    Why are there services for men to search for wives in foreign countries, but none for women to search for husbands?

    I believe it is for three reasons: 1) Most American women would be ashamed to have to resort to a mail order service to find a husband – most would think it pathetic. 2) Most men do not want to be in the “one down” position that being a mail order husband would entail. 3) Of the pool of “excess” men (read poor, Third World men) that would comprise the majority of mail order husbands, most neither have the skills needed to find a job here nor the values and attitudes toward women that would make them good husbands for the majority of women here.

    Women will wait for a man. Importing a mate from overseas would mean the woman would have to seek out her mate. Additionally, men are more likely to have the financial resources for such endeavor.

    Another possible reason is that part of the social upheaval of the ’60s engendered a feeling among men that the American woman has become too independent, something that to a traditional-minded man may not be attractive. Another possible reason may be that the ’60s gave more men then ever before the “OK” to resort to mail-order brides, something that prior to then was probably seen as a “loser’s” approach to marriage.

    I’m, 40, single, from India, tall, dark and handsome, and I’m looking for a Caucasian wife. But there is no such service available for me. I know there are countless men like me who are in the same predicament. There is very little opportunity for us to interact with white women. The few tourists who visit our country are too nervous to become friends with strange men, which is understandable under the circumstances. But where does that leave us?
