zzi, no anger here . Ask your balanced couple you know how angry I am. The part that bothers me is the hypocricy. To condemn the journey for and FSU bride as a waste of time then sell the merits of another place. Making a comment that only 1 percent succeed. I've been to Thailand a few times. To compare airports is a little silly. I wouldn't give you a plug nickle for southeast asia. I have been there plenty of times. More graft and corruption there than in Ukraine. So the one percent who succeed is probably by far better than southeast asia.
I don't need to switch to decaf. My life is balanced. I didn't search for a woman with a check list. Or spend time telling her she had to jump in the work force to help pay my bills. I didn't search for a woman with income in mind. Plus if you found a real decent woman she wasn't going to be a spendthrift. The real ones have struggled most of their lives and understand the value of money and the lack of having such. I also wouldn't place demands on her that I won't place on myself. That's the part of finding a real decent woman. I didn't use the head in my pants to think with, nor did I let a pretty face steal my common sense. I didn't have the savior mentality when I searched. I've heard many guys use the comment,that where you live now is far better than where you were. What nonsense.
If you wasted your time going to visit mental cases and big spenders then you didn't do your research very well before going, and that's not the womans fault. That's your fault. I'm not of the ilk that thinks you should get your ass on a plane the first time she asks. If during my correspondence, a woman subscribed to something that I didn't agree with, well I wasn't going to continue the communication, hell let alone get on a plane and waste time and money for something that wasn't going anywhere.
As for saying you don't have a privilege of seeing things right or wrong or black or white. Why don't you? It's not a divine gift. No I'm not going to be PC for anyone. I call it as I see it. That's what individuality is all about. I'm not going to be a sell out, so I don't offend others, or just to make the environment more comfortable. You make the same assumptions about the women from the FSU. Whacked out impressions for newcomers? What the hell is that? That's being judgmental my dear Izi, the thing you're chastising me for.
If you're going to count pennies in search of a lady from the FSU, you'd better stop your search before you even become a member at a place like Fiance.com. When you start putting a bottom line on what it's worth, then it's worth absolutely nothing. You don't need spreadsheets to find a good woman. On the flipside, what are you willing to give, to find a wonderful, decent woman? What dollar amount can you put on that? What effort is that worth in your life? I was tired of putting my effort in for ungrateful women here. Maybe my judgment was bad with American women, and no doubt it was. When a guy spouts off that a middle class guy can't make it with woman from the FSU, it makes me laugh. First and foremost why does money have to enter in the equation? Larysa hasn't had to work since she's been here. Now she wants to. Not for paying bills, but because she wants a little more in her life. She's been busying working on our home. I've made adjustments in my life to compensate for her not working. Like going back to a demanding job for greater income. Establishing a second business. Was it worth it. You bet your ass it was. I work a long day, then I come home and work on our house. Why because she is worth every damn bit of my effort, because she gives back to me far more than I can ever give back to her. If that is bending on my knee, so be it. You guys want the old time traditional relationship, well that's where the guy was the bread winner and took care of his family, not putting the woman’s ability to contribute to the family income as part of the scenario. You want the traditional servant, also you want her to step up and make your life more comfortable with her income. I've never needed a woman for income. Nor do I even consider her for it. Comfort leads to complacency.
You live within your means, or you work to improve it. Not relying on the woman to improve it. Isn't that what being a man is about? Guys want women of "traditional values" but don't want to accept the responsibility of their part of the traditional family. They want the traditional slave not a traditional woman. I've never had the pleasure until now, that I was the main focus of any woman’s life. It's humbling and also awesome in the same time. The nuclear family created the divisions in the American family. It took 45 years to achieve what I grew up with my parents. Where their love and support for each other was the omnipotent thing in their lives. I have this now with the little lady from Ukraine. So if I am part of the one percent, well it surely was worth every minute of my time.
Hell when you complain about the immigration part of it, that was the easiest part of it all. From the K1 to her green card. Simple. The rest takes work. So if you're not willing to accept your mantle of responsibility, then searching for a woman in the FSU shouldn't be in your plans. So if you call it anger, when I refute silly claims of the Merits of another country, which with Ukraine I have been to 42 now, Yep I'm the most pissed off guy in this forum. I don't spend my time in other forums, like your Thai forum telling them what a scam and rip off Thai women are. If I would have failed with a Thai woman, then I would have to do a self assessment of where I failed? Gee maybe it was me and my unreal expectations. If I would have failed here, I wouldn't come back and tell others what a miserable waste of time it is, interjectionally label all the women as gold diggers and lazy. Maybe I failed, just

regarding an expanse of water saving Britain from the germans - you are saying it was not the british u.s aus soldiers or the air force then ? they were just incidental???
if your simplistic line of logic is to be followed to its conclusion, Then maybe you can explain why the island of Crete was invaded by the German army despite being surrounded by water, or the fact that there is an expanse of water between German occupied Norway in 1940. and even large tracts of North Africa were occupied by the German army despite the fact the mediteranean sea was between them and europe.
You are out your depth here on this subject .instead of firing off e mails to the moderator of this forum asking for any post to be removed that disagrees with you as you usually do -i would suggest you go back to playing with your nintendo because your typical loudmouth ignorance on historical matters is monumental.
Van,
It is hard fact that the Germans simply couldn't breach that final stretch of water from France to England or otherwise they would have just come strolling along as they had done throughout N. france and up until 22 miles from the British mainland coast.
Now how that stretch of water was defended or fought over was not the point I was making, whether it have been the British, US, Australians, Canadians, Polish or whatever that either defended it or fought over it but the fact remains, and you are not going to persuade me otherwise, that had that stretch of water not been there then the story, the history, would have been a whole lot different.
Norway, Crete, Africa etc. were neither part of my point, I never suggested that water is the saviour of all defenders, that's kinda like saying that if one builds a rocket one can get to the moon but how many have actually made it there?
Getting back to QCs original post, it appears I do not have the zen thinging going. The only frustration about my trip was language. I do not have the desire or patience to build a relationship with someone I could not not talk to. I like the small talk and chatter. To sit over a meal and say nothing sounds absurd to me.
With my girl, I sometimes found it very frustrating when the conversation would get bogged down trying to explain something. I would constantly have to remind myself that I am the silly one not knowing russian. My girl told me she taught russian in her spare time but what she meant is study. Even after trying to explain the difference six times we would be driving past the university and she would say, "that is where I teach". No darling that is where you study. The subtle difference is still lost on her.
My only recommendation I have for anyone travelling to russia, is to learn as much russian as possible.
I would like to re-itterate what I said in another thread about the languauge of communication
"Love without a common language of communication between you and a foreign woman can not exist unless she can speak and fully understand English or you can speak her native language and understand it"
As for fiance visa's from an Australian standpoint ( and this is for Australian applicants wanting to bring a foreign girl here to Australia ), the only appicable visa allowed is the prospective spouse sub-class 300 visa ( equivelant of a US K1 visa or fiance visa ) and when the Australian embassy interviews her, it will be expected that she will understand English as the interview will be conducted in English by the consular officer and not be able to speak English is a big disadvantage and increases the chances of a visa rejection..in any case Australian fiance visas are bloody hard to get for Russian, Ukrainian or CIS country girls as they are all processed from Moscow, our only embassy for the whole of the former Russia.
For the girl not to speak and understand English to a vocational level ( she does not have to speak perfect English but enough to get a job in Australia ) is a big disadvantage..if you can only say "Hello" or "Goodbye" as the whole extent of her English language, she will never get a visa to Australia.
In February of 2007, the Australian government tightened the requirements to gain citizenship here, with a English written citizenship test on Australian culture and history ( requiring good English reading and comprehension abililty ) that must be passed before a migrant can get citizenship and a focus on skilled migration with migrants being able to speak and understand English before coming here and people with recognised skills and qualifications ( many Russian/Ukrainian qualifications such as University degrees are not recognised ).
Any foreign lady who applies for a fiance visa to Australia, will have no hope, if she can't speak and understand reasonable English now ( well enough to be able to work ) and if all she can say is "cat" or "dog", she will not be flying out of Russia or whereever but flying out of the Australian embassy with her file marked "application rejected"!
Lets not mince words here..this is the reality of developing relationships with foreign girls.
If she can't speak or understand English, she will go nowhere and you will go nowhere with her, guys!
I can't imagine anything as stupid and awkward, as using a translator for everything..theres no privacy ( well you going to have the translator in the bedroom with you and her, to translate "take your clothes of and lets have a shag" because she does not understand English..this is an extreme example but it drives home the point..how can love develop in private if you have "person 3, the translator" around all the time..it will not work this way!
The most important requisite for developing a relationship with a foreign girl is a common, understandable language and preferably the language of your country..if its English it must be!
Aussieman I find that pointing my finger in her direction followed by pointing it at my fly followed by pointing it at my mouth usually speaks volumes!
Aussieman, I think the point is well taken, while some intimate acts could be done without a common language, a true marriage will need communication, which is your point I think. I am curious, how many in this community speak enough Russian to hold a conversation? (as opposed to just enough to order a beer!)
Has anyone here tried to find out if the girl is real (not Boris!!!) by calling up on the phone? I have not been at this as long as some of you, but if she doesn't have her phone # listed, I ask in the first letter. I am lucky that I learned to speak Russian fairly well.(they can always GET calls, even if no funds to dial out. Not like in USA, where you pay both incoming + outgoing min.) If she doesnt want to give out the # then something is wrong.
i was married to a Polish lady for 7 years.
neither of us spoke each others language. But we communicated using an electronic ecteo type translator. after 18 months we gradually understood each other through a combination of learning each others language.
Aussieman back again with the diatribe ohh so NOT CORRECT , all the english crap needed come to aussie ( what a lot of crock ) absolute crapola - when i got mine to hear she was 25 words of english at best -ok long ago ( but hey it makes no difference if your deft or dumb ) as to wheather you fit the ''bill '' to arrive to another country as a mear tourist .
Jeses if that was the case how discriminatory would that be ---ohh you cant come visit sweetheart you dont speak the lingo as we as ''the powers that be '' are so concerned that he won't be able to ask you to make him a cuppu .
What a lot od s-----t........
Look at all the german woman tourists in aussie at present 3/4 of them can't say good morning .
Aussieman your a law unto yourself - if we all believed your diatribe we'd all be in the monestary as according to you / no person can go anywhere !!!
Of course guys the now 33.000 ( on the increase ) of russians in Australia according to aussieman are of course a total figment of our imagination yes !!!
You must have gotten beat as a kid aussieman you have a screw loose .
All the visa bullshit to australia is OLD HAT - aussieman your reading out of a ''how to do it book dated 1972 ''
Aussieman put thyne to a test ( me ) give me all your girls details - if i cant with all propper forms have her hear for you Hassle free in 100 days --il give you my bankbook to have a play with --you can have some fun .
What a lot of crap you do talk sub class this / that 300 derrr --48R dipstick will get any correct russian to Australia --thats how mine came hear 48R VISA that was recommended to me by DEFAT ----
Want the guys name there who took me all through it .
mind you iam very secure no risk with this duck. and even if somebody has asked me for 5k garrantee i can just go to the draw and pass it to them .
Everything they asked me for i produced i just kept saying yes what else would you like and about 35 x yes's later she had aussie visa tourist to hear .
We dont hear much on visa's anymore thank god everybody woke up and realised its not so hard after all .( only for the brokies / bums ----thier is failure as reward )
you need a quid --------------it opens all doors !
Nasfan reading back through the posts mate ( i sincearly hope you guys have not gotten me confused with some guy looking for marriage )
If so iam definatly not a person whom started going to russia in 1999 looking for love - hey i WORKED THERE ! at times ---- girls and love just came along as an extra !
Marriage iam not really interested in iam a big believer in the forever girl / man relations not into RINGS and things . definately not iam very ANTI that sort of thing.
whats marraige mate your just a meal ticket you know --i had 18 years of marraige brother / sister type relations i watched other half turn from 8 stone to 14 stone i exited in 1998 nobody on hear could ever pay me enough to go down that road again ,
Hey mate what i say / what ive seen FSU women ok mine's ok ( thank god ) overall she's ok but --from the point of view - mine ! iam not looking for marriage you know it dosent interest me -if it happens it happens --- but i don't put the big ''fan fair carnival ticket to it '' .
Why wreck a good relationship with marriage !-----weather iam married of not it wont detract from how i look after my girl and our daughter .
It all works fine -------so why rock the boat ?
to the fsu women yes clearing of the air Sorry but without a western guy you have zero ! i dont know weather thats shallow or not ------but it is a fact of life.
You have in russia / ukraine 11 .4 million more women than men and thats increasing .
No i do believe without us they have zero ( il argue that till the cows come home ).
Iam a real generous guy and iam happy to be that ---but if iam going to go 23,000ks round trip from aussie to Rostov / moscow go through all the crap / airports militia / all the risk to me ----------my bloody oath iam going to want respect at the other end !
after all its all ''favour mode'' from our end to them ----we don't have to be thier !
its all fact its all ''tin tac's !
IF my girl comes the ''take it '' tone of voice with me im fire back like the Missouri Battleships `16 inch guns believe me ! no free rides this world and iam not going to go that far spend $1000's to get insulted .
nobody should have to wear that ! anybody that does is a mug !
If i want a filthy week with a tart well for $1000 i can duck over to thailand you know for 5 days root myself to death but no ! i wont do that --for many reasons iam a well off bloke i like to help --and i view my relations as ongoing help in a way , thats good / thats great iam prepared to give right arm to help somebody --------i ask nothing in return except
loyalty -absolutely
coutesy - absolutely
honesty - 10000%
now those 3 things should come standard with any woman whom can look at 1 side of her table see only $250 usd a month forever and struggle .
and i dont give a shit what anybody says russia is sliding backwards in many ways !) decreasing population etc etc its a nasty joint .
Nothing going for it.
Or view the other offer Mr westerner whom can lift life 4 grades by comparrison in all ways and he can keep the gravy coming for years .
No a Russian man cant do it --- like that--- ok we all know that !
THIS ELIMINATES THE ''CHOOSY FACTOR OF THE WOMAN ''( when you have millions all on own where is thier choice ? if she does go down that road then she truly is looking the gift horse in the mouth -
The amount of western men whom ''talk of going '' as opposed to ones who really do go is like 5 go 105 stay at home and dream !!( the Martin's of this world )
HOW MANY MEN OF ALL RACES COMBINED ACTUALLY LAND IN RUSSIA PER YEAR FROM ALL COUNTRIES COMBINED --LETS GUESS 2000 / 5000 AT BEST ( who would have the money to do it??? 3 people in 500 and who's to say they want to go to russia !
i CAN GO 8 TIMES A YEAR IF I WANT TOO BUT GOLLY find another in my state who can do that?? you would be a long time walking ! to find 5 blokes to go with you in my state where 2 million live .
And when you found the 5 3 would be to scared to go !!= fact !
--OK YOU HAVE 11.4 MILLION WOMEN RUNNING AROUND in FSU 80% starving for a life and a guy ---is it sinking in guys ????? then you have this ever so small party of western guys who go do the save the damsell thing --a lot fall on thier faces ! and i think that sucks !
Westerner arriving to look after a bird should damn near be greated ''ticker tape parade'' nar fuggitt we take all the risk and at times get spoken too like crap / deciet all the bullshit and for what ?? --------for being a nice guy trying to do the right thing !!! no its pretty rude mate ( agencies should be paying US to come to thier if in fact they truly do have the womans interest at heart )
No balls to that thats NOT in the FAIF GO BASKET !
Reinterating the fact again ---------i don't have to be thier --iam thier because i want to look after my sweetheart/ and child --not because she is asking for it .
so when you doing it all because you care -- then its a whole different ball game yes --
I don't believe in all agency crap / go meet 6 girls all that crap grease palms with $100's no iam a non believer in all that crap -i like up front reality .
OFF THE SOAP BOX HAVE A GOOD SUNDAY GUYS !
MIKE00
Mike00..... you are a God among men. If i had ur juice, i would be right behind you, going to the FSU to find out for myself instead of pleading with the forum lemmings, trying to, make some sense of of my experiences. I thought i missed the boat somehow in the FSU, Sadly, i was right on. Lucky u to be blessed with the juice to walk the walk in the FSU. Right now i can swing 6 weeks a year in Asia and L/A.... check me in 10 years... i might be following in your footsteps.
What is really starting to sink in with me is that i can NEVER bring another girl here again, no matter how much i would like it. Even guys like me are excellent prospects for marrige in the FSU, but the sad fact is that these girls are always scouting for the "Bigger an' better" deal. Once she gets here, there will be tons of options for her, not only with other men, but oppertunities for career and independence. When she is in the FSU, YOU are the "Bigger an' better" deal. Once she sets foot on western soil, all that changes. If anyone reading this is determined to bringing a girl to a western country, u better damn well be sure she loves you.
so, Mike00 u are on the right track... take as many trips as you can. Maintain a loooooong courtship. I am doing this right now, hitting Peru and the Philippines on the regular to see the same girlS. I aint talking marrige to anyone. Perhaps after i have known her for a few years, i can entertain the thought of marrige.
Gentlemen, marrige is serious business, so it only makes sense that we start SERIOUS relationships with a girl before a mad dash to the alter. Cant be done in one trip or even 3.... it takes YEARS to make the kind of relationship that warrents marrige.
Now Mike, that is the biggest diatribe of nonsense you've ever written. Also one of the most arrogant. If I translated English correctly. Respect, that's earned, not by travelling and throwing a few bucks around.Respect is a two way street. Hopefully there is more to her respect than the fact you've travelled a tossed around a few bucks. You can be a generous person without tossing a buck and thinking you're a generous fellow. Hell that can be done were I live and watch it so often, talk about a shallow life. One's time is a more precious commodity than the dollar we give.
When you have to throw money in the equation to me, it's value is little. There are many western losers going to the FSU that have bank rolls larger than ours Mike. They are what they are rich losers. Who couldn't find a woman in their own countries because they are pathetic human beings and think that their bank account can buy them love and a slave. Then when these intelligent women kick them to the curb for being what they are. They spend their time writing on forums telling us what a scam the FSU is. Though they won't tell what a scam they are as human beings.
When we compare our lifestyles to one's who live Russia and Ukraine, that's pretty arrogant. You can say it's fact, still it's arrogant. I know some Ukrainian guys that give their wives a pretty decent life. What's a good life? Really what would you rather have in life, a wonderful companion that loves you for who you are and respects you for your character, or one that doesn't love you but hangs on because you have a couple of bucks? I would rather be poor materially and in love richly than what I've had before. Money and beauty are fleeting commodities. Real true love withstands the hands of time.
You're opinion on marriage is your business. I'm not PC, but they're are absolutes in life, and many people want to deny they exist. Marriage is one of the absolutes. What has happened is we have devalued the true existence of marriage and lowered to a contract for separation of property. Not what the true meaning of marriage is. Since now in many western countries, it just guarantees half of one's property, no matter who had it or who worked for it. In the same, it is the reason I vehemently disagree with prenuptial agreements. If your so damned worried about losing your property, then you value material things over lifes true treasures. You then cannot give of yourself what is needed to another if you're worried about your material possesions.
i agree with you mike. i am not sure why the other chap here thinks western men that go to FSU countries are losers-i think that must put many of posters on here me included in that category though i am not from u.s i am from u.k. Certainly for me the 3 and half hour flight journey is more convenient than going accross the atlantic in search of a wife.
Some specifics need to be addressed though why do American men travel the long journey accross the atlantic when there are alternative to American females nearer home in say Mexico Caribbean countries or even colombian women.I think the truth is that many American men are desperate and have been rejected by their own women in the u.s.
Jens,
But you have never met 'Natalya". I would fly east, west, up or down to have her in my arms!!!!!!!
You want specifics....5'9', 117 lbs and a face that should be on Glamour magazine!! Any other questions???
you are dead right jens the yankies is a desperate

ASSHOLES TO THAT
IAM TO THE PLANE CARONA IN HAND ---OFF TO KEEP ''THE BRITISH END UP '' AS BOND SAID OHH GOD LOVE HIM.
sorry I am not even able to read what you wrote: too much, to slangy. you probably were typing your posts with speed of light:) you are amy be a best seller in Australia.
You missed it almost as bad as Mike00 has. It has nothing to do with not being able to find a woman in the states. It's not that difficult, I've never had a problem with it. Though if you want some prozac laden victim in life. You're hunting will be incredible in the states.
If you fit the loser category so be it. The arrogance and nonsense that is written sometimes by Mike00 needs to be taken to task. I thought he was the expert on Russia? How much time did he spend in Ukraine? I know some really decent guys that Give their wives a good life in Ukraine, as the majority it's not there. Nor is it in Russia as Mike00 claims.
Mike00 you claim so much of your posts as being reality when most of the time all you do is toss around dollar figures. Wow, no kidding it cost's money to travel to the FSU. Now that's reality. Take your two turds and use them for Fertilizer.
As for bringing a woman to the States, it's another thing I don't think you have too much clue about. Good one's don't get money crazy, only if you treat them like you are in Russia, last of the big spenders. You're post's are laden with how much money you dropped on your trips and how you spoil the Girl in Russia. Well that's pretty impressive. So if you want to live a vacant life, that's your business. When you go to a place like Russia and Ukraine, to live like a big shooter the stark reality is when you get back to your homeland, you're just pretty much the average schmuck on the street. The reality is, you can impress your lady in Ukraine, Russia where the lifestyle is less than ours, the reality is when you bring her here she finds out you're not quite the High Roller you tried to impress her with back in her country. That's being a phoney, so you have wasted time trying to be someone you're not, then she comes to your land and finds out the Reality. Save it for someone else that impresses easily.
Viva if it's so wonderful there, why even post on this forum? Unless you're still stomping your sour grapes with Izzi. Your posts have some truth, just like I explained to Mike, if you live like you're someone else in another country, why shouldn't the girl scout for something else. Hell these ladies in the FSU can find enough bullshitters in their own countries.
you people can't speak english i think you should spend a 2 week period in australia then you see everybody writes and speaks the same if you can't understand it i think its time you went back to school .
mike 00
viva il write from russia mate --------may even get sweetheart to log a post ok il see if she will -------hey if she does its a non event thing you know --she's not questionable / answerable / accountable to anybody --she write a line or two with a smile .
don't judge her ok guys she's exempt !i have let her have read of some posts in january she didnt comment much to me --only said darlink not so many on hear know what is talk about is very strange !!! nyet she said is much is not correct .
anyways ---to the plane --iam going to have a splurge spoil her rotten luv it
My wife had a good chuckle with Darlink. She thinks you're watching too much 60's black and white TV. Russian speakers who speak English don't really say Darlink, that's just an English version of a translation to make them sound eastern European. Since she has been a student of languages all her life, writing in one's native slang is not so common either, unless they want to impress someone of where they live. Which can be easily done by saying, I'm an Aussie, then maybe Olga will be able to understand your rambling diatribes.
As with your wife being exempt, that will only work with some people here with class. Other wise she will be referred to as a dyke or a tart by some of the self proclaimed experts. Who also give great advice on Shopping in Kiev for guys looking for a lady in Ukraine.
I hope you splurge on attention and affection not just material things. Since you commented on Vampires from Ukraine. Sounds like you're a 5 Star contributor to the Russian Bloodbank.
When I met my wife, I exposed her to a crucifix, she didn't shun it, so I must have been one of the lucky ones in Ukraine. Yep I'm a real desperate Yank.
Didn't you use to post under Mike777? You actually used understandible english then. Instead of the Australian version of Cockney Slang some here use to refer to yanks(septics).
