Yes I thought so too...Jojo was/is completely naive and innocent to the world of travel. Good thing you talked some sense into her Spice. Just hope she has some sense when dealing with her new interest  |

I didn't know much of the language prior to moving to Russia. Actually neither do many would-be expats. What are you talking about?
Relocating to any place for any reason is a big decision, but people have made such decisions in the weirdest of circumstances and/or reasons and some manage to see success.
I think looking for love and romance, in any place, can very well be the wrong place and reality will bite pretty hard. You normally don't go actively looking for the perfect partner--the right one will just come along. Of course, moving to Russia would give you a higher probability of meeting up with a Russian guy. Well, if Russian guys are you thing you would probably find Russia more tolerable.
Go to Russia, but not to find love. Go to Russia for the love of culture and Russian people and love will find you. |

Have I dated a Russian man? Boy, I married ONE. And I stand by each word I said.
Russian man being the insensitive macho guy? Never met one.
THe worst man to date and marry is the Italian/Latino. They just want one thing from you(and every woman out there!) and as soon as thy get it, you are done. Plus, he can't control his anger.If you ever have an Italian boss, there is a big chance he'll try to harass you right behind his wifenumber5's back.
If you want refined, well-bred, intelligent, spiritual, pure man, then definately go for a Russian guy. Of course you can find a good guy from every culture, but there is a clear pattern you can't overlook. |

What ever you mean with stereotype of Latino, please, I've heard enough of it. I am very glad that you have met good Russian man, unfortunately not all do. It is too easy to find a man/boy ( from what ever country) who is just about conquering every possible girl/woman he can find. For that you really don't have to assiciate with Italians. but Italains can't control their anger? I think that was bit out of limit. All Italians that I've met haven't had any problems in controlling their anger. Russians show their frustration very openly too. But I think that it mostly depends on personality. |

| Men and women are the same every where. Good and bad. Just need to settle with the right one! We all have our qualities and our flaws. |

Actually, I disagree. Obviously, one can find the "right" man or woman everyone. But there are certainl cultural norms and differences that can make a difference in how people view each other as well as their relationship and marriage. Someone who is used to living in a tall apartment building in New York minutes from shops, restaurants and cultural institutions may not like living in Kentucky in the middle of nowhere, just as the average Kentucky resident is not likely to enjoy a typical subway ride to work where people are crammed into the subway train like sardines. Preferences and upbrining make a difference. |

True...but what if you like both or it all...I'd like to enjoy everything...call me spoiled. Kentucky isn't in the middle of know where...but New York is far more stimulating. It's different for different people. Personally I'd like to have a house on some land in Kentucky, a condo in NYC, and a beach house here in San Diego. In fact I'm going to get my lottery ticket right now!  |

Spicey, I don't think anyone wants to be crammed into a subway train, no matter where they are from....I used to ride the subway when I was in NY...Kentucky has lots of things to do here...and I don't think preferences and upbringings has anything to do with it...most people adapt to different environments....  |

As a result of living here, I have access to enormous opportunities - both cultural and professional. When I was looking for a job recently, I had dozens of interviews I could go to. There are hundreds of shops, restaurants, art galleries, coffee shops, book readings, theaters, museums, etc. In that sense New York is like Moscow - it's a large city with opportunities. No Russian man who has lived his life in Moscow will be happy in Kentucky. [/quote] |

Spicey, it really doesn't matter...but, for information Kentucky has all that stuff...we are not behind the times here...  |
