Mail Order Bride

My weird friend Dustin wants a wife. It’s really just about all he talks about. I have tried to talk him out of it so many times but I guess it is just that important to him. So rather than continuing to tell him that he is an idiot I have decided to try and help the bastard ruin his life. Apparently, he wants a Japanese woman. Do any of you guys know where one can "order" a Japanese woman? companies, or websites? I have a feeling that once I get some info for him and make a few phone calls he will change his mind. Maybe some of you guys have horror stories to tell about someone you know that did this? I could relate those stories to my friend.

I thank you for your time.

I wish you'd have said sooner, he could have had mine. The divorce cost me a small fortune.

Japan?
Saying that they've probably been out-sourced to China, lower quality but much cheaper!

There is the three "F" theory, if it Flies, Floats or ? it is cheaper to rent.
I don't say this to my wife. I am still alive.

It might just be me, but I second the Japan answer for finding a Japanese wife.

Yoko? Not really my thing.

Isn't Japan already facing a low birthrate and declining population? Not exactly the attributes of a country that exports its women.

Now Russia and China...bad economies, rampant corruption and overpopulation. Although don't men outnumber women in China?

Slak, if your friend is serious (and you are about helping him), you should make him read up on the horror stories many cross-cultural, overseas courtships become even before marriage, let alone the bureaucratic nightmare of getting a bride to the US on a fiance visa. The wait is more than a year, even from civilized places like Japan. He's much better off finding an Asian lady here, who doesn't need a Green Card, knows our way of life, is employed or immediately employable, etc. My own fiance is from China, came here on a student visa (literally won a lotto to get that), converted it to an H1 when she got a good job after she graduated, which she's had for a year and a half, is about to marry me and we're still looking at a nightmare for immigration stuff right after the wedding. My own experience with my Japanese friends, the ones who just work here, but have no interest in staying here permanently, is that they are the nicest people in the world, but just impossible to ever get to really know. The language and culture is so opposite ours. I can't imagine a serious relationship with a Japanese woman who's never lived in the US is gonna be easy. Having been to China a few times and being about as familiar with that culture as an American can be, there are still huge cultural and language issues to overcome. If your buddy just has a fetish, try www.asiafriendfinder.com or Match.com. He'll have dates immediately.

Chinese men outnumber women there by 119 to every 100. It's bad. Yet, China has millions of women who want to marry western men. A dear female friend of mine, who's 24 yrs. old and highly educated, well off, etc., was just denied a tourist visa to come to the US because the the consular officer thought she might have intentions to stay. This, despite my inviation letter and after she put thousands of dollars in escrow with our embassy and has been to Europe a few times and always come home. I imagine fiance visas are a real PITA too.

Read this....

The Internet has become full of web sites promising to help you find singles, perform online matchmaking services and yes, even provide you with a Japanese mail order bride. Not all web sites promoting themselves as mail order bride services work specifically in this arena, some also provide personals services and online-matchmaking beyond just being set up to broker international marriages.

Most of these web sites will also provide information on how these services work, and how you can marry your very own foreign Japanese mail order bride. Any time you are dealing with issues crossing international lines there are a lot of issues that must be looked at, and this is no different.

With the advent of the World Wide Web, it became much easier for communication to take place between men seeking brides and the brides whom they seek. You can see them, talk with them, chat with them, meet them in person before deciding whether or not to marry. This is certainly a vast improvement over older systems, where little if anything at all was known by either party about their prospective spouse prior to their first meeting in person with plans to marry.

Some web sites have a “bride mail” system which sends you information about new women who join their service every week. Some find this a useful service. It provides you with new listings either as they come in or as a weekly update in your e-mail inbox.

One issue that has come up in recent years for residents of the United State in the world of the Japanese mail order bride is that of the IMBRA passed in 2005 under President George W. Bush. IMBRA stands for International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. In an effort to cut down on domestic abuse among mail-order brides, the Act requires that prospective men must give complete information on their criminal and marital backgrounds, as well as have a criminal record check and sex offender check done on them, this information must then be translated into the language of the prospective bride. This allows her to go over the information and decide whether or not she wishes to go ahead with any prospective marriage.

There have been some challenges made to the IMBRA in the 2 years since the Act was passed, however the Act remains. The Supreme Court considers it a similar issue to regulations requiring persons to have a criminal background check run before they are allowed to purchase a firearm, as both are for-profit institutions.


There are numerous web sites on the Internet that continue to advertise many a Japanese mail order bride. There are also mail-order brides from many other countries around the world, such as China, Russia, the Ukraine, just to name a few. While the Japanese mail-order bride is by far the most famous, she is not the only mail-order bride to be found.
