Guys, is it seasonal or a general strike from boot manufacturers. No girls are wearing their fancy boots. What gives? Legs don't quite have that toning effect. All I see is regular heels now.
Why do they even ask the question about whether a girls smokes or not...they ALL smoke. They just say I can stop whenever I want or just feel a little nervous. Yea, right.
I got pulled the 'drop-the-money and cop comes by quickly' scheme. I was surprised at first because of my honesty. But I waited a second and told the supposed cop..in my best Russian, 'lets go to police station', he quickly shut up and I told all 3 guys to f**k off you arseholes. Watch out nebees!!!!
Guys always have plan A and their back up plans but I needed plan C. Got to have extras just in case. First time using an agency for a girl. Highway robbery. Luckily found a nice girl and have spent several nice evenings.
I have come to conclusion, you have to speak the same language as girl, interpreters get in the way.
I am learning russian for that reason. Why let your possible match fall threw the cracks? Many guys don't choose a girl based on English skills , so they are in less demand. My feeling!
Ive had 2 experiences of drop the money. First I was a little confused and just walked off. Second they dropped the money in front of me in a plastic bag and I was just about to kick it onto a busy street when the partner jumped on it!
Usually the boots go into hibernation this time of the year and the high heels with straps up to knees come out. I think I prefer the latter!
i dated non english speaking girls in ukraine, we communicated by a combination of sign language and smoke signals.a very interesting experience i think.
Gemini,
Not even high heels with straps to the knees!!!! Jeans are still 90% worn, so you don't get to see much leg.
Zeeco, most guys think same way as you, so you all are after the same women. My thought is if you knew the language it would put you in prime position.
Just four years ago - jeans were practically nonexistant in Odessa. On women OR men. I brought a few pair and wore them - but it caused me to stick out like a sore thumb. On another trip about a year later - my then-fiance and I tried to find them in the market - what we found was NOTHING like jeans worn in the west.
But two weeks ago EVERY girl in Donetsk, it seemed, was wearing jeans. And while I still saw quite a few of the fancy boots with heels - they were a lot less common than they were four years ago in Odessa. Fashion changes in Ukraine VERY quickly.
In five years Eastern Europeans will be wearing styles no different than those of Western Europeans.
Hey Moscow, how have you been??? Didn't you go to Russsia recently? I remember you talking abou it.
Each trip is a learning experience, surely to determine if the girls I am writing to are genuine and sincere.
beemer, I'm going to Saint Petersburg in July to meet the girl my cousin said was my match. I hope it works out, despite an 18 year age difference. My cousin supposedly has a "Plan B" for me in Moscow (14 years age difference), but she won't provide me any photos or an e-mail address until I meet "Plan A". Just as well. I'm not into writing anyway.
Moscow,
18 years is nothing in my book, it is the compatibility most important. Remember, these girls are more mature than their counterparts. Mine are 20-25 years and we are blind to age differences. Who really knows??? Good luck on your trip and have a ball!!!
Got to tell me about that hot July weather!!!!
To moscow has said in previous posts that he is 30 years old so as you state there is an 18 year age difference dont you think she is just a little young for you?
beemer,
with due respect, girls have their books too. Fifteen years is considered a large, unusual age difference in Ukraine. This is what I learned from conversations with several Ukrainian ladies.
Thank goodness for women who like different variations, huh kingarthur?
Just three weeks ago I spoke to a lovely translator who was working with a number of us "foreign guys". When asked if she or her friends would be interested in meeting a guy from another country she told us flat out that "No my friends and I have no interest in meeting a foreign guy." She said "We have pretty boys here, why do we need one from another country?" If you want to get right down to it - most FSU women would prefer to meet a guy perhaps three to five years older than they are, who lives in their FSU country, who has a good stable fiancial situation and who doesn't expect them to leave the homeland.
That's all fine and dandy - but not much interest to those of us on this fourm. FORTUNATELY - there ARE those who want a foreign guy, an older guy and there are those willing to leave their countries to as well. They are NOT the "usual girls" and their desire IS considered by most to be "different". But those are the ladies we are looking for.
Who are the rest of us to criticise? Its the different and unusual ladies that make our dreams potential realities.
King,
You are right in one regard, luckily the women I talk to are not the same as yours. Yes, there are plenty of girls who would like a man close to their age but there are also girls who's primary focus is on security and interests.
jet,
you sometimes see criticism where there isn't any. Yes, you are right about the needle in the haystack. Young AND beautiful AND well educated AND interested in much older guys AND eager to leave her homeland AND... what else?
KA
With marriages in our own country, with people the same age, we know half will end in divorce and theres the question of how many of the other 50% are happy in their marriage?
There is no money back gaurantee in life.
If I find real compatiblity with a woman 20-25 years younger, could it really be any more of a risk? Maybe, but its a risk I am prepared to take.
Adman,
What???? You take risks??? Is this the same adman from down under??
You know, I would rather have a 15 years of a great marriage than 50 years from an good marriage. Who knows how long marriages last now a days, for all we know we'll be dead tomorrow, why look for what will happen 20-30 years from now! Live now, sleep later. Live in the moment. Life is too short. If I gotta go, let it be with a smile on my face and a beautiful young girl next to me(other than my daughter). :)))
