Author Post durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/18/2013 2:34:27 PM   ...but other things do! I've recently "gone active" on russiancupid, after a long absence. And what do you know, roughly once a day I get an "interest" from a too-young woman in Lugansk. Most of the time, the maximum age in her profile is much younger than my age. Usually there is just one photo, she is in her late 20s, and the profile is almost empty (very scant info about her or what she's looking for). Then, lo and behold! Within a day or two, the "interest" has vanished. [Plenty of scammers come on the 'cupid network' sites, but they do a decent job of policing. The typical troller profiles are usually deleted quickly.] So, Lugansk remains true to its terrible reputation. But there is a delightful new twist. I'm getting almost as many "disappearing interests" from Khimki, a suburb northwest of Moscow, most famous for the horrifying beating of a journalist who exposed corruption in local government (he was left severely brain damaged, and has since died). Look out, Lugansk! There's a new competitor in the game. lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/18/2013 3:25:01 PM   Durak,,, you’re getting to be almost as cynical as me?!! It’s about time!!! durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/18/2013 3:57:41 PM   @lonely: Maybe I'm even more cynical ... But perhaps I have more confidence in my ability to separate the wheat from the chaff. Whether that confidence is justified, perhaps time will tell. If I understand your history correctly, the crucial difference in our experiences is that I never went the agency route. beemer18 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/18/2013 8:09:23 PM   Trouble is Durak, when you separate the wheat from the chaff, you are mostly left with little to no wheat. That is the problem IMHO!!! ;-)) Don't put the 'agency' route down. If you can be rational and realistic, there should be no barriers in your quest. Rick4girl Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/19/2013 12:45:05 AM   the "agency" route should not be ruled out. There are actually good girls to be found. Ive had relationships form with genuine girls from an agency. Its not the agency's fault we ended up not being compatible. good girls but just not my girl. lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/19/2013 2:40:58 AM   Durak,,,, It isn’t just the chaff that you need to worry about,, there is also weed seed, hard seed, and inert matter. I’m not sure how long I was on Russianeuro, the now Russiancupid site,,, 6 months to a year,,, but after my time there,,, I looked into the bin and it was empty!! It was my time on Russianeuro that pushed me into the agency direction. I had encountered nothing but scammers on RE,,,,,, all women with their own computer. Most of these women are supposed to be poor,,,, and computers are expensive and not really needed for survival. So I concluded,,, Russian woman + computer = scammer! It all comes down to the honesty of the woman, no matter the country or whether she was in an agency. durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/19/2013 3:06:40 AM   I don't wish to get into a debate about agencies (or anything else, for that matter). Agencies have never looked light the right way for me. I don't doubt that other men have had successes with them. As for Russianeuro/Russiancupid (it was still Russianeuro when I first signed up), it has quite a lot of scammer profiles, as does Ukrainedate (another site in the "cupid network"). I believe that I can very quickly identify them _in most cases_, so for me they are a small annoyance, but not worrisome. I met two women from the site, both of whom were seriously looking for marriage and family. I keep in touch with them once in a great while; one married a man in Europe and has become a mother. I also corresponded with a small number of other women on that site -- without the letters leading to meeting -- who seemed quite legit to me. So I believe there are some veins of gold amongst the rubble ... otherwise, I wouldn't bother to dig there. PS: lonely, your list left out insects and insect parts :) My dad worked in the food processing industry, where quality control was supposed to measure the insect parts in samples of flour. In that context my dad taught me the abbreviation TNTC, meaning too numerous to count! lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/19/2013 3:57:15 AM   Durak,,, I was going to do a follow up about that! The truck loads of grain are covered with many grasshoppers. I'm sure they have a way of fanning them out before it gets turned in to cereal?! Or,,,,just add some chocolate to your cereal!! durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/19/2013 4:40:41 AM   Actually, his first food industry job was in an enormous cereal factory. A minute percentage of bug parts may seem unappetizing, but it's a harmless source of protein. However, I think the big contributor wasn't grasshoppers, but small bugs that found the stored flour a comfortable home. They called them flour bugs, which I'm sure isn't the scientific name :) As a joke, some of my dad's colleagues once gave him an "ant farm" (anybody remember those?), but instead of sand and ants, it was filled with flour and flour bugs. lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/20/2013 3:06:28 AM   We only had wheat on the farm here once or twice, we raise oats and corn mostly. Oats still has the outer hull, while wheat is the bare seed with the bran as the outer layer. In one of the lower cabinets in the kitchen was a box of cereal and a bag of flour,,,, I had almost forgotten about it. I noticed some strange bugs in the cabinet and guessed that they were flour bugs. I threw everything into a bag and tied it, sprayed the cabinet, and burnt the bag. I haven’t had any problems since. About working at food processing plants,,,,, my father tells a story about one of his uncles that worked at a slaughter house,,, way back in the early 1900’s,,,, Milwaukee or Chicago. It was his job to grab any of the ground meat that had fur in it!! A clump of fur meant a ground up rat!! Ah la ratta!!!
