International Dating Myths and Truths for Women

All the myths surrounding international dating might make it easy to ignore this option for finding a fulfilling relationship. But before you dismiss this medium for helping you find happiness, you should know the myths and truths so you can properly evaluate whether it’s right for you.

Myth #1: It’s hard to date internationally

Dating online is not necessarily more complicated than dating face-to-face – and a prime advantage of online dating internationally is that many people are seeking long-term relationships. It helps if you consider in advance what you’d be willing to do if things get more serious. Will he come to visit you? Will you move to his country? Are you willing to take responsibility for finding out the facts about visas and other immigration issues – instead of relying solely on your match to provide the information? It all becomes easier when you find someone you really want to be with. When you start talking about making a commitment, start looking into what government documents you might need to go forward.

Myth #2: Only unsuccessful men date online

This is simply not true. Often men on RoseBrides.com are seeking someone from another culture because it can be a rich experience that can broaden horizons. If you do a general search of profiles you will find that many of our male members are skilled, successful professionals. So it’s important to do your homework: read profiles and ask questions tactfully – and you just may find the man of your dreams.

Myth #3: Men only want young or younger women

This may be true for some men, but not all. The majority of men on RoseBrides.com are looking for matches of their same age or younger. Very often, a man says he is seeking a younger woman but is open to getting to know women around his age as well. Men seeking significantly younger women are a minority on RoseBrides.com.

Myth #4: Men only want a beautiful woman

While looks are certainly important to both sexes, men on RoseBrides.com are also interested in women they can relate to. You will find many who say that compatibility is important and also state in their profiles that they aren’t looking for a physically perfect woman. Several men on RoseBrides.com are seeking a woman with a great personality – and that woman could be you!

Myth #5: Western men are only interested in short-term relationships

Western men can be loving husbands and great fathers just like men from other countries – it all depends on the individual, it’s not something you can generalize – and sometimes a man from a Western country can offer more financial stability. Of course, anytime you mix two different cultures there are bound to be bumps in the road – and all relationships have some kind of issue to work through. So it’s very important for the two of you to get to know as much as possible about each other (e.g., personality, relationship and life goals). Above all, being honest from the start can save you heartache down the road.

International dating sites offer another tool for helping you find your true love. All you need to do is apply the same common sense rules you'd use when meeting men in your home town!
