questions to ask when meeting UR/W

When I was searching for my wife, this was one of the most telling questions that I would ask women.  I would try to talk in detail about why they felt they would be successful at doing this (relocating to a new country).  Along with needing to win my heart, I wanted a woman who was self confident and had some sense of adventure.  I am very fortunate to have found this woman, and convince her to marry me.

Never underestimate how difficult it is for them to leave their country for an uncertain future (a new marriage certainly qualifies, even when remaining in the same town!).  Also, avoid women who are looking to escape their life in Russia.  It's a sign of problems a person can never escape from by moving.



[/font][/font]this partial post by ConnerVT gave me this idea..  maybe we can start a thread about questions to ask and things to look for during a first meeting/date with a U/RW....  ?

[line]


questions during first meeting of date... not a lot of... only ask after a second meeting, second date, of marriage...

Since trip to FSU are not free, and i have not a lot of free time, it is better to ask all your questions before the trip... and date/meet her when his reply is positive.

Blind date is not one of my choice... i ask a lot before meet/date... the meeting of date are only for confirm/test the alchimy....

Admittedly, I don't have the MOB experience to back this up, but I always thought Witchdoctor's "converse in reverse" made a lot of sense.

Here is my all time favorit.

Cut to the point on the first meeting, and you need to take yoursleff out of this question.

At the end of the first date, but only if you know you want to meet her for the second date!

? If you meet the right man, and you knew he was the right man ( I'AM NOT SAYING I AM THAT MAN ) but if you did are you redy to leave, and start a new family ?

Then look in her eye,s if her anser is anything , but yes you need to find out why.

Make shere she dose not put you on hold for 2 years!!

For me she should at least lie to me and say yes or I am on to the next girl. I would say that 98% of all these girls that take 1 year or more will Fail !!!!

Questions - there has to be a bunch in both the guy and the girl's mind when you first meet.

1.  If you wrote a bunch of girls you should have had many questions answered by the time you meet each girl.  Just remember to take your emails / review your responses and have them with you so you know the details of each girl, otherwise you will mess up a potentially good relationship by thinking she has two brothers when she has one sister etc.

2.  If you just meet a person naturually or come to an agency and meet girls in the WNMM modus operandi (my best luck was with the WNMM (Write none, meet many) to narrow it down from there) think of your meeting like any girl you meet here in the USA / West.  Do not put pressure on yourself and let things flow naturally.  If the girl likes you she will do alot of the talking and want to get to know you as much as you want to get to know her.

3.  There are lists of potential questions one "should" have answers to prior to marriage out there in cyberspace.  My need to know list is different than another guys but everyone should have some need to know list of questions in their mind.  Many lists are already published out there in cyberspace, though I can just not get my hands on a list at this moment. 

4.  It makes sense to just let the relationship flow and not make your interaction with a new girl an interrogation session.  Its good to know what a person likes to do in their spare time / for fun so you can have a good time together initially.  Relax and enjoy your new friend.

Here are a bunch of questions I copied off the net for you guys who are at a loss for questions to choose from:
DisclaimerNeither I nor my wife has a degree in psychology, counseling, or social work.  If you have serious issues in your marriage or relationship, we recommend you seek professional guidance.  This compatibility test is offered for entertainment purposes only.
[align=center]Copyright Notice This questionnaire is copyright (c) Karl and Wendy Dahlke, 1998.  It may be freely copied and distributed, with the above disclaimer, for any personal, non-profit purposes.
What Is Marriage
[list=1]
  • Could you be happy/fulfilled without marriage? [/*]
    [/align]
  • Why do you want to get married?  What are you hoping to gain?  What can you offer your partner in return? [/*]


  • What marriages have you experienced personally?  Did they result in happiness?  What was good or bad about these marriages? [/*]


  • Should a marriage be monogamous?  Why?  If not, replace the word partner with partners throughout this questionnaire. [/*]


  • Can two gay people share a lifelong loving relationship?  Should U.S. laws sanction their marriage, with the same privileges (e.g. joint healthcare and tax-free inheritance) and responsibilities (e.g. alimony) as any other couple? [/*]


  • Do you believe the commitment takes place when you get engaged, or when you say "I do"? [/*]


  • How important is the legal/religious institution of marriage, as opposed to a simple commitment between you and your partner? [/*]


  • Do you believe it is helpful to live together first, before making a commitment?  (Statistically, living together will neither hurt nor help your chances of success.) [/*]


  • How do you feel about pre-nuptial agreements? [/*]
    [align=center]Love and Support Through the Years
    [list=1]
  • What causes people to fall in love? [/*]
    [/align]
  • How important is love to a good marriage?  Can two people, who are no longer in love, have a good marriage?  Can two people, who are very much in love, have a bad marriage? [/*]


  • Do you expect to be in love for life?  How might your love evolve as the marriage proceeds?  (Surveys show most older couples feel like siblings, rather than sweethearts.) [/*]


  • What will you do, years from now, when the touch of your partner's hand does not bring euphoria? [/*]


  • How important is affection?  How do you feel about public displays of affection? [/*]


  • Can you give and receive affection even when you don't particularly feel "in love"? [/*]


  • Does a marriage require ongoing maintenance?  What kind of things should you monitor? [/*]


  • Is a marriage "hard work"?  If so, why do you want to fill your life with hard work? [/*]


  • Can you put your partners needs ahead of your own?  How will you know what your partner's needs are? [/*]


  • Are you (generally) polite and courteous to others?  Are these attributes important to a smooth-running marriage and family? [/*]


  • How will you react when your partner does something small (or big) that you don't like?  How would you want to be approached if the tables were turned? [/*]


  • What do you do when you are frustrated or angry?  How do you resolve conflicts with others? [/*]


  • How do you react when you are sad or discouraged?  Do you seek love and support, or would you rather be alone? [/*]


  • What priority will your marriage receive throughout life?  What things are more important than your marriage? [/*]
    [align=center]Sickness and Death
    [list=1]
  • If you outlive your partner, how will you handle his/her death?  Will you look for a new partner, a companion to live with, or new friends to fill your time? [/*]
    [/align]
  • Would you be secure financially?  Would you have the resources to raise the children you have, or expect to have? [/*]


  • Do you have the emotional maturity and strength of will to raise any children you have or expect to have, as a single parent?  Whom could you call on for help? Extended family? Close friends? [/*]


  • What are your wishes regarding funerals, burials, cremation, etc.  What are your partner's wishes? [/*]


  • Are you and your partner organ donors? [/*]


  • When is medical intervention counterproductive?  Which disabilities or injuries are worse than death? [/*]


  • Do you trust each other to make life&death decisions on your behalf?  Will you codify this via living wills? [/*]


  • How would you react if your partner were seriously injured (e.g. blind, wheelchair bound, etc)?  How would the marriage change?  If your hobbies are primarily physical in nature, what new activities might take their place? [/*]


  • Could you care for the physical needs of your partner, such as dressing, bathing, medications, etc? [/*]


  • What is your attitude towards doctors and modern medicine?  Do you trust your doctors?  Are there certain procedures you do not believe in, on moral or religious grounds? [/*]


  • How do you feel about holistic/alternative medicine?  Does a positive or negative attitude play a role in health and sickness? [/*]
    [align=center]Dividing the Work
    [list=1]
  • Who will perform the for-salary work?  (I'll assume you aren't independently wealthy.) [/*]
    [/align]
  • How does your career rank, in priority, relative to your marriage and family? [/*]


  • If either of you is content being a homemaker, skip this question, and the next 2.  If the situation demands that somebody stay home (e.g. to care for a sick child or relative), who will stay home and who will work? [/*]


  • If your golden career opportunity pulls you towards one end of the country, and your partner's dream job is located elsewhere, how will you reach a compromise? [/*]


  • Who has more flexibility in finding satisfactory work wherever you might be located? [/*]


  • If you do not work, what other activities, hobbies, or volunteer work will you be involved in?  (Being a fulltime homemaker rarely sates an individual's full complement of emotional, intellectual, and social needs.) [/*]
    [align=center]Sex
    [list=1]
  • Do you insist on a monogamous relationship?  What are your attitudes towards infidelity?  What if you found that your partner had one affair?  Numerous affairs? [/*]
    [/align]
  • Are you certain that you and your partner do not have any sexually transmitted diseases? [/*]


  • Although you have (or will have) a permanent sex partner, do you still enjoy watching erotic images of others on tape or on the printed page? [/*]


  • How important is good sex to a good marriage?  How important is a good marriage to good sex? [/*]


  • How would you handle a sexless marriage, if illness or injury prohibited intercourse?  Are there other ways you could physically demonstrate your love to each other? [/*]


  • How often would you like to have sexual relations? [/*]


  • Ideally, how much time would you like to spend together before and after the act?  What things do you like to do to prepare for, and come down from sex? [/*]


  • Are you prepared to make drastic cuts in the frequency and spontaneity of your sex life to accommodate children? [/*]


  • Your sex drives will almost certainly wane as the marriage progresses.  If one person loses desire before the other, how will the active partner's needs be met? [/*]


  • Do you enjoy alternate forms of sex, such as oral? [/*]


  • What aids (e.g. lotions, video tapes) do you enjoy? [/*]


  • What activities do you find erotic? [/*]
    [align=center]Finances
    [list=1]
  • Do you plan to keep individual funds in separate accounts?  This question does not refer to legally mandated separations, such as your IRAs.  We ask whether you believe some of your income(s) should be channeled into individual accounts, where its disposition is under the individual's control.  If so, how much goes into each account?  As your income and expenses change, how will you reapportion these distributions?  Can YOU really spend YOUR money any way you want, no matter what your partner thinks?  If not, maintaining separate accounts is probably a wasted exercise in paperwork.  Subsequent questions refer to the money that is shared between you. [/*]
    [/align]
  • What if you disagree over a large purchase or investment?  Who has the final say in money matters? [/*]


  • Who writes the checks and balances the books?  Who fills out the 10-40 every spring? [/*]


  • How much can either of you spend on a "once in a lifetime" sale or investment opportunity without consulting the other?  It is best to establish a specific cap from the start. [/*]


  • What items or services, commonly bought by Americans, seem like frivolity to you? [/*]


  • If your income were drastically reduced, what luxuries would you give up? [/*]


  • How important are material possessions to you?  What would happen if you lost everything in a fire? [/*]


  • How much of your income would you like to save? [/*]


  • Do you like playing the market, or do you pay somebody else to do it for you (e.g. buy into an established fund). [/*]


  • Would you be willing to risk some of your savings on a specific, personal venture, such as starting a new business?  How much of your savings would you invest in this way? [/*]


  • How much of your income would you like to give to charity?  Which charities? [/*]


  • Under what circumstances will you loan or give money to friends or relatives?  Can you accept the risk that these loans might not be repaid? [/*]
    [align=center]Your Nest
    [list=1]
  • Do you like to live in a rural setting, a city, or a suburb? [/*]
    [/align]
  • Where in the country (or world) would you like to live?  Are you constrained to certain climates? [/*]


  • Is it important for you to live near family or pre-established friends? [/*]


  • Does your career lock you into a certain location (e.g. a doctor's established practice)? [/*]


  • Do you want a house, apartment, condo, trailer?  This decision is partly dictated by financial considerations. [/*]


  • Could you be a border in someone else's house? [/*]


  • Can you share your home with others?  If someone needed extensive care, or was having financial trouble, could you bring him into your home? [/*]


  • Are there members of your extended family, or close friends that you would enjoy living with?  Are there relatives or friends that you simply could not live with? [/*]


  • In the range of neatnick to slob, where do you fall?  Do you make your bed each morning?  Keep your dirty clothes in a neat out-of-sight pile?  Put dishes in the dishwasher and wipe the counters after every meal?  Or do you let things accumulate and clean up as needed? [/*]


  • Are you a packrat, storing lots of currently unused items for possible use in the undetermined future, or do you retain only those items that have immediate utility? [/*]


  • Do you own valuable collections or equipment?  Will you be able to keep young children away from your "stuff"? [/*]


  • If you have or anticipate infants, which rooms will be safe baby-proof play areas and which rooms will be gated off?  (If you have to spend every waking moment monitoring your infant for safety, you'll be a frazzled wreck in a week.) [/*]


  • Do you have specific thoughts on how rooms should be decorated?  On color schemes?  (Usually the woman does and the man doesn't, so there is no trouble.) [/*]
    [align=center]Religion
    [list=1]
  • What are your religious or metaphysical beliefs?  Why are we here? [/*]
    [/align]
  • What happens to us after death? [/*]

[/*]


  • Name a couple U.S. presidents that you admire, and a couple that you dislike.  What actions or characteristics made these men good or bad presidents? [/*]


  • Aside from the superficial physical features, are there innate differences among the races? [/*]

  • How much money would you be willing to spend to conceive?  IVF is $10,000 a shot, with a 20% success rate, and no guarantees. [/*]


  • How many years will you spend trying to conceive?  At what age might you consider alternatives? [/*]


  • How do you feel about surrogate parents?  Do you know anyone who would carry a child for you?  Would you do this for anyone else?  What do you think of those who do it for money? [/*]

  • Have you had any experience with adoption?  Do you know people who were adopted?  Do you know any parents who have adopted? [/*]

  • Can you tolerate the scrutiny of a social worker who is (perhaps) half your age, and has (perhaps) half your education? [/*]


  • Are you prepared to be treated like dirt by an entire industry?  I have talked to adopting parents who place this process among the top five worst experiences of their lives, and sadly, I must number myself among them.  Then again, some people say the same thing about pregnancy, morning sickness, and childbirth, so I guess there is no easy solution. [/*]

  • Should the child be given an unconditional allowance, or will all funds be tied to chores, or other tasks? [/*]
    [align=center]What Do You Do When?For each item below, the number is the approximate age of the child.
    [list=1]

  • Your baby spits food out at the table, or tosses food off his plate.  Not out of anger or spite; he thinks it is a funny game. [/*]
    [/align]
  • She throws a hard wooden block across the room, in your general direction. [/*]


  • He refuses to put his puzzles away. He just doesn't feel like it. [/*]


  • She throws a ball across the living room (a forbidden zone) and breaks one of the many knickknacks on your shelf. [/*]

  • She strolls over to a friends house without permission or supervision, crossing a street in the process. [/*]


  • While grocery shopping, he covertly tosses his favorite candy bar into the basket.  You don't notice until you get home. [/*]


  • She asks why people have to die.  She wants to know when you are going to die, and when she is going to die. [/*]


  • He refuses to eat many of the meals you serve; especially your vegetable stir fries.  Of course he still wants his snacks and deserts. [/*]


  • She has lost all interest in her piano lessons (substitute your favorite instrument).  She avoids practice sessions using every trick in the book. [/*]


  • He wants a new bike, but you can't really afford one right now. [/*]


  • She wants to wear make-up to school.  Her best friend is wearing make-up. [/*]


  • He comes home smelling of cigarettes.  He denies it, but it is unmistakable.  There are none on him, and none in his room.  He must have borrowed some from a friend. [/*]


  • She brings home a C in a subject that she is pretty good at.  she should have obtained at least a B, perhaps an A. [/*]


  • He wants an after-school or weekend job to make some extra money, but he needs you to drive him to and from work. [/*]


  • She is on the high-school debate team, and wins the regional championships.  (It is just as important to reward as to punish; probably moreso.) [/*]


  • He has obviously had unprotected sex.  The girl is pregnant. [/*]


  • She doesn't want to go to the college you had hoped she would attend, but she still wants and needs your financial support.

Do you engage in risky behaviors such as sky-diving, hang-gliding, or motorcycle racing?  Would it be prudent to suspend these behaviors while you are raising a family?

dang. they always manage to sneak this trick question in there somewhere

I just had a mental vision of you jumping (letting go?) from a hang glider, sitting on a motorcycle.

I'm sure there must be a photoshopped picture out there somewhere... :P

Holy thread resurrection Batman!!
Holy cucumbers Batman look at the pickle we are in!



FSUW are not for entry level daters
FSUW don't do vague
FSUW like a man of action. Be a man of action 
If you find a promising girl, get your butt on a plane.
There are a hundred ways to be successful and a thousand ways to f#ck it up
Just kiss the girl, don't ask her first. Tolerate NO excuses!

Questions to ask when first meeting FSUW

Here are a bunch of questions I copied off the net for you guys who are at a loss for questions to choose from:

Looks like Bruce got a huge list which are all things that need to be discussed
eventually. For the first meetings, I look for Chemistry and to see if she is a
good girl. I never ask trick questions, a good girl will just be who she is and
she won't like trickery or games, a dubious girl will show her true colors eventually
if you keep your eyes and ears open.

If you get a good Chemistry vibe, then you are basically looking to see if you
are compatible and share the same values. (All the questions that Bruce listed
are things that eventually need to be discussed), but in the short term, I would
discuss some logistics about the trip.

Like getting a sim card for your phone, how much time she can spend
with you, immediate trip needs like toilet paper, shopping etc. Then I
would talk about our potential future together, her hopes and dreams.

NOTE: This is supposed to be fun. If you aren't having fun then you are
with the wrong girl AND you are doing it wrong!!
