Why searching for perfect women from Ukraine fails…

Dear Friends,

We all know that the search for perfect women from Ukraine can be very difficult and typically leads to failure. The main why this is the case is because there are no perfect women in the Ukraine. There are no perfect women anywhere. So, any search that involves that kind of mindset is doomed to failure from the very beginning.

There are some things to remember when searching for women from Ukraine:

1) Nobody is perfect, Ukrainian women for marriage are not always…

Not ever woman who is from Ukraine is humble, family-oriented, and flawless. Just like everybody else on the planet, some women are not that pleasant or attractive. Many times, dating agencies are fed a “fantasy woman” who looks great on paper but is not so great in person.

2) Forget the mails like “Hi, how are you? I am fine” – deep questions are important

When you are beginning to talk to a woman from the Ukraine, you cannot just ask her a ton of questions about her life, her background, and everything you want to know in the first few e-mails. The only way you are going to find a deep connection with someone is to slowly get to know them and talk to them normally. Any woman, especially an eastern European woman, is not going to take kindly to being interrogated.

3) Be careful – don’t become a victim of Ukrainian dating scam!

Sometimes, you, as a Western man searching for a wife on a dating site, could actually the victim of a scam. There are agencies that are dishonest in their business practices and steal money from men who are genuinely looking for love. If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Be very cautious when choosing the service you use and make sure that they are reputable and “above board.”

4) Be patient – Ukrainian dating needs a lot of  time

I know that men can tend to get a little impatient when they are searching. That is understandable, but you cannot e-mail hundreds of girls all at once. E-mail a few and get to know some of them to see if there is a connection there before you move on.

Remember, when you get impatient you are looking for an “ideal” woman or a perfect woman. Because nobody is perfect, this will make the search fruitless. It is much better to be patient and try to get to know somebody first.

When men are searching for love in the Ukraine, they must be certain to keep their wits about them and go slowly. They cannot get to know a woman in one e-mail, and they cannot possibly find a woman by e-mailing hundreds. Exercise some patience and common sense. When you do that, the woman of your dreams will find you.

Interview with James: his experience with Ukrainian dating

Dear friends,

There are two types of Western men in the Ukrainian dating world, namely:

1)The newbie: This type of men only begin their adventure hoping to find the right woman from Ukraine. These men have a lot of questions, little or no experience, and many doubts.

2)The lucky beggar: those men have found their match through a dating site and looking forward to leading a happy life together with their Ukrainian woman.

James, my reader, friend and just a lucky man who has found the most wonderful woman from Ukraine, is telling you, dear readers, about his experience with the Ukrainian online dating and women.

Here is our interview about Ukrainian dating and love:

Anastasia: Hello James! First, I want to thank you for this interview. This is really fantastic – you are a living example for that it is really possible to find a match through a Ukrainian (rather International) dating service.

Here is my first question to you. Why did you want to find a woman from Ukraine, not America? I’m sure there are enough women in the U.S. who can make men happy.

James: Hello Anastasia… (Здравствуйте, Анастасия… (in Russian))

I choose Eastern Women because in America women compete with men. And Eastern European women are fascinating to me.

I am Italian, French and Polish… I find that I am only 2 generation in America and I am drawn to Eastern European Women. It is the culture and customs that I find attraction as well.

Anastasia: As we know, there are tons of different dating sites and matchmaking services out there. Often, you lose the overview, and it is difficult to find the perfect online dating agency. James, how did you choose the right dating service for you?

James: Models seems to be the best in my opinion… I look at other too…..

Anastasia: Cross-cultural differences are still the biggest barrier in a Ukrainian-Western relationship. The Western men give their best to learn more about Ukrainian women, their culture and mentality. Unfortunately, many of them do not always succeed as it turns out to be quite a challenge for them.

James, you have gained lots of experience in dealing with intercultural differences in a relationship with a Ukrainian woman. How exactly did you learn to deal with intercultural differences while communicating with Ukrainian women?

James: I am very close to this as I am on 2nd generation in America as I said. I understand we live with our customs and our families. This must be taken into consideration at all times… to understand the women…

Be considerate of her customs, namely: learn them how to greet, how to be respectful, what is your role in the date, etc. Parents, sisters, all play an important role in her demeanor. She is shaped by her culture and her family values.

Anastasia: Very often, Western men, who look very actively for single Ukrainian women for marriage, meet dozens and sometimes hundreds of ladies through different dating sites. I do not think it is easy to find the perfect lady with whom you can start a happy family. Dear James, how did you find out that Valentina is the perfect match for you?

James: Valentina and I are very special people, Anastasia. This is very hard to answer. This question of how do I know… I knew the first time I talked to her on Skype. We SMS for 4 hours the first time. We did not see each other. We only talked…

You read my story dear. It was magic. Not all people will have this. But, the biggest thing is courage and do not give up. Keep looking – she is out there. I feel this very strongly. When I knew is when she spoke to me with her heart…not her mind….

Anastasia: Thank you a lot for your great answers, James.

The difference between Ukrainian men and Western men: from Ukraine women’s view

Dear friends,

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about the difference between Russian & Ukrainian women and Western women, but there have been fewer conversations and discussions about a Ukrainian woman’s views about the difference between being with a Ukrainian (and also Russian) man and a Western man.

As we know, the most Western men guess that Ukrainian and Russian men drink too much, do not have the suitable respect for their women. Moreover, it is a known fact that the Ukrainian and Russian men like to have several ladies on the side.

I have my own opinion about Ukrainian and Russian men (I must say honestly it is rather negative). Therefore, I wanted to find out what Ukrainian and Russian women think about their men. I’ve searched on the internet and found some interesting opinions. I wanted to find the anwers to my questions:

- What is the difference between Ukrainian men and Western men?
- What do Ukrainian women miss most about being with a Ukrainian man?
- What do Ukrainian women like most about being with a Western man?
 
Well, I am presenting the two most interesting and detailed opinions about Ukrainian and Russian men (only from a Ukrainian and Russian woman’s point of view :)):

1)

************************************************************************************

From my personal experience, I can say that I agree with the insights of Tanja and Elena.  I was five years with a Russian man together. I made some observations, namely: Russian and Ukrainian men are selfish. Their desires are most important in the world. Moreover, a big drinking problem of the Ukrainian and Russian men is there. And yes, it is true that the Ukrainian and Russian men often have at least one mistress.

I would like to say something in defense of Ukrainian and Russian men. Of course, there are really nice Russian men who love and respect their wives and kids.

But Ukrainian man? No thank you! I can imagine to stay only with a Western man together!

Dating Survey: why are Western men looking for a Russian/Ukrainian lady?

Dear Friends,

the moderators of www.russianmeetingplace.com, one of the most famous Russian and Ukrainian dating forums, made a survey among their users. They wanted to know why Western men are looking for a Russian/Ukrainian lady for marriage. There are several important reasons why women from Russia and Ukraine are so popular on the “mail order bride” market. 173 Western men participated in the survey.

Here are the results of the dating survey:

As you see, the “complete package” of beauty and traditional family values plays the most important role for 115 Western men (66.47% of the survey respondents). 65 men (37,57%) believe that Russian and Ukrainian women will be a good and loving wife.

Another common reason why Western men are looking for a Russian & Ukrainian lady is that women from Russia and Ukraine are more family-oriented  and less emancipated than Western women. 36,99% of the respondents think so.

62 Western men (35,84%) are looking for these women because they believe that Ukrainian and Russian ladies are loyal and will not leave the marriage after the first misunderstanding or family dispute. Western men have a big fear of being left or abandoned.

65 men believe that Russian and Ukrainian women have a strong ability to love. The most men like the sexuality and physical beauty of women from Russia and Ukraine.

In conclusion I would like to mention that the most meaningful reason why Western men are looking for a Ukrainian woman through different dating sites is loneliness. Many Western men are very lonely and dream of a happy family. The sad part is that they cannot  find their happiness in their own country. Therefore, they want to find the woman abroad – Ukraine, Russia, Thailand …. They hope these women can give them love, respect, warmth, and loyalty.

I wish you will find your happiness in Ukraine soon!

10 Most Useful Tips on Finding & Dating a Ukrainian Woman

Dear friends,

That is a known fact that every year, hundreds of Ukrainian women walk down the aisle to marry foreign men. Why? I am not sure but Ukrainian women are known to be fun, dedicated and lovely women, right? That is why foreign men pursue them and want to marry them.

I have written already that most foreigners meet Ukrainian women via online dating sites. Often correspondence between the men with the Ukrainian women goes on for weeks or months before they agree to meet for the first time. There is no hard and fast rule on how long should the initial correspondence be before the first meeting. Generally though, this happens after 2 months of chatting, videoconferencing or emailing online.

If you are one of those men who are interested in finding and dating a Ukrainian woman, here are some of the most useful tips you need to know:

Tip #1. Read about Ukrainian women.

Get to know Ukrainian women as much as possible before you start meeting or chatting with them online. Learn about Ukrainian culture, history and way of life. This will give you an idea how a typical lady from Ukraine lives her life. You can gather information by doing searches on search engine. Type the keywords “Ukrainian dating”, “Ukrainian brides”, “Ukrainian ladies” and other similar words. These will pull up much needed ideas and advices on what you should know about Ukrainian women and dating them.

Read about experiences of men who have married Ukrainian women. You will get useful tips from them on how to make the marriage work. You can also get a real life glimpse on marriage between men and Ukrainian women.

Of  course, I would recommend you to read Ukrainian Dating Blog und Ukrainian Dating Stories by Krystyna. Many useful information about Ukrainian online dating, users’  experiences and reviews are guaranteed.

Tip #2. Age differences.

Most Ukrainian women prefer older men. A 10 to 15 year age difference is acceptable. But usually women like men to be just a few years older than them. Compatibility is one of the deciding factors that Ukrainian women use to choose the foreign man that they will marry.

Tip #3. Find a reputable Ukrainian dating agency.

A Ukrainian dating agency can help you communicate with your woman. The agency helps interprets letters and calls. They can also write email in behalf of the woman. They can arrange video chat. They generally facilitate the dating experience between the foreigner and the Ukrainian woman.

Research the agency before subscribing to their services. Ask for referrals from other men. Choose the one that is most recommended.

Tip #4. Gradual acquaintance.

Meeting face to face is a good idea but you should make the woman emotionally ready for the experience. The natural order of things is to meet online via dating sites or dating agencies, correspondence via email, chatting, phone conversations before actual meeting. Later, once you meet in person and decide on marrying her, you need to secure a fiancée visa before she can come to your country and marry you. It is important to assure the woman that you are in for the long haul. Also, that you know the whole process and are willing to go through them no matter how difficult or how long they may take.

Tip #5. Write a great first letter.

Customize your letter according to a woman’s preferences. It will not be a good idea to send the same letter to all the women that you meet online. Writing a personalized letter about yourself, your likes and dislikes, education, work and other pertinent details will be greatly appreciated.

Tip #6. Use chats, emails, instant messengers, videoconferencing.

Use technology to your advantage to get to know the woman well. Videoconferencing will help you verify the woman’s identity. Some unscrupulous people might pretend to be a woman to be able to get money from foreign men. Teach the woman how to use these programs.

Tip #7. Be honest

At the start, you may chat with a number of women. Later, you need to trim down your choices to a few. Be honest to the women. Let them know that you are chatting with other women as well. The woman might not like it too much if you keep this a secret from her.

Tip #8. The place of the first meeting in person

When deciding to meet the woman, there are three options available to you. One is to visit Ukraine. Second, is to ask the woman to fly to your country. And lastly, to meet in a different country. If you live in the US, you can ask the woman to come visit you. Or, if she cannot travel to US and you are traveling to France for a business meeting, for instance, you can arrange to meet her there.

Tip #9. Money matters.

This is one important aspect of meeting and eventually marrying a Ukrainian woman. Be prepared to shell out $7,000 to $10,000. The money will be needed for travel purposes and the filing of fiancée visa. Of course, you also need to spend additional money for the wedding and then the subsequent Adjustment of Status and Green Card. All these steps require payment.

Tip #10. Avoid Ukrainian dating scammers.

Another money aspect that you need to know is how to avoid scammers. The most important thing to remember when dealing with online dating is to never send the woman money. This will discourage women who are only after making money off you. This will help determine if the Ukrainian woman truly loves you and not your material possessions.

Dear Gentlemen, I hope so much that my most useful and simple tips on finding and dating a Ukrainian lady will help you to become happy together with your special woman from Ukraine

The Price of Ukrainian & Russian Online Dating

Dear Friends,

as you know, online dating has become a much more acceptable thing in the modern, technological age where 1 in 3 relationships begin on the Internet. For men in the West that are looking for Ukrainian and Russian women for marriage though, you need to keep in mind what all the costs you’re looking at are.

After all, if you’re serious about finding the woman from Ukraine and Russia that you want to settle down with you’re going to have to take a serious look at your bank account before you decide that this is the road you really want to take.

The first thing you need to know is that websites that help you find Ukrainian and Russian women for marriage aren’t free, or even cheap. All told you can expect your dating site fees to range roughly $500 in financial fees, but that’s not considering the time that you spend searching for the woman of your dreams.

And once you find a woman in the Ukraine or in Russia that you want to meet you should set aside $1,000 for plane tickets and other travel fees. That’s in addition to the $500 for the expenses during your trip once your plane has landed. If the trips go well and you feel that you click, then you can look forward to $300 for starting the K1 Visa process, and there will be another $400 in visa-related fees that you’ll have to pay. And if you get all that way, you will have between $800 and $1,000 in your final expenses for flying your lady to your home.

That sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? Well in my experience there have been men that spent as little as $4,000 in this process, but some other men have spent up to $40,000 in the pursuit of love overseas.

It will all be down to your personal spending habits, how much you’re willing to spend on your Ukrainian and Russian woman, and how savvy you are when it comes to your travel expenses. There are ways to save and to cut down on your expenses, but I can tell you from the perspective of a Ukrainian woman that you don’t want to be cheap because that will set a very poor tone for your future courtship. On the other hand it’s better to wait till you’re sure you have the money to spend, once you’ve made your decision.

On the Internet, I’ve found a few reviews of Western men who have made their experiences with Ukrainian and Russian online dating and know how much all this costs:

What do Ukrainian men say about Ukrainian and Russian women…

Dear friends,

most of the Western men say that Ukrainian and Russian ladies are the most tender, loving, honest, hardworking, and caring women they have ever met. In their opinion, Ukrainian women are the perfect wives and mothers. We all know this. Furthermore, we know what Ukrainian and Russian women think about Ukrainian and Russian men and why they want to find a partner abroad (s. here: The difference between Ukrainian men and Western men: from Ukraine women’s view).

But what do we know about what Russian and Ukrainian men think about their women? Do they have the same opinion as the Western men? Are Russian and Ukrainian women the most beautiful and loving for them?

From my personal experience, I can say you, dear Gentlemen, that most of the Russian and Ukrainian men have a rather positive opinion about their women. They are very proud that Russian and Ukrainian women are the nicest and kindest women in this world. The only problem is that the men from Ukraine and Russia do not appreciate what they have and do not provide enough good for their women. But we already know about these things and I do not want to talk about this in the today’s post.

Today, I would like to present you two interesting opinions of a Ukrainian man and a Russian man. The Ukrainian man (his nickname on the forum is feosky) has worked in a Ukrainian marriage agency and knows almost “everything” about Russian and Ukrainian women who want to find a man abroad.

Here is the opinion of feosky:

*********************************************************************************************************
Long time ago I worked in a local marriage and dating agency in the Crimea, Ukraine. I will tell you what you need to know in order to understand Ukrainian and Russian woman for marriage . They are not like American woman. They are always waiting something from the man. Until they get married, they wish to have a surprise or gift every day. When a Ukrainian or Russian woman finds somebody, she wants to have all the money he has.

I know it is difficult to understand but maybe it is because of a not very good economical situation in Ukraine and Russia. Anyway, if a Ukrainian lady for marriage (for example) finds a man from a Western country, she will have excessive demands for him. The fact is that if she decides (or better to say she has a chance) to get married him, she must leave her country, learn a new language, and many other things which she need to do. So the woman looks for a man who really can give her much more then a man from Ukraine (especially financial support).

I have to tell you that I spend $200-300 for beautiful women in Ukraine. You can spend this money in one night, but you will not get sex from the woman. This money is not enough to get the woman.

If you buy her jewerly, the next step is that you need to buy flowers every 2-3 days. You then need to buy clothes for her that she wants to have. Western men looking for a woman from Ukraine come to this country and make all these things because they are happy to spend their time and money for beautiful Ukrainian girls (it is like a sex tour). I know this because I have seen this many times. The woman wishes to have more and more; and the man is ready to pay all her wishes (he gets sex as a service in return).

So if you would like to find a woman who is tender, honest and responsible and wants to be only with you, you have to look for her in the U.S.A. because here you just spend your time and your nerve. If you want to have a young and beautiful woman from Ukraine who will be ready to go with you to the U.S.A., you have to show her how you take care of her. So you must do all the things she wants. And you must take care of her and be always near her. If you are ready for this, you must try Ukrainian & Russian dating and you will see that it is works.

PS: sorry for mistakes

I found this report on http://ruadventures.com/forum/. It attracted my attention immediately due to its overdone generalization of Russian and Ukrainian girls, namely: I do not like if some people are very quick to tar everyone with the same brush.

He claims that he lives in Ukraine and has gained a lot of experience with Ukrainian dating, therefore he knows many women from Ukraine who are really looking for a Western man for life. On the other hand, he knows many women who try just scamming the men. The fact is that, in his opinion, Ukrainian and Russian women want only to use (not only Western, but also Russian and Ukrainian) men.

Here is the opinion about Russian women from a Russian man’s point of view:

Krassavchick says:

*********************************************************************************************************I am sure that most of the Western men DO have enough information about Ukrainian dating and have gained a lot of experience with women from Ukraine and Russia. For that, I just hope that the majority of the Westerners hoping to find a wife in Ukraine do not think like these FSU men and can judge for themselves without any generalized agenda.

I have found a few interesting opinions about women from Ukraine and Russia on the Internet (from the Western men’s point of view):
