And Martin - you seem to be different things to different groups on different websites - while retaining enough similarity to make it clear that it is you.
On this website you are indeed married. But on others you purport to be something else. And on at least one other you are an entirely different age.
Martin:
In the ALSO most polite of ways, I am saying "shut up and wait".
Unlike some I don't keep a catalog of negative websites on others. I am quite certain that a google would not reveal the information either since, I bleive you might have altered it when it was called to your attention. I am absolutely certain that I saw them when they were up.
jetmba,
Perhaps I'm being kind of impatient because I genuinely am intrigued to learn where I am supposedly aged 54, I'm sure, at this stage, that it's a case of mistaken identity but wouldn't you want to know if it were you?
If I don't know what websites you're referring to then I can't go and alter them. This is, really, the only FSU forum I post regularly on with just an occasional post on RWG, if there is anything else our there, that is current, then, as I say, I believe it is a case of mistaken identity.
Ask yourself this question, in all the posts I have made on this forum over the past 18 months, and you know that there have been a lot, have I ever even hinted that I have been looking for a lady or that I am not married?
To me, the only reason why one would say or brag that they are married, when they are not, would be to rub others faces in it. Whilst I make occasional references to my marriage and/or my wife do you appreciate that I have never even mentioned my wife's name on any forum, that's how much I 'brag' about it!
The bottom line is that I am 48, not 54, and I am very happily married and if others choose not to believe it then they can try telling it to someone who gives a shit :)
I have no vendetas with anyone. I commented on the topic of socials in the past in threads that you did not post. Do not flatter yourself by thinking that I am waiting on a keyboard day after day for that precious moment that you will start writing a new novel so that I reply to it. I choose very few topics that I read solely based on the topic title itself, not based on who writes in that particular thread. If you don't like constructive criticism, then why do you post? on the expectation that people will pat your shoulder? you started for probably the 25th time the same old topic of socials knowing very well that this is the very wrong place to do so since the people who come here are letter writers because fiance.com is predominantly an introduction service not a social tour company. How many people answered the questions that you posted about socials and the like?
On the topic, there is a difference, which unfortunately you cannot recognize, between writing a first letter to a number of women and going to see only one. I do believe, an honest woman would desire and expect a man to make the trip to see only her. Letter writing and speaking on the phone for a period is necessary to provide evidence of compatibility before an expensive and time consuming trip is made. Letter writing and phone talking do not guarantee chemistry between two people. This is something to find out during your visit. The first time you see the other person after weeks or months of letter writing and phoning, you will know whether she's the one.
I do not believe that most people steer away from socials because of the up front cost or the ridiculous intimidation factor (meeting a new woman::)) that you mentioned. Americans are intimidated by the idea of a foreign trip anyway, so going organized would be much more appealing. Further, Americans are lazy when it comes to organizing vacations, etc., so again going with a tour company would be more appealing. However, most choose not to do so, for the very same reasons that I chose not to do so, which is: GOING ON A SOCIAL IT IS A MECHANICAL, UNROMANTIC, AND UNAPPEALING TO LEGITIMATE WOULD BE BRIDES (HOPEFULLY ALSO UNAPPEALING TO LEGITIMATE WOULD BE GROOMS WHO CAN SEE BEYOND THEIR NOSE) WAY TO MEET A SPECIAL SOMEONE TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
P.S. Social can be a legit way if it's your first time going there and you want to test the waters in the safety and certainty of a totally controlled environment because you're uncomfortable, unsure, etc. and you want to see the whole thing from up and close before you delve into it any further.
I also read the rest of the jetmba drivel above ... about the things that we missed::)) regarding the desperate calls for help to nasfan ... doesn't nasfan realize that he is included in the list of those that you ditch and bitch because they met their women through letter writing??
Come on jetmba, it's been some 8.5 hours now, even you've had your time to do your Google searches now, would you care to provide evidence or retract you statement(s)?
By the way the allegations (lacking any substance or credibility) came from someone who in every other sentence he writes that we don't have anything to back up what we say ...::))
I bet googlemba's keyboard has been on fire the whole evening, but to no avail::))
It's all so very convenient to sling mud but to back it up seems all so difficult for an auctioneer?
Just wait till 'Wyatt Twerp' gets here, I guess that is who jetmba is waiting for, takes two Americans to fight one European, rock on the UE, UE is the 'good old' United States of Europe :)
Martin: Now I know that you have no life (and no doubt no wife either). You actually SAT by your keyboard - pining away the minutes waiting for a response from me. Did you shed a tear like a forlorn teenage girl waiting for the phone to ring? Did I hurt your feelings with my nonattentiveness? Did you beat your teddy bear in anger?
I'm sorry Martin - but I have a life and cannot always be there to respond to you. Its a tough thing to acknowledge Martin I know, but I know you can if you try? (Now go hug teddy and make up.)
Trav: You purport to have an MBA too according to your resume (whether it is credible or not) there for you should know SOMETHING about business (even though you seem not to by anything you write). FGo back to the home page of fiance.com. Look for the box advertisement on the right. Note where it mentions "2006 Romance Tours" and a $200 dicount if you book through fiance.com. Do you know what that means MBA Trav? It means that Anastasia tours is a SPONSOR of fiance.com. Or, put another way, fiance.com makes money selling Romance Tours just as it does by selling Lonely Hearts addresses. Fiance.com even conducts its OWN private tours for people who want to meet face to face (the way noncowardly folk, unlike yourself, tend to).
Therefore, it is perfectly natural to mention and advocate TOURS on this forum. I realize that you aren't especially bright Trav so I understand why you don't realize that this forum benefits from BOTH venues of meeting. But it does. And it is CERTAINLY more appropriate to discuss Romance Socials here than it is you liberal socialist propaganda - which I thank you for giving at least a temporary rest.
Googlemba, I don't know why you have so much anger about pretty much everything, but don't give a rat's ass either. I am not going to waste more of my time in this pointless debate with you. Who has mba's and what other credentials let those who are qualified to judge ... you like your keyboard very much I noticed. So, take it with you in Ukraine, after all you may one day need the alt+shift:)
Martin and Trav......whilst the 2 of you girls keep bleating about jetmba,perhaps you would care to read the childish drivel you put up here supposedly in defence of jetmba's posts.
Are you both that insecure that you can't allow another person's point of view???
Maybe it was a deprived childhood?
Maybe you were bullied?
Maybe you are inadequate?
who knows??????
What does come across loud and clear is a repugnant attitude to anyone who dares question you.Both of you have provided useful information in the past,but the constant puerile remarks that continually surface just shows how immature you can be.Why don't you grow up.....and as for you Martin......GET A LIFE......how sad is it to sit counting hours, minutes and seconds waiting for a continuation of your argument.
For somebody who keeps reporting that he doesn't give a sh*t about whats said here you sure as hell don't act like it.
If you have something relevant to contribute,say so,if not switch your mouth off and give it a rest.
YOU ARE A BORING SAD LITTLE MAN.
Guys I have to eat some crow here. I also meant no disrespect Martin please forgive me. The girl that contacted me sent me a picture and My photo that I sent her was in the picture with her. I was wrong, she will not give me her address or phone number. Just a po box. Yes the site is Amruss.ru She is on mail forwarding. I think she is to young or not ready to go to the next step. It is much cheaper that being on a site that charges you every letter. Once you get to know them get off the date sites and put them on mail forwarding. I have another girl that want to meet. I am going to meet her. Can someone please tell me where to start to get a visa?????I would be very thankful.
Thanks for the support Glad:
These two supposedly married men must have been deprived at sometime in their lives. At least their brains were deprived of oxygen. Martin admitted he sat by his keyboard for hours waiting for me to reply. Trav WON'T admit it (won't admit a LOT of things) but everytime I write about perfectly legitimate socials - he cannot stand for an opinion that is not his to be expressed. And wasn't Trav the one who used to cry the most about bullies in the playground?
These two imps need to get lives and realize that there are those of us who intend to use this forum for its designated purpose - whether they like it or not. They are truly sad little creatures.
