I know- OK- more to the point- I ASSUME, that creating a relationship with a woman from another culture may be a challenge. The most obvious is the language barrier, which could vary, depending on how much English my dearest knows. I readily admit I do not speak any Russian or Ukrainian. I am not against learning- it may be easier with a "live in" teacher! That component makes sense to me.

It is more the questions posed to me on a daily basis, that leaves me grasping for understanding. I am a proponent of communication in a relationship- the more we learn about each other, the better. Please note: at this point, I am NOT in a relationship. We have never met. We have never spoken. I say this because some of the responses in chat have me scratching my head. If you feel you can shed light on any of these, feel free to hit me up in chat to explain!

I do not say names (as here, most women make up a "moniker" for their page anyway), as to NOT embarrass any woman whom may recognize her question or statement to me. I just wish to share them to try to see if it is just my American slant (perception) based on culture, or any of these may actually seem a bit strange:
(The first will be the posited question or statement, the second I my reaction.)

"I'm looking for a relationship that will be built on truth and respect, are you interested?"
- My belief is that everyone is here for relationships. I have been told some men are here for fun- that is not ME. But, my upbringing taught me all good unions are built on truth and respect. Wondering who thinks differently!

"How old do you think women can have children?"
- Not a doctor nor Gynecologist. I have read that births after age 40 have a higher rate of autism and Down Syndrome. I may be off on this, again, not a doctor.

"If I come to you, will you leave?"
-This one is perplexing! If you come to ME (at my home), where exactly would I go?

"do you allow tourists into your house?"
Or, a SIMILAR
" If I come to you, do you have a room in your home for me?"
- Both of these bother me. I want a relationship. Both of these struck me as women asking if I was running a hostel or Air BnB. (I am NOT). If I am THAT appealing to you, maybe you didn't shop hard enough?

" Does MY having a child make you AVOID me?"
- THIS one I can answer! (I get so happy for small wins ladies!) I am a single dad. I raised 4 kids alone. I have two teens still under my roof. I can do parenting, and the Dad thing, no worries, whatsoever. I want to date you- not your kid (this is joking ladies!!) I mean that I understand women sometimes come with children. That is expected, and as a mature man, I understand the connotations.

"Are you interested in a real meeting or are you not ready for an offline relationship?"
-Without being repetitive, THAT is WHY WE ARE HERE! (Ready for both)

"Do you like what I wear for you? Would you allow me to wear this at home?"
- We are adults. I am not a warden. You may choose what to wear. Whether I find it appealing is another question, but it has NEVER been posed this way.
This one needs to be commented on more thoroughly.
I do not know how husbands and wives work across the globe. But many of the questioning seems to be of the type, "will YOU ALLOW", which I find astonishing!! You DEFINITELY want a man from the States! Here there are RIGHTS. I must be careful. Gentlemen reading my blog, I do not mean to offend you. Some nations are still strict Patriarchy based realms. Those women who pursue men from these nations should understand what they are signing up for. Caveat emptor, to a degree.

Last one
"but seriously, do usually kids (and pets) like you?"
-Again, you do not know this about me, but, father of 4. I relate very well with kids (probably because I can still feel myself a 12 year old- remembering how it felt to be in their shoes.) And YES, LOVE dogs. I saw a bumper sticker that nails it perfectly: TELL YOUR DOG I SAID HI
I TOTALLY feel that one! I laughed so hard when I saw it. Don't know if you have agree, but many times, I will meet someone, and meeting THEIR DOG is the best part of the encounter! lol parting shot- I don't do cats- I am horribly allergic, and they cause asthma attacks when I breathe the dander (fun fact).

OK THEN. What did we learn today class?
No- I am asking YOU! Feel free to comment.
I am just a guy, trying to make sense of the dating scene, albeit via the world wide web!
