Hey Guys, Happy New Year once again to all of you Forum Dudes. Anyhow, I spent a relaxing 5 days in Sydney, Australia. Even though the summertime weather wasn't cooperative....RAIN! It was still a blast. It's been almost 8 months since I've been there.....and I forgot just how gorgeous the Aussie women are.....whoa! I go back there in 8 days. There's one cutie in particular I'm looking to see. Sooooooo, my sweetie Olga from Cheboksary has been hitting me heavy about the money since I've been gone. Now her mom has gotten into the act......A week ago I was Mr. Wonderful according to her......now, I'm "greedy and brutal"....so what is it Mrs. Svistunova? Apparently, her daughter agrees with her. I told her I wasn't going to send her any money. But, once I arrive in Cheboksary, if things go accordingly like we would want them toooo.....I told her I'm generous with my time, my love and my money. Again, I reiterated about my fellow Forums guys who have been duped by Russian beauties out of monies....she told me that it wasn't interesting for her to listen about my friends who have been deceived. Oh well, Now her thingis....If you really love me and want to be with me.....you would want to help me.....let me back up a little bit for those who don't know the story. a week and half ago she got her purse snatched.....I guess she did, don't know what to believe. So she out of money until February 5th. So tomorrow is her last e-mail from me until then.....I'm guessing, but anyhow, Now she won't give me her street address (wanted to send her flowers to cheer her up). Her mom told her not to give it to me.....Don't you hate those meddling moms? LOL! It's so funny because I've asked her about 15 times for her street address just so I could see if she maybe had a phone and she was lying about it. Now she holding it over my head.....well, this is a little bit too much drama for Socalboy, especially after seeing all of talent down under. So that is it for now. I have received about 7 replys from women of this site. What's up with the basic membership? Why even have it if I can't even respond to them without paying. What's up with that? Do you guys pay for a month then bolt after you get their e-mail and phone numbers? let me know, OK, Socalboy
Of all the sites I am aware of, this site is by far the most reasonable. For VIP, it's flat fee, and write as many as you want.
There are other sites where you don't even have e-mail, just snail mail to the girls.
I suppose an other way to look at it is if you have problems spending the money to initially meet these girls, what are you going to do when you get hit up with the cost required to bring her home?
Hey Scott, you little super sleuth. I figured if I hung around the forum long enough someone would find out for me if she's on one of these sites. I just e-mailed probably for the last time. You know, as beautiful as these women are....there's a lot of work that has to go into this to pull it off. I guess for awhile it's so easy to go ga-ga over their looks and forget about the important issues......namely, TRUST. I find that to be the toughest cookie to know. But, there are other fish to fry out there. I guess if one is willing to put the time and effort into seeking a long distance romance with a Russian, it could be fruitful as long as both parties are working for a common goal. So how's your search going any luck? Also, there's a lot babes on this site......city- of- brides.com......much nicer looking than fiance.com, late, Socalboy

I think after you have had a chance to evaluate all the different sites you will probably find Fiance to be the most cost effective. $30 a month for unlimited unedited e-mails all translated is not bad.
As to your girl, this is my opinion mind you, but I would be running for cover. In the year that I have been looking I have never been asked for money from any of the ladies that I ahve corresponded with. The lady that I visited with and subsequently asked to marry me would not even accept money for her English lessons after we had met. It took a couple of days and help from her English teacher to finally convince her that it was in both of our interests that she have regular lessons. To be asked for money after only 1 month of corresponance and to have her mother involved just doesn't sound right.
Wmferg.....couldn't agree with you more. I'm guessing since she's on city-of-brides.com, if she's pulling that line on other guys? I might even pay the $49.95 to see if I can get her street address and phone number. She has told me 'til she blue in the face that she has no phone number.....or has avoided about 10 times my request for her street address. I have her p.o.box, but not the other. Again, she does not know that I know she is on this sight. She originally contacted me througha matchmaker.com. Also, I joined this site and I am impressed with beauty of these women also. Late, Socalboy
I don't know why you would want to spend any more of your time much less your money on a situation that will not profit your search. Go on and find another more worth your time and efforts.
As for me, my relationship just recently collapsed, so I am back to square one, and looking for the next potential relationship.
Scott, I couldn't agree with you more, but for some reason it's tough to let go. It's weird with all of the fish in the sea, I'm really drawn to this gal. I guess investing in one months worth of writing to her really sucked me in. In almost one month.....I wrote this chick 36 time freaking times.....same for her to me. I guess she's feeling a little pissed, working so hard and with no results! Oh well, Things on paper looked good until the money issue came up. I guess it's tough to put my ass on the line again.....I guess that's where I'm at now. Oh well, fall off the bike, get back on it! Late, Scott.....better luck to you also.
"I guess she's feeling a little pissed, working so hard and with no results"
Exactly that is the reason why I already told you to send her that 2-liner - 'you'll give me your details or you get lost'. IF she, as you think she might be, is also drawn to you she will. If not - nothing lost.
Hey Beyond Thunderdome, she says she won't have any money to e-mail me until February 5th....so we'll see. Believe me, I'm not holding my breath, too many other cute Russian ladies out there. Late, Socal
Just as there are women willing to take advantage of a man to get money (or even citizenship in another country), their are men that go to the FSU to take advantage of legitimate women.
I've dealt with some women that were just as paranoid as we can be.
I had one relationship that ended because she questioned my sincerity on more than one occasion.
Trust ultimately has to be earned in a relationship, but distrust can poison a relationahip, too.
Socal, we all agree you are doing the right thing in this case.
