Elena Petrova's book - question
« on: April 16, 2006, 11:07:57 PM »
Hi. I was wondering if anyone had an opinian about Elena's book called "How to Marry a Girl Like Me". Was it a good read with useful information? I ask because I was a little put off by the hard-sell approach advertisement. Is it worth the $50? Just wondering. Thanks.

I got it out just out of curiosity.   I think where you are in learning about FSU women might determine how usefull it was.

The only part that seemed usefull to me was she claimed that we all use the wrong approach in our search for women and she recommended something different.  I decided to try it on one gal and never heard from her again.  She was pretty too, humm

If you are looking for a good-looking business woman who has a high opinion of herself, knows very well how to use American business models including lawsuits, and can sell dreams....this book is perfect for you. :P
No it is not a dog. Its really how I look.  ;)

Very well put Shadow. I remember on her RW "cyberguide" about her opinion on the possibility that RW may marry for a Green card. She said very, very unlikely and listed some rather strained reasons why this is highly unlikely.

BTW it was her site and her essays there that was my chief guide when going to Russia to look for a wife. That plus Inna Mc Neil's Russian Romance site. I wished I had found a RWD at that time or better yet another "Maxx!"

If you need a book to teach you to talk to women you should just buy a dog and call it a day.

You are right.  very right.  I have heard that having the right dog and walking it in the right areas is one of the greatest ways to meet women.

Of course I saw a guy do even better with a monkey on the back of his Harley

Excuse me, thought it was a book about culture differences. I already know how to talk to women and I don't need a dog.;)
