Does a RW need to speak good English, I think not.

[PeeWee]

Speaking of harsh, get this. A couple of days ago Lena emailed me telling me that the agency wanted me to send to her the money for the tour via Western Union because the cash was more convient for them. She would then pay the agency for the tour. I have not yet met this lady so....RED FLAG! I sent an email back to her that said, "No way. It's paid by Visa or no tour." I was that blunt about it. Today the visa is apparently ok with the agency. No fricking way that I am sending cash to anywhere in Russia...not even to Rootin Tootin and Lootin' Putin himself!

Another driverless car.

I have 3 cars, Andrew, the best one being a BMW. You drive a Yugo, at best, if you have a car at all. I figure that I am not only richer than you are, but I live in the most powerful country in the world, while you live in a third world nation. I am smarter, better looking, and better educated than  your...so what do I care if I have a chauffer driving my car or you have yourself driving your bicycle. Im matters not.

Like it or not, English IS the #1 language worldwide.

No problem with this... yes, English is the number one in the world but not everybody know it... for me, all will be more easy if everybody on these planet was speaking the same language and english is really a potential candidat to universal language... maybe it will become true in 100 years...

When i think that God is responsible for these language barrier between people ( remember the babel tower in the bible )

Bragging like that you appear the poster child for the ugly, ignorant American.  

It amazes me that you feel qualified to give advice.

Hey listen to the expert who plans a first meeting in Prague.  RWLMAO

Since you didn't understand Andrew's comment I have to wonder.

It looks to me like Peewee may have more dollars than sense.

I don't think a first meeting in Prague would be a wise choice for most of us in a usual situation, however I have seen people do things like that with success.   I believe TigerPaws had all his first meetings in the Bahamas.   He had a lot of success with that technique.  A lot of fun too I think.

I think in PeeWees case he feels he has a lot of chemistry already established.  He may find he wasted a lot of money on a stupid choice or he may have a wonderful trip to Prague.  My guess is the latter.  Hopefully we will find out.   If he chooses to do it that way, it is his choice.  If he suggests to a newby that they do it that way that is another story. 

A comment like PeeWees out of the blue would be in poor taste.  Andrewfin can be a little nasty with his comments sometimes.   For me I have no problem realizing it was in response to what Andrewfin said.

Is this a variant of your pickup-line?  Replaced the name of your PenPal with 'Andrew'?

Do her a favor and at least follow the sage advice about 'being yourself' on your trip.. Show your 'true colors' as you do here. She may not be into fiction. 

Turbo,

I fell off my chair reading your last post.. is almost a cut and paste from your posts in previous PG threads.  If PeeWee were a woman I would understand, shake my head and maybe think 'poor guy is just pu$$ywhipped..'.  Your white knight support for lost causes really puzzles me..

If one accepts the 'Walk like a duck, talk like a duck' theory PeeWee is as 'newbie' as one can get.

True, Andrew is sniping and flaming and if he continues in his ways I will bury him. Otherwise we get along great, we share some information, and have a few laughs. He forgot that we here in America do not take crap from those who live in small countries.

With regard to Prauge. I am going on vacation. This is a much better choice than to spend it holed up in some small Russian villiage where the daytime temp now exceeds 40C and without AC. Why not relax and get to know someone rather than be stressed and hot and trying to get to know someone? Makes sense to me.

May not be an ignorant American Leslie but certainly an arrogant one. You pasty Limeys should know that! It makes no difference where I meet someone. I am going on vacation to enjoy myself, not to make myself miserable holed up in some small hotel in Bumphuck, Russia. Not so stupid when you look at it that way, Limey.

I am from a little country too... my little country ( Belgium ) with two other little ( Luxemburg, Holland ) have create what you don't like today, the Europe Union... If you don't like little country, stay in USA... Why go to Prague, in a other little country...

This will be like a holiday... You will not be able to see her interact in her usual way, you will not be able to meet friend and family... Make sence to me that you will have a holiday love and usually so love don't last after the holiday... A advice, Russian women are very proud of her home country, so keep your superiority complex at home in USA or you will fail directly.

[Son of Clyde]

I am one quarter Limey, one quarter German and one half Italian. I like Andrew and Ste fine and could maybe grow to like Leslie if he were not so rigid in his thoughts.  People who hold grudges and are judgemental have no place in my life.  Leslie has let me know he has me on ignore and that he knows I hate him. I have no one on ignore, I think it is rather childish to even consider ignoring anyone. You can just skim over their posts. And how can you hate anyone you have never met? I could hate Hitler or Stalin for the things they did and no one on the board comes even close to the evil of those two.

BC I am not sure of. Seems like an ok guy much of the time and he lives in Italy which can't be too bad.

The problem in this place is too much testosterone and flaring tempers.

We all share one commonality, the elusive RW.

[jb]

A true statement.

Peewee

So,,,, I guess we can say you are arrogant in your ignorance.

TFF    :D

[Jack]

...."True, Andrew is sniping and flaming and if he continues in his ways I will bury him....."

I don't know Pee Wee. When it comes to knowledge, experience about and with Russian women and the pursuit for a Russian bride, if I was a betting man I would have to bet on Andrew as to who would bury who.

[BC]

SOC,

No chip-on-shoulder or hormonal imbalance here.

I'm sure you have noticed that the other married guys around here won't hesitate to 'call the ball' as they see it, a trait that also seems quite prevalent among FSU folk.  I'm quite sure your wife doesn't 'beat around the bush' which IMHO is an admirable attitude to have in this PC world.  You will learn to appreciate it..  maybe even acquire the taste yourself.

Anyone that has difficulty taking this forum in-stride will likely have great difficulties with a woman from FSU.

I agree with BC 100% on this one.  Europeans may be a bit less direct and blunt than most Russians I've had the pleasure to know, but still avoid the forced niceness and political correctness that Americans seem to have programmed into them.  It is interesting to see when the facade gets dropped how truly nasty Americans can get, when protected by anonymity or feel that no one will see (hear, or read) their actions.

If you don't know where you stand with a RW, you will find out quickly enough.

[Leslie]

Well PeeWee

This is not about Americans and Brits.  

It is about the arrogant stupidity of you offering bad advice to other people.

You pretend to be a knowledgable player but the OMB's here see straight through to the gomer you really are.  There is nothing "special" about you or your situation.  The more you post the deeper you dig the hole...

If you reckon you can "bury" anyone open a thread in No Holds Barred.  Moderation can't save you there.

LOL Ya beat me to it Jack!  I've seen guys with far better debating skills crumble once Andrew gets fired up   

I am smarter, better looking, and better educated than  your...

Hmmm, your probably right about one of the three

Speaking of credibility, I figure when the sun set on the British Empire and the UK became the US' lap dogs and Tony Blair became GW's bitch that you guys lost all of your credibility with me. No one cares what you Brits say is what I mean, Looslie. I am hear more to learn than teach. Advice is what it is. Your advice, my advice is but an opinion...like azzholes, everyone has one. I give you equal status..nothing you say has any credit with me either. So we agree. Isn't that special.

Hey, I'm all for firing Andrew up. Maybe a masterdebater is a better term for it. Let's see some of your stuff, Andy!

[Maxx2]

It would be a strange girl who, having been taught English at school and university, would choose, for example, Spanish ab initio if she were practical about the matter of destination. It would also suggest something to the guy that if a woman had chosen to deal only with  the Spanish, French or whatever in marital affairs that the woman was to a fairly large degree making choice of destination before choice of man.

Sometimes Andrew posts something that is gold and this is a good example of it.

Enough already, let's bring this back on topic and get past the snippy comments and name callling.

Thank you.

I am from a little country too... my little country ( Belgium ) with two other little ( Luxemburg, Holland ) have create what you don't like today, the Europe Union... If you don't like little country, stay in USA... Why go to Prague, in a other little country...

This will be like a holiday... You will not be able to see her interact in her usual way, you will not be able to meet friend and family... Make sence to me that you will have a holiday love and usually so love don't last after the holiday...

Bruno...at this point I am not interested in meeting her friends. She has no family both mom and dad are dead and her son is now living in the US. No point in going to her town. None, zip, nada. This is a holiday not a look see trip. One day, if she seems worth futher consideration, I can visit her town. For now we play.

I did not say that I did not like little countries. You invented that. I do not like little dogs, maybe that's what you were thinking. I will do fine in Prague...they will love me there. Not to worry. I'll send a trip report, how's that?

Peewee,

Leslie is right, as usual.  It's not about Americans vs Brits here, it's about the lies, distortions, and exaggerations you fill these pages with.  Fully half of what you write doesn't hold water.  You may indeed work for an airline, but you don't travel the world as you boast, you're always right here.  I just can't remember a single time you were away from the board for an extended period.  I really doubt you've ever been to Russia or Ukraine, during those rare times when you are not running off at the mouth you ask questions that are far too basic, which reveals a lack of any in-depth first hand knowledge, you have shown us that you know very little about the Russian culture, I suspect what little you do know, you learned reading here.   Further, I don't recall seeing any pictures posted from any of the trips you claim to have made, and I don't think you have the balls to make a solo trip to Russia,,, you asked too many questions about group tours.  The experienced FSU traveler would never even remotely consider going on a romance tour.   You say you are planning a trip to Prague, I'm guessing this will be your first time over, and even this will be FSU Light.

I've seen things in your posts that make me believe you are a troll, I have thought so for a very long time, I suspect the other OMB's have seen through your BS as well.   Until I see proof positive to the contrary I'm just going to go on the assumption that nothing you post is real.  You have achieved zero credibility with this OMB. 

[Turboguy]

jb, I have a feeling PeeWee will not consider proving anything to you to be something that is high on his list of priorities.   I probably know a bit more about PeeWee than he knows I do.  I don't know enough to say everything he has said is true but I know enough to say that most is.   He has at least been to Moscow.  I have seen photos of him there.   When I need something to read the next time, I may just try his best selling book.  It looks pretty interesting.  From what I have seen the lifestyle he talks about is pretty much the lifestyle he leads.

I know you don't give me much more credibily than you give PeeWee but trust me.  He is reasonably for real.

[jb]

I also know quite a bit about Peewee, a goggle search of his e-mail address will point you to his website.  I also know that in his 19 month membership here he has not made a single trip.  He is a member of that 95% who write lots of letters, but don't travel.  I can also surmise that he once wrote a book, which BTW is not a best seller, (I read the best sellers, and I've never heard of Mr. Norm Harris), I also surmise he hasn't done anything since 2003.  It seems his career has gone a bit flat in the past 3 years.

He may have been to Moscow once, (I saw the picture too), but to what purpose?  His questions are those of an inexperienced newbie.

He writes about being rich, about only dating wealthy RW's who can afford to travel, etc.  Then comes right back and talks about having to put his g/f's travel tickets to Prague on his Visa Card... Huh??? If he's so rich, why does he, back in April, mention that he might be able to travel on a free ticket?  What truly rich man worries or cares about getting a free ticket if his future wife and love life depends on meeting in a foreign land?  If he's so rich, why does his son pose beside a 10+ year old Chevy?  If he's such a bigshot in JAG land, why are there no pictures with the star of the show, only bit players?

I think what we are seeing is sloppy manipulation of the facts, not the real truth.  I don't expect Peewee to post proof of anything, I've already drawn my conclusions, and I know a fraud when I see one.
