Ok, I understand your point now. There can be no doubt but that the sincerity level increases when outside of Moscow, St.Pete, etc.

Since she is so choosy about the hotel, it looks like she probaby would come to Moscow, just to spend some more of your cash. But she could just as easily pocket the air fare you would presumably have to send her, never to be heard of again.  

Then again, some of these scammers are so devious, I wouldn't put it past her to pretend to be choosy about the hotel, to make you think she actually intends to come over.

I'm pretty new at this whole RW thing.  But this seems obvious.  Don't waste your time or you're money.  I probably wouldn't even reply to her.  Move on.

that, you've gathered some inkling of this this woman's character, at least, thru correspondence; therefore, you already know the answer.

Obviously, it's a personal decision here - predicated upon many factors - in your desire for a wife.

Yesterday, while at John Wayne (long delay), I found myself studying the no-go (carry on items) list for far too long. Ya know, no: Hockey sticks, Bazookas, Bowie knifes et al. One item was conspicuously missing.

Yes, the old branding iron. Perhaps, if you allow this gal to have her way, you might wish to introduce her to this 'ancient' American tradition. This, if only to warn future wary suitors, to the FSU, of her wiles. The particular brand...

Good luck, with your other choices...

the most inoffensive brand I could think of is HM for high maintenance.  but then you don't have to go 6,000 miles for that!

Tell her you'll fix her up with Bill Gates, or expect sex 10 times a day, and take her parents house as collatoral. Or just get lost! Why would some strange woman deserve such indulgence. Being considerate is one thing. Actually, the Rossiya is pretty old and uncomfortable (beds) unless perhaps you are in the new section.

She sounds like a woman in Kiev I was involved with. Needless to say, I wish I had spend far less time on her.  I suggest you pass on this one.

I know I wouldn't call her back.  Why waste the money.

I find it awful funny, here she is 15 hours away by train and she knows all these HOTELS.

Classy lady you have there.

Knowing she's a player, I'd play with her and ask her bra size. Then I'd inform her of "The Formula":

She's got a B cup = Rossiya
She's got a C cup = Ukrainia
She's got a D cup or larger = Golden Ring

And you will need a certified, notarized letter with official translation to the effect of her bra size.

(Lord-- please forgive me for what I have written here! If you can't, I totally understand.)

I could fly her to my hometown, New Orleans.  At Mardi Gras there are a couple of geniuses on Bourbon Street who dress as judges and have women line up to have their breasts judged and stamped.  I'd have to get the hotel logos for them.

I'd go the extra $100 if i was gettin layed.

Actually, it would be a total of over $600 more, and no guarantee of action (or else I'd need only one room-then I might consider it!)

If you want a very high maintenance woman, she would seem to be a great catch! LOL!  You have to know that if she EXPECTS the very best THERE, why would she not feel so inclined HERE?  If you are rich and this is no problem, great.  If you are not rich however, you could be in for a world of hurt as these appetities do not often change easily IMO.
I think it would also bother me that she seems intimately acquainted with each and every one of these hotels you mention!  NOT a good sign to me!

Would I tell her the Rossiya of the Saratov??  No.  I would tell her goodbye, but that's me.  Why with what you know, would you want to waste the time or money to go further with her??
