Before you dive into thinking about online dating, there's something I have to tell you. As the world is getting smaller, so to speak, people who are in search of relationships and marriage are looking further afield to find the perfect 'fit'. Disenchanted with what is available locally, men are now looking to find a woman who is a little different in ethnicity or culture. In fact, they find this rather romantic and as such, Ukrainian dating sites are proliferating.
Dating outside one's racial or ethnic group is becoming more common and men from around the world are flocking to various places to find that perfect woman who will fit into their lifestyle. Oddly enough though, the majority of these women are looking to leave the Ukraine so one must ask the question; 'are they just looking for a way out of the country?'
Online Dating - Let's Take A Look At Some Numbers.
If we take a look at the American model, just a little under fifty percent of the adult population of America is single. With eighty-six single men to every one hundred single women, it is easy to see why women would be using online dating sites more than men. Indeed, at least forty million people in the US use online dating sites so it would seem that both sexes are looking for love the electronic way. This is a staggering forty percent of the adult population as a whole.
Again, taking the American model, it was worked out that only two percent of men found a mate in a bar. These days then, they have to be a little more inventive in finding someone who they can bond with.
For the Ukrainian dating sites, it was found that most women who are listing themselves on such sites come from Odessa. If they don't live there, they stay there for elongated periods to make it easier for would-be spouses to come and visit the country. The websites will also arrange a kind of 'marriage tour' so that men can come and meet several ladies at the same time to see which one he thinks will fit the bill.
When the choice has been made, the companies who run this kind of operation also offer other services, like visa applications and any kind of support to ensure that things go smoothly. Of course, this does smack a little of being a marriage conveyor belt but people do tend to make up their minds rather quickly when they have discovered the woman that they want.
Online Dating - Why Marry A Ukrainian?
Why more and more men are looking to date and marry Ukraine women is no mystery. Women here are really not as strident as those from the so-called Western World and really appreciate family values. They tend to put the man first and they manage to keep that sense of femininity that seems to be lost in many women from Europe and the US.
Many of the women from the Ukraine tend to be extremely well-educated and, since the number of women outweigh the men (55%) it is obvious that here are just not enough of their own men to go round. Since this statistic correlates exactly to men in most Western countries, it is easy to see why they would register in this kind of agency.
Online Dating - They Want To Leave...
Women from the Ukraine tend to want a child at a reasonably young age and then they want to give that child the best start in life. To this end then, they want to bring that child up somewhere other than the Ukraine, hence the seemingly endless numbers who register to find a partner from outside the country.
On examination of some of these sites, most of the women fit the bill in the way of beauty and accessibility etc. They seem to be very forthright in their expectations so it is easy to see why some men may fancy themselves having a young and beautiful exotic lady as a wife. Photographs tend to be head and shoulders or full length but not revealing in any shape or form. This would send the completely wrong message for sure. Indeed, men sometimes shy away from sites like this for obvious reasons.
Online Dating - What If You Just Can't Go?
For men who want to romance a woman in this way, but feel that they are too far away to do this, some sites also make arrangements to send flowers and gifts to the intended target and this helps to cement a deeper relationship before the final step of marriage is taken of course. Since the site will also help with visa applications as well, this is a one stop marriage shop for all concerned.
Online Dating - Some History...
The misunderstanding of the fact that inter-racial or inter-nationality marriage is a new fangled idea is quite common. Most people believe this is a modern-day phenomena which is taking off. However, this has been with us since before the fourteenth century at least and it is only our ease of movement these days that has made it more popular. As one writer observed, 'the early 21st century will be looked back upon as an era of great biological homogeneity'.
If one takes a look at the American model again, immigration for all nationalities was only cut off in 1924. Since then, inter-nationality marriages are not that uncommon. Indeed, white Americans, if they were tested, would not have much in common with Europeans anymore because of the apparent blending of DNA and genes. This genetic blending then would seem to be the coming thing, whether we like it or not.
Over the last thousand years the view of many people has been that love will conquer all. It is much better, medically speaking, to be married than single as many surveys have shown that men in particular benefit from having a spouse.
It is obvious, then, from this last observation that if one cannot find love among our immediate surroundings, it makes complete sense to look further afield for a spouse.
With immigration amongst the European continent being as it is, it would seem obvious also that we are as likely to marry someone not of our own nationality as one that is of the same nationality. The high rate of divorce also with Europe would also suggest that the age gaps in relationships will also become more obvious as time goes on, and this could be for some odd reasons.
A younger and less affluent person may well look for a more mature and successful person to settle down with. They will be assured of a somewhat comfortable future, have less demands made upon them, and have the opportunity, in some instances, to have a child and bring it up in better surroundings than they could afford in their own place.
