Choosing an International Marriage Agency (Mail Order Bride
Service)
It is unfortunate that when you venture outside of the United
States for love that you need to be extra careful with the women
you court and the dating services you use. The prevalence of
dishonesty, fraud, and neglectful service from international
marriage agencies is very high. These guidelines will help you
select a marriage agency (mail order bride service) with
integrity and capability.
Are The Women Profiled Real? Do not use an international
marriage agency strictly based on the number of beautiful women
profiled on the website. Any agency that has a high percentage
of beautiful women should be suspect. Beautiful women are
naturally rare and the most sought out women are beautiful. So
it would only make sense that the most attractive women would
have the highest turnover in a marriage agency. The best looking
women will find a man sooner because they have more suitors and
in turn they will be more difficult for a marriage agency to
replace because there are fewer beautiful women available. To
work around this, it is a common practice for foreign marriage
agencies to show beautiful women as unattached regardless if
they are married or with boyfriend. Two other common practices
to inflate the beauty and number of women in an agency is the
theft of photos from other marriage and model agencies websites,
and illicit arrangements with local photographers for the
purchase of personal photos of women without their consent or
knowledge.
Beautiful women profiled in a marriage agency are meaningless if
they are not available and unfortunately that is often the case.
Many international marriage agencies will do whatever it takes
