[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Up until 10 years ago it made sense for a lot of classy educated beautiful women from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics to marry into the west.  Now, not so much.  The economies have developed and they have much easier access to foreign countries through visas.   There are still opportunities for 40 year old guys to marry well particularly if they are willing to marry someone who already has a child/divorced.  But anyone older than that will have a lot more trouble.  Single beautiful women in those countries have a lot of options.   There are plenty of men.   However,  men age and die much more quickly due to alcoholism and other issues so there is definitely a gender imbalance over age 50.  Not so much at younger ages.[/quote]

'Their economies have developed'
-says who?

Let's see , which of these eastern European countries have flourishing economies ? Not Russia,  not Ukraine,  not Bielorussia .most European countries not part of the eruppean union have terrible economies .[/quote]

They are good enough to have a comfortable life, especially in urban centers.  I mean SOMEONE is keeping afloat the mortgage market in Moscow and St. Petersburg.  SOMEONE is keeping vacation operators in Turkey, Egypt and Italy in business.  [/quote]

Give me a break !! With the exception of a few politically connected people in Moscow,  the rest of the Russians are toiling away in poverty . Before the arrival of Russians, who use to keep vacation operators in Turkey, Egypt and Italy in business ? Here's the truth ; those countries were already hotbeds of tourism while the Russian were singing the praising of the Communist leader [i] du jour.[/quote]

I wouldn’t call these young pretty women who seek exit from that reality “mail order” brides. They are indeed in most cases fluent in English, have in-demand college degrees (on top of being very attractive). It’s basically “brain drain” out of these countries, it’s just women have more choices vs men how  to flee and get access to new economic opportunities. I know several from my exH circle in DC area: he worked for WB/IFC. His US friends married exceptionally attractive women from Eastern Europe. All the wives quickly adopted and work. I’m some cases, out-earned husbands in 10 years or so.
Yes, these women were poor in terms of assets when they got married, but they had very expensive (by US standards) education. IT, engineering, doctors, lawyers, biotech etc. Once they confirm  these degrees in the US, it’s the same deal for a husband as marrying a Yale graduate. Except he gets a very good looking wife with parents abroad without any “luggage” and of child bearing age. This is a major “step up” for upper middle class American husbands vs their selection in the US. They basically marry up to a higher social class from a poorer country vs their own social circle in the US. Many women I know are well traveled, play expensive sports like tennis, swimming, skiing,  horse riding, play  musical instruments etc. This type of upbringing is very cheap in Russia but expensive and only available to a few in the US. They can socialize with 
executive level friends or colleagues of their husbands rising his social standing and international connections. [/quote]

These women wouldn’t be making so much money, had they stayed in Russia. And you don’t seem to realize that Russia is massive and 90% of its population lives in poverty. It’s a wild jungle for women over 25 out there. And I am saying this as someone who is from a Russian speaking country. [/quote]
