This is a very pessimistic and bitter theory and I'm not quite sure what kind of response you're looking for. Why do you need validation of this condemnation of every member of this site? If you want to look at relationships solely through the lens of a transaction, you're in the wrong place and arguably not suitable for any relationship. So I ask, if this is how you view these women, what brings you here? Are you just here to exploit one of these women you view as desperate? It's not fair to generalize entire nations' desires as entirely based on improving social status. I can't speak for anyone on this site directly aside from myself, but I have read numerous experiences of women in post-Soviet states that cannot find an adequate man, partially due to the significant gender imbalance in former Soviet states (much higher male mortality rate), and even fewer of these men care about family life. This is not to say that there aren't decent men, or rich men in post-Soviet states, just as there can be terrible men and poor men in "rich" countries. There certainly are. But the Ukrainian and Russian women that I've met have not been materialistic, but instead they were simple and decent people who wanted a decent man as a husband above all, not a sugar daddy. Women from post-Soviet states have a lot to offer beyond their appearance, so it's really disappointing that you are treating them like possessions and blaming them for being born beautiful. If women constantly leave you for other men, maybe it's time to stop thinking that they are the problem.
