Well, I know there have been a lot of changes in where I've come from since I left. There have been a lot of new land developments and hotels, etc
( ... )
Also, there is almost no feminism in Russia. (What there is wouldn't be seen as feminism by Western women.) This will cause some problems just because of the respect that I am used to showing here. **What kind of respect are you showing there? Hopefully more than typical American men show us here! I am not a feminist at all, at least the definition that I know of feminist. I mean, I would like to have equal pay as a man. But as far as the home goes, I like my man out in the yard and me in the kitchen. I like my doors opened for me, and I like to take care of my man. So typically I am not seen as a feminist at all.
I learned in university not to open doors or take women's coats. Here, I do that same thing...but I won't mind not having to carry everything for women and doing all the 'men's work'.
And my girlfriend and I met through the internet...in 2001. We were friend for a few years before we decided to try dating. (She even got to hear about some of the girls I was dating while I was dating them--and what an idiot I was with them). Then I came here in 2004. It's actually been a wonderful relationship since. (Maybe except her mother living here. :-) )
Oh, yeah, and she corrected my journal too; her father was the general/managing director of that only cellular communications company in Turkmenistan. Apparently, he was in America for communications exhibitions and conferences. [I know a little about these so I'm sure he had a great time at those conferences--the technological toys are just fantastic at them.]
so were you planning on going to Russia prior to meeting her and therefore specifically look for a Russian lady? Or did you just happen to meet a Russian, fall in love and THEN decide to move to Russie?
I actually never really planned to go/come to Russia.
My best friend then was Russian...thus I wouldn't have preferred Russian women--as he could be annoying and had also introduced me to the difficulty of dating/marrying one.
I still don't prefer Russian women, honestly. I like some of them...but very few would be worth keeping around for me.
She coerced me, I think. Honestly, it was my sense of adventure that really got me here and she kept me here.
Ah! Btw, I got your package yesterday. That's a record! It says that you sent it on April 11...so about 2 weeks...fastest I've ever received anything from the US! Now trying to make time to listen. :-)
Are you now more Russian than American?
that is exciting that your gf gets to come with you. Has she been to the US before?

I think I would normally prefer other women.
