Kal, I think that it is very thoughtful that in your profile you have warned the nice ladies that you have no money. This is certainly a big consideration for any of them trying to choose a life partner. This is a good strategy for you, too, because probably, only women who are independently wealthy will consider you, and there are many of them here.
During my time here, I have discovered only motivated, positive, polite, hard-working and responsible women; many with excellent and established careers. Not even once have I encountered a girl here on the site who was here simply because they were desperate to met someone who would take them to greener pastures (of course, they may exist). Most of these girls seem to have adapted to their situations and seem to love their countries. Surely everyone would like to find love and happiness with a future soul mate, but most of these girls appear to be quite happy where they are. They are simply looking to share their lives with someone who can make things even better.
About the west: I do not know about Sweden, but in the US, finances do not automatically require that both spouses work in order to survive. Not necessary to be a slave to the bills. Usually both spouses work here because they desire a higher standard of living; more stuff, if you will. Sometimes, couples make sacrifices to reach a higher standard of living that costs them everything, including their relationship. The girls here on the site seem to realize that money isn't everything, that it is only a means to an end and that end is happiness with someone who brings them fulfillment. The rest is simply how you will share that life together. Personally, I would support my wife in her career because it brings her pleasure; something to do together that gives her a feeling of accomplishment.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding, Kal, but may I offer some constructive words regarding your post?
You started your remarks by saying you would like to ask a question; however, the only question you asked was, "Could it be that you are closing in on the West?" To me, it is not clear who is "they". Also, in what manner do you feel are "they" closing in on the West? The remainder of your paragraph is a series of statements that read as follows:
Some women do not lie about it, others pretend.
One even accused Russian men of not being able to support her.
In the West, both [spouses] must work in order to bill the bills.
Only a few can spend money without having to think about it. The rest have to be careful with money.
If it's money you [the girl] are looking for, don't look my way. It would be better if you [the girl] would look closer to home, despite the fact the ruble is sinking like a rock.
I separated the above comments from your original "question" trying to better understand your meaning. This seems to confirm my original interpretation: your current financial situation would force any woman you married to have to work in order to pay the bills. Perhaps it is only my perspective, but it seems you are the one mentioning money and the fact that living where you are would require two salaries to exist. Do not misunderstand me, you are being very honest and open and I'm sure the ladies appreciate your candor; however, right now might not be a good time to insult the ruble.
Many people are experiencing difficulty because of the ruble and it is not very polite to mock their hardship and their currency. Not a good way to win friends and influence others. I try to imagine how I would feel if I lost half my lifesavings while some outsider mocked it; seems a bit insensitive. Just my humble opinion. Get more butterflies with sugar than with vinegar...good luck in your search, Kal.
