Every day on the Internet there seem to be more and more dating sites.
Invariably young women.
From many different parts of the world, though Asia and Eastern Europe figure prominently.
In the developed world the adverts are aimed internally within the country concerned, I do not know how many electronic dating agencies I have seen in Germany where finding an "élite" partner seems to be the objective for example.
But internationally, the advertisers come from mainly less developed countries where potential husbands may not offer much - economically. There are possible exceptions - South Korea for example, you would imagine being fairly prosperous.
But why would a woman from the Ukraine or the Philippines, for example, hope to find someone like this? Even ruling out the scam sites, and saying these people are genuine?
How can dating like this really work?
You spend a lot of time communicating by email, possibly the odd telephone call, and then ....
It is a long way to go to meet someone, or for someone to come and meet you.
And then you would want to spend your entire life with them, live, eat, sleep, make love usw with them? Even being touched by a total stranger sounds a little bit on the naive side to me.
How do you know they are genuine, never mind special, fascinating, caring, interested - you name it?
And would you realise that this is extremely risky at times, and you might find yourself far away from home where nobody can help you?
There must be better ways to resolve your lifestyle choices, I would have thought. In a world where scams and scammers abound (and the Internet is very fertile ground for such people), an extremely important choice like this should not be thrown to the electronic wolves.
