I watched this documentary film with fascination because I wanted to know more about the men who are featured. These are white American men trying to find a Ukrainian woman to import to the United States for the purpose of marriage. All of them seemed to be decent enough men, not the type who would bring a woman to our country under false pretenses and turn her life into a nightmare. I wanted to know if all or any of them would be successful.
This film focuses on a particular company that provides a web site, translation services, and trips to that country for meet ups, which are usually parties where women come to meet men, dance, talk, and perhaps further their relationships.
Some of the men have spent thousands on this process and have been to the country before. It's not an advertisement for this particular company and I wondered just how many companies are in the business of brides.
I can't help myself. All the while I'm wondering why these men want a woman from afar, because I think there are plenty of women right here in the United States of America who would be willing to marry them. Most of these men have income, houses, and can provide and evidence of that is also that some of them are spending thousands of dollars in pursuit of Ukrainian women.
C 2020 Mistress Manifesto BlogSpot
Over the last several years, rather than keep to the usual Mistress (or Mantress) of the Month format, I've been covering special topics that I think will be of interest to my steady readers in December - the Holidays.
I know that the holidays are busy. I know that some of my readers, who are involved with others who are married and elsewhere, may feel especially bored and lonely. The Coronavirus-19 Pandemic has put extra stress on everyone, particularly those who have had to sequester themselves without visits from the one they love and lust after. Too many Zoom meetings already. I wonders if we will ever safely date. Can we even kiss someone we just met?
This might be a good time to read this blog from start to finish if you have never and think about what life as a Mistress (or Mantress) has been for some of those who couldn't keep their lives a secret because they were just too famous or they themselves wrote a book about that experience. Maybe this will help you assess your own relationships, your needs and desires. Maybe you're one of those people who think being Kept is something you would never do. Or maybe you're trying to decide if you stay or go in an extramarital relationship. Remember that for every one person who is known, there are likely hundreds who have arrangements, and many thousands who've had an affair.
You may be NMNK and happy or you may long for a partner in life. There's a question you must ask yourself...
Do you want to be married?
If you're someone who wants to be married but you just can't seem to get a relationship going in that direction, you may have considered what's out there - Internet based dating clubs which have their basis in what used to be called Lonely Hearts Clubs! There are many opportunities to meet someone long distance, such as someone from another country who is actually still living there. These long distance connections are aided by companies, hundreds of them from what hear, that charge mostly Westernized men to meet mostly "foreign" women.
One of the stereotypes we deal with as a society is that men are marriage adverse and women want to be married and have to be patient, or be tricky, or extra sexy, or something in order to snare a resistant man. Is a man who is in love resistant just because he's male?
In truth, there are many good men who want to be married because they see the value in it. Some men flourish in a good marriage. Others just seem to have no luck. Are they just "too picky"? Is their wish list just too difficult to fulfill? Maybe having no luck works in their favor - for a while. A man who has had a hard time meeting Ms. Right might just appreciate a good woman more than a man who is spoiled by women. Any woman who has been baited, hooked, and then thrown back into the sea by a man whose just no good, who has issues with commitment or does this to flatter his ego or impress his lousy friends, wants one of those good men - a keeper! Some women are willing to share a good man too.
So this month I want to look at the men who desire marriage so much they have given up on it all happening organically and naturally and have decided to try to import a partner for life. They seek a woman who will be the ultimate gift to themselves! And I want to look at the whole arranged marriage deal in this, the 21st century!

I got the movie and watched it. It was called "Wickedly Funny" by the Los Angeles Times. It was filmed to look more like a documentary or was it a documentary? It won the 2005 Santa Barbara Film Festival Best Independent Feature Film (but not Documentary Film). I'm confused. So it's a fiction and a comedy? Though there were some scenes that were outrageous I didn't think it was funny!
