Again guys, reading the forum for the hundred's time got absolutely depressive feeling. It looks like not a single topic here deals with something except the possibility of being scammed, cheated...whatever.
Have to ask a question from the other side of the fence... Is it paranoidal suspiciousness caused by real life experience or a contageous desease of everyone who to his misfortune gets to this forum?
Remember "evoking evil by making evil prophecies".
One good way to have light heart is to remember one anti-scam trick. Ready? Never ever send any money unless you visit her in person!:-)
Felice, if we were really paranoid, we wouldn't even be here. And your correct about the money. Second, I don't think any self respecting Russian woman would ask for money in the first place. I know I wouldn't ask a Russian woman for money, logic dictates that I would go down to a friends house if I needed a couple of hundred bucks. Back to the Great Philosopher Forrest Gump, stupid is as stupid does.
Agreed Fellce, but what about the poor girl paying for email and translation ?
If you dont help her she might not be able to pay to write to you long enough to arrange that meeting !!
There is acceptable money sending and down right stupidity (money for urgent operation, money for visa, money for air fare are all Un acceptable) A few dollars a month wont kill anyone even if it is a scam. If you had a girl in your home town you would spend a lot more than $50 to $100 a month taking her out and on her, so really, this is the cheapest dating you will ever find !!! And if you dont take some chances, then you wont ever get anything or anyone !!
And then there is my motto Nas :o)))
"Never a lender or a borrower be"
Wait, scratch that last bit, Ive borrowed thounsands in my lifetime.
How about
"A friend in need is a pain in the bum" ? ;o))
Oh to hell with it
"Die in Debt, the IRS cant follow you there" ;o))
Robin Williams once said to always keep a bit of insanity in you, cause no ones figured out how to tax that yet.
However, on a serious note, and compliments of author L. Neil Smith:
Want a clear indication of what the welfare state is really all about? Note that the barest necessities of life -- food, clothing and shelter -- are all taxed.
Not my problem mate, Im worm food at that point :o)))
And they can only take the money from my estate, they can ask anyone else to settle my debts :o))
Some company tried that with someone I know, their relies just sent an FOD note and after that the company left them alone.
If they had been dumb they would have paid it, some companies have to decency when it comes to threatening the bereeved with court action for their dead loved ones debts !!!
Felice, don't get too pre-occupied with our caution, as we are dealing with major life decisions, and the lives and futures of ourselves, our families and that special FSU woman who we all desire (whom the scammer could potentially keep us from should we fall into his/her trap.
Instead look at the joy and hope and blossoming relationships that are being spoken of here: - Tim and Natasha, Crash and Oyla, Dma and his honey me and Lucy, to anme a few!
Felice, we are excited, positive, forward looking, and willing to pay a great emotional, interpersonal and financial price to find happiness in this unique manner!
Isnt Dma'a lady Olya? I'm sure he will chime in soon to let us know. My lady is Natalia, I know I haven't mentioned her by name too much.
I do agree with Ensata's point though and not everyone dwells on the scammer issue. Remember it works on both sides. There are guy scammers just as there are ladies. Its too bad that the few that there are seem to spoil it for alot of the sincere ones.
Hell I'll Take Moe,Larry and Curly right now. Aren't there any true conservative statesmen left in America? I used the word statesmen, I'm sick of politicians.
On the scammer issue, I'm not too worried about it, I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box but I was blessed with my fathers common sense. I'll judge a lady straight up on her merit, if she does something remotely shady, see you later sweetheart. You know a tiger is a tiger, a duck is a duck and bullshit will always be bullshit
Have a great day all I have to go do some professional begging
I disagree with the statement that we all here speak about sad and bad things only...people here search for happiness, and sometimes the way to happiness may be a bitter one, and we here discuss things in order to make this way less bitter...what are freinds for??? And please correct me if I'm wrong, we all here are friends helping each other:)))
Crash, sorry for the name mistakes! It would be good to have a thread or someway to list our respective sweeties with our names (for simple types like me who keep getting confused).
Lets see Ensata and Olys, Tim and Lucy, Crash and Natasha ? Natalia and Dma ? I give up!
"Die in Debt, the IRS can't find you there (or something like it)"
Now, that's one pathetic way to exit the one and only life you're guaranteed to have in this universe....
The mere thought of it makes me vomit.
Doesn't anyone care to leave a legacy or financial stability for your loved ones anymore?
How proud your children will be when they come to visit your grave with the engrave epitaph "Here lies a man who died in debt and never did anything to help anyone but himself"......
Aaagghhh...more vomit!!
Felice,
Note that the issue of scammers gets revived everytime someone new to the site details his own situation and asks for advice.
For the most part, everyone here with experience or something to contribute has shown best wishes to help prevent scammers from taking advantages of anyone.
Yes Crash, Del` has an Olya too, but a different one to yours, I hope :o)))
"
Doesn't anyone care to leave a legacy or financial stability for your loved ones anymore?"
If you die without anyone to leave it to the Goverment gets the lot !! Im not talking about married people Im talking about single people.
Glad top hear your a "True Blue" too Nas :o))
If the conservative party get in next year here, that should be When cus Blair has well and truly f*cked any chance he ever had !!! When the Tory party is back at the helm, where they belong, I for one will be throwing a very big party !!! :o))
No Ptichka, you are not worng :o)
You are 1000% accurate as always :o)
We dont only talk about bad things here, just that the main purpose of the forum is to compare notes and help others to avoid the pitfalls that Are out there for the unwary, but if you are careful and not stupid, then it is all good :o))
LOL Ens, juts remember your own girls name mate, its the only really important one you Must Not forget :o))
Although I have a good mnmory, so I know you have Lucky Lucy :o)))
OK, guys! I see here you are much more optimistic than usual and this flows some inspiration!:-)
Tim, just for info. In my agency we provide just everything for the money you pay as a monthly fee to fiance.com and believe me this is enough for a girl to do whatever she may want here!:-) Translation - whenever you wish, all the letters and photos printed, consulting on what to do. You won't believe we even make a professional photo session for them!:-)
Of course if she is independent... But anyway all the correspondence can result in a simple laptop for some 200-300 bucks and 15-30$ a month for internet.
Aha, advise to those who will come to the FSU soon. Feed your girl regularly, she will like it!:-)
And one observation from meeting clients here... Those who ask their girls too much what she wants to do or what she will advise usually produce weak impression on them... It turnes out like our girls like strong guys, almost machos!:-)
felicedate
What is your point here? you're providing a pricelist for communicating?
Those that ask their girls too much what she wants to do?? you mean they like guys that send money first and ask questions after?? yeah there's nothing macho about that, just stupid, but If you can keep finding them suits you and the girls.
Maybe guys are interested in finding genuine women that don't need continual feeding to keep your business going, if you have any maybe you should let the members here know or bug off.
PaulIM
I think you misunderstood felicedate. The observation from clients is should you go visit your lady dont aways ask what she wants to do. you make the decision. They dont like men who sit to pee there.
I understand the post the same way as you wmf., in good spirit....... but I would like to know who this felicedate represents. Also I disagree with Felicedate saying that this forum is.......
...QUOTE, ............."Again guys, reading the forum for the hundred's time got absolutely depressive feeling. It looks like not a single topic here deals with something except the possibility of being scammed, cheated...whatever."......... ???????
I think that this forum one of the least preoccupied with scammers, that I've visited, so there!
