You would be able to change their lives and marry a Russian?

Marry them to give them a better life?
Marriage isn't about charity and a free green card ..

i could marry a russian but not to change her life like that is just benefit marriage and its worthless

Agree...

A lot of Russian girls are pretty dame cute though ;)

I don't know, is there a 'try before you buy' option? (joke)

A long distance relationship with someone outside your own country needs a lot of thought in my opinion, and not to be entered in to lightly, it takes time and money to get to know each other by meeting up which you must do as well as emails, Skype, etc.

Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in your search.

90% of Russian and Ukraine women date men online for money to be remitted to them via Western Union.
They email with semi-nude pictures to lure men and then ask money, starting with translation expenses and so forth. They have family, they have a job as well, then why ask money?

70ido is right most of the community are relationship prostitutes.

Ok I have a bit of experience with this, I met a great lady lets call her Yana, spoke to her for about three months, on the phone every other day, made plans for christmas.

My self-esteem was up there with Brad Pitt, then came the email that she needed financial assistance with flights, she couldnt quite make the money for the flights, ok I thought she only needs bout �100, 5 minutes later after saying yes I can do that.

Request to call a travel agency for her international passport (aren't all passports international ?),visa, travel expenses, flights etc etc.

Told her outright sorry I cant just spend �2000 like that, I can come over directly in the new year to her - never heard from her again.

Like anything there are people that abuse the system and people, was I taken in emotionally sure, was it embarrasing that I told my folks yep.

General rule of any foreign dating ensure they already have a 100% legit visa, passport etc.

One hundred per cent!

American girls Will get angry

I would marry anyone if we're in love,but thanks to mingle I know and understand the nature of long distance relationships,just a different country,no problem,but that really looonng distance, !!!

Who knows? One thing for sure they furnish their own way here to US! But it wouldn't be to get a Greencard!!

I would change your life completely and send you a free ticket to Syria

If a Russian woman wants to move to where I am, then I'll consider her.

Ok.. as long as she can cook and clean..
.. and has the capacity to learn new things.... ;-).. I'm in..

You guys could get lucky, for sure.
If they live in Siberia, they are used to entertaining
themselves. This can only be a good thing.

..yes.... nothing wrong with watching..

.. it could be quite entertaining..lol...

... you know unlike American women..
. Middle Eastern women know how to express themselves.....ohhh.. I did not just say that did I...

Personally, I do not think it matters the nationality of the person (woman), as long as your both in the relationship for the right reasons. I do understand the prior posters' concerns and agree that some individuals do take those approaches.

I have no experience with a long distanted relationship that's thousands of miles, but feel they can work as long as a great amount of honesty is involved, your not committed immediately, both share there lives, an understanding who is going to move to what country and for what reasons, etc. Immigration laws do require certain requirements and not always agreeable upon.
