Hi,
I think that Russia is often portrayed as a paradise for men who are looking for a woman. I decided to show and analyze some videos taken in several st petersburg nighclubs to show what it was about.
St. Petersburg is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. It is known as a vacation destination for both American and foreign tourists. As of the 2010 census, the population was 244,769, making St. Petersburg the fourth most populous city in the state of Florida and the largest city in Florida that is not a county seat. Although the city of Clearwater is the county seat of Pinellas County, all county services are available through county offices in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg is the second largest city in the Tampa Bay Area, which is composed of roughly 2.8 million residents, making it the second largest Metropolitan Statistical Area in the state.
The city is often referred to by locals as St. Pete. Neighboring St. Pete Beach formally shortened its name in 1994 after a vote by its residents.
The city is located on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It is connected to mainland Florida to the north; with the city of Tampa to the east by causeways and bridges across Tampa Bay; and to Bradenton in the south by the Sunshine Skyway Bridge (Interstate 275), which traverses the mouth of the bay. It is also served by Interstates 175 and 375, which branch off I-275 into the southern and northern areas of downtown respectively. The Gandy Bridge, conceived by George Gandy and opened in 1924, was the first causeway to be built across Tampa Bay, connecting St. Petersburg and Tampa cities without a circuitous 43-mile (69 km) trip around the bay through Oldsmar.
With a purported average of some 360 days of sunshine each year, it is nicknamed "The Sunshine City". For that reason, the city has long been a popular retirement destination, especially for those in the United States from colder Northern climates. This reputation earned the city the derisive nickname of "God's waiting room". In recent years, though, the population has shifted in a more youthful direction. American Style magazine ranked St. Petersburg its top mid-size city in 2011, citing its "vibrant" arts scene
You said you would not have anything to do with LR and me. It took about a week, but I knew it wouldn't last. Your word means nothing. So, you think the women in the video is representative of the women in St. Petersburg?
Remember this is the same place you got your wife from.
Everyone in the videos looked dull and boring! I didn’t see a damn thing to attract someone to St. Pete.
They talked about the myth of Russian women being so much taller and blond,, most of the blond women in the videos weren’t true blonds. Half of the women I’ve dated were blonds,,, but not a single one was a true blond. So fake!
If danny decided to "portray himself as an intellectual," wouldn't he learn to spell better?
@lonely:
I notice lots of bleach blondes in the dating website profiles, and this also seems to be true of a girl I met (her eyebrows were a bit too dark for her hair), though in her case the effect was rather harmonious. To me it's a bit of a shame, I would like their natural hair color just fine.
“If danny decided to "portray himself as an intellectual," wouldn't he learn to spell better?”
No,,,, It’s not his way!!!
I also noticed the number of bleach blonds on websites,,, and prefer their natural hair color in most cases too! What I hate,,, is the reverse skunk look!
Durak, no. There are many ways of showing intellect. To you, it's spelling and complicated explanations to simple things. To Danny, it's labeling others stupid as an overcompensation of what he doesn't know. I don't claim to be an intellectual, but I am not stupid. I asked a simple question.
For what it's worth, the historic center of Sankt Peterburg has an impressive array of universities. Kids come there from all over the former Soviet Union, to get their degrees. So for most of the year, there is a substantial population of around-20-year-olds. Perhaps they make up some of the customers of those clubs.
I've never been to such a club personally (in any country), such places have no interest for me. Seeing how many more boys than girls in the video clips, and the absence of real grownups, I imagine the "vibe" to be a bit depressing. Like the high-school gym, only worse.
When I saw the exterior shot of the Metro Club, I was a bit intrigued, because the setting looked so unfamiliar, though I know parts of the city quite well. It's a little south of the romantically named Bypass Canal, in a dreary heavily industrialized neighborhood. I've been within a couple of blocks, but didn't have any reason to wander in that direction.
