Planet-Love -- traffic slowing?

...Maybe not for the individual so afflicted but the thought of it always makes me chuckle. They'll get no sympathy from me, anyone who uses that stuff to come to attention has to accept the risk of getting stiffed by it's side effects.

Cyprus still OK? Next time go there from other than Kiev. Say Athens, on Olympic Airways. Did you see the Pennisula? Get up to the Troodos? Did you get out to Aquia Napa and party hearty? Talk! I hope you at least made it outta Lanarca, other than the beachfront it's a dump.

Lavendar Boy (sic) is not of this board thank God. He'd get run out in a second. (well, sad to say maybe not). In fact he makes That Guy (remember him?) look like the Malboro Man. Catch him in all his glory on the RWD. It's rapidly dissolving into another puddle of goo and syrup but he's something to behold if you can stomach him. It's only matter of time before he gets his jets cooled by some FSU floozie.

Blame Jack for him, everyone else does...

I did the "Agro Tourism" thing.  This is a government sponsered program to provide economic stimuli to the villages.  

Basically, to get listed with this program.  A house must meet certain requirements in regards to archetecture and other asthetics in addition to having modern amenities.  I stayed in a village (Tochni) in the foothills northeast of Limassol.  The house was built out of native stone and was a little over 200 years old.  From here I was pretty much able to cover the whole Republic.  I hit the Akimas Peninsula, and spent quite a bit of time in the Troodos.

Byzantine art is a bit of hobby of mine, so I spent quite a bit of time checking out the frescos in the various mountain chapels and monastaries.

I rented a Renault Clio (now I know first hand why they are no longer sold in the US).  In spite of the French engineering I was able to go pretty much every where in this car (even on the Akimas).

Never did do the Agia Napa club scene.  But, I put away some Ouzo and Commandaria in the village taverna.  

Yeah, I like Cyprus when I was away from the major tourist centers.  It is a bit pricey though.  I would say on average about 1/3 higher then here.  

Cypriots are friendly folks.  There was some decent mountain biking (I don't think mountain biking comes naturally to FSU women but I gave her a B- for effort ) and they tell me a guy can even do a little skiing there on Mount Olympus in the winter.  Might have to go back and check that out....

..Yeah, it's as I told you before: Pricy but the people are friendly. Yer lucky that Clio made it through, you know what they say about the French being the engineers in Hell.

Glad it worked out. I like the place too and hope to go back in the next year or so.

I do not know if RWG traffic is up or not.  I do know that I like its format better because it is more organized.  I also know that with the except for the portion about visas the "information" on that board is not to be trusted at best and will get one in a whole heck of alot of trouble at worst, because most of the information is only permitted to be written by the bigger advertisers.  All most guys get to read is what the biggest paying advertisers want him to read.  I feel sorry for a newbie on that board because the information he gets is extremely biased and misleading.  Anyone with an opinion based on experience or one contrary to their "band of brothers" is banned from that board.

HockeyGuy, I can tell you, based on personal discussions with one advertisor on that site, and from documents received addressed to one of the larger advertisors, traffic (hit's) are down on the mentioned site.

I think Hockeyguy it's more typical false information from a well known individual who seems to enjoy passing out false information or changes positions and recommendations as often as he has another drink.

On another note, seeing the hundred's of thousands of stunning beauties in Kiev again reminded by one man's opinion that Dallas has more beautiful women than Kiev. Again, I can only shake my head in amasement. How anyone can make such a statement must be blind. I think someone was sniffing too much glue during Woodworking One.

Hmmm... I was merely commenting on the volume of traffic... not quality of the board.

Feel free to like P-L better... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion ... that really has nothing to do with my point that P-L traffic is down whereas other boards' traffic is not...

As for the rest:

1. I have seen far more misinformation on this board, believe me. But that's the internet for you. Anyone who reads anything on ANY board should cross check it for himself...

2. You must have drunk some powerful koolaid if you think posts are driven by advertsing, Bobby... only two regular posters on there are affiliated with an agency, and neither of them posts much at all anymore. Are you kidding me? Look at who is doing the posting over there... they aren't with any agency. I'm surprised you would say such a thing. Or... parrot such a thing, more likely.

3. As for the getting banned for contrary opinions... again, this is a myth some would have you believe, but its not true. Sheesh... I expected better of you. You've seen the discussions and debates by Cameraguy, Donna Pedro, KenC, Ronnie, me and others... haven't you? (None of which have any agency affiliations, btw)

Your posts amazes me, and does you a disservice...

I thought you were better than that... I didn't expect to see you simply parroting someone else's diatribes, when you know better...

I suspect you are the one drinking the tainted koolaid in this instance.  Lets see -JB over there has his flower delivery business, Kevin has an agency, Rver is working for an agency.  Spencer owns Dating Depot - or has he had to sell off everything now that he is getting sued for the conduct on the Spencer RWguide.  Hm...Ultra is a messenger for Anastasia - and there are more; but I do not need to dwell on it.  I prefer PL - where you have one agency owner Jack telling his truth and other agency owners who dare to challenge him all running.

Maybe guys know what is going on and have no need for new information.  Maybe alot of Jack's guys are over with him in Ukraine right now.  Maybe guys are slowing down their pursuit of a FSU woman ie. fewer newbies.  Maybe guys are getting bored with this format. Who knows for sure, but I agree with you that things are slowing on all boards.

hey Hockeyguy.

Well, I'm back and 11 of the 14 guys on the Spring trip are back. I plan to do a little trip report on this and the www.Russiawomendiscussion.com site over the next few weeks.

One will see a drop in hit's from several of the larger discussion boards for several reasons. A few of those reasons are; more Russian discussion board sites, men tired of reading of a guys recommendations and two months later the same guy is making recomendations 180 degrees opposite of his earlier advice, distrust in some of the commercialized discussion boards, discussion boards whose moderators are doing a great percentage of the postings and discussion boards who are quick to ban anyone who disagrees with board owner to name a few of the reasons I see for fewer postings.

Hockeyguy I do not see a slow down in guys pursuing a Russian/Ukraine bride. There was a slow down during the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first and second quarters of 2002 but since then there has been a steady increase in guys interested in pursuing a bride from the former Soviet Union.

I am still amazed at the high percentage of really beautiful and sincere women their are in Ukraine. After 30 seconds walking thru the terminal of Chicago's O'Hare airport and seeing the typical American women, I can only shake my head in digust and realize how lucky I am.

...they're all pink inside. And while many FSU chix look better on the outside they beat A/W for pathological deception any day of the week. Most of the FSU women I've met couldn't tell the truth about something if their life depended on it.

Lol, lay off ORD ok? I've met women there from all over the world. You can't really tell who you're dealing with in a place like that unless you get to know 'em.

As for statistical slowdown, from what others tell me (from here and one other board) it's mainly a content issue. Who wants to respond to much of the current drivel? (I'm making an exception just cuz it's you .  

Could it be guys are tired of "men" who refer to themselves as Lavender Boy and others who feel a need to validate their wife's attractivness to a bunch of strangers by posting photos of her on the Net in a bikini? Who're so insecure they need to show off their possession like a pickup truck or power tool?

Could it be guys are simply tired of hearing about dog and pony sex shows, guys robbing the cradle, scammers robbing the grave, Viagra, or the wayward escapades of some chick's underwear? Could it be they're finally tired of reading this kind of crap from their so called peers? Could it be there actually may be hope for some of these guys after all? It boggles the mind...

Lastly, are you aware that 83.7% of all people make up their own statistics?

I know what you're writing about. Just this February or March, someone briefly posted a picture of himself and his blond "possession" taken at the beach. It was an obvious attempt to impress others, feed/inflate his large ego and sense of superiority and, as you so correctly wrote above, justify himself as one of those " ...... who feel a need to validate their wife's (in his case, girlfriend) beauty to a bunch of strangers on the Net. Who're so insecure that they need to show off their possession like a pickup truck or power tool?" (My, my, my ....... the pot calling the kettle black!). It looked as though he was training her to be the quintessential, obedient, submissive "Stepford Wife" as she so dutifully held on to his arm as trained. I was only surprised she wasn't on her knees genuflecting/worshipping at his altar. That same individual promised to be leaving the board but he continues to quite obviously lurk on a virtual daily basis. He'll occasionally post under the silly guise of "just passing through" or some nonsense about a "little birdie......." That same individual continues to be afflicted with the pathological need to directly (Travis, Scaught, JRM, others) or indirectly put others down in a thinly veiled attempt to elevate himself. Talk about insecurity! Oh yeah,........... I remember that poster had a L(arge) P(auch)! Perhaps you remember that Poster too?

I thought it was closer to 97.4% for those that cared and 83.4 for those that didn't.  Now I know better, thanks. ;
