Russian Women Facts & Myths

What I have done here is given this questionnaire to guys living in Russia more than 2 years. Sorry guys, but it does NOT matter now many letters, phone calls or even trips you make here; until you have lived here, there are some things that you are blind to. I guarantee you that if you take a trip to the FSU, you will love it and the people. Try living there, your opinion will change. Maybe a little, maybe a lot. Because not everyone has the same opinion, I have also included the percentage of guys that have agreed with these opinions...so you can have a better idea.

 Yes, my site is quite negative. It just happens. Not all Russian girls are bad. Like I said many times, if you find a girl that you click with and marry, she will probably make a better wife than a girl from your country. Finding that girl is the really hard part. Just because I do not want a Russian girl, it doesn't mean that you cannot find a great girl. Use your common sense, think with your BIG head spend a LOT of time with her before deciding on a future. Forget your fairy tale thinking. This is reality.

 One Guy's Observations on a Trip to Kiev

These are his words, I have not edited anything. (Except for the manager's name)

Learning from a lady that the administrator of the affiliated Odessa agency has badmouthed me in no uncertain terms for daring to complain about poor services and is surprised to learn that I’m really a nice guy; and here I am, paying the salary of this toxic administrator who has poisoned the well;

Learning in four email posts one right after the other from another lady that I had hoped to meet that I had been complaining too much according to the agency administrator and that she is no longer interested in seeing me; for some reason, I had expected that, even if the administrator could not speak well of me to the ladies I had communicated with for months, that she would at least exercise confidentiality about problems not involving ladies I had hoped to meet;

Learning later from the same lady that she would be willing to meet after all and asks you to call her the next day but she gave you the wrong mobile phone number to call; you call her son the later on and he tells you her correct mobile number that isn’t even close to the one she gave you;

Learning that a lady with whom I had never communicated has come all the way to the agency from a town outside of Odessa to see me as soon as possible and that I should come to the agency right away; I looked up this woman’s webpage and don’t recall ever having seen her before and had certainly never communicated with her at all; was told that she had three children, but her webpage lists her as having no children; declined the invitation/summons and communicated with AGENCY CEO **** via email about this bizarre situation; he replies with the non-sequitur and “****” response out of left field that I’m just unhappy with the response I got from this “relationship” with this woman I never met or even wanted to meet; WTF??!!

Learning that another lady I’ve been communicating with for several months appears in the flesh looking 20 lbs. heavier and ten years older than her pictures;

Learning that three ladies who advertise themselves as not drinking or smoking actually drink like fish and smoke like chimneys – one of whom even ordered cigarettes on the restaurant tab; they laugh when you mention that discrepancy and shrug it off by saying that they could quit drinking and smoking if their future husband wanted them to;

Learning that most of the ladies who stated on their webpages that they possessed intermediate English proficiency actually speak English as well as most Americans speak Russian and require translators to accompany us at $10/hour; of course, each time I end up paying for the translator’s meal and drinks as well to avoid looking like a cheapskate;

Learning that one lady who appears as pretty svelte blonde on her webpage is no longer svelte or blonde grilles me about why I got divorced and whether my kids are gay and orders enough food for three in an expensive restaurant; then seems to object if you eat too much of the $60 worth of shashlik that she insists on taking with her in a “doggie bag” after the one-hour dinner date; you discover later that the food was for the local Kiev agency employee whom you paid $70 earlier that day for the contact who later complains shamelessly that she ended up getting only three pieces of meat;  

Learning that a high percentage of Ukrainians are openly prejudiced against our black brothers; although they may say that they love blues and jazz, many use the “N” word liberally; when you point out the duplicity of their dislike for the people who created blues and jazz and are the best athletes in the world, they shrug it off with, “I don’t have to like them to like their music”; then they seem surprised and offended to learn that you don’t find bigotry an attractive quality;

Learning that one lady you are introduced to as a substitute for a last-minute cancellation is in love with some guy she met several months ago and that she got a student visa, although she does not intend to study anything, and cannot wait to move in with him in New York in a few weeks, but that she does get severely depressed when they quarrel which makes her feel that life is meaningless because she has no goals in her life;

Learning that the same lady has ordered her favorite entree for both you and the translator, along with two double shots of whiskey that both you and the translator expressly told her was not wanted; then finding that the restaurant that advertises accepting VISA credit cards won’t accept yours for the food and drinks you didn’t even want or order because of some unexplainable glitch in their system;
