Purchase "acquire (something) by paying for it; buy". Did you spend money with the agency? YES or NO. By defintion, that my senile old friend is a "purchase". I will be 24 years in November. Do you know why divorce rates are lower when you purchase a wife? I called 2 of them and you would be surprised at the responses.
I notice that your buddies Starbucks Wilbur and Squirt aren't even defending you. Have a great day...
Sorry, buddy, trying to twist the definition of "purchasing" in this instance to purchasing a wife doesn't fly with any intelligent and
objective person and I will tell you why.\:
When one buys a car or tv, he is purchasing it by giving an established set amount of money for a definable product he saw
at the car dealer or in the store he saw a tv.
Now before I get into your ignorant comment about "purchasing a wife," let's take another example:
If one goes to an employment agency, and they find him a job for which he has to pay them a fee and ends up loving
the job they find for him, would you deem that as "purchasing a job" or as I would, helping him find a job commensurate
with his talents and one that he ended up loving??
I am not going to use your sophomoric "YES" or "NO" way of trying to ram my opinion down your throat!!
I will let others decide if my point is valid!!
Back to your contention of "purchasing a wife."
It is basically the same as with the car and tv comparison to the employment agency.
Your implication is that I "purchased" a wife in the same manner as I would a car or tv in that she is an inanimate object
that I ordered from the agency and that she had no say as to whether she wanted to marry me or not!!
If you took the time to research what International Matchmaking Agencies are all about and what they have been around
since they started flourishing in the last 20 years or so, you would realize that you are 100% WRONG!!
Most importantly untold thousands of men have been matched with loving, and devoted wives!!
My particular agency, Foreign Affair, was one of the first ones to get involved in helping people find mates,
and actually featuring them on Sixty Minutes, is the manner in which I found out about them and
which led to my pursuit of this possibility.
While a lot more of these agencies have come into existence since that time, Foreign Affair is still very highly
regarded!!
Also, Foreign Affair and the top Matchmaking Services don't accept a woman from the many countries
in which they operate simply because they apply!!
There is a while screening process they have to pass before they are accepted.
I don't know what you mean about your "I called two of them," etc. but the undeniable fact is that unlike the divorce rate
in the US which is 50%, marriages such as mine have a 4% divorce rate tops!!
That is your schooling lesson for today, Mr old fuddy-duddy!!
Hopefully, you will climb out of your perennial time warp someday and realize that the year is 2023 and not 1950!!
ps I am still awaiting your response as to whether you intend to contribute to this thread with the political
topics of the day rather than trying to get under my skin!!
You have a great day also!!
From post 3059 directed to Cheddar:
Cheddar, kindly tell us why you don't get involved in the hot daily topics of the day!!
Are you apolitical and/or is there some other reason why you rather direct your confrontational posts to me as opposed
to stating your views and links to political topics such as Trump, Biden, the Investigations, etc?
