Like many guys I know, Ive always been very skeptical of the whole Russian mail order bride idea.
There seem to be many possible pitfalls. For instance, the woman might just show interest to get you to marry her just so she can get to America and then she might run away immediately. Or even if you seem to meet a nice girl online, and you email her, how do you know it's really her?
However, I read an article in some magazine a few months ago about a new industry of tourist companies that actually organize week-long visits to Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, etc. Under this plan, you pay for 1-week or 2-weeks lodging and they guarantee a "party" every night where you meet 20-30 girls looking for American husband. And then if you like one, and she likes you, you can go on a date while you're ther, to get to know her better.
To me, this sounds like a pretty good idea.
Anyone know anyone who has been on one of these tours?
