craigsutton, that's a pretty ambiguous question. Regarding women from the FSU I would say yes. Because when you read about guys getting ripped off it's the same old story. They thought money would cover their personal inadequacies. Two simple rules and your journey to the FSU will be good. If not successful there are other reasons for that. I followed a little bit of what everyone gave me, but adhered to those two tenets. The real women won't care, the ones hunting for a good time will get pissed.
In daily life, I would say in the most part yes. Sometimes fate deals you a blow that you have no control over, but staying disciplined in life lets you overcome these setbacks.
I asked that question for these reasons.
And that is,
From your travels to FSU and reading the stories from others on here, what do you see as the age difference that most guys make with?
In other words, what is the age of women compared to the guys age.
Are most guys off with the fairy's when they go over there?
Can you tell me what happened to you that you paid a big ugly price for?
Shes here now,she pulled the house apart cleaning and cooked a nice ukranian meal for me. She said things went too fast last time and we should take it slower this time, her friends told her she was crazy to come back here after b4 I was scared shitless when she was coming over and she said she was the same. She moved out of her town after we broke up and got a job looking after a house for a 58 yr old guy he soon made a move on her and she left. And said to him she wasnt that type of girl. No shopping done except for a 6 euro bag she got and cleaning goods. I asked did she want to go for a coffee or something to eat and she said no she would cook.On that Russian facebook some Ukranian guy contacted her and she said we should go meet him so she can speak Ukranian,
Good luck Colin. Sounds like things are improving. It does help to draw a line in the sand and not be pushed around. Shes clearly trying but don't be surprised if she explodes all of a sudden over something small.
I don't think it is a hopeless case. Whenever one moves to a strange land, people get homesick. Homesickness got the best of her. There are other factors involved, like in any of the letters neither she nor her mother did not say anything about love, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. They may have a problem expressing it.
To get over the homesickness, meeting with other Ukrainians, as you are doing is good. Russian or Ukrainian TV is another and of course, telephoning the homeland.
she ended up in hospital after 1st week, she fell walking dog and had 2 have a operation. So was in a hospital for another week and no one understood her 100 percent there.
Colin,
Do not continue to justify your actions. You asked a while back and received feedback. That you still continue to share bits and pieces is a sign that you are still not 100% positive. You do not need to convince anyone but yourself that what you are doing is in your best (?) interest. The fact that you continue to dabble in the sharing of information reads to me that you still have doubts. Why do you feel the need to convince anyone? Yes, all are concerned. And though there have been differing opinions it is only you who must make the decision -- you already have. Please, go through the process and discover whatever reality may arise. I sincerely wish you luck. Go for it. Do not feel the need to continue to share information to convince yourself. Just be honorable in the end and let us know the end result. That is all. And frankly, it is nobody's business but yours.
Don't you have friends near you who would be better sutied to advise you in this matter? It seems to me this is more a matter of relationship advise than FSU woman verses the rest of the world advice.
I apologize to all for I said I was done with this thread. But I felt the need to inject my thouhts.
I disagree with Julian. Sometimes thought processes are incomplete and need to be verbalized, written and hearing pros and cons of it. In the end, yes the decision is made and one reaps the benefits or consequences. We are his friends and we are listening and giving advice. As was shown, no matter what the advice was, he still made the decision.
I hope to go through this in the near future. I want to know what problems my arise.
Okay. Fair statement RB after having thought about it. Sure, I can empathize in that people in my neighborhood (read that as friends, relatives etc,) cannot comprehend that I am seeking/planning to be with a woman from Russia. So it is reasonable thinking that perhaps this forum may be the only means of having a conversation with understanding individuals on the subject. I admit my misdirected comments on the subject. You are right.
nah I dont tell my family or friends I am very close to all and they are very protective of me, just one friend agrees with what I do.My mother father sisters brother are furious with her and yes I do make excuses for her but I am crazy about her its not a feeling I have had b4 or like. And yes I do have great doubts but I will try my best. I only deceided to write here because maybe someone is in same situation as I am or could be and it would be of help to them.
she cooked my lunch 2day and made some food for work for me she smiles all time and is very happy, she dosnt talk about it but just said last few months have been hard
Be careful of smiling faces. Things are not always great. While some things are best left alone, other things will have to be dealt with or they will bite you.
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (jealousy)
Misery (misery)
Envy
I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes)
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya
