Typical exapmple of a sweeping asserion - take one lemon ( it's called lemon in US version of language, right? ) and generalize to the whole class, like "i've bought '1975 Chevrolet from a scrapyard and want to tell you some things you want to know before buying an American car"
Because 3rd and 4th are swept under the category of 'Russian Brides' and share negative samples with them, like 'crappy Russian wife from Armenia) and positive ones go to separate category.(In contrast, you hear nothing but good experiences from those who sought love in Philippines, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Armenia, etc.)
Because it's a business, exploiting image of 'hot russian bride' . There may be no real woman behind these messages at all.Why do you think at least half of the Russian women that men correspond with online eventually end up asking for large amounts of money to be transferred to them by Western Union? You can verify this on your own without even going to Russia. Correspond with Russian women online from various websites (especially the free ones) and you'll easily find this out, AT LEAST HALF will be asking you for money. On the other hand, I’ve corresponded with hundreds of women online before, and other than from Russia or Ukraine, none of them ever asked me for money.
It seems that overall path of "I paid the agency, and I want quality service/goods NOW!' don't work here.
Wrong sampling - not "modern Russian woman" but "Russian woman that signed up with a foreign marriage agency". If he can't make this narrowing, he deserve all this crap he experienced.The trap and peril of being generous to the modern Russian woman
