Mail Order Brides/Marriage Agency...

In my sociology class, we saw a video talking about marriage agency's in Russia. And many of the guys that sign up for this agency seem to have what I see as a messiah complex. They want women that are small, feminine, and like a stereotypical wife. I find this odd. How is one unable to find a potential "mate" in a country FILLED with women?!?!?! I mean of all the women in the country, can you not find a women that fits your needs?
