Presentation Côme

[csm]

Hello everyone,

I'm a 39-year-old French guy currently based in sunny Malta, where I've been freelancing in IT. Life here by the Mediterranean suits my love for the outdoors : I spend my time hiking rugged trails, hitting the gym, or even scaling some local cliffs to stay fit and connected to nature.

When I'm not working or exploring, you'll find me immersed in books on philosophy, sociology, history, psychology, or the sciences : they keep my mind sharp and curious. For balance, I've been dancing Argentine tango for three years now; there's something magical about how it weaves rhythm, connection, and a touch of poetry into everyday life. As a creative outlet, I also craft natural, organic perfumes in my spare time. Blending essential oils to capture scents that bridge the rational world of logic with the sensual pull of the earth. It's my quiet way of harmonizing the abstract and the tangible.

What draws me here? I'm seeking a genuine connection with a woman who's equally passionate about growth and I thought, perhaps, Eastern women would fit better with me : someone fit and adventurous, open to learning and evolving together, with a depth that sparks real conversations. I value quiet intelligence over flash, shared hikes or philosophical debates over loud nights out, and a balanced sensuality that feels authentic rather than performative. No drama, no superficial chase : just that reciprocal spark of understanding that turns ordinary moments into something extraordinary.

Hopefully not at the wrong place this time ! I'm thinking about going to Belarus in the coming months : would it be a good location to start ? Looking forward to chatting!

Welcome CSM

Belarus is a good place if you are looking for someone athletic, their society doesn't have a lot of the excesses of the West. When I was there in 2018 a lot of the people there seemed to be into an active lifestyle, there was a marathon on one of the days I was there (around September possibly I think) in the Capital City of Minsk. The girl I met in question was into exercising before work on her cycle, etc and also the theatre.

She had a bit of a beef about me not being athletic lol even though I was just a general average build and six foot tall. She was neatly turned out, no tattoos. I don't know if the younger girls out there are going in for tattoos like sone of the Ukrainian girls are, it never used to be a thing but profiles with it on can be frequently found for Ukraine.

In terms of dating site I would use Fdate - fdating.com

It's a free site and everyone does their own profile.

With Belarus you'll be paying more for flights as you'll have to go to Istanbul, or possibly a flight through Serbia etc as a result of EU sanctions on the country.

I think with what you want while Belarus women are often grounded and good marriage material you may not get an exact fit on all counts but I think something pretty close is achievable. For what you want I think Belarus is likely a very good choice as a location to look for that.

Remember to stay out of politics and discussion of politics while you are out there. Avoid offending authorities and make the main focus dating. I suffered no issue when doing this out there and Belarus society seemed a pretty safe and reasonable society to me.

I would read these threads first
The ten commandments

How to get started
http://www.russianwomendiscussion.com/index.php?topic=14615.0

Skip to post 20 or so because the information on which websites to use goes
stale pretty quickly. As you have questions come back here to ask them.

Udachi!

Thank you ! The website looks very oldish ! Are you sure it's reliable ?

Anyway my goal is more to go there in person and meet people either naturally or from apps when I will be there (like maybe Poland, Belarus... not sure about Russia yet).

There is no such thing as reliable when it comes to finding love online, but
the site itself isn't a scam. Do you speak Russian, Belarussian or Polish? Or
will you need to find English/French speakers.

Udachi!
