Many men who come on the internet looking for FSU girls will not have the necessary income to afford multiple personal visits to FSU to meet the girls or the time to do it ( to get leave from work ) or be able to afford the costs/time involved in going through the "fiance visa system"
Thats one of the main reasons why about 4% of men who write to these FSU internet dating/marriage agency girls will do the personal visits.
Other reasons are scammers, FSU girls who go on the internet for joke and are not serious, girls that really have no intention to leave the FSU or the letter writing just fizzles out and goes nowhere.
In Australia, if you are a tradesman ( plumber,electrician, carpenter etc. ) you might get a salary on average of $60,000 a year before tax is taken out. When you consider, that from Australia, one single personal visit to an FSU country will cost in the vicinity of $15,000 to $20,000, 3 to 4 months of a tradies salary,how many men could really afford it and a tradesman salary is about 30% more than the average wage for Australia.
Being a tradie driving a tool box on wheels will not cut it!
You are really going to need a six figure salary to be able to afford this FSU bride finding business, $100,000 a year or more and for that you need to be a:
1. Specialist doctor in private practice
2. CEO of a middle to large organisation
3. A lawyer or partner in a good law firm
4. Owner of a medium to large business
Over 70% of mens pay packets in Australia are too poor to do this!
$15,000 to $20,000 ???
Aussi perhaps you could give us a breakdown of these costs?
Being a kiwi I do not know how to spend so much money.
I spent about $6000 last trip and that was the two of us doing the tourist thing in St Petersburg. Probably the biggest cost is time off work, but you have to have a holiday sometime.
I got a feeling Nas and the gang are going to rip into you for starting this thread, and your wonderful ability to pluck perecentages & figures outta the air.
Try asking how much Aussie has spent on his 'trips' to FSU. From what I gather of his many posts on this forum, it has got to be multiple times. $ 15000-$20000 ??? Maybe he was talking about hryvnas or better yet...rubles!!!
I calculate $1500-2000 Aus for flights. Even if you stay 3 months you could have accommodation for $3000 Aus. Food you can't include as you would eat at home anyway but for 3 months could be $1500 Aus. Add in say $3500 for entertainment.
For 3 months thats $10,000 Aus. And I don't assume hes thinking about staying that long.
Maybe hes assuming he going to be taken on a few shopping trips.
aussieman waffling on yet again..........the great traveller spews forth more of his own BS.
By all means have a point of view but back it up with some substance.........like actually making the trip!!
Aussieman.........you are living proof that in the wrong hands a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
