Interesting. I do this but for westerners looking for women in Ukraine, as an American myself. Didn't realize the market potential here and I am probably selling myself very short.

What does a mail-order-bride service have in common with high powered D.C. folks dating, other than both sound creepy? Are you really inserting a plug for your services? ..or if I'm wrong and you're not just hawking your wares.. Can you share any insights beyond TFA based on your experience in the space?

  Mail order bride, from Ukraine, doesn't really exist anymore due to immigration laws. There is almost no way to bring someone to the USA (most of my clients). The process is lengthy even if someone is willing to travel to Ukraine, meet the person, and live here while processing a marriage and visa. This appeals to digital nomads greatly who also have problems in the dating market. I used to do it as a charity project, and still mostly do, but I think I should start charging in light of learning this exists in D.C. As for insights, I would say men are getting extremely desperate in the dating market and the current products like Tinder exacerbate the problem for the majority of guys who receive almost no matches. There is also not a single legitimate online dating website in Ukraine. They are all pay per message and filled with fake or automated profiles. They are staffed from office buildings by people paid to pretend to be the girl, or now more so just done as small outsourced work. I also do agree it's viewed as creepy to go looking for a girlfriend or wife using a service, and that's probably a stigma that needs re-evaluated in today's more global dating atmosphere.
