, isolated, arranging fragmentary visits whenever the time allows. Weekend fathers are not only on the rise but are becoming the norm in so many Western countries.
>New Zealand, for example, has one of the highest rates of children without fathers in the home in the world. One child in three here grows up without a father.
>I say good luck to the man with his Asian bride, but I personally would never go down that road. I prefer the Diana Dors type, the curvaceous Western woman, with the elegant walk, the feminine dress.
>The curry-garlic-and-rickshaw syndrome is not my cup of tea.
>Blessings to all of you. - Soulful Union (Peter)  | |

It's not that their man is no longer man enough and it's because after being here in the states that these women finally found freedom and the nerve to speak their minds and not put up with their mans crap | |
