Would a genuine guy say that he loves a girl and needs her after some facebook chatting and a few phone conversations? To me it is a sign that he’s: a) delusional b) insincere c) thinks the girl is stupid. Neither is a good sign. Maybe someone can offer a fresh perspective on this and I’m missing something. And another question, why do some guys try to sweet talk a girl with tons of romantic bs and try to elicit romantic responses from her, when there is NO WAY there can be any real chemistry at that point. Is there anyone who would view the long distance aspect as an opportunity to win the girl over with some intelligence and/or humor? I also wonder if there is someone more or less reserved among those seeking intercultural marriage. Thanks!
arr yes i tried this with Kylie Minogue, but yeah,, i dunno what the answer is..
maybe you are right, them Aussies are a bit different..
"but i do love her"
shama-lama-ding-dong, I'd have to say he is delusional. What do I win?
What prompts a young lady to tell a man she loves him or he is the forever one etc after the first correspondence? She: a)is insincere b)thinks the man is stupid c) is a scammer. Correct, all of the above.
"Would a genuine guy say..." No, unless he is (as you say) delusional. Of course, it is human nature that people very often deceive ourselves, into believing things that we wish were true.
"Is there anyone who would view the long distance aspect as an opportunity..." Of course, men normally try to impress a woman they are interested in. If (at least, in the beginning) there is only long-distance communication, I would expect many men to try to "win the girl" using intelligence and humor.
I believe (and in fact, many biologists believe) that it is instinctive, for women to prefer men who can make good providers and protectors. Expressions of intelligence, caring, creativity, and ability to provide food, shelter etc. are a natural response to this.
"I also wonder if there is someone more or less reserved..." Perhaps I don't understand this question. Are you asking, whether there is much variation in shyness, or boldness, among men seeking intercultural marriage? If so, the answer is: konechno est'! Some of the men are very, very shy ... and this is an important reason why they start communication by internet. Other men are very forward and self-confident.
From my own experience: I once had several months of long-distance communication with a woman who needed some time, before she was ready to meet. During that time, I became really fond of her and thought of us as friends; I expressed such affection (by Skype). This was not romantic love. And when nakonets we met, we did not find the chemistry. But my experience is not typical ... ya tol'ko durak.
To,,,,,,, oh, forget it!
I would say this guy learned from the women on these sites!!! With a large percentage of women on-line,,, you need to wear high boots!!! The BS gets deep!
As for me,,,, I don't start writing unless I develope a fair amount of fondness for the girl!! I will be checking her info out for over a week, google search, checking other websites, etc! If I am still fond of her and her photo,,,, I might just write to her??!!
Can a guy fall in love without meeting??? Perhaps,,,, but it is more likely to be lust!!
Ralph, you don’t win because you didn’t get my name right lol women scammers aren’t news, but I must say I’ve run into some shady men out there… :)
D, wow I’m impressed! You must tell me your name now, I can’t call you the “D” word after you’ve figured out my real name so brilliantly. Being a good provider is just about as biologically attractive in a male for a female as good physique is in a female for a male. The fact that some people are willing to settle for less doesn’t undermine the importance of this. The best provider gets the hottest girl :) jk it isn’t necessarily true.
By “more or less reserved” I didn’t mean shy, no! By no means am I looking for someone who is afraid of everything. Inaction fails (something uncharacteristic of a good provider :)) I was talking more about social graces and manners. Someone who takes being human as possessing mind power as opposed to possessing natural instincts. Someone who keeps you guessing whether or not he views you as a sexual object rather that saying it upfront all the time. Not a prude but someone wise enough to realize that displaying too much sexuality in public can make people around them uncomfortable. Nevertheless confident at all times. Am I asking too much?
I’m sorry about your bad experience. I’ve had disappointments too. I put up a profile on one dating site (not this one) and I was getting so many weird messages I had to remove it. Now I’m not on any website and don’t really want to be.
it has been advised often to men that a relationship (an assumed relationship) is nothing until you meet in person. it is only until you spend time with another person can one even fathom the idea of "love" or positive chemistry. I can only assume you are speaking from experience for yourself or another that some Joe professed his love after merely spending a short period of time writing letters.
I can say positively that there are men who are quite advanced in culture and intelligence who are searching for a woman from another land. the reasons are not relative to the fact that there are reasonable gentlemen with good intentions who are seeking to find a bright, witty and intelligent lady. one is in the hopes that she be above average in every way. some men are seeking a younger model type lady to boost their ego. others are looking for the same just for satisfaction. and others are just plain disgusted with the quality of women available to them in their own land. the reasons are limitless. the fact that there are very good men with above average intelligence and means searching should be enough that a lady does not have to settle for any man that comes along. and to be sure, those men do not profess love to lady they have not spent time with.
just as many women think with their vagina as men think with their 'other head'
of course they also think with their ability to buy clothes, have a new BMW, have a house that's bigger than their hi-school friends and to be sure, think about how their man looks in society. of course there are more women than that who want nothing more than a good man - they too also think with their vagina.
face it, what's good for the goose is also good for the gander...
why do men cheat? because they can
why do women cheat? because their man sucks in bed...
oh, before you all chastise me... a satisfied woman is a happy woman. unless she has other demons...
In the sense that you meant "reserved," the men are "all over the map" (every imaginable variation). If you do some reading in this forum, you can see that some men are quite gracious, others very crude.
I have spoken with women who had dating-site profiles, who received photos from men of their "private parts." Apparently, these men believed that this would make a favorable impression !?!?!?!?
As for my bad experience ... it wasn't at all bad, only a little sad. She's a sweet girl, and I'm glad that I met her.
Durak's true name is a carefully protected secret ... so I will tell you by pm (private message on) this forum ;)
ha! duraks's real name is RALPH. I had you all fooled this whole time.
But what is really true is that for some strange reason, my posts appear instantly and days later everything in between shows up. so there is a huge disconnect between how my messages are perceived. Masha, you didn't get the joke. shama-lama-ding-dong is a reference to an old movie. and I didn't even try to figure out your name. it appears as a tongue twister to those of us who know no russian.
But I hope you do not lose faith that there are actually very good men available out there. I'd say the percentages are the same as the number of honest girls on anastasia.
Ugh it says I can’t read my private messages until my “profile changes have been approved”. Whatever those are. Anyways, Ranger – it’s Mariya. You are probably right…but why would I want to get to know someone who learns bs from Ukrainian scammers.
Ralph, “But I hope you do not lose faith that there are actually very good men available out there. I'd say the percentages are the same as the number of honest girls on anastasia.”—hahahahahaha good one :) you are not being very encouraging.
D, I like to translate that proverb like this: Masha is fine but she’s not mine. My translator friend came up with that translation. It is not word for word but captures the one meaning very well. The second one is for “ne nasha” is – not from around here. Which I am not. At least for you all on here ;)
I also wonder if there is someone more or less reserved among those seeking intercultural marriage.
of cause there is but if you were reserved, this soon disappears to some extent i would think, or its just a long road of searching.
percentage of first letters are basically about getting though some important questions fast to see if theres a possible good connection or compatibility yes.
been reserved falls into the trap of thousands of letters put to for more then likely nothing, been a waste of time.
questions in a round about way or with humour is something i would think is rather normal.
and then theres been blunt "to the point".
this type of person could be as you stated a) delusional b) insincere c) thinks the girl is stupid
or just stupid himself.
or is looking for something very very particular in a persons character and is far from stupid,, again its a time thing,, doesn't want to deal with thousands of letters and doesn't need to.
he could be fishing to see what your character reveals if such questions are answered, answering bluntness can be very revealing of your character, can be nothing to do with the question put to you, but how you answered it (meaning even if you answered it) the creepy side of the world yes.
the world is full of interesting types, some are predators, small or in a large way, they are all after something very particular, more so in a persons character (make up) that enables them to do what ever they do.. eg able to do physical abuse.
sorry i didnt take your questions seriously,, thought you were a guy having guy problems:)
Mariya! Any man who has been on these sites, either has learned a lot of "BS" or is in the learning process???!!! Maybe the bs is getting too deep on his side of the computer, and he is just shoveling some back over???!!
We never believe anyone, who says they love us, in just a few letters!! It's a bad sign!! Time to move on!!!
hahahahaha those danny/dunny kids both crack me up :) although I confuse which one is which. this must have taken some effort to write! I'm flattered each time someone writes a poem about me... so far I like Durak's and Ralph's replies best ;)
kiwinorth, I try to be as blunt and to the point as I can be, but not banal! there is a huge difference. no worries, I think we all should take ourselves less seriously. the rest of your message hasn't gone through to me yet. I might have to re-read your post a few times because I'm a little too blonde to get it the first time I read it(see I'm not taking myself seriously! haha :))
Masha, I am curious. Are you the Mariya who spent time in USA last year/year before who has friends in NYC? Also went to California for a period of time????
Okay - there are probably many more men with serious intentions than the gals on anastasia. But of those, there are the many skeptics and delusional ones who do not necessarily fall into the same category. The delusional ones think all they have to do is to pic a photo and "walla"!!! The skeptics have too much experience with failure. And a good percentage of those are delusional thinking that if they keep trying they will eventually hook up with that model chick on the cover of SI.
Overall I'd say there are many good men seeking a life partner who have good intentions, are intelligent and have the means to support an above average lifestyle. The trick is to weed them out.
