I just googled it a second ago but felt gross and cleared my browser history... ebony, do you know? Its a russian thing right? Im asking bc I just had my friend who is a plumber over.. I had a minor plumbing issue, he fixed it right away and then just hung around wanting to chat for an hour. He always talks about how he wants a wife but everyone takes advantage of him and shit. Oh yeah, think he was pretty high when he came over but idc bout that. Anyway, he said sth about getting a mail order bride or some filipino site bc he thinks those are the "cutest asians" .. and im just over here like..."so how much do I owe you for the work?" D:

Yes, they are. Especially Russia. Yup, if you're not married by 30 they practically consider you a spinster.

Yes they're still real. Don't know if it still exists but in the 1990s there was a mail order bride catalog called Cherry Blossoms. Most women were either from the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Ukraine or Russia.
Edit: Just checked and they still exist!

I know a guy who got a bride from Russia. He found her on some website, they chatted, he went over and met her and her family, and they were married. He was an ugly little man and she was pretty hot. He knocked her up and went to Iraq. Came back 12 months later, knocked her up again and went back to Iraq.

I watched an entire series about mail order brides from Russia.
One couple intrigued me in particular. He seemed genuinely interested in her, and he took the time to learn Russian, and tried to communicate with her family, and made an effort that he wasn't there to "use" her. When she went to see him, she paid for her own ticket to America all by herself, she was self-employed, and was independent. She also learned English, took the time to meet his parents, and demonstrate that she wasn't using him for his money, that she was prepared to support herself.
They ended up getting married, having two kids, have a Facebook account and many followers.
There were some other hook-ups that were pretty sketchy and there was one "group" where a guy ran a lecture about how to "select and mount" your choice, and it was disgusting, how he objectified these Russian women as being nothing but sex dolls. It made my skin crawl.
