I understand and respect your reasoning but I think you confuse rights with common sense. Also not one person that I have read has said anything about their family and friends. Do you believe that the parents of the girl are going to stand at the airport and wave their daughter off to meet with a stranger in a foreign country happy and not have any worries? Do you think it is right that the parents should have to suffer such worries? Would it not be better for everyone if the man came first meet the family(if the girl chooses to introduce him) and then go to him as a visitor or as a bride safe in the knowledge that her parents know that she will be taken care of. We all hear stories of where a girl is tricked or kidnapped into the sex industry. Every country has this problem none are immune from it. This why I say and will continue to say safety first and no man is worth putting your safety at risk. My final point on this. Just about every girls profile I have read on here states "They search for the serious man". I can think of no better way to find out if a man is serious. If he is he will travel if he not he won't.
