You all know me. The name is McMenace. I join this website some 60 odd days ago for two reasons: One, to find an eligible bachelorete, and two, to find a few back ups. Here's what I think is going on:
Ukraine is a country of origin for girls, who are lured abroad with promises similar to yours, but once there, their passports are taken from them and they are forced into prostitution (see PBS Frontline's "Sex Slaves"); and as such, these girls are terrified of travelling abroad. Most of these websites, marriage agencies and related businesses feed on a fantasy. You pay $50 a month for memberships, $150 ride from and another $150 to airport, $50 a day for furnished apartment; all this to learn that girl saw you only one day of your elaborate intercontinental trip.
