Ennyi. Tudom, hogy pontosan nem ilyen fajta, de hasonló kaptafára "készült" össznépi esemény létezik az angolszász világban, annyi különbséggel, hogy nem lányokat nézegetnek a fiúk, hanem a fiúkra licitálnak lányok. Ez lehetne egy kiinduló pont, sajnos ennek az angol elnevezését sem találtam meg. Minden tippet megköszönök.

bride selection
Although it has not been practiced for many years, bride selection did exist, especially among gold miners who did not have the time to meet women by other means.
