You also don't consider that the foreign woman could have been raped or molested, but isn't going to tell those details to anyone.

Why would you see it though...abusive men are usually pretty crafty about what they do, until the woman finally calls the police.

The mail order bride can't do that though, because then she can't get her visa.

Outliers always exist. I'm speaking on an aggregate level.

HPV obviously isn't the only cause though, and neither is aging. So you'd be taking a chance that the woman was being truthful.

Really how would you know the mail order bride hadn't already given birth at some point?

Just as you wouldn't know if the American bride hasn't given birth and given up the baby for adoption or aborted many times.

I mean, we can play this game all day long.

I'm curious if this would be a business, what would be the protections for a woman whose family might encourage her to do something like this for some perceived financial benefit. You talked about an interview process, but you are only going to make money if you have a lot of women lined up. So there's be an incentive to allow marginal people through the system on both sides.

We certainly could. I think that the mail order bride thing is trying to project an image that might not be truthful. Buyer beware I suppose.

Think of the type of guy who has to do mail order bride, and the type of woman that is doing it and you have your answer.

Summer can bash Americans all he wants, but in the end.. he's defending the people who are bottom of the barrel.

...and the American woman who's in her mid to late 30's might be desperate to find a mate to procreate with. She'll tell her date exactly what he wants to hear. She's protecting an image as his appropriate mate.
