mailorder bride things are really disturbing. Clicked on one of them by mistake just the other day. I've known of and know people who have gone abroad and fallen in love. I've also met people who were in an arranged marriage. And that didn't work out. Though the woman seemed lovely. Love is often in the air when people are on vacation or travelling. I'm trying to get my brother to travel and fall in love. He's a good egg. But no. I would not suggest he or anyone else I cared about answer such ads. There is nothing scarier than manipulative people to get back to my original post. And the internet does seem to offer up a host of new opportunities for them to exploit others .....one way or another.
