I’m in South Florida, a) without Photoshop or a working ctrl-key on my keyboard, and b) casually leafing through the New York Post at breakfast. And I’ve found a pro tip for any of you guys in NYC or Florida who were possibly lamenting that cutbacks in your salary would negatively impact your ability to find a mate, or maybe even wondering how to make that next rent payment. It looks like you can not only get yourself hitched to a hot Russian girl, but you can also make a decent amount of ca$h off of the deal:

The Russian Advertiser, a Russian-language weekly, has an entire classified-ad section devoted to “delovoy brak,” or “business marriages.” Last week’s issue had 34 ads from women and men hoping to come together in unholy matrimony.

“I am 41, nice looking woman, long time in the country, citizen. Offering delavoy brok to a serious man, age 38-52,” one says.

One Sheepshead Bay man said he gets offers all the time from marriage brokers.

“I get calls asking me to marry one of these girls every other week,” said the Ukrainian immigrant, who came to Brooklyn in 1975 and is a US citizen.

“It’s easy money,” he said. “And the girls are really hot.”

What’s the downside? Well, in the print version of the story, one guy says his bride slept with other guys, sent him divorce papers while in the hospital and stole back about $5K of the $10K he got for agreeing to marry her. When asked if he would do it again, though, he was like…um, yeah.
