I found Absolute agency and kiss.com to be very good; but I used them about one year ago; and I have no knowledge of how they are now :-).

St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world; in my opinion the most beautiful city in FSU.
The women there are also beautiful; though I found Baltic women to be prettier.

The short answer is; don't spread yourself thin; pick one or two cities and concentrate on women there; because you can't go to too many places.

Have at least 4-5 girls you plan on meeting before you get there.

i think you must be a lucky man, not only in finding a beautiful wife but also that you did not get scam to badly by one of the biggest scam agencies. kiss.com has some scammers but nothing compared to absolute agency.

for the fun of it go to some of the top three or four sites that have scam women posted and look at the women, then go to the absolute agency site. if you do this you will be amazed at the number of women on the absolite site that are also on these scam sites.

Thanks for your imput DE, Katya and Reagan.. I appreciate your thoughts..  Any of you have any thoughts about Sumy, Riga or Minsk??  I'm sure there must be fewer men going to these places than Kiev or St. Petes.  
I have been to Kiev and although there are some nice girls there I am sure, it just seemed like there was an American guy on every street corner!  I don't mind competition, it's just that so many of the girls seemed somewhat spoiled by all the attention (and money) these guys have been throwing at them and I would like to avoid that if possible!
You all mention women from "smaller towns".  Well, how does one go about finding these girls??

Again, thanks for the imput!

Paca,
Oscar

I believe that it's best to find your lady by email first. After you've found a girl you like, go out to meet her. Look in the agencies for girls from smaller towns if you that is what you like.

Been to Kharkov three times and doubt that I will be going back.
Disadvantages:
It's a very large industrial based city, but without the attractions and uniqueness of Kiev.  Much dustier and with less reconstruction than Kiev.  There are at least 10 agencies in town with two being quite large.  Have met numerous foriegn men there since the only real area to hang is a short two-three block area.  Girls are definately city girls.  Have ran into a few scammers there, but not many.

Advantages:
There are numerous universities there if you are into the 17-23 year old girls.  Does have a few restruants that have English menus (although frequently the staff don't speak English).  Cheaper apartment rentals if you avoid the agencies.  Have a great English speaking contact there that is very reasonably priced and will assist you from translating, finding an apartment, meeting at Borispol, etc.

There are still very many nice girls in Odessa. Country girls are often different from city girls. You should write to some girls from both the city & country & learn about them. Country girls tend to be less well educated than city girls, but that is only a generalisation. I don't mean to upset anyone with a country girlfriend.

In my humble opinion, the big cities are good for one night stands and lots of partying. I think you are more likely to find a wife in a smaller city. I once corresponded with and visited (twice) a Russian girl that lived in a smaller city. We started a relationship and got engaged. During the fiancee' visa process, she moved to Moscow for her job. Talk about a change. She started smoking. She aged. She turned into a real skeezer. It was sad, but I learned my lesson with that one. I am generalizing about big city girls I know. I am sure there are lots of decent girls in Moscow and St.Petersburg, I personally have had better luck with girls from smaller cities.

Good Luck

... in response to She visably aged??  What , within a year..., posted by Go2Rus on Oct 29, 2001

I have the pictures to prove it. It was really sad because when I met her she was so fresh and full of life, but after one year in Moscow she was smoking and just generally looking ragged out. I don't know what happened, but she was not an honest person as I found out much to my chagrin.

Cheers
