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 the world of growing faminism Russian ladies have a reputation of very attractive, talented, sociable, obedient, who are not spoilt with latest innovations. Russian brides pay tribute to family life, give childbirth and love passionately their husbands. At the same time immaculate appearance goes very well with inside goodness. Russian girls won an appreciation of very good-looking with a burning look, tender and sociable. 

Russian brides clothe themselves enough sexually, putting on slinky dresses, sheer or any which can show their shape. Hot Russian women aspire to be wished and to be that kind of lady who gentlemen constantly try to conquer. Greater importance for Russian ladies firstly to become partners, after mothers and only then the kind of criterion as professionalism and career come out.

Russian ladies are with really brave spirit and can be defenders of family happiness. Their family has a significant place for them, this is a very important feature which attracts foreigners. Almost all Russian ladies can be excellent householders they can cook, embroider and knit. For Russian brides family life is a complicated job in order that to protect their unit.

We all know how great it feels to find the mate of your dreams and sharing your life and all its special moments with someone special that we can’t wait to share our good news and our good "fortune" with others.

In fact, we can't wait for all our friends to share in the same happiness we've found and frequently can't help playing the "Good Samaritan" or should I say Cupid.

But playing matchmaker for someone or someones you care about can be a risky challenge, especially if things don't work out (as planned).

Friendship and love. Both are so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic friendship possible between persons of opposite sex? Let us try and understand.

What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way. We need not explain anything to our very good friends. The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.

I was reading a comment about American Women that really brought out a much bigger picture that I wanted to share with you. Most American women to me are far uglier inside than they ever could be on the outside. I have met a few that certainly were not lookers in the classical sense,...

Russian women can be incredibly hard working and disciplined when it comes to work or school.

But even in the midst of their concentration and work is still calm and confident beauty that seems to emanate from their aura.

I fully understand that a trip to Russia or the CIS is not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Everyone has the obligation to their studies, work or business, and I know that it can be very difficult to get off the fast-moving treadmill of life to seek love and adventure on the other end of the world.

These problems are further compounded by obvious logistical issues associated with time, money and lack of local expertise.

Or, in other words ..

Once you step off the plane for the first time you can ask yourself.

"Well, I'm in Russia .. What the hell do I do now?"

I know it can be hard to believe ...

But you will not believe how many beautiful girls I've met here who do not believe that they look like models ...

My friend Snejana is a classic example of this.

Incredibly humble with her self-esteem and completely baffled by what I would like to beautify this blog, taking her photos.

I was totally grinning when I read this article today.

I hope you too ..

    To Russia for love

    There are British men on the run from a pint-downing, liberated women of Great Britain?

    While in the field of political rhetoric, Britain and Russia seem to update old rivalries, relations on the ground has never been better. The world market, finally, to come to Moscow, but when it comes to men, Russian women began to buy British.

Unless you’ve been under a rock the last few days you’ve undoubtedly heard about the FBI arresting 10 so called Russian “spies” in the US.

The highest profile member of this band is Anna Chapman, a 28 year old “Femme Fatale” originally from Moscow but currently residing in New York up until the time of her arrest earlier this week.  The mainstream press always hungry for headlines has swooped on this to label her as a “Beautiful and Sexy Russian Spy”.
