WIFESEEKER,,, if you show the girl all of your photos during your correspondence before you meet,,,, and she has nothing but compliments for you,,, then you should expect that your appearance is acceptable to her. If she doesn’t like your looks when you meet,,, then you have been deceived and your time has been wasted.
As for personality,,,, some of that comes out in letters,, but not all. I warn them about my having a silly type of personality,,, most have liked my humor.
One of the girl’s that I had the most extensive correspondence with, called me conservative? This was after seeing and talking about advertisements while in Ukraine the year before. They do show nude posters above the streets in some cities? When I finally met her,,, both her and the interpreter were dressed very conservatively,,, I think they both added buttons to their blouses,,, as they were buttoned up to their chin!
I write to the girls much longer than most guys,,,, hoping to eliminate any surprises. Even if they wouldn’t like me for whatever reason,,,, that is no excuse for being rude and/or impolite! It was a damn long flight!!
Turn this around for a moment,,, what if the girls came here to see us,,,, would you turn around and walk the other way if you didn’t like her?? I wouldn’t,,, I would make sure they were okay and cared for,,,, then send them packing!
You will need to come to terms with your own looks and personality,,, and find a girl that accepts you for you!!
I agree with Tom in that I could miss a chance to find a beautiful and good woman for fear that she is a scammer and then pass on her.
I am currently communicating with a nice girl who has given a couple of signals that the scammer police would say: "stay well away from her". But I am going to wait, see and investigate before I do the stupid thing and drop her. I have put her (first) name, email address and town in Google and all the scammer sites I know about and the good news is I am getting no results at all. But I am still to investigate a lot more.
The most stupid thing(s) that I’ve ever done, is not dropping them sooner! I guess I can honestly say,,, all of the women I’ve met, weren’t worth crossing the road for,,, so why the hell would I want to cross an ocean?
Everyone can do what they want though.

“I have put her (first) name, email address and town in Google and all the scammer sites I know about and the good news is I am getting no results at all. But I am still to investigate a lot more. “
Is her profile (s) new or old?? If her profile is new,,, people may not have reported her yet. I’ve done checks on some of my girls quite often,,, and sometimes the info comes really slow. I’ve had info just appear and yet be over a year old??
hey lonely,, just wondering
in hindsight now with what you know, as in know about how that system can play the game and you repeated your adventure, with the same girls.
like you were doing it for the first time with them all over again.
did the writing thing all that.
would their spiel be able to get you over there again?
lonelyranger: The problem with long term correspondence is that a lot of eligible ladies are fed up with keyboard Romeos and time wasters and do not want to engage in long term correspondence. They say it in their profiles. I am in touch with some ladies who have already invited me to come and meet them but it is somewhat risky in case they do not like me on the spot. I am a believer of going to see one lady only, when you have already developed some kind of relationship with her, at a distance, and it is just a question of 'passing' the meeting test. But with girls who do not want to correspond, it is fair to go and see 3 or 4 in one trip so that you do not book a 2 week trip only to find yourself with nothing to do for 13 days if the first meeting does not work.
Most of the girls I am talking to have had the 'new' tag removed from their profiles so there has been time for people to report them. The site that I use gets a lot of scammers but they are quick to remove them. Sometimes I get an email saying a new lady is interested in my and, by the time I go to see her profile, she has already been removed form the site!
Not surprisingly, the ones that do not want to correspond do not get their profiles removed from the sites. Scammers are not 'hostile' like these ladies so I tend to believe they are genuine. They could be professional daters but, as they have been in the site for a few months, there would have been time for an innocent victim to come back and report them. The only ptoblem with these ladies is that they know they are very eligible so they can make men go to see them.
I am corresponding with some eligible ladies who can afford to send a message once every 2 or 3 weeks only. They are not in a hurry and they know people like me will be willing to wait for their messages.
My only guess about you always saying that all FSU women are time wasters is that you have been looking in the wrong places. It is simply not possible that even the majority of them are.
PS, My only concern about posters with naked women is road accidents :-D
Kiwi,,,, “with what I know now” is the reason why I didn’t go last year and won’t go again this coming January.
By the same girls you mean agency girls?? Yeah,, different cities, different websites, same results. For the 1st trip I had wrote to 5 women in 4 cities, and I told them I’d be meeting others about 2 weeks before. I did that because they would know a guy wouldn’t travel that far for only 3 or 4 days.
The 2nd trip I only had wrote to one girl,, but for a long time, and one for a couple of months. The 1st one on that trip had a boyfriend, and the interpreter is on a scammer watch list. The 2nd girl wanted to meet me so bad,, that she forgot to show up and was chatting online for Aweb instead.
For the 3rd I found someone on this site that had almost no online footprint and was only on one site. Weeks before my trip she insisted that I stay in an agency apartment,, so I looked for a few others to meet. They too insisted that I stay in one of their apartments. I almost didn’t go.
4th trip I went to meet the same girl as the 3rd, and I was quite convinced that it would not work out,,, she didn’t show up. Before my trip she had made all kinds of promises,, just to get me to her city.
I don’t know what it would take for me to return,,,, I haven’t found it during the last two years. I look on Vk a little, but can’t find anyone that I like, or is suitable. Vk is riddled with scammers too, I just got done with one a couple of nights ago.

“The problem with long term correspondence is that a lot of eligible ladies are fed up with keyboard Romeos and time wasters and do not want to engage in long term correspondence. They say it in their profiles.”
A lot of the ladies also say that they are not writing to any other men,,, which is a lie. They will also say in their letters, that they haven’t met with other men,,, that is also a lie.
What is said in letters never matches what is said in person,,,, or in their letters after a meeting. I sometimes think that they,,, “confess?” things afterwards,,,, to create jealousy,,, hoping that a guy will send them gifts or money to gain an edge. I don’t play that game!
“My only guess about you always saying that all FSU women are time wasters is that you have been looking in the wrong places. It is simply not possible that even the majority of them are.”
I think so too,,,, I’ve been looking online!!
No, it’s not impossible,,,, not with agencies recruiting the most dishonest.
“PS, My only concern about posters with naked women is road accidents :-D “
When I first saw these posters, I told the women, that they would cause an accident in the US.
lonely,, excuse the way i write, my skills in putting things to print often is crap.
writing was never my strong point, possibly dyslectic,,, who knows
what i'm getting at is with what you know now, and hypothetically speaking if you were to play this game again with the same girls you actually visited.
would their communication as it played out those years ago be good enough today to full you in going over there?
just thinking if yes,, that would be a little scary.
WS,, long term correspondence? thats your opinion and fine, but i never had a girl having a problem with it.
i would never meet anyone under 6 months of correspondence, and still wouldnt today if i repeated it,,, none of these girls thought it was a prob.
not that i had dozens of 6-8 mouth correspondence, only what clicked to my character.
but hey they can jump on a plane and visit me if they are in a hurry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yeah right''
Kiwi,, if I knew all of the bad about the girls before my trips, I would never go! There wasn’t much to go there for.
The very 1st is working as a prostitute in Moscow now. She told a dozen lies to me.
The 2nd was in the Carpathian Mt’s with her lover when I arrived in Odessa. The agency lady told me she was sick for 7 days,,, but so was I so it didn’t matter much.
Then I had the Date from Hell in Nikolayev , and the 4th girl was sick, so I raced back to Odessa to finally meet the 2nd girl for an hour or so.
5th girl was supposed to be in Lugansk,,, but then lived 80km away! Given the option of traveling to her hometown, or paying for the taxi,, I paid the taxi. 150 1st trip,,, then 200 for the next 3, oh,,, in USD! That’s the Lugansk taxi scam! She might have gotten out of the taxi over the first hill?? I’ll never know,,, and really don’t give a flying fuxk about earring girl anymore. She’s the one I cared for the most,,,, I now despise her the most!! She came back again this last Sept,,, and actually wrote 6 letters to me,,,, then stopped,,, again!
6th girl is the one with the boyfriend, and didn’t even write her own letters, the interp on the scammer watch site did. She wrote wonderful letters that I actually miss,,, but it was all a lie,,, and that’s too bad, because she at least knew what a relationship should be like,,,, but it was just income for her.
The next one was a no show.
The girl in Sumy was sweet,,, but not honest. It was just free meals for her,,,, but the worst thing about her is,,,, she hid a HUGE secret,,,, a real deal breaker. And let me travel to see her twice,, knowing I couldn’t marry her?? That was the last straw.
I saw the red flags and red ribbons as they appeared,,,, but I gave them second chances,,, something they didn’t deserve.
I have a girl writing to me right now,,, and she wants me to visit her,,,,, she also needs money for winter cloths,,,,, I’m not as generous anymore.
I have a question for you, have you gone to visit ALL the girls you have written to for no less than 6 months? If you have not done that with just one girl then you will undertsand why so many of them are fed up with Keyboard Romeos and I am afraid to tell you would be contributing to the problem. And do you think it is for them to find the money to buy a trip to come and see you?
I am writing to one girl whose motto in Skype is: "better deny at once than promise for long" I made a comment to her on what she must have experienced for her to write it and she told me NO other man had even noticed her motto. They have just gone on writing what sounded the same to her. Even I must have written some things that made her think "good grief!"
Lonelyranger,
I am going to make up some excuses for the honest girls. The reasons they ask you to stay in an apartment are:
- They live with their parents and they are not going to bring a man just like that and/or
- They live in a tiny place with no space for a guest.
- They fear for their safety bringing a foreign man into their place, even with 6 months of correspondence.
- They have dignity and are not going to allow the man to think he can jump in bed with them on arrival.
- They do not want to be humiliated by hotel staff treating them as a prostitute when they come and visit you, especially if they have made the decision to stay overnight after dating you a few times.
- In a apartment they can come and cook for you and impress you plus live for a bit as if you were a couple at home to see what it is like.
A girl I was talking to recently had her foreign man come and stay in an apartment with her even though she lives on her own in a small place. On the second day he was there he asked her to marry him. She said yes. On the third day she took him to the town where her parents live to introduce him to them. I missed a chance there.
I am exchanging correspondence with a nice lady who already wants me to go and visit her to 'grab' me once and for all. I have no doubt she is genuine. She has volunteered to let me see her in Skype, she gave me her full name, email address and phone number. I did not ask for any of this. She lives with her parents and son in a small place and she is not inviting me to stay with them. I am not offended or suspicious. She says she can get me a flat for $50 a day which means that she is not even trying to get me to take her to live in a luxury penthouse for 3 weeks.
Lonelyranger: Change your dating site(s) urgently.
WS,, what you wrote was good,,, but it doesn’t really apply to me. I never asked to stay with a girl yet! If she had asked me to stay with her on a 1st trip to meet her,,,, I would have had a problem with it. My ideal girl wouldn’t do that. Second trip would be okay.
I wanted to stay at hotels,,, they didn’t need to come to my room. Several times I brought my pc to the lobby or a café with wi fi, to show them more pictures of home, our businesses website, etc! I do my best to be a gentlemen. And besides,,, on most dates I had a interp joining us,,,,, so there was a chaperone! She should feel perfectly safe and not like a prostitute. Some said: Don’t treat me like a prostitute! But that was to get me to pay for an agency flat,,, (the sole purpose of writing to me)! Something I will never do again, is stay in any flat! I want access to a restaurant, ATM, wifi, English speaking people, telephone, etc!
I don't have a dating website anymore!
PS. You didn’t miss anything, with the girl who said yes to a guy on the 2nd date!!!
About sex, like with everything else there are all kinds. I once went to visit a girl who was obviously desperate for some. She started insinuating she wanted it from day one. I wanted to be a gentleman and pretended I did not notice. By the third day she got pissed off with me and told me I did not want her so we did that night....
On another occasion it was me who was a bit desperate, I insinuated it to a lady and she got pissed off too!
So it is really difficult to know what their reaction is going to be one way or another.
I am not naive and do not expect girls to be 'pure' and pretend that they do not have sex on first dates or days together. The girls from my country do it all the time.
I have introduced the subject of sex in Skype and email conversations, with an apology. They have all told me they were not offended and that they understood that it is a central part of a relationship so why not talk about it from the beginning. A couple of them have talked rather openly about it.
WS,, no i never did meet any under the 6 months,,, i do see what you mean.
but any girl that got me writing over 5-6 weeks went to 6 months.
but hey even i was fed up with the writing, but its just realistically what you have to do.
ok i did with my first trip in a sense, checking agency girls,,, but that was more checking whats going on while looking around Ukraine.
you have to give us down here a bit of leeway to,, its not so simple for us.
its a couple of 12-14 hour flights plus one 3-5 hour flight on a avenge just to get into Russia or Ukraine,, western Russia is half that which was good.
dont forget we are dishing out 3 grand US for these flights also.
and we dont earn British pounds here either, or US,, we live below the average western earners salary or wage,,,,,,,, its just a fact...
and thats a lot to spend for a taxi ride for some unsure date.
if they(the girls) think different then really they can stick their high heels where the sun dont shine in my mind, its thoughtful persons we search for yes, and been realistic.
sorry WS, i was been sarcastic.
stupid NZ homour, girls jumping on a plane for first visit line.
they just cannot come here like such, even if they had the money.
its almost impossible for a normal Russian or Ukrainian to get a visiting visa to NZ without family here, or something that they cannot leave their country from like a child or big money on their side.
i have had friends who have tried,,, i have massive problems with my embassy over how they were treated, disgraceful.
even if i started this all over again, i wouldnt.
the red tape is horrible and tiresome,,, if i did i would look at Poland, Bulgaria, Romania or Lithuania or something,, they can walk into NZ without all the red tape???
I thought along similiar lines: why not look for an Eastern European girl from a country that has joined the EU and forget about the visa problems!
The only thing is those girls are not in the market. I have hardly seen any Polish, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Czech (beautiful women there) or other girls from these countries in dating sites. There are a few Romanians and I made contact with one of them but it is very uncertain. There are more Ukrainian girls in the market for foreign brides than in all the Eastern European countries, in th EU, put together. Shame.
About the long writing periods, the problem is that the dating sites are not for pen pals. So you cannot just spend months wtiting to them as if they were just distant friends and then maybe one or more will become romantic liaisons. Anybody who is serious about using these sites is looking for romance straightaway, otherwise go to Facebook.
In my case, I have to tell them romantic things like about their beautiful eyes, etc. otherwise they will see me as a complete time waster talking about football and always avoiding romantic talk, Once you are in the romantic talk, there is the need (mostly by the ladies) to meet in person. Any of them who has been talking in romantic terms with you, for months, and then sees that you are not even going to visit her will add you to their long list of time wasting Keyboard Romeos.
WS,,, who said anything about the girls needing to be “pure”?? I just don’t want any who are sleeping with every guy that pays them a visit. There are a lot more guys doing this than we are aware of,,, some girls have guys showing up two at a time. If she sleeps with me on my first visit,,, she probably did it before,,,, and will do it after.
WS, thats whats so out there about Ukraine,,,, they really have cornered the market on advertising on the net with their so called girls.
yet there are very little amount of girls in NZ from Ukraine (maybe they just dont like us) its mostly Russian,,, by ninety percent at least.'
the visa restrictions are the same..
one never should believe whats real by what the net dictates, its only print and cunning search engines been manipulated by cunning company's.
its only business.
those Slavs are the best with most internet games of all angles.
a slippery slope of deceive,, meaning if you throw enough at it like anything, it just doesn't stick,. you just need to watch it long enough.
I am not really happy with the 'those Slavs...." statement, it sounds suspicious to me. Also, remember that all the major and most profitable dating sites are run by Americans and Europeans.
Lonelyranger,
We agfee that we don't want professional daters who take guys to their country all the time and give them a bit of sex for the money they spend on them. Howver, your comment:
"If she sleeps with me on my first visit,,, she probably did it before,,,, and will do it after" is still naive.
One of the girls I mentioned before slept with me on the third day of my first visit. I do not think she was a loose woman, she was desperate more like. Besides, let us be honest, women use sex and cooking to get the man they really want so I find it flattering that the honest ones want sex with me. And I would be naive to think that any of them is going to keep herself 'clean' of foreigners until I turn up.
its something i have never understood how ukraine has cornered the market when their product is minimally spread around the world in what its trying to sell(excuse my punt)
i only know of two ukraine girls in NZ,,, i think i could number off about 20 Russian girls i know of around me that have come to NZ as you seek.
when over there i was surprised how easy it was to buy malware trogan virus's or other crap from markets or such.
the latest micro soft programs that one has to pay numbers here for was like a fiver.
it really was an eyeopener.
i think it may have been the slavs that developed the email system "the bat" which has been used prolifically by scamming companys for mass emailing in this girl boy game.
there has been i real nest of deceit from over there.
yes a few companys from america and other have been involved but majority is in the FSU.
when over there i remember just down the road the police raided a mass email scamming center(russia), arrested a large number of guys pretending to be girls and dozens dozens of computers were confiscated, the place was running 24 hours a day,,,, russia was getting pressure from the outside world to act on these places.
people were or are employed like a normal job,,, rather crazy stuff.
why that guy Alex has done so well for himself, things are not so hidden over there.
i couldnt believe what i found out about people there,,, no wonder thugs have a field day...
WS,, is it naïve to search for a decent-respectable girl in Ukraine?? Maybe,,, probably,, but that’s what I’m looking for.
If everything is going well, and she is everything you hoped her to be,,, then near the end of a long first trip it would be alright for her to spend the night. But we were talking about men’s accommodations for the first trip,,,, it’s not possible to know in advance if everything will be perfect.
“I do not think she was a loose woman, she was desperate more like.”
Yeah,,,, you need to watch out for that too. If a woman chooses a guy because she is desperate,,,, then she is only choosing him for what he has to offer,,,,, and not him!
I was told not too long ago, that a Ukrainian girl, would sleep with a guy for a vacation,,, or for a shopping spree,,,, or even a few meals?? Do you know WHO told me this??? A Ukrainian girl!! I actually think she was trying to give me a hint!! Vacation-Sex,,,, shopping-Sex,,,, hint hint,,,,, hint hint?!!
“I find it flattering that the honest ones want sex with me.”
How do you know if she was honest?? You already called her desperate.
Lonelyranger,
Sometimes I really do not know whay you are talking about. Like someone who is desperate for a bit of sex cannot be honest????
You probably have these really old-fashioned idea of what an honest, respectable and decent girl is, maybe like in Victorian times, a girl that keeps herself for her husband only. I do not see how a girl who has even had casual sex cannot be all those things.
