Hi Tatiana, I have been to Ukraine, 3 times in the past 16 months, I have even been to your beautiful city OK Kharkov. I first went to Ukraine, 16 months ago, my first time in eastern Europe, having been to almost every country in western Europe. It was a challenge going to Ukraine, not knowing anyone or being able to speak or understand one word of the Russian language. My laptop was my best friend)) But I made it and seen several cities, I really like Ukraine, yet I cant really say why exactly! I went to Ukraine, to meet ladies I "met" on another site, but I finally discovered that the ladies are paid a commission to communicate with men((( Unfortunately because of the low income in Ukraine, this site attracts a lot of women. I have spent a small fortune but gained a lot of knowledge! I am willing to visit Ukraine, and I am yet to visit Russia, Maybe soon!)) I hope the women who have read my post will now realize that I am not fictitious. I live in Australia, which is a long way from Europe. I have spent a lot of my time and resources flying to London and onto Ukraine! I am not seeking cheap thrills or fun.

I am not a farmer.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your response. You are right Eric, seemingly I have caused a bit of a stir. Yes, some of the replies were very opposing, but that is OK. I am not deterred. Unfortunately I spent the last 3 years on a site that has mainly Russian Ukrainian lady members. It is not a favorable site for the men. I agree, I wish I had found this site 5 years ago.

I do know several Slavic people here but I do not tell many people I am on a dating site.

I would love to have a family and I have made preparation for this.

Yana, May I ask why you think the child's interest is not being considered?

Because all children want to have active young parents and active grand parents as long as possible.I remember one my girlfriend,who was born when her parents were 40(now they died both)and she told me even before,that it`s gave her a lot of bitterness,that she always felt sorry,that her father died when she was child,and she never saw her parents young.That`s lack of support and psycological trauma.And compare to people,who normally can know not only grand parents,but even great-grandparents,as we used here.

I know nothing of Australia, unfortunately, but the West is full of mautre parents (who are often much more active and energetic than our young), and everyone feels OK. Grandparents are alive in many cases as well.

Однако на западных сайтах желающих сделать дитя сироткой за 5 лет не нашлось.

Life is a privilege, Yana, and comes with no rights or guarantee. An acquaintance of mine died recently at age 44, everyday young people die. You say the child's interest is not being considered! Do you know of any children of young couples that are mistreated and not well loved? Given the chance would you prefer to be the child of a young mother and father who treats you badly and with little or no love or parent(s) that love you to death and would do just about anything for your happiness? Nothing in live is guaranteed and what is most important is love and happiness. Please don't stereotype. We are all individuals with differing perspectives and values.

Encore, Helga!))

Peter why the Slav,than the Australian women are worse?

Dear Peter. You can find the answer to your question very easy, just put yourself to the lady's place)))
If you were her, a young lady 30 y.o., what would be a real reason to build the family with mature man 65 y.o.? Please, don't tell me about REAL love))))

Hi, Eric. I have seen your photo. You want to hear compliments? OK! You look perfect in your photo, you have a smooth face and supple figure. I'm a bit jealous of you)))... But this is only the appearance. I hope you will not deny that the brains of a 60 year old man different from a young mind. There is a big difference in the perception of the world as a young man and old. One of the signs of old age absence of criticism to yourself. Sincerely, Elena.

Hi Elena, I do agree with you, I am fully aware that I am looking for a needle in a haystack. But the haystacks are out there and so are the needles)) I have always been an optimist, Elena! Moreover, the lady does not have to be 30 or younger, she can be older!

Elena ,

Thank you for your response.Maybe , it was not really clear , why I wrote those words.I was NOT LOOKING ,or SEEKING , your approval , or dis-approval , of my person appearance.

I just wanted , to let you have a comparison.When you asked Peter , if he had done some photoshop on his picture.
For myself , I can assure you , that it is a recent picture , and no editing or photoshop , was ever done.

And as for my own personal state of mind : I REALLY DO HAVE , A VERY GREAT AMOUNT OF SELF CRITISM.
Unfortunately , in my country , it is just the younger generation , who is lacking this.

Self esteem , and self confident , can only be gained , when you are prepared and willing , to critically , analyze yourself , your actions and your behavior.
And as a consequence of that , also to ADMIT WHEN YOU ARE WRONG , OR WHEN YOU HAVE FAILED.

To learn from your mistakes , and to try , to better yourself.

So , to repeat , I was not seeking for your (positive) opinion.I just wanted to make a comparison.

No, Zhanna, Australian women are not worse, just different perspectives and views. For example, as with many western unmarried women career generally comes before a family, where as with Slavic women, family seem to come first and there seem to be family closeness and "together" attitude, in your part of the world. I like the strong family values that you seem to uphold. Finally, Zhanna, your women are very intelligent and beautiful 

Эрик, приятно смотреть на людей, которые следят за своим внешним видом и в солидном возрасте имеют хорошую, подтянутую фигуру, это достойно уважение, только возраст всё равно остаётся, и его к сожалению,не уменьшить. Если мужчине за 60, а его спутнице допустим 30, то мне кажется, что это нелепо выглядит, это противоестественно, красиво, достойно будет смотреться, если рядом с подтянутым, ухоженным мужчиной будет такая же ухоженная женщина, приблизительно его возраста, вот тогда можно будет смотря на них сказать- какая красивая пара!

Надежда,прочитала ваш комментарий и вспомнила уроки истории.После того как Кук открыл Австралию британское правительство начало отправлять туда осужденных на каторгу преступников,многие из этих людей там и остались.P.S.не хочу никого обидеть,просто спонтанно пришло в голову.

Мечтать не вредно,вредно не мечтать.*To dream not harmfully, harmfully not to dream.Существуют мужчины которым нужна жена-дочь,существуют женщины которым нужен муж-папа,муж-дедушка,возможно вы встретитесь..There are men to whom the wife-daughter is necessary, there are women to whom the husband-father,the husband-grandfather is necessary, probably you will meet........P.S.Лично я не могу себя представить с мужчиной 87 лет,ну не могу,,,

Lyudmila ,

Thank you

I'm 33 and I can t meet a man here too(((( for many years

Dear Peter, A chance to find your other half is always there. But of course do not need to look for a very young woman who suits you daughter! You do not look for a woman older than you are 10-20 years old? I think not. Therefore, women do not want to see next to an elderly man. Be realistic - that's my advice and pay attention to the woman of your age group. I wish you happiness!
