Posted: 2/7/2006 4:09:46 PM | Another update from cherrytree1. The Russian with whom I have been corresponding for six months and who I thought was my friend has made a request of $10,000. She is a teacher and says a student at her school urgently needs a heart operation which is scheduled for Feb. 15th. They have raised part of the money but need the requested sum from me. I wrote to her suggesting she have a webpage created for this boy with pictures of him, his mother and doctor as well as medical files. I told her I could contact Russian cultural organisations and associations in North America and she could sollicit their donations. I also gave her the name of a foreign organisation within Russian that could offer some assistance. She said there is no time and the boy will die in nine days if he does not receive the operation. Today, I told her she will receive the money as soon as I can raise it  I would do anything for her because she is such a sweet, kind, loving and honest person! STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE OF THIS MEDICAL MELODRAMA BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR SPONSOR, CHERRYTREE1 | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:02:41 AM | This is very prevalent...there are several websites out there with discussion boards and "scammer" lists, "Yulia" stole my heart,  but I knew it was a scam in progress
Having said all of that, I recently met a girl from the ukraine and I will tell you that she blows every westernized girl I have ever met completely out of the water. I have never met anyone like her. And she fits the M-O-B profile to a T.
Shes intelligent, friendly, attractive, and strong. But what really makes her special is that she's femine and approachable in spite of her beauty. She's able to have a strong personality without presenting a multiplicity of barriers.
Oh, if only I were russian and had a chunk of cash....
American women have been burnt, yes. But, they have quickly become excessively high priced for what they offer. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 6:24:07 AM | | Dont just beware of russian bride scams, beware of people men and women who will come all the ways to meet you. I say that because they will marry you and have a kid with you etc. however i found that some women from third world counries are looking to only stay in the USA and using you ass a passport to freedom. One woman tried doing that to me, she traveled out here, met me everything, and lucky for me I found out that she was lying. She thought I was white due to my name, but I ma actually Colombian but was adopted into the USA as a child and my name is Irish due to my adoptive parents. She did not think I could read spanish and understand the language and I went through her emails because I thought she was planing to cheat on me because she was so withdrawn and like sneaking around. No, she was just reviewing the plans to have a kid asap so I wouldnt be as quick to want to leave her in the future. That is why I only date in the USA now. Not only did I feel like I wasted my time, but I never again want to worry about if I am being lied to. | |

One of my best friends got a mail order bride, a beautiful young girl from russia, and he is quite a bit older, they married within the year of him bringin her here and are way too happy. I know he paid an extravagant amount of money to bring her over.......... but all in all if you ask either one of them they would both tell you that it was worth it........... On March 26th they will be celebrating 7 years of marriage....... and damm if I could be that happy................ Sooooooooooo who knows.......... I guess you get what you pay for, maybe his cost more, because it was the real macoy LOL | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 6:17:12 AM | Thats absolute garbage.
Oh, I'm sure there are many man shopping the bridal sites who want to find a subservient 10 and think they can buy love. And this view is stupid. But it is my perception (which may be wrong) that eastern european (and possibly european women at large) are much different from their western counterparts. (see my earlier post).
I'd gladly date a european 6 over an american 10 any day of the week because they are not afraid to be feminine and let their man be masculine. In america, us men have to adjust to women who are trying to be men but really are women. This means we're really dating two people - sometimes we need to accomodate their masculine side, sometimes their feminine. It's a mess.
This is a delicate description because I really don't advocate the 50's women who stays at home and gets dad his slippers. But men and women are different and european women seem to understand this better than their western counterparts. | |

Some girls are too much like men. Some of us guy's have given up on NA women because many
girls here are more like our drinking buddies. We can have spitting contests, pissing
contests....ummmm....burping contests - all FUN STUFF but we aren't that
attracted to north American women like once upon a time when being sexy
wasn't the same as dressing skanky or behaving masculine - hmmmm....maybe in
small towns but in big cities we like them feminine. If we need a VISA to help
in our on-going search so be it. I've flown to Mexico and found her - ALL GIRL!
She talks like a girl, eats like one, walks like one, body like one....why would
I feel like I'm missing out of anything closer to home? We're engaged, and I'm
loving it. I didn't marry her for her money either - although, that's the bonus that
came with her. She loves North American men BTW - her problem with Mexican
men is too much testosterone - I told her that testosterone was also the problem
with Canadian women. | |

Posted: 2/11/2006 4:02:58 AM | Yea, I was raised to
1. respect the female point of view
2. Share power
3. Discuss my feelings
4. etc
Basically, the evolved model of men-women - where men and women are equals. And like Stanley Kubrick;s a Clockwork Orange. I've come fully circle.
Women don't like these kind of men. They may tell you that they want to set the rules, but they really don't, they want to test your (the mans) power and still have you (the man) set the rules. And the better you are at puttting up with her sh*t and still winning the arguement (*either through charm / wit / logic / whatever) then the more impressed they are with you.
But, in todays NA world, the women have evolved to present such an "elobarate system of defenses" that this whole dance has become incredibly difficult. Mind you, I'm not speaking about sex and getting in her pants - I'm talking about securing a lunch date or getting to date 3 or finding a committed partner to a relationship.
Yup, finally figured all the sh*t out - just a better to late is all. I think I'll go watch "A Clorkwork Orange" have seen it for some twenty years. | |

Posted: 2/11/2006 9:57:19 AM | If something looks to be too good to be true..... it is because it is!
Basic rule of thumb is look for someone in the same range as you are looks wise. Think about it real hard.... Why would a beautiful woman fall for a wallflower guy. In reality this only happens if the man is super rich. Or the woman is blind. A grown man hoping for the raving beauty when he himself is hard to look at is only fooling himself. | |

| Beware of Russian bride scams WHAT I DID!
Posted: 2/14/2006 1:56:08 PM | I scammed her back. It's easy. First, act really interested. Then when the topic of money comes up, string them along. Make some excuses like, Sending it to the wrong address, having it returned for customs reasons, etc etc. tell them that it is sent but they have to go to another city on such and such a day to p/u as your local western union would only deliver the money there as they have the right bank. Keep leading them around and around. Remember nothing easier to scam then a scammer with money!
Then if you really got a live one going, ask for more pictures. Lead the emails to sexual talk. Subtly of course. Then you could say something like "I know that we are meant to be together, dear. I can come to Russia, but I think that it would be better for you to come here. I'll send you $395.00 for your visa and I'll vouch for you, then I can send $3109 for the air flight here. But something that I'd like for you to do is send me a few more 'revealing' pictures first so I know that you are honest and really wanting to be with me."
Surprising how many will send some nude pics if you ask! | |

Posted: 2/14/2006 4:11:39 PM | Well, life is a blend of different things. And I'm clearly not looking for a 50's women. Actually, I'd prefer WE use a cleaning service, all the stuff is a lot of work. I don't want a girl who is just going to stand there, look pretty, and take care of me. This is clearly not what I'm after. I do want someone who is intelligent and fun and a partner (of course, I also want her to be attractive to me, but also within 6-8 years of me)
But it does seem as though I either never had (poor role modeling here), or never acquired, the skills necessary to charm the girls I'm interested in. Alas, perhpads it is me. But, I would state that NA women are much less approachable.
It's like a guy will call you on stuff if you make a stupid comment about sports and we're cool with that, because they go on and correct us, make is better. But in the world of the dating dance, an american girl won't give you a second chance if your the sightest bit inept, but she doesn't give you an escape route either, she doesn't let you fail gracefully or leave with some element of your pride remaining, and you don't learn from these experiences, you bruise from them.
European girls may pass you buy, but they seem to do it in a more respectfull way with some of your dignity/or self respect remaining. If being kind is being more feminine, that thats part of it (I know this, I was recently shot down). But its more than that, American girls have adapted to the mans women (I give them credit for it) but in the process, have they lost their playfullness. The burden on flirting is now entirely on men, who have to decide "a priori" if it's going to fly, because no prisoners will be taken.
I know this sounds very fuzzy and not well defined...doesn't anyone think I haven't a clue here? | |

Posted: 2/14/2006 4:25:19 PM | | I am finding it hard to feel sorry for you, a fool and his money are soon parted, these women make 200-250 us a month, damn dude wake up, so they talk to 6 guys at a time and if they are lucky they get a paid vacation, or the chance to divorce a man for half his assets just like good old fashioned canadian girls, WAKE UP, there is so much info on this its crazy, and its not hard to find a good russian woman, its a hell of a lot easier than finding a good canadian woman | |

Posted: 2/14/2006 4:31:28 PM | | Your right - my comments belong in another trend - euro I know is from work or elsewhere in the states - If you really want to meet russian women, go to russia...I get it...they wont get my money | |

| Beware of Russian bride scams
Posted: 2/14/2006 4:36:52 PM | Yeah, one time I talked to a woman from Russia who claimed to have a job and a place to stay all set up by some agency. I wrote long letters in response. I think it is about the third letter, she said she was going to Moscow. Fourth letter, she suddenly needs money even though the agency supposedly is helping her out. Right...
What really blows me away is that I get contacted later by yet another russian woman and guess what??? Same pictures, exact word for word letter, I respond, "This is a scam right?" The response? The same second letter. Long story short, it's a computer program responding automatically with a series of letters and information. No one is actually even working to trick you, they're just using some base computer program to send out spam e-mail, then start running a series of letters with images of the same blonde girl as an automated response. Jeez...
Also, anyone stupid enough to wire out money to a complete stranger is a moron. I'm sorry, I don't have any sypathy for someone who is scammed out of money via "male order brides" or stuff like that. That's like going on a date, then handing a woman $100 just in the vain hopes that she'll hook up with you. She probably won't since you're a sucker, but still, the result is the same. | |

Posted: 2/14/2006 4:41:03 PM | | Russian women are very beautiful inside and out. Just separate the scammers from the ones that want to leave. Get their phone number and address. Give them a ring and talk to them. Hope you know some Russian. It's too damn bad they live so far away. They can't get visa's and you have to go there to meet them through reputable european dating agencies. It's not cheap! I remember the online conversations I shared with several in the Ukraine and Russia for over a year. None asked me for money. I ended up phoning a few after getting there numbers and addresses. Usually sent them a little gift for the company they provided. They love chocolates. | |
