That's also why guns are better than women.....

"You can trade an old .44 for two .22s."

and your old .44 won't mind if you go fire off a few rounds with a nice, shiney and new .22

OK, the car thing was bad enough. No way Vika sees the gun analogy

hahaah you guys are nuts!

but i agree with the sentiments. Za Rodiny!

Finding someone who has the same life goals as myself is priceless. As is finding a beautiful woman that can hold an intelligent conversation. :-)

I bet that is a different sort of conversation entirely

10 reasons why guns are better than women:

#10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.

# 9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road.

# 8. If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.

# 7. Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.

# 6. Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.

# 5. A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.

# 4. Guns function normally every day of the month.

# 3. A gun doesn't ask , 'Do these new grips make me look fat?'

# 2. A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

And the number one reason a gun is favored over a woman....

# 1. YOU CAN BUY A SILENCER FOR A GUN

I met my wife for the first time in the USA! She was here with a couple friends. There are thousands of young russian women every summer that get work or students visas here, is kinda one of the thing for college kids to do in the summer.

I met Vika in Kentucky, so I believe you. It was a great thing for us because Vika already had a comfort level with America, and my city, etc. There is so much for her to be nervous about, the new location is just one less thing

I dated several Russian speaking girls way under 40 over the years, and my city doesn't have a very large Russian community at all. The Russian speaking men I know here in town make great sport out of chasing young (all under 30) Russian girls at clubs and on the web. They are here in fair numbers. In fairness though, these guys do date a goodly number of girls that are point 'n click married, or used to be. Some of the guys used to have fun showing me web sites full of married girls looking to hook up with some one from home. One reason I have never been able to relate to or trust the concept of meeting through a service. That is not to say that I have a problem with that, I do not, and know some couples who are very happy after that kind of intro. To each his own.

Brad, you're right. Meeting face to face is the best. As an old romantic, I still believe in love at first sight, but sometimes it takes a while to convince the lady.

Welcome Home. I hope you have lots of rest time planned for Vika. The time change is pretty tough so expect her to need extra sleep and just lots of rest adjusting her body clock. The minimum time for her to start being herself is two weeks and it can take up to 3-4 months for a good adjustment.

Welcome to America, Vika. We all hope you will be very happy here.

Thanks brother. From a rest perspective, Vika is in fact holding up better than I am It still feels new and strange to her, but she has a great attitude considering the amount of change. I am definitely glad that we took the time and trouble to get to this point.

but you can find that anywhere else in the world, why spend all your money on Russia, and/or paying to fly Russian women into the US?

Because pound-for-pound, and dollar-for-dollar, you get a higher standard of quality when you import them from Russia/FSU. Most of the guys who would go to a "social event" here in the U.S. and spend all that money to go "shopping" aren't able to "buy" the same level of quality in an American woman that they're going to get in a foreigner, especially a Russian/FSU.

Plain and simple, Russian women are the best "value" for guys who are paying. (Notice I took the politically correct quote out above?) Sure, there are some "cheaper" routes to go, but they're not going to be as "valuable" an investment, especially down the road.

Every time I think about the money I have invested in this relationship so far...two r/t flights to Belarus, full blown wedding w/live band, caviar, etc... I drive on down to the local walmart and take a look at all the 200+lb. heffers. My spirits pick right up after that knowing I'm doing the right thing.
