I'd met a woman off anastasiaweb.com several months ago and I've been corresponding with her ever since. 'm visiting Odessa later this month and she's meeting me at the airport. I thought I'd been pretty cautious in my voyage into the Western/FSU relationship world. I read a lot, asked a lot of questions here, and just in general did my research. Well today I'm reading through some old threads and someone mentions ukrainebride.net and says it's based in Odessa. Well I decide to check it out, and to my surprise there is the same woman who is meeting me. Only she looks completely different. Guys, I've scrutinized photos for airbrushing or cropping but couldn't tell anything wrong with her photos. It's not like I'm all of a sudden I'm totally unattracted to her but this has been a bit of downer none the less. I was just curious if anyone else had a similar experience.

Surely you realize that most of the pictures in these catalogs are glamour shots and made to look very good. They are not everyday pictures.
When I went to see my girlfriend in Moscow she was more beautiful in person I thought.
Dont let those other pictures fool you.
They may have been taken many years ago and the pictures you like the most perhaps are more recent photos.

Jerry,

I guess it's one thing to conceptualize it and another thing when you actually see it.

I'll let you in on a tip that will make your girlfriend even more beautiful than normal. First, do you understand the term "radiant beauty"? This means when you meet a woman and her beauty seems to shine and set her apart from the boring ordinary people around her. She stands out from the crowd.

You can actually set up the conditions so that this will happen when you meet her. You need to first exchange a lot of emails and truly make friends with the woman. You need to get intimate with her but not in a sexual way. I mean that you need to reveal your inner feelings, tell her about the key moments in your life and what those moments meant to you. Show her that you really trust her and get her to open up in a similar way. By this time she will be very excited at the thought that she will actually be meeting you in person.

This sets up the preconditions for "radiant beauty". When you finally meet, she will be filled with excitement and anticipation. The moment she sees you and recognizes you from your photos she will be thrilled beyond words and when you see her, it will seem like she is in technicolor and the rest of the world is in black and white. This is something that cameras cannot capture.

Of course, if you can't get to this level of emotional sharing in email messages then maybe you have the wrong woman. This goes beyond sweet nothings like "I love you" or risque jokes or even cybersex. This is real intimacy.

I follow you WT. We've exchanged some very deep emails about the past 3 months so we've built a good foundation in our friendship. It just was a little

to see one photo and then see another. I can normally pick out a glamour shot but couldn't tell the difference here. I was just surprised. That was all.
