Russia girls are amazing!

[slim 1,534]

I'm not in Russia... I'm in NYC. And i actually dislike a lot of things about it. That's why I'm leaving for Russia.

Stay in Russia, eekee. You'll be much happier. My wife has been here about a year-and-a-half, and she's still not happy with our lifestyle because she can't basically go out to see European DJs, go shopping, and go to art galleries. If you're able to do that now, then keep on doing it. Don't look back. With any luck, maybe you'll see her there someday too.

That's where I keep telling my wife to go! (Russia, not NYC.)

I actually have some friends who immigrated to Connecticut (Stamford) from Russia about a year ago who are about to go back because they can't stand it here. I really hope that Ira will be happy here with me. This country has so many problems that I'm not often happy here (but, then again, I also watch way too much news and get way too involved in political discourse).

Of course, I'll do what I can for her, but changing America is really slow work...

If you're in NYC I can see why Russia looks so good!

You and I don't see eye to eye on the NRA sc, but on this post...WORD!

Hey brother Mox, whenever I can get you to back me on something...I take it!

This is an interesting thread.

My father married a ukrainian woman 21 years his junior about 8 years ago. Although she came to the states on a K1 visa, she can't understand why I would want to marry a Turkish man (or any man) who didn't make atleast $100,000 a year. She actually told my father that she thinks I "could do better." The nerve. I quickly put her in her place and reminded her just how she got here.

And did I mention that she doesn't work and has a full-time live-in nanny to take care of her and my father's two children? Ooooh, don't get me started.

Your father's getting something out of the deal. I think I know what it is. As an aside, a lot of Russian women travel to the Turkish resorts and often encounter the unpleasant and crude advances of some Turkish men. I suspect that may influence her judgment of your boyfriend.

Very true. I couldn't figure out why I was getting five requests on facebook from strange turkish men who wanted to be my friend until i realized the same thing was happening to all of my Russian girlfriends.

I sure hope he's getting something out of the deal - and it's certainly not a meal on the table because she doesn't cook.

P.S. I know of a lot of Turkish-Russian couples, (including my father's wife's best friend) and my fiance's neighbor...it's always going to be a mixed bag!

I think it's interesting how as humans we tend to categorize everything, especially other humans. Even this thread, "Russia girls are amazing." Sillyness

And besides, Turkish men are HOT...he he he.

Oh man, I'm such a hypocrite.

Now you can rename this thread "Russian girls are not all wonderful" My wife doesn't care about fancy stuff. I have to push her to buy quality of quantity. She always tells me she is a simple woman and only needs simple things. I always have to put money in her purse without her knowing. When I see her look at things and I can tell she likes them I will go back in a few days and buy it for her. (thank you god for my wonderful wife)

I've heard these stories too. They don't take no for an answer when you tell them you are not interested. And they call every Russian woman "Natasha" at the resorts. (Which I heard is their way of referring to you as a #######.) Alla told me they even, have the nerve to, do it in front of you when escorted by your husband!

No one said anything bad about RUSSIAN girls... just Ukrainian ones.

Wow, that is awful. I never saw anything like that and I lived in Turkey for 5 months and have visited several times. Then again, I'm American, not Russian. I also wasn't in any of the resort towns/cities. In my experience, all Turks were incredibly polite and hospitable. I was always with my Turkish fiance, so perhaps I would have had a different experience if I were a tourist - who knows. But having said that, even when I was alone in Turkey, walking or taking the bus, etc., I never encountered a single problem. I actually thought that Turkish men were quite a bit less confrontational and harassing than American men. Just my experience. I'd venture to say that the resort culture is a bit different as they are constantly encountering foreigners and tourists. My fiance also speaks poorly of the people from this area of Turkey, but again, I hate stereotypes!
