But I am pretty disgusted with the endless stuff going on here about all the hot Russian women and that was why I made my comment. I am in a different situation from most of my Russian friends in that I have spent a lot of time in the US and know what I'm getting into. I feel sad that so many women marry men they barely know as their only way to escape hardship in their country, marry men who can't speak their language. Yes I know it's what-you-might-call voluntary, hopefully they will grow to love each other, but American women do not generally have to make such choices. And I don't mean to say that all you people are like that because I know there are many different cases, such as AKDiver. But maybe you could think about what you say, think how it sounds to a person like me who knows the women you are talking about.Unless this is just a boy's club here.
You know - on this forum, in several different threads, I have spoken AT LENGTH on respect for women, the need for honesty in a relationship, and related things. I don't think I have much more to say on the issue. Dig around, read it if you want to.

Umm I didn't say I hate prostitution so don't ever go to one
Well, you did say "I think prostitution is disgusting...that's just my personal opinion...I would NEVER be with a man who had been with one ." If there is a distinction there, I'm not sure what it is.

I was just expressing an opinion - i even said JUST MY OPINION.
and, what? You want a prize? We are ALL expressing our opinions. They don't even need to be labeled as "JUST MY OPINION" as pretty much anyone who needs to can distinguish between opinion and fact.

So while you may find some people on this board who think of Russian women in the way you described we do not all think this way. Some of use truly want a partner who we feel understands us and who we want to understand and spend our lives together laughing, loving, and raising a family.
Amen, brother!

I think their reasons for marrying a Western (Aussie, American, British, etc.) man are as diverse as the WM's reason for seeking their potential partner in Eastern Europe, Russia and other countries. In fact I think just about every couple, and every guy has a different story to tell.
Amen, brother!!! Please do not group us all into the "we only want to have sex with hot, easy to control wives, plus prostitutes" category.

And yeah, some guys are just about the external looks of "wow, check these babes out", but then again, the men in various countries, France, Italy, other countries are well known for "checking out the hotties". The thing is, they don't post here.
This is such a farce - as if women, from all countries, do not also check out who they perceive to be hotties. Honestly, it astounds me that the fact that people like to look at hotties is news to anyone.

Anyway, I'm going to throw a little popcorn at AKDiver and get him all riled up..... AKDiver, you're talking about trolls and baiters, but I'd like to give you the ultimate troll and baiter award.... It really did make it to legend status here on VJ, and I admire the brains it took to concoct a story so grand!
Nah...I'll take the compliment and remind you that there is a HUGE difference between posting what was supposed to be, and what many people surmised, was an OBVIOUS JOKE, and picking a fight with a "Russian Mail-Order Bride" comment. I couldn't believe that people took such a post seriously and was amazed at how it caught fire. It just goes to show you, generally-speaking, people are dumber than you give them credit for. (:

I havent heard that since I left home.
I've spent a lot of time in Canada. Probably seen more of it than most Canadians (: I loved Nova Scotia, I wouldn't mind living there if it were not for the high taxes and general socialism. (:

First I think AK is just getting ready to unleash on Slim.
Nah..if I wanted to unleash on Slim, it would have been over his "I can understand why Cam would go visit a hooker shortly before or after he went to visit the possible love of his life" comments. Some pretty twisted logic in there that cost Slim some respect in my book. But hey, Slim doesn't know me, so why should he care? Hint: he shouldn't. (:

How can you truly direct your attention and efforts towards your dates if your thinking about the hooker thats showing up to the room at 2am to get your rocks off. Your mind can't truly be 100% focused on the task at hand and thats to find a woman that you are compatible with and that you might want to spend the rest of your life with. It's like an american couple and they are having problems. Then one of them goes out and cheats and takes time for this other person. How can the married couple take time to fix the problem if one of them is out bangin someone else and putting time and effort into an extramarital affair.
I agree with all of this. But in the case of a truly single person, then I see no issue with a girl (or guy) going out to visit all the hookers she (he) wants. No harm done, and a lot more honest & straight-forward than going on a "date", spending lots of time and money on the pretense of "getting to know someone" when really all you want is to get laid, that's for sure.
Besides, what's the difference between deciding to have sex with someone you meet at a bar simply because you want to get laid, and deciding to have sex with someone you meet on the street corner simply because you'd like to get laid and don't mind paying cash in the process? Finding one any less disgusting than the other is purely a matter of propaganda absorption.
That leave one to argue that both are equally bad - in comparison with the "way it should be", where you only have sex with someone you are in love with. OK, I'll buy that, it's certainly my view, but it is still arbitrary, and completely dependent on one's opinion about sex, love, and probably a few other things. There is no absolute truth involved in such a belief.
Then we move on to the other extreme, "sex is only for people who are married." Again, just another opinion, this time based on the supposed absolute truth of some moldy old text. In the end, it's still just an opinion.
So, in the end, what are we left with? In the general sense, who should have sex with who is just opinion. As a result, some people will have sex with other people in circumstances where we might not do so. Big deal! As long as no one is getting hurt,
and this is the key here, no one else is getting hurt, then what business is it of ours and why should we care? Hint: we shouldn't.
Then we move on to something of substance - having sex with someone else, where it affects a third party in some definite, tangible, usually negative way. How is this defined and measured, and are there degrees of how "bad" it is?
That will have to wait for another time - I need to study for my Russian quiz, which is in about 20 minutes. (:
Cheers!
