While some stories are easily knows (T/G's, Avman, DKMM are good recent examples), others are not.  Below is a post from a different thread.  This kind of bullet synopsis is HUGELY valuable for a newbie to develop a "value system" for finding and locating a RW.

Would others post a similar message as to their experience?  I think the final composition could make such a thread highly useful:

Michaelangelo wrote: "Briefly, my experience was...

~1 Had a pretty good hit on my first Russian girl I met though business; dated her a year and spent 4 trips with her, the longest being a month.  I learned a lot about Russian women through her, and ultimately dropped her because we fought too much and she was far to stubborn.

~2 Wrote a girl for 2 months and then met her in Turkey.  It was a fun trip, but the chemistry was not right and I did not want to live a lifetime with her.

~3 Wrote a girl for 3 months and went to see her for one week in Kharkov.  Visited her 3 more times in the next year and a half; talked daily to her on the phone; eventually dropped her for a better woman.

~ 4 RWD comes into my life; and WOVO days are over.

~5 Had a fun week in an FSU town, meeting about 15 girls.  Settled on one, but her English was too poor, so dropped her after I returned home.

~ 6 Went to meet #3; broke up with her and started a 3 month relationship with a possible scammer. Broke up with her and decided to give it one last shot.

~7 Went to Dnepr to meet 6 girls I had been writing; I liked one ok but Really liked another.  After I left, I started sms ing her and calling her and we agreed to meet in Prague 2 months later.    She was perfect.  Met again in Barcelona a month later; met Dnepr for Woman's Day; met in Paris 1 month later and got engaged; I moved to Ukraine for the summer in May; in August she came to the US.  It is now almost 2 a.m., and we are both up with food poisoning!   She is reading the newspaper and I'm here on RWD :-)

~ WARNING...every girl that I was in relationship with (more than a few dates) wanted to marry me.  Don't fall for it--wait on the best girl for you.

Without the experience of dating and meeting other girls, I would not know how special Vik is.

And he did this within his 3 weeks of vacation per year.

I was under the impression Michael had a bit more free time per annum than 3 weeks.  I know he works in academia and those guys usually have several months of down time each year.

Jb- I thought bucky was being facetious.  True-if you look at the example with Vik above, I think I spent 10 weeks with her between Oct and May.  And she complaned that was not enough... :-)

The obvious point is that Mich did not go with his first opportunity, or his second, or his third….  He was fastidious (I was facetious).  Nothing wrong with that.  However, it takes time.  And when he found his Vik, he still took time to know her to the point of understanding her. 

There are three current threads where I could post this.  I choose here because it seems tidier for now.

Few men have such luxury of time as Mich.  I do and I was as careful as Mich, to the degree that some married men here accused me of being a sugar daddy. 

Even experienced men such as Mich somehow get hooked up with women who seem so promising at first yet time proves otherwise.  It happens in America so why would it not happen in Russia with the additional complications of culture and language if not age.  Not that the first few women had evil intentions, simply a case of incompatibility or not good enough for marriage (synonym for “forever”).

If Mich had only 3 weeks he would have married Ms. Argumentative in the beginning and would have missed Ms. Vik. 

So men with just 3 weeks to do this endeavor, please do not expect that one year from now your RW will somehow be the woman you envisioned.  And she might feel the same about you.  Nevertheless, it could happen if you are really good with women and most everything you have attempted in your life has been a success.  Is this you?

[Michelangelo]

You are correct, Gator.  Three weeks in I would have married Ms. Argumentative.  It took 4 trips with her before I decided to pass.  And then to my surprise, she turned out to be better than most of the girls who followed.  But she was still Ms. Argumentative, and I'm GLAD I did not marry her.

One week wonders who are happy with their marriage are LUCKY.  But luck does not ALWAYS pan out, even luck informed with knowledge.

For example, I'm rooting for the Saints and the Colts today.   Should I bet $10,000 on them?  I might get lucky, or I might lose.

Losing $10,000. on a football game is nothing compared to losing in the game of life.

Guys, go slow.  Find more time than 3 weeks.  You'll be glad you did.

If you'd have bet on the Saints, straight up, you'd have lost the ten grand.....

As will have the romantics who base their K-1s on looks and beauty.

Women marry men hoping that they will change.  Men marry women hoping that they will not change.  Ultimately they both are wrong.

True but marrying for who each other is is more important ...
