During the later 1800's some men around here would get "mail order"brides,this area was remote and the chance of meeting someone new slim.the best looking cousins tend to get grabbed up first :lol:


I'll bet their mail-order wives didn't have too many expectations about running up credit card bills on mall purchases in Arkansas.

I wonder what the incentive was for women back then? Was rural Arkansas something of a paradise, compared to the places from whence they came?

If the man had a large portion of land that would be attractive to someone who is landless.Most of America was pretty rural then,I'm sure lonely farmers from all over the states looked for mail order brides.You couldn't leave your farm unattended to go look.

Interestingly

http://www.rosebrides.com/american-brides.html

there are quite a lot of American ladies looking to become mail-order brides.

Maybe some of them are looking for a chance to move to rural Arkansas?

I guess these days, most people who are spouse-hunting are doing so on the internet.

.Now you have even more options to meet ladies,you won't even have to go to the mall.But we do have a better climate than you.You have probably already had a hard freeze.Think of it this way,we have a longer bikini season. :lol: All the women up your way are now in bulky figure hiding coats.Its just sweater weather here.

Well, our ladies should certainly be up for getting a piece of the action. No reason to lie down and give up in the face of competition from Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia.

Our women might as well be getting free plane tickets, too.

Seems like an inexpensive way to see the world.You could have several eligible suitors in all the places you have always wanted to visit.And they may buy you dinner and drinks.
Why don't the men who want the Mall brides just go to the country villages themselves to meet the girls?Maybe give the girl's parents a dowry offer for her,at least her family would get helped out instead of a marriage broker.

Referring to the article above, Singaporeans used to do that, but the Vietnamese government has been getting really tough.

Malaysia Chronicle wrote:
...In the early days, matches were made mainly by taking the men to Vietnam for "viewings", he says. Up to eight men in each group would travel to villages in Vietnam, where the women would line up, dressed to charm. There, the men would select their brides and even have a wedding reception. Vows would be exchanged for $12,888 package that included air tickets, a health check-up for the bride, the matchmaker's overheads and payment to middlemen.

....But greater enforcement of immigration laws in Vietnam have made such trips risky. Says Mr Toh: "The Vietnamese authorities consider these 'viewings' as human trafficking and arrest those who conduct them." His Vietnamese brother-in-law was nabbed in 2009 and convicted for taking two men on a matchmaking trip to a village near Ho Chi Minh City. He is currently serving an eight-year jail term.

Now, Mr Toh flies the girls here on social visit passes, valid for two to four weeks. They stay with his family in a four-room flat in the Chai Chee area. In the day, the girls meet prospective husbands. Some choose to sit in his office - the size of a two-room flat - hoping the man of their dreams will stride in....

The Civilazation of Maxwell Bright is a film about an American misogynist that gets a mail order bride from Asia.The actor is very convincing as the worst as*hole ever.

Even then, at least in the USA, I think that there was greater interest between Black Men and White Women than between Black Women and White Men.

I can't help but think that any otherwise reasonable man that would not give a black beauty a proper chance, is a bit insane.
