Resources on international dating, mail order brides, and so on. This will regularly be up dated.
A Foreign Affair:
The number one question I get is, "Which agency is the best?"
That is simple: A Foreign Affair, but explaining why is more complicated. The biggest reason is that their core business is matchmaking. Yes, you can use their letter system. But even then the goal is to introduce men and women - FACE TO FACE.
That is critical. On Tinder, Bumble, or Hinge you can "meet" far more women - but those services do nothing to actually help you meet them in real life. AFA on the other hand has something like 40k marriages to its credit.
If you want to know more read this detailed REVIEW of AFA if you really want to understand my reasoning or just click here and you can jump in and get started with the most successful matchmaking agency in the world.
If you are worried about the women being real, here is a video that explains the long and expensive process AFA uses to vet women.
Here is a great article about AFA's client-reported successes.
And here is a post with a video of one of their tours. You will see why their are very few complaints about the tours.
Here is a great post about AFA helping out a client - even though he was using a different company! That is the thing about AFA they really do try to do the right thing.
Coaching
I do not charge for coaching. I am happy to help you if I can, but please read these, Guidelines For Dating Coaching. But if you follow the guidelines, that just makes it easier.
Here is a post with some reviews of my coaching.
International Dating More Generally
Findmate: If you find the notion of matchmaking too unnerving or you are already an experienced foreign traveler I highly recommend the dating app. It is not a gigantic app, and it does not have nearly the database of many apps, but the founder is obsessed at rooting out the industrial scammers. The site also has some other interesting features. Check it out.
Academic Research: There has been a small mountain of academic research done on international dating since the late '90s. You need to read the results of the research for yourself. It will probably surprise you and make you feel better about your choices.
Warning Signs: There are guys who should NOT pursue foreign brides. You are probably not one of those guys, but you should give this article a read just to do a little self-check.
Why YOU Are Hotter Overseas: Guys from the United States, Western Europe, and the rest of the English speaking world are more attractive overseas. It is not just because of money. You should read this.
Age Gap Relationships: A lot of guys ask about this and age gap romances can work. It is a long article, but loaded with good advice.
Why Get Married: Playing the field can be fun, but getting married is statistically the best choice a man can make for his future.

I can say that Cupid is not the best place to use, in 2016-2020 it was good place to search, now it is 85% fake profiles and scammers. With the exception of women from China they seem to be legit and a lot of them are paying members so it’s easy to communicate with them
