Action Sammy’s Dating Tips: Western Men and Foreign Brides

An internet search on the number of marital agencies specializing in introductions between western men and foreign women, particularly women of Latin America, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, and again, particularly women of the former Soviet Union, will turn up well over a thousand sites. This is just online. There are perhaps thousands more that aren’t listed online.

Almost daily, more new agencies list their businesses online with more personal profiles of foreign women seeking western men. Additionally, there are many agencies, such Adult Friend Finder, which do not exclusively specialize in foreign introductions but welcome membership from all countries. The numbers of are hard to really track given so many marital agencies but a smart estimate will place the number of foreign women seeking western men at anywhere from five to ten million, even taking in consideration that many of them are members of more than one agency.

Among Asian countries, women from China and the Philippines make up the majority of women seeking western men although there are also a significant number of women from Thailand as well. Among Latin American women, most women seeking foreign husbands are from Columbia. There are also many women in Central America seeking foreign husbands. In Eastern Europe, Russian women make up the bulk of all women seeking marriage to foreign men while Ukrainian women follow a very close second. Most of the women from all of these countries favor men from North America and Western Europe but many do not really have a preference.

Men from the U.S., Canada and Australia who are seeking women from abroad tend to be most interested in women from either Latin America or Asia although many are starting to shift their interest to women of the former Soviet Union. Men from Western Europe who are actively seeking wives from abroad tend to prefer women from the former Soviet Union.

The internet has only made it far easier for western men and other men living in financially prosperous countries to seek foreign wives but the trend is anything but modern. The concept of marrying a person from a far off land is almost as old as the institution of marriage itself.
