Yeah, those slavic looks and accent are quite enticing, but don't let that fool you into thinking the girl next door isn't worthy because her skin may be a bit thicker or that your pool of available women doesn't match your newly found expectations. In the end it's all only skin deep and that starts to disappear the day you marry.
I would agree in a big general way,
women are women , men are men..
but i's also add that "in general" there also is a slightly different mindset.
and this does not apply only to women.
if someone thinks the average Brazalian man, has the same outlook on relationships or women,
compared to an average Canadian man,well that isn't a very realistic world view.
Granted a man doesn't need to travel to the FSU to find a *generality*...or diffrence?
but to say that nationalities or cultures are exactly the same , regarding relationships, between women and men..
to me seems almost as delusional as pretending one particular one is "The Disneyland of family values"
In Chicago date about 10 polish women, that are maybe even 2nd or third generation,
similarly date 10 chicago AW from the big city enviroment, or ten from the burbs,
then 10 from downstate southern illinios.
yes fundamentals are the same !!
and ultimately compatibility rides on two INDIVIDUALS.
but to say a *given man* ,dependent on his own background, relationship needs and personal traits, wouldn't generally have a better chance of being compatible with a certain group ,
is to me a bit naive.
All that said, very few men are searching the FSU because they are a better match in "general"
with that culture (maybe the opposite),but i think it is a motivating factor in their minds.
Kevin the "why" someone searches is probably very individualistic.
Personally i had lived much of my life in several other cultures and a considerable amount of time in europe,and so,
my family certainly expected me to marry a european.. (but probably not a RW, more likely someone a met thru work in my travels to various western european countries)
My first wife (I was widowed) was Irish.
One of my LTR was with a AW,that i met in Greece.(that was the more unlikely scenario,as far greater chance i'd date a greek woman while living there right?)
As someone a bit jaded..lol
maybe some mens outlook is
why not take that additional risks?
because the
perception is a positive cultural "general difference" and phyisical beauty.
Regardless if that is reality,if the odds of local women divorce rate is 50/50,,,.
a glib, *why not*? RW scenario may not be any better or worse, but it is different..
That may be the simplest answer.. lol
I also would say some guys do not solely restrict their search to RW???
and are indeed simply expanding their dating pool..
it's a cliche' here, but is accurate from some men.
They are open to dating local women, latin women, asian women , or any other nationality..
and simply look for someone special for them..
travel to other countries isn't a big deal them, and the oft touted hurdles of this endeavor are not nearly as large as they sometimes appear here, if a couple is legitimately in a caring relationship.
Again it would depend greatly in the two individuals involved..
Reading here the stories of many, it is easy to see a mostly negative slant..
why? it's natural..
if out of a relationship,its more common to have time to post about it,and
something to post about ?
So you likely miss a lot of successful stories..
and those men and womens motivations and thoughts.
They are living thier lives ,not posting and not likely to drop by to post: "everything is fine"
I know a lot of local AM/RW couples ,they simply do not post and wouldn't think to.
Granted, as BC indicated,in most of those cases they met thru work or college or in a more traditional way, but a few did meet thru internet dating or agency.
I just spoke with GON a few weeks ago (long time member here that never posts anywhere anymore) he is busy with family and two kids..
Of course there are trainwrecks not posted as well.
but i think its far more common for people to share their mishaps than their
success in this situation...
Reading all the negatives here ,would give most anyone reason to pause ,and question their sanity, or at least their true motivations.
I've always felt this endeavor often does one very important thing ,
cause some serious self reflection..
and that is a positive thing..
