Well, I don't know if that is why the OP would choose Russia, but if it is because of being a richer man in a poorer country trying to get a bride, that would be pathetic. But some European guys who can't get laid in their own countries usually go to East Europe (usually Russia) or Thailand to get laid and want to be like a rich Messiah and expect to be treated like that due to being a rich Westerner by their standards...

Have you been to Russia?


There you go Europe is a very diverse continent, and you can find different languages, cultures, nations, men and women there. French women are beautiful! Nordic women too! How about Italian women? And German women? And many others... They are also safer places than Russia.

I don't remember Winston Wu having gone to any of those places...

Honey-bunnyyyy...

Ask Winston Wu.

I met Russian girls in Canada before and they are open to AM's. One even asked me to ask her out and it was a date from there

These kind of threads always make me cringe a little.
Maybe you mean well but what you just described is a gross generalisation.
I've talked about these things with my mother (since I was too young to know what comunism was like in the former Yugoslavian Federation) and I can tell you
life here was nothing like you described it.
I think that the two main differences between former Yugoslavia and the "west"
was communism and the budget.
I remember being 12 y/o and the war was over and suddenly hordes of ppl from
the "west"would come back to these parts. It was the first time I encountered so
many bigot ppl who gawked at the fact we had more or less all the commodities of
the west eventho we were recently in war.
To think they probably thought all this time we lived like bush ppl with fig leaves
stuck on our butts or something O_O fu*king idiots.

Datz no funny...he makes us look bad...

Guys, i'd seriously avoid Russia if I were you. The neo-nazi problems there isn't an exaggeration i've had other expats tell me the same thing. Russia has the biggest number of neo-nazi skinheads in ALL of europe. They are far right nationalists who hate all foreigners who look "different" from slavs. They openly beat immigrants on a fairly daily basis in broad daylight and the police won't do anything about this because these groups are connected politically with a russian party.

Besides, why risk a knifing in some place like Russia when there are so many other decent places around Europe to explore? Jeez.. Russia ain't Kansas guys i'm surprised at some of the naivety I see in here. Going on holiday to get booted in the face by 5 bomber jacket wearing weightlifting thugs isn't my idea of a good time and I doubt it's anyone else's unless you have a death wish or want to be handicapped.

So who is this Winston Wu character that people keep referencing? There's no Wikipedia article on him.

Have you? I grew up with Russian immigrants, they tell me how it was like.
