Scouting the Web for the Sexiest Foreign Brides from the World's Best International Dating Agencies.

OK, so by now nearly everyone knows that Bing is the latest challenger to go after the internet's heavyweight champion of search Google.  Bing is a Microsoft product and for the most part it has gotten fairly good reviews.  The interface is slick and the daily photos are usually stunning and it returns good search results.  However, there is nothing that is likely to make too many people switch from Google to Bing - until NOW!

Bing crushes Google for looking at hot girls!  I believe this is a fair review. In fact, I believe that Bing should be you default image search. But don't trust me.  Check it out for yourself:

Look at International Love Scout on Google and now look at International Love Scout on Bing You might be prompted about your safe search.  If it is on, turn it off. There's no nudity on the site, but someone doesn't seem to like pictures of pretty girls.

At International Love Scout we periodically update our dating agency reviews based on visitor feedback, our interaction with the agency, and other information that comes to light.  This month we have updated our review of Anastasia International. 

Anastasia is one of the biggest, if not the biggest international dating site.  They have tons of beautiful women, probably more than any other agency, and lots of extra services that could really be useful.  

In our first review we only gave them a B-.  This grade, the lowest of any agency we reviewed, was largely based on negative reviews and comments posted around the web and because their prices seemed to be significantly higher than some of the other big agencies.   You can find absolutely brutal comments about Anastasia on some of the oldest message boards and international dating review sites.

Yesterday Elena’s Models, became the first international dating agency to be rated as an overall A+ by the reviewers here at International Love Scout.   We make absolutely no attempt to review all of the international dating agencies.   We try to review the BEST international dating agencies and our grades are correspondingly high.

However, none of the agencies we review has ever earned an A+.  Elena’s earned the A+ review by building on their long track record of outstanding customer service and markedly improving their service since our original review.

Elena’s has always had the right attitude about the business.  They clearly respect their customers as human beings and extol the virtues of both the women and men that sign up for their service.  They also clearly enjoy that they have been able to help many of their customers find happiness and they have been far and away the industry leader of the anti-scam movement.

One of the biggest questions that guys are concerned about is their privacy.  We cover this in our reviews, but essentially the safest agencies use reputable third party payment processors, so they never see your credit card information, and are based in the US, the EU, Australia, or another country with a strong criminal justice system.  Generally, those two things vastly reduce your worries about privacy.

However, if you are really obsessive we suggest that you create a free Yahoo or Hotmail account that you devote solely to your mail order bride adventure.  That way you don't even have to worry about spam.  

Honestly, most of the staff here are signed up with numerous sites, far more than just the ones we review, and frankly the emails are manageable.  There are several sites that I know we will never review on ILS, but I still like seeing their new profiles and who they have matched me too. 

Clearly one of the big challenges of international dating is understanding the various dating rituals around the world.  Well, according to the New York Times Iraq is really developing a bizarre dating ritual: The  "Love IED". 

  The article is funny, but a little sad:

"BAGHDAD — It goes like this: Boy meets girl. They exchange glances and text messages, the limit of respectable courting here. Then boy asks girl’s father for her hand. Dad turns him down. Boy goes to girl’s house and plants a bomb out front."
