Many men who come on the internet looking for FSU girls will not have the necessary income to afford multiple personal visits to FSU to meet the girls or the time to do it ( to get leave from work ) or be able to afford the costs/time involved in going through the "fiance visa system" Thats one of the main reasons why about 4% of men who write to these FSU internet dating/marriage agency girls will do the personal visits. Other reasons are scammers, FSU girls who go on the internet for joke and are not serious, girls that really have no intention to leave the FSU or the letter writing just fizzles out and goes nowhere. In Australia, if you are a tradesman ( plumber,electrician, carpenter etc. ) you might get a salary on average of $60,000 a year before tax is taken out. When you consider, that from Australia, one single personal visit to an FSU country will cost in the vicinity of $15,000 to $20,000, 3 to 4 months of a tradies salary,how many men could really afford it and a tradesman salary is about 30% more than the average wage for Australia. Being a tradie driving a tool box on wheels will not cut it! You are really going to need a six figure salary to be able to afford this FSU bride finding business, $100,000 a year or more and for that you need to be a: 1. Specialist doctor in private practice 2. CEO of a middle to large organisation 3. A lawyer or partner in a good law firm 4. Owner of a medium to large business Over 70% of mens pay packets in Australia are too poor to do this! FOOT NOTE: I fit into the tradesman category of Electrician and do from time to time drive a tool box on wheels to the job!

$15-20k per visit? Are you mad? I know Aussies live on the underbelly of the world, but I find it hard to fathom an Aussie actually paying for anything in the first place. :) I do agree that most guys are dreaming if they think its going to be cheap marrying any FSU girl -- gold-digger or not. You do really need to make good money to realistically support someone who probably may never work a day in her life. It's that hot young girl's dream of the good life. Fortunately, I am young, attractive, single and with no debt and I do make money in the top % percentile or I wouldn't dream of trying this... Can you imagine all the difficulties when your now FSU wife wants the latest fashions and doesn't speak a word of English to be actually be getting any type of job when you bring her home? Think on that one guys... and keep dreaming... PS> I know Nasfan works hard to keep his FSU bride well fed and happy, so I am sure he will counter this thread with his input.

Aussie, is this guy a mate of yours? CANBERRA - An Australian farmer who was kidnapped and beaten in Mali after walking into an internet bride scam has pleaded with people to be careful looking for online love. South Australian farmer Des Gregor, 56, returned to Australia on Sunday night after being held hostage by machete-armed bandits in Africa for 12 days. "I was tied, bound by the legs, and that was only probably for a couple of days because they knew that I was going to co-operate. There was always one bloke sleeping at the door, there was no way out," Gregor told Australian media. Love-struck Gregor arrived in Mali last month to meet his supposed fiancee, Natacha, whom he had "met" on the internet, and collect a dowry of gold bars worth US$100,000 ($135,519). Instead, the wheat and sheep farmer was picked up at the airport in a car and driven to a single bedroom apartment in the capital, Bamako, which was full of armed men. Gregor was told his limbs would be hacked off unless his family in Australia paid a US$100,000 ransom. The scam was only stopped and Gregor freed when Australian and Mali police in turn duped the kidnappers into letting Gregor enter the Canadian embassy in Bamako to collect the ransom. Mali is one of the world's poorest countries, with a prolonged drought hitting the mainly farming and fishing-based economy. Most foreign tourists travel to the country to see the World Heritage-listed trading outpost of Timbuktu. Gregor said he had no inkling before his arrival that he was a victim of a confidence trick and had now learnt his lesson. "I reckon another couple of days and I wouldn't have returned," he said, recounting "a good belting" he received with a machete during his ordeal. Gregor warned others looking for love over the internet to be careful. "Make sure you check everything out 100 per cent," he said. Brother Phil said Des had been "absolutely blinded" by love and did not see the scam coming. "You see this in a movie, you read about it in a book. It happens to someone else, not you. But it does," he said. "I really hope that the message gets out to people that they look after their family and if anyone talks about internet relationships, that they can be open and share the mail with them to get an objective opinion."

OMFG -- typical Aussie -- dreaming of striking it rich. Really? A gold dowry from some young village girl in Africa? The guy should have had his brain removed via machette. It would have been a step up. :)
