Four friends of mine are married to Russian or FSU (former Soviet Union) ladies. One has been married over 10 years, the others over 5 years each. One of them lost the marriage when she flaked out but he remarried another woman from the Ukraine and she is a babe.

The rest of them are very nice ladies and for the most part heads and shoulders above ANY women here in America. I dated one from the Ukraine who was already living in America and she was wonderful. Another gent asked her to get married before I did and he took the prize. She still stays in touch and if she ever is single again hope I find out first.

Am dating a lady from Eastern Europe now who lives in Canada and there is just no way to compare. Less baggage, nice to be with and not high maintenance, she just wants to enjoy life with a guy who will treat her as a person. They have little future in their old home, and want to find a man to spend life with who will give them and their kids a future.

This crap about "mail order brides" is pure BS. there is no way that they are mail order anything, but simply introduction services using the internet. No different from "Plenty of fish," Match.com or Yahoo personals. Difference is that they live a long way away but are looking for someone to have a relationship with. Yes, there are quite a few scammers but there are scammers in our world here as well, so deal with it.
