Well guys, take note. The comments below from an American woman are another reason why you are looking for a Russian bride, or seeking single foreign women in other countries (as if you needed another reason...;)>>>COMMENT FROM READER:
This is no more than high-end prostitution. Such a shame that men are so simple-minded and shallow that they need a woman to stroke their egos by answering every beck and call without "attitude". {Shame on American women for having opinions and expectations of men...who do we think we are...people, or something?} Just when we believe that, as a society, we have progressed in our perception of male and female equality, sites like these set us back ten-fold. I truly feel for the women who intentionally subject themselves to this situation. I cannot imagine what hardships they must face, to promise themselves to the ignorant (and obviously old and fat ...:-))patrons of your establishment.

>>>MY RESPONSE (Part 1)
It's actually hard to know where to begin. Your comments about Russian brides are almost comical, they are so incredibly unfounded, ludicrous, and uninformed.
But I wanted to respond to your comments here, because this is a good example of misinformation, assumption, and misconception... Not to mention the unbalanced mentality which many western men are actively trying to avoid by seeking a Russian bride, or marriage minded single women from Ukraine or elsewhere in the FSU or Asia.
Let's take a look at some of the things you would like to believe about the Russian bride phenomenon, or what some refer to as "mail order brides".
This is a term, by the way, which is not at all descriptive of the process or the quality ladies looking for a foreign guy in Russia, Ukraine, and eastern Europe. Although it is a misnomer, we use it because many are familiar with it, but know the true situation.
First, you throw out the accusation that the Russian bride phenomenon is nothing more than "high end prostitution". You go on to say:
"Such a shame that men are so simple-minded and shallow that they need a woman to stroke their egos by answering every beck and call without "attitude". {Shame on American women for having opinions and expectations of men...who do we think we are...people, or something?}".
I'm curious, exactly what do you base these comments on, other than what you seem to want to believe?
Obviously, you did not take the time to educate yourself on the subject matter by reading the information on the website or elsewhere, so let me attempt to do that in the following.
I am personally familiar with many men who are in the process of seeking a foreign wife. None that I know of are seeking a submissive Russian bride or Ukrainian woman who will "answer every beck and call without attitude".
And knowing many of these single Russian women, I can assure you they have their own strong opinions and attitiudes. These opinions and attitiudes just don't seem to be derisive and destructive to male-female relationships as in the west.
I recently heard an articulate gentleman voice his desire to find an equal partner in a Russian or Ukrainian bride, but without many of the negatives that go with that in this culture, exemplified by your comments. I'm wondering if your comments are an example of what I have heard some refer to as a "Femi-nazi" view?
And I recently came across this comment in a newsgroup where men discuss their own Russian brides, marriage to Russian women, and single Russian women:
"Opinionated?? YES...very much so. Has no problem telling me what she likes and does not like. Personally this is what I was looking for in a woman and wife. I was not in the market for a woman who would be my slave or
servant or someone who always agreed with me. -----
But I think the funniest thing that has happened since she arrived is that she can't get a good cup of coffee and the American women she has seen are way too fat."
On my recent tour to Ukraine, I had a chance to speak to one man about his Russian fiance, after she spent some time in America. She said she was surprised there weren't 4000 guys on every romance tour to Russia or Ukraine, after seeing what men have to put up with in the dating scene in the US, and yes, she specifically talked about examples of "attitude".
We'll continue with this discussion in the next part of my response.
