). Now, I check in to see how well life is for the friends I've made. And I occasionally try to share an experience, or make a bad joke. I've been posting here at RMP almost since it began, and my post count is so high due to the long wait for my family to arrive to me. You will find that you have little free time to post when you have a young son.

. I was born in Zabrze (Slask (Silesia) province) in communist-occupied Poland. Later on my parents got separated, my mom stayed in Poland and still teaches chemistry and physics in Poland, while my dad came to the States and is a supervisor/fix-any-machine handyman at a tool and dye factory. I arrived in the States in 1993 and stayed with my dad, but for a couple of years now have been independent. 
Well, I guess it is a price to pay for shooting from the hip and not going around the bush. 
I also have a son who is turning 12 this fall.
We didn't get along at all then, but on a family vacation to Russia a few years after he lived with my family we fell in love and the rest is history. I lived in Russia for a little more than 2 years with him and now we are both in the states. Yesterday was our two year wedding anniversary! ..... I can't quite proclaim myself as an arrogant SOB but......
Then waited some time. Tried an american agency, no. 2 just meet a nice RM. No. 3 never answered back and with months who past, and still some money at my account, I tried one last time. And thank somebody for that. I hit the jackpot, even it was sometimes troubled water in my head, for so many reasons.

I was thinking it might be a nice idea to start a thread where people can find out about the folks whom visit the Russian Meeting Place. Feel free to add to it to introduce yourself, but let's not clutter it up with extra chit-chat. |

I really like her but she wants me to send her money to come over here and it's alot. That's why I feel I'm being scammed. I know she lives in a small town but she says there are no phones but she goes to an internet club every day. Does this make sense? Help me please. Please send your reply to firepheonix7777@yahoo.com because I am not sur eif I can get back on this site. Thank you for your help if you can!

this is "Jacktar"- real name Ray, I'm not sure how to say my piece so forgive me if I wander. I was married for 27 years to a Chinese lady who decided that I was 'surplus to requirements' and had an affair,[so much for oriental faithfulness]. That was 9 years ago, since then I've held a complete moratorium on women and devoted myself to helping my two sons get on in life. Russia, as a country has always fascinated me, and about 4 years ago the thought of Russian women was brought to mind by my cousin marrying a Ukrainian lady. She dotes on him and is a great cook too, my interest was piqued. Since then I've been 'haunting' Russian sites, and reading all I could though some of it seems contradictory or downright mis-leading. Imagine my joy at 'stumbling' over your site,- I think I've hit the 'motherlode'. I have a few problems though, I've never been able to write to a lady, because I'm 'stuck' in the US till my pension is due. [It was my ex's idea to come here]. I cannot wait to go home to UK, but that won't be till 2007. Even then, I'll have to wait till 2008 to collect all my endowment money accrued here in the States,because of tax reasons. By then, I'll have reached the 'creaky' old age of 63!!! Then, starts the process of finding and buying a house,- it's no laughing matter starting from scratch at that age. I'm old-fashioned in my outlook, in that before you can write to a lady and contemplate marraige, you must be responsible and have a decent home to offer her. That is only fair, especially as she would be leaving her's to come to mine. Futhermore, I read repeatedly, ladies ask for a man with a degree and "athletic build'. Well I only have a Secondary education, though I did some associate degree studies in the Service, and here in the States. Also, I was built for comfort not speed, and due to a couple of industrial injuries to my legs and back, I'm often in pain and sometimes use a stick. To add to this I'm not too hot in the 'looks' department,- I could send a train up a dirt road, yuk. yuk. I've found in life, it pays NOT to be an SOB - rather be humble- you make more friends that way........ So, good people, thanks for reading this 'massive-missive'. What do you think? Should I go ahead with my quest, or give up and grow roses?........ |
, g'day to all you fellow ozzies out there, and I really believe that I live in the best country on the planet. Where the only problem is I haven't found my lady. Become interested in Russia in general in High School because I went to school with a guy who refered to himself as a white Russian. Being the inquisitive guy that I am I had to check out what a white Russian is, and I have been sort of hooked on Russia ever since.
Hello to All,
, small construction business owner (sounds much, much more than it really is), residing in NE North Carolina, 30 minutes from The Outer Banks. My age is negotiable, calendar-wise I’m 44, but I’m still kicking around like mid-30’s. Separated since Oct 04, divorce finalizes Dec 05 (what a Christmas present), and my soon to be ex is German 
(been through the foreign marriage issues on a different level but I am convinced that these issues will definitely offer something for the forum.

So I have been browsing the web for a couple of months, and today i found this site and forum! In one day, I have had SO many questions awnsered and it has been pretty interesting. So, I went to the end of the forums list and placed my own add under western men seeking... Hopefully I will meet someone wonderful. I love the discussions here. As I said, it has been very informative, and helpful. Anyways, I look forward to getting to know you all, and enjoy reading your threads/post on here. If I meet someone, and end up married, I plan on introducing her to as many of you as I can on here or in person because I know that coming to a new country, and culture will be shocking, and I would rather see her smiling and happy, and able to be around others in the same situations. Thanks! Steve |

That is 3 years away. And i should mention despite all he has been through he loves Russia and his family there deeply, and isn't trying to leave. He is just tired of being alone.

He is going to be a code writer and already freelances for very good money by Russian standards. His clients are mostly foreign companies online. He takes the jobs and dreams how best to write the code, and wakes up and jots it down. He remembers every line.
He is HIV+ from receiving tainted blood as a child. He has never been with anyone intimately. We have spent hundreds of hours already online in IM and by voice and each day our bond grows stronger. He is applying for a visa to come to America this summer, and if that fails, I am also preparing to go to Russia, or we will meet somewhere else. He will not take a dime from me and insist on paying his own way. If our chemistry is 10% in person what it is online, I know it is a go for both of us. Did I forget to mention the golden blond hair, and sapphire sparkling blue eyes? Those are small qualities for a true gifted genius who now whispers to me only each night in Russian and takes my breath away. I thought my life was over when I was diagnosed. Now I believe that the best years of my life have just begun. The first time I heard Nick speak Russian to me, I could see angels smiling out the corner of my eye. If two souls in our situation can find each other online, this technology is the true miracle that can work for anyone. However I believe that something bigger than the internet made our match happen. He is so intelligent and gifted I know I have a serious responsibility to help that young man become someone who in time may change this world. That is who I am. I have begun to fall in love with a beautiful Russian who says this is what he wants too. I believe that qualifies me to be in this forum and to learn what I must learn to make our future happen. He will finish school there and we will decide after that what happens. Life is so ironic and funny sometimes. It took the curse of HIV, to lead me to what may very well be the lifetime love of my life. Thank you for reading our story. Samurai Bob Nickolay is 19 now but the best picture I have for him is this one when he was 13. "Âñåìè äóøàìè áóäóò ìîëåêóëû áîãà." "All souls are the molecules of God." - Nickolay V. |
| great site, I just wish it loaded faster and didnt keep timing out. |
