I arrive at Jun-19 and today it is Jun-22. My 5-th day of my adventure.
It is a very interesting experience
1)
One month before my trip. I hired a local guy Armin Sarg arminsarg<at>yahoo<dot>com for $500 (labor) + $150 (set-up fee )to look for
potential marriage prospect in Nikolaev.
He set up a profile for me on mamba<dot>ru but I am quite surprise he does not even use vk.com
He basically chat up with the lady on the site and get the phone number.
However, the ladies she get for me is something I get totally get myself in California.
The quality is really low. So I treat his service is a write-off....
I would not recommend his service to anyone.
I did manage to have a date with the only one English speaking girl he finds from the website.
That girl is 19 yrs translator student from a local university.
She is a stunning model but she is more about to practice her English and have a free meal.
So this is a donation/write-off again.
2)
I also chat with some girls on www<dot>fiance<dot>com
It seems to me that one can easily tell if the girl is real OR a man is writing a letter.....
e.g. extra photos. video chat at her own house can indicate she is NOT a man
But the tricky part is if one has little knowledge of Russian then mostly likely a translator is needed at least for the 1st or 2nd meeting. I would say one can easily tell if a girl is into the man at the 1st 5 minutes of the meeting.
After all human communication is 95% beyond verbal 5-senses communications. It is an exchange of psychic energy.
To my surprise. the two girls that I met so far from the agency both are real. However, one of them again will be a write-off due to my own short-coming.
3)
Go in the right time
I observe that the best time to go is spring or autumn. At least in Nikoleav,
Here is so hot that it is up to 33C and I feel I am about to have a heat-stroke...
4)
To-sum-up
expect to have a lot of write-off/donation
learn russian as much as possible.
treat the trip as a vacation and pick the right time to go
you are realistic, that in itself will take you far,, yeah its rather interesting place and yes the girls are like any other around the world,, just a lot more to choose from.
but hey try not to get to huge up on ukraine, theres a big country next door, its not so full of users as you are starting to notice..
and i was complaining not been able to get a sun tan there, strange heat strange sun compared to my home.
cool adventure tho, yeah.
siddha, I appreciate your openness, in telling about what has gone wrong.
I have thrown away good money, along the way of learning how some things work in the former Soviet lands -- and from what I have read on this forum, so have others.
To me, your recommendations (part 4) are quite sensible. Learning Russian is a very big investment of time and energy, and it is also very useful.
I hope things work out better for you, and look forward to reading how it goes.
I haven't been to Nikolaev (which is actually the Russian name, in Ukrainian it's Mykolaiv) -- but from what I have read, it is a Very Big City for the "dating industry," by which I mean extracting as much money as possible, from foreign men. So you seem to have picked a hard place, in which to begin your hard learning.
I am thinking writing a book after this trip. Sometimes I feel bad for the scamper and wonder what environment and circumstances would put a human being to do such thing.
For example, I just had this one date with this one girl yesterday evening.
From what I observe, she seems very into me. If not she can be the best actress in the whole world.
However, she try to have me buy her $300 USD of stuff. I put a stop on her after I bought her a dress of $100 USD. It seems to me that she is programmed to extract money out of anyone even the man she has feeling.
It seems logical as she does not talk to her father it implies that her father abandoned her and her mom.
She says she is the only child and she has a close bond with her mom and her mon's parents
So as a result, this life event programs her to be a automation of money extraction of ANY man.
As her father never takes care of her....
It is a sad story not just for her but for us humanity.
Siddha,
You think and sound like every-single-american.
" However, the ladies she get for me is something I get totally get myself in California.

Stop blaming the women in your own country. You and the many others like you are the problem. You are not realistic in your choices of suitable women.
" That girl is 19 yrs translator student from a local university.

Why don't YOU set up 'dates' with the 50 year old yanks and charge them $250.00 for the meeting?
1: At least you don't have to use Armin Sarg $500.00 for doing sweet-fuck-all.
2: I'm sure there's plenty of 50 year something americans that 'think' they're a chance. Ha, ha, ha.
3: So now you know, the $150.00 went to the woman and the rest to Armin Sarg.
4: Use Mamba.ru on your own..
"I also chat with some girls on www<dot>fiance<dot>com

Sooo, Fiance has 'single' girls set up for video chat at home. This must be an idea they got from Anastasia web or John Adams from AFA.
Sounds totally legit, right?... So long as every one is ' In the Loop '.......... Ha, ha, ha.
" To my surprise. the two girls that I met so far from the agency both are real. However, one of them again will be a write-off due to my own short-coming."
What the fuck is your own short coming?
It seems the number ol' American men on the AFA tours are that old, I guess AFA are choosing venues that have wheel chair access.

If you believe this, you believe in the Tooth Fairy.
Seriously, you meet a woman in a foreign 3rd World country and she spills her guts about her private family life.
Siddha!, the whole country ( Ukraine and Russia ) is so disfunctional, everything is based on lies, corruption and stealing.
Thanks for taking time to write and express opinions.
It is wise one respect everyone's opinion and observations.
Everyone observe and interpret his/her experience through his/her own set of physical body(5 senses), programming(life experience and the filtered information out of it).
So Smart A's observation and understanding is as valid as MahaSiddha000's or as anyone else in this forum observation and understanding.
This person has not ever met SmartA so this person cannot tell if SmartA is a 50 years old Yank or not.
One article says if one sees everyone else is a Buddha, then it implies that that person is a Buddha or the potential of being a Buddha is maturing and blossoming.
Similarly, if one sees everyone else is a Theif, then it implies that that person is a thief or the potential of being a theif is maturing and blossoming.
Life is short. And at the end, last moment of this life. This person called I hopefully would be happy about this trip and laught at it and see it as a fun and interesting time.
Jesus says "Dont Judge and you wont be judged"
When you have spent enough time in Ukraine, you will become repulsed by their overwhelming dishonestly!! When you can’t believe a single word they say,,,, then why bother with any of it???
Which city, agency, website, or age of woman doesn’t matter!
If there is money to be made,,, there are lies to be told!! And they are so good at it, absolutely no shame or remorse!!

Very-Well-Said Lonelyranger1701!
Siddha my old mate,
Check out the recent tours photos on the AFA website..The guy with the Parrot T-shirt..I'm lost for words!
What about the Grey Haired old guy?...Late 50's perhaps early 60's????.. Grandad?...Look at the age of the women he's hanging around...
Why doesn't AFA have women of all ages on their websites instead of all young, attractive 'single' women?
Why doesn't AFA have women at the socials, a similar age to the men?
Because, 50 year old American men think they're still 30y/o and John adams needs someone to pay for his ticket.
John adams has ripped of his own male clients with stories like, Age doesn't matter to these women, These women are looking for someone just like their Daddy, these women are completely different to American Women ( big laugh )
Open your eyes siddha, everything on these websites is bullshit.
Everyone who knows what your trying to do, knows the amount of money to be made from you.
Don't allow yourself to become what happened to Martin Colman.
@ smart_a, who wrote "You think and sound like every-single-american" ...
Maybe an accurate diagnosis ... but I'm guessing from siddha's "screen name," and English usage, that his background and cultural identity are at least as much south Asian, as American (no offense meant to anyone, and please correct me if I got this wrong).
It seems to me that men in this forum from the USA, British Isles, other parts of Europe, Australia and New Zealand have told similar tales of woe, after making some of the same mistakes.
Nikolaev would be my very last place to start any adventure in Ukraine, unless you go there for sh*ts and grins. Girls are notoriously insincere agency girls there. I fear showing up there not speaking Russian or being labeled love lost stupid foreigner with big wallet ready to be emptied. 0)))
Ok, so I said this already in another post: I am going to Eastern Europe for a few months this fall anyway, so I though I will look for a good girl while I am there... In other words, I am not going there because I have found a girl, I am going there and so I am looking there for a girl.
But reading this stuff, I am beginning to wonder why bother. I have not been to any of the FSU countries; will I constantly be the subject of attempted scams by girls there? If so, then to hell with them, let them stay there and wallow- the world is a big place, and pretty girls are everywhere.
Hi oustabout,
Try this,
mamba.ru
A free to talk, free to use social website.
Talk to a girl who speaks english and say hi and ask questions.
Please, talk to someone close to your own age and leave the 19 y/o olds alone.
mamba.ru is the only site to get the real truth.
most dont go to ukraine to find a girl, they go there to learn all the traps as a beginner.
once getting a better idea what you are dealing with, they then have a good rethink on how to take a better approach to looking for a girl over theres or decide not at all.
and over theres is not necessarily ukraine.
a learning curve it was, after visiting russia it was pretty black and white which ran the biggest scam games or whatever.
Ok, went to the mamba website, registered, and browsed through like 50 pages of girls from Ukraine: It was eye opening. First impressions are:
1) Every beautiful girl in UA is on an agency dating site, 'cause the girls on mamba are altogether average... OR, what is represented on the agency sites is fantasy.
2) I can count on the fingers of one hand, out of 50 pages viewed, the number of girls who listed themselves as seeking a relationship. Almost universally their purpose is listed as "friendship". My point is, if they are not listing themselves as seeking a romantic relationship, they certainly aren't looking for someone to come there, zip them up in a suitcase, and take them 10,000 km from everything they know....
3) The maximum age difference any seem comfortable with is about 5 years. 19 y/o, lol nooooooo, no way; been there, done that, worn the T shirt (and the T shirt says, 'the sex is great but everything else is so irritating it just isn't worth it')... way to immature. I am 46, the age bracket I have been looking in is 30 - 40; given what I saw from the girls profiles on mamba, the youngest I should be looking for is maybe 37. The agency dating sites are full of 25 y/o saying they are looking for 30 - 50... however, that does not seem to fit with the mindset of the girls on mamba.
I haven't had the opportunity to converse at length with girls on mamba yet; I will follow up on this post when I have. Meanwhile, the above are my initial impressions.
Vegas :) :) :) I has changed though... it used to be so seedy, but in the best sort of way. Now it is... changed, and not in a good way. I remember shooting craps at the Flamingo, and the only light was above the table, the players were as invisible as they wanted to be. The MGM was extravagant, loud and exciting; Caesar's was... well, Caesar's. It was different then, and it was better.
oustabout took a look at site as well thought pics were more natual, however one has to write many to find a good few. so relax and enjoy, is not hard to figure the bad from the good. just takes time to weed them out. private agencys also use these sites so when letter says lady wants to write you but alas has no more funds, you know you got a agent. I am sure there are many good ones will just take time to find.
Me I am off to Russia soon to be with my lady, she has never asked for a cent from me always offers to help. We talk every day on skype her english is very good. She has never given me a reason to doubt her.
Mostly we enjoy each others company. Already has our trip planned out. I do not know what future brings for us, most important it is ares to shape. No extra person to screw it up. A good relationship always needs those extras to always make it shine. The lady I go to see makes it easy.God my ex wife would go balistic if she ever seen I write this. Hope I got it figured out this time. Good luck to you what ever road you take
smart-a, oustabout "Ok, went to the mamba website, registered, and browsed through like 50 pages of girls from Ukraine: It was eye opening. First impressions are: "
Very nice info in your posts, thanks.
Just a little background...I've been on some scam sites and 3 free ones that I like and I've found some nice girls on those that I'm communicating with. There were scams on there too. One gal emailed me out of the blue, cried the blues how she loved me and wanted to fly to US. Said she had all her papers. I think that she was probably working with another girl named Elena, elenaboiko@lovemail.org.ua, because it started just after I sent her my private email. Anyway, Google is so cool when it come to blasting scammers! I just typed in a bit of her email and I was directed to a scam site that had ALL her letters (under a different name) almost word-for-word with different pictures, very cool. I just replied with that attached and she stopped contacting me. I wonder why?- lol!
When I went to the mamba website and registered, it made me enter my info, any advice on a good "about myself" or any other general advice? I'd like to be able narrow down my search as efficiently as possible so I can spend quality time chatting them up.
And a few questions...
Any way (best way) to filter out psychos? Long way for a US squirrel to go to find a nut.
And maybe someone can help me out here. I thought that most of the girls were not very well off financially. How can they afford to have computers at home with Skype (or any other webcam) setup? I know that there will always be some that will have the means but doesn't that limit me to those who are well off?
I got mamba up and running and got an email already. It wants me to verify with my mobile phone so I put the number in but did not get the code sent to me. Any of you guys face this kind of problem? I wonder if it is a problem due to where they are trying to call from...
