Do women that live in specific locaitons (particularly in Ukraine) have attitudes peculiar to their location and different from women in other locations? Or are there prevailing attitudes seen from women in all locations beyond the usual ones seen in all women (goldiggers, man-haters, you know the drill).
You'll find golddiggers in great numbers in Ukraine. Interestingly, however, even the golddiggers are not after as much gold as western golddiggers are. Beautiful women in the west might expect you to provide a lavish penthouse apartment etc. etc. etc. equalling ten of thousands of dollars for a really gorgeous woman.
Even in a worst-case scenario a Ukrainian woman will not cost you that much while she is over there anyway. And even if you marry her and bring her over aside from the expectedly greater costs of travel etc. you probably won't be on the hook for as much. (Its small consolation, I know.)
But "man-haters"? I've never met a true man-hater over there. That is entirely a product of the feminazi culture of the west. There are women over there who don't like MEN over there, for various reasons which are unrelated to being MALE in general. But I can't think of a single real man-hater I have ever met from Eastern Europe.
(Once met a woman here in the US on a Yahoo dating site. On sitting down at the restaurant we met at she told me "I just want you to know right off, that I hate ALL men. I am only on this date becasue my friends say I should meet someone and my kids will be in college soon and will need some help with tuition." Now THAT was a good old fashioned American home-bred man-hater AND golddigger!)
Jetmba, thanks for the perspective. And the Yahoo story! What a Ukrainian woman would be satisfied with is something that I have been wondering for a long time. Now how her desires will change once she is feet dry in the US is anybody's guess, to be sure. My question regards prevailing attitudes of women based on her location, i.e., more/less goldiggers in the city/rural areas, better homemakers in the eastern half than the western half, or are these unrealistic generalizations?
Can't help you with that directly as the two women I have principally been involved with that I met in Eastern Europe were each from large cities in their perspecive countries (Chisinau Moldova & Riga Latvia).
The girl from Chisinau while an excellent intelligent, outgoing and beautiful women, was not a likely candidate for homemaker. She could not cook. She would not cleam, anything. She seemed more interested in the righes that the west could provide. She was only 23 when I met her (she's 27 now) and she attributed her lack of disire for things like that to the fact that she was too young. Not specifically too young for me, just too young to want to be a homebody." (At 27?!?!)
The girl from Riga - really was too young.
I hope to go elsewhere - where I might meet a girl with more homemaking values. Will let you know more when I do.
Your question is a good one, but having thought about it for a couple of hours, I have to say IMHO there is not a clear answer. You have zoned in on Ukriane and I'll admit that my expereince in Ukriane is limited to 3 visits there over the years and certainly not looking to meet a partner. A couple of observations which might be worth considering. It goes without saying the people from the more afluent areas are probably likely to be more demanding of economic standards in some ways than those from the struggling areas. Having said that, the first thing to bare in mind is that a person who is in a "Needy" situation is likely to be motivated by more things than a search for love. I think you hear what I am saying. That is simple logic. The person who is in a now comfortable economic situation or at least "Not Needy" is less likely to be motivated by perifiral matters. Again, simple logic.
The far east and the far west of Ukriane has some super places and parts are doing well, but it is pretty obvious that the likes of Kiev and Crimia are doing better. I think you perhaps should be prudent about which areas you target in the provincial parts. However, if you are careful with your search and take time to visit more than once, I feel the wheat sorts itself from the chaff fairly quickly.
I am firmly convinced that extended communications prior to meeting have many dangers. The imagination can play lots of tricks on us and the longer the non direct communications go the greater the chance of this becomming a real factor. IMHO get face to face in a fairly short time before any emotions get involved and then make it VERY CLEAR that you are not going to move quickly from that point. When you start to discuss your next visit/s you will see the response pretty quick. If she is sincere, she won't be pushing you to track off and apply for the K-1. If not, you can be fairly sure she will back right off in most cases.
I simply don't think you can specify traits such as you have mentioned by geographic location. However, you will find different, somewhat related attitudes which vary from place to place. For exmaple, Romania is one of my very favourite places and I always enjoy the people, culture and food. It is a relatively simple place in which to travel and has much to offer, but, I do think the women there are generally quite street sharp and I would suggest that a smart mouth man will get toasted there in short order. Siberian cites differ greatly from Moscow for example and that is not simply a difference in size. The bottom line is that there is good and bad wherever you go and to arrive in a given location expecting one specific type of person is not realistic.
If the visitor is smart, he will get clued up on how and what to look for, rather than relying on opinions of other people saying "These are like this" or whatever. To do this is a cop out in the preparation process. "I can go here safely because these women are like this" is a very lazy way to approach this. It is fools security. I have seen some do just that and it is usually not long before their arse is handed to them on a plate. Get as much information as possible before you go and don't fall in love with anyone you have not met face to face on at least two seperate trips.
People are so chocked of I/O posts that they are afraid of posting hers/hes.
Most people need to work and they havent time to make "research" like this gentlemen in
hes prolixity posts and defenetly they havent time "think for hours". Is he a pensioneer?
My british boyfriend always says about americans : why write a sentence when you can write a chapter, or something that...
But soon happyness comes to every home, I/O "research" and "experience" will quarantee everybody beautiful and homeoriented bride from "FSU state":)
Being in this board for a while I remember one argentinian gentleman who knew everything about dating in Russia, but we all knew how this ended too.
Oh one thing I forgot to mention in all that verbosity. There is one exception in the FSU which has very "Location specific attitudes". I think it was Estonia if I remember correctly. :-)
And I'd like to know who the referred to 'we' is, I don't want to be included in her 'we', she needs to learn to speak for herself without including others in her vain attempt to add substance to her verbal tripe.
Happy Valentine day to all my "friends"!!!!!!!!
Sorry about we...from now I speak only ME, ME, ME!
Just a question is Harantis and I/O the same person?
