Should I do VK?
« on: December 17, 2017, 10:47:30 AM »
So while I have looked on VK from time to time I have never actually done a profile for myself on VK. I was wondering from you guys that have done so what the benefits are and any disadvantages are? My thought is to add women that I am interested in when I contact them on various dating sites so they are all handily in one place for me :) Is this a good idea or will I suffer from doing it this way?

If you add them as "friends" they will " see" each other. Otherwise, it is just a place like Facebook. Not sure but I heard Poroshenko closed VK for Ukraine. Don't know 100%.

Could them seeing each other be a problem or play into my hands? :P

I think it is a problem. You can talk to them without being a "friend" but then they will ask why)))) Overall, it is like FB .

Oh, well here on Facebook attractive females tend to get a following of interest men on Facebook so the men have to compete for her/easy place for her to go for a 'replacement' boyfriend. Like you seem to suggest I am not sure that would work the other way around particularly with FSW where I'm guessing the females might get peeved and go off.

Yes, it is blocked in Ukraine unless you use a proxy. Most are moving over to Facebook anyways.

Oh boy not this again.... you want to do photography, VK, next probably set up some knitting hobby club to meet girls.

Get off your butt start writing women, ask them to Skype, invite them for a date, fly out to meet them, rinse and repeat until you succeed.  Simple but not easy.

You're just wasting time doing all these other things.  People give you advice but you don't listen so in the end it's up to you to take responsibility.

I'm not trolling here it's a serious legitimate question. If we can improve the way we do FSU dating in the early stages then why not.

People talked about where's best to improve their chances in finding a woman and avoid certain agencies. Ultimately it's up to the man to catch a woman. A man in the top 10% can easily catch a quality woman at VK, Facebook, Mamba, or any legitimate site. Figure out what you need to do and be to get into the top 10% and life will be good.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

I am not suggesting anything, you asked- I answered. Don't see any difference between any of Internet places of this kind and see nothing handy in them if you want to meet a woman in FSU. Phone, Skype meeting in person- this is all I know)))

The problem is this guy isn't even a troll.  if you read his posts it's just the way he's hardwired.  A troll can only keep things up for so long before getting bored.  He's been posting crap like this from the start and people have refuted basically everything he says to no avail. I should probably stop responding but every time I come I see a new thread or post by Trench that is so off the wall that you can't help but laugh.  It's good comedy.

Trolls don't get bored if they are constantly fed!! He wants validation not advice. He wants someone to talk to, this board is his life!!

Any advice given is always the same for months now, at what point does one give up, members on the board say same thing over and over.

Let Trench do whatever he wants to do, pat him on the back, then let him come back and tell us what happens on his trips.

Trench doesn't have the persona of a troll but more of a social misfit who embellishes the truth to make himself feel better.

Like when he said he accomplished more with women in 1 month in Ukraine than in my half year in Moscow.  I pointed out that he had 3 total dates and narry a peck on the cheek.  He said if he had 6 months in a FSU country he'd have a woman lined up ready to go back home with him.  I told him good luck with that and I hope you do.

It may puff him up but realistically he knows deep down this will not happen.  I think he's been trying for a few years now and has not progressed since he started.

Come on now. It is nary, not narry.
He banged the one in Kherson who took him shopping. They both got what they wanted.

Not at all. If I wanted someone to talk to I would just contact these women and be a keyboard romeo. There are lots of guys out there that do that and never visit the girl or message more than the bother about visiting. I have told you that I am purposely putting off messaging any woman firstly because I know when the time is right to do so as it bloody cold out there till at least March. Secondly because I would rather arm myself with the best info available and it it right. Messaging lots of women and making lots of common mistakes and getting it wrong time and again only add up to a very long search and a lot of disappointment. Guys like 2tallbill have 9 years having learnt as they go so it's great to be able to learn from guys like him and avoid making some stupid mistakes. Others here have been at it a while but havery not had the successential he has had. Go figure who I would rather listen to for advice, not always but a lot of the time. Gaspar on this forum is like the new me, he too is asking lots off questions and he too is a bit off target on some issues. Why? Because this scene is all new to him as it wad to me. He has never been to the FSU and so has no real starting place, experience or idea to work from. It's normal when entering something new to ask a lot of questions some of them silly sounding to the more experienced to really understand this field. Not asking questions is what the idiots do, they go out there get stung, fail often and usually give up proclaiming it's a no good thing to do. Do you really think I would sit here asking questions and put up with all the flak from the peanut gallery when I could be having more pleasant conversations with a hot FSW? No of course not, I am curious about many subjects in FSU dating and want to know more, have a better understanding of how this all works. It can take some time to understand how it all works out there. Even ML was not quite sure the other day what the exact situation was in the FSU with regard to rape and he has been in the game here a while. Topics such as that are crucial. Can you imagine the same topic from the FSU side? A GSM being told 'hey be careful if you meet a woman in the west she can cause you of rape even in a relationship/married and you will be presumed guilty in all likelihood if there is no evidence to ghe contrary'. He would be shocked and think the person telling him such is having him on. The same is true for us going to the FSU, bad situations may be avoided if we are armed with the knowledge to avoid them. That is why we should not avoid asking all sorts of questions as it helps each other out however silly they may first appear to us.

Trench are you lying about not having a VK account now?  Your credibility is on weak holding as it is.   In the end none of this stuff matters anyways. It's what happens in your real life.

You've been on here what 2 years or more now?  Plenty of time. what exactly do you need to understand, find a woman you like who likes you and go do things together.

If you regard a topic like rape as crucial then man your head is in a strange, strange place.  Sickening almost.

Just found this thread too by Trench: "How to handle this one?"   http://www.russianwomendiscussion.com/index.php?topic=22204.0
 
One guy wrote in response:

Trench

I must ask, why don't you just come to grips with that this is not for you?
The problem has never been, and will never be, the Ukrainian or Russian women, or the Slavic culture, their behaviour, or way of living,.
Everything that is a problem, is you.

Does it never strikes you that there must be a reason almost all people here disagree with you in just about everything you write?

Couldn't have said it better myself.  The only thing that will teach him is repeated failure until he learns from his mistakes.

Re: Should I do VK?[ title]

No - even if you haven't already done a profile

VK / Facebook, etc., - in my opinion - should be used to contact people you have met in real life

PLENTY of single,  attractive, FSU  ladies have profiles you'll never see - as they were already fed up of guys using the sites to hit on them...
