Where's DK?

[Trenchcoat]

Just wondering what's happened to the man? Has he left the building? Just seems to have suddenly disappeared, seemed so enthusiastic about the search for an RW. Anyone know what happened?

[ML]

Last I heard he was married to FSUW and living with her here in USA.  Don't remember any details.

I heard from a reliable source he chose not to participate at RWD any longer

He's English, lol. Don't think he was that close to scoring or even in FSU.

Yeah, sounds about right Faux Pas, shame he had some interesting insights though not always welcome by some members on here. Seemed very enthusiastic particularly at the start though I sensed some BS as he was only 25, though a good age to prepare for getting RW in late twenties/early thirties I think. Think his last talk was on approaching women and someone called him out for being weak in that department and probably cut too close to the bone. Then again I wondered also if he was getting disillusioned with the search, happens to some I guess.

[Boethius]

He wanted to devote his free time to learning Russian.  That's why he opted out.

Actually no, his thoughts and insight was very welcomed here as is anyone who has something to contribute. I would say he spoke out of turn more than once where passing off advice that he wasn't at all qualified to give. That does tend to rub some the wrong way. Also, he was particularly critical of of his older counterparts here at RWD for their advice. Nothing necessarily wrong with that or criticizing it when you yourself can counter with experience. Anybody can read posts and formulate answers

Hold on a moment here.

There was a young guy from USA who did marry a FSU gal whose handle was something like 'DK.'  Seems like living in Chicago area rings a bell with me.

As I recall his family had quite a bit of money, but he was not the New York guy who worked in his family business.

Or maybe it was the wife whose family had a lot of money.

So who was this other DK or something like that ?

[SANDRO43]

DK as in Dragonkid - he gave his location as London .

[Boethius]

Yes.  Darth is the young American who just married.  He has stated he is not wealthy.


DK is from London and is unmarried.

[Faux Pas]

IIRC there was another moniker DK that claimed to be from wealth and married a Russian. He was a regular up until sometime after his marriage that was maybe 6-7 years ago. He's made a few appearances since but not many. He came back to share they've had some babies IIRC

[ML]

Yes.  Darth is the young American who just married.  He has stated he is not wealthy.


DK is from London and is unmarried.

No, it is neither of those two who I am remembering. 
Those two are relative newcomers.

The one I recall was around probably 5 or more years ago.

I think Faux Pas is on the right track, but a search of DK didn't turn up a member.

[BillyB]

DKMM was a young American with money who married and posted often years ago.

5kg to lose before my st peters trip.....



got a few girls i will be meeting, several in st peters but the hot ones are from outside. Majority of them won't let me pay for their tickets, some are coming from as far as tomsk and rostov. aim of this trip is to just see how far i can go meeting women in everyday life, that means actually approaching woman, and talking to them, not using dating sites. Not eating pork chops waiting for an escort to give me a wink. I found out recently i can't live in russia with a student visa, as a 3 year visa won't let me leave the country and return, so i will probably be going through fsu countries (Ukraine,russia,belarus, eventually i like to go to armenia once fluent in russian) till i find someone i actually like, no rush  That trip will be sometime before july though, business visa and then tourist visa in ukraine, maybe see belarus. I didn't leave because i wanted to focus on the language, i am spending minimal time on learning russian, just been sort of busy trying to focus on other stuff to get the july trip ready, and improve my earning potential.

So, is that you DK? You chosen another profile name & country?

[fathertime]

Welcome back, and nice looking lady!


Fathertime!

Cover her belly up.

That is obscene.

You tell me, you seem to know dk better than he does

Looks like DK is happy but I only see one girl in the photo.

[DearGod]

Looks like DK is happy but I only see one girl in the photo.

It is my ex, Trench said i never got close to hooking up in fsu. The other pic is a portrait with the words yessentuki on the side i believe, third pic is my booking for my next trip for 1 month stay in st peters in january 2017. i am happy of course, who wouldn't be when fsuw are dying to meet you with you?  Once i spend a few years in fsu countries, that will just take things to a new level. i am just enjoying the process,especially when i will be in fsu long term, where pretty women will be at arm reach and for the picking.

Ah so it is you and you've nicked my plan! lol. Funny I'm thinking of going to St. Pete's the same sort of time, but nothing fixed yet. Probably more likely to be anywhere between February to March 2017 (early Feb at the very earliest) as that's the earliest I can make it out there when I can re-organise stuff to make it possible. I'm really itching already to get back out there too its paradise out there for women compared to here, yes I could quite possibly end up living out there  long term too, even if I remained single there are at least lots of hot women around to interact with. I need to put in a little more work here in the UK before that would become feasible for me though as I would need a UK investment source of income to live a decent lifestyle out there and have opportunities available to me.

At least a month is what I'm also looking at though early next year, possibly 6 weeks depending upon circumstances and just try to bed myself in to Russian life trying all sorts I think. If that fails then just repeat at the end of summer next year most likely as I need to be in the UK for the warmer weather. I'm not giving up unless of course in the unlikely event I get with a decent girl in this country which appears a real hard find. I'm thinking though my chances will be good this time round as the longer stay will pay dividends. I just need to find the right bird where there is chemistry in a country where there millions of them, so I'm hopeful

[DearGod]

best of luck, you could teach english and advertise on private listings, i have friends who would pay up to £20 an hour, you could go to a cheap city which has a dense population of students. Rostov would be amazing, plenty hot students.  The reason i want to get away from the dating sites scene is i don't like to spend time skyping, etc, a 30min conversation with each girl is too much for me. Rather go to the gym, do other stuff to improve myself financially, go to a bar and casually hook up with women. I want to explore russia rather than go to a city to meet one woman. Date women who haven't trained as if they were competing for the Olympics to go to the west. Genuine women, genuine relationships, full of passion, and long hot sex  I am in a similar situation to yourself, i am just getting things ready, what i learnt is that stuff happens, things don't go exactly to plan, but it eventually gets there, 2 days ago i got a phone call telling me that i was nearly there, but 2 more weeks for another step to happen, stuff happens but you eventually get there.  If you can earn an average western income in fsu countries, and live in cheap cities like rostov,ural, or what not, then you will look like a guy earning £10k a month in the west. I know properties in russia , in cities like stravapol , go for around £100k for 6 bedroom houses with big gardens, so you don't need millions, just the right residual income in the right location will make your money go far.

Summed up perfectly DK Yeah, I've found the same, I just don't have the time for the skype sessions at the moment and like you say they become a pain. Some can be quite nice, but if its difficult to tell if there is chemistry then to be honest I would rather be meeting girls out there where I can tell straight away and if not move on straight away. I don't want to do anymore go meet a girl you like on skype & go and see if there's chemistry. Too much off a bummer if there isn't then your with her potentially for X amount of days - ok first time around but again would get irritating.

Well, teaching English as a foreign language is definitely in the mix, its one of the things I've been working on. I would only do it part time on an informal course though so as to not be too heavy going for me. I'm not relying solely on that but am going to draw on several avenues in order to meet chicks as I know one or more seemingly good idea can fall flat. I know the quality ladies are out there I just need to do stuff to bring myself into contact with one where there is chemistry. Unrestricted with an imminent return should help to allow me to pursue along this path and give me a decent chance.

So by the time early next year will come around I will be just over a year in my search - with rest periods in the search of course like at the moment. I think the experience and strategy I've now got will put me in a better place on my next trip as I've now got a better understanding of the situation which at the beginning was somewhat clouded. Meeting real women like you say should be good, wish all goes well. 

[supraman]

So DK ,  i see you finally got your ex to agree to have her pictures on the forum this time  ?

[ML]

Most people are dreaming when they think they can teach English.

Speaking English all your life prepares you zero for teaching it.

Vast majority of us have no idea why we use certain words in certain situations rather than other words.

For students, these differences are very confusing and they will ask questions.  We will have no answers.

You're wrong. I've been speaking bad English all my life. I know I can adequately teach bad English.

If DK = dragon kid

He decided that his expert advice was being underutilized here and currently
is waiting to be appointed as an adviser for both the Brexit committee and for
the Israel/Palestinian peace plan think tank. With both positions on the horizon
he wouldn't have time for us.

Trench is a native brit, i am guessing he looks english, like you have said, Russians are stupid (Not my belief). He will be reconized as a qualified person to teach. I have faith he could make a bit of money, nothing great but decent money in the eyes fsu.

Teaching English in Russia don't pay dick. I've met two of those already and if they didn't have other income they wouldn't make it. Trench, have a back up.

You're right Faux Pas, teaching English is not money I am willing to rely on. Hence I will be going out there with the funds to support myself decently for a month or so. If I get money from it to help subsidise the food or rent, etc so be it. Its more the contact with local Russian girls that I'm in it for. Not saying that will work but it is one more avenue I will be using when over there.

I'm just looking really for an informal adult learner class to teach (hopefully no too old ) on a part time basis so too avoid it too heavy going, well hopefully. I'm going to go over there with a bit of backup material prepared to teach in case course books are no joy. I'm part way through a basic teaching foreign language course at the moment to apprise myself of the basics so I'm not all at sea. More full on teacher training courses shouldn't be needed as like I say its just casually I want to teach and apparently Putin's foreign stance puts a lot of English teachers from going to Russia these days.

If decent money is in the offing like DK thinks I'll take it but doesn't matter if not and DK you're right I am a native Brit and look English So, the best qualification there is to teach English to foreigners apparently, lol.

Sounds interesting, wish you the best of luck. It will be tough, from what some women told me, english teachers in ukraine outside capital are considered well off. People here think otherwise, and i would sway with them also, i heard of guys getting poked fun out of for the minimal amount of money they make. But there is a wide range of people claiming different thing.  It wouldn't be something that you should rely on as a future career, living abroad is one of those 50/50 things that you need to consider carefully.

How will you afford raising a family?
what is your retirement plan?
Will you pay for your kids to go study back in the UK?
Will you reside in russia for the rest of your life?
if so, what about health care costs?
If you do meet a woman, and decide to go back to the UK. Will you be able to pay for her? or will you tank it out in russia solely depending on your salary from teaching?

Questions you should keep in mind, maybe i am being biased, but it is not something you should do unless you got other sources of income. up to you however, if you got a job in the UK which you can walk back into, maybe it will be a good life experience.

Yeah, its just a sideline, not my main profession, hence why I am not doing the full on month or so training course in teaching English. I'm not intending to live out there at the moment, long term who knows, but that is only likely once I have built up an investment portfolio here to support myself over there job or no job. I'm figuring if I can build up enough investment here to supply me a decent amount of cash here then that will be enough to be decent to myself and any potential lady whether living her permanently or out there. Personally though in the short to medium term its here in the UK where I would want/need her to come. I would of course be prepared to foot the costs for that. For me out in Russia would likely be a very long term thing, but you never know I guess. My Russian would need dome improvement for a teacher of English would likely be the only feasible way. For now though the teaching English language is just a short term thing so I can be in contact with women outside the dating industry but interested in English.

My job at the moment is not the profession I am really getting involved in, I currently do it full time but come late January/early February will be looking to go part time for a couple of days a week. This will allow me to take these days off more easily. So if I take 4 days of I can have a whole month, 6 days of then six weeks Its the type of job that is convenient for bringing in some easy stable money but not where I want to be long term, nor something that would be a hugh wrench losing unless timing was not great.

Health care costs? if I was living out there? I would just come back here & stick it on the NHS, lol

For you (trench), and any lurkers wondering on the visa situation in ukraine

http://www.bbcu.com.ua/#page-services
email 1
There is no visa allowing you to stay longer then 90 days in a 180 day period. You would need to apply for temporary residency which can be obtained in three ways.

1. Open a company which would then employ you and obtaining a work permit. The work permit then allows you to apply for temporary residency which is renewable every year.

2. Invest $100.00.00 in Ukraine

3. Marry a Ukraine national.

With regards to costs etc please see the e.brochure on our website http://www.bbcu.com.ua

Please contact me if you have any additional queries or questions.

Kindest regards.

email 2
It is straightforward.

Open a company, Apply for and receive your work permit then apply for and receive the temporary residency. Before applying for the temporary residency you would have to go to a Ukrainian embassy or consulate to get a D Visa.

Regards.

email 3
You can transfer funds into the business. The whole process takes between 8 to 10 weeks but you would need to be here in person for some of the processes.

Regards.

2. Invest $100.00.00 in Ukraine

A very interesting amount.

[DearGod]

A very interesting amount.

I noticed it as well, i would if thought they would of used a nice copy and paste messages, but they obviously haven't had to endure the use of dating sites, seeing that they live in ukraine.

i know you are knowledgeable on the subject, what do you know about option number 1? setting up a ltd company, and employing yourself. Is it fairly easy? Rent an office, employ a few people, do they give out temporary visa's easily?
