My friend is thinking of getting an internet bride and I laughed my ass off about it. I didn't really took it seriously at first but he seemed to be very serious when he said it the second time. I mean, why would he think of getting himself one when there are actually a lot of hot young women in our locality? I know he's being desperate on getting married because of our age but c'mon, can anyone give me one good reason why you would want an internet bride and a foreign at most?
