Knocking on Doors....

Knocking on Doors.... STORY II

Any comments welcomed.....  Noyrt.

My father met my Mother by jumping into the back seat of her
car. Years later she said she should have kept her doors locked.
I met my first wife at a yard sale.

There are those who snatch opportunity when they see it and those
who let it slip by. There are those who have a Russian wife and there
are those who will never get close.

The latter probably being among the more fortunate in life....🤔

For the most part yes, I'd agree. That is because every couple WM/FSUW we have known or interacted with is divorced. I believe it to be 0-12 at this point (not counting the wife and I). There were so many divorces I refused to meet any more thinking maybe we were the bad luck charm. I lost contact with Ed Cocks maybe he is the exception. Maybe not, might be 0-13.

I could not in all that is holy advise a man to go seek a wife in the FSU. Even though it was the best decision of my life. Blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while I suppose and I'll take it. I'll offer any help I can but the odds from my POV say no, don't do it.

A Russian wife is certainly not for everybody.

Mine is a Soviet wife... Hardly any more available.

Basically buying an address, while in a particular city, then going to her home and knocking, or leaving a letter (outside of using an agency office for contact or to arrange first meeting.)

If someone could do this at one time [15 years ago]...I seriously doubt they could do it now. [I wonder how Noyrt ever made out?]

 I wonder how many men who marry fsuw , have a family with them , and reside in FSU end up divorced. I said it many times , finding a girl to marry is easy , many are eager to go to the west , becoming independent , and then find someone they actually care for.

Around two months ago , a girl I knew , moved in with me before us meeting , first 5 mins of being in my apartment, she got on her knees did a sexual act . She told me I am the second guy she had sex with , wanted kids many years later  . She cooked , cleaned, did everything for me . I could see a guy one day posting on here saying he found a girl a girl who loves him bla bla blah. I knew who she was, I can see it in some women I meet , from the first date you know their intentions.

Older women certainly are still available, or did you mean something else?

I woke up this thread about the idea of thinking outside the box.
I doubt putting notes on doors is the way to go but directly
meeting women and asking them out certainly works.

but directly meeting women and asking them out certainly works.

In a dozen trips, to beach resort, to ski resort, many walks around Khreshchatyk and Red Square,
parks, restaurants, occasional night clubs, etc...I probably could count on one hand ladies in my
age range (34-42) from random sightings that appeared to be possible matches.  Best one was
the lady checking me out of the 1st apartment that I rented in Kyiv.  But she was more interested
in cleaning up my mess than eyeing me.  The next guy to rent it was standing out in the hall growling.

I did send an interpreter out once to a couple of addresses I had purchased.  One of the two
resulted in a meetup.   Back around 2000, buying addresses was one of few options available.

But, its sort of like sending a photographer out with a gift to the ladies apartment.   In those days,
it would give me a casual un-glamour photo of her.  But bad for her, because she would not be at her best.

But I don't think the usual guy is looking for a Babushka. If a girl was 20 in 1991...she would be 50 now. However, I have seen photos of 50+ Russian ladies that put away many American 20 yr olds.
