I've noticed more...

[rwoo1983]

young people are lurking to this website and some are even flirting with the idea of dating RW or any FSUW in general. This is not to say there is a big problem dating with AW, but it seems the internet changes the whole game of dating. Since Russia won the 2018 World Cup bid and will stage the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, it seems as if more AM, including young people, are starting to look towards Russia and other Eastern Europe for dating possibilities. It looks like the West, including the USA and Canada, are starting to catch the Russian fever.

I think the reasons why more young people, including myself, like RW/FSUW is more than just looks. Their cultural upbringing fitted them to act more traditional and polite. Personally, I admire their culture and heritage.

rwoo,

What in the culture and heritage do you admire the most?

[rwoo1983]

Hello Gylden,

As an American, I like some aspect of the American culture such as being a free-thinking person who believes in the concept of liberty. i respect and enjoyed meeting people of all cultures. However, I do have my favorites. Overall, I admire the Russian culture and heritage the most. That is my honest opinion.

rwoo,

Yes I understand, I am just wondering, what is it about the Russian culture and heritage that you enjoy?

rwoo,

I love eating their food and listening to their music. I also like listening to Russkoe Radio, which plays R-pop music. Since I was a kid, I always dream of visiting Eastern Europe. Even way before this website ever existed, I am attracted to Slavic women, including Russians.

That's cool, do you like Tatu ? or ? We listen to nasha radio often in our house.
Do you like to eat salo?

When do you think that Russian society started a down turn?

When do you think that Russian society started a down turn?

What do you mean by down turn?

On topic:

As far as younger men go, well I've notice a small uptick in interest. I'll add that there was no way to go but up. If I were25 again, I think I would still go for a RW. yes they can be a handful, but having been with both I give the edge to RW over any others I've dated or had long term relations with.

I'll second that chivo!!

Down turn?
Well what I am talking about is that from what I have seen, it seems there was a time when cities and people in general enjoyed a much better/more prosperous life. At some point in time things changed, my thinking is that it occurred before the revolution (which is why the revolution had a chance in the first place). But your right, it is slightly off topic, although the OP said he admired the culture and heritage, so I was just wondering what it was about the culture and heritage he admired.

Hi Gylden,

Thanks for the reply.
 
I only meant to know what you were referring to about the down turn as I wasn't exactly sure, not so much about being on topic or not as I think it's relevant to the ongoing conversation. I do think it's an interesting question, but one which can't be answered in just a few minutes.

And yes, I don't believe he has adequately answered your question about the culture and heritage .

The young ones probably won't be making any trips once they realize the costs involved. They'll just head to the nearest University party and hook up.

The young ones who doesn't have the money and the audacity to travel beyond the boundaries of the United States won't be the trips at all. Your assertion is true, but that will change in the long-term.

Indeed, there are more of us, finally. I remember when I was the youngest guy on here!

I would also like to point out that I am still only 31, and when I made my first trip at 26, I had a favorable enough experience to realize that is for me.

You are right they are a handful, and I'm still learning what to do with the other hand

Negative, Sir. I believe there will be more and more coming, because AW/WW keeping getting worse and worse. When I was 26 I was done and still am done with the party scene. I'm not looking for a hookup... even though keeps the pips up and running is not a bad thing 

The young ones who doesn't have the money and the audacity to travel beyond the boundaries of the United States won't be the trips at all. Your assertion is true, but that will change in the long-term.

I of course have to disagree  . Technology alone is going to open up the borders for relations

If someone is seriously looking to find a mate and marry, obviously there are alternatives. If that someone is quite young, trying to reason with them that they should wait a few years is most often rather futile.

I was one who married the first time quite young--and that was a major mistake. The changes we all go through early on as adults can be rather profound--and there is absolutely no predicting whether both partners in a marriage will change in the same directions. Look at all the people who marry very young and then soon afterwards divorce, often leaving children to pay much of the price involved. That is obviously true in the West just as it is in the FSU.

Here we have HazyKnight, who is 31 and who has been involved in this particular pursuit since 26 as just one example. Even if he has matured greatly during those years (and from what I've seen he certainly seems like a pretty well-grounded young man), what about the ladies he is considering? They, too, will be going through the same sort of maturation process with the same difficulty in predicting what will emerge in a few years as that process continues.

My first marriage ended after nearly ten years when I was not quite 30. In the years immediately after my divorce, I dated rather widely--it was still in what came to be referred to as the "sexual revolution" and things were quite different than when I had originally married. Even so, the mattress bingo soon palled in its attractions--yet I did not remarry for nearly 24 years after my divorce. First, I came to understand that I had a part in the original breakup, and that I needed to do substantial work on myself if I were to have a real shot at a lasting marriage the second time around. I definitely did *not* want to go through another divorce if I could possibly avoid it.

Later on, as I began to seriously consider finding a mate, I came to understand how difficult that might be for me--not that there weren't opportunities, but I understood by then that in my specific case the number of ladies actually compatible were fairly small and I simply was not finding any where I was--so I expanded my search greatly and wound up meeting Irina here in Ukraine.

The bottom line of all this, looking back, is that when it comes to age I would not suggest trying to be serious with a lady much under 30. There are obviously some great exceptions, but the odds are that those much younger than that are still too much in transition in their own lives.

You're still one of the youngest ones. And in five years a serious, young stud such as yourself should be married by now. SUP with that?

Technology? Relations? Who said anything about that? I said "making trips" which is different than playing Internet Romeo, unless you've come up with a Star Trek transporter that is
