I'm a woman from russia and I have been in US for last 3,5 years.
I came to this site just out of curiosity, because lot of my girlfriens back home keep asking me to find some guy for them here, but I don't even know a bachelor who would spend money to go to russia to meet some girl...
Are you really thinking of finding a wife here someday?
No, most don't expect to find anything here (forum) but for info.
However, that info just might be used to form a better opinion about the question if 'finding' someone there is possible, and many really go over for a visit now & then (some often even) to try their luck, push it, or maybe simply in the hope to get lucky.
The latter catagory of men is apparently abundant, but I've got the impression that those more serious tend to read / post on forums like this. They are serious instead of just looking for fun.
But why do you ask? Surely you also must have heard about relations between foreign men and women of your country, and if so, where do you think those who did their homework got (some of) their info from?
And really many bachelors will spend plenty to go there, notwithstanding the sometimes high cost. But all in all this kind of concept is not a cheap one, and many starting out fail to realize this.
However, there’s another thing you might not realize. Some of those bachelors you know, if not most, are reluctant to admit they’re long-distance dating. Some people tend to find it funny, and there’s some stigma attached to ‘Russian Bride’s’ for some as well.
So, Gala, maybe some of those guys already DO – why not ask them straight?
They only can say no ;-))
I really wish you luck, there are many nice girls back home. And if you have time and finances to travel there, well, lucky those girls - there is someone who wants to meet them that much.
I will probably post my friends pictures here, because they don't have internet access back home, maybe they will meet someone they would be happy with.
And have a wonderfull valentines day.. I red somewhere here, that girls back home don't know this holiday - not true, it is not in our tradition to celebrate it, because we have 8th of march(Women's day), but who would not like to have another excuse to celebrate their love (even if it have not come yet :) )
I'm married to foreigner too, not through any agency though, and couldn't wish to have better husband and in-laws and the life I have now.
I do not know about posting such information in this forum. It might be better to send them directly to those interested. [my e-mail is: krand8@netzero.com] Unless Olga would want to make some arrangement...
I didn't mean to post them on forum, I ment to register them on the main site. But I changed my mind.. My husband told me that recently he read in newspaper that many russian girls are invited to some countries as brides and then forced to be prostitutes. It mostly happens in europe and middle east. I'm sure most of you here are not planning anything like that, but I just don't feel good about doing it anymore.
Clever hubby you’ve got. Indeed many are invited to go somewhere, and apparently many also go. That’s another reason why anybody normal should visit her first, and then still there is no guarantee that he’s got honest intentions. However, a live visit from him to her should, at a bare minimum, show some of his character.
You posting your friends, even when on request, would ultimately leave you responsible in some way, and I can understand why you would not like that. Also, and let’s be honest here, they could all do it themselves, an I-cafe can be found anywhere, so if they really want to…
Lady Moderator,
I seem unable to find a recent thread in which a woman asks for help to get married to a Lebanese in the Netherlands. It was fishy when I read it (just days ago), but taken the above into account you may want to mail her? If not I will, pls mail me her Eddress (I think you’ve removed the thread?), I am quite familiar with that country.
Gala, they would have to do all that themselves anyway. I agree that ladies have to be very careful about the men they choose, there are many people out there up to no good. Plus I don't know how you met your husband, but in my estimation, if the man is not willing to take the first step and go to her country where she can meet him and be comfortable in her own environment then he is not worth her time. If he goes she can see his personality and how he acts in many situations. Then she can make a clear decision of what she wants to do.
