Moderator: Why did you remove comment #10? It was a wonderful, uplifting comment. What's going on here?

He removed it at my request, I thought I gave too many details about my friend. I'll try again.

It hasn't anything to do with 'feminism.' It has to do with the fact that Russian gals, like everyone else, are looking for decent men, and sometimes decent men are considered too nerdy to be attractive in a competitive bride market here in the States.

Let me say this about Russian women (not from personal experience, mind you, Mrs. Jones is American born; but ...)

Two of my best friends married Russian gals. The first guy took a tour of Russia and just happened to meet a woman in Moscow. In the early 90s.

We assumed the worst. Greencard huntress, predator, fleeing the revolution at any price, yadda yadda.

Turned out she's and angel. And beautiful to boot. They've been married ten years, have a new baby, and couldn't be happier.

She introduced her best friend to another of our circle. They're married too--no kids, but still together after ten years. Both women live here in the States and are now American citizens, but only one (the first one) brought a relative--her mother, who helps care for the baby.

The two guys I know are perfectly happy, as are their wives. And God bless 'em for that.

What did #10 say? Just curious so I don't make the same mistake.

Most of those men wanting a foreign bride through Internet or from foreign bars are losers who in their delusions think they are quite a hunk.
