Svetlana Osipova, Saratov, Scam

[Gator]

Rembrandt,

I give you both critical and positive comments. 

First the critical - You seem like an intelligent man, saying you have an Ivy League education.  So why did you choose a 19-yo for a serious meeting?  I am willing to bet she is uneducated, certainly not working in some white collar profession, probably capable of only menial jobs.  Really, was she the type of woman you would be proud to introduce as your wife to the CEO of some IT company?   

Another critical comment - Do you know that intelligence can be measured in at least seven different ways, of which only two are needed for  university education?  I say this because carrying  $8500 in cash is very dumb, yet not nearly as dumb as mentioning it to Svetlana.   You give Ivy League a bad name. 

Now the positive - as others have mentioned, I appreciate your humility and candor in telling your story.  Yes, please stay around and participate with us. 

Now some advice - I know that you feel very confident about your present woman.  And you have visited her periodically.  However, be sure to think everything through backwards and forwards.   I say this because any man dumb enough with $8500 is capable of making other stupid mistakes. 

I wish you the best.  Truly I do.

Ludmila,

The Eagles song you cite goes all over the place - failed journalism,  short-term love addicts,  and seemingly mockery of conservative religious views.   So what is the message, as I seem to be missing the little picture you paint. 

I guess I would better understand your posts if I had smoked a joint.  But it has been years. 

But stay with us at RWD.  The same as you, I too misread Rembrandt's description of the $8500. 

If you are an Eagles fan, I suggest you should mention Lyin' Eyes for those men in pursuit of much younger women.

quote :The syntax of your sentences are all wrong,
SYNTAX IS...
REMBRANDT, THE PROVERBIAL IVY LEAGUE DIPLOMA HOLDER, DON'T VENTURE ON THE FIELD OF WHICH YOU ARE INTENSELY IGNORANT ( IT APPLIES BOTH TO THE E GRAMMAR AND SEX-TOURISM. I HOPE, BOTH OF THESE LESSONS YOU'VE LEARNT WELL).
 
 
rendering what you are trying to say incoherent. I think you are trying to insult me, but the pseudo-intellectualism is over-whelming.
IN THE LIGHT OF THE ABOVE INDISPUTABLE CORRECTION LOOKS LIKE IT REALLY IS.

If you're going to migrate and live in America,
DID 15 YEARS AGO.I AM SORRY TO SAY, BUT YOUR DIPLOMA DIDN'T SAVE YOU FROM BEING A LOSER AND A SUCKER, SOME 10 GRAND LESS, SWISS WATCH LESS, CRACKED BY THE SIGHT OF TWO RUSSIAN THUGS.
MY 10 GRAND ARE STILL IN MY ACCOUNT. SO IS MY RAIMOND WEIL ELEGANT WATCH., I AM BEING LOVED BY MY HUSBAND, MY ADULT DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY, ENJOYING THE LUXURY OF LOVING AND BEING LOVED BY A GREAT MAN, AS WELL AS RESPECT OF MY STUDENTS....WHILE, SO FAR,  IT IS YOU WHO WAS OUTSMARTED BY A RUSSIAN PROSTITUTE,  ARE A DEFAULTER, WHO LIKES TO LAY THE BLAME ON ILL FORTUNE AND ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE ONE DUMB VIDEO GAMES PLAYER WHO CANNOT WRITE A WRETCHED CODE RIGHT. 
 at least do yourself the dignity of learning the language, and spare other people their sanity so they can understand what you're saying.
EVERYTHING'S OK WITH ME AND  MY LANGUAGE ,  MY CASH IS IN PLACE, MY TRIPS AND MY LIFE ARE MOST ENJOYABLE. AS IS CLEAR FROM THE ABOVE, IT ISN'T ME WHO IS ONE WRETCHED GLOBETROTTER.

I'm sure you guys have realised by now the futility of arguing with her. She's either a dunce, stubborn or both.
DITTO
Let it die, she thinks Chomsky, Fukyama etc., were/are communist. I realised there's no hope for her after reading that sentence. She's cracked.
IT ISN'T ME WHO IS DUMBER THAN A WRETCHED PETTY RUSSIAN PROSTITUTE, ACCORDING TO YOUR ORIGINAL POST

I'm sure we would all enjoy your posts better if YOU WERE NOT SHOUTING!!

And BTW I regret inviting you to stay as what you just wrote to Rembrandt was despicable!  Congratulations, you win the &*^%$ of the year award!

Oh, and I much prefer a good whiskey to vodka or anything else you mentioned.  It's the redneck way.   

[Ludmila]

But stay with us at RWD
GATOR, THE LIST HAS BECOME BORING AND NOT STIMULATING. ALTHOUGH I DISAGREE WITH YOU "ON THE GRASP OF THE BIG PICTURE", I GUESS, YOU'RE QUITE DECENT TO CONVERSE WITH, AND MY HUSBAND COULD DOWN A SHOT OR TWO OF PUTINKA ( EXCELLENT R VODKA) WITH YOU. HIS AND YOUR BLACK CAVIAR SHALL BE MINE. :-)

BLACK CAVIAR

She is one of the Australian greatest racehorses ever - her and Phar Lap

[Boethius]

NOBODY BEATS GAYS IN RUSSIA. IT'S ONLY IN YOUR INFLAMED REDNECK MIND ... BECAUSE   FOXNEWS TELLS YOU SO. GAYS IN RUSSIA WORK, OCCUPY HIGH POSITIONS, HAVE THEIR OWN CLUBS ETC, ETC 

Really?

[Ade]

As well as being wacky to begin with, seems like Ludmila has added to her incoherence by swigging on that bottle of vodka a little too much...

[pokerintherear]

One more poster who is irrelevant in the halls of RWD. Take a break Luda

I think Rembrandt sees a big difference in his current fiancιe compared to the scammer/prostitute.


One mistake new guys in this endeavor make is not making enough phone/Skype calls to the lady they're visiting. If Rembrandt had done so, I don't think that prostitute who hangs around thugs on a regular basis could portray herself as a family oriented woman. He should have never visited her. Some guys do make enough phone calls but they ignore red flags. They have it in their mind the woman they're communicating with is looking for the same thing they are and love will solve any problems so they are reluctant to drop a woman when she displays red flags.

[fathertime]

Hey Rembrant, good luck with the lady....one thing I hope you are changing is that YOU are in charge...YOU decide what hotel you stay at.  You make all the important decisions pertaining to yourself.  Don't let yourself get led around by the snout, even in a foreign land.  Of course you can be open to suggestions, but do your own research and decide.


Ludmila may be a little wacky, but the one comment that was a bulls-eye pertaining to Russians and their vodka being equivalent to American's and their 'anti anxiety/depression drugs.  I've been shocked by the number of my seemingly normal friends/cohorts who are on meds for these issues. 


Fathertime! 

[AC]

Really?

I was really nauseated after watching most of just one of the videos you posted.  Clearly there is a huge disconnect between what the Russian laws purport to do; and what is really happening.  The disgusting violence and degradation which is actually happening does so with impunity. 

[I/O]

Russians and their vodka being equivalent to American's and their 'anti anxiety/depression drugs.

Possibly so, I don't have hard numbers from which to draw an accurate conclusion so anything we reflect is simply opinion but, assuming (dangerous thing to do) there is merit in this theory, which produces a more civilized result?

The only sweeping conclusion one can make is that most meds for treating psychological conditions are anti-depressants, typically increasing neurotransmission.   In contrast, vodka is a depressant and inhibits neurotransmission.  Thus, medically they are not equivalent and in fact near opposites. 

As far as "civilized results," most of us know the side effects of alcohol.  In moderation, alcohol can take the edge off.  More can lead to anger, aggressiveness, imbalance, incoherence, etc.

People who take anti-depressants state that it improves their thinking, enabling them to function competently.   

[I/O]

Gator - Life expectancy might be one measure?

[Ludmila]

GATOR, OBVIOUSLY NEITHER IS GOOD. BUT ANTIDEPRESSANTS ARE CORRELATED WITH SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR. DON'T SEE THAT THEY HAVE MORE CONS COMPARED WITH ALCOHOL.
ACCORDING TO "USA TODAY", MAY 23, 2014 IN THE ARTICLE "HONOR ALL OUR FALLEN BRETHREN" :SINCE 2001, THE NUMBER OF SUICIDES AMONG ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED. IN THE ARMY ALONE SUICIDES HAVE TRIPLED. IN FACT, SUICIDE, HAS BECOME THE SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH IN THE MILITARY.
THE DEPT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS ESTIMATES THAT 22 VETERANS TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES EACH DAY, THOUGH THE NUMBERS MIGHT BE SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERESTIMATED....
Big Farma may want you to believe in what you said, but  as we say in Russian "horseradish is no sweet than radish"....
 
 
 
Studies have shown that the use of antidepressants is correlated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviour and thinking (suicidality) in those aged under 25.^[89] This problem has been serious enough to warrant government intervention by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to warn of the increased risk of suicidality during antidepressant treatment.^[90] According to the FDA, the heightened risk of suicidality is within the first one to two months of treatment.^[91][92][93] The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) places the excess risk in the "early stages of treatment".^[94] A meta-analysis suggests that the relationship between antidepressant use and suicidal behavior or thoughts is age-dependent.^[89] Compared to placebo the use of antidepressants is associated with an increase in suicidal behavior or thoughts among those aged under 25 (OR=1.62)

The push came from the gay-rights group Kentucky Equality Federation, whose president, Jordan Palmer, began lobbying the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky in August 2011^[143] to prosecute after stating he had no confidence in the Harlan County Commonwealth's Attorney to act.^[144] "I think the case's notoriety may have derived in large part from the Kentucky Equality Federation efforts," said Harvey, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky.^[145] Mable Jenkins, and Alexis Jenkins plead guilty.^[145]

22 VETERANS TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES EACH DAY

What might be interesting is to examine the respective percentages of service people who survive long enough to actually become veterans.
 

ANTIDEPRESSANTS ARE CORRELATED WITH SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR. DON'T SEE THAT THEY
HAVE MORE CONS COMPARED WITH ALCOHOL.

Literally, to me, that says antidepressants are no worse than alcohol - with this I of course agree but I suspect something else is being attempted in this statement.    

[Ade]

Ludmila, you fail to take into account that depression increases the risk of suicide by quite some anyway and also that although there is debate that some antidepressants may increase the risk of suicide in some people, generally, antidepressant treatment reduces the risk of suicide and saves lives.


And Boethius never mentioned that violence towards homosexuals didn't occur anywhere else. However, it was you that said, incorrectly as it turns out (duh!), "NOBODY BEATS GAYS IN RUSSIA".   

[JayH]

As well as being wacky to begin with, seems like Ludmila has added to her incoherence by swigging on that bottle of vodka a little too much...

She is not alone in either--it seems to be a trend amongst some fsuw.
What a contrast with some of the more sensible fsuw we do hear from. I did post some time ago that guys who are still looking need to read some of the ramblings of the crazy.Can you imagine being stuck with that!!

[Boethius]

Ludmila, you fail to take into account that depression increases the risk of suicide by quite some anyway and also that although there is debate that some antidepressants may increase the risk of suicide in some people, generally, antidepressant treatment reduces the risk of suicide and saves lives.

Exactly.

And Boethius never mentioned that violence towards homosexuals didn't occur anywhere else. However, it was you that said, incorrectly as it turns out (duh!), "NOBODY BEATS GAYS IN RUSSIA".   

Precisely.  Of course violence against homosexuals occurs in the West as well.  I never stated otherwise.  However, as such neanderthals would be arrested and face hate crime prosecution in most Western countries, they don't usually post youtube videos of their crimes.  The fact Russian yobs post their nefarious deeds online suggests they are either: (a) far dumber than their Western counterparts; or (b) free to inflict violence upon their victims with little worry of legal repercussions.

[Boethius]

Boe, Yahoo!--the air freshener is unnecessary, cause american nauseating product  smells of roses, unlike Russian.

I am not "cleaning up" after anyone.  I riposte to those posts I choose to respond to. Your post was ridiculous, as anyone with even a passing knowledge of gay rights (or lack thereof) in Russia knows.  I merely pointed to its silliness.

Had you made an equally stupid assertion about something in the West that interested me (you have made some stupid assertions about America, but I have not bothered "going there"), I would have riposted to that, as well.  But I don't expect you to understand that, as you retain a sovok mentality.

BTW, you forgot the most infamous case in your list - Matthew Shepherd.

[CDW]

Ludmila

You wrote lists of death of gay/transgender, so where is the death list of STRAIGHT people ????  I am pretty sure the lists would be hundreds times bigger
