Photo Guy says:  PS. If you do connect with a woman for primarily economic
reasons, you'll be mucho sorry, like the 'rich' guy in America, who wonders if his wife married him for his nice big house and shiny Jaguar, rather than love.

- - - -  -

You and any other guy here who doesn't realize that economics is the ONLY reason you will ever be meeting these gals from FSU is dreaming.

How many 8-10 gals from Germany, Sweden, Norway do you see listed on MOB sites.  If they were listed, do you think you would have a shot at them.

No, it is the economy stupid.  When and if FSU rises to economic level of the west, the MOB business will shrivel to nothing.

Doesn't at all mean that we can't find gals in FSU who will eventually love us and not continue to think of us in just economic terms.  But economics is the BEGINNING point in this entire situation.

Bruno - I like the link you provided.  I was not attempting to inflame.  I just feel it is best to educate some individuals who are / were not aware of the fallout pattern from the Chernobyl disaster and ecological and biological harm that did occur and continues to occur because of man's mistakes.

Of course, no problem with this... and me, i educate the woman who wish marry a American man about the fallout patter in US from Nuclear test... and if you wish, i can make some search for Europa... i have see one time a world map where it show that Europa is the place where you have the more chance of a nuclear incident because of our concentration of nuclear plant...

On a other side, i can show map where we see the country with the more high level of polution... US and Europa are in the first place...

The woman who have suffer from tchernobil don't search a foreign man, they are enough busy for try stay living... a man is the last of their problem...

Bud,
Thanks for the good post. I think eventually I'll meet you and
your wife here in Phoenix. Networking is a positive thing,
and will help the adjustment of my future wife (and me).
When I stopped by your office in November, I was impressed
by your office staff. John (Adams) showed me around and was friendly and down to earth. I ended up buying '2 Brothers and
A Bride', which features AFA tour in St. Petersburg. Great movie.
Good to see your contribution here.  -doug L.

Of course it is about the economics! Economics is not just money, stability and security are a part of it, but then, not many women go to marry a guy who offers a lesser standard of living with less stability than she already has. And who would want to marry such a loon anyway

Of course there are people who meet their partner in the FSU through reasons of business, study holiday etc, but I think there are only two posters here who fall into that category.

It is true that there are dating sites with Germans, Britons French and American women (and men), the difference is that by and large they do not seek to export themselves, they are seeking sexual encounters and relationships, usually, within a relatively small area around their homes. It is the poor of the world who sell themselves to (relatively) rich guys from other countries. Phillipinas, Vietnamese, Thais, Ethiopians, Russians, Ukrainians, Dominicanas all spring to mind.

As living standards and stability have improved the number of Czechs, Estonians, Lats etc offering themselves to Americans has declined to such a point that there are now almost no marriage agencies devoted to these women, the market being covered by multinational sites.

Also, please describe YOUR understanding of the definition of a "black Russian" and a "white Russian

 

Black Russian is the reason I lost my virginity...White Russian is the reason I am here! :D

The OP is a one post wonder from nearly 20 years ago.

I am a newby.  I have not made a trip yet but I am planning to go over

in the spring.  I would like to ask the members if they could offer their opinions

as to some of the best methods to find ladies in the FSU.

FSUW like a man of action. Be a man of action
