Norway,
Perhaps you have a genuine lady but run all her details, name, phone number, address, email address etc. thru a Google search, if you haven't done so already, before promoting a free personals site.
I am from Kiev originally and now a US citizen, I was looking for references on Holmes & Lolly Law Firm and came across this forum. I must say that each country has it's "good or bad" people, it is very narrow-minded to make a statement about Russian or Ukrainian woman the way some of you have written. If you can not tell fake from authentic, then shame on you! If you are looking to get a legalized slave (sexual or domestic) and she is using you-you deserved it because it was not your heart that was thinking, loss of blood flow perhaps! If you truly fell in love and got hurt, I am sorry, but as cliché goes: Better to have loved and lost, then never loved at all! I am planning to marry a person from my country, why? Probably because I can not find the same understanding among American man. Most people here are so paranoid that love and real feelings take a back seat, some of you have demonstrated just that. NO ONE would like to live each day defending their feelings. God Bless!
If you MUST know… Not at all, my parents made a choice to move, since I was only 15 at the time no one even asked me if I wanted to come or not. Don't misunderstand, I'm grateful for everything, sorry for disappointment but there was no evil plan, no conspiracy, just the way life is. Here I am :-) Once more, I can't help but feel the tone of suspicion even in your short entry with multiple "?"...Previously I think you also mentioned that when you travel for business to my homeland you see a lot of females looking for opportunities… Let me ask: You think there is something wrong with that? USA Fems are ALL about opportunities and GOOD, I'm beginning to think that you are just chauvinistic….
LadyL.... BRAVO!! i think this proves my point that you reap what you sow. If you are suspisious and wary of your wife, she will pick up on this and return the feelings. Women have very good intuition and will know your true feelings. Feelings of distrust are not a good way to start a long term loving relationship. If you marry, trust and love your wife with all your heart. I did this and even though we did divorce, she did not take me to the cleaners financially and we are still quite friendly. Those who open their heart to a woman will recieve rewards far beyond the rewards of finacial wealth. I have no regrets of my MOB marrige and if i am lucky enough to do this again and have the same results then a few years of marital bliss would be worth 100% of everything i own. This forums nays-sayers plant the poison seed that will hurt almost every relationship of those foolish enough to take this to heart. When you find your special someone, love her, trust her, and give yourself completly to her with all your heart and soul and she will do the same.
I think Vanechka's post should be removed for his insolate statement of a person he does not know. This is what has drawn my ire in this forum on many occasions, the posting by some that absolutely have no clue of what one's circumstances are or what their country is like.
Sitting at dinner last night with Larisa, she commented after a month being here that the United States is nothing like it is portrayed in Europe. She is amazed that we greet each other on the street and ask how our day is.Even total strangers. She had asked me on many occasions if I knew that person and I said no. The only thing she really doesn't like are the restaurants in my town, which do suck and that the American barbarian eats with their hands.
She watches in amazement how we openly show our money without the worry of being mugged or having it stolen. She is amazed how clean our cities are compared to Ukraine. She likes the fact that americans are friendly to her and helpful even though her english skills are not absolutely perfect. Yes she came here for love, but she also came for opportunity, the opportunity to be free and be all that she can be as a woman. Not to live in a male style caste system. The first month together in the states has been very interesting. She has spent time in Chicago, Louisville and Indianapolis. She is still waiting to see the random act of violence that is portrayed constantly in Europe of american life. Though she deeply loves her country, she has written back to her friends that America is nothing like it is portrayed back in Europe and Ukraine. She has commented to me how overly friendly the typical american is and how helpful we are to each other.
So far so good, I've had 30 days of success. Each day is an opportunity for such a success. Larisa came here with much uncertainty, but most of her fears have been quelled. Now her only worry is remembering how to get from the stores to home, but then, as in Ukraine she has a cell phone and she can call me anytime and ask for directions. Yes the divided highways and the right turn on red creates some confusion for her, but in all we haven't had any real difficult experience.
Great post Mike, glad to hear all is well with you two. Lena has a pen pal from Russia that has just recently been married in Colorado. She told Lena not to pay atttention to the stories of constant gun battles in the streets and that she has found most Americans to be very friendly. She did remark that while in a casino with her new husband, she was surpised to see women there in the evening in jeans and tennis shoes. Her friend does not understand why American women do not care about their appearance. Lena will not believe me when I tell her that now some of the younger women here wear pajamas out in public. She insists that I am just jesting.
Nasfan, if I read your posts in "russianwomendiscussion", or was this some other Larisa?, see didnt seem such person as you described her in your posts before, see seemed moody and not motivated! Se seem me hard person, but as you call it success, let it be!
Annika I've never posted in Russian women discussion, Maybe some moron clown is using my name. I've posted on two sites here another, but not on Russian women. Maybe it was some of your clown friends that used the Telenova garbage from the past.
But in that site somebody write about Larisa visiting him? She comes from Ukraine, she seemed diffierent really of that person you described? She was moody and her english was so crap this couple called to translator??? Its awful when people dont use real identities. I was thinking that poor guy really made mistake and will have hard times! But these russian names are all the same! Sorry if I was wrong!
Nasfan,
I was writing in your favour then, one thing about you is that you have your 'trademark' sign off and if the other Nasfan never signed off as 'Mike' then it's quite reasonable to assume that's it isn't the same Nasfan.

Sorry you're wrong was directed at Annika. This is what cracks me up about Annika, nothing positive in her life, lurks in the shadows and writes ridiculous posts. Tells people here how poorly they are paid in their jobs when she doesn't know jack about anyone here especially Larisa. All I can say is I don't wait six weeks for my Brit Boyfriend to show up, I wake up each day next to my love. Also for your information Annika, she is the one of the most positive people I have ever met in my life. Considering the background and lifestyle she has lived it is far more better than the attitude you bring to this forum. This is the second time you have brought this garbage up in the forum and I addressed it before, but I see memory retention is not an asset of yours.
Some people just have a duller and more boring outlook on life.
Why be positive when one can look at everything in the negative, why say approving things when one can resort to negative things, see the nagative and rarely the positive in anything?
Our life on this planet is a very short one, why not make the most of it, try to be happy, look at everything in the positive and even if one does make a mistake, they haven't got to live with it forever, only for the next 20 or 30 or 40 years or so, not very long on the grand scale of things, smile Annika!
Since the US isw billed as,"the land of opportunity", I'm sure that it still attracts aooportunistic people. Two thoughts, 1) Agency offered, "Prenuptual agreement" forms. 2) A "green list". This would be for individuals, both male and female, who want a temporary pragmatic relationship. Would keep them from cluttering up the field of serious marriage seekers.
My husband succeed with me! He is a Lucky one!))) Joking!)
Now seriously. I now Russian guys which lived in US for a long long time and they tried their luck with Russian ladies over the internet like you do, the difference was they can speak Russian. 6 tried 4 failed. 3 didnÕt marry their Russian lady friends one is going through hell divorce right now. So it is difficult not just for you. And you have to invest at least couple of years just for a search.
On a good side I know lots of happy marriages RW+AM. They are real.
SO do not give up, keep looking.
