No joking! I found some web sites that are owned by matchmakers or marriage brokers importing beautiful Hungarian women to marry American men.
The idea makes me personally uncomfortable because I think that a woman is a long way from home when she comes to the United States for the purpose of marrying a man she may not have spent enough time with to make such a decision. And if it is citizenship she's after this may be a very high price. Also I have met women and men who entered into this kind of arrangement of other nationalities here in the United States and what is telling is that a year after the person becomes a citizen (7 years?) they usually get a divorce. During that time both have been off the market - theoretically.
And what about men who just can't seem to enjoy an American woman? Usually they say that American women are just too liberated or not feminine enough, something like that. But as a woman it makes me wonder because many of these same men are not in position to marry a woman who doesn't also have a job or career and some of them seem to resent the traditional male role.
But with Internet, web cams, e-mail, videos, and not to mention world travel what it is, perhaps in some or even many cases the couple do get to know each other well enough to make such a decision.
What do you think?
