This post will mention some things that I need to say after reading above said post. I have been here more than 6 years and have fallen in love many times, gotten somewhat serious several of those times but I am still searching. I have been chatting with and writing to mainly just one lady for nearly 2 years now but there are still roadblocks to getting together. For someone older to say they are here because you expect to find someone younger to have your children may not be the best approach to finding true love. Yes most of the ladies here are younger but it is still not easy to find real love here and especially someone young who is wanting to have children. There are again many women here who have made mistakes and have children of their own and they do their best to raise them. To say they are not doing the right thing becoming involved with a man in their country and having a child by him is wrong. Everyone falls in love and has ambitions of that love lasting forever so the next step is having children. Sometimes that changes a person for a number of reasons and the result is alcohol, drug and physical abuse. I am not condoning either, but men all over the world do the same, no matter the country. Yes I read that Russian and Ukrainian men like their liquor and they also like to have many women, but not all are like that. Yes it is hard here to build a relationship because there are so many beautiful women but there are also many men here, who are not here for the right reasons and only want to make another notch in their gun. If you are here for the right reasons and are willing to be patient, time will be on your side. My two biggest beefs with this site are cost and language. It is very expensive to build a relationship here and many times it seems like the ladies are only here to get you to spend your money. Language is also an issue with many women. Many ladies state they can speak or write English but they don't and the worst part is many are not willing to learn. Still another issue is the unwillingness of ladies to read a man’s profile and adhere to what he does say in it. If a man does not desire to write or chat with you he will say so or if he continually deletes you from his chats requests or does not answer your letters then it probably means he is not interested. So the main thing to remember here is that you be honest with yourself first and then with any lady you start to converse with. If you are then maybe things might work out for you and one day you will find yourself with the woman of your dreams.
