How do you meet 100's of Russian girls - An alternative view
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Chrismc

Whilst looking around the net today for various things, I came across the following information, which I think is worthy of consideration. I would like comments from anyone who has used a similar method of meeting their partner or who has any experiences of anything like this. (maybe Martyn [Bingism] could give his input here.)

How do you meet 100's of Russian girls without wasting money on expensive dating sites or costly Russian tours?

The answer is quite simple.

All you have to do is put yourself in a position where you will be able to personally interact and communicate with dozens, even hundreds, of young Russian ladies on a daily basis.

Perhaps you’re saying to yourself, “does such a place really exist?” Or, “even if I found this place, how would I communicate? I don’t speak Russian.”

In fact, yes, such a place does exist. You can find such a place in every major city in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, and Kazakhstan.

And no, communication will not be a problem because the place in question is the foreign language department of Russian and Ukrainian Colleges and Universities.

Each foreign language department in each university has hundreds of Russian girls ranging in ages from 18 years old to their mid 20’s. Most girls speak a reasonable level of English and practically all of them are thrilled with the opportunity to communicate with a foreigner.

The instructors of these departments (who consequently are also attractive Russian ladies in their mid 20’s to early 30’s) will happily accept English speaking volunteers who can help teach their English lessons. Class sizes tend to be rather small, as few as 10 and no more than 20 students. Don't worry if you do not have any experience teaching English. You will simply be encouraged to follow along with the lessons until each class leads into a formal or informal discussion.

Since over 80 percent of students in Russian foreign language departments are female, you will have the complete and undivided attention of a dozen or more beautiful Russian girls. Almost all of them are eager to communicate with a foreign man.

Once classes are over for the day the interaction doesn’t end. Often you will get invited to informal meetings with several (and often entire groups of) Russian girls. Soon your schedule will be booked with evenings at cafés, bowling alleys, night clubs…

What better way to meet a large number of Russian girls?

Still not a believer? Perhaps you think it is a super idea, but your asking yourself. “How do I get to a small Russian city, find the university and present myself as a volunteer English teacher if I do not know a word of Russian or the first thing about traveling in Russia or the Ukraine?”

Don't worry, there are options.

One such option is to visit Russia-Ukraine-Travel.com. They provide a free directory of independent Russian guides and interpreters from over 60 cities throughout Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Latvia, and Kazakhstan. You can ask the guides your travel related questions and if you choose, attain their help during your trip. Most guides provide travel services including airport pick-up, city tours, and assistance finding an apartment.

Sounds easy doesn't it?

Many years ago i had a first class recommendation for a few FSU universities and was all thrilled for obvious reasons.
Then i inquired & discovered the pay i'd get from the job, and concluded i ought to better have an extra income if i wanted to go for it, which i would any day, if i were in the right position money-wise.
Yes, on paper the idea is excellent.
But what bugs me is the "ethic" side of it.
According to western standards, if i were an instructor (with the true goal of meeting women, though ) and ended up dating one (or several ) students, that would violate western ethic codes.
Sure, it has & will happen, but it's a gray area which might expose you to serious dangers in the west.

Unless of course you had independent means or had enough wool on your back prior to embarking on the adventure.

Going from working in a Western country to the FSU is one thing, but going back the other way after say working in the FSU for a good time is not as easy as your earning potential to cover all the relevant costs incurred has been dramatically reduced.

Yes you could probably take her back home, but without somewhere to live/stay and/or the funds to finance it all, it is not easy. Maybe the likes of Bing could add his thoughts here and also Randy who is soon to depart to the FSU to work and may have something to say on this section of the topic, however, the main reason to post this was to ask if anyone else had done the same and/or anything similar, as this way of meeting a RW is a little different to what is considered the norm.

If you went over to meet ladies and attended their courses as a student as implicated above in my first post then the ethics situation does not come into it, however, if you went over to work as a teacher then you may or may not have an ethics situation.

accept English speaking volunteers who can help teach their English lessons

I suppose the figure would be that of an unpaid "teaching assistant/aid".
When i postgraduated, many classmates were enrolled as teaching aid or "correcteur" (marker) by tenured professors.
Tenured faculty almost never bothered with B.A students beyond lectures.
Teaching aids, however on no official payroll, were bound by the same code of ethics as faculty.

I had talks going with the university of Novosibirsk & others, but let go for monetary issues. A few FSUWs i told that to (i still might have a couple emails ) blew a gasket, saying it was a supreme honor because that place was like one of wisdom temples in the USSR.
I regret that deeply, but unfortunately money is money.

I remember one American volunteer teacher in my university. I don't know what was his goal while teaching in our university, but he told rubish all the time. And in several lectures there were 3 -4 students left who were patient enough to attend this kind of lectures.
I was among that small group of patient students. It was funny for me to see an American who thinks he is a good teacher and very proud of himself.
But actually all the students thought he is incompetent and quitted with attending his lectures.
That's it. So don't have idle illusions about this idea.

Weather-7 this is not something I am contemplating at all, I am communicating at present with one Ukrainian lady who I am very happy with, but when I came across the information earlier today, I thought it was an interesting concept for discussion.

the idea on paper is very good, but it must be implemented carefully.
and -i think- one ought to better have the right teaching credentials...holding a western passport often isn't enough.
Mind you, i had a couple of these visiting english speakers as teachers when i was a teenager.
They were usually required to have a B.A, but TODAY i can safely say they were inadequate.

I wish i had money enough to go there and teach...
Teaching ( or passing on knowledge ) should be valued in itself also; knowledge ought to be loved first.
Say that someone tells me kayaking is a great, win-win way of meeting women...so all i need is kayaking equipment, right?
Wrong...at some point i'd better love water and kayak itself.
Many say volunteer work is a great way of meeting women, but then again you have to love the work, and better not be there just to get dates.

so, what was this american dolt saying, which you found so laughable?

It sounds like a good idea if you are in your 20s or early 30s. But what about guys in their 40s and 50s?

I had been corresponding with a woman in Novosibirsk who taught English at the university.
Even though we discovered that we really weren't right for each other, we had some small talk of the possiblity that I might one day travel there to meet her.
She indicated that she would be pleased to have me 'audit' some of her classes because she believed it would be helpful to me to learn a little more Russian but also to her students to interact with a native American speaker.
I never thought of it as an opportunity to meet other women (I do not seek anyone in their early 20's - it just wouldn't fit for me). To me, it did seem like it would be a great way to get better acquainted with this woman and her professional quality.
Still, since this thread started, I can see how it would an opportunity for some. I just don't think I'd look at it as a post to be educator, but as a visitor to a classroom (which happens to be full of young, pretty, educated women!).

I think maybe the "payoff" for us older guys is the students would introduce us to their mothers ... it could happen!

How do you say MILF in Russian?! LOL

But really, does anyone know how to say 'sunshine' in Russian. Literal, I think is svet solnytsa (??) but I wonder if there's a better phrase or word.

PM Ms. Smarty Pants or Weather-7. They will know, they are Russia and Belarus.

I think there is also a thread for translation.

Just a small point to remember during this thread...
They're probably all being taught British style english not US or Canadian styles. eh?
(Just for Randy) After all England is alot closer.
And as far as Ozzie... Well no-one understands them anyway!

I found this out from Tanya's english teacher before we were married. The US slang words still baffle them!

Posted by: Spakoyna

I can see why they will hire or allow undocumented teachers myself. Every Russian I have met, interpretors and all I have helped with their English skills. I assure you I am no teacher but am confident I helped all!

Posted by: mistermopar

Almost all schools look for native English teachers,most do not state if they want North American or British English speakers.The school I got the job with is a British owned school.

Ok. Here is my quick thought about meeting a Russian girl locally. If you live close to a larger university they will have a foreign student office.
Find out who runs it..do some volunteer work..and viola -- your in. Every year numerous universities get Russian, Belorussian, Ukrainian, etc... Students.

For Example Nadia lives with 4 other girls from the FSU. All of them are on scholarship. The other girls were dating Americans. How did they meet their boyfriends?

They all had one thing in common. They ALL worked in the foreign student office.

The only reason Nadia wasn't dating someone from that office was she had a boyfriend before she came to the US. And then when that ended she met me.

Wasn't it Jasper Carrot who said that Birmingham was a city of X million people; all with the same speech impediment ??

Anyway, at least we can understand most accents, unlike those poor yanks who have to have anything that is not "local speek like" sub-titled on the googlebox.

Anyone remember that page 3 model who was turned down for a part on Dallas because they thought no-one would be able to understand her accent ???

It always puzzles me, why am I so bad at learning languages???
After all, I can understand Janet Street Porter !!!!

The distributors of "The Were-Rabbit" had to make up one set of special posters because it is considered unlucky to use the word "rabbit" in one part of the UK.

The film title there was "Something Bunny is Going On" ( or "Happening", cant remember which).

Anyway, what's so difficult to believe about a dog with electronics skills and able to fly a sidecar/aircraft combo????

A lot more believable than GWB as President !!!!

One of the funniest things about "The Were-Rabbit" is trying to spot all the film piss-takes in the storyline; all the films have so many levels of humour, you can watch them over and over and still find new things to laugh at.

Ever noticed the titles of the various books Gromit Reads??

Truly, I appreciate your child-like nature.
It's your child-loving nature I worry about!

Just kidding, GG. No offence meant. Ham has that ball...

Do you ever see "The Princess Bride"? So funny on so many levels... one of my favourite films of all time... not animation but has such a cartoon-like quality... it is a skazka!

Posted by: GentleGiant

Oh ! ahahah...

I'll give you a start, the most obvious is King Kong.

These films were originally made for an adult audience, but the humour is broadly distributed enough to appeal to children of 2 and even Yanks, honest !!!
