I'll give you guys some feedback based on what I experienced in russia

[Misha]

Things change Misha, your older, accept and embrace it. FWIW

Fine, I won't comment any further.

Find another approach, this one is tiresome

Find another approach, this one is tiresome

What other approach? I am admitting that I have said what I wanted to say, and have nothing more to add. I have no need to beat a dead horse 

[mendeleyev]

Congrats, Mendy.  You must be very proud.

Thank you on behalf of her! She worked part and put her "nose to the grindstone" so at the end of an era I'm just pleased at her work ethic and attitude. Yes, sometimes she is a challenging young adult, but most of the time she is wise beyond her years. Fun, too.

From the looks of things a wedding will be in the works at some point but I'm not going to rush it.

Did you not consider that 15 pages ago?

The wedding is great news too!  I recall that you have posted fondly of this young man.

What can I say, it is easy to get carried away on a forum, and I will be the first to admit my failings    Mea culpa!

[AmericanBoy]

ohh you know spanish =).. I'm actually half mexican..

to any and all. What I wrote is the truth as I saw it. I have a decent head on my shoulders and have no reason to lie to anyone. As I said previously, I hate liars and there is no way anyone can prove one word that I wrote is a lie, because it was all honest. I just read everything I wrote and I feel I held my composure well =)

No hard feelings against anyone and best of luck to the boys still on the search.

Again, I dont have time to read through it all but I'll go back later and see if I missed anything important and respond if necessary

[mendeleyev]

Psst...We won't tell anyone but I think you'll find that Mea culpa is Latin, not Latin American or Mexican or Spanish although they do borrow the word. The meaning is the same but if you're looking to Misha for language assistance he's great in French, Russian and English. I can't answer on his behalf about испанский язык.

[GQBlues]

...Clearly, you're not someone who goes to clubs regularly. If you did you'd know a lot more wild things go down that what AmericanBoy has posted here. I've seen it and I'm not a player or heavy partier. I just like to dance.

 

Konfusus-

I was just a bit curious...was this you on the video?



 

[Spoon]

I remember going out with 2 girls to a beer bar. One of the doctors from the hospital.......

Ahhh...... who remembers 'Magnum PI'?

AB your posts crack me up, I get a vivid image of 'Higgins' when you start to tell your stories.

(place plum in mouth and assume very proper Brit accent)....

" I remember the time when me and some of the lads were in Moscow".......etc etc

[Muzh]

Yep, we use it quite a bit. The Spanish version is "Mi culpa" but it is used rarely. Somehow it doesn't sound right all by itself. You have to dress it a little, e.g, Eso(a) fue mi culpa.

Now regarding Mexicans and the Spanish language, most Latin Americans will agree that Mexicans crucify the Spanish language. The irony is they are trying to be purist of the language so the translate everything literally to Spanish.

[calmissile]

Muzh,

Not sure I understood your comments about Mexican Spanish language.  A former G/F from Latin America, and my former wife from Brazil told me that the difference is that Latin Americans and South Americans use more pure Castilian(sp) Spanish, and the Mexicans have butchered it so bad that they have trouble understanding it.

Can you provide a little broader explanation about Spanish as it is used throughout most of the world vs Mexican Spanish?

[ECOCKS]

I find your assessment generally "spot on" in virtually every particular.

Like a couple of others I would suggest you be slightly more discreet regarding what some will describe as "kiss and tell" exploits and will offend some with too much information or detail.

You might try starting an alternate thread in the Anything Goes section and make sure you use a thread title which clearly identifies that you are being more explicit on things like sex. It's a fine line between boasting and providing first-hand information in a non-threatening manner (to some of the apologist and overly-defensive people here).

Yes, please add some more important details. I am sure one or two lurkers will want to retrace your footsteps.  Maybe the names of the discos?  Which night is ladies night?  That's when the ladies get 3-for-1 drink specials,  start chasing their shadow after a couple of rounds, and howling at the rotating silver ball light.  And of course, the guys all get prettier near closing time.

Guys, I had an interesting date yesterday. The guy was a young American who used to travel a lot around the world and lived in Russia for about 2 years when he was in his early 20-ies. He didn't know for sure where I was from but on the date itself explained me that he had guessed that from the name. He told me that he cameto Russia  to work as a volunteer and worked as a teacher in language camps, he also showed me many pictures on his phone and everywhere he was with 1 or 2 RW. He also told me that he has a lot of Russian and Ukrainian female friends in the US and he has been told by an American  friend that he should marry a Russian.

He looked very strange to me telling about all those girls and how badly he wanted to meet that girl he met 10 years ago, how great she was, how they were planning on going to Turkey together, etc... it was supposed to be a DATE, not his story about all the RW he has met and knows. but he looked like he was very excited about that and wasn't ashamed of telling about all of them at all.

I have met another guy before, his grandparents were from Ukraine, and he knew a lot of RW and UW in person.

So now I arrived at an interesting conclusion: there is a category of young AM, they meet a lot of RW, are surrounded by them, know a lot about Russia, but they simply can't concentrate on one girl and have a serious relationship with anyone, it looks like they are just married all of them at the same time.

I Remember Vasilisa, you said something about the two heads of men, and wanting one who's brain was not in his jeans  or something  like this.

That category of men has his brains in his Hanes.

   Am I the only one here that sees the incredible contradiction being perpetrated here? Here comes AB telling us he has had this wonderful American girl at home waiting for him. By his own words he admits to cheating on her while away in Russia. Now he wants to paint all these RW as being like him and being unfaithful to all their boyfriend and husbands. AB is a self admitted cheat which also makes him a liar IMHO. He lied to his girl back at home just as I am sure he lied to all his supposed conquest over in Russia, all the while getting some medical treatment. What makes any of you think his has all of a sudden gotten a new moral perspective and is now telling us all the truth. The smartest decision his ex American Girl did was to leave him and seeks a more faithful and honest partner to walk down the path of life with. Now he can claim that it was overwhelming numbers that caused him to cheat but that would also be just another lie. He was weak and really did not care for the emotional welfare of his girlfriend back home or the women who he  is now choosing to slander when they have no means to defend themselves. Now I am sure there are RW who are unfaithful just as there are AW doing the same. Just as there are faithful AW and RW who have respect and love for their partners, and do not play games with their trust and love. I have always maintained that people are the same all over there are good ones and bad ones. We tend to gravitate to those that are most like us and support our world view. Now may be the reason he thinks all RW are cheats and liars are because he was is one himself. AB can do all the crying he wants about how his American Girl friend left him, but he has no one to blame but his own behaviors. IMVHO.

   Also where was his respect for all those Russian boyfriends and Husbands he also caused pain to if we are to believe his story. Now I am only pointing out what he has said by own words have said in this post. I am not passing judgment on him or calling him something he has not told us that he is already (by his own words). This is the real story he is telling us here again IMHO.

   Now I am sure there are those that will strongly disagree with my post but I have said nothing here that AB did not say himself. So the way I see it I am agreeing with him. He is not the most trustworthy of individuals. I am not criticizing him or calling him names just pointing out the logical conclusions of his own statements.

[Boethius]

I thought AB's American girlfriend dumped him before he started hanging out with Russian girls?

The honest truth is, I'm the furthest thing from a womanizer. I fought off these girls when I first got there because of my relationship at home.  In my opinion I really am a good boy. I was with my gf for 9 years, who was my high school sweetheart and my eyes only saw her.
.....

Later my gf and I started running into issues and started fighting. I was amazed, I thought english was a very universal language, but its not, not even in the airport. Everyone loved me but I still felt very alone, no real way to bond with anyone because nobody spoke my language. Then this little russian angel who was only suppose to be my friend came along, I needed her love and regretfully it developed into something more.  After I went home for visa problems, me and my gf split and I was with the Russian girl  for 6 months. Again, my eyes only saw her.  We were somewhat long distance, but I never cheated on her. We'd get drunk in the hospital all the time and girls would always come onto me but I never thought about it. After me and the russian gf split, I really really tried to avoid girls. My goal was to hurry up and get home to try and repair my relationship.. The girl in the pink really liked me a lot but she was just a bond for me because she spoke English. Then the girl lena came along and I needed her. I didn't even meet her when I was in the hospital,  but after we met she instantly started taking care of me (calling taxis, order me food,  basically anything I needed she did it) then she started started saying those 3 little words and talking about love blah blah blah and again the friendship bond went a little too far.

[happyandstable]

missAmeno

   Just what are you saying here? If you are trying to disprove my post? If so then I think you just did the opposite. He clearly states he was still in a relationship when he states “I needed her love and regretfully it developed into something more.” Then he also states “again the friendship bond went a little too far.” Cleary he has a problem taking responsibility for his own actions. The friendship bond went too far because he let it in both cases.

Oh ... well lets have a look at sequence of events

I was with my gf for 9 years, who was my high school sweetheart and my eyes only saw her

AB goes to Russia

Later my gf and I started running into issues and started fighting

AB met "little russian angel"

... regretfully it developed into something more

AB didnt say in what exactly it developed, he didnt say they been sexually intimate. You assumed he cheated (possibly because AB used word "regretfully"

me and my gf split

I was with the Russian girl  for 6 months. I never cheated on her.

After me and the russian gf split .... Then the girl lena came along

You called AB "self admitted cheat" and "a liar" bacause of your own interpretation of "regretfully"


As of "friendship bond" ... May I ask did you ever have been in foreigner country (not as a tourist) for prolonged period of time without friends, family, knowledge of language and in vulnerable position (example as in AB case health condition)? If answer is "No" then please refrain from judgemental analysis.

Russian ladies  fall still prey to the 30+ yo american boy who felt so lonely far away from his NY.  Poor boy was overwhelmed with Tymen RW hospitality, but he resisted couple month before start to live with 17 yo girl. OK, he can be charming, indeed. I just don't get why he keep to being obsessed with his inferiority complex about his appearance (the reason he made the trip to Russia). MissAmeno, don't worry about his health condition, he is fine
