Since most of the women in these websites are from Ukraine, let us look at Ukraine data.
In the CIA World Factbook, there 1.06 males to every female born. At ages 15-64, there are 15,443,818 males in 2008, and 16,767,931 females. That means there are 1,324,113 females or one out of every 12.66 females without a partner.
The ratio is not as big as I thought or was led to believe, but I think it is still big. What happened to these men? They say that they are sent to wars, oil fields, they drink too much and also sent to oil fields. Does this account for the difference?
I know one girl who had an older brother. He lived in a village outside the city, and apparently was a very heavy drinker. At age 42 he got drunk, fell down, hit his head, and died. It was a tragedy, but when he died no one seemed particularly shocked by how it happened.
Obviously, there are many causes of death, but I'm sure that years of hard drinking and smoking shorten men's lives more than women's lives.
I have a friend. About 16 years ago, he drank too much, fell down and hit the back of his head on a rock. He stopped breathing. All it took was four quick mouth to mouth breathing from another friend. My friend lives, quite healthy, and very very grateful to my other friend who saved him. I also read one time that CPR could have saved Lincoln. That's getting off the subject, but I think this is important.
RB......who on this site frickin cares about anyone above age 35 for women. If you had any statistics for women 18-34 I would be interested. Seems to me, as one gets older in ukraine, the ratio of women to men increases substancially...that without needing any studies!!!!!!!!
Tell you what...you wonder about the men...and I'll think about the women!!!! Kay? ;-))
That's the only research available, beemer. I am not going to look for another.
How many threads on this website do you not care about? Why did you see it fit to answer this one?
There are hundreds of thousands of women in these websites, if not millions. Dunromin says that the ratio is near 50-50. If he is right, then a very large percentage of these women are not there to look for mates. They are scammers.
Men are the fathers, brothers and friends of the women that we are seeking to marry. Who they care about and what happened to them should be of importance. I think it would be prudent for us to learn their ways and to know what will make our wives happy. Except of course, we should survive.
Rb...over the years there have been some that I did not care about or should I say further my knowledge of culture of FSU. I don't put much weight on the men in ukraine, that is not a major obsticle. I am looking for a girl with an open mind that is sincere in looking for her partner, whether that be a local or a foreigner. I think biggest problem is to find a girl that loves you enough to leave her country. Girls are closest to their mums and grandmums, that is of importance.........I don't remember a girl saying much about her father or brothers.....of course, just IMHO..........
"There are hundreds of thousands of women in these websites, if not millions. Dunromin says that the ratio is near 50-50. If he is right, then a very large percentage of these women are not there to look for mates. They are scammers."
RB, whats the ratio in your country? Probably more women than men, so does that make YOU a scammer?
"There are hundreds of thousands of women in these websites, if not millions. Dunromin says that the ratio is near 50-50. If he is right, then a very large percentage of these women are not there to look for mates. They are scammers."
Sorry but that logic is very flawed. The reason there are so many women looking for foreign men is partly social and partly economic: as a woman ages in ukraine her desirability for local wealthy men falls off exponentially as she reaches her late 20's/early 30's and plummets to near zero if she has a kid or two in tow (which is a very high proportion of them). The economic factors are that yes the FSU countries are comparatively poor and that there is in general no "comfortably off professional middle class" so few of them will ever be able to earn enough (or have a partner who earns enough ..) to have their own apartment/car/foreign holidays/designer clothes/etc. So unless a girl manages to bag a wealthy local business owner or mobster by the time shes 25 then shes pretty much condemned to to a life of scratching a living, probably living with parents etc. Of course many many of the girls are happy to live this way but the ones on the web sites are the ones that arn't ...
Beemer said -- “who on this site frickin cares about anyone above age 35 for women”
Me and a few other SUCESSFUL ones on here !!!!!!!!!
My wife was 38 when we 1st hooked up. I was 47
I am not going to go into a long story with all details about her qualities – but without ANY exaggeration – she is perfect in EVERY way !!!!
I never thought I would say one day, that a women could be so perfect.
I suppose there are those men that want to find the perfect match and those that want to find the perfect ?????? picture ??????? No, not sure
I like to see my wife using her skills to do other things beside pushing cell phone buttons and sleeping. Making things happen and no dreaming about them happening !!
Anyway – I think you get the picture / my point !!!!!!!!!
I don't get your logic, Oldman. I have not called anyone a scammer, at least not in this thread. Why am I one? I have read several times that these women cannot find a mate in their country. To some extent, it has been proven by these statistics. I am just saying that it is true.
Thanks for the answer, Bassuk. That sounds logical for many women. But is it not also true that cannot many also cannot find a mate? If we are to assume that all women 15-64 are looking for mates, there will be 1,324,113 that will not find one.
Hey maxi...OOPS.......you know I really meant over 38!!! :))) And in the next few days, it'll be 41 !!!!!! ;-))))
Glad you have found the perfect girl...for you!!! To be honest, age really doesn't matter to me but I seem to find most of my girls in 25-32 range. Wouldn't mind having another child, so younger is better...for me. Only ventured once with an older lady, she was 38 and very nice but too many differences, seems I have more in common with the younger girls....which is fine with me!!!!
Hey RB......it would be interesting if your statistics could be broken down more, like 15-40 and 41-65. My thought is that these two groups would be completely different...maybe even your 1,324,113 extra girls are late 40's to early 60's. 'Early bird' specials for when I am nearing the century mark!!!!
For comparative purposes, let us answer Oldman's question.
In the United States in 2008, there were 102,161,823 females and 101,825,925 males. There is a surpluss of 335,898 females. That means one out of 301.14 females will not find a mate.
We are getting off the subject. What happened to these men?
Well, beemer, why if it's the other way? Let's say the bulk of these women are 18-30. Again, I will not look for such statistics, but I have observed it so. In Kiev, Yalta and Zaporozhye, I have observed most of the women, walking in the streets to be that age, at least three to one, I would say.
I must say something about women in their 40s or even 50s. Many of them are also in the websites. There are not as much of them in the websites, but they are also lovely.
Bearing in mind that more men serve in the militaries than do women it could be that figures are still catching up, whilst still being affected, on fatalities suffered since WWII and this affects Americans, Russians, whatever.
And ..... How many of those 102,161,823 females are aged over, circa, 75 whereas their male partner has since passed on?
CPR could have saved Lincoln? Yeah and the tooth fairy is going to leave 100G under my pillow tonight. CPR is used for non breathing or assisted breathing. Lincolns head wound was mortal from inception, even by todays modern medicine.
Bada Bing Maxirat you know the drill all too well!!!
Sorry, Mr. Coleman. I should have stated they were ages 15-64.
You're right, Nasfan. I shouldn't believe everything I read. Pressure on the woulnd stops bleeding, not CPR. Head wounds usually, but not all are deadly.
First you did say in this thread "They are scammers" regarding the large numbers of ladies online compared to the ratio of men to women in their country.
Second, what happened to these men? Starts out with a slight birth advantage for women, followed by increasing death rates for men, but mostly guys that figure out they dont need to be married anymore to be happy.
well I am new at this but here is what I observed. In Sumy every place I went museum, market, out to eat and so on. I observed very few men the only place I really seen any was when we were shooting pool. In Kyiv every 50 meters or so was a man in uniform on the road and side walk. I wonder if the men migrate to the big city's for work. I have also noticed the lady's 25 and up seem to be more serious and mature.
the women have a longer life span than men wouldnt this then add to the female count not that there is more women but men have died in their late 50,s 60,s while the women are still around till 70,s
