Okay there has been a lot of interesting stuff on the forum recently and I hope the below can enlighten some of you
I have never met female scammers in Ukraine on my trips in 2000/01, Xmas 2005, February/March 2006, nor on my trip to Almaty in Sept 2005.
But here are some of basic facts:
1. When I lived in Southern England in 2004/5, I was registered on Oksanalove and Anastasiaweb and another agency I can't remember, I recieved 100's of letters every week. Unfortunately I was living on a mere 100 usd per week - so my correspondence was very (!) extremely limited. Further, I told these girls so but they continued writing.
2. When I changed my address to Jamaica (june 2005), because I was working there, I continued receiving many letters.
3. I have live exactly 12 months to this day in Romania and have received a total of 74 letters on anastasiaweb since March 27th 2007 (when I registered my address change).
Interestingly, I now earn a good few many hundred usd a day (instead of the one hundred per week in UK). I now also have a property in a lovely setting, a nice car (I had neither before and the girls knew it after the first letter) and I can presently drive with my car to Odessa or further for a weekend visit to see her - but nope - she ain't in the slightest bit interested!
I did a test five months ago (since Anasatasiaweb switches off ure profile if you don't write).I used the same photos I had before in 2005. I wrote about 20 odd letters with the same style and tone in my introduction letter as before in 2005. And the reality is not one, not even one, girl is interested in continuing correspondence. Maybe it is because I concentrated in writing to girls within 7 hours drive - but I doubt it.
Either:
1. The girls believe there must be someting wrong with me since there are many Romanian beautiful girls out there (true incicendtly, at least for me)
2. They believe there is too much competition for them and they fear the Romanian canninving way will get in their way to be with their man (very possible, I could understand that)
3. They only want a man who lives in a falsely accepted paradise in UK, USA etc. (most likely)
During my visits in 2005/6 I was astounded at how these girls consider Jamaica to be a paradise - as if Wolmer's death is anything surprising in a city with the world's third largest murdre rate. And when I mentioned I would be working in Romania these girls just went all cold, fumbled, and in one case quickly finished her drink and walked out.
These girls were not scammers. But I would venture to say that they all had their facts upside down: when you have money and you live in a safe place with few life threats (like Bucharest) then you can live a good life - u have the sea, mountains, clubs, restaurants, plenty of job opportunity etc.
But in relatively unsafe suburban London areas and living with little money you can do absolutely zilch! Despite this obvious fact the girls on these sites have shown me statistically that they will never believe you - presumably prefering to continue on dreaming in the obscure, very elusive (today anyways) American Dream.
Bean I have dated a romanian girl that I met on a cruise ship. Saw many photos of her friends. Herself and her girlfriends are all hot and beautiful. I would think living in Romania would be just as fruitful as living in Ukraine when it comes to meeting beautiful women. So my question is why isn't this the case with you? Your candy store is in your backyard! No need to go anywhere else. What is the problem? Romanian girls already too western type now?
Beanstobe: If you are not aware of the anti-Romanian sentiment of Russians and Ukrainians and visa versa I would have to wonder if you are in fact living in Romania or if you are totally blind and deaf. Very very few women will leave Russia or Ukraine for a new life in Romania. That's the reality.
No sane woman will leave her family, friends and home country for a less or similar life. The Eastern ladies are looking for a good husband, but if he lives in a similar location standard to their own, then he will have to be exceptional to win the prize. Most going looking are not. Shock horror...!! Economics are part of the equation. Get used to the idea. She is no less of a woman because she looks for a better life. The smart guy can identify whether or not this is her ONLY unit of measure.
You elude to the perception among some from the East that all in the West is wonderful and therefore won't accept anyone from a Central or Eastern country. Guess what? You are right. Some do think that way, just the same way as some in the west consider everything in the East below acceptable standard.
I'd go so far as to predict that you have 0% chance of winning a Ukrainian or Russian lady if she thinks she is looking at a future in Romania. BTW, I happen to like Romania and have spent a good deal of time there.
I said I did a TEST. I wrote the letters to girls in Ukraine/Russia etc while dating one, or more, girls in Romania.
It was merely a test to see statistically how the women would react with exaclty the same photo, same profile, and same type of letter, but living in Romania versus UK. So I gave you the factual results of the findings - nothing more.
I was dating one steady girl at the time in Romania. I have had numerous encounters, short term to a couple of months in Romania, or several short at the same time. Recently I split up with a more seriosu relationship and started up on the forum - and have been single for nearly two months now (ugh!).
The women are very hot in Romania.
And, from my personal experience of comparing Ukraine to Romania, I would not settle for a Ukrainian, or a Russian.
Romanians are much hotter, better in bed etc - but obviously more gold diggers than Ukraine in my experience.
I had never expected u guys that I would be stupid and daft to cover over old ground with Ukrainian/Russian girls.
That said, I do, yes, have a strong friendship (sexual) with a Ukrainian girl that I visited a day ago (see another post), but it remains that: a sexual friend and a soul mate - we both recognise it and seek nothing more from each other.
Let me get this straight in my thick head. You were the guy who drove 500 miles a few days ago to meet a woman. You are now saying you only went to get laid. Why would you drive past the ocean to get to the lake if you are doing as well locally as you try to imply. My Grandfather got it pretty right 40 years ago when he said, watch most men, "Their cock is their compass, wherever it points they will follow".
I dont know which planet you are on rogue but me thinks you never got out of your box.
I hardly visit this site because I moved to Zagreb (Croatia) at the beginning of the year and have a beautiful relationship with a young, educated, sexy woman here who is not only hot but is also my best friend. I enjoyed the women I met in Romania - but romanians are snake like and thrifty compared to neighbouring countries.
I have never been to the US so I cant compare the women here in central eastern europe to there but that doesnt make me a homo you idiot rogueblade!
So Bean....this beautiful relationship with a hot Croatian sexy women who is also your best friend...was the girl you were thinking about cheating on???? Remember.... you said you would not tell her of your possible meeting with your 'soulmate' from Ukraine...........
These are your words:
"I couldn't be unfaithful to my present girlfriend but likewise I would really like to see my soul-mate in Germany to see how she is doing and to talk, to talk and talk... Is this a good idea? "
"Being intimate again with her may be a possibility but it is not my desire (maybe hers) but yes obviously it is not unfaithful if it is only to talk and not want to long for her after I see her - and besides neither her nor I tell about our meeting to our respective partners - why should we?"
You made not gay.....but you are certainly a cheater..........
