Elena's Models.... Are they the "lessor of all evils" in the search?

[Kuna]

Maybe I look more Russian than I thought - I couldn't believe the number of people who asked me for directions in every city I visited! 

Too funny... 

I can just imagine the looks on their face when you say:

"Choice Bro - Turn lift at the chilly bun and watch your jandles as you hid down the hell."

It's "jandals," Kuna!  At least I wouldn't have them calling the cops after telling them that the railway station was about sex stops on the bus!

As we came out of the dark entrance with very little light to be found anywhere we were suddenly surrounded by 6 "OMON" officers with guns out and aimed at me. ....Guzel actually called them and told them there was an American with drugs and guns living in my flat.

After they ransacked my things they were satisfied I had no drugs or guns and let me/us go.

Good war story!

Yes, they were the serious police (akin to the narcotics divison in America vs. traffic cops).  You are lucky that Guzel did not plant drugs in your belongings.  Imagine the possibilities if she had.

I assume you now advise AM not to make a RW jealous nor injure her pride.

I have never spent time with RW of Tatar blood.  Are they different?

I wasn't worried about her planting drugs, she was more intent on scaring me than actually causing me real harm. Believe it or not she called me about 10 days later and asked to meet because she was sorry for what she had done. This might sound strange, but I liked her and the feeling was mutual.

As far as RW, well I wouldn't advise any man to make any woman jealous, much less RW and especially Tatar women, but it happens .

When I was there the RW I met told me straight up that Tatar women are more loyal, faithful and fiercely devoted to their man. I dated 3 and all were this way, but of all the women I've dated, they were also the most jealous .

What you might find with the Tatars and women in that area is the mix of looks. For example Guzel had jet black hair, porcelain skin and deep blue eyes. Quite a combination and quite the looker. I saw some of the most stunning women on the planet there in Chelny and Kazan because of the mix of blood in that region.

I beg to differ slightly, Chivo.  On both my trips the registration details on my immigration card very clearly showed where and when I had been registered. 

I understand AK and technically yes, but because Russia has no national computerized data base system not necessary. Many ex-pats used this to their benefit.

Since you have 3 days to register in any city you had a built in alibi for any city you were in because they had no way to prove otherwise as long as you had your original registration. My registration never had any information like that in all my travels and no problem.

Most Americans don't understand this and think Russia operates like America which will have information on the last time you farted .

Some foreigners don't realize this either sometimes but could have a similar system in their country.

I noticed the same with my RW who has Cossack blood.  To her credit, she has done absolutely nothing to make me feel jealousy.

Those with  some psychology or sociology background can probably provide some insight here:  Isn't it the general case that persons who are more loyal, faithful and fiercely devoted to their man (woman) also are most jealous?


Another thing that seemingly goes hand in hand (to my dismay):

Those women that are the most affectionate, loving, caring and protective
. . . are also the most volatile.

[Vincenzo]

So, what is the conclusion?

It's easy to travel to the Ukraine, and the herd of men will go in that direction trying to fight for all available escort girls in Odesa or Mykolaiv.
A clever man will travel to Russia, to a small city where nobody ever goes.

Also, before expensive traveling, he can participate in virtual dates via Skype, send flowers, messages.
How can 4 letters be enough? You can send an SMS each day saying how beautiful and smart she is, each day. If you don't feel that she is wonderful, why don't you move on?

No. The most jealous are those that are the most insecure, immature and, possibly, the most psychologically unstable.

Nope. Wrong again.

Will you get stopped or not by the police in Moscow? The answer is very easy. If you aren't white, you most likely will. If you are white, you most likely won't.

Agree.  Some jealousy is simply a sign of not having adequate confidence and trust, which may improve with time.  Achieving the status of "most" jealous would require striving to control the other person, e. g. limiting where they go, who are their friends, etc.  Yes, dreadful.  Such would be a deep-seated psychological disorder, and time will not fix it (in other words, RUN AWAY!).
