Well you are listening to me or you would not be replying to my messages. Listen to yourself instead: you are the first one who says do not pay $5 for a taxi for the girls and you are telling me that I should have paid for her home shopping and the interpreter's meals.
You have no valid arguments and you just make up things as you go along. That is why you get nowhere with the FSU ladies who can see right through you. Go ahead, spend another 20 years until you are in your grave pretending that you have something with the ladies there. I bet with your descendants (oh you haven't got any) that your FSU 'girlfriend' will not bother to travel to attend your funeral.
What you say to Tom Shea about his success with an FSU lady is nothing less than envy. Pathetic 'Romance advisor'.
And let me tell you, the girl in Crimea did not reject me.
WS:
“I bet he goes loaded with presents and cash every time he goes gto visit the woman.”
As one of the people that you have made bets against in the past,,,, I can verify for everyone that your bets, beliefs, and imagination is always off of the mark.
WS:
“There is no other possible reason why a woman there would want a distant man, with no commitment, unless she is a dog,”
“The woman would have to be completely stupid not to have detected the way he sees FSU women.”
WS,,, have you met TomZ’s woman?? Have you found her dating, Vk or fb profiles??
Do you have anything to base your claims and accusations on???
WS,,, it’s unfortunate that your posts are mixed in with everyone else’s!
I used to read every post in the morning during breakfast,,, then reply in the evening. But shortly after your arrival, I’ve tried to skip as many as possible.
:-D The ladies are interested in your BO but not in excess! So a shower every other day is not bad, they can still smell your chemicals like that :-)))
WS - I never said don't ever pay a girl's taxi. I said just be cautious if you do so.
Personally I will never pay a girl's taxi as a condition of the meeting. In other words if she says to me, I will meet you if you pay my taxi. Secondly I will never pay a taxi that SHE arranges.
There are many variants of a taxi scam such as the girl not coming by taxi at all and still collecting taxi fare. The girl's brother or husband is the taxi driver and so on and so on and so on.
Yes, it's appropriate if you're both together in the street and want to hail a taxi together. Let her do the talking as if you speak English the rate will sometimes go up.
I will never put cash in her hand and say, Here's some money for taxi because this is rife with abuse. I did this once and I watched her sneak into the Metro.
What I often say is, You're welcome to come by taxi but you will have to pay it yourself. If I don't like her on the date I will never offer to pay her ride home.
God damn tom z, you aren't careful, you are a cheap bastard! You won't pay a woman's $6 cab fare, and you are still single? A catch like you? Too funny. How attractive is a man so tight he squeaks when he walks?
I’ve had similar experiences. I had the Luhansk taxi scam pulled on me for 4 nights. It was day 18 thru 22, during a 18 day planned trip. I didn’t worry about it. What I wished I had done,, was to follow the taxi and see how far they went.
I’ve offered taxi money to every girl,,,, so that we could spend as much time together as possible. It was only 40 to 60 Uah. I have also watched them get on the bus!
One time the girl asked for some taxi money when the weather was quite cold,, I was going to do it anyway. I didn’t have much Ukrainian money on me,,, and was counting it out in little bills,,, then I had to pay the interpreter. I only had $100’s and had to give her one,,,,, and let her keep the balance for the next day. My date had a rather sour look on her face!! Lol
LR - I'm not talking about the 40 to 60 Uah. That's peanuts. It's when they start asking $100 for a taxi. One lied and said she lived in a nearby town to Kiev, when she really lived in Kiev.
Another one who lived in Romni asked me $350 for a private taxi one way to Kiev. No! I said. Get on the freakin' bus!
I'm not cheap but I'm not going to be scammed either.
"Personally I will never pay a girl's taxi as a condition of the meeting. In other words if she says to me, I will meet you if you pay my taxi...."
What girl is going to say to you: "I will only meet you if you pay my taxi"? Not even a scammer or professional dater would say that, they would happily pay $10 to come to you with the promise that they could get their money back by 'scamming' you later on.
Are you going to tell me that you would not know that a girl would say this to you, once you are in her city, before you even buy your air ticket to go and see her?
I once exchanged messages with a girl who set about telling me that she needed a new fur coat and that women had to dress expensively for their man. If you are the kind of person who cannot work out that this is the attitude of a girl who would end up getting you to pay for expensive taxis, presents, restaurants and the like once you are there, then I can see why you have ended up with that 'girlfriend' of yours.
I have even met girls who paid for their own train and/or air fare to go and meet me
You really talk rubbish just to try and provr that you are some kind of expert in FSU women here (I will accept you are with women who sell sex)
On the subject of detecting professional daters before you buy your air ticket, here is a possible signal but I could be paranoid:
Some girls send you photos of them getting a big bunch of flowers and/or a present at their flat door. I take it this is the kind of thing agencies/flower services do to prove to men who paid good money for the service to verify that the girl actually got the stuff they ordered. But then it makes you wonder how many men have done the same thing with the girl, whether the girl is attached to an agency or 'present delivery service' and whether this is the kind of thing she is expecting of you.
Similarly, some girls tell you they earn little money but send you photos of them in fancy restaurants or holiday places. Who paid for that? surely not the girl. I take it some of them are sending you photos taken during their dates with other Western men! Any men who recognise the photos in dating sites, should tell the site adminstrators but it is not strictly wrong of the girl to do so.
One guy reported a girl as a scammer as he had gone to see her, he bought her presents, he took her to nice places, in a couple of trips. Then the girl said no when he asked her to marry him. Where is the obligation of any woman to marry any bloke who takes her out? It depends if she had been leading him on in the course of the relationship, I guess. I say it was his fault for spending that kind of money thinking it was buying him the girl.
$100? For a cab ride? I took a cab from kiev to sumy for $150, a 5 hour drive! If you ate dating a woman $100 Cab ride away, maybe you should stay in her oblast.
Tom - why take a cab to another city? The roads are dangerous and in disrepair.
The train system works quite well. Take the Luxe compartment. It's reasonable and there are a lot of express trains running now. For example Kyiv - Kharkiv in about 4.5 hrs. Kyiv - Odesa in about 7.
TomZ,, I’ve taken the same taxi as Tom Shea. It was an agency taxi, and the best rate to Sumy. It would be a better deal, if the driver spoke some English. He was a good driver,,,, but I did see 150kmph a few times,,, and in the winter.
I take taxis so I don’t have to fumble around with language issues. I’ve gone from Green Bay to Sumy with no layover ,,,, I don’t want to deal with catching a train or bus.
