What Services Are Right For Me In My Search For A Foreign Bride?

If you are working with a full service Introduction Agency there will be a host of services available in your search for someone special. How is one to choose the specific service or services that will help in reaching ones goal? Just because a company happens to offer a large number of services doesn't necessarily mean that they are all going to be right for you to use under all circumstances. This article will detail some of the services available, and discuss the pros and cons of each service and when it is appropriate to use.

Writing letters: Letters are a great starting point and can be a very important and effective part of the entire process. It's always nice to have some communication with at least one or two women prior to actually going over to meet face to face. Who doesn't enjoy receiving letters in his mailbox or via E-mail from beautiful women who may be interested in a serious relationship? One problem is that some men become too dependent on the letter writing process, placing too much emphasis on it. I have seen cases where the men thought they were in great relationships based on the correspondence, when they finally met the relationship quickly turned for the worse because there was just no physical chemistry. I have also seen the reverse, where the two meet and the chemistry is great and before you know it they are engaged. Chemistry is something you simply cannot measure until you meet in person, no matter how many letters are involved.

Another problem with the letter writing process is that some men may only send off one or two letters and if they do not receive a reply they feel that the whole system is flawed. If you are going to write letters it is important that you follow the letter writing tips, give yourself a chance by writing to enough women, and do not react too emotionally, no matter what kind of response you receive.

Unfortunately, you must also beware of the fraud issue when writing letters. If you are meeting face to face there is less of a chance of fraud (although still possible), however with the letter writing process you really do not know who you are dealing with. Our service is much better than others in that we do not accept electronically submitted profiles; we must have them by regular mail. We are also very responsive to any complaints concerning any of the profiles, so there is much less of a chance of problems, but you still need to be careful.

If you follow the common sense rules under some good advice, and the letter writing tips, the letter writing process can be very effective and very rewarding. However, letter writing is only a small part of the overall process of finding a foreign bride.

Express Mail:

In this age of instant gratification the speed of correspondence is very important. As stated in previous newsletters that is one of the main factors for an increase in fraud. The simple fact is that most of these women who are very sincere do not have regular access to E-mail. If you want to communicate with them you really do still have to use regular mail. Some of the women on our site may have access to some kind of E-mail, and if that is the case we will give that out, but the majority do not. If you want to expedite your letter the Express Mail Service is a good option. It is only an option; you can send out the letter yourself and wait the 10 to 14 days for it to get there. When you think about it, you are looking for someone to spend the rest of your life with, so 10 to 14 days should not really be that significant. However, the Express Mail Service is a good way to cut that down to 3 to 4 days, and she can use it in reverse to mail back to you quickly. You may want to send a few of your letters to the women you are very interested in by the Express Service and the others by regular mail. There is something to be said about receiving an envelope in your mailbox, with a photo or two from a beautiful foreign woman!

Men's Reverse Publication:

This is a great tool for those of you who are just starting out and really do not have any preferences for which city or even country the woman of your dreams comes from. This publication will go out to all the new women coming on our site every month, as well as being distributed at our social events and offices. What is nice about the Men's Publication is the women get to see your photo and read about you and then write letters to you (free of charge) if they are interested. This way you know that the women writing are interested and that can save quite a bit of time. The only draw back of the Men's Publication is that you will receive letters from women from different cities and even different countries. It is somewhat of a shotgun approach, which is great for those starting out. However, if you decided that you want to go to a particular city like St. Petersburg, Russia, then you may be better off writing letters to women whom you are interested in, than advertising yourself in the Men's Publication.

Three-Way Calling:

The translator-assisted phone call can be a great way to make "instant contact' with someone you are especially interested in. Most of the women on the service do have phone numbers. We leave it up to the women to actually give them out for a number of reasons. First of all it gives the women some control over the process. Many men will not take the considerable time differences into account when calling. The women may also be subject to obscene phone calls. Many of these women live with extended families and it is simply not fair to them or their family members to give out their phone numbers. However, the translator assisted call is a way that the men can still quickly make contact with the woman or women they are interested in without compromising the woman's privacy. If, during the call the woman is comfortable with giving her number out and a translator is not needed, the man is free to call back directly.

This is a very good service to make a quick initial contact, and then follow up with a more detailed letter.

Gift Service:

There are certain things that tend to be universal about women, and receiving flowers or other gifts is one of those things. Sending gifts can be a very powerful tool and one that will normally make you stand out from the crowd. There are things that you need to be careful about when using the Gift Service since there are different customs observed in the various counties we service. Please read the information on the gift site prior to sending your order.

Independent Tours

Although we operate offices on a year round basis in all of our tour cities, we do not recommend going over by yourself to simply meet one or two women you have been corresponding with. Going over individually is not as effective as going with a group tour. Individual tour clients will normally spend close to, if not more, than what group tour clients will spend, but only meet a tiny fraction of the women that group tour clients will meet. However, if you must go over individually please try to at least schedule it at the same time of a group tour so if you find yourself in need of services such as Socials, you can get them. If that is not possible then make sure you have the contact numbers for the office in the particular city you are traveling too so they can assist you if the need arises.

Group Romance Tours

Joining a Group Romance tour is the single most powerful thing you can do to achieve your goal of finding that one special woman. The tours are very efficient and effective. We have touched on this subject of Group Tours and how to benefit from them in previous newsletters so I will not repeat that info here. (If you missed that newsletter you can view it here)

Discounted Long Distance Services

If you are going to get involved in the International Introduction arena you will, at some point, need an affordable long distance program. The good news is that there are a ton of good options available, the bad news is it could take you hours to wade through all the different programs. You can try by starting with this link which will take you to a site that will give you a number of good programs, they have proven to be a very reputable supplier. Be sure that if you are going to purchase pre-paid plans that you will use what you purchase! Also keep in mind that not all services are equal when it comes to quality. It may be a great price but you may never be able to get through, so you really have to shop around and test a few different programs.

Language Programs

Communication is important in any relationship. Most full service sites will offer Foreign Language Classes (tapes, CD's, and books) and or Electronic Translators. In the case of language classes, be sure that you will have enough time to follow through with the classes that you are purchasing. Even a cursory knowledge of her language will go a long way, but don't expect to be fluent in just a few short weeks!

The Electronic Translators can be a great tool. Be sure you pick the one that will suit your needs with regards to number of words, type of languages offered, and whether or not you want it to pronounce the words for you.

As you can see there are many services available to someone who is serious about finding a foreign bride. Most men will use a combination of these services in order to reach their goal.

Across the Orient, elegant traditional costumes like the blue dress worn by the lady at right are de rigueur for any formal affair.  Every woman who can possibly afford it owns at least one such outfit, in the style that is characteristic of her particular culture.


If such a woman were eventually to become your bride, one of her gifts to you would be to dress this way, on special occasions, to please you and make you feel proud of her.  One of your gifts to her would be to create many such opportunities for her to enjoy with you.


Imagine the heads your lady would turn, and the tremendous pride you would take in having her walk by your side.


Such considerations, by themselves, do not constitute grounds for marriage, but they can be among the potential rewards of a well-founded multicultural partnership.

International Introduction Service Q & A

Foreign Courtship Advice and Recommendations From the Editors of A Distant Light™



Q: I'd prefer to meet a woman immediately than to first correspond with her at length.  Wouldn't that be the more effective approach? 


A: The answer depends upon what you hope to accomplish. 


For men whose objective is simply to get away for a well-deserved vacation, one of our Romance Tours could be the travel adventure of a lifetime, with abundant opportunities for dating attractive (often stunningly attractive) single women who genuinely desire to meet them.  AFA takes care of all the details, and clients can enjoy meeting new friends almost immediately. 


For those whose purpose is to identify and meet potential life partners, however, there is no substitute for adequate preparation.  Clients who lack the necessary patience to establish and develop meaningful relationships before rushing to meet the prospective foreign brides might succeed in finding suitable partners within the context of a Romance Tour, but it shouldn't require a rocket scientist to calculate that their chances of connecting with the right one among hundreds of available women will be substantially limited. 


The interests of men who are disinclined to correspond might be better served by local dating agencies than by an international introductions agency such as A Distant Light™



Q: Why write to several prospective foreign brides at one time?  Wouldn't that just diffuse my efforts, and risk offending all of them? 


A: You can more objectively evaluate the suitability of potential partners, and be less reluctant to downplay any relationships that fail to show promise, if you have a variety of available alternatives. 


Besides, experience has shown that even very well written letters of introduction to single foreign women seeking marriage can be expected to elicit favorable responses in only about 50 percent of instances.  Typical letters to women looking for husbands might draw favorable responses in only 30 to 40 percent of instances.  Although the prospective foreign brides are eager to find life partners, generally they are not desperate.  (If they were desperate, you shouldn't want them!)  Rather, they will be as careful about selecting their partners as you should be.  Some rejections are therefore to be expected, and shouldn't be taken personally because the women don't know you personally. 


Also, about half of the women who initially are receptive may decide, after further evaluation, to continue their searches. 


So, if you were to approach, say, a dozen prospective foreign brides, you might realistically expect to be able to choose, eventually, among two or perhaps three of them.  (Remember, though, that this is based on statistical data, from which your individual experience may differ.) 


Generally speaking, you'll do better to maintain a balanced perspective and improve your chances of success by beginning, on a casual basis, with as many prospective foreign brides as you can comfortably manage, and progressively narrowing the field as relationships develop.  The women shouldn't object to this reasonable approach if you are honest with them, you respect their feelings and they understand that your intention is to find the most suitable partner, which, after all, is in the best interests of everyone.

"Love is eternal.  The aspect may change, but not the essence.  There is the same difference in a person, before and after he is in love, as there is in an unlighted lamp and one that is burning.  The lamp was there and was a good lamp, but now it is shedding light, too – and that is its real function."

Compact Jazz: Astrud Gilberto  (Verve)
Hear Astrud Gilberto's music now, at Amazon.com!

    This popular American singer and songwriter of German and Brazilian descent is admired by generations of music lovers everywhere.  Her name is practically synonymous with the bossa nova style of her native Brazil, and her endearing voice can be one of the most seductive on the planet. 
    Yet, there is more to be said of this remarkable woman, of which you may have been unaware.  She is also a talented graphic artist.  Through sales of the reproductions and prints of her original artworks (which can make unforgettable gifts, especially when signed by the artist herself), she supports efforts to protect animals from mistreatment. 
    Please see the charming (if, at times, necessarily intense) Web pages that have been created, with love, by this profoundly beautiful human being, 

–––––––—Ms. Astrud Gilberto—–––––––


[The Editors of A Distant Light™ are privileged to express our appreciation of Ms. Gilberto and her work.  Ms. Gilberto is not a participant in our service.]
