Black guy heading to Ukraine

[Makkin]

  Anna has simply stated the facts for her life and choices and I find that a very honest way to do things. I don't see her calling people names or acting anything other than honest. Should she sugar-coat things and make things appear more PC or should she continue to be polite and honest?

Please...  Try answering the question without trying to sound like an expert on how the black community will look at him or how multi cultural-multi racial relationships are "DOOMED" when they do exist.  It only makes yourself look stupid. 


The more you talk the more you sound like a racist.  Like this statement is suppose to offend me?  HAHAHAHA...try again.

I would prefer to kiss black ass over your racist white ass any day. 




Thomas

If I wanted to marry only a long legged redhead would that make me racist? If I wanted to marry a freckled gal with an Irish accent would that make me racist?
If I wanted to marry a woman (as opposed to a man) would that make me homophobic?

No it doesn't mean any of those things. I gave my opinion, others gave theirs, you gave yours. I am not kissing anyones butt. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and
if it is different than yours or not politically correct enough for your sensibilities you
can call them a racist or a butt kisser?

I agree that saying a relationship is doomed is a little strong but that is her opinion. RW are not known (at least the ones that I have met) for either their political correctness or their timidness when giving an opinion.

Now don't consider this as an attack on you personally and by all means I encourage you to debate your opinions, your arguments, etc.

One other note. The reason that nobody would think that Anastasia Ash is a "mail order bride" is because she has NO accent that I could determine when I have heard her speak. If I didn't know that she was born in Russia I would assume she was born here in the US. I think that's why you got the hahaha before. Her spoken English is flawless and without an accent.


Just my two kopecks,

[chivo]

Did you want me to say?"Yes, of course, it doesn't matter what color of your skin is, your chances are the same as white men's" - while in reality I married a white man and will never consider marrying half or quarter black/white/mulatto/mexican.... THAT would have been a pretence on my part. Very few RW even consider dating black men.

So what's your point? That's your choice and wish. Will he have more trouble finding a woman?...personally I think if he's patient, he'll find what he's looking for, and no it's not all doom and gloom as you might suggest. He is, after all, only looking for one.

I also get a little tired of this woman and her 'i'm white Christian, I vote for McCain, I married the guy I want/deserve, I live in Pittsburgh (oh now there's the hub of the world  ) blah, blah, blah, etc., BS too", not to mention the cookie cutter advice.

And while I'm sure you're a nice lady who wishes only the best for people, and has helped many others, like I said, your advice to me anyway, always seems...to be too much from a personal point of view. OK for you, but not always right for the individual.

Personally, since we're talking about getting it from the horse's mouth so to speak (RW), I find Blues Fairy's posts and overall words and advice to be much more mainstream, less pretentious, and much better presented.

I'm sure if we met and you gave me advice I would never be dating the women I do according to your "expertise". I wonder what you would have advised me about moving here as well under the circumstances? I seriously doubt that you would have had a positive view of it, yet it has far exceeded my expectations.

I happen to be half Mexican/half Irish. Most people in these parts think I'm a) Mexican, b) from the Caucasus, and we all know how excited RW are at marrying/dating these guys  c) Italian, or d) Spanish.

I've been living in Moscow for 4 years now and have dated many, many women here. Last time I checked, they were all Russians, and since we're being truthful here, most are prettier than you judging by your picture. I mean, it's just my opinion, what do you want me to say, a lie?   

I'm at the point where it's very difficult juggling all of them. Some (as been said here that RW are very direct) have actually asked me to move in together, or outright marry them. Let me go on further to say I'm not some great looking guy, although I'm not ugly either.

I'm also only 5'7" on a good day and into my 40's. Most of the women I date are in their 20's, some taller than me, and believe me when I tell you that I could have many more even younger and taller, but I do have my limits. I also prefer blonds only to suggest that it's what I date mostly, and to illustrate the point of racism, in case anyone is interested  . Most were born and raised in Moscow, but not all.

Now you like tall white men, and you found what you were looking for. You wouldn't even look twice at me judging by other previous posts I've read of yours. Does that mean no one else will date me, much less marry me? Please.

Point is to the OP is that you will attract women if you're confident, personable (funny & charming), clean and somewhat attractive, educated, and stable (among many other things).

Racism is everywhere (Chicago and Boston come to mind where there is as much racism or more than I've seen here in Moscow BTW), and really the men here are much worse about it than the women from my experience, and I live here...does that count for the "other" experts on this board.

People tend to prejudge more on a group basis than individually, which is why anyone who is worthy of a RW will find one regardless of his background.

Yes, TW, you do have your work cut out for you trying to get a women from here to marry you, that's for sure. But, tell me who has come here and had an easy time of it? In life we should go for what we want, and usually we get what we deserve. I'm sure our dear Ms. Ash would at least agree to that. Good luck.

Hi Scott,

  In answer to your question YES and also Montana and Idaho. Funny how you always ask if someone has any experience that equals yours..lol As if you have the superior qualification M8..lol

  St. George ring a bell? College town of sorts and also a nice place to LIVE..lol Any other questions? Like would you want to know what years and how long I've been in Utah during my life?

  Once I worked for three straight summers in Utah with relatives and such. Am I qualified yet..lol I know you would do more than just ask and make a statement after I give you info that you asked for and go for it Scott...lol

Makkin

Good Lord, Makkin, I ask you a simple question and you begin to make assumptions and launch into a defensive attack.  The reason I ask is that there are not a whole lot of people who have spent any amount of time in Utah other than for skiing and I thought it might be nice to share some views and/or experiences.  Are yoiu so averse to a friendly conversation?

[LiveFromUkraine]

If I wanted to marry only a long legged redhead would that make me racist? If I wanted to marry a freckled gal with an Irish accent would that make me racist?

Bill, it isn't about what type of look you are attracted to.  I have no problem with people only dating whom they are attracted to.  Please reread her posts Bill.  She is making comments about "at least my ass is white, I am sure you like black asses" which is becoming more and more racist imo.

I have seen a lot of men kissing her ass on this forum.  I think it is funny and sad all at the same time.  I am stating my opinion as well.  I don't know how much time Ms. Race has been spending in Russia.  I do know the less time she is spending the less she knows about the attitudes of women there.  I would take Chivos' post with more weight since he is living there day in and day out.  Much like I am in Ukraine.

Bill, she is only one RW, can never speak for all RW and will never know what all RW think.   It seems like she is stepping outside of her expertise here.  She can comment on how she feels and what her peers tend to think.  But saying some of the things like black communities will not accept, the relationships are all doomed is a little over the top.  She knows it all now which is probably the result of guys blowing smoke up her ass.  Of course this is my opinion.    Yes I know what you will say next Ms. Ash.  At least they are blowing smoke up your white ass.

Bill

Well, if you were to say that all long legged redheads will only date tall, blonde, blue-eyed guys, because they would never consider dating "those" people, then I would have to say that would have racist undertones IMHO. That is different from stating your preferences. However, if you were to imply that your preferences are better because they are somehow superior people because of their physical attributes to the ones you don't want to date, then you would be entering into potentially racist territory.

Why would a Black guy travel all the way to ukraine when he could find himself a black woman in Jamaica, dominican Republic or any of those islands. If the black guy wants to travel further then Lodon would be his best option-there are plenty of Black women there.

Why would anyone post such nonsense as their first post?

He doesn't want a black woman.  He isn't attracted to black women.  Why don't you go to Jamaica and marry a black woman?



Thomas

[mspanky]

 Silly statement indeed.

 It's like saying if a white guy wants a white RW or any white woman he can find plenty in the U.S. Why travel.

 As for Ana, it never ceases to amaze em that she thinks "everyone" has her taste in men. Ana, everyone is different. I know a Czech girl here in the U.S. who is amazingly gorgeous and yet she'll only date black men. She's only been to the U.S. for 6 years and is illegal. I'm sure she would have had an easy time getting married to a white man to make her legal, but she will only date black men. So she's still waiting for a proposal. Last I heard she's "pregnant" and hopes her boyfriend will now marry her. Different strokes for different folks.

  Hey, I love all types of girls. But I am not attracted to fat ones . Does that mean all white American men don't want fat women? No, there are plenty who do. I'm just not one of them.

Jeezus.... more sanctimonious bullshyt. Anastassia gave her opinion and then her preferences and so now in your narrow minded POV she is a racist. Such a little man with such a little mind. If her or anyone else's opinion doesn't march lock step with yours you hurl insults and they are automatically racist. It's a shame the world doesn't stop and let you on.

Scott,

  I am sorry for acting in that manner but if you look at your history in writing here and look at how you worded the question etc... it seemed to follow the same line as many others of your posts that have a confrontational nature.

  I really apologize to you M8 and hope that you understand I'm not the argument type actually.

  A friend of mine is similar to you in that she has just finished medical school at age 35 and cannot decide if she wants to head back to Utah from Texas. She is very interested in going into the Air Force and as you may know the military has special places there in Utah to traiin..etc..
  Utah is great in my book....Never had a single problem and feel very safe there. The size of Utah seems to be similar to Ukraine and there is a decent size Mormon population but nothing near California. Most people think there are more Mormons in Utah than Claifornia but thats not true.

  Sorry about my behavior Scott.

Yikes! :hairraising:

Looks like y'all are losing a bit of perspective.

A question was asked, and it was answered - and answered - and answered some more.

Now we seem to be veering off into some quasi-racial, quasi-political, quasi-ImNotSureWhat sort of argument.

Let's all take a step back and try to regain some perspective.

While at it, please take a moment to read (and re-read, if necessary) the RWD Guidelines for Civil Discourse -- http://www.russianwomendiscussion.com/index.php?topic=7223.0

No offense intented.  I guess I need to lighten up the questions a bit.  Lots of great things to do in Utah, but even tghough I grew up here, I prefer California for a nbumber of reasons.  But each to his own.  St. Grorge is a great place.  My mother lives there now and we visit often, but I liked it much better when it was a sleepy community of around 10,000.

Contrary to the popular myth, which I also believed until shown statistics to the contrary, Utah has over wtice the Mormon population of California.  I pulled the stats from the official site and it shows Utah with 1,789,707 and CA with 750,024.  There has been a significant drop in the Utah LDS population in recent years as those of other religions discover its assets, and that is a good thing in my opinion.  Maybe not good for McCain, but he'll still get probably over 80% of the vote.

[Makkin]

Scott,

  I would gladly stand corrected if in fact there were more mormons in Utah than in California. Many Mormons have moved to Ca but I need to look the stats up.

  One of my most memorable experiences at a hotel in Montana was when myself and my wife stayed the night and it was summer and such so we decided to go swimming..lol We passed the pool a few times and it looked fine and was large enough for many people so we got into our clothes and such and went to the pool. To our surprise as well as delight the pool was full with about 40-50 children who were having the time of there lives and we looked and then looked at each other again and found a few chairs to sit in..lol We talked and watched the children play and had no intention of getting into the water because they had found a happy and laughing ryme to it all that sort of spelled a million words without using any words..lol Twas truly a fine experience to watch that many children having that much fun in that one pool. YES...they were all Mormons NO DOUBT.

Thomas, I didn't say they do not exist, I meant there are very few of them, and the chances for a black guy to marry and live forever happy with a white RW are slimmer than of a white American man. In my eyes it is close to 0.0001%. And as you and others said it hundred of times - it is MY opinion.

The more you talk the more you sound like a racist.  Like this statement is suppose to offend me?  HAHAHAHA...try again.

Thomas

Just for voicing my opinion i deserve to be called a racist?! Then logically you should think that TW1970's 'preference' in white women, specifically Russian, is some form of racism too, right? Why doesn't he prefer dating Chinese, Mexican or Malaysian or other women? Why isn't his not being attracted to black women considered to be racism in your mind? He said it himself that he is not attracted to black women. Why? What's wrong with the black color? I am sure there are many educated and very beautiful and curvaceous black women around. Or mulatto women?

I also get a little tired of this woman and her 'i'm white Christian, I vote for McCain, I married the guy I want/deserve, I live in Pittsburgh (oh now there's the hub of the world  ) blah, blah, blah, etc., BS too", not to mention the cookie cutter advice.

Ignore button is always at your disposal, if you got really tired of me and my views. It's interesting to read how people delight in twisting my meaning just with a slightly different tone in their voice 

And while I'm sure you're a nice lady who wishes only the best for people, and has helped many others, like I said, your advice to me anyway, always seems...to be too much from a personal point of view. OK for you, but not always right for the individual.

Of course i always give my personal point of view, it can be both general and for the individual. If TW1970 wrote me directly and told me much more information about himself and if i saw his pictures, I would certainly give him my opinion on some exact things and his exact situation. I am sure it would be slightly different. Here were are discussing a black man finding a white RW.

Now you like tall white men, and you found what you were looking for. You wouldn't even look twice at me judging by other previous posts I've read of yours. Does that mean no one else will date me, much less marry me? Please.

You are right, you are too short for me. And Irish/Mexican mixture is too highly explosive for me.  But you are absolutely right, that doesn't mean you won't be popular and i am very very happy for your options and relationships.

Racism is everywhere (Chicago and Boston come to mind where there is as much racism or more than I've seen here in Moscow BTW), and really the men here are much worse about it than the women from my experience, and I live here...does that count for the "other" experts on this board.

Awesome, why don't you start advising men on this board regularly, you are on the 'turf', aren't you, you must know so much more than a native RW!

People tend to prejudge more on a group basis than individually, which is why anyone who is worthy of a RW will find one regardless of his background.

Anyone who is worthy of a RW will find 10 scammers very quick regardless of his background. 

Yes, TW, you do have your work cut out for you trying to get a women from here to marry you, that's for sure.

What kind of 'work' is that?  He has the same chances as any other man, doesn't he? So there shouldn't be any worries or 'work'. Just enjoyment and lots and lots of FUN! Especially going shopping for some jewelry or better yet Iphones for his Russian women. Chivo, he is going to spoil your pool over there! 

But, tell me who has come here and had an easy time of it?

Chivo, everybody goes over there to do sightseeing, have lots of fun and entertainment with the most beautiful women in the world and flush their money, the more the better, you haven't heard about that?

In life we should go for what we want, and usually we get what we deserve. I'm sure our dear Ms. Ash would at least agree to that.

OH! At least you got this one right. You gave me some hope there. But here is another little notch for you to ponder - In life we should go for what God wants us to have or to be, if we do that we will totally deserve that, because if we follow God, He will give us  the absolute best!
I am sure you would be tired of this idea though, but I couldn't help still stirring your mind a little bit more. 

[AnastassiaAsh]

I would take Chivos' post with more weight since he is living there day in and day out.  Much like I am in Ukraine.

Well, you must know pretty well then about infamouse Ukrainian nationalistic views too, much worse than Russians...TW1970 is going into the depths of fire!

He doesn't want a black woman.  He isn't attracted to black women.  Why don't you go to Jamaica and marry a black woman?

Why isn't he? He is half black, isn't he? Thomas, why don't you marry a black woman?

Of course i understand that everybody has their tastes, but when it comes to mixing races and religions - it is too close to 'disaster', again there are exceptions. The Czech girl you are telling about is so deep in troubles... and you are saying this is an example to follow or what? Illegal and pregnant out of marriage!!  If she loves her situation then everything is cool, but do you want many RW to have the same fate like her?!  The saddest thing is that many RW who are here are already in such horrible situations. Who is going to get them out of this now?

Hey, I love all types of girls. But I am not attracted to fat ones . Does that mean all white American men don't want fat women? No, there are plenty who do. I'm just not one of them.

Why aren't  you one of them? How many American men are really there who want fat women? I yet have to meet at least one of them! Isn't it how it all started any way? AM sick of fat masculine AW and wanting to date beautiful RW?

One other note. The reason that nobody would think that Anastasia Ash is a "mail order bride" is because she has NO accent that I could determine when I have heard her speak.

Why isn't he? He is half black, isn't he? Thomas, why don't you marry a black woman?

I would had if I fell in love with a black woman.  As of right now my wife wouldn't care too much if I married another woman.  I really think you have no idea what you are even writing anymore which makes this conversation a waste of time.


So how long have you lived in Russia?  Funny how things change which makes Chivo's post even more enlightening over a woman whom it seems haven't lived there in quite awhile.  I guess you need to look like an expert so you can milk your customers.

Thomas, the only thing you proved in this thread is how much you like to insult me and others. It is your posts that lack logic and sense and full of venom and some empty remarks. It is you who says one thing but does another. Why didn't you fall in love with a black woman? Couldn't find her? Where is your loyalty and love towards all races? It's been MY waste of time of going down to your petty level. It must be the environment you are living in the Ukraine that made you like that. 
You said you are Christian but at the same time you said that God is not required in this and that your vows were to your wife alone....You are totally confused and brought confusion into this thread too. Why are you staying in Ukraine? Can't find a decent job in the US? Or is it that your wife doesn't want to deal with the move and what it brings?

I see your prejudice goes beyond race and is extended to Ukraine as well.  It doesn't suprise me.  I think I am entitled to my opinion just as you are.  Why didn't I fall in love with a black woman?  There is a logical question there.  That makes no sense.  I met my wife and no other woman exists.  Why didn't you fall in love with someone else?

I can see your holier than thou Moscow attitude in most of your posts in this thread hence my statements and opinions.   It seems others have voiced similar attitudes to you in this thread.

I have my own faith and unlike you do not condemn people that don't think like me.  I will voice my opinion regarding their statements just like many on here including yourself.  I am not confused in the slightest.  I don't need any church to tell me how I should think or feel towards God.  Time and time again when someone preaches to me how religious they are the more they are not to be trusted.

I have found that working for myself to be more profitable and gratifying then working for someone else.  Why would I want a job or need one? 

We are almost ready to move to the states.  The final interview is set this month and then we are out of Ukraine.  We would have been in the US sooner but decided to spend 3 months visiting Goa, India for some sun, beach and beers.  Tough life I know but someone has to do it.


Thanks for your concern about me.  I think I will be alright.

The logical question would be not someone else but a black man. Why didn't I fall in love with a black man... I didn't because I was looking only among white men.

I can see your holier than though Moscow attitude in most of your posts in this thread hence my statements and opinions.   It seems others have voiced similar attitudes to you in this thread.

You are right, I am not a village girl who is narrow minded, tends to be passive, agrees with everything, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and considers ANY man to be a suitable husband...

I have my own faith and unlike you do not condemn people that don't think like me.  I will voice my opinion regarding their statements just like many on here including yourself.  I am not confused in the slightest.  I don't need any church to tell me how I should think or feel towards God.  Time and time again when someone preaches to me how religious they are the more they are not to be trusted.

What kind of faith is your own? What is it called? Nobody needs to go to church, it is just a building, everybody can pray or have the relationship with God at any place or his own place. I am not preaching to you, I am just trying to point out some things to you that do not match up. You have to trust yourself first of all, for that you need to get your faith/values in order and that requires some searching and self-exploring. It doesn't matter what I or anybody says, you have to do it yourself for yourself.

I have found that working for myself to be more profitable and gratifying then working for someone else.  Why would I want a job or need one? 
We are almost ready to move to the states.  The final interview is set this month and then we are out of Ukraine.  We would have been in the US sooner but decided to spend 3 months visiting Goa, India for some sun, beach and beers.  Tough life I know but someone has to do it.
Thanks for your concern about me.  I think I will be alright.

I don't like working for somebody else either. At the end of this week we are going to Vancouver, BC. Have you stayed in the Four Seasons hotel? It is absolutely breathtaking, isn't?  I haven't been to India, my mom was there though. Would be awesome to see Taj Mahal one day. 

Glad to hear about your great plans. Good luck at the interview and wishing you a great and prosperous life wherever you are.
