I didn't think about it until after I wrote it. My fiancee has a 4 year old son, so that should be enough proof that she does not qualify.

Wait, I don't get it. Are you saying that "astrophysics" is not a proper term? Or are you saying that sub-atomic particles are not related to astrophysics? No, I am not a physist, but I certainly understand that there is a relationship between sub-atomic, atomic particles, particle research, and astrophysical issues related to the universe and dark matter research. I am not declaring myself an expert. I am just saying that because a man likes a girl from the village he or she is not a hick from the sticks. So where does either term not relate to the other please.

Didn't think there was another here who studies Steven Hawkings. Have you read about the recent discovery of the new state of matter?

Stephen Hawking is one of the few who writes for layman idiots like me. What was the other guy's name who died about two years ago. I think these sciences are like building a skyscrapper brick by brick. It takes forever, and you had better not forget the location and characteristics of a single brick as you go up.

Steve,
Before you fly off the handle, think about this first: My post was not about YOU.  Why do you feel you have to defend yourself?  My post may not be true about your girl and I did say there were exceptions.

I think the more relevant inquiry in the city vs village issue is where do you live?  If you live on a ranch in Wyoming or the mountains, you're probably going to have a difficult time with someone from a large city - they like the museums, the shopping, and culture and will miss that.  An RW who is a friend of my wife from Novisibirsk married a man from Brooksville, Florida - a town where the fish camp is the main cultural attraction - divorced in two years.  I would focus more on what her interests are and whether she will be happy wherever you live.  You will drive yourself nuts making generalizations.  Take stock of yourself and where you live and what you like to do, and then decide as best you can whether a particular girl that you like would be happy there.  If the answer is yes, whether she is from a village or a city will be of no consequence.

I agree with you almost entirely Charles. But I also believe that the city women are less adaptable than the country women. Our cities are generally less hectic, but also less social than their large cities. Also, there are many cities that are larger than our cities. We only have about 18 cities in the US with more than 3,000,000 population. I would hate to start counting the cities in the FSU with such populations. Point: They are more urban than we are. Their lives are busier and more hectic. And their life style is a comfort zone as it is for most people.

Point well taken, but I still believe that that my points are just as valid.

I thought the US has twice as many people as Russia in a smaller land area. Are you saying more Americans are rural and small town dwellers than Russians?

[Quasimoto]

... in response to Question, posted by Jeff S on Oct 18, 2001

True, but distribution is the issue. The US has a lot more scattered smaller towns, where Russia et al have very large cities of over 5,000,000 that most Americans have never heard of. That is just a reflection of the overall issue. How many cities of 500,000 cities are there? Yes, I am saying they are more urban than we are in overall demographics.

Steve,
I would agree with you based on what I know about Russia.  Do you have any facts that back up this assumption?  I am just curious about it.

I looked up the stats in the CIA factbook and the UN demographics data base when this issue about RW being very urban or cosmopolitan came up the first time. One of the stimulus was the fact that on one sight the women were asked if they would marry farmers, and all but one said no.

Steve,
How can your points be valid when it is based on 5 women?  One that you never spoke to (or attempted to speak to), another that you had trouble speaking to through an interpreter and the third that you had a few hours of conversation before she skipped out on you.  I have met a few very nice women from Moscow and some real beetches from villages in Ukraine, but that fact doesn't give me the ammunition to come to ANY conclusion.  I think Charles is correct in stating that where the AM lives should dictate where he looks.  As an example, think about King Dande's problems with bringing a city girl to his farm.  As a rule you have to consider that RU/W are used to a lot of interaction with other people on a daily basis because they walk every where.  They meet friends and aquaintences daily in their walks.  I know my wife had some major adjustments to life in the suburbs because of the lack of contact with others.  She didn't come from a major city, but a city of 500,000.  The bi difference, as I see it, is here in America we cherish our privacy.  Where as in Russia/Ukraine, they are much more social.  Also dishonesty and insincerity are not limited to big city FSU women.

You know Ken, I feel you like to cause a little trouble at times: "skipped out on you". KenC, this woman was scheduled to leave on a train at a given time. She was not with me. I met her when a group of 7 people formed around me in the train station in Moscow. She was sitting with an older woman sitting across from me. All I can say is that you say I did not speak to one of them. I did speak to all of them. I just liked their personalities. The women I was most impressed with were not women who advertised, or from the cities. They were not women who had received 2,000 letters due to advertising in the Anastasia catalog. I have no arguments with anything you or Charles say. So why do you insist on picking a fight? It is not what you say, but how you say it. Is it arrogance, or just a need to insult. But I still hold to MY view, which is not yours, and not Charles, and not GOD's, that women who advertise can be a better find, and that the smaller cities and villages farther from Moscow, St. Pete, and Kyiv provide the best ODDS to find a sincere woman. There are always exceptions. I think you could find a RW stripper working in Istanbul or New York who would be a great wife, if you looked hard enough.
