Ben it’s really starting to worry me that I’m starting to think like you!! I worked out the maths too it don’t make good reading... I think what is actually more alarming than Eric dating a 28 year old is the fact he speaks no Russian!! Unless his target wife has a liking for Nazi war films or Cronicles of Hitler, I fail to see how they can have anything in common or share mutual interests. Without being disrespectful to Odessa (having been there) I think he needs to get himself down there has there are many young girls with old men texting there friends and drinking the man’s money looking fantastic and dressed fantastic late teens or early 20s with pot belly bold Americans in lates 60s or 70s and you can see zero chemistry also many with there friends has interpreters on a western wage paid by the stupid man! Who has no idea about love or the local economy! My dad was +20 years older than my mum but they spoke the same langugue so I’m not saying age matters (WITHIN REASON!!!!)... I also note that both Ben and myself speak Russian Ben most likely better than me however in England there are only 25,000 Russian speakers and you get more respect for making a effort with langugue and culture than just expecting to be a 70 year old German speaker looking for abit of “Slavic Candy” (apologies for the metafor)
