The description "mail order bride" is very misleading, conjuring up images of women being bought like cattle and sent by Fed Ex to their predatory future husbands of whom they know nothing. The truth is very different and far less sinister, as you will see if you read our reviews and check out any of the sites we have listed below. The brides do not travel by post either!
The following websites provide an opportunity for eligible bachelors from Western countries to meet beautiful, intelligent women from Russia, the Ukraine as well as other Eastern European and Asian countries, such as Thailand and the Philipines. Economic hardships in many of these countries, such as Russia, Latvia, Belarus and the Ukraine, mean that men are often without work and without pay. As a result many men turn to alcoholism as a means of escape and are unable to support a wife and family. The mortality rates among men in these countries are consequently much higher than in Western countries, which is partly responsible for the women vastly outnumbering the men in many of these places. For example, it is estimated that the women in Russia outnumber the men by about 10 million (with approximately 66 million men and 76 million women living in Russia). As a result, many of these women have begun to look outside their own country for the love, happiness, security and the sense of fulfilment that only a loving husband can provide. You don't have to be rich to attract any of these women, as long as you're kind and gentle and looking for a serious relationship. Eastern European and Russian women are also well known for their faithfulness, their femininity and their beauty. Just follow our links to some of the sites listed below and check out some of the stunningly attractive women that are just waiting for you to make contact with them!
Established in 1974 as a photo personals magazine, CherryBlossoms.com is the longest running foreign bride service in the world. CherryBlossoms.com, or simply Blossoms.com as it is known these days, has now been running for well over 30 years, and in that time it has been responsible for over 100,000 marriages! The site is filled with genuine profiles of beautiful women all over the world and has many of the same features you would expect from a traditional dating site. Membership is free...
Anastasia-International.com is without a doubt one of the most impressive sites we've come across in this category. It has a feature-packed search facility, allowing you to search by many different attributes (see above for a full list). We particularly liked the ability to search by proficiency in English, as a common language really is the foundation to a relationship - if you can communicate with one another without an interpreter then you're at least off to a great start! The keyword search is also a great added feature that you would normally only find on some of our top-ranking mainstream dating sites.
AnastasiaWeb.com is another name for Anastasia-International.com, but has been added to this list because it receives almost as much traffic as Anastasia-International. With offices in both the United States and Moscow, Anastasia-International is well worth checking out if you're looking for a foreign bride, particularly one from Russia or the former Soviet block. . Check out the full review for Anastasia-International.com above.
ElenasModels.com prides itself on providing women with model-like looks and figures, and having signed-up and extensively browsed the site, we can tell you that they're not kidding about this! If you've browsed sites similar to this before, then you'll probably agree that Eastern European and Russian women are among the most beautiful in the world, but some of the women on Elenas Models give new definition to the word "beauty". Just follow our links to ElenasModels.com and see for yourself!
LoveMe.com, or A Foreign Affair as it is also known, is a very impressive foreign bride website and is extremely popular with those who are looking for foreign tours to visit their prospective brides. LoveMe.com has a wealth of tours available to choose from, together with a vast amount of information to help you get the most from those tours.

Established in 1992, A Pretty Woman is a website that promises just that - pretty women - and lots of them, all from Russia and the Ukraine. According to their website, APrettyWoman.com receives about 200 applications from Russian/Ukranian women each week who wish to appear on their site, however the staff at APrettyWoman.com only select about 30 of the most beautiful, sincere and intelligent of these women to advertise on their site, thus ensuring that you only have the best to choose from! As such, APrettyWoman.com places great emphasis on the quality of their women...
My Foreign Bride is a relative newcomer on the foreign bride scene, having only been established in 2003, yet it has already amassed an impressive 70,000 profiles (though this includes male and female members - the total number of female members is not disclosed). MyForeignBride.com is not like most other mail order bride sites, instead it is much more like a traditional dating site with many of the features you would expect from a dating site...
RussianEuro.com is pretty much the same as MyForeignBride.com. Both are powered by CupidMedia, and as such, both have exactly the same members' database and the same set of features - it is really only the design of the site that differs, and even that only differs slightly. As such, you will find that the text of our review for RussianEuro.com is much the same as our review for MyForeignBride.com. However you may be interested to know that RussianEuro.com is by far the more popular of the two sites.
Scanna.com is another long-standing website in the field of international dating and mail order bride services, having been established back in 1980. As such it has built up a certain reputation and is now a popular website amongst those looking for Eastern brides and is thus well worth mentioning here. The site is professionally designed and easy to navigate, and contains many stunningly attractive women from all over the world...
Bride.ru is another popular mail order bride site that receives a lot of traffic. It's jam packed with women and has one of the largest databases of women on any mail order bride site we've come across - so if you've failed to find success with any of the beautiful women on any of the other sites listed in this category, why not try your luck with Bride.ru. Unfortunately Bride.ru offers very little in the way of advanced features and has an extremely primitive search engine.
