Short medical doctor in need of advice

[Kabnis30]

Dear all,

I am new to these forums, but was hoping to get your advice. I am deeply attracted to women from the FSU; there is something about their personality and overall beauty that I find irresistible. The issue is that I am a short man at 5'5". A bit more about me, I am a surgeon of Chinese descent from the United States of America and just turned 30. I really want to start a family with the right woman, but cannot find any women from the FSU who will give me a chance because of my height. Most of the personals I read state that a suitable man must be at least 5'6 or 5'7 if not something like 5'9 or 5'10. So should I just give up my search for a Russian partner and look elsewhere?

There are women who are shorter than 5-5 in FSUW.  Also I think some will accept up to 2 or 3 inches difference.  I am 170cm and was contacted by a woman of 175cm.

No, don't give up.
There are thousands of FSUW for whom you will not be too short.

Go here and follow the procedures:

When you do your screening, put in a height for the women that is less than or equal to your height.  Don't eliminate any woman (when you are sending out your first letter) who indicates they want someone taller than you. 

Many of the women don't give too much deep thought to the blocks they are checking off on these websites and, in some cases, the woman herself isn't even checking off the blocks . . . rather her girlfriend is doing it for her.

Welcome Kabnis!

I think response at FSU dating sites will be much better... but will likely not be the 'better' you are looking for.

Considering your profession, I think it would be a great idea to combine a bit of work and pleasure..  Many around here have found partners by visiting or doing business in FSU.  I think that would be an ideal approach, not to mention maybe a tax write off....

Some ideas:

http://nbscience.com/oncology-conferences-in-russia/

etc etc... just google your specialty and 'conference' and 'russia' or whatever country floats your boat.

To me it's all about getting an 'in'... a foot in the door.. Just getting there with a purpose other than bride seeking will put you in position to meet plenty of FSU women... that's almost guaranteed. 

Stick around, read a bit and ask any questions you might have.

Good luck!
