The answer: "Sometimes" is hardly reassuring enough.
With respect to this aspect there would be at least three types of men:
1) Those who never write in this forum. We don't know much about them.
2) Those who write here for a while, then disappear. Some of them tell about their success (up to that point), others don't.
3) Those who write here "for ever" (or for a very long time, anyway). This last group seems to contain a number of people who are very sure of themselves and always ready to "put others in their place".
Since the people who are most sure of themselves and most sure of the advice they give to people stay in this forum for a long time one wonders what is going on.
Your message is Godsend... Finally some common sense.... Funny how noone has responded to your post because its negative and the sheer reality. This is what is wrong with this forum.. too much controlled biased crap. The fact is most relationships dont work.. Its sad but true.... i only know of failed cases. Not 1 succesful case beyond a few years. Im sure there are exceptions somewhere in the world... its a scary thing meeting a russian girl.. even if we are addicted to them
