I am new here. I have with interest read many of the posts. And I find the debate very interesting.
However, some of my questions are a little different from most of the ones I have seen.
I am looking for a mature woman who is willing to re-locate (I am quite happy with the place where I live).
Are mature women in Russia prepared to leave their family and their jobs and settle in another country?
yes but the younger ones are just as prepared so perhaps if you expand your horizions you might be plesantly surprised at the oportunities that this very special site has to offer you, good luck on your quest.
Thankyou
for your advice.
But I am not interested in a child bride. I do not run as fast as I did in high school anymore!
(and I am not interested in a Lolita daughter either!)
However, I DO see some of the problems in asking a woman with family and an established career of some kind to re-locate to a foreign country!
Look at the the profiles of the woman. 24 year old Russian woman are looking for a man around 35- 40, 28 year old woman looking for 44- 48 year old men 35 year old women are looking for 50 -55 more or less. You see these women have different ideals so what I was saying is you have a broad range of woman to choose from. It is best to keep an open mind, so perhaps you are close to 62 what is wrong with a 44 to 50 year old woman or maybe a 40 year old woman, check out some profiles and try to find a woman with good English skills that is more important than your age ideal. russian woman want a good man not a good looking man or a young man or a rich man they want a man to love and be loved by. Write some letters to a variety of different types of woman and just see what you get. Keep an open mind.
There is no problem with asking a woman with a child or two to relocate this is why they are here,
You wrote this not me, I said nothing about children or lolita's you are asuming things here and that is not the way to approach this site, most likely the feed back you will receive will be consistent with what I am saying.

Geniatrix, if you see a girl advertising herslf on this site or any other, I am sure she has done it for a reason. She has already asked herself these questions and has decided that it is possible for her. I personaly know 3 older women who have left family behind. There children are fully grown doing there own thing and she has decided to life for herself now.
wessman,
Please accept my apology.
I had just read a post on the women's forum, where a woman told that she had to leave her new American fiancee in a hurry when she discovered that he was too interested in her under-age daughter. I just wanted to spell out that I do not have that hidden agenda when I am looking for a mature woman.
I am sorry if I offended anybody.
I am sure no-one is offended geriatrix, I am 41 and didn't look for anyone under 30, I would love a girl in her 20's, but I am thinking 20 years ahead when the age gap is more meaningful, I think you can stretch the age gap to 15 or even 20 years, but if you are 60 plus, I wouldn't really go for anyone under 40
You know I can give anothe example of a stereotype but concerning age....my mom always told me "your future boyfriend should be 4 years older then you, only then you will be happy":) Funny, but she is not the one who thinks that way:)
So what I say, age in love doesn't mean a thing, people of different age may be happy:) Their happiness is only in their hands:)
Two practical questions.
(1) Do
(a) Russia
(b) Ukraine
allow a person to have dual citizenship? (two passports)
(2) Do either of those countries allow foreigners to own real estate?
(e.g. a 'dacha')
Geriatrix (Sancho),
Your questions are most IMpractical, unless of course you're planning to live in Russia or Ukraine.
Is there anyone here who would seriously consider such thing?
Countries who restrict, prohibit and discourage dual citizenship to its people are usually those with the largest numbers of people wanting to get the hell out for whatever reasons.
Most western countries place no such restrictions on their citizens.

Thanks for your response.
It leads into the very interesting, and very big issue of identity.
(which flag would a Polish-American spectator carry in Athen?).
Your are suggesting that a Russian woman will forever stay Russian in her heart.(?) -It follows that the arrest of all Japanese in USA during WW2 was totally justified.
Now, my question was actually a much simpler one: Will Russia allow a Russian woman to keep her Russian passport, when she gets another one? And, can she keep a 'dacha' in Russia, if she gives up her Russian passport?
geriatrix nobody can answer these questions you asked. I don't want to hurt anybody, but it seams that nobody knows what the authorities in Russia can think out. Local authorities, country's authorities...anything can come into their mind.
As for dual citizenship I don't know. I know in Ukraine it is possible to have dual citizenship, that's for sure:)
To clarify several points here as best as I can........as some of you know I am married to a Ukranian.....and after consultation with the authorities here (UK) I know there are no problems with my wife applying for dual citizenship.
Also since my wife arrived here we have made friend with a lot of foreign nationals living and working here....Russian/Ukranian/Armenian/Georgian/....and in all cases there have been no problems.
Following the rules can be long-winded and tedious but there is a lot of help and advice available for those who choose to find it.
