Greetings everyone! I joined this site on a recommendation from a man who is also looking for a Russian or Ukrainian wife. I was in Ukraine recently - it was with another agency but it was still good to experience another country and its' culture, customs, and cuisine. And the womn? Oh my goodness! They were wonderful to meet and interact with. Are there scammers who try to use the men for money? Sure there are. But the reality is that there many, many more sincere and serious women than there are con artists. I have been on several international sites within the last year and compared to the other sites, the credit costs are affordable and reasonable. So I will be around for a while. Hopefully not too long - I'm serious about finding a life partner here and I'm looking for a woman that shares that mindset. I do plan on coming back to Ukraine this fall (by the way, I went to Kiev, Kharkov, and Sumy on my trip in April) so I would love to have meetings with a handful of ladies. Finally, I enjoy reading the blogs here - I've been getting useful information from them. And I like the fact that we get to hear from both men and women - different viewpoints are always good. I'm glad to be here, and we'll see how things go!
