I wanted to create some debate over the thinking and attitudes of women from the Former Soviet Union Countries in relation to the thinking and attitudes of Western men.
For a start being from a different culture, a FSU women from Russia etc. is going to think differently than a man from the West such as USA,Canada, Australia etc. and have different attitudes about life issues.
There is definitely going to be a difference of temperament between a FSU women and a Western man as there is very much a difference of temperament between myself and Indian ex-wife.
Such issues can make forming and keeping a relationship going very difficult and may doom it ( as in my case ) and there will be clashes over the rearing of children if you have them ( as in my case with my foreign ex-wife when we were married and still after divorce ) and other life issues.
Bridging the cultural gap between a foreign woman and a western man is very difficult at the best of times.
With FSU women, you are dealing with possibly communist and marxist attitudes ( I had an argument with a FSU women I wrote ot on the internet and she called me a "capitalist pig" and started rattling off Karl Marx and communist beliefs and idioms and the girl was only 25, one of the kids of the Mikhail Gorbachov era when things were changing in the FSU but her beliefs had not and communism was well and truly alive in her ).
I just think, you will come up against a lot of strange beliefs ( to us capitalist Western men ), strange behaviours and attitudes ( compared to girls from the West ) which is going to make it really hard to get along with an FSU women and create real problems and well a\nd truly doom most realtionships with these girls.
Any comments and food for thought here??
hey aussieman.
lets talk instead about asian women.you should be more familiar with them,right?
tell me your impression.
yes,i am old fart and dont have much luck lately so i switched to site dateinasia.com
and so far all goes well.
now i plan a trip to Phillipines.
Asian women are taught to be obedient wives in there cultures but like all women they should not be able to take crap or be abused..its not acceptable and when they learn the ways of the West, they are no longer submissive and will argue with you.
Speaking about Indian girls..they can be arrogant, rude and very stubborn like my ex-wife.
Filipino girls do make good wives and they are faithful to you as long as you don't do the dirty on them...they will stick by you if you treat them well and they are not materialistic and used to living in tight economic conditions and they don't waste money..yes you might find some gold diggers there in the Phillipines if you are not careful but gold digging women exist in all cultures..be wise and sus all girls out and get to know them well before marrying them.
Aussie - I do not agree with Asian are taught to be obedient whatsoever. You should date more of them. In Eastern culture - a woman makes ALL domestic rules. Although you may hear of subservience, they are not submissive.
Aussieman has a point that I referred to before: incompatbility of cultures when bringing a foreign woman (or man - depending on your gender and preferences) into your native culture.
The only health culturally different couples I ever met were ones who both their left their native soil to meet and live, together, in a third country unknown to them. Kazak and UK live in India/Sri Lanka, or Aussie and Indian living in Africa, or American and Ethiopian living in Asia.
Any other way other than a third neutral country means someone is sacrificing a life style to the other, a sacrifice which inevitably means for a gain of some sort, whether it be sex, money, career, prestige or just simply escape from pressure in his/her home country.
Don't get me wrong, there are some people with genuine political/ social pressures that force them to leave. But they are far and few between, and generally they don't go after foreign men/women to solve their problems but go through administartive/political routes to seek safety from repurcussions and gain new passport and identity status.
Not many FSU women fit that category anymore (at least not since back in 1992), unless they are from Tchenchenya or Turkmenistan, so all the ones on all these marriage sites must by logic above be wanting some and "willing" to sacrifice their traditional close family and friendship ties to go abroad - a "willingness" which comes with its price, a price which is not necessarily "money" (as so often confused by Western men).
The FSU women pays a high price for moving abroad to live with a Western man..she does not see her friends, sees no theatre ( they all like going to theatre often to watch plays, native musicals and opera which is not really done in Western countries as an activity ), misses her family, feels isolated, can't walk around the town window shopping as everything is too far away in Western suburbia and she needs to catch unfamiliar and sometimes non-existent public transport such as buses so she feels all trapped and lonely.
They think in the US, Australia, U.K etc. the streets are paved in gold and man brings home a gold brick as a weekly wage but they don't understand that most of the income goes in mortgage, car payments and bills and food and there is precious little left for entertainment and that life in the West is all about giving money to other people and after it is done, you are left with little or none for yourself.
The Western lifestyle and suburbia type living with nothing more than your local shopping mall, the FSU women will hate..not many can adapt to this lifestyle and this is why most unions between Western men and FSU girls will be doomed and they will return back home and will not want to be a Western "Desperate Housewife".
They have unrealalistic expectations of life in US and think it is like outdated T.V soaps like "Dallas" with J.R spending his millions in life of luxury on acreage with 3 storey mansions and stables full of horses!
Most Russian etc. girls on the internet really have no idea of what the real West is..small old houses squashed together in suburbia, pollution, drug addicts running around suburbia committing crime doing burglaries of houses, bashing people for there wallets etc., not enough cops to keep law and order, generally scummy suburbs like what I live in and too dangerous to go walking around at night..sometimes I think things are better in there own countries with some of the shit that goes on here!
ussieman reading your posts
about the temperment FSU women sure there are differences definately having lived with em so long a time in FSU since 1999 and seeing the changes in both them / and the country ( they really should have left it alone ).dont try and work em out just go with the flow or you will go mad !!!
The russian woman ok my 5 cents worth ! they take everything literally ---they take as you say as like gospell ---they dont seem to have any ''she'l be right '' about them !
They in some ways have far more caring for other half that Aussie bird would ! ( erkk what could an aussie offer to any man except a 30 minute sermon on you not taking the garbage out ?)
What am i saying --a winner in life soon coverted to a loser with a western raised woman !
The russian woman sadly in i would say 5 of 10 cases see's herself only in 80% of situations in life - certain selfishness about them --my own even sufferes that !
what you say mate of the expectations the gold bricks etc --yes your dead right ( ive never quiet worked out where they get these ideas?)
Although mine not a victim that type of thinking --and yes you are correct in saying overall the girls are better off where they are as opposed to the crime shitholes we suffer hear in aussie .
Ive felt safer in 11 of 14 cities ive lived in duriing my time in FSU than i have hear . imagine you / me heading out into perths northbridge area midnight the asians get beaten up stabbings are common -hey if your lucky you may even get home with all fingers intact .
yes FSU folks cant seem to fathom that we have hear a huge crime problem (* of course this is largely caused by that shit race of folks err ''the natives/ and the imports =since we savagely abolished the ''white australia policy !) whom we forever embrace as poor soles ohh so hard done buy ! = basterds --
the tasmanians had the right idea you know what they did to em thier .= GOOD ive zero time for societies leftover ''rags '' the dead wood if you like !
there are NO good ones - sorry all crap !
Auusieman have you noticed on the stats just how many russian women are actually fleeing the usa back home to dingyville centre russia where ever they come from -it dosent really work for em all this relocating --
iam still a 1000% firm believer you want the girl / you love her / go be with her -why destroy her environment why drag her away from family ?
Why upset her apple cart i know exactly as you say they like thier own system mum / dad . granny go windowshopping -
i true believe thats where the worries start ---everybody trying to show them the escape tunnel from USSR big bad old USSR --! its a falicy to put into your mind ''ohh we must get her out of there ''
strains of ''james bond '' movie theme music in the background !parachutes . hidden boot cavities in cars smugglers etc etc --IVAN ON THE STREET CORNER with poison tipped umbrella its all crap ---------the movies made millions but they are only movies !
Overall mate look maybe i missed the tram somewhere but i cant honestly say over 8 years and being thier copious amounts of time that all girls ive met and there friends -well i cant say any 1 of them has ever embraced me tears streaming down the face --asking me darling please can you to find me escape from russia ??
Ive never heard it in my life ! the ones whom want to leave ( il meet 1 one day iam sure )
are normally the ones older family all carked it --nothing to stay for --majority those women are you know 37 plus age group ( to old for me mate ! ) so i dont meet that grouping of people !
ok if i brought my girl age 26/ 27 to aussie -mate she has more relatives that you could fit into a govvy bus ------now use your brains guys --she'l want 4 trips a year home to mummy / granny / daddy / uncle remuse's third cousin ! ivan from the corner shop he used be neighbourhood stallion !sister, bro, i mean 4 trips a year i know two guys in my city presently slowly going broke sending thier girls back 3/ 4 times a year x 3k to 3.5k a trip thats fares AHHHHHHHHH of course she'l want a quid to spread around the table all the rellies --thats just cost you another 1k a trip .
ohh she's arrived home ohh fuck sake cousin alexy just got him by the 5 oclock bus staggering across the road maggotty drunk ----
she's to the gospital at once il just ring hubby he to fix all --him has card ( never to run out ! but i not know why sell he mercedes?? now we have red car = KIA ! )
YOU GET THE DRIFT GUYS they'l send you broke / sorry rephrase --you'l send yourself broke making that rod for your back bring the honey to your country whist shes close to rellies and 59 of the bludgers still alive all healthy as pigs ! funnu that huh !
YOU'D HAVE TO BE TOTALLY MAD to bring a girl to westy land whom is so close to family like mine is ! and hope she no want go see muma -----cause by fuck she will !
thats WHEN you become the money tree and believe me ------hey iam 6 figures a year and iam having trouble keeping up to all the trips $$$ wise --how do these guys survive on 40k a YEAR if curvy pants is absorbing 15k of it in trips back to muma --and you'l be sending 3/5k a year back to family ohh yu got 59 birthdays to cope with ( standard aussie ends up doing a bust on the local bank because he becomes that ''twat struck'' its worse than drugs your trying to find ways extort vast loans to keep hot pants happy !)
and
you know how jeolous they get --------i cant even look at the bird in rostov selling me a newspaper on the street --mine id near knife me if i looked sideways at the tarts !
No Worrie Eh mate? I never thought money was a big issue with you Mr. Highroller. Wow what a turn of events. Can't keep up on them 6 figures? Hell it's only money and the birds over there ain't like the one's here? Hmmm? singing a different tune these days.
Until you get your lady from the FSU country here, then talk about it. No big deal Mate, mines doing fine, and not blowing the load on every bullshit item she can. Just making the castle look beautiful. Simply amazes me, how guys can't find the decent women in the FSU. Why treat them any different than in your own back yard. With the exception, the good ones have a better attitude and outlook on life and stronger character than the locals. At least thats the way mine is.
Did you see thread 'translation letters', it was from 3 years ago. I think it is funny to read a persons post
from when they just starting or close to it. The thought process is so different. I just thought it was
kind of interesting. Must be weird to read those posts now.
That was back in the good old days of being a newbie. Ptichka, had a lot of influence on me. She was and still is an outstanding lady. Tanya(Pitchka) got married about a year or so back. She was really missed in this forum. She brought an actual insight to women from Ukraine. No BS straight upfront information about the do's and don'ts of finding a woman from Ukraine.
There hasn't been a female in this forum that helped to contribute to the guys here since her. I've always told her, without her I probably wouldn't have succeeded in this journey. She will always have a special place in my memory. The thing is, it wasn't just me, that felt that way about her. When she posted, people listened, because it was reality and fact. She wasn't looking for a man abroad, she married a guy at home. She was just one of the rare people who liked to help others and expected nothing in return. She was a student at the time, and still took the time to answer our personal emails to her. Class like hers is not found often in this forum. It's too bad she's still not around to share her insight. It's worth putting her name in the search engine and you will get the straight shot from a woman from Ukraine. Not the idiotic drivel we read now. My wife was impressed early on my knowledge of the feminine psyche from Ukraine, I told her I had to be honest that I was getting my information from a lady from Ukraine. She told me too bad many other guys from the US didn't follow her advice, they would be miles ahead with the ladies instead of being like a bull in a China shop when they came to Ukraine.
Thanks Always Ptichka!! It was your help that made my relationship possible, to be lucky enough to understand the real workings of women from Ukraine. Ptichkas advice to me once was, why would you do anything different with a lady from Ukraine that you wouldn't do in your own country? Act normal and learn her customs she told me, it would be impressive. Too many guys try to go overboard because of where we are from. It worked for me.
Nasfan your an idiot if you re read my post iam basicaly warning others hey iam still holding up ok thanks very much .
NOT that its anybodies business i owe no bugger on hear nothing !
what iam trying to say is Not that you have to be a high roller ( you got it wrong again ) .
what iam saying is unless you are on a decent quid ----you really cannot play in amongst this jungle -------you wont survive !
I MEAN HEY LIKE AN FSU GIRL IS GOING TO ALIGHT THE COUNTRY WITH YOU KNOW NASFAN THE GARBOLOGIST ON 27K A YEAR hey she may as well have $40 x $40 on a racehorse and hope for the best .
you have to create a standard mate ------if yu got no bux / no security ! then what are you offering to life ???? hmm good point huh !
BE prepared - now i dont even think il bother to read your posts mate in future --you come across as Mr Condemnation !
IF SOMEBODY DOES OK ON HEAR IN COMES NASFAN WITH THE BUCKET OF ICE WATER ''OHH GOD'' HE CRIES ! WE CANT HAVE ANYBODY GET AHEAD CAN WE !
YOU GOT TO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS -
IAM CAME ON HEAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO OR MORE WITH THE VIEW TOTALLY TO HELP A FEW FOLKS I KNOW IVE MANAGED TO DO THAT !
IVE HAD COUPLE ROUGH TROTS SO HAVE MANY -SO LOGIC WOULD TELL YOU CONSTRUCTIVELY PUT YOUR HEADS TOGETHER TRY WORK OUT - THE OBJECT OF IT ALL .
NOW if 6/7 blokes compare there worries cross match there info you can normally see where they went wrong -------so you dont go (( as you do ) on the condemnation trail put the poor blokes right into the gutter --------no your supposed to help each other - derr !!
Or is this forum just a giant hate session with a ""broken hour glass"" = it just goes on forever .
Go back to the start ok what are we dealing with hear? ok a largely impoverished race of mostly good folks ( russia ukraine ) .
all on hear whom want to marry and give a bird a go in life are trying to do exactly that ! many need guidence ( hey we all started somewhere ) we were all thier once ! true !
the ones whom dont want to marry are not ''leppers either "" everybody has thier own destiny they'l do as they please .
Its a huge culture difference between uncle sams USA aussie , pommy land , scotland few other places where men alight there homeland to both get away from ( the trailer trash western women - part of the me me and me only brigade = suks ) and try and find a certain happiness !
ok we have established the common goal !.
We dont want miss materialistic do we ? we can all go broke on our own !misery comes in the same parcel !!!!
So we all try and work em out in all ways from $$$ to living, to extracting them from homeland = everybody has a different vice.
No 2 people on hear are the same -------the Senators of this forum are indeed the ones whom have done you know 3 plus trips lived there a month or 3 then you really get to see how the wheels turn - you learn by that .
YOU MAKE 60 MISTAKES ----- but its all part of the process ! most humans learn by thier mistakes.
nobody benifits in any way by sledging of at the next poor sole sure correct him in humour !but thats exactly what it is --------of course unless you can't see that part !
You cant take life to serious mate tomorrow could be your last sunshine so you live it to the full !
To correct 1 thing you said of my post recently MIKE OUT TO IMPRESS how wrong you are mate Mike's out to bring his dear up to western standards --that is purely all it is !
If a person has the disposables to do it for her and he wants to and it makes his day ! is that a crime --according to NASFAN IT IS !
have a think mate long long and hard ! would you like to live as basic as 90% of the women do thier --------il bet you would not give up your golf clubs for your other half ! but i would ! no problem --called 50/ 50 the share syndrome sadly not many on hear ! can see equality for both him and her ! so sad !
some can see it --barfly has it correct Adman in many ways too , navareman he did a very brave thing - dived into a restricted area town , 1st time up and made it work - that rarely happens - i take my hat off to him ! and several others .
The ''dark siders on hear '' Aussieman ( iam ashamed of him ) venchekka!! ohh get yourself a root for god sake !and a bloke called NASFAN are in charge of the bathtub full of freezing water --
This is used liberally when a bloke makes a post he's kicked a goal with a blonde and he's happy - wants to share his joy ''with whom be is led to believe are in fact his mates ''
in comes Calvin and the ice bucket brigade ! whom then set out to totally destroy the poor bloke !
Question -- why do they do it?
Answer -----because they can and they delight in it .
Again Mike you base a relationship on the buck. No money no security? Maybe there's more to life than the almighty dollar. Nice thing is your printed English gets better when your pissed. At least we know that's all a joke.
Again, Mike it's not how much you make but what you do with what you make. There's this 40k guy, who's a high net worth investor with over 500k in investments, did it by saving, so according to your model, he shouldn't be looking for an FSU bride, he also doesn't drop the dime on how much he spends on his trips, doesn't have to buy his love, then I know another guy who is a doctor, who didn't even tell his fiance, now wife how much he made. Interesting, neither of them talked much about how much bucks they dropped on a trip. The bottom line, anyone getting involved in this, if they don't know how expensive it's going to be, shouldn't be here in the first place. That's just called common sense, which Voltaire observed years ago, isn't that common.
Kicking you Mike, nah, not my sport but refuting nonsense, if that's kicking well so be it. I'm not part of the PC crowd, never will be.
you dont get the message mate in your head the lights are on -but there is nobody home?? you missed the point on everything i said -------of course its not based on the dollar mate.
what iam saying in a nutshell is you can't be a bum and play in FSU -NOW I DONT CARE if yu mate has 600k invested if your on 40k a year - mate you dont even go to the plane . paper money investments asetts -they aint no good to you in russia mate if your bux are invested in kentucky so to speak !
it means diddly squat .....i do plenty with what i make i own my joint in russia!!! --do you ?
i own everything ive got mate and a plate full left over so read it and weep ay !
common sence yes you ARE CORRECT THERE but men are drivin by twat common sence gets left at home in case you have not noticed that over there --------Morons with a dollar are a dime a dozen .
all i ever see in the way of westerners in russia --are brokies all arrived with 6k life savings all sobbin cause they reackon they got robbed )80% ive met are from usa = never been out of the forest you know what i mean -i can see now its a waste of time trying to educate em .
mike00
ps if there is more to life than the $$$$ try live in russia for 6 months with no $$ see how long yu last hmm !! dollar rules sorry its sad but its the only game in town - !
its a stark reality --no free lunches in life nasfan -never was - never will be - man / woman pays in all ways through life - money not important ay? - try survive without it --------give me a yell if you need a loan .
the only person on this site who has any idea what they are talking about is aussieman41... everything you say about FSU woman and adapting to western culture is precise...100%
LOL Mikey, I don't need a loan. 40k can't find a woman in FSU. You are really wrong. As for owning a joint in Russia, I'm not that big of an idiot. Since the stability in the Russian government cannot be trusted, I'll invest my bucks home. Also, many invetments have instant liquidity. If I need money, all I need to do is make a phone call or use my computer and I have cash. Your analysis of living in Russia without money carrys no merit.
The issue at hand is you, more or less bragging on how much money you drop on the birds. I don't think it's a crime to spend money on your lady, that's you business, it is a bit silly to brag about it in the forum. Almost bordering stupid since many scammers read these things and guys who are making 40-50k think it's impossible because Mike00 says don't even get on the plane. Common sense dictates that you can't live anywhere decent without some form of money. Money is an excellent servant but a terrible master. Also any guy who thinks this is going to be an inexpensive journey is a fool first of all. I wouldn't be willing to prop up Navarreman as the poster child of success quite yet. When he's married to her and living here for a while then success is somewhat at hand. I'm not even successful yet. It's a work in process.
Also then come complaining in here how the family is now trying to leech off of you now. You created that environment. Then to slam an entire people as being on the take is also a bit disingenious. If you didn't create that enviroment, then how would they know they could get it so easy?
As for giving up for my other half. I would give my life up for my other half and not think twice about it, would you? That's better than any money that can be offered.
So when you make the freezing bathtub comment, you haven't a clue what the hell you're talking about. You make comments on women leaving their country won't work. It's easy to stay in their country and play the big shooter. What's the fear, that they will come to your home and find out you just a normal guy like many others? If you're honest and upfront it won't make any difference to your mate. So beleive what you want mate, I know many here in the states that aren't running back home. That met honest guys who didn't try to be anyone but themselves. Who are doing well.
As for supporting peoples success I endorse it highly, it's funny how the crybabies come on and say, since you disagree with me, you don't want anyone too succeed. That's just bullshit. The group that I was with in the beginning of this, most of them were successful. Though I know a few that aren't happy here and they were the one's that made one trip, either got married in Ukraine or shortly thereafter and didn't take time to learn their culture and expectations. Then we have to deal with the idiots looking for the 1000 dollar a night apartments just to create shock in the forum. Most of the high rollers who write like high rollers are mere pikers in the order of things. Most guys with heavy freight in their wallets don't talk about it much.
