Greek it is no doubt worse now than pre 2003 but you have a tendency to down play that the mentality has not changed much. News flash......it was not that easy back then. We may think Ot was because it is better than now but most guys weren't getting laid ONS back then. You paint rosy pictures that were not the case. Heck. You and me probably even met back then. But I actually new the guys who were the best at the time and they still had trouble. Probably more ONs now then back then.
Sure we got more attention because being an outsider was COOL. But the girls still played the extract the mineral game. Maybe because you are so quick to give padaracks that you don't recognize the hardship that us non spenders had back then???now if you are talking about 1994-1999 then I would agree with you. The long term expats who o know who loved there that period all thought it was better.
Agreed.
I reckon I was in the Ukraine before anyone on this board pretty much. I touched down into a run down and fucked up Kiev in April 1993. I was walking along the Kreschatic before there was any neon on it. Were women throwing themselves at me? Haha, nope, unfortunately not. Did the waitresses in cafes slip me their numbers? Nope. Chamber maids in the Hotel Bratislava where I stayed ( room 606 I still remember that rock hard single bed )? Nope. Moscow was the same in 1993. It was easier than now but were women throwing themselves at me? Nope. It's a bit of a myth at just how easy it supposedly was. It was easier than now, 100%, I have some funny stories from those times but it wasn't the case that models were trying to seduce you for your passport. That is a myth. I know because I was there.
You know I just realize something else that can cloud us FOGEY's view.Years ago we were younger and of course it was easier getting with younger women. One of the reasons it might be harder for the over 30 group is that they are still pursuing the young ones. In fact in the last decade one thing I have notice is even large age differences are NOT as acceptable or desirable as once was. There are even older FSU chicks willing and sometimes preferring to date younger guys..unheard of years ago.
For example I remember Wolverine(Russian born) was experimenting with VK.com. He thought it was pretty useless.Girls didn't really want to chat with people they didn't know ,regardless if foreign or not.Other guys reported the same thing. The girls on there don't seem to want foreign friends ,etc .BUT it seems younger RVF who are under 25 say they do ok on it. That tells me right there that they seem more trusting when there is not a large age difference(VK seems to be 90% under 23). Maybe if we were younger it would be like pre -2005.It is us that got older lol.
In fact it's the other way around, the young guys 25 and under don't have it easy with girls say 21-22 because they're more interested in the guys 30-40.
The younger Ukrainian guy has little to offer in terms of wealth, sexual and life experience.
VK.com works great for some
