While not perfect, if you are giving careful consideration to meeting an Eastern European woman online you ought to read this book.
By Bernie L. Malonson
If you look online, you will find more and more dating web sites featuring Russian and Eastern European women. The internet sites will tell you that there are thousands of classy, sophisticated, educated, finelooking women waiting to be found and for only a few dollars a letter, she may be yours.
Well as with most thing in life, the truth and the merchandising are not the same.
The original thing you need to understand when reading Ms. Johnson’s book is that she is an academic and the book appears to be written if not for an academic audience, then at least so as to be likeable to them.
This may be distracting, as here analysis many times interrupts the flow of the stories like 21 year old Olga whose mother is pushing for her to find a foreigner, enterpriser Vera who helps women take glamour photos and write the key phrases in their letter that will attract alien men, or couple Anastasia and John.
The oddest story for me was that of Robert, whose mother pretends to be him and picks a wife for him online. When he goes to meet her he proposes right away in the airport and she accepts. Great stuff for the movies a little odd in real life.
You may get beyond the hype and realize that these are real people with hopes, dreams and fears caught up in challenging situations and their reasons and desires for escaping them vary from woman to woman.
A quick read and well worthwhile.
Cheers!

Dreaming of Mail-Order Husband
By J. Foster
The stories written are said to be from real girls, but as with most of the books written on this, the author still gives her own biased opinion, using the experiences of others.
Yes, it is okay, but these persons writing these stories are so twisted in their own realities. Those of us that take the risk, spend the money, attempting to find happiness, end up being the fodder for the Elite class to sit around their lunch or dinner tables and rain scorn upon the middle-class or the peasants.
The feudal system has returned to America. Congradulations to Erika and those she tries to impress at the country club. I hope their views may someday come from within themselves.
