Dan,
Was THAT really necessary?  Regardless of your feelings for the man in question or your own personal morals; to call his fiancee a prostitute is hitting below the belt!  Class up Dan,  (I know you can.)

Dan, good post, I agree with you but I think the last paragraph (i.e., "...one other thing. I strongly urge you to *TALK* to your girl. If you are serious about this girl being a life-time partner - and she is equally serious - then you may as well start the habit now of open and frank discussions - about anything. Sex is high on the list of things you should feel free to openly discuss.") for me was a lot easier said than done!  While the physical act of sex seems to transcend international boundries, an attempt to talk about it afterwards can prove frustrating IF the gal speaks only a few words of English!  This is not the stuff that I wanted to run through an interpreter at a sit-around-the-table meeting while eating dinner...  and I positively drew the line at having the interpreter crawl into the sack with us while we all smoked a cigarette!   Has anyone else run into this dilemma?

I speak Russian reasonably-well (at least I *did* before Olya learned English so well -smile-), and still, there were times when intimate subjects posed difficulty for us.

The key, in our relationship, is patience AND the unfailing awareness that what we each hear and *think* we understand may NOT be what the other party intended to communicate.

Approaching the topic from multiple 'angles' has proven invaluable - especially in those delicate (and important) instances where emotions run high and the 'message' is so very crucial.

Dictionaries - both electronic and published, and computer translation tools have helped us at times - but nothing is so powerful as the willingness (and patience) to spend the time to work through the possible ambiguities to arrive at a common understanding.

FWIW

No doubt...

And also it is compounded by the fact that the work "Orgasm" is not found in any Soviet dictionary!

Very nicely done! You call my lady a whore, but hide it inside of "general advice":

The Exact Quote (for those of you who may have missed it): "The type of woman that would jump into bed so quickly is clearly a rarity - unless, of course, it is their individual custom (job) to do so ..."

So... It is Victoria's "job" to jump into bed within twenty minutes, eh? Or custom... I guess it depends if she is a paid professional or just a loose woman, huh?

Yeah... right. What a classy post...

Nice to know that the ladies are left out of comments and posts on here. First Jack, and now you... Very nice... How gentlemanly of you...

I won't bother commenting on your pathetic attempts. You are part of the Bragg Brigade... you can't help yourself...

However, I will say for the record: she didn't jump into bed...

...she was carried...

Get it right...

I see the president of the Dickhead Brigade is making MORE (as in always) false statements.

Ok boy blunder, where did I make a un-favorable comment about some lady?

Forget already Jack?

You should save your righteous indignation for when this stuff gets archived. Then MAYBE it will have been forgotten...

But to be outraged so soon... when your words are still right there in the current forum...

Wow... you're slipping.

To reset for you:

Jack, when I said that good help was so hard to find these days, and you shot back:

"Yea, just like trying to find a GOOD Ukraine woman these days, eh Mark! "

Clear implication: I did NOT find a good woman.

When I called you on it, you tried to pretend it wasn't. But, when I asked you to clarify it, you offered up some lame piece of sarcasm.

I really don't care. I mean... actually, it was one of your better lines.

Why distance from one of the few times you actually showed a modicum of wit?

Well Jack... I've pointed it out twice.

Apparently, you are just too stupid to see it, so I give up.

I'll bet you sit on the toilet every morning saying "Hey, it's true, my sh!t doesn't stink!"
