Sure, Amir seemed great in his online dating profile: a dentist and recreational snowboarder with adorable, non-ironic facial hair, but he was a total bore on that first dinner date. (Really? Red Lobster?)

Anyone who’s registered with a dating site can tell you how often those matches who seem so promising online end up being duds IRL (in real life).

The folks behind HowAboutWe, a newly-launched dating service profiled by Mashable have designed a solution to that problem: forget about those vanity profile pictures shot in front of the mirror or those contrived lists of favourite activities, users choose their matches based on the dates they propose.

The site is of the same vein as Alikewise, where you can look for matches based on book tastes.

One 32-year-old male Torontonian and user of HowAboutWe offers: How about we... pretend we're tourists in our own city and go see the sights we've been meaning to...but haven't yet.

A 25-year-old woman from Montreal suggests: How about we... go skiing for a day and learn to know each other on the lift

In an attempt to better communicate with Russian women, many members of RussianLoveMatch are attempting to learn the ladies' native language. While we applaud and encourage these efforts, our email system cannot handle Cyrillic characters so we ask that gentlemen write emails in English only.


At times, Cyrillic characters may pass through the system with no problems but they usually cause a variety of issues including emails being cut short or not being visible to the lady, characters appearing as meaningless symbols, gentleman being unable to type a full message, etc. Members of RussianLoveMatch don’t have to pay extra for translation, so why risk sending a faulty message when our translators can help you successfully communicate with a Russian lady? If things go well, you’ll be able to practice Russian in person soon enough.

Ukrainian singles can be good spouses. These women are kind, loving, beautiful, charming. You can ask us why Ukrainian singles don't marry men from Ukraine? Some females in Ukraine marry men from their country and live together happily. But not all Ukrainian women can marry Ukrainian men - some of Ukrainian singles can not find the math for them, others went through divorce. Therefore some Ukrainian singleswant to find their future husbands abroad. Some men from Europe and America are looking for their future wives among Ukrainian singles, because they are not only beautiful, but females from Ukraine are good life partners too. Most women form Ukraine are well-educated, cultured, open-minded. Moreover Ukrainian singlesare good-looking, they look after their beauty, follow fashion.

Exist some reasons why Ukrainian singles want to marry men abroad. First of all, in Ukraine population of women exceeds the men population in 3 times. That is why 2 women from 3 can not create family - because of shortage of men. The other reason, most Ukrainian men don't want or can not maintain their family on due level. Some Ukrainian men didn't get accustomed to earn money and work, others - don't earn enough money. Therefore some men don't want to marry, have children, because they are afraid they will not be able to maintain their family. Western men earn money in necessary quantity and can maintain family. Moreover most Western men are family-oriented and love children. Most Ukrainian singles want to have children too. In that way, marrying Ukrainian singles, Western men will have good, loving, devoted wives and caring moms for their children.

The most unique beach wedding reception ideas are sparked by
imagination not tradition. Never mind etiquette, tradition
and timelines. That information is outdated and stuffy. Do
what will make you and your guests happy. It is a time for
fun and celebration, not pomp and ceremony!

Long gone are the days of "assigned" seating arrangements
and cookie cutter reception programs. Everyone waiting to
be told what to do next. Yawn! Today, you can "have it your
way". No, I am not suggesting that "Burger King" host your
reception. But, you could, IF you wanted to! That's the
message.

Guys..

Watching a Russian Woman eating a meal is like a ZEN Meditation exercise in..

P A T I E N C E . . . .

(now breath deeply.. and say.. Ooooooommm)

Lately I’ve noticed a strange thing..

I often get incoming traffic from links that were put up by some of our readers on different discussion boards and forums.

Naturally I go and check them out and sometimes even make a comment or two..

On some of these boards if I go back a few days later or even a few hours later the original thread is gone..

Obviously someone has complained or felt that they were “offended” by the topics we discuss.  Looks like there’s nothing like a little international competition against American and Western Women to seriously ruffle feathers.

Try it yourself and see what happens..

When I passed this story on to a group of ladies with whom I was talking to today..

They were Completely Stunned that American Men would EVER take notice of something like this.

Or in other words..

They were MORE Surprised that WE Were Surprised that a Russian Woman would regularly prepare a meal in the manner that she does for her loved ones.

They were even more amazed when I told them that I had learn how to cook for myself a very long time ago.. And that most Men in the US also know how to cook for themselves too.

When ever this subject comes up in the company of Russian Women the question is ALWAYS the Same..

“Don’t American Women Cook?”

Unfortunately PETA ..

But I'm very fond of referring Russian lady in a fur coat.

If you live in a place like Siberia, there is simply nothing more incredible to watch especially during the long winters here.

And you know that the greatest thing?

Russian ladies who wear these coats completely without guilt, when they walk in them. In fact they are damn proud of their coats and rightly so.

Russia is one of the few countries in the world where the number of abortions more than the number of live births.

For example, in 2001, 1.32 million children were born in Russia and 1.8 million abortions were performed.

These figures are especially tragic, given that Russia is facing a disastrous demographic crisis with the United Nations estimates that Russia could lose more than half of its population by 2050.

One oddity of the United States and living in Russia is a full day and night difference in attitudes toward abortion. In the United States seems to have real political militancy on both sides of the issue.

But in Russia there is ZERO public debate on this issue.

If any of you gentlemen personally know Russian or former Soviet woman ..

Then, Today is a day to once again extend your deepest worship and to make her feel like a real lady.

(These women also love to pamper and make each other feel beautiful on this day, too.)

So pick up that phone ..
