Hello and thanks for reading my blog. There are so many thoughts in my head but i will try to keep this blog short. I have traveled to the Ukraine and Russia to see my male friends...guys like brothers to me and that is how i found the amazing beauty of the ladies there. I live on an island where tourists come for just the summer. About 4000 Work and Travel students come every summer. I met my friends when they came here and so in good tradition they invited me to their home countries. I am sure they had many friends that promised to travel there but none actually did it. Well i did. First to Siberia in January of 2013. Cold is not rhe proper word for Novokuznetsk. North of Novosibirsk is already cold but -39c is indeed a chilling experience. I swam in the Kondoma river more as a dare and to represent the American spirit of adventure. I am 100% certain that 99% of the people i met there had never seen an American. At the bank i was the topic of great discussion as they passed my passport to each other to view. I began to see a rare beauty in the women there. A real passion for loving their men struck me as rare also. Family seemed important to them and so when i traveled to the Ukraine i expected the same. One big difference was that Ukrainian.women were more beautiful. How is it possible to perfect perfection? Really...the beautiful women i had met in Russia were really hot but the Ukrainian women were even more beautiful. Still it leaves a decent man wondering how to approach such rare beauty. How is this possible? Scammers have polluted the experience of a man traveling to meet his future bride. And old men and foreign men have polluted the mind of the women there with their behavior...as if sex tourism is a game for old rich men. So here it becomes a game of chess really. You have willing men and willing women all scared to be taken advantage of. Distance is the ONE and ONLY issue keeping us all apart. What if we all had webcams for serious dating by serious men and women. I don't mean for old perverts to ask for nudity and lingerie but to just talk About life. I.don't know about the other.men on this site but i have never EVER had to pay to meet a woman. I dont consider myself like Brad Pitt or George Clooney but i am just average enough to have found pretty and smart women to date. I am divorced so that shows that i failed at something. I dont know what that is yet but i know that loneliness has taught me to keep searching for where i failed. Beautiful women sending average men messages about love and passion in their first2 or 3 letters is not normal but then i also have been to Russia and the Ukraine and i remember that it's quite normal for beautiful women to dress in a way that attracts men. Maybe it's because we are not from the Ukraine that women want us? I don't know yet. I know rare women require rare attention and care. That is what makes this online dating so hard. Women that have rare beauty do require attention. They want to be seen and told about their beauty because they take pride in themselves...they take time to be seen by the world and to walk to work or in their city or tiny town. This is just what my experience has been. My spirit of adventure and u guess my view on romance is old fashioned. Instead of sitting online, i say just pack your suitcase and go where your heart pulls you. Sometimes your heart will pull you toward just the adventure as it did for me but i also found in those adventures always helped me meet new friends. Those friends always had some other friend that was single and alone and ready. Foolishly i didn't take the opportunity to adventure with the women i met. Maybe i didnt want them to think i came to their corner of the world to just have sex and leave. I didn't want them to think i came all the way to wherever they lived to drink like their men do and then aggressively take them to bed like their men do. Now here i am like many other normal men looking for someone to be with me on the days when i am not at my best. We can all have a good day and show it but standing by someone on a bad day is what tests who we really are. So if you are reading this and have some experience like mine please comment for everyone to read. I have been to Novosibirsk and Novokuznetsk and then also to Kiev, Kharkov, Evpatoria, and then Lviv. Lviv was so beautiful and very welcoming. January 2019 i will travel back to Lviv to see my friends Vlad and Maria and Anna and her husband Alex. These married couples always invite me to come back.....but this trip i want to meet someone to be serious with. I hope to meet her on this site and then meet her when i travel to the.Ukraine. I will travel to meet her and then i hope she will travel to meet my friends and to pass their tests and high standards for me. For that i am grateful. I have these friends to keep me from going astray and falling for beauty alone. There are lots of beautiful women here but i hope to find a smart, loyal, funny, selfless pretty woman. This is like mission impossible and i am sure every man and woman here feel the same. I will write again if you respond and add to this dialogue if you like. Thanks Andy
