... in response to Re: Here's the thing..., posted by Beamish on Jan 30, 2003

============
Asking a girl to marry you doesn't mean she is coming to live with you tomorrow, there is plenty of time to get to know each other before that event ever takes place. The fiance visa allows you three additional months to get to know each other as well.
=============

So then... you asked a girl to marry you who you did not know, but planned on getting to know her later? Hmmm.. an interesting strategy... and one that would make $500 for a computer seem like a fiancial bargain before you were done.

It's a LOT cheaper to get to know them there, you know...

====================
Even if I am not being honest, as some of you think, hopefully they will be cautious if ever meeting Svetlana.
====================

Why do you think that?

If you are not being honest, why should anyone believe anything you say about anything?

Surely you have heard the expression: "Fruit from a poisonous tree..." Haven't you?

If you are not being honest, how do we know you even met Svetlana?

==================
As to why I don't post more often, just read this thread. Some of you guy's are pretty brutal.
==================

Shucks, Beamish, this wasn't brutal... as KenC said, the guys were being nice. You don't want to see it when they're brutal...

But again... if you really want to be helpful... why don't you tell us a little more about you and your trip?

You say that you liked the agency that you used? Tell us  about it. Let us know the good things about the agency. I think a lot of the men could benefit from your positive input...

Who'd you use? How much did you pay? How was the service (besides this woman...?)

By all means... tell us more...

That is more helpful than just showing one scammer...

I don't believe you are reading the thread. I have been accused of being dishonest.

I didn't say I liked or disliked the agency I used, nor did I name it.  For the record, I do like the agency, however.

The Agency I used knows what happened, and has pulled her off their site. Besides what happened between me and Svetlana, the trip was very enjoyable.

Although I spent most of my time with Svetlana, I continued to meet new women daily. Thankfully there are a few of them I'd like to get to know better and feel the trip was worthwhile regardless of what happened.

Great... you liked the agency.

We are always looking for positive reports on agencies here, so guys know who they are...

So... what was that agency?

I don't get it... why won't you name it? You liked them. They sound like a good agency.

You want to help guys out... so help them:

Name the agency.

Buy a computer? Doesn't she know about internet cafes? If you had explained that to her, I'll bet the engagement would still be on (yeah, sure).

I was going to ask "Why didn't she ask for some rakes and a leaf blower?", but nah, your grammer is too good for that.

Beamish,
We have a new and improved (gentler & kinder) forum here (for now) and it is very lucky for you.  Let's see now, you proposed to a girl that you didn't even know spoke English?  Just what DID you know about her before you popped the question?  Now you think she might have been a pro?  From what you posted it appears that you asked a complete stranger to marry you.  What on earth possessed you to do that?  Did you honestly think that you had a sincere relationship going with her?  You said that she seemed like a nice girl.  Is that ALL that is necessary for you to propose?  Now you are warning others about this girl's scam?  Let me put this in the nicest way possible:  if a guy is as foolish as you were, it is only reasonable to think you would pop for a puter too.  Or try this one: Why wouldn't you buy your fiancee a computer?  Your beloved only wants to keep in contact with you.  It all sounds reasonable to me.  LOL.

I am sorry about this. One lesson here is that if you ask a complete stranger to marry you-- I don't know if you realize that you did just this--and she says, "yes", expect her, no, count on her absolutely to be a scammer. No serious woman would trust the future of her life and agree to have children with a complete stranger. Think about it. Is there another reasonable conclusion?

I hope you aren't blaming the woman. You may be very successful in business and many other areas of your life. Why you wouldn't be rational when considering marriage is a pretty good question. I sense a deep problem. You'll largely find support here on this list with such problems if you come clean and really want to change. However, if you are a David/SD, who won't admit responsibility, who actually married the kind of woman who, lucky for you, disassociated herself from you, and if you want to brag about your intellect and resist change-- fahgettabowdit. You'll be torn to ribbons here. (Read the archives to see how the shredding's been done.)

Maybe in this specialized age we can start a new spin-off list for people who are interested solely in marrying complete strangers from the FSU (VOMIT: Visit Once, Marry ImmediaTely) and then we can have another list for people who want to develop relationships with FSU ladies with the possible future outcome of marriage.

With stories like this one, I hardly see any connections between what would be the aims of the two lists. I admit that it personally irritates me to continually read stories on this list about people who are blindly setting themselves up to be on Jerry Springer. I wish the VOMIT crowd had another place (list) to peddle their tales of woe. I personally can't support the VOMIT approach and hope your story warns others of this folly.

With your mindset, I think you should quit now and save lots and lots and lots of money...now and in the future.

Best advice....Stay Home!

Your post follows Globetrotter's in the thread... is your comment directed at him or at Beamish? (just for clarity's sake...)

Sorry Globetrotter - I meant Bobby Orr or Beamish, of course; you wouldn't have directed it at yourself (would you...?)
