Not exactly, though there are women that will be ok with this, most women will want to have a child with you when you marry but then some will honor your wishes not to have children. Being new here you have not learned the value systems of the Russian women, there fore you can not yet appreciate them but after some experience you will understand what I am saying. I don't think 50 and 60 year old women will have children to worry you. generally Russian woman marry later in their teens and have families right away. This is their purpose to make a home and care for a family. I believe that out of 13,441 women here you can have what ever you want. Yahoo Buckaroo start writing some letters to the girls. go ahead get your feet wet.
Well I see that the thread still lives! I want to say that I really enjoy this forum and the info I gain off it. I am currently going into a one on one correspondence with a 28 yr old lady from Latvia (I am 34) and the kid thing is not an issue. Like Pithka said earlier she just wants someone she can rely on. Wessman, on the Vasectomy thing I was only going by what the doctors were telling me when they were doing the proceedure. Seeing that I am in the military they probably embelished it because they did not want to pay for the reversal if I did happen to change my mind in the future. Zuke
Sure there's women that don't want kids and some are not over 60 - some are very young - they happen to be former men who for some strange reason are not physically able to have kids.
Lemme ask you something: If your thinking about spending large amounts of cash on a woman from the FSU, surely it would be cheaper to simply use a prostitute?
Wess, you have no real experience either yet you freely dish out an opinion, thats all. An opinion not proper,y reseached. You post is from chocolate happy happy land.
Yes I have an opinion, as this is a forum it is expected that participants express their opinions. About experience, because I have not traveled to the FSU, this discounts my views and makes me so inexperienced I should just keep my mouth shut. You mean my fifty years of living is not enough experience. So, all my years of study and research concerning psychology, the mind, and human development become useless because my experience is finite and yours so broad. What kind of experience teaches you that you have the power or the audacity to suppress a person’s ideology just because you disagree? My real question is what the hell are you lamenting about? Again I would ask you to do the resarch and see if it does not support my opinion.
No I was not drunk wess, maybe you are. You say that after some time you will learn to apreciate there values and you say it like you do understand there values. Trust me wesswhen I tell you that the girls you speakmof are few. Most of these girls do not marry when they are young now and fall pregnet. They are very ambituois when they are so young and most of them in this day and age are busy at school learneing, not wiping babies bums. When you tlk wess you never talk as if you express and opinion, you talk like you know for a fact and what you wrote about is not true for the morjority. I am not trying to insult you but you always talk to people as if you opinion is better than there true experience.
By the way, are you an electrician as I thought I read that here
And wess, age dose not imediately mean any person is wise, though I am not saying you are not
Wess and ID you're both correct. There are many girls, and for some to have the family is the goal of their life, they will leave the work after getting married or after giving the birth of the first child and will stay at home to look after the children and to take care about their families. There are some who want to have a good job and they concentrate on it and they will never get married early.
There are lots of cases when people get married because the girl is pregnant. Often this happens in the age of 18-19.
In many families there are still ideas that the girl who is not married until 20 or 30 years old is a hopeless girl, and their families do everything to get them married until this age. And so on and so forth.
Though ID is correct that girls go to Universities and Institutes but different girls have different goals. Some want to have an education and then start working, some just need a diploma because their parents told them to get it, some go to the University or Institute just to find a husband...because in Universities or Institutes there is a bigger chance to find a good man!!!
So there are many cases and many variants...so each of you is correct...:)))
Id, perhaps I am sharing data and information and not an opinion, so you perceive that I do not have an opinion because I usually preface my opinion by stating that is just my opinion. On the whole I make statements of fact, such as it is a fact that women in the FSU typically marry at an early age and have families because these are the facts not my opinion. As I have stated many times already I do the research and do not shoot from the hip. Let me ask you why do you think young beautiful women will marry a man from the other side of the world, relocate there with a man fifteen years older than them speaking a different language that they do not understand.
http://www.demographic-research.org/volumes/vol10/2/10-2.pdf
This is just one source that states that FSU women marry at a very early age.
No I am not an electrician, I am a theoretical annalist, and I help people become better people. I am a therapist, a behaviorist and a writer. It is my job and my nature to motivate people to look at their behavior and to make changes. All parts of my work require research.
Women of the FSU would rather marry than go to college, there are not enough marriage minded men, as Ptichka said many go to find a husband of value.
Wess let me give an example...in my group there were 21 girls. After 1 year after our graduation what we have...we have 4 married girls, and all the rest are not married. From the not married part of 17 girls, only about 8 date for a long time (I mean for over a year and more). What did I want to show is...that we all have different goals. Only about 1/3 of all girls goes to University to find a husband, and these girls don't care about their own education. All the rest care about their education in this or that degree.
But you can't say that women from FSU would rather get married then go to study, this is not true. There are many girls and all have their own goals.
As for me, as an example, I went to the University because I wanted to get the education to develop personally and in future to get a good job which I will like. I thought that there (in the University) I would probably meet a man with whom we will date, but this was somewhere in the background of my mind. Well this happened and I'm very happy:) We both are very happy:) But at the same time I didn't leave the University and studied more, went to the course to get Master's degree. And my boyfriend wants me to go to study at post-graduate course. I don't boast, I never do, I just want to show that all girls have their own ideas on what their future should be.
Out of 21 girls, none except me continued studying to get the Master degree. It means that they just didn't want and need this.
And let me share a little secret, I doubt that the majority of girls can be made to do what she doesn't like to. She can be made only if her parents are a big authority to her and they tell her what to do, if there is something or somebody thretening her and her family. In other cases if a girl does something it means that she either likes it, or she needs it to get something in future...as far as I know no other variants...
Good points Ptichka, I should say Russia not FSU, is it true or not that women from the FSU are marrying men from overseas because they do not have enough eligible men for marriage. Is it true a lot of the men abuse alcohol and are not inclined to marry when they can move from one woman to another. Is it true that there are 13 females to 10 males in Russia disproportionate to the loss of men to war? In Russia the women today are marrying at a very early age compared to my country, not sure about Ukraine or Australia where Id is from. I understand that women have different goals, different ideals, this thing about marraige and age with Id has nothing to do with women in FSU or the age they marry it is about personalities and conflict. Perhaps Id likes confrontation and that is ok with me.
We can split hairs but in Russia it is a fact women marry early over 40 percent marry by 21 and the main goal today still, is to have a family even though secondary education has risen along with the age to marraige rate. This priority has not changed for the majority of young women. Please check out the link in the thread above.
here it says the same thing different site.
Russia's total fertility rate, which hovered around two lifetime births per woman from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, has dropped steeply since 1987, falling to 1.4 births per woman in 1994. This decline has been accompanied by a trend toward earlier marriage and child-bearing. Contraceptive use is limited, and abortion is the main fertility regulation method for many women. In 1992, the abortion rate was 98 per 1,000 women aged 15-49 and abortions outnumbered births by more than two to one. These are among the findings that Russian analysts presented at a 1995 conference on demo-graphic trends in post-Soviet Russia.(1)
Modernization and the Family
One researcher described the demo-graphic changes that have occurred as part of the rapid modernization of Russian society in general.(2) Between 1959 and 1989, the proportion of Russian families living in urban areas rose from 53% to 74%, and the rate of labor-force participation among women aged 20-54 rose from 70% to 80%. In addition, levels of education increased considerably: The proportion of women with a secondary education increased steadily from 20% of those born in the late 1920s and early 1930s to 70-72% of those born between 1955 and 1969; the proportion with a postsecondary education rose from 7-9% to 21-24%. Similar increases occurred among men.
The best way to find a young beautiful bride is to find one from a small town or rurual area of Russia. In my opinion.
Wess, finding a good man is not only a matter of wish or not wish, it is a matter of luck. Well I have met such a thing that some girls want to get married with a man who has already developed as a personality and who has already achieved something in life, they have no wish to get married with a man of their age or 2-4 years older as this means that they will have to get through the hard times of earning money, of achieving something, of developing as a personality. We have a saying "to be with a general, a girl should get married with a lieutenant", so some girls have no wish to get married with a "lieutenant", but to get married with a "general" at once.
Well, there are alcoholics like everywhere. But to say that a lot of men abuse alcohol, I can't say this. Well men drink, but it's not that terrible. It's not abusing, but a beer or 2 after work, or going to the bar with friends 1-2 times a week...it's not much. It's not alcoholism, and from my experience I know many young men who either don't drink at all, who drink not much. And I know that this degree of drinking doesn't influence the life in any aspect. Can you call abusing alcohol if my boyfriend and I drink a bottle of wine or martini for 2??? I can't call this abusing alcohol...:)
Moving from one woman to another?? Well I think the situation as with drinking, there are such men. But to say that all men are like that, I can't say this!!! Men who are in love, and who are really loved (and not dated just for money or for position in work or anything else) they value their relations and they don't cheat.
All told above is true for Ukraine, I don't know how it is in Russia.
I just know that when my parents were visiting Rostov region every week, they were shocked to know how much people (men, women, elderly people, teenagers, even children) drink!!! When they returned after several times of visiting Rostov region (they stayed there for 3-4 days a week), my dad said: "There are no alcoholics in Ukraine if to compare with Rostov region". And almost all people there were using foul language, again men, women, elderly people, teenagers and even children...this is the experience my parents had...I don't know how it is in other regions of Russia.
Hello,
The answer to the question posted 4 pages behind is yes and no. I am married with a girl from Ukraine that I met through correspondence via the fiance.com site before it was re-named to fiance. We are happily married for more than a year now. When I first introduced myself to her, I wrote to her about family and children, etc. I never had children and never was crazy about having children, but did not fundamentally object to the idea either. My wife definitely wants children, she made it clear from the beginning and still passionately wants to have children at some point in our life. I want to say, it makes me happy and proud that my wife wants my children. What can really make a man happier? Unless you are fundamentally opposed to having children for any reason, I believe if you find the right person, you're going to want to have children. My wife now goes to college, so for another couple of years it's not going to happen, but after she gets a job, we'll definitely go for it at least once.
Let me give you a couple other examples from my experiences that might help further. In my online dating adventure, I also met another girl from the same country. This girl turned out to be a proven hooker or close to that. That girl did not want chidren. I am not saying by any means that there is a correlation betwen a woman's character and the woman's desire to have children. However, if a woman simply wants to go to another country and get a visa, chances are she's not going to want long term committments that might reduce her flexibility. Also, one of the Russian girls my wife became friends with here in the USA is married with an American. They met in Russia (not through correspondence, but that is not relevant). This girl is what you'd call wild party girl in every sense of the term. I won't go to significant detail, but she also wants a kid ... and she's decided to have it. She is going to her country and she's planning to have sex with a guy who looks like the husband and when she gets pregnant, she'll present it as an accident. This girl is in modeling, parties frequently, some drugs and stuff like that. So, two points here. First, most women want children as it is in women's nature to want children more than in men's nature, and second, when a woman really wants something, she will get it and you don't want her to get it somewhere else.
My advice to the gentleman is make sure you make it clear from the beginning that you don't want children and make sure that the girl who says she does not want chidlren she means this genuinely and she is not just agreeing with you to get you to marry her.
Cheers to everyone, I see some familiar names around, Thunder, Jet, Turboz, the rest are all new to me. Good luck.
Pitchka I have a hard time when refering to the FSU and the country of Russia, most of the research I have done is about Russia and not on the former soviet republics it still confuses me as when I think of Russia I think of region not seperate countries sorry I am not so knowledgeable. Perhaps I sould not share my research as it is not first hand experience.
Ptichka- I have been to both countries, there are some differences but not the ones wess refers to.
Wess- even a local disagrees with you but still you persist with reseached book and internet figures. Many many girls I have met, and a friend of mine has met in Russia are going to college and and look for a forien husban. When He or I have met them and all was well, they still ask us to wait untill the study is finished, maybe 2-3 years. I met a girl in Ukraine who had good english (just as friend) and had met the man of he dreams from belgum. He was always calling her wanting to arrange another trip and even for he to go there, but she only had time during he holidays from study and only when he coarse was finished would she go to belgum, and dose want to go. These are not figures wess, these are true life personal stories that you figure do not agree with so dose that make them more correct than your figures or are they not true because you did not see them on the internet?? Stop considering yourself a teacher here all the time wess and play it 50/50 as a student as well, maybe you too can learn. Why do you always disgards peoples true life stories in favor of you internet reseach??
Because you see a slice of life with your own eyes id does not make your perception accurate, in the end the truth is still the truth, over forty percent of Russian women are married by 21. If only one or two sources said this there might be some speculation that the statistical data is flawed but when all the sources say the same things then I have to follow that it is accurate. I give you the sources to check out the data and make your own decision, why don't you do some research yourself and then provide the demographics to support your opinion and perhaps I might be swayed to your side. Just because some women do not get married when they are attending school does not mean that many young women do get married and finish school. Just look here at the girls that are 18 and 19 years old that are seeking a husband and that should be a clue. many of these are in school too. We have schools here in the states and they can go here after they arrive many do. You just have a terrible habit of disregarding the truth with your generalizations Id. Maybe the ones you met said they wanted to wait till school was over in 2-3 years because of the type of candidate they had pursuing them. Who knows? The fact that the world was round all the while did not mean most people believed it to be flat. The fact that you want to argue the point that I am wrong and full of shit does not make it so. Ptichka said that it was a matter of luck again lack of quality marriage minded men. Some men have to go there to have sex because they can’t have sex in there countries with out having to pay for it. This is just my opinion I have no data to back this up but some will come back from a trip and brag about having sex for free. How do you feel about men taking advantage of young women that have hearts full of dreams to marry a western man and then get blindsided when she realized it was all about sex. You have been riding my ass since I disagreed with your post several weeks ago, for some reason because you have traveled to another country your perception is the truth, well my friend the world is round and Russian women marry at a very young age compared to most other countries. If you want to argue or debate me in the future Id send me an e-mail I am tired of this crap with you here on the forum, or better yet do what most do here, write around me.
You disagree with every one true storie wess, not just mine. I have seen more young girls pushing pramms in my country than yours. I have read some of the things you say, but I have also been. My opinion is has two resreach sources. I am not just talking about this topic, you reseach seems to make you think you know more than any person who has acually been and disagrees with you. That is arigant abnd stupid and I thought you were smartert than that but it appears you are doing you best to prove me wrong. And the girls who said they wanted to finish scholl first to me was in general conversation, nit because I asked them to go. You see a girls photo and states and think you know something about what she would do in a situation. I wait and ask her face to face. Also wess many girls initiate devorce in Russia as they do not want to comprimise anything. As I have said before, there are all types there, individual not just the stereo types you talk about. If you want me to stop riding you, understand peoples true stories as well as you reseach before you "shot from your hip" because that is what you are doing. It dose not matter how many times a person here tells you how it rely is, you always know better because you read it on the internet by someone with a degree.
Few things give me more pleasure than looking (without reading) at the size of your posts trying to rip each other a new butthole for apparently no reason whatsoever, lol....:)
It could be described as a morbid form of 'thinning of the heard' among those of us who seek the attention of a foreign woman.
