How to find a Russian Bride

So You Want to Find a Russian Bride?

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Thu, 08 May 2008 06:45:18 PDT

Most divorced and separated men, usually after a period living alone, reach a stage in their life when they think about starting a new relationship, with a view to settling down again. At that point most will have tried finding a woman by the usual and more often than not 'hit and miss' social contact route, introduced through friends and colleagues, or chance meeting down the pub, or at the supermarket!

For many the opportunity to meet someone is severely limited, perhaps through busy work schedule, or there are children to look after from the previous relationship.

Lots of men will try the personal ad route in their local paper, either advertising themselves or responding to ads. Some will 'graduate' to dating agencies and spend time on internet dating sites, trying to meet someone special.

Sooner or later an advert will appear on the computer pointing toward website offering "Beautiful Russian Brides" or similar. Clicking on one of the very many websites available will immediately display a range of stunning looking ladies, often working as lawyer, doctor, dentist or similarly well-qualified professional.

At this point I need to own up that the former scenario describes my own personal situation perfectly. Through benefit of experience, both good and bad, I am going to point out some of the pitfalls and traps of embarking on finding a wife from the former Soviet Union countries.

The first thing to remember is that there are a lot of highly skilled and practised 'scammers' to be extremely wary of. Most of the dating agencies providing the service will ask for payment up-front to allow you to contact some of their clients. It is worth asking for references from other users before making any payment.

Once you have access to the site and start making contact, you still need to be aware that many are 'honey-traps' set for you to fall into. Some of the ladies will not be 'real', insofar as photos of a beautiful young lady will be displayed on the screen, behind which will lurk a scammer, usually with reasonable grasp of English, waiting to lure you into the trap.

The best way to avoid this pitfall is to stretch out the communication and wait for the moment when the subject of money will arise. When it does, the chances are you are being set up. You will probably be asked to send money by cash transfer to pay for: air fare to meet you; urgent medical treatment for your virtual date or their family, or money for a range of other reasons. My advice to you is to be careful, as you may be about to get scammed.

By trial and error, the chances are you will eventually meet someone on the net that won't ask you for money, which is a good, positive sign that they are likely to be genuine.

Finding a lady from former Soviet Union is always going to pose a risk. At some point you will feel positive about the lady you have met and you will want to meet her. This will usually require a significant investment in time and money. Obtaining a visa is an onerous task and can be time-consuming for some states. Make sure you don't book your flight until you receive your visa. If it's delayed for any reason you will probably lose the price of the air fare.

Hotels can be very expensive, especially in Moscow. It may be worth arranging to rent an apartment instead of paying for hotel.

Make sure your first trip to meet is not for too long. Book your trip for just a few days, or maximum of one week. If you don't hit it off then spending two-weeks on your own may leave you wishing you had not booked your trip for more than a few days!

The first meeting can be an extension of the honey-trap. I have spoken to people that have flown to Moscow and been fleeced by a woman that has conned them into asked going on expensive shopping trips, and for dinner at extortionately priced restaurants. If this happens to you then you need to spot the 'writing on the wall' and make your retreat as best you can.

I met my wife in Tashkent in Uzbekistan, which is a particularly repugnant, dictatorial, police state. The people are very friendly, generous and kind, but the administration is particularly difficult for westerner to tolerate and it can be quite scary! Make sure you do your homework on the country where you plan to travel before you decide to apply for the visa.

Assuming that you meet the woman of your dreams and you feel you are a good match, the natural conclusion will be that you will want her to come and live with you. This is where things really do start to get difficult. Obtaining visa is a minefield.

Many men are surprised to find out that you can't simply marry abroad and bring their new wife home, to both live happily ever-after!

The easiest and cheapest option is to apply for a tourist visa. This will require your lady to have evidence of income such as bank statements etc. As salaries are so low in Soviet countries this may prove very difficult to get, or be sufficient to satisfy the Embassy, which will jeopardize chance of getting a tourist visa.

It is possible to get a 'fiancée' visa. In the UK this will allow you to bring your lady to the UK and give you a chance to get to know each other before tying the knot. To obtain a 'fiancée' visa you will need to ensure you have kept full records of all your telephone and email contact, evidence of visits such as flight tickets, photos, room bookings. It is unlikely that you will get a 'fiancée' visa unless you have met previously.

You should not expect much assistance from Embassy staff. It is their job to make life as difficult as possible for you! Remember they can refuse your visa application for myriad of reasons, so ensure you do your research on what is required to avoid disappointment.

If you can overcome all the bureaucratic obstacles and eventually manage to get your lady back home to your country and marry, like me you will not regret the difficulties endured dealing with seemingly implacable Embassy staff and Government Agencies.

Common Mistakes While Looking for a Russian Wife

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 05:11:56 PDT

Profile

If you are a single Western or American man looking for your future wife on different dating websites, you might have been surprised at the abundance of online resources introducing you to the beautiful Russian and Slavic women. We will not discuss the issue of their popularity in this article though, and will concentrate on the most common mistakes made by single men looking for Russian wives.

· Not Sure about your Intentions

Online communications with Russian ladies can be real fun, but it is not playing around that they expect from you. When a Russian woman registers with a reliable international marriage agency, she is seriously determined to find a committed partner and husband, not just a pen friend. She is looking for loving and fulfilling family relationships. Are you sure your intentions are that serious? Ask yourself this question before you go for it, because it is a challenge. Remember that the decision to marry her implies going to Russia, learning about the new culture and language, meeting different people, both good and bad, spending your money, being prepared to non-trivial situations, etc. If you doubt that all of it is worth it, you'd better stay where you are.

· Wrong Choice of Dating Websites

Be very careful with the sites you register at. When your intentions are serious and you are looking for a lady with marriage in mind, avoid fishy dating sites that can be flooded with scammers. Also, think twice before placing a picture of yours in a men's catalogue where you where nothing but bathing trunks. A smart Russian lady looking for a serious relationship will not swallow the bait. Choose reliable agencies which services can be trusted.

· Believing that Your Life won't Change after Getting Married

When you finally take your wife home with you, the adaptation period is going to take a lot of time and effort from both of you. It is going to be harder for her though, because it is she who will have to adapt to the new environment, not you. Be with her during this period and help her learn more about your country, family, friends, job opportunities, etc. Be understanding and loving, and it will work out for you.

Simple Dating Tips-russian Women

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 09:40:48 PDT

If you have decided to chance your luck with Russian women, congratulations, they are worth the extra effort involved. Equally it might be helpful to you to understand a little where these ladies are coming from. They are a little different ( I explain below how and why) and being aware of, or better still understanding these differences can save much misunderstanding. There are many truly gorgeous Russian ladies:- Go get yours.....

Russian and Ukrainian women are different and knowing these differences can significantly increase your chances of success. Why are they different and what are the differences? Because these countries were effectively closed to the rest of the world until relatively recently, these ladies have grown up and developed within systems devoid of foreign influences and this is very noticeable and in many ways attractive.

Here are some of the more notable differences. Dating Russian Women.

1. It is fair to say that in general moral and family values are higher here than in many areas of the world. The development of equality for women in these countries seems to have followed a different route, a different path and so many of these ladies are proudly feminine. They share no inhibitions in dressing, grooming and presenting themselves so as to highlight their feminism, sensuality and beauty.

2. Seeking the best education possible is for many the first priority and it is something taken very seriously. The education systems available are very good by any global standard and equally intelligence levels are way above global averages.

3. Having achieved their University diploma, or often during this period, thoughts of marriage and starting both a home and family begin to arise. They have been brought up to believe in a strong, secure and happy family as the basis of their happiness and for this reason will put unusual efforts into making and sustaining a happy and cosy home and relationship.

4. Once she has settled and established herself in her new life, her new culture and lifestyle, she will quite likely want to contribute in every way to her new life, her new family. No, you will find that many would actually prefer to in some way utilise their intelligence and contribute completely within their family unit.

5. In general these ladies are not wealthy, but equally, they are by nature very generous. The willingness to share that which undoubtably has required much effort and time to aquire is very attractive. No it is fair to say that for most aquiring material possessions is not a major part of their agenda. Again this is in general not true. Although equally they will seek a partner that is financially secure. It is fair to say they list priority of values as:- Kindness, honesty and generosity (of heart), a serious and responsible attitude, a sense of humour and a passion for life.

So how can this information help you in finding your Russian soul mate?

1. Congratulate her on her beauty, but do not dwell excessively upon this aspect solely. They know they are beautiful and in general seek a partner that will love them for what they are and who they are, not simply for their beauty.

2. Engage her intellect, exchange ideas, you will quite possibly be surprised that her viewpoint will be very different, valid and refreshingly interesting. As confidence and trust develops, encourage her to reveal her hopes and dreams, discover her values and what she really believes to be important.

3. The fact that you are in the fortunate position to try for a russian bride does by its nature indicate that you are financially secure. Clearly the expenses involved are incomparable to meeting the "girl next door". Reasure her that yes you are in a position to both help her move to your country and even more important help her establish her new life within your country. Remember she will be considering leaving her home, country and friends. She will need to feel very confident of both your love and your ability to help her start a new life in a new country.

4. Would you be happy for her to either continue her career in her new country, or find a new way of using her intelligence in finding a new occupation? Establish from her how she would like her future life to be and then work together with her in achieving these goals.

5. Be sensitive, if you have a huge house, car, or income let her discover it herself naturally. For the majority of these ladies a kind, open and generous heart is way more important than your material status. Remember that whilst these ladies are not wealthy they are very rich in many deeper and very attractive and admirable qualities.

There are many beautiful and smart Russian and Ukrainian ladies genuinely searching for love and a serious relationship and with care, luck, patience and respect you can find your perfect partner

Russian Women’s Attitudes Toward Marriage

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 06:54:04 PST

By John Kunkle

The main reason why Russian women want to marry Western men is because they want to have a family and they have not found a suitable mate in their own country.

Russian women are motivated to get and stay married. However, there is a considerable amount of adjustment that must take place to make the marriage work.

You will have to overcome cultural differences, language problems, and other types of misunderstandings. You will need to be patient.

In addition, usually marriages between Russian women and Western men are marriages between two people who hardly know each other.

There is an old saying: Women marry men hoping they will change, while men marry women hoping they won’t. Usually, they are both disappointed.

This is not a situation unique to Russian women – it seems to be universal to all women. There will be friction. Mainly, because your wife will slowly try to change you. And you, of course, will resist changing.

Russian women usually try to take charge of the house and the family. They see this as their responsibility. This is because most Russian women in fact are the head of the household in Russia.

Many Russian men either were not present in the home or they neglected their family responsibilities in favor of the pursuit of pleasure.

You will be shocked when the demure little sex kitten you met in Kiev starts to show her claws after you are married.

You think she has changed and you don’t like it. You may wonder where that cute little girl that you first met has gone to. Well, that cute little girl is now a wife and she takes her responsibilities as a wife seriously.

She begins to do what she has seen all Russian women doing since she was a little girl – taking care of their families the only way they know how – by taking charge.

And changing you to fit into family life is part of the process. You will not be successful by digging in your heels and refusing to change. This is going to be your greatest challenge. Deciding where to change and when to stand your ground.

Russian woman for wife:How to Win a Russian Woman with Words

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 06:53:09 PST

By Kristy Pass Pass

Someone really ought to write The American Man's Guidebook to Avoid Infuriating a Russian Woman during Correspondence because there are certainly enough American men out there looking for a Russian companion who want to make a good impression, but don't know where to begin. Even fewer know the biggest mistakes to avoid when writing a Russian woman. While I'm not prepared to write a book on the subject, I do have a few tips for men who are looking for a compatible partner in a woman from Russia.

Like women anywhere, Russian women for wife dislike men that are dishonest, mean spirited and have bad tempers as well as those who are unreliable and of course unfaithful. Many Russian women tend to dislike facial hair and are apt to avoid a man who is obese. However, these same women are not disenchanted by a man who is ten to fifteen years older.

Because Russian women are not desperate to leave Russia, writing the wrong things will end in a quick rejection. Before you decide to write a Russian woman, learn about the culture. Begin to study what is considered normal and acceptable behavior and what is not. You'll find some very interesting things like that handwriting a letter is considered cheap or that appearing in photos wearing shorts and no shirt is disrespectful.

Remember there is a strong western influence on today's Russian woman. She sees American television, listens to American music and often eats American foods. While a Russian woman would rarely call herself a feminist, she is independent by fate and takes on many responsibilities as a regular course of life. To assume that she will be docile and obedient is a big mistake. To command her in anything is a major mistake. With Russian women, if you want something, ask and the likelihood is you'll get it.

Another common mistake when writing a Russian woman is to begin the letter with "Dear" and tell her you find her beautiful. The word "dear" in Russian has a very intimate connotation and is better left for when you know the Russian woman better. To tell her she is beautiful is another way of convincing her you want only one thing and are not interested in her as a person. When considering things that will make a Russian woman feel devalued, keep in mind that trying to impress her with the things you have will only serve to make her feel you are trying to make her one of your possessions.

Lastly, if you want to avoid infuriating Russian women during correspondence, make sure you never stop writing without an explanation. If you find she is not the one for you, tell her.

Russian Superstitions

By John Kunkle

Russians are very superstitious people. They will deny this, but it is true. These superstitions affect my life on a daily basis. Most of the time they are harmless and I go along with them to humor my wife. Sometimes I tease her about them.

New superstitions pop up all the time, as new situations arise in our life. I keep telling her that I need a rulebook for them. Perhaps someday I will codify them in a book.

Russians are raised with these superstitions so they have no need to consult a manual.

Here are some of them. It is by no means an exhaustive list:

1) You can’t whistle in the house or car, as they believe that you are whistling away your money.

At a dinner party at our house, a friend of mine started whistling. My wife silenced him immediately. She explained to him, “You can whistle in your own house, but you can’t whistle in mine. In my house, it’s my money you are whistling away.”

When she first came to America, she would see people standing at intersections holding signs. She asked me what they were doing. I told her they were asking for money. She asked me why. I told her that they had done entirely too much whistling in their house for their own good.

2) If you step on your spouse’s shoe by accident, you have to let the other person step on your shoe, or you will have an argument.

I never tested this superstition. It seemed easier to go along with the remedy than pay the price for violating it.

3) If you leave your house, you cannot go back inside for something you have forgotten, or your trip will result in ‘nothing good,’ as my wife says.

4) If you must go back in to get the forgotten item, you can try to mitigate the bad effects of returning by looking into the mirror at your own reflection for a moment before you leave again.

5) Never demonstrate another’s surgery or wound on your own body with your hand or other means as you are likely to visit that upon yourself.

In the few times I have done this, my wife has tried to remedy this by wiping away the spot where I made the imaginary incision with her hand, blowing on her hand to blow it away to the wind, and covering it with the sign of the cross.

6) Never give a Russian woman an even number of flowers. Even numbers are for the dead. Always give odd numbers. When you order a dozen, or two dozen roses, for her, ask them to throw in an extra one for good luck.

7) Never give yellow flowers to a Russian woman. It signifies infidelity and may mean that your relationship will not last.

8) Never give a watch as a gift to a Russian wife marriage. Time is running out on your relationship.

9) Never give knives or handkerchiefs as gifts. I don’t know the reason for this one.

10) Never celebrate a birthday early. You are pushing your luck.

11) Don’t show your newborn baby to strangers until after forty days. They are waiting for their soul to arrive and they may take on another’s soul or energy during that time.

12) It’s best to cut your hair or nails during a full moon.

13) It's considered bad luck to shave or cut your hair when a family member is in danger or bad health.

14) Whenever someone praises you or offers a positive comment, you knock on wood or imaginarily spit three times over your left shoulder so that you are not jinxed by the comment.

15) Do not shake hands or kiss over the threshold of a door. It forms a bridge that allows the devil or evil spirits from the outside to enter the house this way. When I have done this by mistake, my wife usually pushes me back outside or pulls me inside before greeting me with a kiss at the front door.

16) Before anyone takes a long trip, the whole family sits together silently for a few minutes before the traveler leaves.

17) The truly superstitious have been known to eat ‘lucky’ bus tickets, when the sum of the left three numbers equals the sum of the three numbers on the right.

18) Recently, while preparing to give my infant daughter a bath, the little tyke peed on me while I was taking her clothes off. My wife laughed and said that it was good news. It meant that I would live to dance at my daughter’s wedding!

This list is not exhaustive by any means. Superstitions vary by country and locale. There is a popular Russian television show that travels around the country exploring the unique superstitions of each particular town or village.

Many of the superstitions came from folk tales or fairy stories, Russian Orthodox tradition, or had peasant or agricultural roots. Most Russians are only one or two generations from the farm or village.

At any rate, be aware of the superstitions and try to show some respect for them whether or not you believe in them. Your Russian friends will appreciate it.

Our recommendations how to find women for marriage in Russia

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 11:59:13 PST

Have you come to the site to find a Russian lady? Do Russian girls attract you? I will be happy to help you:

Register to the site ' Find Russian Women for Marriage' and pay special attention to pictures. Many men think that women do not pay attention to pictures - WRONG! They do. When you communicate with the person, then pictures go to the second plan. But in the beginning they do. The worst pictures that can be imagined are made by mobile telephones or by camera. They make face of the person to look in special way and usually it does not help to attract attention.

Russia is the country of traditional view on the roles of men and women. Russian Brides can be active, but they want you to initiate contact. Most of the information is written in your profile. That's why your letter can be rather short. It can be rather traditional: I like you, do you like my profile. Or you can think of something more original. If you want to be slower in your approach send the Russian women on the site postcards or ice-breaks.

In the first letters write when you can come to Russia, be definite. On this site, women are serious looking for a partner for life, and many of them met with the case when men just wrote, wrote, wrote for several years but the time went by. That's why many women reply less gladly when they do not know when a man can come.

Choose the women with whom it is easy for you to communicate, with whom you never miss words. Ask them for a telephone number, phone, talk there will tell you more than tons of letters.

What women hate most is the thought that you phone to tens brides and do not remember even their names. Better talk on different themes in your telephone talks and ask different questions and never forget the name.

When you have established good relationship with a girl, try to come to Russia as soon as possible. The more you delay your visit to your bride the more chance that the relationship will go down (they can't just stand on one point, the relationship need to go up and make better or they need to go down and make worse).

Russian women dating : The best brides in the world

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 11:40:34 PST

Being superstitious, they believe that should go through a long way of sufferings until they rich their happiness. So, they wait for a miracle to happen in their life and wait for the moment, when they could be happy in love. Although there are still girls who are in a hurry to get married. This thing happens to them because it is well known, that the population majority in most of the Russian-speaking countries is the females, when for example, in the United States the male population is dominating.

One of the some agency's Russian brides, in her letter to the American fiance says that she, being a Russian woman has learnt from her Eastern girlfriends how to be patient and docile with the men.

Local Russian ladies claim this place gave them a great chance to become unique by their personality. They still hold old traits for marriage and wanting children, as well as a good life for them.

However, it is also worth mentioning that the Russian girls are more intellectual and active than their Eastern girlfriends. They are independentPsychology Articles, clever and hardworking enough to gain success both in their personal life and in their carrier.

One thing that is clear and unchangeable and it's about everyone's desire for a perfect love relationship and a wish to find a real soul mate that will stay beside forever.

Russian bride fenomenon

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:09:36 PST

Eveything is quite simple: process of emancipation in the west has caused reassessment social and spiritual values, the woman has ceased to be simple saver a home and the housewife, today for her on the first place - career, children and the husband are on the second place. Foreign girl will not worry concerning her appearance, they put on so that, first of all, it was convenient for them. They are self-assured and perceive men as equal in rights partners both in family, and in business.

In turn, Russian girls are much less exacting, and very much frequently a limit of dream for many of them is the teetotal husband and fed children. They have time to work, successfully to conduct facilities and and they always look good. And, at last, the most important and a weighty argument for the benefit of Russian girls - good formation and high intelligence facilitating adaptation in the unfamiliar country and quite often causing pride at foreign men. Such unique combination of qualities appeared to be so appreciable, that has caused huge interest on the part of lonely men of USA and the Western Europe. Such marriages for a long time were considered to be something outstanding and finally the reasons to search the beloved ones were found for russian women.

One of the reasons - a demographic situation in the CIS: the quatity of women is much higher than men. One more reason - Russain girls aspire to provide to themselves and children comfortable conditions of life to get access to "clever" medicine, to live bright and high-grade life, freely to travel and to not reflect on household problems - and in it there is nothing immoral and unnatural. And, at last, worthy men are everywhere - and in the CIS, and abroad. In conditions of the world integration the modern woman can and should choose not to an attribute "ours - not ours", and to much more essential attributes. Usually it is purposefulness and magnanimity, attention, fidelity and diligence, ability and desire the sense of humour and natural charm, the quivering attitude to the woman, children and the house is good to look at any age, to take care of relatives - these qualities Russian women search for ability and find in the foreign elects.

Direct Student Loan Consolidation

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:08:58 PST

When you are thinking about student loan consolidation, you are probably worrying about how the loan officials figure out your interest rates. Your eligibility is the first thing that is looked at. The school will look at the original principal loan and subtract whatever payments that you have made. This will determine your eligibility of what kind of student loan consolidation you can have an exactly what loan programs you qualify for. After this determination the school will look at your balance toward subsidized or unsubsidized loans and how much you have previously borrowed.

The outstanding balance in both types of loans sets your loan rate. the process in which the school determines eligibly for student loan consolidation is simple. First the school will review the borrower's consolidation paperwork. Here your outstanding balances and the payments made will be weighted together to give them a framework in which to judge. Your student loan consolidation will be either accepted or denied according to the financial information that you provide your school. Here it will be determined if you have the right information and you truly qualify for the loan.

The next process in your direct student loan consolidation is for the school to contact the loan origination center and the direct student loan consolidation department. Here these departments will use the national student loan data system to find out if there if more loans out there than you have disclosed. Many students have multiple loans from different locations and after years of schooling it is sometimes hard to keep up with all the paperwork. Loans are bought and sold quite often and if you have moved around the notice of the sale may not find you.

By consolidating your direct student loan you will be able to pay one loan company one fee at a time. This will save you the hassle of keeping up with multiple bills and payment books when one check will be all you need. You can clean out that file in the file cabinet that is overflowing with correspondence from your student loan suppliers. Wouldn't it be nice to get just one statement and one bill in the mail instead of going through tons of paperwork that doesn't really inform you much and is just a waste of trees? You can even set up your statement and pay your bills online. This will keep your mailbox free of those notices that just tell you that you still owe them money.

Direct student loan consolidation can also lower your monthly payment and your interest rate. By using one company that you choose you can drop your monthly payments by at least 75% with some programs. The only warning is to make sure that the consolidation company has been around for a few years and that you are borrowing from a reputable company. There are a lot of new companies that have started up in recent years that do not have the experience or the know how to get you the best rates and lower your interest enough so that you can afford the payments.

Why Russian Women Seek Foreign Husbands?

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:14:24 PST

I work in affiliat program "Russian bride" only a few months. During this time, the number of girls in the program has increased from 9000 to 13000. An increasing number of Russian women want to marry foreigners.

Why Russian Women Seek Foreign Husbands?

The main reason that Russian women want to marry to the West that they wanted to marry and have a family, and they feel that this is not possible for them in Russia today.

Do unmarried women thirty-five years of age or older virtually no chance to find a husband in Russia. A divorced woman with children in the same boat.

Russian women abroad finding is the result of the lack of suitable men in Russia.

Russian women who are looking for Western marriage, believe that they will have better chances of receiving married and having a family with a foreigner than with the Russian man.

Why are all these beautiful Russian women are

Russian tend to marry young, between eighteen to twenty two years. In this age, the number of single men and women is about even. However, as they grow older, the number of single women is beginning to increase in the number of men.

When they last school age is often very difficult for women in decision marriageable men in Russia. There are a number of reasons.

Because of the unstable economic situation in the former Soviet countries, many men are unable or unwilling family. In addition, because of the relatively higher number of single women than men, there is social pressure to marry.

Alcoholism and violence, and other problems. When a woman is approaching thirty, it is in terms that many women are married to their culture. Thus, a large number of wonderful women you see who are single and married.

Russian Women Online: Meet Real-Life Russian Brides!!

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:11:37 PST

You certainly have heard about mail order brides and Russian women seeking foreign men for marriage, but most likely you have not met any real-life russian brides.Let me introduce you to a few of them – a tiny fraction of many thousands Russian women that found their love and marriage with western men.

But first, a reality check:

* What kind of Russian women are seeking partners abroad, do you think?

-- Some desperate, poor girls that try to better their lot in life by “selling themselves”?

** Who are the men that seek Russian brides, do you think?

-- Some old, unattractive losers, who cannot attract any woman at home?

Do those answers make sense to you? Then read on – you are up to a surprise!

Meet real-life Russian brides:

1) Marina Smiley, MD – married to an American she met online.

Medical Doctor by education, Marina used to have her own successful company back in Russia; the author or popular eBooks “The shocking truth about russian brides” (http://www.womenrussia.com/aboutrussianbrides.htm) and “Sex and love with Russian women” (http://www.womenrussia.com/datingrw.htm). Marina hates the hype of Russian marriage agencies and believes it is about time to set up the record straight in regard to Russian women seeking men for marriage.

2) Olga Sapp – M-degree in journalistic, married to an American man for more than 5 years.

Olga is the Editor of the popular Russian Women Magazine http://www.russianwomenmagazine.com - a magazine for russian women living abroad and for interested men. She used to be a successful TV-journalist back in Russia, and knows media industry from A to Z.

3) Elena Hughes – M-degree, married to an American man she met online.

Elena used to have a successful travel agency back at her home country Belarus but decided that having her own family was more important. So she sold her travel agency and set herself to find a husband abroad – started to learn English and communicate with western men via Internet. Meet Elena and her husband Doug at http://www.russian-wife.net

And the last, yours truly:

4) Elena Petrova – M-degree in Philosophy, married to a South African man for more than 5 years, currently living in Australia. We have two children, a boy and a girl.

Back in Russia, I used to be a regional manager of a large marketing agency, having 150 people working for me. My income would fit into top 10% of the population. My website Russian Brides Cyber Guide (http://www.womenrussia.com) is one of the most popular places for information about Russia and Russian women – even school kids writing essays about Russia use it.

So – what do you think about real-life Russian brides? Do they sound like low-class, desperate silly girls “selling themselves”?

No. Neither their husbands are unattractive old losers.

Take my husband for example: he used to be a top-manager of a corporate company, the head of finance department, and a successful athlete as well - running marathons and ultra-marathons, and has got 3 medals for the toughest Comrades Marathon, which is 90 km through the hills (the ones who run marathons will know what it means!). 6’4” tall and trim, you think he could not find anyone at his home country?!

So WHY those men and women set up to look elsewhere for marriage partners?

The answer is simple: CHOICE!

They can find a better quality partner abroad that is available for them at their home countries.

That’s it.

No hidden agenda, “buying women” – “selling themselves”, just the natural human desire.

Forget “mail order brides” nonsense – the fact that people marry somebody from a different country than their own is a natural attribute of the Internet age where national borders started to fade.

We live in the interesting timesArticle Search, pals. Embrace the opportunities!

Sexy, beautiful, intelligent and educated women... Mail Order Brides!

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:07:42 PST

There is no single man who would not want to meet a woman who is beautiful, intelligent, educated, fit, stylish and sexy.All men want a girlfriend like this!

The problem is there are not many girls possessing those qualities that are unattached and available. Girls like this usually have a string of admirers and an attitude. You might even think they are out of your league.

Think again!

In your country, this may be true… But the world is so much bigger than that! In some countries, things are exactly the opposite way around: there is a huge shortage of nice, intelligent and stable single men!

Take Eastern Europe for example: the latest statistics from The Economist show that in places like Russia and Ukraine there are only 88 men for 100 women! In Russia alone, there are 10 million more women than men!

It means there are TEN MILLION WOMEN that will NEVER find a partner!

Historically, during 20th century, women in Russia always outnumbered men, with World War 2 that took lives of 20 million Soviet people, and other 20 million people that died in Stalin’s concentration camps. 90% of them were men.

At that time, for a Russian woman, simply having a man was a blessing!

This created a unique situation between the genders where women were forced to perfect their looks in order to find and keep a mate.

Check Russian dating sites: you will find there thousands beautiful girls that are looking for a partner: well groomed, fashionable and stylish, they will leave you breathless.

Read about their education and you will be stunned: most of them possess advanced university degrees.

Don’t be surprised: about 60% of people in Russia have college or university degrees, others have completed at least 2-year professional training. The system of professional education was inherited from the Soviet times, where young people were required to attend professional training after completing the mandatory high school qualification. They don’t have equivalents of associate or honors degrees, and the person has to complete at least 4-year degree, or they don’t receive ANY qualification. This is how the state convinces young people to complete their studies. (By the way, education and medical are still f*r*e*e in Russia.)

On Russian dating sites, you will find thousands women that are beautiful, intelligent, educated, fit, stylish and sexy – and at the same time unattached and available.

And they are looking for nice, intelligent and stable guys - just like you!

The bad news is, you will never be able to meet them…

Why?!

Because you never look at Russian dating sites. You have this attitude that “mail order brides” are something a decent man will never consider: it is only desperate losers that would look for a partner at such sites. You read in press horror stories about “mail order brides” and this phrase is strongly connected in your mind with such topics as violence, abuse, sexual exploitation, trafficking in women and immigration scams. You believe that men that seek wives abroad simply cannot find anybody in their own country and seek obedient, submissive wives. Do you?

Well, then you are for a wake up call. There is no such a thing as “Russian mail order brides” – no more than there is Santa Claus!

There are Russian women seeking suitable partners. Those women are not desperate to leave their country and are proud of their inheritance and culture. They are educated, intelligent, and smart. They are not going to become intimate submissives or maids. They will not tolerate infidelity or abuse. They truly seek SUITABLE partners and will not jump on anybody, just to get out of their misery.

In fact, they do NOT consider their life miserable! On her average salary, a Russian woman can afford to attend live performances and beauty saloons a few times a month, buy best-selling books, latest fashion and Italian shoes.

Actually, I used to have much more exciting life in Russia with overseas vacations and quality entertainment than I have now, living in the west!

The same is applicable to many Russian women seeking partners abroad. They are articulate, sophisticated, well read and well traveled.

Obedient, submissive “Russian mail order brides” do not exist!

You don’t have to believe my word.

P.S. Personally, I hate this label “mail order brides”. I believe it is a disgrace to imply a human being can be ordered as an item, and the sacred companionship of marriage may be purchased as an electrical toothbrush from mail order catalog.

C’mon guys! So called “mail order brides” services do not sell women. They sell access to contact information of their members, that’s it – just like you join a local singles club and they give you contact details of people that may be interested in meeting you. Russian dating agencies also have socials like speed dating services where interested men and women can meet each other. Only men and women, themselves, decide whom they want to date. You cannot buy a bride!

Wake up – and smell the roses! :-))

So what is important for Russian women?

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:03:36 PST

With no doubt these are love and security. Those are the most important two things women write in their profiles. "I want my future husband to love and understand me", - is what almost all of them.After “love and understanding” usually goes “financially security”. But don’t get it wrong. It doesn’t mean you must have a six-figure annual income. It means you just have to have a stable job and be able to provide for the family. Though the better your financial situation, the easier you will find a nice Russian lady.

There were no times in Russia that people didn’t have to suffer with everyday surviving. So, don’t think that Russian women are after your money. They just want to change the situation and make sure it will never happen again. A Russian woman will stay with you through any turn of fortune, but to consider you as a partner for the end of her life, she must be confident you are not an unemployed tramp.

Your impressive financial situation may do its work at first, but then other factors will come into play: you’ll have to develop relationship, based on emotional factors and character compatibility. There are lots of cases when Russian women choose much poorer guys but with better personalities. Commitment is another thing a Russian woman is expecting from you. Since long distance relationships without being able to continue it in real life don’t make much sense, she wants to be assured you are ready to offer it to her. She is not looking for pen friends. Living in hard times, always trying to survive makes people thoughtful and thus more mature for their age than under other more favorable conditions. For the most part it’s relevant to Russian women as to nobody else. From my experience, I can tell that 5-15 years difference is perfectly normal. Many men are surprised at receiving letters from attractive professional women (lawyers, economists, doctors) 10-15 years younger than themselves.

In most western countries this age gap is beyond imagination. But with Russian women it’s ok. Besides, the age difference also adds to their feeling of security. On the other part, you should not set unrealistic expectations. If you’re in your late 50’s, you’d better not expect to find a 20-year old beautiful girl. But try to concentrate your attention on charming ladies in their late 30’s or 40’s, eager to make acquaintance with you. This is be realistic. Of course, there are exceptions from the rules as anywhere else. If you’re very good looking, intelligent, famous or rich, you’ll have all the chances to make it with the age difference of 20 years or more. But, again, it will only be an exception.

If you think of a lifetime relationships, it’s absolutely necessary to take age issue into consideration. Most of the women won’t have problems with age differences up to 10 years, many will find 15 years OK, but only a few will consider age difference up to 20 years. Everything beyond this will very likely make you encounter problems in your search. It’s also need to be said, that requirements of Russian women to foreign men grow higher and higher every year. The more foreign men seek partners in Russia, the better choice women have.

There are some distinctions in perceiving age difference between young girls and older women. For a girl of 20 years old it’s normal to be interested in men up to 45, but a woman of 40 years old will not search for a man above 55. Therefore, if you are 48 you may be considered a suitable candidate for a girl of 27 years old. Health Fitness Articles, but too old for girl of 35 years old. always say.

Etiquette at the Russian Tour Social

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:43:28 PST

By John Kunkle

It is important that you are respectful to the women who are in attendance at the social. Many of them have spent the equivalent of several months’ salary for clothes, transportation, and lodging in order to be there. Some may have traveled hundreds of kilometers and a day or more in travel time to come.

I can assure you that most of the women in attendance are very serious about being at the Social. With a ten to one ratio of women to men, it is obvious that many of these women will be disappointed. Please bear this in mind. The odds are stacked in your favor so that you are guaranteed to win.

You have paid thousands of dollars for that privilege. But bear in mind that the women in attendance have paid just as high a price based on their personal resources as you have. In many ways they have more to gain and lose than you do.

Consequently, you should respect their time and level of commitment to the social introduction process, as their happiness is as important to them as yours is to you. For these reasons, please show them all the courtesy you can.

"Russian Brides: How to Woo, Win, and Wed The Woman of Your Dreams" is a complete comprehensive step by step manual that covers all the pertinent details about finding, meeting, and courting a Russian woman.

The site is organized from the beginning of the book -- why you should pursue a Russian woman, how to find her, how to communicate with her -- through traveling to Russia, meeting her -- and ultimately, to bringing her home and making your relationship work.

The book is designed to be read from beginning to end. Each chapter page has subchapters on the corresponding chapter page which deal with specific subjects.

Just click on the "Next" button on the bottom of each page and it will take you to the next page chronologically in the book.

Once you have read the book through once, you may focus on that part of the book that corresponds to the stage where you are at now.

I wish this guide was available when I was in the process of meeting my Belarussian wife. It would have saved me a lot of time, money, and heartache. You now have my experience and the experience of hundreds of men who have traveled before you at your fingertips.

The Russian Marriage Agency From Hell

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:41:22 PST

By John Kunkle

If she does not speak English, you can usually arrange through the local marriage agency to have a translator on the call. This may cost you ten to twenty dollars per hour, but at least you will be able to converse with each other.

Other resources are local universities that have university students who are studying English. Usually their services can be arranged fairly inexpensively.

I used translation services from the marriage agencies a few times with widely varying results. One of the worst was an agency in Polatsk, Belarus. This was, hands down, the worst marriage agency I ever encountered. It was the agency run by Olga Narkevich.

The young girl who did the translating was an English student. She did her best, but she could barely speak English. She could only remember about five to ten words at a time before she had to do a data dump and translate.

Sometimes this was in the middle of a sentence and it was difficult, if not impossible, to get anything but the simplest concepts translated.

The basic message got through, but a conversation that should have taken fifteen minutes took over two hours. On top of that, the phone connection was so bad, we were both screaming at each other on the phone to be heard.

The telephone system in the CIS countries is about fifty years behind the telephone system in the West. I have noticed that in the winter, particularly, the quality of the phone lines suffer dramatically. This is probably due to the extreme cold.

I found myself feeling more and more upset by the act of screaming into the phone, even though no words were said to make me angry. My frustration with the slow pace of the translation added to that feeling. When I hung up, I was drenched in sweat and ornery enough to take on a biker gang.

To understand why I ranked this marriage agency as the worst that I encountered, you need to hear the rest of the story.

At first, my telephone conversations took place between a Russian woman who was a client of Olga’s and myself. At some point in the translated conversation, it was obvious that Olga had inserted herself.

I was peppered with questions about my income and other personal questions. In addition, pressure was being applied for me to use their service in Belarus at what I thought was a ridiculous usurious rate.

For example, the translator asked if I would like to come to Polatsk to meet the woman who I was conversing with. I answered that that would be nice.

The translator then said that they would send a driver to pick me up at the train station in Minsk. Polatsk is about a two-hour drive north from Minsk. I inquired about the fee, which the translator said would be about $200.00.

I told them I would take the train to Polatsk by myself. The translator then asked, “How will we recognize you at the train station?”

I described myself. The translator responded, “Why don’t you carry an American flag so we can identify you?”

I responded dryly, “Of course. And I will be singing ‘God Bless America,’ as I march through the train station, waving the flag.”

As an aside, I found a pair of boxer shorts made out of the same material and in the same pattern as the American flag. I brought them with me on my trip. I was going to wave them as I made my way through the train station in Polatsk.

The translator said that they would take care of all hotel reservations, meals, and other arrangements. I asked how much. After consulting Olga in Russian, she replied to me, “About one thousand dollars per day.”

I said, “Congratulations, Polatsk has become the most expensive city in the world in which to visit.”

I asked the translator, “How could I possibly spend one thousand dollars in a day in a country where the average income is one hundred dollars per month?”

After conversing with Olga in Russian again, the translator answered, “You may want to go boar hunting.”

Her response was so hilarious to me, I burst out laughing. I said to her that the only thing I was there to hunt was for a delightful woman to become my wife.

I thought to myself, “And the only thing I was likely to shoot is a greedy, unethical, evil owner of a marriage agency.”

Needless to say, I declined their offer. My only reason for going to Polotsk was for the benefit of the woman I was to meet. I had already made my mind up about Olga.

After my laborious conversations with the translator, you can imagine how I felt when I called up Olga’s agency on my way through Belarus, and Olga was able to converse with me in perfect English.

She had put me through hours of tedium to train her translator at twenty dollars per hour, plus the cost of the telephone calls, while she could have spoken to me without problem in perfect English in a fraction of the time.

It was with a certain delight that I told Olga that I would not be stopping in Polatsk. The thought that Olga was imagining bags of money flying away brought joy to my heart.

I felt sorry for the woman I was to visit in Polatsk. I had fallen in love with my future wife and that was that. She was ‘the one.’ I knew it as soon as I met her.

Dating Women From Russia. Important Tips The Marriage Agencies Never Tell You

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:37:34 PST

by: Marina Smiley

I want to share with you information that the Russian marriage agencies don't tell you on their web sites.

Many of the dating agencies tout, how young Russian women are so family oriented and will make wonderful wives and family partners. This causes many foreign men to dream about the perfect family! A family that they have already built up in their own imagination.

Every man who has seen the Russian dating agency ads and believes in them completely, has built up in his mind, and has created his own fantasy, of what a future family with a Russian women, will be.

If the man's dreams are based on a foundation the marriage agency has constructed and no on a healthy dose of common sense, then, most likely the relationship is at great risk of disappointment and inevitable, failure

The dating services help bring you together, they do not help you to stay together ! It is not their job to make your relationship last, so they don't bother to warn you of the many pitfalls that can become you and destroy your marriage. What do you expect of your new Russian bride and what do you really know about her??

I want to give you an example how you can read into the marriage agency advertising using a critical eye and common sense.

Try this: Go to any marriage dating agency and following their procedure to join. Look at Russian women from 21 to 25 years old.. Pay close attention to what these women have written in their bio s.. Do you see anything in common??? Of course you do..it is very obvious! Ninety percent if not more of these women have written that they have a bachelor degree. They just finished or going to finish their educational requirements. Ask yourself, WHY?

If all the dating agencies are telling you that all Russian women are very family oriented and in most cases live to serve their husband and children, why would they spend 10 years in school and from 4-7 years at the university, getting a degree ?

Why would these young women spend the biggest part of their young life studying so hard if they are so family oriented ? Why not, instead, go take domestic courses such as cooking and sewing and child rearing?

Do these women, who have spent the better part of their young lives dedicated to getting a higher education, look as women who are preparing themselves to be housewives and mothers and not have a professional career???

Yeap...it is look little bit like the opposite ... if not more...

Here is another question: Compared to the United States, how many children are in the average Russian family?

Is it not unusual to see in the average American family at least three children. The statistical average is 2.7 children per family. How you get a 7/10th of child I don t know, but that is the statistic!

In Russia, to see a family with three children would be quite a shock, absolutely! It is even unusual to see a Russian family with two children.

When I just came to USA, I was surprised how many pregnant women I saw on the streets! In Russia it is very seldom that you will see a pregnant woman in public. For the last few generations, Russian couple produce only one child. By the way, it is a very big problem in Russia.

That each couple produces only one child, does not allow the population to grow but rather, stagnate. To be honest, it is not only a problem for Russia, but for all European countries.

Are you wondering why most Russian couples have only one child if Russian women are so extremely family oriented as the dating agencies promise you? Why don't they want to have more children?

The reason is not because of a difficult economical situation, in fact you can see many countries that have much more difficult economic situations and these poor families have 5-10 children. In Russia, even wealthy families have only one child.

I can give you many more examples of what the dating agencies tell you and what you can see on your own.

Be smart enough to learn about the culture of your future wife's country and about the circumstances that she grew up in, before you marry her. It can prevent you from making many mistakes and help you to build a happy family with an Russian woman.

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:35:11 PST

There are a lot of misconceptions about Russian women that need to be cleared:

The one vital question that looms large in the minds of men is that why should Russian women look for husbands abroad? Is it that they want to migrate to the West at any cost by using marriage as a stepping stone?

The answer to both the questions is a big NO. A few issues plaguing the Russian society pushes them to choose Western life partners. There are many reasons for this. Taking a look at Russian men objectively, the statistics reveal that Russian men cannot make good husbands because of their alcohol abuse and poor health conditions. The society and life conditions in Russia push the men towards alcohol addiction.

The second reason is because the number of women in Russia outnumber the men by almost 7%. So, a lot of Russian women are lonely and hardly have a chance to find a life partner in Russia.

Since the major misconceptions about Russian brides have been tackeld, let us move on to see what the basic qualities of Russian brides are.

Russian brides are good-looking, feminine and chic. They rarely get overweight with time. They dress up very carefully and are updated with the latest fashion. Russian women are very modest in their financial and lifestyle expectations for a husband compare to western women. Most Russian singles would much rather have a loving husband and friend than well sponsored life with a stranger.

They are well-educated, intelligent. They have better education and life experience. This is because the Soviet educational system offers quite a few scholarships and encourages women to have advanced degrees. Though the accent in English is different, they can pick up the right accent very easily.

Though they are career-minded they do not compromise on family values. This is because of unique Russian culture that has very strong, old-fashioned values about family and its importance to the woman. Also, because most of Russian live in small apartments with 2-3 generations living together. Thus the family is close knit.

Finally, what a man can expect from a western bride is that she will make a good wife because she is flexible and adaptable to any life style. Many men who have been married to Russian women, report how easy it was for their new wives to overcome a cultural change. Although, men themselves had to make compromises in order to help the transition.

There are a lot of dating and introduction agencies introducing Russian brides to eligible men.

Russian Brides... Myth or Reality?

Author: Mitchell Smith

When I first began on my journey seeking a Russian Bride, I was just in awe at how gorgeous they were AND that they were still available... as I'm sure most Western men feel when they visit these Russian woman sites too. Yes, it was eye candy heaven and I loved every minute of it. They all shared the same typical profile too... "Looking for man my dreams! I cook, clean and shall be the good wife! I want family with the children... where is you, man my dreams?"

Seemed simple enough, as I fit the profile for most of the Russian women on there. And as I searched towards finding the perfect Anna Kournikova clone, thinking of how I would rescue her from the fallout of Communism, poverty and near starvation... she, in return, would think of me as her hero, love me forever and worship the ground I walk upon. All because I sent her an email. Yes, pure poetry to her ears that somebody from the Western world wanted her more than a bottle of Stolichnaya Vodka!And after 2 years of courtship through emails, I eventually found my perfect match... a petite, sweet, blonde Russian girl named Nadejda.

Only 25 years old... old enough to know what love is and still young enough to fall for it! Yes, I am a lucky man and have been very fortunate. But in my quest towards marrying a Russian woman, I have learned the truth that separates MYTH from REALITY. Many Russian bride sites will likely argue with me on many points -- but this is because they have to. After all, they need Western men to spend their American dollars, right? But I want to set the record straight. My article is not to tear down the Russian Bride sites, but rather to amuse and entertain you while being truthful... so I will speak the truth based on my experiences.

So what is MYTH and what is REALITY? Well, let's see, shall we?

1) Myth: All Russian women are just as beautiful as Anna Kournikova. Sorry, but unless you're Anna Kournikova, the closest you're ever going to get with her looks is a photo. MOST (and yes, I do mean MOST) Russian girls are a 7 at best, being on a scale from 1-10. I grew up in Chicago, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, so maybe my opinion is a bit biased... but living here in Russia, I have yet to see the beautiful women as represented within the agency sites. Also, I once heard that Russian women supposedly age more gracefully than American women... yet another myth. Most Russian women over 30 look terrible and are very much overweight. I have met some American men here in Russia and they all laughed because they agreed... Russian women over 30 look like they're 45.

2) Reality: Russian women are more family oriented. Completely true! Russian cultures are very family oriented, especially the women. My wife talks to her sister and mother daily, and holidays you can expect large family gatherings.

3) Myth: Russian women would do anything to come to America. Completely false. Most Russian women are actually very intimidated of the very thought of leaving their home country. Again, they are very family oriented and while they might be intrigued to live in America (or elsewhere), the vast majority of Russian women don't care to live that far away from their family... UNLESS you are a millionaire and want to share your money with their family! I mean, hey, we're all human, right? Heck, I'd gladly sell my brother for a penny -- any takers?

4) Reality: Russian women love Western men. This is actually true. Many Russian women are intrigued by foreign men (especially western men) and find it sexy that you're not from their country. Not to mention, many Russian men drink heavily and are alcoholics, which also plays into why so many Russian women seek relationships abroad. I believe hygene also plays into their decision too -- but I can't be too sure. Perhaps I should ask them why they keep pinching their nose?

5) Myth: Money doesn't really matter to Russian women. This is only true if you're wealthy -- because only then does it NOT matter. Sorry fellas, but your $30K salary will only be fine to a Russian lady if you reside within a Russia village or Ukraine. Outside of that, these ladies have no desire to trade in their $200 monthly flat just to live with you in your really cool trailer! If you plan on marrying a Russian woman, you had better bring something to the table besides your charming personality.

6) Reality: Russian women are faithful and loyal. This is very true from what I have experienced. Many Russian women are faithful and loyal to the ones they love. They are extremely devoted.

7) Myth: Russian women are too poor and don't have the internet. I want to clarify this right now... this is NOT true for the majority of Russian women. Most people have the internet, and if not from home, I can assure you they have it from work and often check their emails at work. This is a common ploy agencies use to have you pay more money to use their mail forwarding services.

8) Reality: Russian people are broke and their salaries are very low. The average Russian woman makes about $200 per month. However, their cost of living is very low here, so think of it as making around $600 per month in the US. Living in Russia has taught me that this country is LAZY and BROKE... notice I said broke, not poor. There is a huge difference. Africa is a poor nation, but not Russia. Many Russians are lazy because -- well, in all honesty, they have no desire to work for pennies a day. Who can blame them?

9) Myth: Russian women are scammers and only want your money. Not true at all. Most Russian women who scam for money on the web are not even women at all... they are men posing as women. If a Russian woman ever asks you for money, 9 times out of 10 it's a man posing as a woman.

10) Reality: Russian women are very strong individuals. These women have been through a lot in this country, so do not make the mistake of thinking a Russian woman needs a man to SAVE her because they don't make a lot of money. They WANT a man, but definitely don't NEED one. The divorce rate is high in this country because Russian women don't have a problem with leaving their husbands due to mistreatment. If you treat them right, they will stay with you forever... but disrespect them, and they will drop you like a bad habit and never look back.

These are just a few things I discovered along the way. Russian women can and do make wonderful wives, but in order for this to happen, a man must pursue this with great patience. It won't happen in 3 months... but if you persist at it and stay in touch with one girl for long enough, then I assure you, it can happen as it did with me! Good luck!!

Marrying a Russian Bride

noreply@blogger.com (Vic) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:30:49 PST

By Ivar Rudi Rudi

There are many women today that want to leave their country to come to the United States. One way for these women to do this is to have someone from the United States buy them or marry them in order for them to leave their country and come to live in the states. This is a way for most of these women to leave behind a world of abuse or neglect and come to a free land.

A Russian bride is just one of the deals that can be bought. Many women in Russia long to come to America and have a happy and loving relationship with a man. This is something that they cannot do in their own part of the world. These women will decide to advertise themselves and have some man buy them for their bride. There are a lot of organizations that do this online and off. If you are interested in finding a wife this way, you will need to be careful and avoid the scams.

If the Russian bride decides that she does not want to be married to the man any longer, she will then be deported back to Russia and will lose her right to be in the States. It is sometimes a game between the man and the women just to be able to live in a wonderful country and have a loving family at the same time.

A Russian bride is someone that has grown up in Russia and now wants to become an American citizen. For this reason, they will allow their bodies to be bought by unknown men in which they will marry in return. These women will have to assume the role of wife to these men and remain that way in order to stay in the United States.

There are many online sites that offer this Russian bride service. When you visit these web sites, you will be able to see the women and find out some information about them. You will get to actually choose the women that you want to meet. After this, you can form a long distance relationship; buy writing letters, talking on the phone and possibly even meeting. The Russian bride may encourage the man to pay for tickets so that she can come for a visit.

After a short time period of getting to know one another, both the man and the women can decide if this is the right thing for them or not. Once decided, the women will then come to the United States to be married to the man. First however, the fee has to be paid to the agency in which she is sold from.

Both parties need to execute caution and be aware of the problems that can arise from this situation. Neither party wants to get scammed and in fact in some cases, both the Russian bride and the man are both looking for a meaningful and loving relationship to last a lifetime.
