Originally posted by Jill It's VERY uncommon for a 20 year old Ukrainian woman to be a virgin. Some are, of course, but they are in the minority. But you know, this has become almost fashionable! There are plenty of advertisements for this procedure in Kiev. I don't know how many people actually do it, though...Or why they do it.... |

Originally posted by Jill Andrei makes a very interesting point. I have heard MANY Russian/Ukrainian women say the same thing: that if you don't have sex regularly past a certain age (say, 25) that you will have health problems. I remember a friend of mine was in the hospital a while back for some kind of sugery for "female problems" (I never figured out the exact nature), and she told me that the doctor had explained to her that these problems resulted from not having sex regularly (she was divorced). A doctor told her this! So this belief is fairly common.... |

But I just am trying to find out what the cultural norms and expectations are. (Like in Elena's book where a man asked the lady if she was hungry and she said no - he assumed it to be so. When actually SHE WAS but expected him to insist!) I have been hanging around Russians for more than 8 years and I am STILL learning stuff! I thank you, (I can't read the font of your country of residence so I'm assuming its FSU!) and any other FSU women who give helpful advice. This is one topic that is hard to ask about in person!

And reaction and behaviour of women depend on your "intentions" ( or how woman sees those intentions at least) So I repeat my question what does mean if you males don't make any "move"?
( even if I was dying about starvation ) Because few question would cross my mind in one ( and te same) second
because it' different in many ways to Russia and to FSU

a) you can;t perform b)she is not attrative to you c) you are not pssionate persone ![]() As for virginity then from my humble opinion women have sex because of love. A persone who managed not to fall in love with anybody to her 25-30s obviouse does have some psyhological issues |

To ask you if you are hungry means just that...no mystery. Men and women have different metabolism's...usualy men will eat more than women. Some people eat just 3 meals a day....others will snack more often but eat a smaller portion each time. I am 190cm's and 90-95 kgs but my Nat eats much more than i do....and she is slim....there is no rule to say that people are all hungry at the same time.......thats why i ask "are you hungry"....or "are you thirsty". Its easy Ellen ethier answer "YES OR NO". ![]() |

If I am attracted to a woman I pull back the rains at first beacuse of respect...wanna be sure it is right for both of us! I have had many times in my life I couldda been intimate.... but I saved myself for a real relationship... I certainly wouldn't jump into bed with a lady on the 1st few dates, most especially if I thought she was marriage material! |

I would expect if she says yes she will have the common sence not to eat too much before our date....so she would be hungry. Cheers

Maybe when initially dating the ladies dont want to feel obligated???? Maybe you can give us a better idea. ![]() |
about that "hungry" issue. I prefer to be invited to restarant because a man wanted to do that but not because I was hungry and he did me some kind of vafoure feeding me
It's just question should be asked in other way ( especislly if you got NO the first time) |
Originally Posted by freebird

In Canada at least they teach us "No means No" - or "No means stop before you end up with your sorry a** in Jail!!" I am curious to hear Ellen's take on this? |

Women who don't like sex--- at least, not with you-- and won't admit it. They have a hundred reasons, but it all boils down to this: They have decided that they aren't attracted to you don't want to form a close relationship with you. And they're LYING about it. This damages your emotional integrity and wastes your time. Apply the three-date rule as a guideline. |
|
I'm that kind of persone who just never could fit into long distance dating business exactly because I "need" several tryes made by male to give him Yes But to other hand if I really mean to say "No" it's such "No" that leaves no doubts. But girls who involed in this dating through internet are learned very fast that such tactic "keep trying" would follow them no where Because that male who did visit them at last ( which is really a lucky chance for girls taking into consideration an amount of those who never make a trip) could just move on because he has not time for such games. |
. My "excuse" is that if I felt "nothing" to a man I didn't play games at all and just said stright - "Sorry boy, all your tries are in vaine". |

The wrong man usually asks" Do you want me to buy something for you?" or "What do you want me to buy for you?" The right lady normally says she doesn't want anything even if wants to give another reply. And the first place in the chart of stupid questions..... "Can I kiss you?" I can only start laughing when hear that. The right man never ask about the kiss, he just kiss the lady. So never ask silly questions or you can spoil everything. |

But here in the west, if a woman says no and you keep trying there can be all kinds of SERIOUS LEGAL PROBLEMS! |

The only being on board is some hottie in bikini, who rushes to offer him a cup, presumably of some grand reserve liquor dated 1801 worth $10.000 the sip. You guess what's next.
But James Bond et similia are fiction, crossbreeds between Donald Duck, Nero Wolfe and Terminator. |

As the forum rules suggest, people should discuss a topic, not a person.

Face it, you can be all self-aggrandizing & self-important ONLINE as you wish. Others were even more so before you. Fact is, when you will hit the ground, nobody will feel sorry, nobody will care and all will be finger pointing at the forest you couldn't see because of the trees i guess. You should know this. Why? Just because one doesn't play James Bond or a charachter from an aftershave commercial, it doesn't mean they are sexually challenged, impotent or mentally unstable. I had a classmate who acted & looked like out of an aftershave commercial (tennis coach & all ) and he was a complete buffoon and the worst match one might wish to any woman. |

I would love to know how much time you spend finding all of the negative aspects of these endearours. Yes we know there are scammers we know that sites make money out of people we know you dont like people that dont look like quasimoto...or make a decent living we know you cant seem to recongnise that ANYONE ELSE has the slimest hope of being happy. we know you think that anyone who has the slightest belief in themselves thinks they are James Bond or an aftershave model. Really just start a thread " ALL THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF FOREIGN DATING" or any dating for that matter. You would save yourself a hell of a lot of time skipping from one post to the other to say the SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER. ![]() |

She didn't listen and chased him until she got him. She then decided that it was time for her to have a baby. The relationship ended shortly there after. THIS type of event tells me far more about her character than some abstract number of partners does.
Of course the guy is equally to blame. This would never have happened if he had not given into temptation. |

Is it possible for someone to have many sexual partners and be a good person? yes, but a truly good person will take into account what effects their actions have on others. If the other person feels used, doesn't that make the other person a user? The psychological/sociological ramifications of the sex act are innumberable. None of us can know every effect of any thing we do. Sometimes the best we can do is no harm. Which in this case would be-no sex. No sex....dang. I think I know what my master's thesis will be on now..... |

Hopefully, IMHO, that will be done without sleeping with every one of them.

If i remember correctly YOU are the one who has been in this "buisness for over 30 years and still NOTHING" |
| A requirement for virginity from either partner seems a similar requirement to needing her to wear high heels. |
| Well then surely virginity is the other extreme? Sexual repression? Not far off frigid perhaps. |
