What is the truth about mail order brides?

Written by admin on . Posted in Marriage

Clarendon asked:

Overview: Mail order brides are women from foreign countries who advertise themselves for the purpose of getting married to a person who is a citizen of a developed country, like the United States of America. There are more than 200 different services through which a young mail order bride can find her foreign husband. If a foreign woman wants to find her groom in the U.S.A, she must register in a reliable agency, which in turn will list her in a catalog. Mail order brides should provide information like their names, photos, biographical sketches, and addresses via paper application or through internet. The agencies will provide photos and description of mail order brides for free of cost. But, if a man would like to have their mail address, he must pay a fee ranging from two to five dollars.

Another means of finding an offshore spouse is through emails. More than 10,000 foreign women have registered in authentic sites. When compared with mail order brides, email brides are well educated. They are usually PhD holders, professionals, or doctors, who want to live and work in the U.S.A. Finding an offshore spouse via email has gained immense popularity these days.

It has been estimated that every year 100,000 to 150,000 women from different countries advertise for marriages. Mail order brides or email brides are usually from countries like Russia, Brazil, China, Philippines, Thailand, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Honduras, and Cuba.

Why do U.S. citizens prefer mail order brides?

1. Broad range of options to select your life partner

2. Chances to meet well-educated foreign brides online

3. Exposure to diversified lifestyle in terms of culture, tradition, appearance, and much more

Approximately, 4,000 to 6,000 marriages between U.S. men and foreign brides have been reported. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states that marriages arranged through emails have a higher success rate.

Although finding a young mail order bride has various advantages, you should also be careful about fraudulent websites. Some sites will take your money and will not provide you with information on email brides. In order to avoid alleged marriage fraud, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has made the naturalization process more secured. To reduce the abuse of mail order brides and to regulate for-profit dating websites and agencies, the U.S. Government has passed the “International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005″ (IMBRA).

Japanese Mail Order Brides – Rare Jewels

Written by admin on . Posted in Law

Bob Miles asked:

The Internet woods are thick with mail order brides from Russia, China, and the Philippines as well as dozens of third world countries. Nevertheless many men prefer Japanese women they are thought to make the best wives in the world. But now that Japan is a developed nation, however, are mail order brides still available from Japan?

Well, yes – but not nearly in as great a number as before. Ironically, the entire mail order bride phenomenon started out decades ago with Japanese-American men would write to their families back home asking help in finding a Japanese bride (in fact, arranged marriages are not at all uncommon in Japan even today). The man’s parents would find a candidate and the two would marry despite barely knowing each other – they might even meet for the first time at the wedding. The practice of arranged marriages – marrying a bride you barely know, chosen by your parents – was the rule rather than the exception in Japan until recently. Since at that time the US was far richer than Japan, Japanese-Americans could easily find a bride from the Old Country – to marry for economic reasons only was thought quite normal. Due to the Western romantic tradition, this practice struck most Americans as rather strange, and the term “mail order bride” came into being.

These days quite a few American men are looking for a “mail order bride” from another country. There are a number of reasons for this. Although Japan is now a developed country, there are still quite a few of Japanese women promoting themselves as mail order brides on the Internet. One advantage of Japan being a developed country is that Japanese women are far less likely than women from third world nations to marry only for economic reasons – that’s right, you’re may have to win her heart before she will marry you! But hey, that should be a good sign.

The Western stereotype of Japanese women as submissive handmaidens is not necessarily true anymore, and that applies double to mail order brides. Because of the relatively low status of women in Japanese society, a lot of Japanese women seek to marry Western men because they believe them to be less authoritarian than Japanese men. Yeah, it’s also true that “traditional” Japanese women are more submissive. But traditional women rarely marry foreign men – after all, marrying a foreigner (and living overseas) is not a particularly traditional thing to do. Nevertheless, after living in Japan for several years, I speak from experience when I say that Japanese women are by and large quite caring and considerate (and some of them are LOTS of fun!). If you are looking for a foreign bride, in my opinion Japanese women are your best bet.

Empower Your Networking With the 3 Easy Laws of Prospecting

Written by admin on . Posted in Networking

Russ McNeil asked:

Your first step to success is recognizing the three laws of prospecting:

 

1st Law of Prospecting

The list of people who don’t know you is infinitely larger than the list of people who do know you.

 

2nd Law of Prospecting

People who don’t know you will take you more seriously than the ones who do know you.

 

3rd Law of Prospecting

Some of the people we pass in everyday life would be hugely successful in our business, but unless we prospect them, we’ll never know which ones they are.

 

Let’s take a closer look at these three laws of prospecting. First, once you form the habit of prospecting strangers, you will never run out of prospects. This law gives you a major advantage in building your network marketing business. After all, people are turning 18 faster than you have time to talk with them. This gives you a major advantage in building your business – a nearly limitless list of potential prospects.

 

Many reps will often get better results talking to strangers than to people they already know. Why? Ironically, you have more credibility with strangers than with your friends and family. The second law of prospecting spells this out. Besides, if you don’t start meeting new people, what will you do when you get to the end of the list of people you already know?

 

Third, we pass people every day who are prime candidates for our network marketing opportunities. Unfortunately, that is exactly what most reps do – pass them by. Starting up a conversation with someone you don’t know can be daunting. How do you begin? Is there a magic formula of what to say?

 

Prospecting vs. Recruiting

 

Prospecting is a vital aspect of building a network marketing team. Keep in mind, though, that it is only part of the process. Prospecting is the process of approaching someone you do not know and using conversation to determine if he or she has an interest in exploring your opportunity. In contrast, recruiting is the process of sharing the details of your opportunity with the intent of enrolling them as a rep on your team.

 

 

Asking Magic Questions

What in the world is a “magic” question? A magic question is the capstone of a prospecting conversation. Magic questions determine whether the prospect wants to learn about your network marketing opportunity. A few examples of magic questions are: Are you making all the money you can stand? Do you ever feel you’re worth more than you’re getting paid? An effective magic question makes it hard for the prospect to say “No,” and easy to say, “Yes!”

 

Catching the Prospecting Moment

A prospecting moment is the point in a conversation that represents the optimum time for you to ask your magic question. The goal of the prospecting conversation is to create a fertile verbal environment in which the prospecting moment can occur naturally and within the available timeframe. Once you have mastered the principles of prospecting, you will orchestrate prospecting conversations at will.

 

Signed, Sealed, and Delivered

With practice, the entire process of asking the magic question and having the prospecting conversation at just the right moment will transpire naturally. The prospect will never even realize what’s happened. You will be an artist, and every conversation will be your canvas. Use the three laws of prospecting to bring success to your networking marketing business.
