I told that story before. Someone told me his experience is the same. Remembering the words comes when it is used in conversation. You must have good memory, LR. You are better than both of us.
A good memory can also be a curse,,, as I remember all of the BS people tell me,,,, and a few good things too.
I remember most of the words from movies. If there is something interesting in the movie, you can replay it as often as you want. That’s how I remember.
I have Russian language lessons on cassette too,, but I fall asleep after just 5 minutes.
Cassette? You still have one of those? The only way the CD works for me is if I am driving. I probably won't fall asleep, but I will not keep still to listen to it.
It does pays to learn Russian, especially if you are dealing with FSU countries. So get some iTunes or a MP3 player while running a 5k !!! Hit the source, VK, FB, Mamba or any other free sites and play the field. Agree that she will be reluctant to relocate without prior knowledge of your language (communication is key to happiness).
Lonely, I dont know what you are talking about!
Nikolaev has plenty of good girls. perhaps you are scammer magnet? thing is, you only spent 10 bucks
on agency anything because you havent even been here in 2 years.
I met 4 hot young ladies in Nikolaev last week and we spent the day together. Went to McDonalds, walked around by river,
messed around, drank some beer and they showed me how flexible they were;) They wanted me to choose which one I liked most and I said I liked all 4 of them
and would simply take all 4 out again (Im obviously having 4 on 1 thoughts,lol) I met them at the bus stop on graduation day. You can meet girls anywhere
in Ukraine if you are attractive and have good personality. In fact, those girls came up to me.
If you see one you like and she is alone or with some friends
just go up to her and try your luck. Worst that can happen is she says "go away"
kaiserdag is right, it DOES pay to learn Russian even if its just the basics. Girls like it that you are interested enough in their country to learn the language. You say you want to meet village girl but I got news for you, village girls usually dont know english. Even a poor girl is going to want to be taken care of.
Another thing girls dont like is men who NEVER come to Ukraine. If you want a girl then the only way is to make the trip. Ive also met many girls who really dont care to move to America. They are fine being your girlfriend if you come often enough.
I often get the impression that some people are terminally ignorant when it comes to Ukrainian girls.
Nobody needs to tell me anything about Nikolaev! I’ve received more letters from women in Nikoleav than any other city in Ukraine! They go directly into the virtual trash.
“kaiserdag is right, it DOES pay to learn Russian even if its just the basics”
Perhaps you should read some of the previous posts in the middle of this page.
“You say you want to meet village girl but I got news for you, village girls usually dont know english. Even a poor girl is going to want to be taken care of.”
I know fewer girls in the country speak English,,,, doesn’t that make my search even more difficult??
Country people are poorer?? Maybe over there.
Who says I wouldn’t take care of her??? Because I live in the country,,, therefore I must be poor?? Or because we may not speak the same language??
If I had to pick a Ukrainian town that was most like where I live,,, it would be Yalta! No,, I have not been there, but I heard many stories, viewed many photos and had even planned to visit the place,,,,, if I ever found someone worth taking.
“Ive also met many girls who really dont care to move to America”
I’ve been asked by a couple of women if I would consider living in Ukraine,,, I had to tell them: No.
“I often get the impression that some people are terminally ignorant when it comes to Ukrainian girls.”
Me too!!! What some men don’t realize is that women are throwing themselves at the guys wallet,,, and not at them!!
Rick,,, do you really think that you’re all that???
you sound so bitter Lonely.
some may throw themselves at a guy's wallet but usually they simply want a man who they know can take care of them.
I never said you were poor but you do sound like a guy Ukrainian girls dont like and that is one who "always counts his money".
I bought a girl a laptop and clothes she wanted, big deal. I often left her at my apartment and spent time with Moya.
Girls will understand if you tell them a limit if you are a giving person generally. 2 days I had issue with 2 cards getting blocked.
When I said I only have a few hundred grivna today it was no big deal. One night Moya even bought us 6 beers for the beach. Girls here
arent just takers. they give also when they trust you.
Yalta is one of the most expensive and scamming city in Ukraine, they try to scam everyone and they don't care if you are ukrainian or american, well if you are english speaker it'll cost you more :)
Moya,,, I’ve traveled to cities like Kiev, Moscow, NY, Toronto, etc, where they are known for their high prices and prices are just as high here in my home town.
We don’t refer to it as scamming,,, but rather “tourist traps” instead!
We have more shoreline here, than anywhere else in the US,,, and maybe beyond?
It’s been called “The Cape Cod of the Midwest”.
People come here by the millions each year.
Tom, I agree you can find success with an agency and there are a few decent ones out there. You are also right in saying no particular way works best
for all. Age difference isnt as big a deal as in the US but there are practical implications as the age gets younger, however, your situation is far from
problematic at 38-54. In fact it is rather normal in that age group. The problems came when the girl is really young and there is nothing in common and the connection is his money and her body. If there is no commonality or chemistry (which is most of the time)the the length of the relationship will obviously be limited. 19 year old girls and 50 year old men is a recipe for failure. Even 19/40 has a significantly higher probability of success.
Of course if marriage isnt your goal and you are good with a 2-3000/mo budget for dating young girls then go for it.
There is no doubt that there are advantages and disadvantages of dating sites and agencies. But I am a lucky person as the dating agency helped me to find my sweetheart! When I decided to join it, I had little hopes and I didn’t even think that I would meet my beloved lady! She is from Ukraine! After our meeting in reality we started planning our wedding! we are happy and we are really thankful to the dating site http://www.mariya-club.com/profile/PureLove/176670/653515/ that we have found each other!
Getreal, and armin, those statements sound quite authoritative, but alas, wrong. Please, maybe you can tell me how women make money from the non pay per letter sites, like fiance? The fact is I always had some agency women lined up before i went. I would meet other women and dated many others on my trips over there, but there was always agency girls to fall back on. Besides that, I only wrote to women who spoke at least a 7 english. No letter fees, no interpreter fees, and a good deal on the apartment. Where did the agency fleece me?
Ooh yea, and me, an ugly old man of 55 married a 34 year old woman who had just retired from modeling. Very very attractive woman.
She signed a iron clad pre nup.
So not all agencies are scams, us "old ugly guys" can marry beautiful younger women, and my wife has dozens of friends who asked her to set her up with a guy like me. So other than those three errors, good post
So far, I have liked most of the Nikolaev "scammers" I have corresponded with. A couple appear to be greedy. Most give lousy chat. A couple are nice and very engaging on-line. I find it hard to believe a much older overweight man like me would chat with these girls and not know what is going on.
One of them might be setting me up with a more age appropriate lady friend. She was lousy on chat, but very nice. She was a persistent Miss wow girl.
I am fortunate in that I will be able to go and hang out a while and eventually relocate. Though MartinPC's images of the Philippines are giving me second thoughts about the Ukraine.
Nikolaev? Why people go there is a mystery to me. That is the world epicenter of scammers. I always tried to avoid scammers, not follow them to their lairs.
You should try smaller cities that aren't the tourist centers away from the beaches. I'm not going to pay a pic of my wife, but lonely has seen a pic of her. It really depends on what type woman you like, tall and fair or normal and darker.
