Is this RW a wacko or setting up for a scam?

[corp]

I'm not sure if she is a scammer, but I did notice a couple of code words...

"Age doesn't matter" could mean that YOUR AGE doesn't matter, i.e. she thinks your age isn't an issue to her. Sometimes, women in their early 20's will write that when corresponding with women in their 30's and 40's.

"Sex is important"...if you read some of the Russian Women Abroad postings, sex is one of the major complaints. She could just be fishing around to make sure that you ARE interested in sex.

Of course, I could be way off...I often misread the code words....

If you only look at agency profiles you might not see "sex is important" but if you read regular russian dating sites you see they feel comfy listing this, I don't think it's a red flag.

Bruno!!!

 Where did you see my profile? I just can't believe they listed all these wonderful things about me.....:P;)

Ken

P.S. I have seen something about the FSUW version of this list. Will pass it along if I can find it again.

Hey Tiger Paws, you have a trip report from when you and your son went to sochi?  A father/son angle would make one hell of a story!

[TigerPaws]

Daknack,

 We were there several years ago so the information would not be curent but if you would like I could write soemthing up based on the angle you are talking about if you would like?

[Daknack]

Id LOVE to see it actually.  I think it would be a dynamic previously unexplored as well as a window into family acceptance to international relations.

I am not sure it will happen but I am having some conversations with my son about coming along to Russia or Ukraine on one of my trips.  He is in a divorce and sure has not had luck with American women. 

Heck, he sorta likes them a little older than I do.  Maybe we can find two sisters and he can have the older one or how about this.  A mother and daughter and I can take the daughter and he can have the mother.  I am just joking about that.  The cold weather in Kiev has frozen my brain.  Not too much grey matter to freeze there anyway.
