Love Me - Mail Order Brides (documentary)

I’ll see you all in about 4 years when the YouTube algorithm brings us together again to watch a random video at 2am.

I'll tell you a story. I met a Russian girl back in the late 80's, she was a friend of a co-worker who came over when they started letting the Jewish people emigrate. She knew this girl from Moscow and invited her to come on a tourist visa. This girl overstayed her visa, she didn't want to go back. The USSR was falling apart and it wasn't the best of times. Anyway, this girl, she asked if I would marry her so she could get a green card. I said sure, what did I care. Wasn't any skin off my nose. So we went and got married at the court house and together we filed the paperwork for her to get a Green Card. She was living with her girl friend and I was living by myself. I went over to her apartment to have her sign something from Immigration and we drank some wine and somehow we ended up sleeping together. She was working as an au pair, making good money, enough to more than keep her half of the place up. Next thing I know she moved in with me. We'd already been married almost 18 months. It was funny. When she got the Green card I said,' well, that's done, whatcha gonna do?' She just smiled and said, " have some children". Lol! That was 30 years ago. Both kids graduated from college and are working and have left home. But we're still here, kicking it.......

I was going thru the Mail Order Bride Process…I was so excited when she was three days from arriving. It never happened she was shipped to wrong address, Amazon said there was nothing they could do.

best line of the video, 45 yr old heavyset guy writing to 23 yr old model says "it's $10 an email in both directions and I'm starting to worry it's a scam..."

That wedding kiss mercilessly violated my eyes and I fear that as long as I walk this earth, I will never be able to unsee it.

The fact that a man who is less than ordinary looking and extremely obese, really believes that some hot 26 year-old would be passionate about him is indicative of his delusions. I’m speechless.

If you're going to marry a foreign woman, you'd better learn/know her language! Communication is everything.

That gold rose will last as long as the trip to the pawn shop😂😂😂

"I didnt want to have to fend off other women." That was never an option for you, playboy.

“I felt taken advantage of”....goes and Googles Russian mail order brides😂😂😂!

I MET MY WIFE THROUGH THIS COMPANY! WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED AND IN LOVE FOR DECADES. - No one ever

Love knows no boundries. This is so sweet in a human trafficy sort of way.

heads up, at 18:49 when the cleaner says you look nice, she is the one you should be looking for, closer to your age, hardworking, friendly. She isnt 26 and a model, take a reality check, get naked and stand in front of a mirror, what would a 26 year old want with you? You would have walked past dozens of possible partners, but because they work in shops/hotels you prob dismissed them.

I used to think these foreign dating websites were complete fraudulent rip-offs. Now that I’ve watched this, I’m sure of it.

Eric's kiss is a real sight to behold ...The stuff of nightmares. ''Ive seen things in Eric that Ive never seen before'' says Mom..We have too mom , we have too...

Inna has such a winning smile, but I'd really love to see a follow up documentary now, 10 years later.

I'm from Odessa and I worked for one of such agencies... Remember the guy saying he wrote to 10 girls and they all replied? That's because it's a rule, a message from a man cannot be left unresponded. But in most cases it's not the girl herself replying but someone like me, a "translator" that has several girls to write instead of. The women are mostly there for money because they get paid for messages, chat time, and any presents are converted into money by the agency itself. Even the date, if there is one, is a cash grab and both the girl and the translator get money from like the restaurant that has special menus with higher prices for that. Women will have lied on the website about their age, occupation, family. They'd have children and a husband who knows about this side hustle. I went there trying to do some honest work and there was none... I didn't last long, it is all such a scam.

"It's like dating a woman from the 50's. It's like dating my mom!" That says it all.

I watched this documentary a long time ago and just stumbled upon it again tonight. I find this so sad. These men seem to have such insane standards for the women they think they want and that's why they're single. I don't know if it's something to do with wanting to be like other guys and prove their worth or what, but if they'd just be open to dating a normal, average woman, then maybe a lot of them wouldn't be single.

Lisa Ling did a grea Our America episode on these tours but it was focused in Columbia, there was one man named Dave who was actually a wonderful catch for any woman. He was polite, respectful and was there for all the right reasons He met a woman who was age appropriate and they are happily married now over 15 years.
