   There you go with those pesky labels again. I never claimed to be a romantic or an Idealist but thanks for playing.

   But on a serious note just because there are observations does not mean the conclusion are correct or relavent.


Heh.. no need to claim.. around these parts, you are the perception of what you write! 


And on a more serious note... there is something about this pursuit that changes each of us a little or even a lot in specific ways.. and that's neither bad nor good but just sorta is... perhaps growth is all it is...


I thought the first woman I traveled to meet was is an angel sent from heaven, for the first four months of our communication prior to meeting-- and even during.. then, for reasons I won't get into, I began to think she is just flat "out there"... "GONE".. as I stated up thread -- the   "WHAT is WRONG with you?" scenario...


Over time I've come to realize that there was/is nothing at all wrong with her.. she just saw the world from a different perspective and defined her reality from that vantage point.  We said the same phrases concerning "love, family, men, women, etc", but those words and/or ideals can be defined in subtly different ways ... At any rate..  enough forum blatherizing for now..

More of my opinions.    I have been around PhDs, and even recruited and hired several to work for me in the fields of engineering or science. 
 
The title PhD itself means something.  Far more important, however, are the qualities of the person with the PhD.   It can be conferred on one person who is indeed a renaissance man with a thirst for comprehensive learning.  And it can awarded to person lacking many of the measures of intelligence I listed above, yet has earned the title via dedication and hard work.  And it can be awarded to someone who waltzed through the process because they are indeed gifted.   And another person may seek a PhD simply for the status rather than than for the noble aspects.

A PhD is only indicative of a higher specialized formal education in one area. It indicates an expertise in the given area and not indicative of high intelligence or high IQ.


To get into many/ most grad schools you need to write the GRE which is in many ways a glorified IQ test.

As an average, 129 is very high. The larger the group, the more likely you will not deviate from the mean. An average of 129 would mean statistically that you have many with IQs over 140 pulling up those with IQs at 100 or occasionlly less than 100.


Sounds like you have been to my town!! You have no clue how hard it is to have a intelligent conversation about politics or world news..

I get sick of gossip "usually not my business", NASCAR "They go in a big circle, for hours on end" and sports rather quickly...

On a side note IQ tests will give different results depending on when you took them.. My score was determined in kindergarten, Unless i lost some of my IQ it should be slightly higher now. At least I hope...

You loose the skills you don't use.

Preference for high IQ in a mate is not better or worse than a height or boob size or weight preference that most men here admit to having  ;D

I agree.  Best woman has not only correct height and weight, but also high IQ and a PhD (or MD, DDS, anything with D in it).  And any boob size B or C  is OK, but not smaller or larger.

But she should also know how to cook and clean; and know her correct place.
Also know how to pour my beer correctly and bring it in timely manner during sports games.
A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

Regarding the OP's question:
I vote "yes" - I am compatible with RW.    I can not speak for other men.   I can speak only about the  RW whom I got to know.
 
In comparison with AW, RW seem to harbor less animosity about men in general even though  RW seemingly have more cause to bear some resentment.     So that is a positive for RW compatibility. 
 
Another positive, I felt more open with RW than with AW.   This enabled me to become close  with RW sooner than with AW.
 
There is a large negative.   Once a conflict emerges, RW seem less likely to talk it out.  And incompatibilities will fester if not resolved.   This has required much patience and gentle persuasion on my part - qualities I did not have when younger.  Yet even today my Cossack woman says I am "rigid" at times.  In my younger days, we would not have lasted long.

The main motivation that should drive anybody to do a PhD is love of research, research that tends to become quite specialized.

Not certain, but I think main reason people seek a PhD is because they know it is required for the profession they want to be in.

For instance, if a person is planning to become a college professor, then they soon find out that a PhD will be required, either for initial entry or later to progress.

As to OPs original question . . .

I  have found little incompatibility between myself and FSUW.
Sure there are some little things, but there are little things that cause incompatibilities between myself and any other person.

In truth, this lack of incompatibility came as quite a surprise to me.
But in actuality,  I have met and spent a lot of time with many FSUW and, with 90% of them, things went just as if I were with a person from my own country or culture.

But, for those who haven't read much  of my prior posts, let me state that I only meet with women who can communicate in English.  Not perfect English, but never need interpreter.

Calmissile,

Because of such women and men like in the video the Russian tourists have a bad reputations... and very often they are called Russian pigs.

BTW there is a Russian saying: make a person drunk and you will see his/her true nature  ;)
I agree, Russian tourists are the worst ones.I have heard that  British girls look like prude ladies in comparison with us and the manners are really good, you would never call them pigs.

Yes, they drink too and behave like pigs. But they are not called Natashas in Turkey and other Arabic countries  ;D

I've never been to Turkey, so I have not idea who is called what, I can say that here, where I live in the US I have seen so many really active American and Latin women that use a lot of make up and dress in a really crazy way that those Turkish guys would die on the spot immediately without being able to make any names for them. Russian girls look like shy princesses in comparison with them. So, I'd say the following: if you compare a Turskish woman and a Russian one the Russian one may look like @Natasha@, but if you compare a Brazilian girl (watch the carnival) and the Russian one the Russian girls are just innocence itself ;D

BTW, since when an opinion of a Moslem guy of christian girls is the  top truth?
Find a guy from Afganistan or Saudi Arabia,where every woman who  not wearing a black dress sompletely covering her body is whore.

What is of more interest to me is another typical feature of many ex-Soviet citizens migrated abroad,  being happilly married for 10+years and having all that perfect life abroad and being completely happy as they tell to everybody they can't stop going to all those dirty Russian forums and criminal news websites, read terrible Russian news, look for drunk Russians videos in youtube and keep telling everybody around how terrible their native country is.

I haven't seen that much from any other people here: French people love their country, English people love it, people from Chili do, even if they love the US they say how much they love the US but they don't show the  disgusting pictures showing how bad their native country is, but many Russians do.

 So, I am curious, what makes them do that? Do you have any clue?  If they are completely happy in the US why look for terrible Russian news online? Just relax and enjoy that life you have?  ;D when I am happy the entire world around me looks happy.

It's funny thing but Turkish guys generally have the same attitude towards RW as RWD men here. They want marry them. As for "Natashas"... Some people tend to see only 'Natashas" and sh#t everywhere.

And the answer to your question about Natasha in short is simple: Russians is probably the brightest dressed nation in Europe as they are Asians with European features, so they stand out, if you cross Atlantic  and see hot blooded Latin guys and half-naked Latin girls dancing Salsa it will even be brighter. Brazilian girls don't go to Turkey on a regular basis, though, there are closer countries to have a rest :P
I have never heard Thai people telling bad things about Russian girls though, I wonder why. ::)

I've never been to Turkey, so I have not idea who is called what...

And you don't need to go there just to know that the nickname came with the prostitutes from FSU.

BTW take a look at the comments on Russian websites from decent Russian people on behavior of Russian tourists similar to the girl in that video...

Actually my video was a response on "Russian Women are complex with their moods, beliefs, games, views on this world, along with the different idea of " being happy" as there is really nothing so much special about RW that would put them in some kind unique category  ;D There is different type of women in Russia like in UK  ;D

Personally, I was critical about some particular things in Russia when I was living in Russia. I also can repeat for especially talented people that love doesn't mean an absence of criticism  ;D

As I said, the opinion of a high school educated moslim guy from a little village who has never left his country means nothing to me. I just don't care, I also don't care about people who think stereotypes and judge the entire nation by a couple example of something. If you open your country for people of a different religion and culture and making a lot of money don't bite the hand feeding you.

I have nothing to be ashamed of and if someone has a mean attitude towards me because he had seen another Russian who had done something mean in his opinion this person is a shallow idiot and I don't care.

your problem is that you are full of complexes about your native country, stop looking for drunk Russians youtube videos, try  "Russian Ark" for example, there are a lot of to be proud of that the Turkish guys and you have no idea of. Good luck.

There are always people who see a beautiful garden and there are people who see the source of allergy looking at the same thing at the same time, it is not a surprise.
As i said, I don't visit the places that contain negative things for me, for example when I am insulted for no particular reason I leave the place.
I am trying to visit the places that are interesting to me and fill me up with joy and positive energy, so I can't understand what makes you visit all those websites full of negative things about Russia? You obviously enjoy them for some reason.
