The article quotes one man's reasons for preferring FSUW.
 
Quote

"The American men are being decimated. That's one of the reason homosexuality is so popular," an FSU-fancier named Ken told me. "[American] women have become so dangerous, so damaging that it's just not worth it.

 
"Russian women know what they are," he added. "They're not men with boobs. That's what they are in America, they're men with boobs."


So wacky as to be laughable.    :ROFL: 
 
This idiot skipped over the "AW are fat" excuse and went to the crazed ideas of the confirmed dmisogynist.   A real "prince of a man." 
 
Where do these guys come from?  I don't have any friends who would say such seriously.

I'm surprised he didn't mention how FSU ladies are traditional, compliant and subservient.

One of these forums. ;)

From the article: And even with his fiancée en route, Ewald can't quit. He still chats occasionally with his nearly 120 young Ukrainian female friends on VKontakte. He says he hasn't told Alina yet. He's afraid she might get jealous.[/quote]

Great way to thank the guy for sharing his story and giving the author fodder for his story. Really threw the guy under the bus.

I disagree.  You can't have a good relationship without honesty.  If the guy is ashamed of what he is doing, he shouldn't be doing it.

Quote from: From the Article
...These men say they prefer Eastern European women because they're more family-oriented and traditional than their American counterparts. But they often fall into the bitter misogyny you'd expect from men who concoct sweeping sociological explanations for their shitty love lives.


LOL. That's dead-on. At least they're being truthful...


Quote
...Ewald himself doesn't seem like such a bad guy. He says the more he read up on FSU women, the more he was attracted to their "traditional values." "They're more geared toward a family role of caregiver, caring for a husband," he said. He wanted to find someone who would be excited to look after his ten-year-old son. And it doesn't hurt that the younger women of Ukraine don't seem to mind dating a guy almost twice their age.

I thought Ewald said himself he cruised women's profiles based on their pictures? LOL. As for finding a woman in her 20s *being excited to care for his 10-year old son* ~ good luck with that.

In the main, a journalist is on par with a policeman in so much that the only thing you should tell him is, "I have nothing to say." Or else face the consequences.
 
I agree about honesty in relationships. Trust is the primary ingredient in any relationship.

Didn't mention the direct reference...

Google brought Ewald to the flourishing online community of Western men who lust after Eastern European women. On message boards like Russian Women Discussion, Ruadventures, and Fiance.com, they offer each other tips and encouragement, and detail trips to Russia and other countries in the former Soviet Union (FSU, in message board terms) to scope out the FSU women they say make superior mates.
'Lust after'?
Somebody slap a turd out of this guy!

I thought it was pretty accurate.

The comments after the article are pretty amusing too.
