I am a pretty tall girl of Czech descent and I happen to be available . Will that do?

But seriously, I think that there is probably a very small percentage of women who end up with a loving marriage out of this. I would wager the vast majority of them are not. The reason is because I think the type of guy (typically) who would use a service like this wouldn't make the greatest husband. Can't get a girl, is fine with buying a woman and probably wants someone who will do whatever he says. That is quite stereotypical and judgemental of me for which I am sorry. But it's the first thought that comes to mind.

I am sure there are exceptions to this rule (if it even is a rule, it's not like I've polled guys who went the mail order bride route!).

In general I can't get behind anything where a person is a comodity to be bought and sold. With all of the progress we've made, women in the world (more in some parts than others) are second-class citizens. Violence and rape of women is still shrugged off or even accepted and made excuses for.

So, if a guy like you chose to go that route, I would say as long as the woman chose it out of free will then happy for you both. But in general I think it stinks.

(Sorry if I am coming across angry. Lingering break-up bad vibes.)
