I agree that the manner in which your post was presented and discussed is the kind of quality exchange of information that we would like to see more of.  I agree with most of the sentiments that have already been expressed, and would add that most of the FSU women I have met, including my wife's relatives, would not be receptive to a $230/month allowance.  When I went through this process several years ago I was uninitiated and offerred all kinds of money for my wife.  She got right upset with me and I learned not to bring it up again unless she asked for something specific, like English lessons, visa costs, etc.  That's the kind of woman you ought to be looking for next time.  Best of luck.

the RW I have met here have pushed their husbands. They were not satisfied with mediocrity. I have seen men over 50 go back to graduate school, I have seen men leave their jobs of 25 years to pursue better things. Is it risky? Hell ya but that is what this process CAN be about. My wife never asked me for a dime........but she should not have too. If I know she needs money to live better------that is the kind of man I am. I have seen men buy their wives 1/4 karat diamonds form Walmart.........hey you get what you ask for in this life.

ps Yes my wife is a real beatch at times but within the first year of her being here my cost has tripled..........but my income quadrupled. She will not let me accept less..........and I thank her for that.

Moscow is the most expensive city in the world.......yes more than NY city. There are people in NY making $100 week. But they do not live so well. There are people making $100 a month in Moscow, again.......not living so well. I assume being 35 years old and bring over a 26 year old physician, you may have over shot. You have to realize that their highschool education is superior to our University. So I would say lower your standars, find someone your own age and some one you can relate to. This is not a slam. I would not marry a doctor and I have a extensive post graduate education. Good Luck

......extensive post graduate education didn't include math. Or diplomacy for that matter. ;-)

He may be less intelligent than her but there is no way to tell that from his schooling, only from his actions. Fwiw, the majority of FSU women I've met are none too bright, in spite of their "higher" level of education.

And whats wrong with MDs? I almost married an FSU doc, one of the sweetest women I've ever known. She *was* smart but the problem was I simply couldn't handle all that sugar and spice.

I think I know what you mean but I could be wrong.

.....Maybe it was too much femininity. Too romantic, too gushey, afraid of mice, that kinda thing. I need a mix between an FSU and A/W, some adventurism, independence, someone able to take the risks I do (or at least handle my taking them) without being butch at the same time. Someone with more worldly experience. Most FSU chicks have lived sheltered lives. Contrary to some, I don't want 100% control of the relationship, I don't have a need to be "the man" at all times. (They get so they expect that and it cramps my style.) So far, I've found that mix in who I have now. It's one of the advantages of semi-westernized women. Make sense?

Lol...or maybe her hooters just weren't big enough, I dunno.

Hey LP

That was Yoe's math. He didnot read my original or follow-up post correctly! I noticed his mistakes,I suspect that we all did.I am just to kind to point them out.

I was merely drawing a parallel. My wife still laughs when I tell her people are living on $30 a month in an FSU metropolitan area. Again I will say-if you feel that it is too much money for her-you go there for a few months on this money and see how it feels.

As LP said-this is only for those who have been there and ‘know’ their ladies. Not for the smucks who are in love and have not even met the broads………
