Queston from a newbie

The only thing she can think of is that perhaps the girl was a little shorter than the guy expected.

[quote="barabaika My friend married a woman. After the marriage, she told him about her 3 kids.

No, he did strange things.
His wife was from the Philippines; ..

My name is John. I live in Southern California. The posts that it takes thousands of dollars to find someone real and worth marrying is a long and enduring process. Those posts are true. Since February, 2007, I have been to Russia 7 times and Ukraine 3 times. I would estimate my total cost for these trips to be somewhere around $40,000. I went to meet six different women I met them on different websites. It takes many, many hours to comb through thousands of profiles to find women you would actually want to meet. Steer clear of the really beautiful ones. They are often gold diggers and no matter what they say, it may very well be insincere. Some of the women on these sites are prostitutes. They are attractive, will want you to come and visit, will allow you to buy them expensive gifts, but have no intentions of leaving their country for you.
Then there are those women who just want out. They want out of Russia, out of Ukraine. They really don't care for you but they'll come here to marry you. After a few years, the marriage won't work out. Why not? They never loved you. It may all sound discouraging, but don't let it be. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time, money, and hope for the best. Some good luck wouldn't hurt either. Stay away from women who don't speak English. Just think how hard that would be to teach a woman English! It would take several years for her to learn English, that's assuming her heart is really with you. Remember that these are countries where the social fabric of these countries is unraveling. Religion almost different exist for almost a century. Corruption is rampant. As one woman said to me, "This is Russia. Everybody lies." Anolther womantold me, "Russia is a country without morals." Look for a Ukrianian woman. Ukraine ranks higher on the international ethics index than do Russians. I think I could write a book on my experiences in the former Soviet Union. Take all this advice seriously. Very seriously. I have been to these countries 10 times. I have met hundreds of women on the internet. I have had thousands write to me. Be selective. Take your time. If a woman is really interested in you, you'll know it. She'll reply promptly to your emails. She'll send pictures. She'll ask you questions about you, about your life. I would write more, but it is late at night. I am the voice of experience, of real ex

Do you really think yoiu are an expert in the former USSR? You have been to Russia and Ukraine many times and couldn't find any really nice woman. Isn't it strange?! You wrte about corruption, about the absence of morals in Russia, ets. What is your aim I wonder? To eliminate corruption in Russia or to find a wide? If you think all Russians are immoral why are you still looking for a russian woman?
Besides, dear EXPERT, Russia is really great in territory and in morality and hardly you have right to judge my country.
It is reality that we have some diiculties: social and economical/ But it doesn't meam we are immoral/ Why do you trust those women who told you"This is Russia. Everybody lies." , "Russia is a country without morals."
I want to ask you if people in LA, NE.Washington, Austin,in the the outskirts are the same?! Russia has a vast territory and and here live millions of people of different cultures, family traditions, morals.
As for me I am not neither from Moscow , nor from St.Petersburg. I am from the Caucasus. Our people are very hospitable, kind.
