Asian Mail order Brides by CNN featuring Heart of Asia

Mail order Brides no longer exist.  Maybe it was true two hundred years ago, but not true today.  Despite this reality, feminists and the media like to label women who meet men from different countries for serious relationships and marriage as  "Mail Order Brides". The term is wrong. Women who seek husbands across the world, are exactly the same as women who seek husbands across the street. If a woman is prepared to seek a good man outside her own country she is a  smart shopper, availing herself of millions of choices. She is definitely not a Mail Order Bride

A few weeks ago I got a phone call from Veronica De La Cruz, a rising starlet and news anchor at CNN.  She asked me to allow her camera crew to visit to interview me about international dating and to share our successful cases with her.  I spent about 30 minutes speaking about the benefits of international dating, how it is a Win - Win for both the man and the woman.  I spoke how long distance romance is not easy, but it provides men and women who don't find their ideal partners near home, the chance to find partners from a whole wide world of eligible singles.

It would have been nice if the 30 minutes I gave her giving facts and figures and details of successful cases ended up as more than a few seconds on air.  And it would of been nice if even one of the many successful couples we introduced to CNN would have been interviewed as well. Unfortunately CNN had already decided to slant their story following the feminist agenda which brands women who seek husbands as victims, as Mail Order Brides, and brands men who seek traditional wifes as predators.

The good bits of the film clip are that you see our simple office, and hear first hand a little bit about my online dating philosphy. You also see a Filipina woman in process of a divorce.  We don't learn why the divorce is happening, but we see a woman who is strong, resiliant, hard working, good humored, and loyal. She keeps her estranged husbands photos on the wall, and says she will take him back if he will love her. Sounds to me like her husband is a fool, and she is a good example of the kind of superb traditional life partner waiting to be found.

I strongly believe using the internet to widen your search beyond the borders of your own country is a Win - Win for both men and women. It gives you the chance to search a wider pool of prospective mates than you could hope to meet otherwise. I traveled around the world (before the Internet) and found the perfect woman for me. I think with luck and patience and using your desktop computer you may find your perfect mate as well.

Emails about the CNN feature 

Hello: I seen you on the CNN news report and it was great that you were there to say some nice things about the international dating process, they seem to just want to talk about the bad things, I feel really happy to have seen you both on the report its nice to put a face with the web site I used to find my wife, yes thats right I said I found my future wife on your web site service, Thank You for having this web site, and all you offer, I plan to go to the Phils in the next couple of months and we hope to be married early next year, we only wish it did not take so long for the visa, 6 to 9 months the way I understand the process,,,I will be using the service on your web site to help me file the papers for her visa, there is so much negative things people say about dating in the international area, but you know I say its the same chance you take if you date someone from the USA, you never know whats going to happen, it does not matter were the person is from, it matters whats in their heart, and the way you compared the differance in the people from other country\'s to people from the USA is all true, I also notice that the women from the Phils mostly seem to be very humble and do not feel as if the world lives for them and its hard to find a women from the USA that way.  Wish you all the best...

That is a shame CNN slanted the interview.  I am so satisfied with your site and my future wife I can not thank you enough.

Today I discovered your web site because of, interestingly enough, the CNN story. I thought the CNN story was a little bit too biased toward the situations where things do not work out well for the non-American woman marrying an American man. Its too bad that CNN didn't pay any attention to the success stories but intelligent people also realize that CNN needs to make money by using tactics such as hysteria, fear, uncertainty, doubt, and tabloidism (if CNN is unsuccessful in doing so, then people won't watch and they will lose advertising dollars). Anyway, I was happy to have found your site today. I'm an American man never married (almost five years ago) and have met mostly .....

The CNN report takes some excerpts from a web page visible at Heart of Asia (Classic)  There I speak about why I personally recommend Asian women.   Below is the full text, with the sections CNN excerpted, highlighed in white.  
Copied from http://www.heart-of-asia.com/gen/whyasia.html
Remember the old Gilette razor commercial? "The razor worked so well, I bought the company". Well in this case my love life and marriage worked so well, I decided to start Heart of Asia to help other men find their life partners from overseas and especially from Asia.

Just because I really like Asian women does not imply anything wrong with other women, just as telling you I like Rocky Road ice cream, does NOT imply a problem with Chocolate, Vanila or Stawberry. Heart of Asia accepts women from all nations and cultures and we have heard good things about most. The following points are simply my personal opinions about Asian Women based upon my personal experience.  I wrote the text shown below about 10 years ago.  Looking at my wonderful wife and family after 15 years of marriage, I believe these sentiments are just as true today as when I originally wrote them.

Why I recommend Asian Women

I believe that if you seek an upstanding, gentle woman; one who shares your beliefs and who values tradition, home, family, and fidelity you have an excellent chance to find her at Heart of Asia. I am an American and previously lived in Asia for 13 years. There, I finally found the woman I wanted to marry, a lovely Chinese lady from Hong Kong. I have lived happily with her for 15 years and counting. We have two handsome sons and a beautiful daughter. I have been blessed.

Before I found my mate and settled down, I had ample opportunity to date and compare women from Asia versus the West. I'm not bragging. It's just that I'd been out there a long time and even if I had wanted to date western women, it was hard to find any. In my work, I had the chance to travel and to live in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines, China and Malaysia. At one time or another I've dated women from all of these countries. The more exposure I had to women from Asia, the more I learned to understand and to appreciate them. On my return visits to the States, I clearly noticed the differences between the Asian women whose company I had enjoyed compared to the women back home. These are my opinions based on my personal experience.

Women from Asia are charming. They are petite, soft, and gentle. It is such a pleasure to spend time with a woman who is charming and derives pleasure just from talking and listening to what you have to say.

Women from Asia are feminine. They are normally Petite and slender with delicate bone structure. They typically have smooth, silky, hairless skin.

Women from Asia are gentle. They don't bust your chops, when you are home a little late, or forget a anniverary. They let you know if they are unhappy with your behavior, but it is typically done in warm, friendly way so that arguments and hard feelings are generally avoided.

Women from Asia appreciate a gentleman. These women do not scold you, and call you a male chauvinist when you hold open a door for them. They appreciate politeness and thank you for it.

Women from Asia appreciate the way western men treat their women. Asian men have bad track records for the way they treat their women. They expect their women to serve them, to carry the heavy bags, to walk behind, to take orders from him, his son, and his mother. Western men, especially American men have very good reputations. We are world famous for treating women with respect and consideration. These traits are very appealing to any women who receives your letters.

Women from Asia value marriage. They do not believe in divorce. They marry for life. They believe in finding the right man and sticking by him, in good times and bad.

Women from Asia value family. Family is all important. Husband, children, parents, relatives come first. Husband and children never take second place to her career.

Women from Asia value tradition. If you have traditional values and like to do things the way they have been done before, your ways and beliefs are accepted and appreciated, not criticized.

Women from Asia value maturity. If you are older than your woman, that's not a problem, it's a plus. Asian women respect maturity. It signifies wisdom, stability, experience and gentleness.

The best way to form your opinion is through first-hand experience. Choose some of these ladies to write to. Make your contact, get to know them. Then, tell me your experiences and why you agree that these women are the most desirable partners a man could choose.



Re: Spousal Abuse

Feminists love to accuse men who seek traditional wifes as predators and potential abusers. The facts are quite the opposite. In USA the major causes of spousal abuse are immaturity, finances, and substance abuse. Looking at the men who have been clients of Heart of Asia, the majority are in their late 30's and up, have good education and are financially secure. The causes of abuse are not relevant to this group. In fact USCIS studies show that averagel American marriages may see 11 % cases of spousal abuse, whereas the marriages that USCIS studied which the feminists label as "mail order bride" marriages only show 1% spousal abuse.  

After serving over 50,000 members over 11 years, Heart of Asia has received NO reports of domestic abuse from our clients.
Studies commissioned by and published at USCIS conclude that marriages between American men and foreign women have far higher success rates compared to American to American marriages.  The studies statistics show (3 times less divorce, and 11 times less cases of domestic abuse) compared to US national averages. 

Facts and figures were ignored by CNN in favor of more sensationalistic content..
