What TMA is not...TMA is not an online dating site where members log in and send each other messages. TMA is not a dating or escort service where contacts with women can be made on short notice. TMA is not a site where just any man can purchase the contact information of any woman who interests him. The woman must see the man's profile and authorize release of her contact information to him before he can receive it. Web Profile PostingNo man's profile will appear on the TMA website without permission from the man. TMA is a postal mail & email based matchmaking system. We distribute your profile discreetly by postal mail and by email (as a PDF file) so it's not necessary for your profile to appear on the TMA website.

Success Story“Dear TMA, First I'd like to say thank you because thanks to TMA, I found love. Very quickly. I'll get married in March. I am very happy because it was my dream. With our busy life, it is difficult to find love -- Thank you for your help! I am writing this letter because I'd like to cancel my registration. I don't need to be registered anymore. Also, your women clients don't need to get my profile. Thank you very much. I found the princess I was looking for. I thought it was difficult to find ideal partner. I'll recommend your service to people I know. Thank you!” Pierre, Japan How to joinTo become a TMA client is simple. Just follow the simple steps summarized on the Registration Checklist. As soon as your payment is confirmed, TMA will make your profile and send you a letter explaining in greater detail how to use our system, as well as any Free Bonus Offers you requested.

Who May Join?You must be at least 18 years of age and NOT MARRIED to use this service.

TMA welcomes men of all races and nationalities, and has succeeded in finding matches for large numbers of them over the years.

Our Pledge to Honesty
We cannot guarantee success, but we can promise to deal with you
honestly. Your success depends entirely on how attractive the
women find you. You may not be attracted to some of the women
whose profiles you receive, but among those you do find
attractive may be the girl of your dreams, and she
will make the whole effort well worth your whileWeb Profile Posting
No man's profile will appear on the TMA website without permission from the man. TMA is a postal mail & email based matchmaking system. We distribute your profile discreetly by postal mail and by email (as a PDF file) so it's not necessary for your profile to appear on the TMA website.
How many men and women clients do you have?TMA currently has about 1,600 men clients and 1,600 women clients. In order to maximize the chances of success for both our men and women clients, we make sure that the ratio of men to women clients never falls seriously out of balance. We do this by adjusting the amount of advertising directed at men or women. Back to TopWhat are my chances of marrying a Japanese woman?Your chances of marrying a Japanese woman depend on how attractive the women find you and the life you can offer them. For this reason, we suggest you send a good photo of yourself and do a careful job filling out your profile form. Please try to avoid photos that make you look intimidating, unfriendly, angry, goofy, depressed, or undignified. (See our Guidelines for Effective Profile Writing and Photo Submission for some important tips that may help improve your chances.) Back to TopWomen have always considered me below average in attractiveness. Do I have a chance to succeed?Yes. TMA has seen many instances of men who were "below average" who succeeded in spite of initial low expectations. Physical attractiveness is only one thing the women look at. They'll also look at all the information on your profile as well as your personality. Once you've contacted a woman, it's up to you to convince her you're a good man she should consider marrying. Back to TopHow long will it take for me to meet a lady?This varies greatly from client to client. Sometimes the initial contacts take place very quickly. At other times, it takes a moderate or longer time to make a contact. It depends, again, on how attractive the women find you, but is also greatly affected by the way in which you approach them, as well as your requirements for the women. If you are too demanding, it'll often take longer to start a serious relationship, so we suggest you request to contact as many women as possible in order to maximize your chances of contacting them as quickly as possible. Back to TopDo you offer a money-back guarantee?We guarantee to provide the profile mailing and request services described in our brochure and on our website, but we cannot guarantee that you'll succeed in finding a marriage partner. Success at that depends on many factors beyond our control. For example, it depends on how attractive the women find you and on your ability to form a relationship that will lead to marriage. It also depends on how demanding you are insofar as the characteristics and age of the woman are concerned. Since TMA has no control over those things, we are unable to offer a money-back guarantee. Back to TopDo you charge a "success fee" in the event I succeed in marrying a woman?No. Unlike many marriage agencies which tack on a large additional fee if you succeed, TMA charges nothing extra. This means you don't even have to inform us of your success (and many clients don't) and it also means that there'll be no "post-success" conflicts over money between TMA and our clients. However, if you do succeed, we'd certainly appreciate it if you'd recommend us to others. Back to TopIt seems you only have about 160 ladies on your site. Is that all you have?Not at all. There are many other TMA women clients whose profiles
don't appear on our site. The profiles you see on our site are just
a small sampling of our women clients. Over 90% of TMA clients
prefer NOT to have their profiles publicly posted. The women whose Back to TopI live outside Japan. Will the ladies come to see me? How will we meet?Yes, they'll come to see you, in most instances. The Japanese women clients who join TMA are specifically interested in meeting and marrying men from overseas. In this way, they aren't typical Japanese women. Many of them travel overseas frequently for vacation and business purposes. They use TMA to make contacts with men who they look forward to meeting while overseas. This doesn't mean, necessarily, that they'll agree to settle overseas. About half of them want to live overseas, and the other half want you to come and live in Japan with them. If your ideas on this conflict, you may be able to convince her to see it your way, or she may be able to convince you to see it her way. Failing that, you'll have to give up the relationship and look for someone else. Back to TopDo you arrange meetings with the Japanese women?No, we don't. It's up to you and your potential marriage partner to agree on the time and place to meet. In order to keep our fees low, TMA doesn't get involved in the details of how and when our men and women clients meet. Back to TopI'm going to Japan in 3 weeks and I'm not a member. Can you set me up with a date?Although this may be possible in a rare case, generally speaking, we cannot facilitate a meeting on such short notice. This is not a dating, tour or escort service; this is a marriage agency whose purpose is to facilitate contacts between men and women with an eye toward marriage. Our system takes some time to work, usually at least 1-3 months, often 6-12 months, sometimes longer. Since marriage is a long term commitment, it should not be rushed, and we generally don't arrange introductions on short notice. Back to TopI'm going to Japan in 3 weeks and I'm not a member. Where can I meet your Japanese women?You cannot meet our women clients until they've had a chance to see your photo and read your profile. Since our profile mailings go out monthly, and since we have to first create your profile prior to mailing it to our women clients, 3 weeks is almost never enough time for her to both see your profile and agree to meet you. More patience is required, but the reward for patience is a much better chance of finding a marriage partner. Back to TopWill you help with travel arrangements?
Back to TopWill you help with visa arrangements?TMA does not get involved in matters related to visas. However, we can recommend some websites which might be of use to you in that respect. Back to TopOnce I meet a lady and we like each other, how long will it take for us to actually get married?This depends entirely on you and the lady. However, we'd recommend that you take your time. It's important that you really get to know the woman before committing to marriage. Back to TopWhy is there such a wide range in the guaranteed minimum number of profiles men receive for each membership type?There's a wide range for three reasons: Back to TopI'm only 20. Are any of your ladies only interested in dating?If you are only 20, you are in the very lowest age group of TMA's men clients. As such, the number of women clients we have who are around your age is not so large. you'll need to consider women in their mid to upper 20s in order to have a large number to select from. As for dating, yes, our Japanese women clients who are in their 20s are, for the most part, happy to date for a long period before getting married. Back to TopHow good is the English of these ladies?TMA's Japanese women clients can generally communicate reasonably well in English. English is widely studied in Japan and is the most common second language, by far, of Japanese people. A large number of our women clients speak very good English. However, a small percentage of our women clients speak little or no English. With those, you'll either need some knowledge of Japanese, or you can use translation software until one or both of you becomes reasonably competent in the other's language. Back to TopI'm over 50. What are my chances of meeting and marrying a Japanese woman?Your chances of success depend on how attractive the women find you and the life you can offer them. But, there are other factors involved — age is only one factor. Naturally, the older you are, the more difficult it becomes, but it never becomes impossible, especially if you keep your expectations realistic and are willing to consider women who are a bit older than you might consider ideal. Back to TopI'm over 50, but only want ladies in their 20s and 30s. What are my chances?TMA's Japanese women clients are not "mail order brides." Japan
is one of the world's most economically advanced countries, so our
women clients are not economic refugees such as you might find in
the countries of the former Soviet Union or in such underdeveloped
countries like Thailand or the Philippines. Japan itself is a very
safe country with a high standard of living, so our Japanese women
clients aren't seeking marriage simply to escape Japan and get a
visa to enter the U.S. or some other country. They seek Back to TopWhat percentage of the ladies wish to remain living in Japan?This is always difficult for us to quantify, but based on anecdotal evidence and our intuitive understanding of our women clients, we estimate that about 50% of them want to stay in Japan, and about 50% of them want to live overseas, almost always in an advanced Western country like the U.S.A., Canada, Western Europe, Australia, or New Zealand. They may consider other countries, but that would be unusual. Back to TopWhat percentage of the ladies would like to live in USA? Europe? Australia?We think that about 50% of them would be willing to move overseas and live in a Western country. Of those, the plurality would end up living in the U.S.A., but many also go to Canada, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and, in rare cases, other countries. As for whether or not you can persuade her to come and live in your country, that depends on you, Romeo. Back to Top

generally seek men a few years older than themselves but not more
than 15 years their senior. If you are over 50 and seek a woman in
her 20s and 30s, we won't tell you it's impossible, but you should
understand it's unlikely you'll succeed in marrying a Japanese woman
in her 20s, though there is a much greater chance of marrying one
who's in her 30s.
