Yes, I think I have a good chance with chicks in their 20s because they are from another culture and are not as obsessed with youth as Yankees. I have no gray hair or going bald and look like most guys in their 30s. As for being Mexican, my type is probably more appealing to most European ladies than the typical Anglo male. People like you have a tendency to believe that having cotton-white skin is the best asset a human can have while being the darker one gets, the less appealing he or she looks. Don't give me the racist bull*snip* about Russians being more racist than Yankees cause there are hardly any other people on earth more racist than Yankees. Just to clear your confusion I look more like a Spaniard than a typical Mexican and I know that Russian ladies prefer the Latin look in men much more than the Anglo-Saxon type of look......just ask Anna Kournikova

You take everything someone tells out of context if you do not like the answer. My comments to you had nothing to do with racism in the USA.
Racism in the FSU is a whole new level. They do not believe in interacial dating period. One in a million ladies may give you a shot if you do not have the same skin tone as them.
This is a fact about the FSU.
You are also talking about going to Odessa. I am very familiar with Odessa. My wife is from Odessa. I know more about Odessa then any other part of the FSU. It is almost a second home to me.
On the very very rare occasion you do see someone else there who is of another race people will not have anything to do with them.
I remember my first time to Odessa. I saw a younger black man walking up the street. He looked and dressed like normal young black male in the USA. I cannot comment if he was american or not however he wore the oversized Basketball jersey, sideways cap etc...
It was the first time in my life I saw a young black male look terrified to walk up the street.
In the center of the city they have a mall. On the bottom floor is a buffet type of restaurant. My wife and I went to eat there once. The place was crowded and hard to find a seat. However we saw another young black male sitting at a table by himself. As crowded as the place was and no one could find a seat, no one would even sit at a table near him. All tables around him were empty. It gave me the impression like the guy let a nasty one go.
People would rather stand or wait on a table then sit near him.
When you write it shows very obvious you believe all the hype and fantasy that these websites tell you. It is nothing more then a way to get your money.
Think about. From every letter you open and every letter you write to a lady someone is making money. Do you honestly think with this system you will get a rejection letter from a lady?
I bet all your letters from ladys always say
"Thank you so much for your letter. I was so happy to receive it"
"Thank you so much for your attention and care"
I am sure you have heard this phrase before
"It gives me great pleasure"
On Anastasia you can be 60 years old and write to an 18 year old beauty queen supermodel and you will get the
"Thank you so much for your letter. I was so happy to receive it"
You also need to stop believing the hype that RW want much older Men.
10 years is usually the MAX for 90% of the ladies. They are not looking for Men twice their age.
All those HOT 20 year olds you are writting to that you think are truly looking for an older Man for love and marriage in reality have local boyfriends. They have their pick of local Men and honestly would prefer a local man over a foreign Man.
After your last remarks. I will say I am 150% possitive you are communicating only with Agency Translator.
Why?
You are hooked on Odessa Girls. Even Anastasia admitted they had problem with Scam Agencies from Odessa. Anastasia a few months back almost took Odessa off of their site because it was such a problem and obvious one they could not even hide from.
However considering that Odessa alone makes up 50% of their business they brushed the thought to the side and allowed it to continue.
Second.
You just admitted to writting to 20 year olds. You are 42. Believe me they are not interested. I do not care what the website told you. This is the true reality. Do you think 20 year old American Men are their customers? NO. If they put TRUE ages a lady is looking for they would make no money at all because 90% of their customers are over 40.
Anastasia has over 56,000 male customers (I know this because friend told me who has agency working with them)
These young hot 20 year old girls on average recieve 300 to 500 letters per week with a few going over 1000 letters.
(also information given to me by Anastasia agency)
You want to know why you cannot see the Men? Because it is not good for business if you knew the Men out numbered the ladies 4 to 1.
An agency gets $1.50 on every credit you spend on their ladies. On occasion some of these hot 20 year olds really do write to some Men.
I remember when talking to agencies. One lady in particular was getting over 1000 letters weekly. The girl really did write to 6 Men she found interesting.
Now you need to consider this. In a country that the average income is $200 to $250 a month. These are same people realizing the amount of money could be made on this one girl. However she only wants to write to 6 Men. Company is now tempted to write letters to the other Hundreds of men on her behalf because they do not want to miss out on that $1.50 per letter because their girl does not want to write them back.
Now the conclusion of that very lady. She married a local man. Had a baby. Divorced a year later. Is now back on Anastasia. This time as being divorced with child. Needless to say she is also with a different agency.
You need to wake up. You fell in love with the hype and fantasy painted to you. 99% of what you were told and believe is nothing more then myth and fantasy.
You even mentioned talking to 3 Women and planning to propose to one on your trip.
This alone says you believe so much in a fantasy. Even if by the very slim chance these ladies were real they would laugh in your face if you proposed during a week long trip.
Somehow I think you will not listen to anything anyone here says. It will take you to make that trip.
Do you not know that there are probably 50 to 100 other Men getting the very same letters from the same lady you are, all with the belief that you are building a relationship?
This is also told to me by agencies in Odessa.
On average winter months 3 to 5 Men come to Odessa to visit 1 lady per week.
During the summer that number grows to 5 to 10.
While you are here writting on this forum the odds are a Man right now is in Odessa for the purpose of meeting these 3 ladies you are writting to.
At this very moment that Man just finished a dinner date with the lady and realized she looked at him as if he was a complete stranger.
Last but not least.
Alot more younger ladies (early 20's) have ability to speak english or at least the basics. English classes in schools and Universities are much more common now the back in Soviet Union days.
You will also notice how very rare it is in a profile that a lady can actually speak English.
Anastasia currently has over 14,000 ladies listed on their site.
Do a search of English speaking ladies. The low number will amaze you.
There is a reason for not always letting a Man know a lady can at least speak basic English.
1. Gives agency chance to make more money from you by having an interpreter on date that you will be charged by hour to have.
2. It makes sure you do not get too close to lady or make moves on her.
3. It also helps to give the lady a way out if she wants to end the date if she is starting to feel uncomfortable being around you.
Once upon a time I considered starting one of these sites. I even had the site built. I met all these agencies because of wanting to do that business. I met so many scam agencies it is not funny with only a few honest ones. I became good friends with those owners. They are also the ones who gave me every detail to Anastasia and their business. I have even been inside the agency control panel to Anastaisa's website to see how it worked.
The information I just gave was told to me equally by all the agencies I had spoken with. Anastasia is the biggest money making site for agencies to join. All go running to Anastasia. Even HRB does not even come close in income for an agency. An agency cannot survive off of HRB alone. But agencies are making tons from Anastasia.
You can believe what you want. But trust me. With the hundreds of Men writting to the same ladies you are. It would be a miracle if even 1 actually excited them to write. These ladies are busy, they do not have time to go across town to agency. They also get enough attention from local men. But I can guarantee you these young hot 20 year olds, out of all them Men wanting to meet them are not excited about a 42 year old Spanish Man.
The agency translator is however. They are making $1.50 on your letters.
Your best bet is to start over. Stick to over 30 year olds and find a site where you are not paying per letter.
By the way. Do you not find it odd how everyday it is about 10 (Anastaisa's daily average of fake letters)new intro letters you get per day?
Interesting how every day just 10 ladies decided to go to Agency, sit behind the computer and send you a letter.

I am editing this post to add.
I stated at one time I considered starting my own site similar to Anastasia and even had the website built. My reasons for not going through with.
No matter how hard I tried to figure out a way to build a scam proof site I could not do so. I do not think it can be done when working with agencies. I personally will not build a business that involves people getting ripped off. If I cannot make a positive experience for my customers I will not do it at all.
