Thanks for the report. It's further evidence that I'm starting to believe that maybe more than half of FSU women featured on websites and attending social tour events are NOT serious about leaving their country for a guy. In my last two trips to Ukraine (Kiev & Lugansk), I noticed a sense of pride and happiness among the Ukrainian girls I met. They seem to be proud and love their country. Good for them. What I don't understand is how they're able to afford the nice clothes that they wear. And in one particular example, a woman claims that it's expensive to mail a letter by post overseas. No sale.
Sorry Gazza, but i'm gonna be upfront and straight to the point, WTF are you doing going to a foreign country, without using your brain, what is the point of meeting any future bride if you don't have a common language????
why didn't you read some of the posts on here and got a guide book? if you had done these two simple things, you wouldn't have got ripped off!
A bit of home work would of stopped you looking like an idiot, to be honest i would have been tooo embarrased to have done your post.
In some respects I agree with you. I will NOT pay for translators. I refuse, not because I can't afford it, or because they're not helpful. I refuse because hiring a translator scoffs in the face of objective reality. That reality is that you and these women are going to have to learn to communicate in the same language, on your own, sooner or later. In my book, sooner is better than later. I've begun studying a little Russian. Any women on this site who is sincere had best have started to learn English. If we have to comminicate in some bastardized version of Russo-English, that's just fine with me. If she's not willing to make the effort, she's not worth my time.
sorry to hear about ure awful trip Gazza. I have been to Ukraine several times and spent a few days in Odessa and can say that it is one of the countries where I have experienced the least of problems. For sure you need to have ID on you at all times - like in all EU countries except the UK, so the same police aggression could have happened perfectly legally in Berlin, Paris, Rome or Amsterdam. Check it up with your embassy if you may. Regarding prostitutes, it is a well known fact, documented on the fiance.com site, and world wide TV news programmes, that many girls in prostituion in the USA, UK, EU, Australia, and even in Dubai or Pakistan, come from the Ukraine. Therefore it is no surprise to find many of them there. Personally, I don't buy into the Ukraine beauty thing, because girls are more beautiful where I live (an adjacent country) but on the whole, and this counts for many on the forum, these girls are more genuine and less problematic than those in the West - and that is why we are still here on this site!!!
When I was working in a hospital in Dubai, I got to know an Azeri madam with FSU girls. Dubai is exceptional in that even street pro is tolerated, something pretty rare even in eastern Europe, but prices are same or better than eastern Europe. I still miss the good times I had with one from Bendery, Moldova (independent part of Moldova), so much so that once in Moldova, I tried to look her up. The address she gave me was correct, but a neighbor told me from behind closed door that she and her mother had moved out of there. Last I heard, she was back in Dubai, but not with her madam, but as mistress of some wealthy local.
Love without a common language of communication between a man and a woman can not exist.
If she can't talk english and you can't talk her language and you need a translator, the whole exercise of finding and meeting a foreign wife is a waste of time and money.
I am against the use of translators and intermediaries for the purpose of communication in internet dating and personal meetings and against paying for them as also using them, leaves things wide open to fraud and manipulation by agencies and the girl herself, as you as the guy will never be able to know what is exactly being said in the translation and what is actually going on.
Only 2 things can possibly give it a chance of working.
1. The foreign girl is sufficiently fluent in English to be able to communicate with you and understand everything you say without any use of translators or translation devices.
2. You, as the guy can speak and understand her language fluently eg you can speak/understand Ukrainian, Russian etc.
In either of these two situations, only can you get to know the girl and develop a relationship and you are also better able to sus her out and what her real intentions are.
Love without a common shared language of communication which can be understood by each other, can not develop or exist!
Be realistic here.
aussieman41, I agree with you but I think one can use translator, or transaliting software to communicate, only meeting in person can lead to something. so, as somebody on the forum said before: getto the plane and meetthem in person.
Facts that ALL must face when traveling to the FSU:
#1. FSU women will NOT fall at your feet (even if they have already told you in letters that they love you) JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A FOREIGN GUY. If you go there expecting that - you deserve what you get.
#2. FSU women are NOT DESPERATE TO LEAVE THEIR COUNTRIES! Maybe they were in 1991 or during the crash of 1998 - but that is all history now. You are NOT their seen as their saviors coming to take them away from their problems.
ANYONE who doubts the facts shown above has probably spent some time looking for CANDYLAND with big rock candy montains and gumdrop trees in their youth and no doubt they think that the FSU is a fantasy land today as well.
As a western guy - you have ONE advantage when you go to the FSU. You probably have more money than many guys there have (but not more than EVERY guy). That alone will open doors for you - but you have to be smart enough to know WHAT doors to open. But if you are a complete loser (and sadly some of those seeking here are) you will strike out just as surely there as you do here.
There are no real magic wands. Reality is reality.
I wish all of you luck. But PLEASE don't go there blinded like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.
The funniest posts ever written to this forum were written by an Australian guy some time ago. He was in his fifties - and not particularly bright. He went to Ukraine with the the intent of meeting four or five fashion model quality 18 year olds (he posted links to their pictures). Al lof the girls were of course gorgeous and all of them wanted hundreds of dollars in advance to pay for their transportation to meet this guy (after all they ahd to take busses and trains, maybe a plane). All of the girls gladly took his money in advance and none of the girls SHOWED UP! IMAGINE THAT! And he was all upset.
You HAVE TO be realistic. These girls know the game as well as you do and as is often the case - if something seems too good to be true it probably is.
Jetmba,
Good advice ,
It made me laugh when gazza decribed Odessa as a shit city ! could think of a lot worse places to be,
dont really see any ression coming, after all 99% of the property here is paid for and very few people take out loans
, unlike in UK,
now life in Ukraine is not that bad, no shortage of money and nice cars and jeeps,
5 years ago there were lots of girls intrested in Leaving , but now not so many,
Its still no problem to meet a nice girl if you do it properly, but you have to be realistick in who you decided to meet,
if you the adverage guy in his 40's and some stunning girl in her 20's who you have never meet sends you some very loving letter, did you realy beleve it was wriiten by her ?
you have to use your brains and not your ballls in these matters
you can have a great time while you are here, just be realistic !
