Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[Jack]

I will be making a post on a current thread as to if it's possible to still find stunningly beautiful women with agencies help.  But before doing that I wanted to post my thoughts (and experience) about beauty as it relates to the beautiful women of Russia, Ukraine and the FSU.
 
We have all heard that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   We'll, I want to tell you that is a statement that cannot be argued or denied by even the most cynical of people.
 
I told this story a few years ago and at the risk of sounding repetitious I would like to tell it again for the many new members.
 
Back in early 1998 catalogs like Anastasia, Club Prima, Scanna, European Connections, Affection Connection, Russia's Secret, Foreign Relations, P.S. I love You International, etc, were still the best way for men to look for Russian women who interested them. By the end of 1998 things had begun to change as the internet was beginning to make big strides as to a more efficient way of finding, meeting, Russian ladies. 
 
In 1998 I was living in both Dallas and Atlanta as the 6 month consulting job I took in Atlanta was now into it's fourth year. I had just helped a man, Jim W, with his first trip to Ukraine as he went to Donestk and he had just returned. Jim, two buddies and myself were sitting around the living room coffee table discussing Jim's trip. Just so happens one of these catalogs was sitting on the coffee table. It was a new catalog company, I think Affection Connection, and the catalog was kind of small with only about 150 ladies listed.
 
Today I cannot tell you what prompted me to do this but I picked up the catalog and handed it to one of the men and told him he was stranded on a desert island and if he could have his choice of any 10 ladies from this catalog who would they be. I asked him not to tell us but to mark the ladies id number down. While he was doing this the other three of us were talking about Jim's trip.  When this guy finished I then handed the catalog to a second guy and told him the same thing and to write down the 10 ladies he would love to be stranded with on this desert island. When he finished the third guy did it and I was the last to look and make my list.
 
When I had finished with my list of ladies I knew that the other three guys had all picked 5 or 6 of the same ladies I picked. Their was no doubt, they had to, the ladies I chose were by far the most beautiful women.
 
Once I got all the guys notes together and started comparing I was shocked as to what I saw.
 
Each man had picked one woman that another man had choose. Each man picked 9 ladies that no other man had picked. Each man picked what he thought were the ten most beautiful ladies. What an eye opener this was.
 
I realized then that a woman I thought was only so-so in appearance another man could consider a beauty queen and any woman I knew to be a stunning beauty may not be a stunning beauty to other men. 
 
I have never forgot that lesson as it has always remained with me.

I dont doubt this for one second. I've probably told this story.  A friend of mine went to Kiev back a couple or three years ago to meet a girl that was posted on several sites. She's still posted by the way although her age remains the same and the pictures are somewhat misleading. Anyways I didnt find her attractive before I met her and I surely didnt find her attractive after she got all over my ass for ordering myself 2 soups instead an entree within the first 20 minutes of us meeting. Pavel knows this chick and she didnt care for him either.LOL It's because we had her figured out.

Anyways so my friend takes her to Yalta. We all go,but I was with my wifes family. She hated the car we rode to the hotel in,she hated the hotel, she hated the view,she never spoke to my wifes family. I never understood what my friend saw in her. He did say that her nostrils would flare open at  certain times and he could see the top of her head so getting to that point probably had something to do with his patience toward this lady. To make a long story short I introduce him to an extremely beautiful girl working at the front desk on his last day there. I give her his telephone number and about 3 months later she called him. He couldnt remember how she looked but was booked out on a plane within 2 days of her call. I tell him to look for the most beautiful girl he's seen in a long time at the airport when he arrives in Simferopel. He spends about 13 days with this beautiful girl and wants to start the K1 process once he arrives home. Within 3 months he was engaged to be marred to an American girl that couldnt carry the girl from Yalta's jockstrap in my opinion. Now my friend was a doctor and trust me when I tell you he can carry his on as far as  the ladies are concerned but again it just goes to show and back up what Jack says about beauty being in the eye of the beholder.

Be careful of women doctors around Kiev named Svetlana.

Part of our survival instinct is to select the best breeding partner, crude yes perhaps but undeniably the truth. Having said that I find most men in my circle of friends/coworkers/acquaintances are incredibly shallow in this regard and are attracted,or pretend to be, to women fitting the stereotype of whatever Hollywood is shoving down our throats as being desirable. I for one have grown incredibly weary of seeing skinny girls with no butt and silicone enhancements. I feel that by far the most attractive quality a woman can have is whatever intangibles she possesses that make you,me or Joe average attracted to her. Sex appeal is a quality unto itself,independent of any other features. My dear lady is very attractive but it is the woman within that holds my attention.

Good thread!

Even at the risk of coming off hokey I'll make this statement. I wasn't looking for just a stunningly attractive lady as I have had many of those in the past. I found it very difficult to find one with a pure heart. Sure, the initial novelty of good looks great body and mind blowing sex helps one to overlook the fallacies of the inner woman for a while, but for me it was only a while. I found it increasingly difficult to find a woman who wasn't completely self-absorbed. Eventually this lead me to seek out the pure heart ladies with stunning looks and great bodies being much less the priority. This task was just as difficult.

At 47 and being single for near 18 years I have enjoyed a plethora of women. Romantically I feel I have been down a long dusty dirt road full of pot holes and wash outs. Maybe I was just too picky I don't know but, I have always held out for the woman whom I was convinced was both beautiful on the inside and out. I found her in Russia. I'm glad many or most AM go looking for the young stunners in FSU because they overlooked a real true gem and I found her. Is she the young smokinhotkova? No, but she is truly beautiful inside and out.
