International Match-Making: A Successful Service

In the recent years, international match-making has become an extremely successful business.

In Western countries, international match making service offices had provided "customers" with many young ladies from Thailand, the Philippines, India, Rumania and Russia for them to marry. There are a lot of Westerners who ask for Asian ladies as their potential wives-to-be. And there are a rising number of Asian, Russian and East-European girls, who are anxiously looking for a better life, and try their luck by publicly placing a "husband wanted" advertisement in the newspaper.

Mr Ronald Benson from Los Angles says that his company has successfully matched hundred of couples. At the present, there are still thousands of Asian, East European and Russian ladies waiting for an American husband. He also revealed that his company has just organised a meeting in Russia. Three hundred and fifty Russian girls attended the meeting and everyone who registers has to pay a US $48 fee.
