"Why don't you just date an American woman?"

[Ade]

Now, certain members can't post in the same threads as Riv otherwise they will be called stalkers?

Some of these people see what they want to see regardless of reality.

Stalkers and reality are mutually exclusive.

Tut, tut, tut.

Congratulations! 
 
Presuming you met your wife on the Internet, what compelled you to go to those webpages when it would be far easier to meet someone from your hometown.  You had to obtain a Russian tourist visa, you had to buy an expensive air ticket, you had to rent an apartment, you had to use your vacation time, etc.  That is a $3,000 blind date vs. $50 with a local woman.

Thank you,

It is just something I thought about, went to this website and saw the do's and don'ts.  Read about which websites are better than others.  Gave freepersonals.ru a shot, met her in 2-3 days, started video skype a couple days after that and we hit it off big time.

I tried finding a woman around where I live and in areas around, dated a few, was engaged about 8 years ago, but she decided she didn't want to be married and left.  Looked around, met many women, tried online dating, but really only ended up making a few friends and a few dates, yet nothing went anywhere really and started to wonder if I could find someone. 

Than gave the international online dating and found her right away.  We have a great connection and are comfortable and open with each other.  Things worked out well for us.  I hope others find the same luck we had in finding each other.

Good for you! Best of luck...

I am from Siberia. The reason there are many Hondas, Hyundais and Totyotas there is they are imported from Japan. Cheaper then cars imported from Europe.
Again I am from Siberia and find there are exactly as many status conscious people as there are in Saint Petersburg where I lived for 13 years.
Mark Zuckenberg is so rich it does not matter what he drives. Is that your only example of someone who choose a cheaper car over expensive one?

I'm not surprised that he would be like that.  I think that Bill Gates was like that too.  It seems that many of these nerdy guys who start their own IT businesses seem not to buy into flashy things.  Many times, they're doing what they do NOT for the money but just to be able to do it.

I think that it depends on the person, and what they value to be important.  For someone like Mark Zuckerberg, the value of his work is probably more important than how much money that he makes or whether or not he has nice stuff.

I don't date an American woman, because Ukrainian women are much nearer

I have never heard this question from a RW but I have heard it from many AW.
My answer is always "I did, in fact I even married one."

Exactly what happened to me.  We got married, she had a couple of miscarriages, and felt guilty about it I guess as she knew I wanted a family.
But I guess the biggest thing was I wasn't a perfect husband and after we were married K. lost 9 kilos and found another man and left.

Bill Gates got married and built himself a $50,000,000 house. 
Then he does publicity campaigns about there are too many people in the world straining the ecology of the earth.  How do you spell hypocrit in Russian?

So if I copy and past either word all people in FSU will understand?
Thanks. (Prazem?)
