Oh snap!

I sent this guy 10000 bucks and I got this woman in the mail, but I was pissed-off because I thought it included the shipping and that was another 537 bucks!

(next time I'll specify a smaller woman so the shipping is cheaper)

I'm not really sure what to think about this post. I suppose all I have to say really is just because someone found the person they are going to marry through a dating site, it doesn't mean they don't love them. We are all human beings, it doesn't matter what country we come from, we all have to wait through this horrid visa process.

I hope you really didn't miss my joke.

Amyone who goes through this process knows how sad and pathetic its is when people refer to our loved one as a "mail order bride". I used to get mad at people who did that, now I just laugh at them because they're so fracking stoopid.

Sorry. I didn't mean your post, I meant the whole topic! I was laughing about your joke Guess I should have been more specific.

What's that mean then?

I'mma say this....I don't care where your SO is from, but I do find it gross when someone talks about a whole nation of women/men as if they are all the same. There's no 'the US woman is....' 'the *insert nationality here* man is.....' and anyone who buys into that is kinda promoting a gross and abnormal *hi Sarah!* lie.

Love the one you're with cos of the qualities he/she posesses...and there's no need in the same breath to put another nationality of women/men down because of it. 'oh American women are all ugly so...' yah, ok And your SO is special on his/her own merits, not 'the UK man is great with children' if YOUR partner is great, it's cos s/he's great...not cos where he/she was born that those traits are automatically assumed.

We've all seen it here, so don't act like it's never said. And I'd be pretty outraged too, to read 'the Russian woman KNOWS she is the weaker gender' In fact, Russia-American couples should be outraged at that statment, not the post. Actually, is there ONE of you here who would defend such a statement?

I say balls.

And I also say, we should try not to attack each other!

I don't think anyone in MENA used a dating website, or maybe just a small percentage. From what I have seen most people just met in chatrooms and language forums. Some even met on vacation.

I was actually just getting to the fact that we could add some drama to this thead if you need it.

well MY TAKE on it from her post was based on the premise of the foreign wife being 'aware that they are the weaker gender' which you wouldn't assume such an imbalance of 'power' with a foreign man

Again, only giving my 1.58
