A Czech matchmaking site, if you will, offers its Czech women up to date, marry and take home to your native country.
Just like that poor stray dog you saw at the side of the road that needed rescuing. Or the Chia-Pet that you thought would look fabulous in your kitchen window box.
The site advertises that Czech women have a “high level of culture,” are “NON-feminist,” and have a “good level of English both spoken and written.”
Well, hell. At least the men frequenting this site — or at the very least, the men who designed the site — are interested in communicating with their potential mates, at any rate. That’s a big step up from mail-order brides of the past, I guess.
This kind of stuff bugs the crap out of me. From what I’m aware of, there are no “Meet North American Women!” websites floating around out there for potential suitors to choose from as if they’re picking out Yankee Candles — no free coupons allowed. Czech women, generally, are no different than women of any other country; nor are Italian women, Russian women or African women. How are these kinds of sites even in business these days?
Aah, mail-order brides. In 2010. Still.
A business venture worthy of a stupid man who only dates certain ethnic types? A brilliant move by a smooth woman who knows what she wants out of life and will do everything she can in order to attain it?
What’s the appeal here, for both parties? Is there one?

Ever been to Czech Republic, Sarah? Those people are fucking monuments to human beauty. Women are spectacular, men just make your head turn. Your average Czech is tall, fair skinned, blond-haired with grey eyes. I know if I were to find a husband on one of those sites, I would go for a Czech one.
As for being non-feminists, I doubt it. But, you know, like we say in Spain – you can find everything in the Lord’s grapevine. A woman who declares herself non-feminist in the traditional way is probably looking for a traditional man, who incidentally is the kind of person you or me would not want to date. So, hey, each to their own. I know I won’t be dating any man who buys an Internet bride, and I know he won’t be dating me either :)
Its a way to get someone to bring you to the states,and a chance for some dude to nail a Czech. Its a win win!
Meh, some old rich guys with no social skills tend to get desperate.
My friends and I were talking about this site because we saw an ad on ESPN (which is owned by Disney).
I’m fairly sure that most “mail-order-bride” situations are either human trafficking or just one step shy of human trafficking. There is something much bigger and much more scary going on here than simply non-feminist men and women.
The appeal for the women? I’m super suspicious that the women don’t know what they’re signing up for. The appeal is either entry into the US probably thinking that she has to work as a housekeeper or the like. The site is just horrific with idea that not only will she provide the man with unlimited sex, she will do unlimited housework and be his personal secretary (ie, buy a sex slave). Or she’s been kidnapped or coerced into this against her will.
I cannot back up this suspicion with anything other than the knowledge that this does happen and the circumstances sound similar.
A stereotypical ball-busting, man-hating, hairy pitted feminist does not make good wife material. I’m not surprised that a dating website would proudly proclaim that their women are not feminists, particularly since the type of men looking at this type of website are generally looking for a woman who is happy to service home and husband. Stereotypes aside, there aren’t many people who would describe themselves as feminists who would go for this kind of set up.
Yeah, good points. Still, there’s something just…off…..about the whole thing.
This reminds me of my old man ex-tenant who told me that the BEST IDEA EVER that his friend had actually done and had made him SUPER HAPPY with all his dreams come true, was to go to Vietnam and give a community $30 000, which not only benefits the community, but enables you to choose a wife from the daughters of the community. Then you take this 18 or 19 year old home and for a few more payments over the years you not only get to KEEP helping the community, but you get a devoted wife who will have as many children as you can father! Everybody wins!
I asked politely if the young girl may not actually miss her family, but he assured me she would not, as she would feel so honoured to be helping her community and sacrificing herself. besides, she would get used to it. (‘it’ presumably being a nearly 60 year old squinty, skinny Canadian.)I asked if she may not like the chance to fall in love on her own time and he said “oh, Buddy said Vietnamese don’t fall in love. So it doesn’t really matter who they are with.”
I would like to say I hit him with a shovel and buried him in the backyard, but I was pregnant at the time so I just stored it up to tell my therapist about later.
Are you kidding? You totally could have killed him and blamed it on the pregnancy hormones!
and deprived some poor Vietnamese teenager of the chance to fulfil the apex of her life’s dream? I’m not that harsh!
I still think the majority of these girls are just looking for a ticket over here. It is probably much easier to get citizenship papers too,whether your just engaged or have a reason to be here.
They’d still need to wait several years to get citizenship but marrying a citizen is by far the easiest way to get it.

Sometimes life in some countries can be really hard, and it may seem like the only way out is to find a man who will marry you, with money, and then, despite you not loving him or whatever, at least you’ll have food on your plate, in exchange of being the way that man wants you to be. Im sure there are plenty of different situations and plenty of other reasons.
Im going to be judgmental here but men that would do this are pathetic excuses for human beings, if they want women to be their slaves, well we’re not 50 years ago! Though sadly, this horrible inequality still exists in many countries.
@ lady goo goo, your story made me very sad, beautifully told though!
Thank you, I like to channel hatred into prose.

Guys, women and girls are, sad to say, the major commercial exort of the Czech Republic– it’s also a prime sex tourism destination.
