Thank you for the question. I would like to answer now.
No, on the one hand, Russian and Ukrainian women are not like that . They of course want to have financial stability, but money is not the center of their universe. But usually they realize a problem. They want to live with the man , they love. And in your case, it means that they need to know that there is a chance to move to you. And for this some money are needed. The visa of the bride or wife, some travelling to each other, maybe to move the child of the woman - all this needs some money.

Thank you just wondering are most of the women able to and willing to help with these costs?

I'm not a RU/UA woman but, in my humble opinion, they're like women (and men) from anywhere; some care a lot about money and some don't. Some want a lavish lifestyle and some are content to live modestly. You could say the same thing about American women. I realize that's a broad answer but you're generalizing an entire group of people (American women) and then asking people here to generalize an entire other group (RU/UA women).

As Nira somewhat alluded to though, the very nature of "international dating" is expensive. Trips half way around the world several times a year (or more) doesn't usually come cheap and it will only be more expensive if you find your love and decide to move her to the US, so finances are a very legitimate concern.

Jason,
Not only women from Russia want to be sure their future husbands from other countries have enough money to have a decent life but American government wants such thing as well.
An American citizen who wants to marry a woman from another country has to meet a certain financial USCIS requirement. It means you must have a stable income enough to support yourself and your future foreign wife.
I would advise you to get familiar with this information on USCIS site to make sure you are qualified to file a petition for Fiancee visa - the only legal way of bringing your future wife to the USA to marry you.

Hi Jason.
The ability to help with all the necessary costs and the willingness to do it are two different things. In my country having an average salary I'll need to save up money for about 4-5 months to buy a one-way ticket to the USA. Taking this fact into consideration do you find it reasonable? Should a woman spend her life saving up money because one day she might meet an American? I don't think so.
Before a man registers on an international dating site he should Google what salaries we have here/how we live/what we expect from a man. If you marry a woman from abroad you take responsibility for her in any relation. Besides you need to remember that English is not her native language. So when she comes to the USA you'll be the only person she'll be able to rely on.
Now let's think about the things your future wife will need.
1. Language. If her English is not good you'll need to pay for courses/tutoring because without knowing a language she won't be able to work.

Jason, hi, Although it is hard to make general statements as you did and as Tim pointed out, but I  agree with you that I also find, unfortunately, American women very shallow. I spent several months to find an American girlfriend both in normal day to day life and also in dating sites, but they just care for the athletic looks and tall height and if you have money or not. For example you can be average in all categories but can have a super career and a very well educated man, they do not care for those nice qualities in general. A lot of women in American dating sites have told me that they really do not care about a man's career and education and intellectual qualities. IF a man brings 100 thousand US dollars per year, whether it is from scientific and space explorations in Mars, or from selling illegal drugs, or some other job, 90 percent of the American women I talked to said they do NOT care "what the source is" as long as you manage to bring 100 thousand US dollars per year. I have observed and been in those situations many many times. So that is very common among the women in the US. Most American women are after an "eye candy" and good money! 

Excellent post, Kristina, and very well said!

Thank you, Tim  

Jason ,

Some of the women , have already given you , some really good advice.But , there is more to this , that meets the eye.

I understand , that this is just a general question.To me , it sounds , as if you have , already , got to the decision , that an American woman , is not your choice.

The next question is , how do you will get into contact , with a possible , candidate from EE or from Russia ?

You understand , that this is not going to be easy.And , when you have found someone , you will at least , have to visit her in person!!

It may take , a second visit , and , then , it may not be certain , that you two , will be compatible , with each other.

Of course , it will be easier , and cheaper , if you can communicate / correspond , via Skype , Whatsapp or , whatever programm.

Have you ever been to EEurope , or Russia ??What do you know , about these countries , and the people`s life , over there ??

Tim, Sam, Eric, thank you for your answers. You talk like a true gentleman.Actually this is a very serious topic. If a man wants a serious long relationship, he needs to know this information. Most women on the site not looking for money and looking for love, understanding, mutual support. Most want to work in a new country. But we need your support and attention. It is very difficult to adapt in a new country. Special thanks to Christine for full details.

Jason,
You asked for advise and people spent time and helped you. You visited the site the last couple of days but did not even bother to say polite "Thank you". I wonder if you find this quality of yours attractive to women (and not only to them)?

Marina ,

You are welcome.And , I agree with you , that it is difficult , for AnEE or Russian woman , to get used to a new life , in a
foreign country.

So , it is of the ultimate importance , that she , knows , understands , believes and is 100% sure , that her man , will
stand by her , and be the person , on who she can rely , for ALL of the issues , which may arise.

And , I don`t need to mention this , but just to point out , that a good communication , will be of vital importance , in these situations.

So , how good is your Russian ... ?
(I`m a bit behind with my lessons) ((((

Eric, thank you for your answer. You speak very true words. My Russian is very nice))

Thank you all for you impute. Upon reflection my question was to vague. And general. I found the responses helpful as to what it dose involve monetarily if I do connect with a women from this site. Thank you again all. An wish the best of luck to you all in finding that special some one

вам нужна девушка 20лет?Зачем ей мужчина в возрасте бедный!Такой брак обречен на разлуку! 

Нам нужен мужчина с характером и с поступками , воспитанный и ответственный.

нет для русских женшин самое главное чтоб их любили .ценили . заботились и уважали ДЛЯ них семья очень важный фактор 

Dear Jason. I very hope, that not, but expirience said "yes, the most of them" but it's not meaning "all". And it's looks like sickness that goes around the world. Everyone looking for beautiful life, but now it needs too much time or resources (material and moral) and money - it's the fastest way to be "happy". More problems we have- more money we want, isn't it? Most of us forgot, that we can found happiness in simply things with people without billions in a bank , but it's very sweet - to have billions in a bank.
Sorry 4 my grammar mistakes  haven't practice  

Irina, the USCIS income requirement for sponsoring a fiance visa is quite minimal - 125% of US poverty level (about $20,000 annually for a household of 2). In America, this could be categorized as an entry level wage, and in most circumstances would be insufficient for the purpose of supporting a foreign spouse.

Terrance,
Yes, I know this. You will be surprised to know that some men in the USA who are looking for women from other countries cannot even meet this minimal requirement. One of my girlfriends 10 years ago married a man whose parents became his cosigners for K-1 visa because his own income was not enough for this. She wanted to leave Russia and she had no idea about poverty in America. She found out about it very fast after arriving to the USA...

I personaly think that, in the US anything below 36 thousand dollars annual gross income (before taxes) is kind of the too little of an income level for a couple to have an acceptable life, and about 48 thousand gross is needed to have a modest to comfortable life but nowhere near great! And the cost of living will significantly depend on the location/state, and whether this is in a big city or in a rural area, or in a small town.

For your information 36 thousand annual gross income before taxes means you will have about 2000-2400 dollars per month NET after all the taxes are paid off. It is hard to say an exact number as it will vary depending on the state and if there are any dependants or not.

Везде есть женщины, и такие, и другие. В пещерах женщина оценивала мужчину по куску мамонта, который принес. В современном мире женщина на подсознании оценивает мужчину по тому, как он может прокормить семью. Есть мужчина с нереализованным потенциалом. Но с появлением женщины мужчина раскрывается. Начинает зарабатывать и может прокормить семью. А есть просто не способные мужчины. Найти же мужчину с потенциалом и вместе реализовать его интереснее, чем прийти на все готовое. Но переезд, виза и другое - это должны быть общие затраты или затраты мужчины.

Есть мужчины, которые на всю жизнь так и остаются - "с высоким потенциалом", не факт, что он реализуется, причины могут быть разные: обстоятельства не сложились (у меня есть знакомый - маляр, хотя начинал учиться в медицинском, но родители заболели и ему пришлось работать, а потом уже не до учебы стало) или просто не способен работать, да мало ли. Не факт, что все старания жены помогут реализовать потенциал, поскольку иногда, к сожалению, за высоким словом "потенциал" скрываются только амбиции и видимость способностей, которые начальник не увидел-не оценил и т.п.

Even at mexico, north women here behaves as the same you said, it does not matter who are you, only wants money and nothing more... I have that experience

In the US a lot of women also just look for the very good-looking tall athletic man. He can be a really bad person but it doesn't matter... most want the super good-looks... and many many others, as you said, are after the wealth and money! It has been a huge disappointment and waste of time for me to try to find a nıce girlfriend in the US.

Hello,Sam )))) You know  I've met lots of men in my life by different ways , but no one of them looked for unbeautiful woman    Same here on the site - men look for really younger beautiful women , good educated , sweet character, without kids ext   

birds of feather flock together.

Если женщина не обращает на Вас внимание, значит это не Ваша женщина. Не верю, что в Америке все мужчины миллионеры с голливудской внешностью, может быть 1%. 99% - это обычные люди с обычной внешностью и обычной зарплатой, допустим даже 90%. Простая математика: сейчас в США проживает 100 миллионов. Предположим, половина на половину. Итак, 90% * 50 миллионов = 45 миллионов (обычных мужчин). Если женщины выходят замуж только за 10% из всего мужского населения (богатых и красивых), то получается, что 45 миллионов женщин в США не замужем.

А вам самому деньги не нужны? Мужчины еще более меркантильные люди . И вы сейчас этим постом это подтверждаете. Мы притягиваем тех, кем сами являемся по сути внутри себя!) Чтобы в нашу жизнь приходили нужные люди,начинать надо с себя. Да,русским женщинам нужны деньги в числе всех земных радостей!)

All over the world people are the same, and different all at once. In general women want to be sure they are taken care of. Not every woman cares that you have 12 cars and a mansion but every woman wants to know you're stable, can provide and that they won't have to worry about day to day needs all the time. You don't need to be rich. You just need to have a stable job and the ability to take care of yourself and them as well. And even then you'll find several women don't want even that, they want to work and support themselves.

Bottom line - much like the USA, women around the world are all different. But to have any hope, just like in the USA, you need to be stable and be a provider. Also, speaking in terms of international relationships - moving is extremely expensive. Visiting to meet each other in person is extremely expensive. The legal and physical process takes time and money. You're going to be footing that bill, you can't expect them to. And if they see that you can't or don't want to, naturally they'll move along because they don't want to talk online forever.

Здравствуйте Джейсон. Люди все разные и на Украине и в России есть женщины которым важен финансовый статус мужчины, его счёт в банке. Но много и таких которые хотели бы жить с хорошим, честным человеком. На деньги нельзя купить друзей, любовь и счастье.
