Filipina Eyes asked:

As a online dating webmasters, I get emails asking me how to detect a scammer. It is tough. When a member joins a site, they don’t put in their profile, “hey, I’m joining so I can try to scam money from other members”. Only after they try to commit the scamming deed do we know their true intentions. When that happens, it should be reported to the webmaster.

The following list was my guideline when looking for online dating love. Each person’s judgment varies and ultimately are responsible for their own decisions. The following has no guarantees, but if it works for you so be it.

1. Don’t send money to a person you are getting to know. During the getting to know each other stages, money should not be a topic. My wife never asked me for a dime during our courtship. Only after time invested in getting to know each other and marriage was discussed did we talk about expenses. Major financial decisions should be reserved for when the relationship is beyond the get to know each other stage and is heading for marriage. Only you can decide when that is.

2. Time is your ally. Most scammers do not like to exchange a lot of emails when their main objective is to get money. They want to get as much money in the short amount of time they can. In other words, they usually are not into long courtships, not unless that courtship includes you sending money on a regular basis.

3. Template letters or emails is usually a sign. If an email seems like it could of been copied and pasted to send to anyone, a red flag should be waving in front of your eyes. If they are not at least addressing some identifiable information about you when replying to your email, be careful.

4. Chatting — this is not the case for all, but I have to address it. Most scammers want to get you in an intimate conversation as soon as possible. They love to invite you to chat knowing they can pull at your heart strings in real time and learn if you are a mark or not. Personally, I would want to exchange several emails and even letters before chatting. There may be one exception to this, but I would still limit my time. If I suspected the person’s photo may not be who they say they are, I would want to chat with a webcam, but only do so for 5 or 10 minutes. Again, I’d rather invest time to getting to know each other by email or letter and if the other person is interested in you, they will also want to equally invest their time.

5. Endearments — why would anyone be calling another person, honey, sweetheart, lover, etc, within a few emails or within a short amount of time? First, it is disrespectful. When I was courting my wife and if I would of called her sweetheart after only a few emails she would of walked away. She doesn’t care for that type of arrogance and would take it as an insult to the Filipino culture. Respectful Filipina ladies are aware of the stereotypes and any man who tries to exploit another lady based on misguided cultural believes is not a gentleman. The same goes for ladies. If they are calling you honey, sweetie, etc, within a few emails or while chatting early in a relationship, I would be careful. It is not appropriate or the right time. If you are calling someone sweetheart early on in a relationship and they happen to be a scammer, you just made their job easier. Use words that is appropriate for the relationship stage you are involved in out of respect for their culture and to protect yourself from being a mark for a scammer.

The above is not all inclusive, but may help those who need some guidance. With that said, there are no definitive rules when it comes to love or courtship. Ultimately, common sense needs to prevail and only you can decide what is and what is not appropriate for you. With that said, I still say: don’t fall for any story that sounds too good to be true, don’t send money during the get to know each other stage of a relationship (unless the expense is minor and you decide it is not a financial burden) and let time be your friend. If red flags go off but you are not sure, at least slow down, take your time and get to know each other.

I remember watching a 60 minute show about a guy who was being scammed. He lost everything, even his house. Whatever the girl wanted, he bought. Unlike some, I did not feel sorry for the guy. I sat in wonderment thinking how he could be so stupid. Maybe he could falter one time, but to continue to send money to a lady he never met was financial suicide. He was desperate for love. A recipe for disaster. If you are this desperate for love and your judgment is that poor, do yourself a favor and don’t look for love on the internet.

Where are scammers? — E V E R Y W H E R E. They are on yahoo, youtube, myspace, online dating sites, etc. Even the big boys, like youtube (owned by google), can’t stop them. Instead they ask that members report when a person uses their site inappropriately. On Filipina Lady I ask the same. Any dating site who says they never had a scammer is probably lying or they are super unaware. There are times that members will not report a scammer from embarrassment. It is better to report them. On my site I do ask that you provide some evidence of scamming. I have had people falsely report someone for scamming because they were rejected by that person.

Finding love should not be a fast food mentality. It took me and my wife almost a year before we knew that it was meant to be. Oh sure, my hormones was in high gear, but I knew that true love was about commitment, time and a lifetime of happiness. For me, it worked. Whatever time table you are on may not be the same as mine, but if you think you are in love within a few emails and a couple of chats, you may want to step back and assess your judgment. For me, years later, I’m more in love with my wife than I ever was. I wake up every morning knowing I’m with someone who loves me for me. No doubts, no questions – the love and respect is mutual and will last a lifetime.

Good luck and happy holidays to all.

What to know when considering a Philippine Bride

The Philippines is a poor country and has a reputation for relationship fraud. Of course there are plenty of good, beautiful and honest Filipina bride women seeking marriage with foreigners. There is also an active population of scammers, fraud schemes and old fashioned gold diggers. Some women seek financial gain and lifestyle upgrades, an escape from poverty. Others are actually seeking a loving relationship, marriage and something new and exciting. How to tell this difference is the key question.

If she asks for money, put the brakes on. Beware of family or medical “emergencies” where the woman needs cash and financial support fast. Know that sending money via Western Union is likely lost in the event that she’s a scammer. Understand that the scammers are professional criminals and are very difficult to distinguish between an honest and trustworthy woman.

Educated yourself by reading about scam and fraud methods. Knowing about the different scams will help you recognize any foul play. The schemes and fraud efforts vary in strategy, but all have one thing in common, money. Money is usually requested in the form of advance fee fraud, where the criminal needs help with school, medical, rent, family, visa, etc. You can read more about the fraud types at Wikipedia’s site for relationship fraud and advance fee fraud. This is a major step in prevention.

Once you understand the fraud types and warnings signs, consider a trip to the Philippines. Get to know her and her country. See for yourself who you’re dealing with. This is a key step in not only preventing fraud, but also in establishing a meaningful relationship. Take time to get to know her. A Philippine woman in a hurry to marry is a major red flag.

Lastly, if all checks out, get a professional background check by a firm with a local presence in Manila and Cebu. Wymoo offers confidential investigations and has years of experience dealing with potential brides and relationships in the Philippines.

Best of luck, and do your homework!

A. Hathaway

If you are thinking of meeting a Russian woman over the Internet – you HAVE to be aware of these most popular scams online:

Here are the most popular cities considered to be the scam capitals of their countries:

Lugansk ? the scam capital of Ukraine ? 90% of the ladies are scamming foreign men for money, presents, etc; read on to see the most popular scams. Yoshkar-Ola ? the scam capital of Russia Kazan ? the scam capital of Russia Minsk – the scam capital of Belarus

In this article will be explained the most popular scams that Russian women go through and the saddest real stories that I witnesses when American men lost their head and a lot of money when chasing their dream.

I came to Lugansk with a purpose to open another matchmaking office there. I think manies have heard about the tremendous beauty of hot and sensual Ukrainian girls but only a smaller number of them do really know that exactly in this small Ukrainian town with a poetic name Lugansk every girl is a real supermodel. Frankly speaking, I didn’t have any version about why is it so, until the time when I introduced with one interesting and of course beautiful woman, who told me that in the time of the Russian Impress Katherine the second’s ruling, she dispatched all the beautiful girls to that remote area. She eliminated all that women of tremendous beauty in unknown city of Lugansk, in order their charm could not darken the beauty of the powerful Empress. In such a way, this small city was full of girls of unbelievable beauty and they were passing this real value from generation to generation. Probably it’s just a beautiful legend, but you start unwillingly believing it when you walk in the streets of Lugansk and stare at dazzling smiles of Russian Brides of Lugansk beauties .

In one of the hot days, I set down on a bench in the shadow in a cozy and pretty park and lazily was looking at people who were resting there. Through some time my attention was attracted by a group of four chaps – two guys and two girls. One of the women among them was tremendously beautiful! A guy that was sticking with her was pretty much athletic but he was staring at another man in a very unfriendly way. At the mean time, the guy that was gazed by another man admirably looked at that extremely beautiful girl. The second chick as I understood was a translator, because guy that was charmed most all spoke in English. The interpreter seemed nervous and unconfident. The beauty was only answering “yes” or “no” and the conversation of two seemed more like a monolog of a foreigner. In some 15-20 minutes the stranger took out of his wallet and passed few green banknotes to the translator. Then, girls and the athletic guy left a foreigner alone and gone in a car that was waiting for them.

As I later found out, the foreigner was an American. His name was Steve. He seemed really confused. That’s why I decided to approach him and ask if he needs any help. So, we introduced and from that moment I started getting to know a different side of Lugansk. It was another truth – a shocking truth about this city.

He came from USA to meet his virtual woman of dream and gain his long-awaited happiness. His whole family was expecting him home with his beautiful, loving and caring Ukrainian bride. However his fiancee disappeared from his life unexpectedly, just like she entered it. The same thing happened to his friend who came with him to Lugansk for seeing his bride.

So, what was so horrible and what happened to both of them?

I told this guy’s story to the manager of my newly registered Lugansk branch of “oksanalove” Russian bride dating agency. And I was even more surprised and confused when she told me not a legend and not a history, but a real thing. I won’t tell about all the details. I just going tell you about some facts that I found out there. So, Lugansk and other scam cities have several illegal fake agencies that work behind the closed doors. They don’t give any of their contact details; they do not provide clients with any trustworthy information, they don’t have advertisements. The pictures of their beautiful clients they put in different free internet sites like Absolute agency, etc. Many of their clients are married young women. They are not unfaithful to their husbands and do not look for a partner for creating a family. So, why do they address to the dating agency? The answer is simple and horrifying – is the money. This is it! The work of these beauties is also simple and does not really bother them. They just bring their photos to the agency and that’s all. The rest is the task for their agency. They decide on what web-site to put the newly came girl’s picture, they write letters to her trapped man and so on. Of course man has to pay for all those letters, where “his” woman get’s percentage for his spending. As a rule they receive lots of letters from the foreign clients and the fiance (if I can say so) on the wings of love fly to these cities to see their beloved ones. Finally, the couples have a meeting and… Confused fiance get a cold look of their Lugansk beauty instead of a sweet kiss.

They loyally pay money for personal translator service, driver, apartment found by their baby-girls and stay alone with their dreams. At the meantime, their brides honestly get their “share” for every deal from their translator who works for the agency. Usually, the fake bride gets some percent from the whole sum given by her fiance. And actually, her salary depends on how much generous her fiance is. Some men spent 10K, others 15K, most generous one (I heard) spent 35 ? 45 Thousands!

Well, this is a sad story about Beautiful Russian Brides from Lugansk and their fake dating agencies. I take all the responsibility for the reliability of this information and it’s checked by myself. In two similar agencies that I attended as a fake client I got the whole information about how the agencies of such kind operate and how their brides should work in their team. I told them that I’m married hiding the facts that could make them suspicious and disclose my intensions. As I told before, I will not describe all the details. However, it made me even the more striving for realizing my purpose.

Here are proximate % that ladies receive from their man’s spending: Letters ? 40% Gifts ? 20 ? 30% Phone calls, translation services ? 30% Persona driver and interpreter when man arrives ? 50% Apartment / hotel rent ? 20%

When searching for a foreign woman on the Internet, watch closely how she plans a meeting with you: does she want to have her own interpreter? ? Red flag Does she wan her person driver? ? Red flag. Does she want to travel with her own interpreter if meeting takes place in a third country? ? Red flag.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of girls in Lugansk (or other Russian, Ukrainian cities) who want to find her second half, one she could give all her love, passion, tenderness, faithfulness and beauty.

Curt Webber asked:


Mail order brides have had an air of mystery and romance surrounding them for a very long time and many Western men have lived a lifetime of love with a woman from halfway around the world. They may not have ever met this love of their life had they not been open to the idea of marrying someone from another country.

If you’ve been toying with the idea of looking at other countries to find a bride, you don’t have to travel the world to find her. The list below outlines seven good reasons you should consider mail order brides.

1.Studies have shown mail order brides and their husbands have longer, happier marriages than most traditional marriages.

2.Theoretically, the rule of opposites attracting applies when it comes to mail order brides and their spouses. Their marriages are almost always successful.

3.It’s easy to find an abundance of help online to walk you through the process of finding the mail order bride of your dreams. You’re able to correspond directly with the woman you choose before encountering an expensive trip abroad.

4.The somewhat negative connotation once associated with mail order brides no longer exists for most people. Online dating is widely accepted, and international online dating is just an offshoot. The phrase ‘mail order bride’ is still typed into search boxes about 3,000 daily.

5.Many services now exist online whose sole function is to unite Western men with hopeful brides from many countries around the world. The most popular countries tend to be Eastern Europe, South America, and Asia, although you can find marriage-minded women from all over the globe.

6.Many Western men find more traditional values in foreign women than the women in their own country, including issues such as raising children, careers, and relationships with older men.

7.Mail order brides could be the answer you need if you’re not meeting the kind of women that you’d like to, or if you’ve become weary of dating in the conventional way. Meeting foreign women online is only a click away and can be done from the comfort of your own home.

Thanks to the internet, dating and falling in love has become as global as shopping and communications. New people are accessing the internet every day as more countries move into the area of modern technology.

There’s no worry about learning to speak a foreign language, as there are software programs available to translate for you. You’ll also find foreign language programs you can use to learn a particular language once you’ve found a foreign woman you want to communicate with in her native tongue. Plus, many women you’ll meet will already be able to speak to you in English.

For men wanting to expand their dating choices, you can now look anywhere in the world. Whatever your preference, they’re out there and many foreign women you’ll meet are also looking for a lifelong commitment.

When you find the woman who steals your heart, take your time getting to know her. Find out her hopes and dreams and what she might expect from life in another country. There’s no need to rush this process. It’s much more important to know that you and your potential mate are both looking for the same things in a relationship.

Mike Smiley asked:

There are a lot of misconceptions about Russian women that need to be cleared:

The one vital question that looms large in the minds of men is that why should Russian women look for husbands abroad? Is it that they want to migrate to the West at any cost by using marriage as a stepping stone?

The answer to both the questions is a big NO. A few issues plaguing the Russian society pushes them to choose Western life partners. There are many reasons for this. Taking a look at Russian men objectively, the statistics reveal that Russian men cannot make good husbands because of their alcohol abuse and poor health conditions. The society and life conditions in Russia push the men towards alcohol addiction.

The second reason is because the number of women in Russia outnumber the men by almost 7%. So, a lot of Russian women are lonely and hardly have a chance to find a life partner in Russia.

Since the major misconceptions about Russian brides have been tackeld, let us move on to see what the basic qualities of Russian brides are.

Russian brides are good-looking, feminine and chic. They rarely get overweight with time. They dress up very carefully and are updated with the latest fashion. Russian women are very modest in their financial and lifestyle expectations for a husband compare to western women. Most Russian singles would much rather have a loving husband and friend than well sponsored life with a stranger.

They are well-educated, intelligent. They have better education and life experience. This is because the Soviet educational system offers quite a few scholarships and encourages women to have advanced degrees. Though the accent in English is different, they can pick up the right accent very easily.

Though they are career-minded they do not compromise on family values. This is because of unique Russian culture that has very strong, old-fashioned values about family and its importance to the woman. Also, because most of Russian live in small apartments with 2-3 generations living together. Thus the family is close knit.

Finally, what a man can expect from a western bride is that she will make a good wife because she is flexible and adaptable to any life style. Many men who have been married to Russian women, report how easy it was for their new wives to overcome a cultural change. Although, men themselves had to make compromises in order to help the transition.

There are a lot of dating and introduction agencies introducing Russian brides to eligible men.

Filipina Kisses asked:

There are western men who wants a Filipino woman to be their Filipino bride. Indeed, the Filipino woman has endearing qualities making her a very ideal bride. These qualities of a Filipino woman are: stunning beauty, cheerful disposition in life, warm and friendly personality, faithful in their love, undying loyalty to their husbands, exotic sweetness, prim and proper ways, highly respectful of elders, practice close family ties and are caring in their ways.

So, are you eager and determined to find your Filipino bride? Then, you should be ready for all the things that goes along with your search.

First, you must have the financial capacity to travel to the Philippines to meet Filipino girls and find your Filipino bride.

Second, you should be willing to post your actual picture and profile online. After all, the internet is where you can start online dating and search for your future Filipino bride.

Third, register in Filipino online dating sites that focus on Filipina dating, and you should be willing to upgrade and pay for memberships. You have more chances of meeting more Filipino women to interact with as a paid member in Filipino dating sites. You can also join free online Filipino dating sites. Just make sure to register your online dating profile and start your search!

Fourth, beware of scams from professional daters who will only want your money and have no intention of marrying you at all. There are some girls who are not really single as she claims to be.

Fifth, try to make friends with someone in your area who is married to a Filipina. His Filipina wife surely has Filipina friends back in the Philippines who will be interested to meet you if you decide to visit the Philippines.

Sixth, be aware that you have a different culture from your Filipino bride. Filipino women have a more traditional view of marriage than western women. But like many other women, sometimes a Filipino woman could change her personality. It really depends on each person’s character.

Filipino women are raised in the more old fashioned ways, and are taught to be faithful to their husbands. For many Filipino women, marriage is a very important decision and is a lifetime commitment.

It is really important that in choosing your Filipino bride, there is love and trust between the two of you. Usually, a Filipino woman will only marry the man they truly love. In the Philippines, you can still find Filipino girls who are very conservative, and waiting for the right man to marry.

Many western men who marry a Filipino bride swear that Filipino girls make the best wives in the world. A Filipina wife who really loves you will be very loyal, loving and faithful. If you have not found your future Filipino bride yet, then you should join Filipino dating sites, such as FilipinaKisses.com. You will eventually find your Filipino bride to marry.

Peter Finch asked:


Russian women are full of romance and love, but that does not mean they will plunge headlong into a long term relationship with anyone. It takes time to crystallize a relationship with them, and it is a bit of a challenge actually. You may take a while in reaching out at her heart, and it is not only an exercise in romance, but you will also have to learn her traditions and even language.

The world over, people have the impression of Russians that they are a casual and friendly lot, but they are also very family-oriented. Men all over the world like Russian brides especially for their attractive charm and charisma. Russian culture is also very popular, which teaches women to believe quite strongly in love. That is the reason why a Russian bride becomes a whole package of everything men look for in a wife.

It can be said that Russian women are full of emotions, something that they learn from their roots. They do search for true love, but at the same time, a Russian bride will keep up with her husband till death do them apart, irrespective of any shortcomings in her husband. But, they will like a bit of romance, and will also appreciate a bit of financial security in their married life.

One trait that foreign men must know and understand in their Russian brides is that they will have a strong sense of self-esteem, and a fierce sense of pride. That makes it necessary for both husband and wife to adjust and compromise a bit after marriage. Men married to Russian women must understand that their brides have come from a distant country, and there are many changes in the cultural and traditional values. She has come into a new family and to a new husband who is more than a normal stranger. That is the reason, men must make a little more place for them than they would for a wife from their own country.

It is very important that men must be honest and truthful with their Russian brides right from the start. Even before the marriage, there must be good communication, in which not only the good things must be discussed, but also the points that could become problematic to the couple later on.

It seems quite easy for most men to acquire a foreign wife, but it is retaining them that is difficult. Difficulties are bound to occur during and after marriage, so a great amount of thought is needed. Men looking for Russian wives must consider whether it is lust that is driving them to marriage, or true love. Barriers such as cultural and language differences must be thought of, as well as the differences in the way of living. Russian women have a different kind of psychology too, and men must try to understand that. And, if there is any occasion that that you have to visit Russia, then you must be ready to accept a bit of cultural shock. This will help you settle better with the Russian woman.

Men who are too busy, but still want a Russian bride for themselves, knowing all the problems that might come in, would do well to visit a matchmaker. These people have special expertise in making foreign marriages happen. They will find the right kind of wife for you, and will also train you on the proper manners for the first meet.

Finally, it is your heart that you must listen to. You might have a great hankering for a Russian bride, but you must appreciate the difficulties too. However, if you are really in love, you must not let these difficulties come in the way of a fruitful married life.

Russian girls women ladies foreign bride search pretty girls who are interested in husbands, questions you can quickly search contact wonderful women from Russia Ukraine Belarus Moldova invitation to meet, meeting girls woman seeking man via marriage agency.

Why are some women looking for foreign husbands.

Ukrainian women do find love and happiness with many men, but statistically, there are three ladies for each young man, and that is the primary reason the women look for partners abroad.

Russian girls women ladies foreign bride search pretty girls who are interested in husbands, questions you can quickly search contact wonderful women from Russia Ukraine Belarus Moldova invitation to meet, meeting girls woman seeking man via marriage agency.

After nearly 80 years of Communist rule, the former Soviet Union – USSR has some of the most adaptable women anywhere in the world. By and large they know how to be a good wife and mother. The whole country culture teaches her highest fulfillment and joy in being a girlfriend, wife and mother. Travel tour visit Russia Ukraine Belarus tour have fun meeting date ladies girls making acquaintance friends learn a new language make a match older man younger women partner.

Many women are highly educated but can ultimately do little with their degree because, due to economic instability, it is a fairly hard for Russian / Ukrainian men to find a decent job and support a family. For this reason, many men are not in a hurry to marry and have that great responsibility.

There is another important reason for looking abroad… alcoholism. Many men find themselves hopeless when they cannot provide for their family and often turn to drinking. Although it does not occur in every family, it is quite common.

USSR women the image of a traditional Russian woman is usually portrayed on the base of literary and historical characters and figures. It is generally believed that a Russian woman will follow the love of her life anywhere, whether it is Siberia, the nether world, or the United States of America. However, any Natasha will obviously choose citizenship, if she faces love or citizenship choice.

On the other hand, deputy Nikolai Kuryanovich attracted the society’s attention, albeit in such a peculiar way, to a highly important problem of the national extinction. According the State Statistics Committee, the population of Russia has reduced by 1.8 million people in comparison with the results of the population census conducted in 1989. Demographers say that there will be only 101 million people living in Russia by 2050.

The explanatory note to the above-mentioned bill runs: The prohibition for Russian woman’s matrimonial relations with foreign men is based on the disastrous demographic situation in Russia. Contracting marriages with foreign men implies the loss of a considerable layer of women’s population for the Russian society. This factor undermines the national security of the nation, reduces the number of marriages between native citizens of the Russian Federation and harms the gene pool of the nation.

There simply is no comparison between the vast majority of American women and the vast majority of women from the FSU! If you want to be happy for the rest of your life and married to a beautiful, intelligent woman who will value you, your family and herself then go out and find her in Russia.

There were actually no marriages between Russian women and foreign men until the mid 1980s. But when the iron curtain went down, this issue became rather fashionable and even prestigious. Foreign businessmen usually like Russian girls, valuing their passion for good housekeeping, sexual appeal, and of course, their beauty. Up to 30 thousand marriages like that were registered at the end of the 1980s – beginning of the 1990s.

The first day of the new rules for citizens of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to cross Russian borders started with scandals.

In spite of the fact that the authorities of the above-mentioned republics had two months to prepare for the passport-entry regime, Russian border guards and former USSR citizens had to deal with numerous problems.

First time Travel the beauty of group tours is that they don’t actually cost much more than traveling independently. By the time you pay for your flight, hotel, ground transport, interpreter, etc. you may save nothing and you will be on your own, without the expertise of an experienced tour company to handle any difficult situations that might arise in Russia or Ukraine. Independent travelers also find scheduling individual meetings with ladies quite time consuming and frustrating as ladies are often difficult to get in touch with. And even if you have established correspondence with a lady, you never know what will happen until you meet face to face.

Going it alone alone you may you may have to rely on little marriage agencies at $50 per introduction, pay for interpreter, they may or may not show up, no pick up at airport, no social, no convince, third party reservations are a hassle.

Passports and Visas Passport which does not expire for 6 months after departing Russia, or Ukraine is required. Selected Post Offices accept Passport Applications. Russian visas are required. No Ukrainian visas are required for citizens of US and Canada, and starting September 1, 2005 – European Union. We will assist you in obtaining a visa through a third party.

Hint: Your US cell phone will not work in Europe. Europe uses unlocked sims chip cell-phones. You can purchase theses in the USA (must be unlocked) when you get to Europe you purchase a sims chip with a phone number for that country, then you purchase time/minutes. It is nice to have this communication capability. You will have the ability to text message a lady to meet you some where you are familiar with. Even if she does not read much English she will be able to figure the message, this works. Your apartment or hotel will not have an answering machine.

Hint Upon entering country customs officer will ask you how much money are bring in the country – reply with the correct answer. You are only allowed to bring $1000 for Ukraine and $3000 for Russia in cash without listing the sum in the customs declaration form.

Visas to Ukraine – Most citizens of countries other than USA require a visa to travel to Ukraine.

Citizens of EU, Switzerland and Liechtenstein: beginning with 1 September 2005 visas to Ukraine are not required for EU or Swiss citizens who enter Ukraine or transit through its territory for the period of time of up to 90 days with a valid travel passport.

Citizens of USA and Canada beginning with July 1, 2005 visas to Ukraine are not required for the US and Canadian citizens who enter Ukraine within six months after their previous trip to Ukraine or transit through its territory for a period of up to 90 days with a valid American travel passport.

The US citizens need to make sure that their current medical insurance has coverage in Ukraine.

Citizens of Japan: beginning with August 1, 2005 visas to Ukraine are not required for the Japanese citizens who enter Ukraine or transit through its territory for a period time of up to 90 days with a valid Japanese travel passport.

Laura Rinaldi asked:


The concept of mail order brides has been around far longer than has the Internet, but the Net has become the preferred venue for finding a foreign mate. Although most Russian bride websites downplay the ‘mail order’ aspect of their service, the only difference between these websites and the mail order bride catalog of the 1970′s is that former was distributed in hard copy and the latter arrives via cyberspace.

There is no denying that love has been known to spark in strange circumstances, but one has to wonder if its’ love, or some other motive that causes men and women to enter into a ‘mail order bride’ relationship. Go to any Russian brides website (and there are hundreds of them, some legitimate, some not), and you will notice several commonalities. Each site states that, “Russian women are extremely open-minded, and tolerant of most anything”, and every woman pictured on each website could easily be a beauty contest winner. These certainly are attractive selling points.

Oops, we aren’t supposed to talk about selling! It is stressed that Russian woman are not selling themselves through these services, but are merely looking to find the man of their dreams so they can please him in every way possible. These Russian beauties don’t mind living on a tight budget, will work if hubby wants, or will happily stay home and care for home and family, free of selfish career goals.

These women all appear to be highly educated, yet they are not opposed to marrying a man much older and less attractive than they themselves. Russian women are represented as being accustomed to male domination and sexism, so they will not be bothered by those attitudes from their foreign husbands. They are touted to be extremely tolerant with an emotional temperature well below that of their western counterparts. Long-suffering and patient, Russian woman never lose their cool, even if their spouse has many mistresses!

So why do these miraculous, low maintenance creatures need a foreign husband? Unfortunately the women out-number the men in Russia (100 women for every 88 men), and single women are treated with only minimal respect in the Russian culture. If you are not married by age 25, it is unlikely that you will ever marry. Rather than to be doomed to a life of disrespect and despair it is preferable to fly off with a stranger in hopes of finding marital bliss abroad.

Do we really have to ask why Western men might like to marry a woman who has limited English skills and comes advertised as a Barbie Doll who cooks and cleans? Ah, if only it were real!

The fact is, often times it isn’t real. The ‘free’ listing on a Russian bride website may come with a myriad of hidden costs that present themselves later down the road. Some Russian brides are rumored to be fronts for the Russian Mafia. Other Russian bride websites have no brides at all. Men think they are corresponding with the lovely Anna in St. Petersburg, when indeed they are sending handsome pictures of themselves to Ralph in Cleveland and being scammed out of airfare.

Russian women are advertised as ‘trim’ when a more accurate descriptor might be ‘starved’. Health problems linked with poor nutrition and generational alcoholism is never mentioned. Abuse, abandonment, and poverty apparently have no detrimental impact on these women, and they always arrive in the USA unimpaired mentally and physically despite any deprivation or torment they may have suffered as children and young adults. Pretty unbelievable, huh?

Yes, the entire concept upon which ‘Russian brides’ is built is unbelievable. Talk with any Russian male and ask why Russian women want to come to the US and marry American men. Most will agree that it is because Russian women want to live like American women, not because they are just dying to hook up with an overweight middle-aged American man. This means that once settled in America, beautiful Swetlana may decide she wants to pursue a career, delay child rearing, and take long vacations in the sun.

Darn, there is just no truth in advertising anymore.
