So essentially, 2 stories end in success in marriage, 3 in failure of scams and 1 guy with no luck in finding anyone there but a relationship develops back home - however suspect face saver.
It really takes several viewings to realize that pretty much all of those featured both on the mail and female side and perhaps even the agencies involved contain character positives and flaws that perhaps most if not all of us have or at least other ones.
Bobby's experiences highlight the stupidity of using PPL (pay per letter sites) with his $10-12,000 loss and nothing to show for it. While Micheal's experience shows the characters that can lurk on these dating sites for the wrong reasons, frustrating the wishes of men wanting a real serious relationship. Travis's experiences shows the dangers of picking someone up impromptu at random on a tour.
Meanwhile, the two other guys shows that meeting someone on tour can turn out well - though an update on all would be good.
Leaving Ron who seems to be more akin with the American dating scene, not realizing that 'shaking everyone's hand' will not get him far in the East European scene where the woman probably wondered what the hell is he doing. He tends to fall into analyzing the situation to make sense of it rather than getting involved.
The women demonstrate the real wants and needs of legit women wanting family and relationship against scam artists looking for money to support themselves in an economically troubled country - naturally they use what they have, their looks and femininity to help them out.
Main thing to take away, is that these guys are looking for what we all want, a happy life and pitfalls in searching for it can happen, nothing is guaranteed for any of us. So its no real shortcoming that some succeed and some fail it seems just sporadic and random chance.
