Ok, I would feel stupid to ask a girl, so I will ask you instead.
Marriage to a Russian gal has great appeal to me, but I am not sure what happens when we come back here. Is it the case most women work in Russia? In the US 20 years ago, it was the norm to have a stay at home mom, etc. But I don't want a stat-at-home wife. Are these rude questions to ask girls. What is the culture differences??
Here in Russia most women work.And this is not because they want it so much, great majority of them would gladly prefer to be a housewife, they just cant afford it. It is not a rude question to ask girs, because all have different preferences. Some of them would like to stay at home, the other would prefer to work.So dont hesitate to ask your girl about it, its a normal question.
I feel a woman should be herself of all things and if you want to work, do it. In America you have the option, there is something about a woman who is strong enough to be herself that make her special.
My family originated in Germany and migrated to Australia in 1951.
Though few of us were born (or even remember WWII) my Oma (grandmother) does.
My Grandfather was born in the Netherlands, but he was forced to serve in the 'SS Nordland' (A Dutch/German) division. Because of his engineering skills he found himself on the Russian front in Stalingrad. He was captured (he says he surrendered?) and was a prisoner of war in the Soviet Union. It was 5 years before he was allowed to return to Holland -though he did not hate Russians.
Though I was born in Australia and consider myself Australian, I am aware of my German heritage; I know about the suffering Germany inflicted on Russia during the war.
However, I confess that I know little about modern Russia.
I hope my next question does not sound to naive – do Russians still dislike German people? Even though I am Australian, will Russian women reject me if I tell them that my family is originally German?
Noooooo ;-)))) Nobody here dislikes German people ;-)))))It even sound funny, and nobody will care about your German relatives ;-))Dont worry about it.
I was married to a filipino for four years, she left after six monthsof marriage to see if the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. I took her back to give her a second chance to change, but she did not and we finally divorced. I beleieve on being married forever, my question is how sincere are the women and are they very serious about until death due us part? I have no regrets for marrying a foreigner, but I do not want to become a green card ticket only. I want a family, but the age group I am looking at is 18 to 24. I am 34 and the reasoning behind this age difference is to give her time for adjustment to me and this country. I want this one to work, but I do not want to get someone who is not going to be able to handle the commitment necessary.
The above reason you make, Mike, is the reason why I would never marry an asian woman, they are like a cat put in a bag and as soon as you "save them" by letting them out they just want to escape, not from you but into a lifestyle where they can be in control of their own life. It's like letting them into a candy store and not having been fed for a week. They are second class citizens in asia and when you bring them into a society of equality then they change..... they will not be the sweet and obedient girl you thought she was way back when you met her in Bankok. But, if you think that Russian women are much different then in part you may be right but ask yourself why they want to leave Russia........
people have different reasons for leaving their country, and in 98% of cases-they do it just looking for better living conditions. But there are still 2% for those who are genuenly look for their soulmates and find them. I wish all of you find those 2% ;-)
Most of my ancestors came to the US from Europe only 3 generations back, and they were just looking for a better life, so I wouldn't fault anyone for that. But Olga, don't you think that RW are looking for a faithful and reliable husband who will respect them and treat them well, in addition to better living conditions? Not that Russian men aren't capable of that (I'm sure many are), but maybe the RW think their chances are better somewhere else? The statistics I've seen are that marriages between US men and Russian ladies have a 98% success rate, so it would seem that something is working right, in any case.
Gary, I didnt mean to say that better living conditions is the ONLY reason for RW who look for foreign husbands.My personal oppinion that most of them do that,of course the others are seeking for faithful and reliable husbands that will treat them well...As for chances.We cant judge in general about it. Each person has his own range of chances. JUst an example.A Pretty young girl has equally good chances to find a husband both in Russia and USA. Or, a 40 yo lady with kids and average appearance will have same problems of finding a husband, both here and lets say, in states.So I would not dare to say that RW are looking for foreign husbands because they have better chances abroad. They just look for things that they could not find here.Those who are happily married here will never look abroad ;))) Same is about western men.
Olga, in 500 years time when people look atthese transcripts they would mistaken you for a great philosopher rather than what you are....... a smart woman!!! ;) A woman with common sense, a woman with intelligence, charm, wit,....... oh I can't help myself when I see such words of wisdom, it excites me!!!
Monolith!
Stop chatting Olga Up matey,but a genuine complement is infact a great source of encouragement for people like Olga.You never know she might be a bloke with huge beer belly and a bald head like yourself??
Keep smiling matey!

what does it take for a russian girl to be convinced that someone like me when they go online looking for relationships that last, are good enough and not a prank????????
jairaj - I think that first you have to establish a good correspondence by mail. If your letters are sincere and thoughtfully written, she should at least be convinced that your intentions are serious and it's not a prank. Then, the next thing you will have to do is go visit her (and maybe her family too!) in her country so she knows that you are really serious. You also need to convince yourself that SHE is for real and not just trying to scam you! If I figure out how to do all this easily I'll let you know.
