This site was recommended by PeeWee, a friend in my aviation hobby and it looks like you guys have lots of great info here!

I dated a Russian woman for 4 years in Kaliningrad, Russia.  After 3 years we decided to marry, it took me another year to get her a fiancé visa, once she had it in hand, she would not leave Russia!

This was a year ago, for the last year, I have corresponded with many Russian/Ukrainian woman and most all have been scammers!  I can't seem to find any 'real' woman who have true intentions...

They all seem real at first, but many only want money, none seem to have a phone or can even get access to one which I know is a bunch of bull...

Anyway, that is my story in brief, I'm still hopeful and looking!

Now to start reading all the info here.......

Welcome Todd,

Do lots of reading here. Russian women (RW) are defenitely real and many sincere. I guess you been looking in all the wrong places to encounter so many scammers.

Welcome Todd

I am also a newcomer to this site.  And I have also run across my share of scaming woman.  Just like you I had a girlfriend in Russia and when it came down to leaving she pulled the plug.  I think her mother sandbaged me with her ex-boyfriend.  That is one of the 10 different stories I got from my friends over there.

If your interested in going back and trying again, I suggest that you go over as an English teacher.  It cut the odds a bit, you meet women that know at least a little English, and you can meet them in a situation that is a little more suitable.  It really cuts out most of the scamming women.  If you're there teaching it will show them that yolu are a working man.  Less likely to find a woman looking only for money.  You can also cut you travel cost down to just airfare and visa in most cases.  I wrote a book about it, you can find it on my site in my profile.

Let me know if I can help.  I have several friends over there.

Hi PeeWee, hi Will,

I'm new here too. Never done online dating, but whatever they say, life ain't that bad.

Will's right, finding a match overseas isn't like importing a car. You have to go looking!
