Not sure about your motivations, but this process of looking for a wife is not about convenience if we are looking outside our own "realm". Especially so for those of us who do not have the advantage of living in Europe already. A trip to a girl is not a small endeavor and cannot be done on just a weekend. Have to invest at least 7-10 days of time. Two years ago, I met a sweet girl on this site, we became close and I went to visit her for two weeks, then paid for her visa to the US and her ticket. Later paid for a second longer trip, not to mention excursions, presents, etc. The relationship did not work out, she decided that she did not want to live with me in the US. Was it a waste of money? Of time? Was it convenient? It was part of the process and this process takes a committment. I am not looking for an escort, I don;t need to pay to have a girlfriend. I am looking for my second half.
