Here are interesting photos of Rakovsky's lessons:

That girl's about 11 or 12.
Didn't work for my husband. *sigh* He had sisters. Made him immune.
Finally I had to pointedly ask him what he wanted, dare him to marry me, slap a magazine out of his hand and challenge him to look at rings. We were married 10 days later.
In the last 16+ years of marriage, the "baby" trick has never worked on him. Not once. He always says, "You're an adult."
Crap. Now I've ruined everything and I'm stuck in a relationship of mutual respect and friendship.
LOL! Forward them to lowbridge. Maybe he can broker a relationship between these ladies and Nigerian spammers.
A successful "bitch", Mr Rakovsky explains, is neither strident nor sassy, but demure, manipulative and aware of her own sexuality in order to get her own way.
I hope that she is referring to the first (not quite so offensive) russian bitch term "sterva" [demanding woman] and not to "suka" [literally, female dog]
In mine we call it a "trophy wife".
Not to be confused with a future ex Mrs. insert name here.
There are some very beautiful eastern European women to be sure, and when they're beautiful, they're really beautiful. But, with their fair skin and strong genetic tendency to put on weight, their looks are very high maintenance. Many fail, and look quite worn out by their mid 30's.
Beware the bitches ping!
This usually works on me
It is only under freedom that men can assert their natural, God-given male proclivities. I think that's part of the problem we're having in Iraq. People who have lived under oppression for a generation or more lack the skills to master independence, decisiveness and self-reliance after the yoke of tyranny has been shed.
It will take a full generation or more for Russians (and Iraqis) to begin to advance their potential and, if they keep electing people like Putin, they will revert back to the old system before they get that far. There are solid reasons to prop up emerging democracies with economic and political assistance. We take independence and opportunity for granted. It is second nature to us - it's who we are - and constitutes the governing philosophy of our country. We were raised to understand that we can be anything and as successful as we want to be, but that it's up to us as individuals to make the choices and do the hard work that take us where we want to go. It's the second part of that equation that is the stumbling block for those whose only life experiences have been dominated by socialism and dictatorial rule.
Very thoughtful reply. We do take for granted that people will take risks to make a better live for themselves when their society chopped off many of the heads who tried.
They are doomed.
