Perhaps it was a bit harsh, but I got the distinct feeling that JR was spending a lot more time and getting a lot more enjoyment writing and reading about himself vs. pursuing a relationship with a RW...

I meant to say I was 50ish (actually 48).  I once saw a funny list of what people say in personal ads.  One said, 'those who say they are 40ish, are usually 49 years, 11 months and 29 days.'  I try to go the opposite route.

Interesting your comments about "fished out."

I was only in St. Pb once, but I think it has more to do with the "big city" vs "small town" mentality than being "fished out."

I think that the women from St. Pb (and Moscow) are more "modernized." They have been exposed to more western thinking and, in short, are slowly evolving into the same thing as the AW.

They can be very career minded. And, of course, very choosey. They also have a tendency to speak better English and have email accounts, so they have a lot more men writing to them, so they are very choosey.

No empirical data on that. But it was my sense from some comments made by a couple of the women I met (as well as the ladies who worked in the Marriage Agency that I cisited while I was there.)
