I think another factor that I never see discussed is that the older someone is the more set they get in their ways and the more difficulty they have in adapting to changes in their life. 

Personally I think a gal in her 20's or 30's is going to adjust much faster and better than one in her 40's and 50's   If you get older than that it gets real hard because most American cities just don't have the underground street crossings for them to sit in with the head scarfs and tin cups. 

Besides that two 25 year olds sound much more interesting than one 50 year old.

You are wrong Turboguy. It's younger ones who stay in our metro with tin cups and babies at their hands

I agree Elen, I have seen both there.  It is sad to see people that way.  We have them here too.   The difference is here systems are there to care for them but they opt out of them.

Don't feel sorry for those who stand in Moscow metro - they are reacher than you! It's just beggarly mafia and you would be surprised to know how many they pay for a right to stand in metro and how many they get per day

In Kyiv, on more than one occasion, I saw and heard a violinist and a guitar player. The violinist was amazingly good - professional ability.
I had never heard a street musician like him. I saw those two in different parts of the city.

In Phoenix, we draw many homeless people here in the winter because of our warm climate. It is difficult to know which ones are 'professional beggars' or genuinely poor and homeless. There are government social programs to help the homeless, so the ones you see out on the street are either 'pros' or mentally ill.

Funny, because I thought there were more drunken indians running around downtown Phonenix?   Arizona has more indian reservations than most states...

The Navajo Reservation in northeast AZ and northwest NM is the size of Delaware. Alcohol is not sold on the reservation, but you can find many intoxicated indians in nearby cities, like Gallup, NM, where they can get fire water. AZ and NM have drive-thru liquor stores. Talk about crazy. Call me a weirdo, but there's something about driving and buying liquor that just doesn't make sense to me. On the other hand, you CAN buy liquor in most supermarkets here. That seems reasonable to me. In Utah, sale of liquor and beer is tightly controlled. In UT, beer is required to have a smaller percentage of alcohol, than in other states. -the direct influence of the Church of Latter Day Saints in UT.

Damn corncrowe, with a tounge like that you don't need a RW,  even the AW will be chasing after you.   Everyone needs a few good qualities, now we know what yours is.

I like the question this thread pertains to. I wouldnt recomend my friends trying this. The problem is when you show them pictures, they get all gung ho and want to go over there. They want to know how to meet women when there. After about an hour of telling then all the bad things that can happen while there, their balls shrink back down to their normal size and we start talking about something else. When my fiancee gets here and they meet her, their balls will become enlarged again.

Welcome facetrock.  Have seen/enjoyed your 'cut thru the bs' posts 'elsewhere'. Hope you do stick around.

It does seem that most experienced guys do discourage. Not many unpaid promoters around here.

I've stated that I would recommend a RW to a 'best friend'. My best friends are intelligent guys. They could handle the challenge and adventure. On the other hand, I'd think twice about recommending a RW to just anyone. There are so many guys here that have been programmed by Hollywood into thinking a woman should be a trophy and a sex machine. Many guys have a shallow outlook and do not have a clue what they want and need and what kind of woman would make them happy. They have also been turned into wimps by AW.  :shock:

I guess I am saying that there just a lot of misguided people in the world. There are WM that want to be 'saved' by a RW, and vice versa. There are also a lot of lazy simple guys who, if they were honest, would tell you that yes, they would actually like a whore for a wife. No, I do not mean YOU. So, if the guy is not a close friend of mine, I would worry about the possibility that he might turn out to be a really bad example of men in the US. :( He could be a bad representation of who AM are.     -A bad ambassador.

I don't recommend men to go out and find themselves an FSUW. Most men
aren't cut out for it. An FSUW requires a lot of time, money and effort.
Many men have asked me how they can't get a beautiful Russian wife.
When I say "go to Russia" most men realize doing that is over their
heads (and that's the easiest part).

Probably not, depends. I think that I lucked out, big time. Moscow is not the same place and my friends are not the same as me. I would feel responsible if one of them had a bad experience.

The son of good friend made a seriously bad choice for first wife.  She screwed around, got pregnant by a co-worker, and the son was such a nice and easy going guy that he paid child support for this child after divorce.

Then he married a second time, and she died way to young with a sudden fatal stroke.

I was seriously thinking about getting him started by looking at some dating sites for FSUW.
He was in early 40s, making good money, good looking, had a Corvette and pickup truck (what more could a woman ask for), so would have a lot of choices.

But then, he found a local gal, had a whirlwind romance, and married less than a year after death of second wife.  He faced a lot of criticism for not waiting a year or more; however I was somewhat relieved in that I didn't have to face the choice of whether or not to get him started with FSUW.
A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

I like the question this thread pertains to.

The expenditure is un-explainable.

It costs a few bucks but the expenditure of time, effort, energy and
emotions are impossible to explain.

How do I tell them about spending every day talking to a girl for several
months, then traveling to see her only to find out it wasn't going to work
out? Here I was thousands of miles from home, in a land where they don't
speak English and I was going to put this out of my head (Never happens)
and go see if I can convince a cutie to have tea with me? 

How do I tell them how I felt when I put Angel Eyes on a plane to go
back to Russia from the USA. I was (still am) completely in love with
her and I did not want to send her away. I knew that I would not see
her again for months. 

Who besides the guys at this forum would understand any of it?

How do I explain that it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!

I think I’ve told this story before.... A few years ago I confided in a friend that i’d met a nice Russian woman online. He took every chance he could to tell me I was a fool and getting scammed. Eventually out of frustration I convinced him to join fdating to prove you could find genuine FSU women online. He was adamant he would prove otherwise.....He married the first women he contacted 😂

Angel Eyes wanted to find men for her single friends and
I told her to keep me out of it.

In my opinion, she started out with the wrong friend. She
has a friend who was slightly overweight, had a dyke haircut, 
smoked and couldn't speak English very well.

She actually found someone that it could have worked, they both
became facebook friends but the guy had never owned a passport,
had possibly never left the country and he was never going to do
all the crap that is absolutely necessary to marry a Russian woman
and to get her to the USA, besides he wouldn't have to look at all
to find a gal just as attractive who spoke English.

She has pretty friends who are feminine, maybe if she started with
one of them, but I never encouraged it and she stopped trying to
fix up her friends.

Bill, Mrs tried that for a while, very much against my advice. It always ended in tears or finger pointing.

Would I encourage a friend, absolutely not. That said, I wouldn't actively discourage someone who was bent on this course but I would (and have) give them a few reality checks...

In my opinion they can't help it. Women are sensitive and emotional
creatures and I think their friends nudge them along.

It never works. Many women don't know what they want and they certainly
don't know what would make their friends happy. It never ever works.
