Hello Everyone,
I never thought that I’d have to set down some rules for discussion but our readership volume is at such a level that we need to set down some good guidelines.
First off..
In case you haven’t noticed by now..
This blog is all about celebrating Beautiful and Traditional Women..
And since I’m in this part of the world my main focus is on Russian Women..
I personally love it when I hear stories of you guys coming over here and being blown away by what these ladies are like..
I also love it when one of you lucky guys writes to me about actually meeting a Russian Girl who is visiting your city or home town.
It’s all good and that is the way I want to keep it.
Nice and positive Gentlemen.
Now will controversial topics and discussions occasionally come up?
Of course they will.
But as long as we handle these topics and each other with a certain measure of respect then I’m a happy camper.
You all know that I’m no fan or friend of Feminism.
So when the occasional Feminist decides to wander into our enchanted forest and start throwing mud around I’m only too happy to let her do it and watch her get filthy to prove an important point.
A point which should be obvious to all of you by now.
Now I really couldn’t care less if they try to attack me..
Because this is no different from any type of Intellectual Ultimate Fighting Match which I find to be mostly amusing.
But..
If and when someone starts to attack the girls here with whom I have come to know and respect..
Then we are dealing with a completely different story..
Anyone who does that will be immediately tagged with a SPAM designation.
Also..
Anyone who tries to come on to these ladies sexually in the hopes that they might read it on this blog and actually buy into it..
Well you guy’s are SPAM’d too..
Anyone who acts a little too desperate or creepy and says, “Hi girls if you want a good relationship with a nice man call or email me at.. ”
SPAM
Bitter Men or Women who have been through a bad experience and have absolutely nothing positive or constructive to say and just want to trash talk..
SPAM
Marriage Agencies or any other type of business for that matter that want to run their advertising here…
Obvious SPAM
Ok I’m glad that’s all said and done and out of the way..
So Enjoy the Blog and Have a Great Day!

Russian Women - The Real Truth 
September 30, 2007 at 8:53 pm
[…] During my life, I’ve heard the word “creepy” thrown around at men so many times, it makes me absolutely sick! I’ve heard it thrown maybe twice at women during my entire life, and hundreds of times at men. It is a gender-charged feminist hate-slur against men. And here it is yet again! On an anti-feminist blog no less! […]

“Well you guy’s are SPAM’d too..

GL, you are being sprinkled on this one on another blog.

oh…and you haven’t ruled out the old fashion dual at noon (sunset). great! Thanks GL.
October 1, 2007 at 4:04 pm
I don’t see what the problem is if you are here to look at beautiful women like my self. By the way GL….any suggestions for me to go when I come visit? I not only want to see BEAUTIFUL women I also would like to some sight….still a typical tourist!!! I’ve heard American’s are only allowed to go to certain places…..
October 1, 2007 at 5:42 pm
To GL:
Understood, and accepted.
Sorry for the snipes and my own part in the ranting. You know how it is.
Thank you for providing this resource. Your observations and ideas resonante with so many of us guys, which is why we hang out here. 🙂
PS. Can we still advertise relevant articles on our non-commercial websites tho? 😉

I think someone is too sensitive by the word creepy.. If you can think of a better word to describe a small percentage of guys who leave bogus “Oh your a beautiful girl I want you to screw me..” type comments then please let me know.
You folks don’t see that stuff in the spam filter but I do.. and some of these comments come from way out in left field.
This post hopefully will tell some of these guys to not waste their time to write something like that.
Let’s be fair about this and not act like offended liberals or feminists. Lord knows there’s enough of that stuff to go around and we certainly don’t need any more.
No problems whatsoever with anyone sightseeing and being respectful.
Remember the Golden Rule?
October 2, 2007 at 5:42 am
Hi Socon,
No problem buddy.. You are more then welcome to share non commercial stuff here that is relevant to this blog if you wish.
Have a good one.. GL

I’ve always been intrigued by the idea that women from less developed countries are better at just being women, submissive and feminine. But lately I’ve been wondering if it’s all just a myth to get Western guys to rescue them from these places. Found this interesting article from a Polish marriage site: http://www.polishmarriage.org/Stories/submissive-women.html
Can you read it and tell us your thoughts?
October 4, 2007 at 5:09 am
Randy,
I read the article you pointed out and I’m afraid you’ve been hoodwinked into nearly believing the classic feminist slander that they like to throw around such as..
“Men who look for women overseas only want ‘submissive’ women”
I found this article to be nothing but meaningless feminist slander..
And the very unusual thing about it was that it was in a website that seemed to be advocating western marriages with polish women. Also why would a “feminist” be posting a piece like that on a site that also has seems to be advocating polish escorts too? You starting to see how twisted the feminist mindset is?
Do yourself a big favor and read up on the following posts that I put up a while back.. It should get you up to speed on what’s going on.
Cheers, GL
October 4, 2007 at 10:22 am
Randy,
the site that you mentioned,
http://www.polishmarriage.org
That site allows people to write and submit articles to it, and sometimes Western women who have NO IDEA what they’re talking about do so. This “Grace” (from New Hampshire) who is the author of the article in question is one such woman.
I may not remember correctly, but it was either her or another American woman who wrote another article on that site screeching about how ‘Poland oppresses women’, and about how Poland’s anti-abortion law ‘oppresses women’. She dolled it up to look legitimate, like she did with this article, but in reality it’s just a load of BS.
I seriously doubt Grace has ever been to Poland. I have.
Poland does not oppress women.
What Grace is upset about is that she may have heard about how they put their foot down on screeching skanks and the attitude of entitlement, and that’s what Grace doesn’t like.
If Grace ever went to Poland, perhaps she would screech even more, because she’d see first hand how men demand respect from women, rather than put up with entitled skanks. No, they don’t demand submissiveness from women, but they do demand respect.
But perhaps she’d stop her screeching and entitled attitude altogether, because that’s what the Western women on my tour did as a matter of fact.
For the first few days many of them acted like skanks with no decency and no manners, because they were used to being in America where often women are not compelled to have decent manners, but after that few days of being looked down on and stared at and being given the cold shoulder in Poland for being indecent people with no manners, they learned manners just like everyone else. (To an extent, that is. They still never got to the level of Polish women in this regard.) But I bet that as soon as they went back to America, they went back to having no manners again :(.
October 4, 2007 at 11:38 am
Okay, I read the article.
The author is an obvious doctrinaire feminist & has an agenda.
I found this stuff from the opening paragraph particularly amusing…
“Men date women, arguably, who reflect themselves and satisfy their ideals of what a woman should be. That is why it is fairly common for men to date women with the same educational or professional background, for instance. It goes without saying that smart men find smart women attractive or that employed men would also want their partner to be professionally employed as well. Imitation is the best form of flattery so it is not surprising that men seek women who are mirror images of themselves.”
This is such a completely bizarre argument. It is derived from feminst-Marxist-egalitarian doctrine. Men do not date women who “reflect themselves” and are “mirror images” of themselves. Throughout history, great Men such as World Leaders, Scientists, Entrepreneurs, etc. have married traditional, SAHM-type women, and many have attributed their success partly to the support of their wives in their homelife, etc. This has been the norm throughout most of human history, except for the last 50s years in the West, which actually represents a crazy anomaly in the greater scheme of things.
As for Men dating women from the same educational & professional background etc… this is something that we have been brainwashed into believing by the feminist-media and popular culture. And IME most thinking Men eventually grow out of this brainwashing.
I’m not here to boast, but I suppose I am something of an intellectual. I am a member of Mensa and have a postgraduate(Masters) degree. I am a professional. [Sorry for sounding like brensgrrl, lol, but I need to illustrate a point here…] The fact of the matter is, a woman’s academic or professional accomplishments are VERY VERY LOW on my list of requirements for a potential girlfriend or spouse. I am much more interested in her level of physical fitness and attractiveness, and things like a pleasant disposition, emotional intelligence/sensitivity, loyalty, character, etc. These are CULTURAL things not taught at any University. For a long-term relationship, I would also look for things like domestic skills, a positive attitude to child-rearing, etc.
All of this academic/intellectual stuff is more like a minor, optional bonus. Not an essential requirement by any means. If I want to have an intellectual conversation, I can phone my stockbroker. Or come chat on these blogs. 😉
I don’t want to sleep with another corporate clone. Such a man-woman contributes nothing new or different into my life. I might as well sleep with one of my male colleagues. LOL.
And by the way, I believe that wanting to have sex with someone who is “a mirror image” of yourself is the sign of a narcissist. 🙂
Sorry Grace, we’re just not buying what you’re selling.
October 4, 2007 at 11:40 am
I’ve been reading your blog for a while now. Just wanted to say I love it! I’m not a Russian woman though. I’m a Caribbean lady, but I feel the same way you do about feminism. Most girls/women that I’ve spoken my views to tell me I am “old school”, “stupid”, “brainwashed”, and many other things I don’t think I should repeat. The fact that I don’t “party” (prefer to read, visit art exhibits, attend jazz or classical concerts, paint, play my harp) or wear revealing clothing doesn’t help either, heh.
One thing I will say though, is all the girls or women I’ve gotten along the best with have been from foreign countries. One of my close friends is Russian, and I LOVE being around her. Such a sense a femininity and it’s refreshing to meet someone who feels the same way about femininity that I do. I agree with you, Russian women certainly have an aura that is MUCH different than American women. I usually don’t watch much television, but I certainly tuned in for my dosing of America’s Next Top Model during a particular showing all because a lady named Natasha was on it. She was Russian, and the way she carried herself was SO much different than the other women on the show. There were times when she was down right disgusted by the other women’s behavior and said “ladies don’t act like that. Ladies aren’t supposed to do that!” When she said that, I was thinking the very same thing as her! Loved that lady.
I could never understand what’s so bad about cooking for a man. I love cooking and I cook very well. It’s amazing how many young American women don’t even know how to cook or even fold clothes. I love cooking for my father and mother and I loved to play my harp for them while they ate.
About feminism, I certainly share the same feelings you and the other men have expressed. It’s tough being a masculine man in America. I used the term “masculine”, because most of the men I’ve met that get along very well with the feminist are de-masculinized. Last conversation I had with a feminist went something like this. She asked me why I wasn’t supporting feminism and my response was, “I can vote, drive a car, get a job, own a company, own a house, a boat, be a senator, a governor, a mayor, a teacher, anything. What more can ONE person want?” I think it’s just human greed kicking in. My best example are those dating sites, mainly American ones. So often do you read paragraphs upon paragraphs about what kind of man the women wants, but RARELY does that same women ever write about what she’s bringing to the table. Basically you give, and she takes.
I am in no way bashing ALL American women, because there is always an exception(I say this because there is always some woman that jumps on here saying they are an “exception”), it’s just there aren’t enough of those exceptions. All the mothers that were “super” were the ones that didn’t own law firms or making a heap load of cash. They were the ones that LOVED their family. They cherished not only their children (which sadly, quite a few women do) but also their husbands. This current society, from what I have seen, isn’t teaching young women to be mothers at all. That is my personal observation and feelings, but what do I know. I am only a 19 years of age.
My apologies for typing so much, I just had a lot to say, but didn’t say it a while ago. I hope this doesn’t go down as SPAM though.
October 4, 2007 at 11:40 am
Grrr… sorry for the italics throughout… The quoted portion ends at “mirror images of themselves”. [1st long paragraph]
October 4, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Well said, Socaon. I would never date a woman with the same educational background that I have. Far, far better to marry a nice, pretty waitress than some harpy with a Ph.D.
October 4, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Oops, I meant “Socon”
October 6, 2007 at 2:08 am
I’m sensitive by it because it is representative of the double standard that exists in Western society that when men say these sorts of things to women, the men are considered “creepy”. But when women say these sorts of things to men, the man who it gets said to is considered “lucky”.
Usually I do not use “appeal to popularity”, but in this case, I put up polls about this issue on 2 MRA forums, and the result of the polls was that the majority of the MRA’s polled on both forums agreed with me that the word “creepy” should not be used with regard to men because of the word’s involvement in the double standard that exists in Western society.
What would probably be best is to stay away from labels/qualifiers in this case, and just simply list the statements that you mentioned and say: “Statements such as I described will not be tolerated on this blog, will be deleted, and the posters of said statements will be put on the spam list.”
That will actually probably be even more effective, because the emphasis is put on the undesired behavior rather than on an external label.

Definitely not spam Zoey. Very refreshing. Please type more.
And by the way, if you don’t mind my asking, were you born and raised in the caribbean or in the U.S.?
It intrigues me how the < 1 in a 1000 Western Women stay sane in this toxic culture. Especially the youngest generation.

Here, here brother. 😀
October 6, 2007 at 3:06 am
Luke, you’re buying into the politically correct liberal university BS, where every word is a minefield, and a reason to be sent to a reeducation camp.
Everyone knows what creepy is. If your definition varies slightly from mine, so be it. That’s what makes the world go round. But don’t tell me what words I can and cannot use, because that attitude is just an ironical reflection of the liberal worldview that you’re railing against, but have absorbed with your mother’s milk.
October 6, 2007 at 8:54 am
Zoey,
Love your post. What wonderful insight for someone so young. You’ve hit right on the head.
What I will say is that feminism will ultimately backfire. It is decaying, and I can see its demise coming. Love is not selfish. In a relationship, one that is nurturing to both parties involved, it takes giving and receiving in an intimate way. With feminism, it is as you say, one gives, the other takes. Selfish to the core. And as such, relationships fail miserably (note high divorce rate of this country) and is unstable. Looking at it from another perspective, throw leeches on a person, and pretty soon, one gets sucked dry to the bones. Doesn’t benefit the leeches nor the host in the long run.
Best relations are between men who are masculine and women who are feminine. Old school is the best school. And its really funny how you are called “brainwashed” when its really the other way around.

Here’s an article written by feminist Maureen Dowd admitting the illogics of feminism.
-M
October 6, 2007 at 12:27 pm
That was a terrible article.
It hardly showed the illogic of feminism per se… I only read half way.. but it was more like… “lets still avail ourselves of the ‘benefits’ of feminism, and also take advantage of the benefits of chivalry, get men to pay, etc.”
Terrible, terrible article.
October 6, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Well, I agree that there is still a good dose of feminism that she argues for; nonetheless,what I gathered from the article was that feminism was not working.
For example there is this line from Courtship:
I knew things were changing because a succession of my single girlfriends had called, sounding sheepish, to ask if they could borrow my out-of-print copy of “How to Catch and Hold a Man.”
In the article on Money:
The old way still holds – and that is for the man to pay for dinner.
“Now dating etiquette has reverted. Young women no longer care about using the check to assert their equality. They care about using it to assess their sexuality. Going Dutch is an archaic feminist relic. Young women talk about it with disbelief and disdain. “It’s a scuzzy 70’s thing, like platform shoes on men,” one told me.
“Feminists in the 70’s went overboard,” Anne Schroeder, a 26-year-old magazine editor in Washington, agrees. “Paying is like opening a car door. It’s nice. I appreciate it. But he doesn’t have to.”
Unless he wants another date.”
On Power Dynamics:
“He had hit on a primal fear of single successful women: that the aroma of male power is an aphrodisiac for women, but the perfume of female power is a turnoff for men. It took women a few decades to realize that everything they were doing to advance themselves in the boardroom could be sabotaging their chances in the bedroom, that evolution was lagging behind equality.
A few years ago at a White House correspondents’ dinner, I met a very beautiful and successful actress. Within minutes, she blurted out: “I can’t believe I’m 46 and not married. Men only want to marry their personal assistants or P.R. women.”
I’d been noticing a trend along these lines, as famous and powerful men took up with young women whose job it was was to care for them and nurture them in some way: their secretaries, assistants, nannies, caterers, flight attendants, researchers and fact-checkers.”
You HAVE to love this line:
“So was the feminist movement some sort of cruel hoax? Do women get less desirable as they get more successful?” (YES YES YES)
Mr. versus Mrs.
Here’s another sign of feminism fading:
“Time magazine reported that an informal poll in the spring of 2005 by the Knot, a wedding Web site, showed similar results: 81 percent of respondents took their spouse’s last name, an increase from 71 percent in 2000. The number of women with hyphenated surnames fell from 21 percent to 8 percent.
“It’s a return to romance, a desire to make marriage work,” Goldin told one interviewer, adding that young women might feel that by keeping their own names they were aligning themselves with tedious old-fashioned feminists, and this might be a turnoff to them.”
Under Movies:
Another indication that men and women will never be equal –
“In 2003, we had “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” in which Colin Firth’s Vermeer erotically paints Scarlett Johansson’s Dutch maid, and Richard Curtis’s “Love Actually,” about the attraction of unequals. The witty and sophisticated British prime minister, played by Hugh Grant, falls for the chubby girl who wheels the tea and scones into his office. A businessman married to the substantial Emma Thompson, the sister of the prime minister, falls for his sultry secretary. A novelist played by Colin Firth falls for his maid, who speaks only Portuguese.
Art is imitating life, turning women who seek equality into selfish narcissists and objects of rejection rather than of affection. (So true!!)
It’s funny. I come from a family of Irish domestics – statuesque, 6-foot-tall women who cooked, kept house and acted as nannies for some of America’s first families. I was always so proud of achieving more – succeeding in a high-powered career that would have been closed to my great-aunts. How odd, then, to find out now that being a maid would have enhanced my chances with men. ”
So there you have it – illogics of feminism and cheers to its ultimate demise.

By the way, I was at a ballroom dance yesterday. A friend of mine commented how beautiful a girl was and we’re not seem her before. Turns out, she is half Russian and half Italian. Feminine with all the curves in the right places. Anyhow, she gets all the guys attention. Just goes to show, men prefer feminine women.

October 6, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Manaoah,
Fair enough. I got spaced out by the time I got about half-way through… it was terribly written. Or maybe I’m just spaced out today 🙂
October 6, 2007 at 2:11 pm
The last bit was rather annoying…
“Having boomeranged once, will women do it again in a couple of decades? If we flash forward to 2030, will we see all those young women who thought trying to Have It All was a pointless slog, now middle-aged and stranded in suburbia, popping Ativan, struggling with rebellious teenagers, deserted by husbands for younger babes, unable to get back into a work force they never tried to be part of?
It’s easy to picture a surreally familiar scene when women realize they bought into a raw deal and old trap. With no power or money or independence, they’ll be mere domestic robots, lasering their legs and waxing their floors – or vice versa – and desperately seeking a new Betty Friedan.”
October 6, 2007 at 2:14 pm
Okay, okay… there is a fair dose of sense in there…
But a lot of non-sense too…
I just space-out when I read something written by someone with that sort of tone. Overly sensitive maybe…
October 7, 2007 at 5:21 am
Hi Zoey,
I really liked your post. And for a young girl who is only 19 years old you have something very special.
You have a positive identity..
Don’t ever underestimate this and do everything you can to build upon what you already have.
I’m actually very happy that you decided to make the statements that you did on this blog. And I hope you will also go forth in the world and share with other young women the happiness and peace that I believe you carry within yourself.
On top of all of that.. Please keep on posting!

I have to agree, the notion that men (or women for that matter) look for “mirror images” of themselves is total nonsense. Worse still is the notion that they SHOULD.
Many of the most successful relationships I’ve ever observed did not involve “equals” in terms of education. In fact, I can not think of any.
What must always be remembered is that:
EDUCATION DOES NOT EQUAL INTELLIGENCE.
October 16, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Manoah, I think the major problem is that it has become so entrenched, and the damage it has done to society so severe, that we will only start to wake up in a a few decades time.
The warning signs are there though. There is a revolution stirring up amoungst men. Its going to get to the stage where men are going to reject relationships entirely. Not the average run of the mill wimp, the blokes who are succesful in life and business.
We are starting to see more and more of it. Men who refuse to marry. Men going abroad to find wives. Men dating only foreign women when at home. Men studying pick up artistry. I look just at my circle or friends, most who I have known since school. They are so jaded when it comes to women, some have flat out said they will not marry.
I was fortunate enough (perhaps unfortunate) to have travelled a lot. I have seen and dated eastern european women and South American women.
Dating a western women is no comparision. They are selfish, spolit brats who fear being women. How can you love a women who does not like being a woman?
October 17, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Sorry for the late replies everyone! I really should have checked back here sooner.
to socon: Here’s the kicker. I was born and raised in The Last Frontier aka. Alaska. I’ve only been to the Bahamas a few times, but I haven’t actually lived there. I love it here.
to rw_man: Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean so much to me. I’m sure I will grow even more from speaking to all of you. You’re doing wonders with this blog, and I wanted to commend you for that. Keep up the fantastic work!
The feminist movement will implode eventually, but I’m tired of feminists always insulting me. They usually call me things like “little girl” and other stuff like that because I am 19. Slowly they start nit picking my appearance. I dress conservatively (I don’t have all my back and stomach out, which seems to be a trend amongst American women) and feminine. They say I don’t become a “woman” until I am over 30 and deeply involved in a career. Another thing that sets them off is when I say have no problems marrying young if that special man appeared in my life.
“You don’t even know yourself yet!” “Marriage isn’t EVERYTHING!”
“You’ll be changing so much!”
“You won’t be able to travel anymore” were just some of the things they threw at me. Since when does one need to be over 30 before they know themselves? There are quite a few lonely 40 year old women that are “still finding themselves”. I hope I wasn’t out of line to say that, but it certainly is something I’ve observed and have witnessed first hand. When you get married to the right person, it’ll beat anything you could ever have in the single life or dating world. I don’t think a lot of feminists understand that. You have one special person to grow with, learn with, cry with. Personally I’d rather spend my life with a man who I can love and cherish than spend years on countless dates with many men.
After a while, dating in the West becomes numbing not only physically, but emotionally.
There is something I believe and always tell myself, whenever I am in opposition to my views and it is this:
A man is strong enough to protect me from animals and even other people. I may not be as physically strong as him. I am not able to lift heavy things like he can, nor do I have the strength to fight wars like him. However, there is one person I will do my hardest to protect him from. Himself. I was built to not only nurture his children, but also him.
October 17, 2007 at 5:20 pm
Zoey I must be doing something right if a fine young lady like yourself decides to write a fine piece of social commentary on this blog.
Your powers of observation are keen and steady when you talk about Feminist American Women in their 30’s and 40’s who are staring at nothing but a Black Hole for the rest of their lives.
Sad.. Tragic.. Pointless..
As long as you understand the big picture of what family is all about then all of your decisions in life will be guided accordingly and I trust that you will do just fine in building a foundation of love and warmth that will be much much bigger then yourself even if you are creator of it.
And in the really big scheme of things I believe that is all anyone can hope for.
Women either choose to deny Love or embrace it. You’ve heard all the excuses for denying it and you will continue to do so.. Let’s just hope that the clock doesn’t run out to quickly on the ones who still have a chance to wake up.
Please continue to grace us with your insights My Lady.

October 17, 2007 at 10:06 pm
Zoey,
”They usually call me things like “little girl” and other stuff like that because I am 19.”
They feel threatened by you. You are more secure in your identity than they are, and your values are the direct opposite of the one’s they have based – and most like messed up – their lives on.
Remember, people who berate others are only showing their own insecurity. Especially if its someone much younger that them. Your comments here show a level of maturity far greater than most 20 and 30-something “women” I know.
Do not allow these people to influence you.
”“You won’t be able to travel anymore” were just some of the things they threw at me. “
Nuts. I travel every chance I get. I look forward to traveling with my future wife (before the kids come, anyway.)
Why can’t a married lady or one in a serious relationship travel? Do they have to be single to travel? Are these women going on sex tours? Bizarre.
”After a while, dating in the West becomes numbing not only physically, but emotionally.”
You hit the nail on the head. Studies have shown that promiscuous females are incapable of forming stable relationships later in life.
“However, there is one person I will do my hardest to protect him from. Himself. I was built to not only nurture his children, but also him.”
Zoey: you, like the Russian girls, are proof that there is hope for humanity yet.
As another fine lady here recently said, the price of ladies like you is “above rubies”. Be sure you choose a worthy male specimen to begin with though.
October 17, 2007 at 11:42 pm
Thanks once again everyone. 🙂
Socon: It’s ridiculous that they think marriages end travel. That is such a compliment to hear from you! Thank you so much! 🙂 It’s a sad day when I see more articles about dating and sex than family and marriage. Feminism is killing this society in more ways than one. What feminists need to understand is that there is no such thing as “equality”. Not even in nature. I think they interpret “neutrality” with being “equality”. However, everything depends on something else.
rw_man: Thank you as well. 🙂 You are absolutely right. They either embrace it or deny it. If they choose to deny it they try to justify it with so many things; excuses. A lot of my observations came from simply listening and watching how they addressed men. They demanded to be treated like “The Queens they were” but in turn treated men a little better than a peasant. That never made much sense to me, but either way it was disrespectful behavior.
Manaoah: I can’t believe I forgot to mention you! Thanks also for the compliment. I like what you said about the leeches. Very funny, hehe.
I just try to be the best, dare I say, lady and person I can be. I know I represent not only myself, but my mother, and Grandmother. Both of them are Caribbean by the way. They were the ones who raised me to be the person I am today and I am truely blessed to have them. My grandmother never went to high school, but she did her very best for all her children and her husband. In fact, she worked in a hotel for many years. 🙂 She LOVED taking care of people and she worked very hard. A lot of her ways I picked up and are so ingrained in me that I sometimes don’t know where they come from, hehe.
Sorry about the history lesson, but I just wanted to say a little about how I became the person I am. I am willing to expand on it if you are interested.
I can’t wait till more updates are made to this blog. I love reading the entries.

Zoey,
I am so happy to hear from such a great girl as you, if only to know that people like you do in fact exist in the US!

Doamna,
Thank you your compliment, it means a lot to me. I still have more maturing and growing to do, but I am eager and excited for it. It’s a pleasure to meet you Doamna(love that name by the way), same goes with everyone else. I am happy and honored to meet all of you.

Doamna was a heroine in Romanian folklore by the way.

Thanks socon, I didn’t know that.
October 27, 2007 at 11:18 pm
I didn’t know that either. In the Romanian language, Doamna is used as Mrs., for example, Doamna Petrescu – Mrs. Petrescu. I’m curious about the heroine, though…
October 28, 2007 at 12:45 am
Hmmm… IIRC said individual was called Doamna Neaga.
So what I assumed was a first name seems actually to be a title :!
October 28, 2007 at 12:50 am
Okay yeh… it’s “Mrs. Neaga”. Silly me.
Couldn’t find anything online except a short tidbit on wiki… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doamna_Neaga
October 28, 2007 at 3:51 pm
I’m not quite proficient in Romanian folklore yet, so I’ll look up Doamna Neaga anyway… (Doamna grins)

Doamna… I’d be interested in inviting you, Zoey, and other like-minded Western females over to my blog to share a bit of wisdom.
Help us (lost cause) males out a bit.
Let me know if you’d be interested 😉
October 29, 2007 at 7:47 pm
Be happy to, Socon! I have to confess, out of curiosity, I stopped by today and was tempted to give Mr. Skywalker a piece of my mind, but thought I should wait for permission to intrude.
October 29, 2007 at 9:00 pm
Doamna… feel free.
Open house there 🙂
October 31, 2007 at 10:34 am
Mr.Socon, I never knew you had a blog. I’d love to read it. Do you have a link to it by chance?
I usually don’t post on blogs because I always seem to be the one who gets flamed, teheh. I suppose my views don’t sit well with many folks. Especially the women.
October 31, 2007 at 11:59 am
Zoey, just click on Socon’s name, it will take you to his blog.
October 31, 2007 at 8:37 pm
Bring it on Doamna.
November 1, 2007 at 12:59 am
you would like that, Luke? I await your next faux pas.

Wow, what have I missed all month?? 😉
Just popping into this discussion to say that I married at 22, lived in Germany for three years, then returned stateside with my husband, where we continued to travel very happily even after the birth of our daughter three years after returning. We didn’t really stop travelling until our kids were into their teens, and then only because of their commitments.
I have to say that the wanderlust does eventually leave. You come to appreciate the quieter comforts of home and hearth. One of my most cherished memories is the evening the four of us sat around, husband and kids engrossed in books and I in my knitting, and I thought, “‘Snapshot’ this moment – this is what makes having a family worthwhile.” Four people, distinct human beings, yet related not only by blood but also by interests and tastes – close to heaven.
This is what feminists are missing out on. This is what Russian (and, apparently, Polish) girls understand with every fiber of their being. This is why you men should appreciate these Eastern-European women, and why American women will never really succeed until they rediscover the true meaning of home.
(Incidentally, I’m an Orthodox Christian, and my priest and his family are from Romania. Very sweet people, the wife very feminine – despite being an M.D. – and the priest, despite his Ph.D. in theoretical physics (!) is still one of the most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. I’m convinced it’s because this family understands the importance of home, and celebrates having children, that they are as wonderful to know as they are.)

Hello I would like to comment on your company’s approach towards your clients in regards to assaying their individualism, compatibility, flaws and strong points. I give the approach (psychological profiles) high marks. When I encountered your approch to help someone find a compatible partner on your website I was quite skeptical about it. But, after reading different psychological profiles and examining wider parameters of your descriptions of myself, I was totally flabbergasted how close you were hitting home about me. I would like also to add that the woman on your site are more realistic than the other sites. Cheers to All Russian womens and keep up the good work.

Hello Russian Bride..
I think I’m equally flabbergasted by your comment about what I’ve written 🙂
Thanks for joining us and giving this site your support. It’s especially noteworthy when Russian Ladies like yourself make the comments that you do so please continue to do so!
Cheers GL

Hey there, I am trying to find studies about the fact that older Russian women all wind up looking the same and came across this. What do you think? Do you find it strange that the Babushkas all wind up looking so similar in terms of faces, fashion, and movement?
April 20, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Jay, they’ve had extremely difficult life.
Many have peasant origin which is Middle Ages compared to Western farming; many have passed the war. They survive on miserly pension, and often from the kitchen garden. They may be forlorn by relatives, or refuse help “for you the young need it more”, or save it instead of spending, being used to ascetic economy.
Lack of resource to spare and care for health & beauty, the diet of simple carbs, the tradition of self-abandonment for family and the write-down from womanhood after grandchildren are the main reasons why Russian women of today’s grandmotherly generations – with rare urban exceptions – can’t be called “old ladies” or “women without age”.
Have you read “The Three Spinners” by Brothers Grimm? For one woman to be young and beautiful, some other has to redeem. For the West, it’s legions of Asian assembly workers. Most Russian Babushkas are de-facto the nannies and housemaids of the family.
It’s only recently that we can buy Western-quality home utensils, and not all of them. In Soviet times, it was visible how cleaning and digging led to radiculitis, laundry – to arthritis, veg peeling and primitive detergents – to skin dried and dyed like desert soil; standing by the stove – varicosis in the legs and capillary nets on the face; constantly tasting the fatty and bizarre food of traditional cuisine – obesity (consider also not leaving the house much).
Ageing is a fearsome image in the Former Soviet Union.
Sincerely,
Comrade Natalia
