Are they a viable option for guys who are fed up with the dating scene in the west? All the major mail order bride companies seem like scams designed to part lonely men with their money. I personally wouldn't go that route unless I had no other options

That's because they are scams lol. There are some that could be legitimate for sure but you are basically going to be connecting with a woman who is looking to use you as a one way ticket to the west and ultimately a life of comfort and luxury. I don't know about you, but that's not something that I would want to attract into my life. I'd especially be wary if you were a white man doing this. It would be a bit different if you were Indian and meeting an Indian woman or whatever ethnic group that you'll find this in (Latino, African, Asian, etc.), though a lot of times this will be something like an arranged marriage, meeting through family connections, etc.

This reminds me of this super cringey video I watched a while back, and there are countless other examples you can easily find on youtube lol.

I personally wouldn't resort to mail order brides unless it was my only option left. If I'm in my early 30s and in the same situation as I am now I may consider it but I would really have to watch for scams

I guess it's an option for those attracted to asian women, but I personally am not attracted to them. But like I said I wouldn't resort to mail order brides unless I've exhausted all other options. If I do go that route I'd look for women from like Rumania or something

I've crossed paths with a couple men that did something similar to this, if I remember correctly the women were from the Philippines. One of them I know had a child with the overseas wife, so I'm not saying it's impossible. He was short and not a particularly attractive guy so it kind of made sense why he gave that a shot, he really had nothing to lose. I'm glad it worked out for him but I think it's one of those things that if not done correctly could result in a lot of wasted time, money, etc.

Yeah it seems like it's a huge risk in all actuality

I think you're better off actually going to Eastern Europe and picking up your own choice of woman than going through a 'mail bride service'.

There used to be a few forums out there that discussed this topic in detail. Mainly dealt with Russia/Ukraine/Belarus women. Most of the men that went thru with it spent time visiting their girls country. They also learned the girls native language. The successful relationships were with women that had only decent looks. Marriage was part of the deal. Also it was expected to fly back to visit her family once a year.

Seems like a lot of work to me.
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

Why wait until you are in early 30s? Its already clear you dont have options. The younger you travel the better it is before maturity and losing your youthful sense of adventure begins fading. You should capitalize on your appetite of risk.

This exactly. However, if you are not reasonably attractive and have a decent income, you will be eaten alive just as bad or worse as you would in the U.S. @BergischerLöwe What line of work do you do? If you have the credentials to get a traveling job, just do that. It does not even have to be global travel, any situation where you are being introduced to a new group of women is going to yield similar opportunities. Going to places where the number of English speakers is low will not help you much at all, unless you become fluent in the native language of the region.

How should I actually go about going to eastern europe to meet women? What all would I need to do?
Get a passport and an airplane ticket, book a cheap hotel and check out the capital cities like Budapest, Prague, Bucharest, et cetera. Even if you don't pick up any women, you'll become an experienced traveler, which to many women is attractive in its own right.

There are plenty of easy to enter careers that guarantee travel. You can actually get a commercial license and become a commercial truck driver for free, if you sign a contract with a freight company. Becoming a Welder is another option. My welder friend has been all over the place. There are also numerous other traveling trade jobs like pipeline fitting and instrumentation. Some companies will even pay for your tuition to get certified in some fields. The financial aid department of your local community college or trade school can set you in the right direction for doing this fast and cheap.

One of my friends did a program like this and made decent money driving all over the country. Beware of "lot lizzards" though.

How would I go about approaching european women? I would imagine one has to be more subtle since small talk isn't something europeans engage in as much. Then again I can't even bring myself to approach any women rn lol

Idk if I'd want to become a truck driver but I'd be open to learning a trade
