Related anecdote:
|
|
|
|
I was eating in a restaurant in chinatown in Boston. The place was empty.
|
|
The only other customer was a white guy reading an asian-language
|
|
newspaper. The guy asked the waiter for help translating a word.
|
|
Eventually his story came out.
|
|
|
|
He had married an asian woman through one of these introduction services.
|
|
after about a year of marriage she had charged him with assault and left
|
|
him, leaving no contact information. He was hanging around in Chinatown,
|
|
asking random asians for help finding her.
|
|
|
|
I obviously don't know if he did assault her, but what struck me was that
|
|
the possibility of mutual exploitation is high.
|
|
|
|
Anecdote number two:
|
|
|
|
In college I had a job as a street vendor. There was a guy I worked with
|
|
who was a lifer in the job. He was a noticably messed up guy. Among
|
|
other odd characteristics he fawned on women customers, doing stuff like
|
|
offering them flowers.
|
|
|
|
I asked him about it. He said that he'd never had sex with a woman who
|
|
wasn't a prostitute, and his dream was to save up enough money to get a
|
|
mail order bride.
|
|
|
|
I was really moved. The guy was a loon, but he wanted a companion as much
|
|
as anyone else and he was realistic about his chances.
