What percentage of these ladies that meet an American man through a "marriage agency" or online would you say have these evil intentions from the beginning? Do you think it's more then a third? Or maybe as high as 50%? Unfortunately I think it's quite a high percentage.
I think it is even higher, probably 75% if not more. Mostly because, placing yourself on some online agency is stating to the world that (1) you are for sale, (2) you are seeking a better life and a way out of Russia.
I agree 200%.
And the whole story of the Russian men being drunkards and losers was invented by online dating agencies as some sort of reassurance for American men that these ladies really want to "marry a nice guy", and not just immigrate. I think it's BS, and I too hope I'm not offending anyone.
Not to get off topic, but I am glad that someone finally said that Jewel, since my fiance is a Russian guy. He doesn't even drink at all! I have heard that story too many times...It's very sad what's happened to skinsfan, and to anyone else in the same situation. Milena.
