Maxx, we seem to be going off tangent, but bugger -in context with little, bugger  is not too 'naughty' ... I have said ''Bugger off'' or ''that child is a little bugger'' and not been ostracised' ;)

However, a wish to you the word as a verb - the act - make elicit a somewhat different response ..

A Brit who smokes can say, "I'm dying for a fag" and just mean they want to smoke...


Yes, we are. Just so you know I know the finer points of British slang. But in an uptight religious community like Boyden and nearby Hull anything associated with acts of sodomy would not go over so good. The businesses there close on Sunday sabbath day and the ones who don't are boycotted by many of the citizens there. No big deal.

A young London woman gave me a bad look when I told her she had a cute fanny.

STILL using Pom out of context ..?!

 TC isn't a Pom - as he isn't in the Antipodes or Southern Africa ...  If my correcting you irritates - it's OK ...You can tell me to 'sod off'  :)

You can call a guy a cock s#cker as an insult yet the guy might not have
actually smoked any poles. The recipient of the name pointing out that he
had not actually been a sword swallower generally doesn't reduce or rescind
the insult.

Pom is from pomegranate red sunburns that the natives of blighty tend to
get when exposed to the sun. Just because the Aussies thought it up means
that others can't use it? That hardly sounds reasonable.   

FSUW are not for entry level daters
FSUW don't do vague
FSUW like a man of action. Be a man of action

I've first read about Poms in books by James Michener (South Pacific) and Wilbur Smith
(adventure stories about Africa). You can call us Yanks if you wish but in the US we only
call North Easterners that, a Southerner would belly laugh at the prospect. 

In the USA people are allowed to call themselves Irish only on St Paddy's day and if
they're alumni of the University of Notre Dame who's moniker is the "Fighting Irish"
and there is an American football game on. As I am an alumni of the Oregon State
Beavers I can call myself a beaver without offending any of the nocturnal,

Considering he's Irish, that would seem to be a very good idea.  He will then make sure that he never calls you a Canuck.  :devil:

Until you just mentioned it, I never associated the word jerk with jerk off.


There's a car wash in the little town of Boyden in NorthWest Iowa in a really, really religious community called, "Lil' Bugger." I used to drive by it every once in a while and wonder if the owners understood what a bugger meant in British slang?


http://www.facebook.com/Lilbuggercarwash/





Maybe the name of the town inspired it?  Boy - den?


Strange subject we are on today!

I remember when I was much much younger, I said "bugger" in the presence of my mom.  That's the only the time I ever got smacked in the face by my mother.  I learned it isn't a good word then and there for the rest of my life and never say it.  ;) Effective old-fashioned parenting methods....

Boe's view that if you cannot have success with local women, you will probably have difficulty in FSU is correct. Finding local dates was not my problem. Finding a quality woman was. And by quality I don't mean 20 years younger and a model, I mean a woman that is intelligent, graceful and fun.


I disagree with this.  I'll just take Tinder as one example - for those of you who don't know, this is an app where you simply look at a brief profile and decide yes or no.  In Canada, 80% were fat, tattooed, completely unattractive at first sight.  So, I voted no.  I never matched or heard from the girls when I'd voted yes.

Using the same app in Moscow, it is a day and night comparison.  This ACTUALLY seems like how dating was always supposed to be.  If you want to meet an attractive and smart woman in the West, the competition is fierce, because supply is so low.  Here it is easy to meet an attractive and smart woman.

There is no correlation between Western dating and FSU dating.  I'm smart and good-looking enough.  It is simply not true, or at least not a universal truth, that finding Western dates is easy as pie for a decent guy.  But here, in Moscow, it is.

I'm willing to bet there's a lot of decent guys who just don't get any opportunity to practice dating in the West, not if they have any standards or taste.

Aha .. you got my point, now ..!

 Love early Wilbur Smith books ...

Beel, I've been to America a few times and LOTS of Americans told me they were 'Irish' in February or September ;)

Very few on here know my status with my girl. TreadMillDude accused me of coming home brokenhearted after all my trips because I was not listed as "committed" or "married" in my profile status.

Along with DK -- another candidate for the most delusional of 2016 !

As to the second point-- getting along with women generally is the point.Having friends as well as relationships indicates a more allround person.It can only help in the FSU.

The 3rd point - she can be intelligent,graceful,fun,beautiful ,a model, and 20+years younger!! The point I would make on this-- there are a LOT more that fit that description in the FSU !!

About TMD... My guess is, he went to Belarus and flamed out (if he actually went).

I will admit not reading any of the content in this thread. The title just struck me. Theories of dating? Isn't dating just something you went out and did, instead of theorizing it?

Likely true for some, but not for the many Bounder.

I'll concede, based on your present locale, you are likely laying witness if not experiencing the ease you speak of (good for you btw!). But the same can be said in many choice spots in the west (concentration of attractive available women i.e. south bay beaches in SoCal, Westside, Hollywood, etc..). Moreover, a WM is not as much as a *novelty* in the west as they would be in FSU. So maybe for a lot of men this will appear as being 'easier'. The converse is true for FSUW in the west. An added spice to the mix.

One thing to consider regarding online dating in the west is, attractive WW have choices most anywhere they are, and the likelihood of them relying on social medium or dating service sites are not as prevalent as they would be elsewhere. So this medium is difficult to make an equitable comparison.

Back in the day when I was involved in the black subject of GCGs I met quite a few WW who married way out of their league looks wise and age wise. Married to foreign men they met on vacation that were "hunks" while they the WW were older and much older and unattractive to boot. You can guess the outcome.

Hooray for Bounder  :clapping:  :D This is the point I have been trying to make on here a while now and all I have been facing is the - 'its you not them'. Bounder with experience in the field and actually living out there has confirmed what I have seen :) Women are miles better and in more supply out in the FSU. I also agree with GQ Blues in that WW have choices where ever they look (well the nice ones do). Again as I have previously said a decent attractive looking girl here with at least a half way reasonable personality/attitude will have no trouble getting a date/relationship. In fact the best will have several 'options' of blokes to choose from. This has been my problem my whole life, being in the running for one of these hotties but always coming of second best or worse. Sure she was interested but I just wasn't first with her. In the FSU the same as Bounder has found doesn't hold true. There are a lot more hotties around and they are not able to line men up as they are in not as much supply. Added to that I am wealthy compared to them and FSU men so I clock up points there I don't necessarily get in the UK despite being comfortably off but not rich. Hence this can help put me in pole position with the girl, happy days :D

p.s I get the distinct impression TMD had a case of failure to launch, he had to date of his last post never visited the FSU. Either that or he was held up with some improper material, lol.
