I really hate myself..  Saw this link on another board and thought it would be an interesting 'food for thought' topic starter here.

BC,

This is a really good acvice list!  100 items of sound advice.  I just wonder why I have NEVER seen such a good list of advice for guys?? 

Maybe we can build up such a list here? 

Any ideas guys??

Can we come up with a 100 items???

I will happily take on the editorial task of putting the list together

Yes, we can come up with a good list.  When would you like me to start giving suggestions?  Some possibilities are introspective, soul searching kinds of questions like- Are you sure you really want a wife from abroad? or Do you have the patience for dealing with someone from another culture when having difficulty conversing? Do you have the financial resources to bring a woman to your country?  There are a lot of possibilities in the area of mens grooming and presentation also!  Frank

As I've found typical with "English versions", the Russian version is more complete and in depth - including how to conduct herself in a restaurant setting, ie: don't order the most expensive entree, make that glass of hooch last all evening lest he deem you a drunken barfly (I'm taking liberties here). The coup d'grace is the hilarious advice on strategies at the socials, entirely absent from the English variation. Some snippets: What can distinguish you from the horde of others? If you can overcome the feeling of herd instinct and are not afraid " to be unique" - dress simply, use a minimum of cosmetics and scents. Usually at "socials" the majority are Americans, and they normally act very simply. Do not drink alcoholic drinks, be limited to mineral water and juice. The drunk woman makes not the best impression. Look a little bit absent-minded and bored, but not sad or too lively. Smile sometimes.

Point being, whenever I compare versions of news releases, reports and features, even by recognized publications, the English either doesn't exist or is condensed beyond intent and meaning. Then again, this list's primary target are the FSU ladies, and not really Western men, although it IS an entertaining read.

Maybe we can try keeping it to the same style for now? Ideas are welcome. I've given what I (as a newbie) think next to each number, and below what was originally there (plus possibly some comments).

ICQ, Yahoo, or drop me something on here if you want to add your own comments.

And yes, I realize not everyone will agree, and I don't even entirely agree with everything I put. Today was the modification and switch over to what corresponds for men it seems. Later this week (when I find enough time) I'll try to add in a couple more of my thoughts and ideas, and any others I get.

Wow.  I really thought this would just be another list of stupid advice dreamed up by someone without a clue, but this seems like a pretty accurate list to me.

I wish some of the women I've dated earlier (not from the FSU) had read this.  In particular #71.  I like the fact that it doesn't emphasive that you should have sex early in a relationship, but rather that a man needs to know that you find him attractive enough to want to have sex.

Welcome scarrow!

I forgot all about this thread.

Nice to know it gets looked at from time to time. If you're serious keep digging away.  You'll probably find out there's a pretty tough crowd around here but don't let that turn you off.

I just love nr. 71

And what do you think over this version :D:D:

А теперь немного о сексе. Поймите, что даже если вам заплатили за проезд и гостиницу, вы не обязаны за это расплачиваться натурой.

Вообще, на мой взгляд, лучше пригласить "жениха" к себе. Но уж если он сильно настаивает на встрече где-нибудь в Европе и обещает за все заплатить, то пусть купит тур, чтобы и гостиница и билеты в оба конца были оплачены. Не подвергайте себя опасности в поте лица "отрабатывать" обратный билет. Вы всегда можете сказать "нет". Даже если 100 раз уже с этим человеком занимались сексом. Поверьте мне, американцы хорошо слово "НЕТ" понимают. В этой стране даже жены могут запросто подать в суд за изнасилование.

Однако если вы друг другу понравились и поняли, что у вас серьезно, а тем более если уже договорились о браке, на мой взгляд, проверить "доблесть" жениха стоит. Вам же не нужны сюрпризы после свадьбы! Слишком много сейчас развелось импотентов. Многим моих подругам встречались несостоятельные мужчины даже в возрасте 30 лет!

Если ваш друг избегает секса после того, как у вас уже сложились серьезные отношения, - ВНИМАНИЕ! Насторожитесь! Причины им могут выдвигаться разные, скажем, религиозные. Или, например, одной из моих подруг было сказано: "Я джентльмен. Я тебя слишком уважаю. Я не могу так - в гостинице!". (Чем, интересно, плохи гостиницы?) При этом они страстно обнимались и целовались, а подруга моя, надо отдать ей должное, редкой красоты и стройности дивчина. И никакой мужской реакции на эти обстоятельства!!!
