ii think it can work for the ppl you have already mentioned, but it can also fail horribly.
besides, there are several sub-catagories of mail order brides. the first is obviously the one we are discussing, where liked minded ppl arrange to be together (the thought is still so alien to me) without first having known each other.
the second and probably least known is "passport" or "visa" marriages, where foreign women actually pay the male (mostly american and euro) to gain legal entrance into the country. the going rate is usually between 5-15,000! the couple is legally married,
but the female is usually allowed to do whatever she wants, date other ppl, go to school, seek a carreer, etc, until she finds whatever she needs to stay in the country, whitch usually means marriage to another man, at whitch point, the couple divorces so she can marry again! weird huh? one of my asian friends from taiwan was telling me about it, she said she heard some horror stories about men threatening to divorce the woman if she wasnt a devout "sex slave" while they were in each others company. a bad business deal.
then theres the mail-order sex partner. we all know about that one.
anyways, i prefer japanese girls. not because their submissive (many are not) or want a family, or hold traditional values like their parents. im simply more attracted to them.
they could be as domineering, career oriented, asertive, whatever, doesnt bother me, in fact, i say more power to them. there arent many asians where i live, but there is no way in hell i would marry someone id never spent time with. i mean, what if the sex thing just felt awkward or just wasnt good, what would you do then?
the true meaning of "your screwed" comes to light, hahahahahaha
