Eastern European Girl Confession

G,
generally speaking, your style is more suited for USA, Canada, Latin America, Britain, and less so for Russia, Germany, France, or any other similar "thinking" society. Your lack of success with FSU girls stems from the fact that you have a style that is highly incompatible with their cultural mindset. No offense personally, but you come across as having a big persona which overwhelms with flash and certain retro-rhetoric that is book-learned... to the point that any substance you may have takes a back seat to everything else. I was born and raised in Europe, but culturally am rather American (having spent there most of my life) and even as a man, as your fellow brother-in-arms, I find your persona overwhelming in a wrong way. I mean look at your forum posts, each sentence starts in a new paragraph. I mean, c'mon, who else does that? And even your signature contains nine separate lines (by far the largest sig around). So even if you write five short sentences your posts actually unnecessarily takes 28 lines of space (counting white lines), instead of one line as the case is with most everyone else. So you grab most of screen real estate for no reason other than your unabashed strategic love of your marketing self. Which again signifies all flash, and no substance. You might as well be a bull in a china shop if you know what I'm saying. By carelessly throwing your weight around a lot of Europeans will see you as this big, loud American buffoon who's trying to transfer his marketing-driven lifestyle into their midst (which isn't culturally compatible).
I don't know anything about you personally but from the little I read by way of your storytelling narrative I picture you as a kind of guy who rolls (you don't just arrive, you roll-in) in front of a club in a Cadillac Escalade (you need a large car to fits your large personality) with a crew/entourage of your trusted homeys. In a custom suit (oops make sure that purple pocket square doesn't get wrinkled), extending your regular valet guy a warm greeting consisting of elaborate urban handshake (also a hand in which a crips 20-dollar bill is folded), and an offer of Monte Cristo (from a custom designed box of course) fresh from Habana Vieja ... every step of your way during entire evening carefully pre-planed and pre-designed ahead of time.
I don't care if this is actually true or not, the point is that it could well be true because it corresponds with your self-portrayed public persona (of a bit of a timeless gentleman with old school values (back when crime figures were contributing members of community) who at the same time is fool of himself because he believes THAT is what takes for him to be winning). Now, that may be a fly way to roll in the US society which is enamored with superficial and hates any examination of real depth, but try that in Russia and you will look downright silly (besides, your old school values are uniquely American to begin with as old school values in Russia are entirely different). So to a Russian girl, it gets problematic when your entire persona and social interactions start appearing contrived, and foreign to boot.
And you admit to being a bit of a chatterbox, too friendly, and you smile too much. For a person whose avatar is that of a gun, I mean, what's up with that?? You'd have much better success if you clued in on all the nuances, and had a dark, brooding stance, your unwavering body language leading the way. The what you do, not what you say (as long as what you do isn't fake). Russian/Serbian/Bulgarian women love strong, silent types. Mystery goes a long way there. And mystery is totally opposite of your Muhammad Ali game. See where the problem is?
Everyone has to understand that these women grew up on Soviet-style cultural paradigm. That means hearing of all the troubling and heroic times from their parents and grandparents and the state, including reading the books that are substantial in their examination of human condition. By the time they are 16-year-olds virtually all of them have read Anna Karenina and Brothers Karamazov, and Trial, while by the time they are 16 - American and British girls read Harry Potter. See the difference? Not to mention that they are very clued in on the American fake culture emanating from contemporary Hollywood where fame is a product of hype machine (Hilton, Kardashian, etc.) and not a byproduct of talent or earned success... and whose values then spill over in a look at me society at large. So regular Russian women (not to be confused with gold-diggers and visa-whores) are very rooted in the reality perspective, and that's why they don't care about anyone's accessories-filled persona, particularly if they are perceived as being a result of some hype machine.
In short, they just want you for you.
They want you as a M - as in Man, not as a M - as in Marketing Manifesto.
They want a real man-person, not a contrived man-concept.
