Financial issues with your RW/UW?

[BURKE89]

To clarify what I'm trying to ask: How have many of you, superfluous of your relationship/s status, have breached the issue of money?(of course, those who have tied the knot...) By money, I'm not referring to the costs involved in bringing your potential wife to what ever country you reside in; more along the lines of its' "purpose" in the West.

Issues such as:

Budgets, checking accounts, 401ks, Mortgages, credit, interest rates etc. I'm not trying to over-generalize a lack of aptitude, regarding FSU women, on these subjects, but... it's been rather awkward in corespondence.

Of all people, it was the venerable *JOE* who made me think about this issue even more. In a certain political spat, he said (not verbatim), " You forget... theze women you wish far... are products of Socialism..." Combine this, with some of the other comments I've gathered on the subject matter and it only complicates my thoughts.    

I know, it's a very droll subject in intial romantic chats, yet it has to be done. I realize, a married fellows' views/experiences are going to differ from others less advanced in the quest; but, I imagine others might have fairly "refined" approaches or views as well.

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated,  (even from the recent transplant to our golden state!)

Cheers,

Vaughn

well I can't believe I'm responding to post that was actually inspired by the venereal *JOE* LOL!!!! But it is a good point. I have discussed finances with my lady & she is very apprehensive to discuss it in writing. She prefers in person. I have told her certain things about my income & profession for obvious reasons. I would rather point it out than have her come over here & realize I'm not a rich guy or something. I don't know about other guys here but perhaps this is ONE thing that should be discussed in person.

Instead of venerable, you said: "venereal" ...

As in: "...Of or relating to a sexually transmitted disease"

So, which was it?

Enquiring minds want to know...

"was that a typo, a clever pun, or a Freudian slip?"
a typo-never
a clever pun-how clever can it be with absolutely no meaning or origination. It would be more prevalent to use your name concerning your sexual escapades with women you have only 'known' for a couple of hours!
a Freudian slip-you mean like you guys actually having gonorrhea of the mouth-that makes sense
I just hope that you too keep this wit when your girl comes over. She will be very impressed and can tell all of her friends and parents how clever her new 'man' (and I use the term loosely) loves to sit around and joke a bout sexual diseases. You guys are awesome. I wish I could join the club-I am just not so clever. Darn......
I guess I just must go back to my lovely wife and head to the beach to see another sunset-man it stinks to be me. I wish I was U.
hahahahahahaha

I bet you just WOW the ladies. I bet people just sit for hours with baited breath waiting to hear every syllable of every word that you utter. You may have to be new hero. To take such a eloquent work like venereal and use it as an adjective to describe a person you know nothing about. I would usually find this not only ridiculous but childish and just stupid. But you did it with such brevity and finesse I am speechless. Please keep up the good work. And make sure when share this clever personality over vodka with the Russian men too. I am sure they will get a real 'kick' out of you.......hahahahaha
righttttttt

sexual love-I guess you would relate that to a disease.  Maybe a psychological disease like penis envy is also appropriate?
I think that maybe my thoughts are contagious. Once people climb down of their pulpit and realize that I speak honestly and with sense they feel dumbfounded. It is difficult to admit that you’re wrong. So, no venereal does not mean disease it means sexual love and his was correct in assuming that I am a sexual and a loving person. As you also were correct in claiming that my ideas are contagious and once you have contract honesty and clarity-that I offer- you will never be the same. I am glad I could be of assistance-again.
Peace Love and Harmony

I must heap more, much deserved, praise upon you. It's as if... a cloud has been lifted, from my dreary existence.

Never again, will I spout such spurious venom from my ivory tower. I'm now cleansed of all "reactionary" thoughts; these wretched lies of the last 2,500 years, for all intensive purposes, have only enslaved my soul. -weep weep-

Damned you Joe!!! This new portal, that you have opened for me, frightens me beyond compare. How could I have been... so oblivious, to this new paradigm of values?

I've recently, re-read some of your past scripture in the archives. I now know: my aggeressive & competitive nature is vile and only cooperation... will transcend my past respect for "winning." Why, have I been such a fool?

Show mercy on: Mark, Frank & your other numerous detractors. For, they to... will find your wisdom, essential for their very existence. Your moral clarity and consistency, in thoughts and deeds, will prove decisive in this bat... NOOOOOOOOO... I have, so much more to learn...
I to, will learn to expunge these bellicose notions from my heart.

Sincerely,

Marcuse  (formerly Vaughn)
