Well let's see.  We started off trying to decide if an FSU woman can adapt to life in rural America.   Now we have decided if she won't paint her face the right color and fetch beer for us during the game we don't want her anyway.   That is real progress.


He is getting me back for calling him Turbogay because jb called him a homo.  :-*

Yes, I think I missed jb's post or more likely just about half read it.  jb says some good stuff but sometimes when he starts acting like a spoiled 2 year old complete with temper tantrums and hissey fits as well as the childish name calling you just can't take what he is saying very seriously and tend to just scan over it.   Even when it is pointed at you, you just sorta let it go in one ear and out the other as if you were dealing with a child.  It is a shame to see so many good ideas, good logic and good thoughts lost in the presentation of them.   Good ideas should be clear, consise and to the point.  Sorry to go off topic.  I think we were once talking about ranches and horses and mules.  So much for "to the point"

Well that kinda did get turned into "Lions and Steelers and Bears,,,,, Oh my"  I think that still counts in the Transition process to American life.  Whether or not you live in the city or country,,,, Football is high on a lot of our priorities.

Yes, football is high.  I think it depends a little on where you are.  I think Steeler fans are about the most dedicated.   If you don't follow the Steelers here you could not carry on a conversation. 

The away games I have been to, even in KC when we were not in contention had about as much black and gold as the home team colors.

In contrast last year I went to the preseason game in Atlanta with the Ravens.  The people I was meeting kept me waiting at the gate for an hour.   I happened to notice there were no Raven fans.  In one hour I saw two people wearing Ravens shirts or hats etc.  Had that been a game with the Steelers it would have looked like the game was being played in Pittsburgh with all the shirts and towels.

Well in a way you did not go off topic because you have basicly called jb a horse's ass. And we were talking about horses and donkeys, or asses. I guess that I have been forum lurking for enough years that I then to ignore the labeling. I read it, laugh at it, and then fire some of their own medicine back at them and then forget about it.

LOL,  Yes I thought about a similar comment but decided I would stop where I was at.  Yes, I think it helps if you can learn not to take any of this too seriously.

I don't know what got into JB Friday night.  Hmmm...spoiled 2 yr. old fits the facts.

I think he got himself into trouble by posting in the FAQ Sex with Russian Women section.  He had asked me to write for it, which I did.  But I suggested that men should use condoms because most FSU girls don't. 

SEX AND THE FSU WOMANMost FSU girls do not use birth control.  As a man, it's up to you to bring something and use it.  Sure, the sex is not as good.  But you don't want her pregnant and you don't want AIDS or STD.  So use protection, even though she will not ask you to.

JB responded that sex in the FSU was pretty safe and it was low risk for infection.  Sohkay came back and challenged JB strongly on such a statement, and JB went on a temper tangent!

He then pulled a quote from me from the vasectomy section where i had argued that there were positive reasons for a man to have a vasectomy (I listed protection for health reasons if your wife was not suppose to get pregnant, and not having to use a condom anymore).  Mind you, this was in response to vasectomy in marriage.

But JB pulled half that quote and placed it in the FAQ sex section, saying how could I call for condoms on one hand but then say men should get a vasectomy on the other hand and not use condoms.  When I pointed out that quote was referring to sex with your wife, and not to a dating situation, JB went on a 2 hour rampage, ranting and raving and threatening people on several threads.  That's when I became a homo according to JB, along with someone else (Turbo or PeeWee?)

Bottom line....he knew he was wrong on the unprotected sex issue and tried to shift the issue, using incorrect information.  Those of you who read here a lot know where he got that model from...initials KR.

I think i read that JB's wife had been gone and was returning this weekend.  With her back, perhaps he'll tame down some.  From all posts, she seems like a class act.  I'll say that here, and contrast that to JBs slamming of my fiancee during his Friday night rampage...

I think the comment that sex is pretty safe in the FSU might have been true 10 years ago but I think it is on its way to being a risky and maybe someday riskier than sex here or in other places.  Aids and STD's are growing at one of the fastest rates in the world and there doesn't seem to be much of a trent to try to curb it.   

As far as the jb part, I had thought jb had been calming down a bit until that last mellee.  Yes, I think you and I and peewee were all accused of being queers.   I am still not even sure if I saw that post.  I guess I should go look at it.  I am trying to think way back.  I sorta remember ages ago someone making the comment jokingly that all there was in Texas was steers and queers and him going totally ballistic in response.   It has been a long time for someone with such a short memory to remember that for sure.   Maybe back in the first PG thread??

I don't remember well enough to say for sure but hopefully if he can dish it out he can take it  So far I just see dish it out.

Sorry for that last to the last post....

I came back to delete it, but will instead just say I've calmed down since then by following the advice I posted on page one of this thread...

...whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.  ...and the God of peace will be with you.

So I'm focusing on good things now, and not those negative, untrue and hurtful attacks.  But even in that Friday night melee by JB, there is some good. 

I'll write about that now and get us back on track or on thread for this strand.

But first, the positive of what I learned.  I learned that personal attacks are unfair and unnecessary.  Yes, it did bother me when he attacked my fiancee and our marriage engagement with his "sexcapade" comment. Personal attacks hurt. He doesn't know her and how good and sweet she is.  She did not deserve such treatment.  But now I see better how Clyde and Turbo and Photo feel.  Their girls, and their relationships, took a lot of flak here.  So now I see how it feels, and it's not good.

The other good is that JBs attacks on Will and Oklahoma have opened up a new thread here and opened up some eyes to places where men can find a good, wholesome wife as we look at rural parts of the FSU and move away from places like Moscow and Kiev.

Totally back on topic now, I have had a great opportunity to travel Ukraine the last few years.  I traveled by car and by train and by plane.  I found beautiful country, with rich farmland and mighty rivers.  And beautiful girls everywhere...

Parts of Ukraine remind me very strongly of Nebraska.  Another part reminded me of Oklahoma, Will. And I can also say that an old girlfriend from Kharkov took me deep into the country toward the Russian border, to her grandfather's farm and his horses.  She rode bareback, with just a piece of leather as a bridle.  It was a new experience for me!  But my horse followed her horse, so it all worked out ok  :)

That night, I had country cooking just like the old south.  Once again, there are a lot of similarities between Ukraine and our American breadbasket.  So i have to question the idea expressed by JB that an FSU girl will not want to come to rural Oklahoma. The right girl will, WILL.  Even the big city Kharkov girl would. 

Now that's an idea!  Hey Will, want her phone number?  :)

Thanks Michel for the offer of the phone number, and the good words.  Also thanks for bringing the thread back on track.

Actually I have been talking to a woman from Oktyabrsky that lives in Canada now.  She is 40 yrs old and we were introduced through e-mail by a friend in Russia.  We have been talking on the phone and found that we know all the same people in Oktyabrsky and both enjoy our talks about the times we were there, though not together.  She is thinking of visiting me here in July. 

She seems to like all my ideas about starting a business in Oktya.  From the way she talks and travels all over the world I am guessing that she has Money.  She has also tried to impress on me that she comes from a good family and they are well respected there.  So I guess I still have a chance to get that high quailty woman jb assured me would never come to Oklahoma. I would settle for love though.

So I think I will wait a bit on that number thanks.  But I will keep it in mind.

Thanks again

One of the most wonderful things about Russia (and the rest of the FSU) is that you can find any and every kind of woman there. Perhaps it will take a little longer to find a lady that wants to live on a horse farm but you can also get pretty damn lucky and find her the first place you look.

For every kind of lifestyle there is someone who will want it and who will thrive in it.

  On Tuesday the 20th, Elvira and I joined up with some close friends, Vitaly and Tanya, to stay overnight at their dacha. These two are a class act - doing well as business owners, and Tanya's been a programming director for many years at the local TV station. Back to the point of this thread, we discovered we had forgotten the most basic staple - Bread - so Vitaly grabbed me by the arm and off to town we went. The "town" is called Azanova and is mighty small. The one store there had a huge abacus and a
wooden box in lieu of a cash register. Outside the store I notice this stunningly gorgeous woman of about 30 walking past the window, glancing inside at us. The nearest Internet access point for her would have been a literal trainride away - we were 30 miles east of Y-O - the furthest point east I've ever been (unless you count Japan). I'm not asserting that she'd definitely enjoy country living - but there are countless women living that rural lifestyle - unapproachable via cyberspace. As she moseys along the dirt road, she's probably thinking, "gee - wouldn't life be more exciting if someone would ask me out? Someone from an exotic place like Beaver Falls?"

Hi Vaughn,  Sounds like you had a nice trip.  Actually in two weeks I will be about two time zones further east in a town about that size.    My plane will will still be climbing when it flys over Azanova.   I think that is a good suggestion though.  I think hunting in the little out of the way places stands a lot better chance of getting a real catch.   You are also right.   A gal from a place like that is going to think Beaver Falls is the bigtime.

I can't speak for Michgayangelo or Turbogay but as far as I know I don't think I be one. I had hear that AIDs was becoming a huge problem in Russia but the government was ignoring it to the extent there has been little media warning. How could there not be an AIDS problem there? The epidemic knows no boarders.

That explains it! I kept seeing posters in Travel Agent windows promoting Beaver Falls as the latest craze in hot tourist attractions for Russians....  ::)

It is probably the Falls that attracts them, just like Niagra Falls.  The funny part is probably 95% of the people who live here think the town got its name from the falls here.  Actually there was none.  The river "falls" 13 feet in elevation as it passes and that is where the name came from.  50 years after the name came, they build a hydro electric dam and now we do actully have something that looks like a falls. 

Perhaps it is the beautiful swimming lake at Brady's Run Park that brings all the tourists.   I think they are getting ready to allow swimmng again.  They stopped after our waste plant blew up and all the waste went into the lake. Humm, what is that brown stuff between your toes?

Like Beaverton, Oregon I think it is the thought of the beaver itself that draws most men to Beaver Falls. Beaver feaver or beaver heaven, as our muslim Jihad friends are led to believe. I wonder if Bin Laden has promised his boys a one way ticket to Beaver Falls should they fall in battle?

Talk about confusing names.  Beaver around here are pretty rare too.  Even though it is Beaver Falls in Beaver County and the county seat is the town of Beaver.  They were all actually named after some indian cheif named "King Beaver"   Talk about deception.  We had no falls and we had no Beaver so they call it Beaver Falls.   Makes you understand why we write fsu women and tell them we are handsome, athletic and rich.

I was actually raised in New Mexico, some what desert country, but we still went to Beaver creek and watched the submarine races.

No water, no creek, no beaver, and no submarines.... won a few races though.

Hi Everyone,

I've new to this board and the topic, but I thought that I'd mention that even though I live in the centre of London, UK (therefore, I prefer city life) I've heard that women from the FSU outside the major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev) are more friendly and down to earth, so I've been searching outside of large cities!  (They say the same thing about northern England as well the girls are more friendly, but I love London and the things I can do - plus there's a lot of work here)  What does everyone here think?

I think you will find the samething in any country.  The big city people vs the country people.  Something about the city tend to make people less interested in being social.  I would guess the number of people around them all the time.

I do know that the farther out in Russia that you get the more they are interested in Foreign people.  Less contact.  St petes and Moscow are over run with foreigners. It is nothing new to them.

Manchester (northern) girls are lovely & friendly, its just that chavette mentality that puts me off! I dated a Geordie once she was a babe but off her head!  ;D

My lady is from Togliatti, Samara. (city-ish but not like Moscow or St Pete) I heard similar things about RW city girls and my lady is a gem - and she has friends?  ;D

Just curious if anyone knows of any sites that have a good number of ladies in "out of the  way"  towns or small cities.  This is good subject as i live in beautiful mountains of  north carolina and easily drive to most any thing within 30 to 45 minutes.  jj
