As the name suggests, mail-order bride sites are host to women that are ready for something more serious like a long-term commitment. These are women who know what they are there for and in most cases, know what they are looking for in a man. Dating sites are a whole different story. They attract people of all kinds, those that are looking for one night stands, some for friends with benefits, some even to make normal friends. Having to filter through all these extra profiles will be a huge waste of time. By going to mail-order bride sites, you eliminate a lot of the things that you will want to avoid automatically, like scammers, fake profiles, and women not looking for commitment.
