The answer is very simple and yet most of us don't do it and end up spending far more than we need to. HAVE A PLAN AND STICK TO IT..
Begin your quest with an open mind.
Ignore the ridiculous articles which abound on the internet about "rip-off Russians" - "Asians desperate to get to the West" It is clear that these articles are written by people who have no experience of what they are saying.
I just read an article which said that less than 2% of Western/Asian marriages are successful....
Excuse me???
The true facts (available to anyone) are that the USA divorce rate is above 50% and the Western/Asian part of that is less than 20% .. so these 'foreign' marriages are in fact more than twice as successful as 'ordinary' marriages.
The same person states that 3 out of 4 women have serious emotional problems..really?? (I guess I know who has the problems..)
Before deciding where to search, have a wide ranging look around. Read articles on women from various countries. Browse the photos and profiles in a number of Agencies and Personals lists. Read what the women say; study who they are looking for.
For example you will find some Asian women of 18-25 years are seeking men from 45 - 55 years, while most Russian women want a man no more than 10 years her senior and so on.
Make sure you are being realistic when you start seeking your new bride. This will save you time and money.
If you are 55 years old and send 100 letters to Russian women in their 20's you will get very few replies..money wasted.
Having decided where to target your search it is wise to again spend time browsing the ads on various sites...check the prices and make a plan.
You really have three options.
1. Pay around $100 to join an agency which has mostly postal addresses. You will then need to spend around $50 on postage. The advantage is that these women will not have had so many responses. Write your letters carefully using the formula on page two of this article.
2. Reply to a large number of ads on personals lists like Excite or Friendfinder. Remember the more 'attractive' girls will have many, many replies. especially those who post a photo.
Remember here that the girls on the 'free' lists will have huge numbers of replies while on pay sites like Friendfinder the numbers will be less but still numerous. You will need to write replies which really grab the interest of the advertiser. BE INTERESTED IN HER!!!
3. Unless your letter writing is pretty good you are better off to join a matchmaking service and let them do all the work. You can expect to pay from $100 to $1,500 to find your soulmate this way.
The way to save money is to choose one method only...and stick with it until you succeed. Remember you can definately succeed with any of the above.
