I'd love to get the married guys' opinion about dating challenges (when looking back) in this thread. Any insight helps. Spasibo!

If you really just want guys to comment on the dating process, don't ask for their contact information.    That is an immediate turn-off because one of the purposes for this site is the relative anonimity.  But if you are soliciting to make contacts, be candid about it.

That's a good point. What I really want to find out if a paid online course can be valuable for those who want to date Russian women. The course shows how it can be done without going the agency route. My professional background is digital marketing and I'm a Russian female married to an American guy. I know what works when doing it on your own and what doesn't. The question is: will guys pay for this course? And if yes, how much?

To add to my earlier reply, in the survey the email address is an optional field. It can be taken totally anonymously.

Excellent.  Now intoduce yourself.  Tell us who you are, how you found out about our forum, etc.  Your course would be a novelty.  Knowing the population on the forum, they will be much more amenable if you participate in other than just floating an (interesting) idea.

Google is my friend - that's how I found this forum. I'm a Russian female. Happily married with 3 kids for almost 14 years to an American guy. I know that Russian women and American guys can make good matches but the industry has such a bad rep that it acts as a barrier to entry. In the age of social media, guys and women can do it themselves with a bit of guidance. That's what the course is all about. I'm not affiliated with any dating agency and never used one. My professional background is digital and inbound marketing and I've been successful doing it. Plus I own my own business in the handmade market (in addition to a full time job).

If you advertise well enough and even participate here and gain respect, you will get clients. We've had guys pay for a coach to travel to the FSU with them, help find and screen for them women to date. Some guys have paid tens of thousands of dollars for advice and personalized help to achieve their goal in getting married. I personally would not pay anybody or an online course for help. There's enough information at this forum that adequately helped me but if some guys feel they need more help than this forum can offer, they may pay for the online course. That is your target group.

Thank you Billy for weighing in - very helpful.

Matryoshka, 

In truth . . . anyone who needs the type of help you (or a similar service) can provide . . . really shouldn't be trying this at all . . . i.e. finding a foreign spouse.

Actually . . . finding the spouse is the easy part.

Going through the endless paperwork (that only increases AFTER arrival in USA) and adjustments is the ridiculous and frustrating part.

ML, you make a great point. I remember quite vividly the drawn-out and paperwork-heavy immigration process. Adjustment was easy for me as I was already fluent in English and traveled quite a bit prior to coming to US.

Much easier if you're from somalia or syria.

Once a guy finds a wonderful woman and falls in love, he better be motivated enough to finish the job and bring her home.

Really should be on the 'Starting Out' forum
