Top 10 Best Countries to Find a Mail Order Bride

best countries for mail order brides

The mail order bride/international dating movement is a constantly changing environment. The hottest countries change regularly over time and this has been true across the history of mail order brides.

During the nineteenth century Swedish mail order brides were all the rage among lonely ranchers and farmers in the United States and Canada, but today Swedish men regularly look for brides from Eastern Europe and Latin America.

Slow developing forces like economics, politics, and religion play a role in the cultural acceptance or resistance to looking abroad for a romantic partner.

Movies and televisions shows sometimes inspire large numbers of men or women to finally start looking for a partner overseas. Even military victories and natural disasters play a role, sometimes an important role, in whether or not men decide to find a bride with a woman from another country.

The modern mail order bride movement really started in Russia after the collapse of the old Soviet Union, but the scene has evolved since then to include dozens of other countries, so we’ve put together a breakdown of our current top 10 countries where your odds of finding the woman of your dreams are the highest.

marry the hottest women in the world

The primary issues we consider are the number of women who sign up with international dating agencies, ease of travel, and any news that makes a country more or less appealing as dating destinations.

All of these are countries where Western men are considered very desirable catches.

#1. Philippines

Philippines' finest

For guys who are looking for a genuine dating experience, with a view to marriage, then the Philippines is a great place to start your journey, and hopefully finish it, too.

If, however, you’re a loud-mouth player, who thinks that splashing cash and PUA techniques are the way to go then you’re going to have a pretty uneventful trip – Filipinas are done falling for your childish mind games.

One of the main benefits of dating a Filipina over other women from Asia, is that English and Spanish are the most commonly spoken languages there. The common ability of Filipinas to speak or at least understand English is an enormous advantage.

This means that there is no language barrier for men from English speaking countries and means that either English or Spanish can serve as a common language for other men.

The importance of this cannot be overstated. Speaking the same language makes it a lot easier to speak the language of love.

It is fairly easy to travel to the Philippines. The most expensive part of a trip to the Philippines is your flight, because after that your day-to-day living expenses will be around $75. You can also let our friends at A Foreign Affair take care of all the hassles and simply go on one of their highly rated romance tours.

Are there girls here looking for a Western guy just for his money? Absolutely, but you can spot them a mile away – they’ll introduce themselves to you first. You just have to sort through the ones you are interested in, but there are worse problems to have than how to sort through the beautiful young women who are vying for your attention.

There are over seven thousand islands in the Philippines, so there is no shortage of great places to travel. There are also mountains, historic sites, and some rocking party scenes in cities such as Cebu, Boracay and Angeles City.

For all of these reasons the Philippines has always been one of the top three or four international dating destinations to find a bride, but the recent nationwide crackdown on street crime helps vault it back to the number one destination.

The Philippines is a significantly safer destination for international dating today than it was a year ago, because of a severe crackdown on street crime by the new Philippines president.

The level of street crime was one of the few things holding back the Philippines as a dating destination and President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent campaign eases those fears.

The Philippines really is a great place to find the woman of your dreams.

#2. Colombia

Colombian girls and places you need to visit

If you listened to the media you’d imagine that Colombia was the kind of place you’d never want to visit. During the 1980s and 1990s Colombia was the white hot center of the drug wars, but that has radically changed in the last decade.

Today Colombia has one of the lower crime rates in Latin America and if you visit you’ll land in a country where cultural influences dating back hundreds of years have resulted in some of the most beautiful women on the planet.

Colombian women are loyal, family oriented, and definitely ready to settle down once they meet the right guy. If you can’t dance right now, then take some lessons before you book your tickets.

Why? Because the ability to dance is something that will set you apart from other gringos, as will being able to speak at least a little Spanish. Don’t expect Colombian women to speak any English and you won’t be disappointed.

You’re going to have to grow a pair if you want a Colombian wife. Women there go out in groups, and you’ll be expected to make the first move. Fortune favors the bold, buddy!

Ease of travel is one of the things that lifts Colombia up the list. For men from the United States or Canada there are generally something like twenty or thirty direct flights a day to choose from going to either Bogota or Cartagena. The flights are generally short, usually less than four hours, and the completion means that prices are relatively cheap.

Also, A Foreign Affair offers numerous romance tours if you feel like you need a wingman in the Andes.

Columbia has a range of beaches, on both the Pacific and Caribbean, mountains, and cities to visit.   Cartagena is an amazing beach town with so many stunning bikini girls you will have to be careful not to go into shock. It also a short four hour flight from LAX. You can’t beat it.

But the thing that really move Colombia into the number two position is that Colombian women are really, really, REALLY interested in meeting foreign men.

All of the sites that cover Latin America have a lot of Colombian women signed up. There is little or no stigma attached to dating a foreign man and that really is important.

Yes, Colombian ladies will make you work at first, but once you are in good with them you are really in good.

#3. Ukraine

places in Ukraine to find foreign women

Ukraine is one of the oldest international dating hot spots and still one of the best. The main attraction to the Ukraine is the incredible number of model quality women. Ukrainian women spend an enormous amount of time and effort to look good for their men.

Western men have become accustomed to expect the bare minimum from women. Ukrainian women on the other hand, put a lot of work into their appearance, taking pride in their femininity – they want to be the best possible version of themselves. Instead of sneering at femininity, Ukrainian girls embrace it.   They tend to be serious about fashion, culture, and fitness. They really want to look good for you and they succeed amazingly well.

There is a myth that Eastern European women are hard boiled gold diggers. That myth started back during the 1990s and it was never really true, but it has changed a lot.

For one thing, younger Ukrainian women today did not grow up in a police state like the generation of women who came of age in the 1990s. They are probably more trusting and generous than an older generation of Eastern European women who grew up in the old Soviet Union, but there are still a lot of good reasons why there are so many Ukrainian mail order brides.

Ukraine is a great place to meet a beautiful girl, but getting there is not easy. From the United States, Canada, or Australia it is an extremely long plane ride to either Odessa or Kiev. There are not a ton of direct flights so more than likely you are going to have at least one stop. Now, for guys from Europe it is not so difficult, but still there not a ton of options for traveling to Ukraine.

And the language barrier is steep. A lot of Ukrainian girls say they speak some English. They are not lying. They do speak SOME English, but most of them do not speak enough to carry on a conversation or even really explain directions.

So, before you visit it is best to at least try to learn a few phrases in Russian – otherwise you’re going to be trying to seduce the woman of your dreams with sign language and smiles.

Dating Ukrainian girls is going to require a bigger time investment on your part than with almost any other overseas location. In part this is because Ukraine has been at the center of international dating for such a long time. They have heard every line from Americans, Canadians, Australians, and guys from every country in Europe.

Ukrainian girls might seem a little bit distant at first, but that’s only because they want to make sure you’re genuine. They’re basically trying to sniff out the players.

If they think you are one then you might as well take the next flight home, but if they decide you are the real deal they will lavish their affections on you in a way that will change your life.

So, there are challenges in the Ukraine, but it is a place that is extremely open to international dating. Every Ukrainian girl has a cousin in LA or an aunt in Australia or a childhood friend in Canada.

Most of these friends have had good experiences and that positive word of mouth is why there are so many Ukrainian women looking for foreign guys.

Also, the recent Russian supported war in Eastern Ukraine and the Putin’s seizure of Crimea has made foreign men even more attractive for Ukrainian girls. These women are looking for men from dull stable places, so if you are from Western Australia, Ontario, or Nebraska this really works in your favor.

#4. Vietnam

beautiful Vietnam and its ladies

When you’ve become accustomed to loud, opinionated, self-medicated and frequently intoxicated women from the United States and Europe, it can be a real shock to the system when you have your first online chat or Skype with a Viet girl. This is because they’re shy, and not in an annoying way.

Instead you meet beautiful young women with flowing black hair, and eyes that you could dive into and never want to come up for air. The only real problem you’ll run into is that getting them to send on some pictures in the first place can be pretty tough – they’re not into giving away too much, too soon.

Vietnam is one of the other hidden gems of the international dating scene, with most single guys flocking to Thailand or the Philippines instead. That’s fine though because it improves your dating prospects here, and Viet women are unique in more ways than just their stunning looks.

For instance, unlike women in certain foreign countries, they don’t believe in having a few boyfriends, and eventually picking their favorite from the bunch. What this tells you is that they’re incredibly loyal from the very start, again something you’re probably not used to.

One thing you do need to really pay attention to is that Viet girls are industrious. They’re always busy going somewhere or doing something, so their one pet hate is lazy guys.

So, if your life is about sitting around drinking beers, watching Netflix, and paying your bills with your worker’s comp claim, then she’s just not going to be that into you.

If they wanted a lazy man they could marry a Vietnamese guy, who have the reputation – justified or not – of being the laziest husbands in Asia.

And if you are that lazy you are probably one of those men who should not be pursuing mail order brides and you should be sure you are not one of those guys before you visit Vietnam or anywhere else, including your corner bar, looking for a wife or girlfriend. It will be better for everyone if you do.

Visiting Vietnam can be a tiny bit tricky if you’re an American because of social hang-ups from the Vietnam War amongst some girls from the North. But in the South being an American can be an actual advantage.

But, overall you can look forward to having an amazing time here, making sure that Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang and Hanoi are on your list of places to visit. And it is incredibly cheap. That is one of the real attractions.

Also, in the last few years there has been a huge increase in non-stop flights to Vietnam, particularly from the United States. So, Vietnam is cheap, fairly easy to visit, and the women are simply stunning.

Ranking Vietnam fourth is almost unfair.

#5. Thailand

Thailand sceneries and women

Yes, we know that you’ve heard all about sex tourism in Thailand, and yes it does exist. But there’s so, so much more to Thailand than the seedy goings-on in Pattaya, and the women who work there.

This is a stunning country, steeped in history, with some of the most beautiful sights in the world, and some of the most beautiful women.

Farangs (foreigners) here stand out from the crowd, so you’d best get used to being seduced by women and lady boys – they can smell your lifestyle a mile away.

The best places to meet honest, dateable girls in Thailand are the bars near universities. The girls hanging out in these places are well educated, and aren’t really interested in your money.

Thai women like their men to be masculine, well dressed, and a little bit assertive, so you need to check those boxes if you want to be successful on the dating scene there. Cities worth visiting are Bangkok, Koh Samui, Phuket Island and Chiang Mai.

Thailand might be ranked higher, but the country has been in a shaky political situation for almost a decade. Usually, the upheavals involved in this do not sweep up international tourists, no one wants to kill the golden goose of the Thai economy, but it is an issue to consider.

#6. Costa Rica

Costa Rican girls and places to visit

When you have some of the best beaches in the world on your doorstep, and a tropical climate to match, then you know you’re already living in paradise. But it gets better, because Ticas (Costa Rican women) take full advantage of their environment by getting and staying active, meaning their bodies are as beautiful as the country they live in.

The majority of educated women here speak English, and will actively pursue a relationship with a gringo. You can also play to the advantage that there are more single women here than single guys, so the odds are definitely in your favor.

Ticas are not shy, and they are passionate in the most breathtaking ways, but without being slutty. European influences also mean that most Ticas have more in common with you than women from almost any other part of South America.

Expect your daily budget to be $50 – $70 minimum, but if you can afford more than that then you’re in for the trip of a lifetime.

#7. China

Why you need to go to China

Very few international dating sites, or guides, pay any attention to China as an ideal place to meet a foreign bride. That’s their loss and your gain though, because China is literally stacked 20-stories deep in beautiful, educated, ambitious single women. And not ambitious in the “give me all your money” kind of way – they’re the perfect wife and business partner.

Want proof? Look at any Chinese family in your neighborhood. Hard workers and completely loyal to each other, right?

Another big learning for you is that Chinese girls who hit their late 20s or 30s, and still aren’t married, are generally left on the shelf. They’re treated like 60 year old spinsters by Chinese guys, so they’re literally dying to meet a western guy because they know that life really only does start at 30.

These women are called sheng nu and you should really follow the link and read up about them. It is an incredible situation.

One thing to watch out for is Chinese women aren’t exactly nuts about shorter guys – they expect their men to be taller than them, masculine and ready to start a life together with them.

There is a significant bias among most Chinese against marrying beyond the Han ethnic group and they can even be picky about that. In fact, Chinese parents routinely warn their children studying in the United States about the danger and disgrace of falling for an ABC – an American-Born-Chinese – because many in the older generation do not consider them authentically Chinese.

But if you are dating a woman considered sheng nu, read older than 24 and not married, her parents may go crazy for you, because you are taking the sad, disgraced sheng nu off their hands even if the sheng nu is a super model with a Ph.D.

Educated Chinese women – and there are millions of them – will speak at least some English, but bear in mind that Mandarin is usually their first language, so you’ll need to learn enough Mandarin Chinese to allow you to strike up a conversation. Usually, a couple of phrases is plenty.

One of the best things about China is that it is easy to get there from everywhere and anywhere. There are literally hundreds of international flights into China every day.

#8 Mexico

Mexico and its hidden treasure

Of all the places it makes sense for North American men to visit, Mexico should be the top of their list. You need some specific reasons? Well, how about Salma Hayek, Demi Lovato, Eva Longoria and Selena Gomez? They’re perfect examples of the type of women you can meet here.

The main reason most western guys don’t want to visit Mexico is because they’ve heard all the horror stories about kidnappings, gang violence, and just how dangerous it is there.

Are there dangerous parts of Mexico you should avoid? Of course, just like any other city in the United States. Is the whole of Mexico dangerous? Absolutely not – most parts of Mexico are as safe as anywhere in North America – how many mass shootings do you see reported in Mexico each year, for example?

Other good news is that Mexican chicas have no problem with dating or marrying gringos, although most of them will live at home with their parents until the day they get married.

Something else worth knowing is that there are more women in Mexico than men, so the odds are definitely stacked in your favor. This is one of the sad results of the decade long drug war that has killed tens of thousands of young Mexican men, but it also means that there are lots of young, beautiful Mexican women looking for mates.

Learn some Spanish before you arrive here, don’t go waving your cash or credit cards around in public, don’t drink tap water and understand that you’re going to have to make the first move in any social or dating situation.

Cities worth adding to your itinerary include Mexico City (yes, really), Morelia, Guadalajara, Monterrey and Leon. There is also the whole other part of Mexico in the beach communities of the Yucatan. These tend to be the safest areas in Mexico for foreigners, but the women are so used to foreign guys hitting on them it is a pretty hard place to succeed.

#9. Dominican Republic

cool places to find your wife in the Dominican Republic

Remember that movie with Robin Williams where he kept going on about “carpe diem” – seize the day? Well that’s pretty much how girls in the DR approach their entire lives i.e. enjoy the good things right now, and worry about the serious stuff later on.

They’re not into material stuff, or how much money you earn, so you can relax and truly be yourself around a DR woman. This’ll feel weird because it’s probably the first time in your entire life you’ve been able to do this.

Women here are very open to the idea of dating foreign men, and where you’ll have the most dating success is in upmarket bars, restaurants, the many beaches, and the ever-popular malls.

Bear in mind that the lighter skinned girls here are usually from wealthy families, so they tend to have very high expectations. That is OK, but you should be aware of the issue.

Cities to visit include Boca Chica, Punta Cana and Santo Domingo. Cities to avoid include Cabarete and Sosua – both of these are crawling with pros looking to separate you from your cash. But that is always a concern in any international dating destination.

But it is an easy flight from a variety of American cities, hotels are cheap, and the food is great.

#10. Brazil

girls and places in Brazil where you can find your bride

Finding, meeting and possibly marrying a Brazilian girl is going to take more than a long weekend hanging out in the bars around Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Belo Horizonte, or Divinopolis. Instead plan on staying here for a few weeks, which will mean renting an apartment, unless you have more money than you know what to do with.

Now, down to the topic of the women here. You can sum them up in one word: stunning!

You’ve probably heard stories about how beautiful Brazilian women are, and we’re happy to report that pretty much every story you’ve heard about these Latinas is completely true.

There are, of course, exceptions to every rule, but the majority of women here are dark, sultry and have a sex appeal you can’t define with mere words.

Brazilian women are hot, because the bikini is practically the national costume. No group of women in the world wears less better than Brazilian girls. They are comfortable in tiny bikinis and mini mini-dresses, because they are in great shape. And of course, that is a big part of the attraction as a location to find a bride.

Brazilian women aren’t into the shy retiring type either, so you’ll be expected to make the first move. You’ll also be expected to dress well, treat her with respect, and basically not act like a broke-ass player who thinks that PUA tactics makes up for actual charm and masculinity.

Now, one thing that has changed is that the Brazilian economy is in dire straits. That has made it much easier to meet a Brazilian mail order bride.

A few year ago everyone agreed that Brazil had a breakout economy, now most economists describe it as broken. That means Brazilian girls are much more interested in leaving their tropical paradise for Chicago or London than they were a few years ago.

And, because of the World Cup and Olympics there are a lot of easy flights and recently constructed hotels.

So, why doesn’t Brazil rank higher? In a word – Zika. Yes, the Zika virus and all that goes with it is simply not sexy or fun. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, so I am hesitant to recommend Brazil as a dating destination despite all of the positives. Once they get that under control Brazil could rocket up to the top of the list.  You will just have to wait until next year to find out.
