I really enjoy reading all of the posts on this site. There are a few negative posts that I have to ask, "What were you thinking?". Other posts I have to ask, "How is this different from dating any woman from any country?". I read one post that told of his wife leaving him after two years. Does this not happen with U.S. women? She claimed abuse and attempted to issue a restraining order. Again, does this not happen with U.S. women? It has not happened to me because I am looking at getting married for the first time. It may happen. I hope not, but I am not about to say every woman from her country is a gold digging bxxtch. This is like saying that all American men are rednecks that drink beer all day and beat there wives. My point is that such gross generalizations are ridiculous. Use the same common sense you would use while dating a local woman. If you are 63 and she is a 22 year old American girl, what would be the likelihood that she would date you? If so, what is the likelihood that she wants your money? It doesn't change when you are looking elsewhere. There are reasons that this girl says that she wants you. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but there are a few men on here that did treat there wives like shXX. Once again, it is a gross generalization to say that ALL U.S. men are manipulative controlling wife abusers. I have had American girls give me hard luck stories of why they need money, and I delete there number. This is before there is a deep relationship. In the end, the problem may be our individual criteria we use to choose women. Use your common sense. Get a woman near your age. You will have more in common with this woman any way. Do not tell her of the great amounts of money you make. Do not show her pictures of the wonderful boats or cars you own. There are some women on these sites that will quit talking to you. This is the girl you should be after, but you just ran her off. Honestly, if she looks like a supermodel, then why would she pick you. Every guy on the website is writing her. I am not saying I have this all figured out, but some of this seems like common sense.
Very right words.!!!!!!! Actually, the most of russians(and from sov.c) consider foreign mens not so perfect as it claimed on the different web sites and agensies(marriage).The most of fsu(Former Soviet Union? as i could understand this word) consider foreign men (espesially american) greedy, heartless, not romantic,considering that R wife must be grateful to F husband for life in your country and having more money, using them as servant and prostitute,beating their RUSSIAN wives.(but at the same time you are considered as very good fathers and valueing family)Eurepian are famous as taking away cchilds(all of fsu know about france man, which beated his wife took away their daughter,then mockted at her, court took the girl from him to shelter, the mother was allowed to see her 1 time a week and wasn't allowed to speak russian with daughter!!!! the girl was 5 then and she was France and Russian citizen)We know many, many stories like this and more bad .Everybody many times saw/heard the news about the next russian girl,killed or haskneyed by her (most american) husband.This is the STRONG belief in fsu that you are all looking for our girls to use them.The TV shows/speak it regulaly.
And now- do think, please who will want a future like this?
Why there are a lot of scammers on sites?
Because good woman,which can love, wants family doesn't want this.
And this is the easy way for scammers- easy money,pleasure.
Look at so called "wow" girls:
Do you think, that normal girl will show her body in the sea to thousands of "may be husbands"
Or will show her her legs and pants in 10 sm skirt
Which person wants to be "loved" for her/his body,beaty,youth?
=
Do you want to be loved for your money?
About fsu woman (not scammers but really "wanting" F husband) i have many to write too, but later
Ves,,, Please tell me,,, what other country in the world created a law specifically for protecting foreign women from abusive men???? I’m speaking of IMBRA!
Since you are a FSU woman,, can you explain the stories we hear about Russian women beating or starving their children as a punishment!!
Or,, the stories we hear on the news about Russian women leaving their foreign husbands once they get their Green card!!
Or,, the stories of men being poisoned and killed just to get ALL of their money,,, not having to settle for half!!!
We also hear a lot of stories about FSU women being forced in to porn, prostitution, and slave labour ,,, by other FSU people!!!!
I don't accuse f men of anysing.
i just want to explain that our mass media shows f men as i have written and good honest women are afraid to be "post wife"
And it is very difficult or even quite impossible to find in agenses and web sites good women.
There are the woman, that want to use f men as a tiskets to better life.
and then they do all the things you have described
I know it, and everybody in fsu knows it very well!!
IMBRA is short for International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. It is a law passed in the United States that says basically :
If you are A US citizen, and you are using an agency to meet prospective wives, you must undergo a criminal background check and provide your criminal history (if any) to any woman you plan to meet, before meeting (her/him).
It's interesting that (as fas as I know) Marrige agencies will gladly let you (for a fee) become aquainted with a lady and not bring up the IMBRA until you have actually made plans to meet with a woman (women). Then, the criminal history is given to the lady.
In my Opinion, The IMBRA should be the first thing done by any agency, that way, there are no surprises to anyone later on.
Ves,,, you are making statements and accusations about foreign men,,, mostly Americans!!
Do you believe everything you hear on TV?? I don’t,,, but we hear many things about Russian women,, especially those who marry for a Green Card! Not all of it can be proven,, but often enough it is!!
All over the world,, mass media or the new media sensationalize the news! More people seem to watch it!
Look at your election troubles in Russia,,, Putin’s defense is to blame America!! He does that a lot, but the people aren’t falling for it this time.
The claims or statements I made are true,, but I mostly wrote them to counteract the statements you made,,, to show that you can’t believe everything you hear or read!! But what you wrote as a reply confirms my claims!!
“And it is very difficult or even quite impossible to find in agenses and web sites good women. “
Where do you suggest men go to find good honest women??
NewJ,,,, Thanks!! I was hoping I didn’t need to be the one who explained IMBRA!!
To me,,,, it’s a good and bad law all in one!! Sure,, it’s good to protect the women,, although Australia could use this more than the US. But I think they should pass another law, demanding mandatory background checks on the women!!! Who is consistently on the losing end of the stick here???!!!
The reason is- the belief that mostly men sadists come to agensies.
Where do you suggest men go to find good honest women??
1) Come and live in FSU for a while.
But mostly it' s impossible.
2)Use FSU local acquaitance web sites.(Ìîé Ìèð+ Îäíîêëàññíèêè)I looked there- from America the most registed men- russians.You can choose there the country you want.
Now there are 5 985 000people.Most of them i think- FSU.
I dont know if in vkontakte is acquaintance-servise.If it is- why not?
I don't claim that there are very honest ones.But the amount of scammers lower than in F sites.And there are the women really looking for MEN , not for GREENKARD
Ves,,, Yes, it could very well be impossible to check out every woman and every man!! The IMBRA law or rules, helps prevent bad men from America from finding a foreign woman.
She could be his first??? He could be her first too!!!
What we need is an agency and website that is honest!! But it would only be a matter of time, if they were able to create a good reputation, to be swarmed by scammers!! To me, scammers are like bacteria and viruses,,, they learn to adapt and mutate into a better, stealthier scammer!!!
Do you know a lot of men from your country, that could move here and find women???
Any good honest man is home working!! If a guy has all kinds of time to search and take his time doing so,,,, why doesn’t he look in his own country?????
I don’t know if Vk has a dating site,, but I found one via Vk!! Love Planet! Even if you (everyone) choose not to use it,,, take some time and look at profiles!! They look a little more normal, than what the big name dating sites have to offer!!
very few americans have the luxury of leaving a "job" for a few months let alone a year. america is different than austrailia. unless you are a business owner who can keep an income from others you must work. if I were to leave my job for a year, I would leave my job period. those who can just pick up and go are probably retired and therefore up in years. so a guy of reasonable age who has to work for a living cannot fit into your skewed way of thinking danny42. whether or not he can afford it does not come into play - unless he is independently wealthy... A working man depends on his employment for medical benefits. the only people in america who get free medical are those with serious disabilities (of one kind or another) and those who are freeloading off the taxes I pay - at last count around 40K a year.
it is mostly men with real "jobs" that are seeking women in this manner. whether or not you are just posturing as usual and want to stir up an argument, or that you are totally clueless about reality I can only guess. it is a different reality you live in.
anyway, the same old crap goes on. happy new year!!!
anyway... this Vesnovka.... I believe this person is just trying to make a point. whether or not she (?) is speaking from experience or just generalizing is tough to know. maybe both? to Ves, lonelyranger makes valid counterpoints to your messages. surely he has been a bit crude about it sometimes. but he is absolutely right. it is unfortunate what a terrible game (american men seeking foreign women) this has become. and to be sure, many women of your ilk have cashed in on the opportunities to take advantage of unsuspecting men. I can only surmise that for every man who cries foul there are ten who are too embarrassed about it to let on it happened to them. I recall receiving unsolicited correspondence from very many young girls - bikini clad - telling me I am the man they want. I was wise enough to dismiss it and laugh it off. but surely there are many gullible men out there who fall for this kind of sh6t. it happens much more you are willing to admit. and, unfortunately, to most they only know what they see in an advertisement for these "hot russian women seeking foreign men" dating sites. they read all the propaganda and believe most of it - until it is too late and they are out a few thousand bucks. I assure you that most men seeking are not selfish money counters. but after having been taken for a ride, their radar (skepticism) is way up. and they tend to be very careful.
DUNT,,, Oh yes,,, do be careful not to take a stab at anyone!!!!
Ralph?? That’s not quite the way I would put it,, but close enough! How I write is sometimes determined by how late it is! Even late at night, I still have correspondence to take care of,,, or things to do around the home. If I log into the forum, and see a lot of B$, (mostly by the dunt),, I can get annoyed at the wasted time!!
Very few men indeed!! A word that few people know today is,,,, “Responsibility”!!!!! We have a family business, it is open 7 days a week, from 9:00 am till dark!! From time to time,, we will have people calling at midnight,, We are heading home, and forgot to stop in,,, could you open your shop??? Unless everyone is in bed,,, the answer has been; Yes!!
As I write this post,, it is 5 hours before New Year’s,,, last night someone called in with an order for wood, and needed it today (31st)! One cord, to be delivered about 40 miles (60-70km) north of us, I loaded it this morning and had it there a few minutes after noon!
My Father is 83!! He still works everyday!!! He gets upset when he can’t work!! He doesn’t need to work to make ends meet,, he wants too???!!!!
Besides the business, we have the ranch and the cash crops! I handle most of that,,, but my 83 year old Father will be doing the chores here while I am gone to Ukraine. Last year, he slipped on ice during the 2nd or 3rd day,,,, and did my chores limping! Could he have hired someone to do this for him,, sure,,,, but that’s not his way!
As for taking a whole year off?? IMPOSSIBLE!!! No one, or single person,,, can do the work I do here!!!! On many of the jobs,,, I am the indispensable man!!!
I can recount a few horror stories from throughout the years,,,,,, when everyone here was sick and I put in several full days of work with a 104F fever! Or when the folks went away, and I did everything while having my back out. Or, when they were away, and it was -25F for 10 days! I had this house, my parents house, and the lake house to take care of. Plus the farm and the business. Diesel tractors that wouldn’t start, frozen silo under loaders that are froze tight, and other expensive machines that can’t freeze. All fun stuff!!
DUNT,,, you may need to find a dictionary and look up the word; Responsibility!!
Ralph,,,, would you be surprised if I told you, that I have only wrote to one woman who had a bikini photo in her profile??? Don’t get me wrong,,, I like bikini pics,,, but not on my future wife,,, not for the whole world to see! And it is the “Whole” world!!
I believe a woman’s man, should protect her honor!!!
So,,, Dunt,,, do you still have the photo that you posted online, of your Ira giving you a BJ???????
DUNT???? Who says I don’t make any money???
I don’t think I would want to spend 12 months there, even if I could!! I like it here!!
Sure,,, I would rather go for just 10 days at a time,,, every other month, instead of several weeks at one time.
It’s a family estate and business!! My grandfather once owned it, my father owns it now, and someday in the future I will!! I’m not going to tell you what it’s worth!!! Lol I’ll just let you die from curiosity!!!
We all know about your abilities,,,, or lack there of!! I must confess though,,, the financial compensation your government pays out for mental disabilities is amazing!!!! Are you also getting some physical compensation????
I don’t need to ask permission to do anything!! Asking about the schedule, workload, planned events, doctor appointments, etc, is just part of normal social behavior!!! If you are able to stand and walk upright for a few minutes at a time,,, try looking through other people’s windows!! Learn how the higher Primates live, and function in their family units!!!
@Cteas & Весновка
I must agree that finding a suitable mate for long term happiness is much more problematic when using the web. First, The virtual nature of an on-line profile is pure fantasy and no matter how hard one wants to believe what they experience on-line, It is simply not reality.
Today I think too many people believe everything they see on Television. When in reality, Televsion is a small portal to view what a programmer has created to entertain you. Televsion shows are art and entertainment, not Reality and Guidelines for social behaviour.
The internet a two way television. It has it's practical uses, but for the most part, it is entertainment. Too many people can not separate fantasy from reality.
With that said, The internet is a great place for fantasies. I beleive that people from the FSU have a better grasp on this than do most people from the west.
Next, the probability of two people (from different cultures, who speak different languages, have different morals, ect.) being compatible, Is pretty slim.
If you meet someone on-line, you have not really met anyone. Not until you are face to face. Then if at that point, you like each other, you might as well smell like each other :)
I wish more people would see mass-multi media for what it is.
Here is an example to illustrate what I mean.
A high school student decided to make a video for fun and some laughs. He filmed his fellow students on lunch break and asked them a few simple questions, facts and common knowledge things..
He then edited the video into a 5 min clip and posted it on you tube.
Well the video got over 100,000 views and got him in a lot of trouble, why? Because if taken literally as fact, these high-school students don't know who the vice president of their own counrty is.. This got got the media involved, then the government... No one stopped to think about the fact that it is ENTERTAINMENT Not Reality.
