Fire_G. are you just gonna let it slide? Lexscape is white trash! His views of a relationship are totally one sided. The whole idea of women liking a challenge, is not normal behaviour! You should not want a challenge in your relationship, on the contrary you should keep each other interested by respecting each other, and loving each other. Anyone who would call a loving man a wuss is definetly NOT A MAN. And any woman who feels that way, definetly does not deserve to be loved, and most likely wont be! Lexscape thinks game playing is mature, so should I really care about what he thinks about me? Nope

Nope I think this what they mean when they talk about a conversation that generates more heat than light...

Relationships are very complicated things...(or so I'm informed! ) Are you too young for a relationship or gender neutral? Any forum is not for faint-hearted. I like challenging others and being challenged myself at times. Are you here because you'd like to travel to Russia some day?

No relationship is free of problems, granted. But I think a lot of relationships that happen between foreigners and russian ladies are influenced by lack of discernment and sometimes stupidity.

Nor am I too young for a relationship. I couldn't agree with you more about challenges and being challenged. But I did conclude (a long time ago) that relationships were more trouble than they're worth ...with one possible exception. The exception is that in a year's time I plan to move to Moscow and spend a couple of years there, variously learning Russian, working, and seeing the country. And several people have told me that getting a local girlfriend would be a big help in learning/practising my Russki yazik. Although never having had a girlfriend before, I'm damned if I know how to go about it... (I swear that I'm not just one more foreigner coming to Russia to see if I have any luck with the women! I wouldn't even be considering this if it weren't for the fact it would help me learn Russian!)

Touche, the both of you... Suffice it to say that there may be a wider range of situations where a woman would be able to help me. And besides, which would you prefer?

Fire_Goddess Guest	Posted: Mon Jan 16, 2006 4:56 pm    Post subject: I dont know something is strange, how come SPQR doesnt already know russian well? Obviously hes had a long standing interest of some sort, so why not the willpower to learn? Also what country is SPQR from originally? I only ask because I wonder how he didnt get busted by his country of origin for visiting russia during the soviet era?

I only ask because I wonder how he didnt get busted by his country of origin for visiting russia during the soviet era? Oh jeez, my previous post didn't say where I'm from either. Begging everyone's pardon... I'm from Australia, but I've lived in quite a few other countries. Most of those countries are English-speaking, but I did live in Moscow for some three years back in the 1980s. I didn't get busted for doing this because I was less than ten years old at the time. I did learn a little Russian when I was here before, but I never thought I'd come back so I didn't practice/maintain it... Nichevo: I will set that to rights!

Now another question, what were you doing in Russia when you were 10? Your parents took you, and if so, for what reason?

But the reason is nothing terribly exciting: my father's in the Aussie foreign/diplomatic service, and he/we were posted here back in 80s (as, indeed, we are posted here again). That's how I came to live here back in Soviet days...
