The following link is from a website called Bulgarian-Girl (self explanatory); what makes it different is that the website is very much geared towards the woman (I couldn't even find their catalogue of women through the site). What really interested me was this little piece called "101 tips for finding a western husband." We all know that this advice is "standard issue" to women by the agencies, but it's still an eye opener to see it in black and white (no doubt some of the strategies will be very familiar!)

In general, sounds like some very practical advice.  I do disagree with the recommendation for a bikini picture.  Believe me, I have no problem with bikinis, but when I was searching, such a photo in a profile, or early on, would raise a red flag with me.  I don't agree that sex is the most important consideration for a man who wants to have a successful lifetime relationship, but this recommendation may reflect the writer's experience with some Eastern European men, as well as the behavior of some overseas visitors.  Anyway, nothing here that I would call "manipulative", just people in a risky situation trying to protect their interests.

This looks like one of Elena Petrova's web sites, in fact, I saw a photo of her and her husband on the English link.

...It is one of her sites.

Good info on manipulation, eh? And here I thought these women were born with those skills already built in. Nice to see they're actually getting schooled in them. Now when they do all those things for you it proves only they can follow instructions...

if you can puzzle out the russian:

Scroll down about a third of the way.

age
figure
face
hair
language
kids

are the determiners of potential success.
And, ya know, I think they know what they
are talking about.  Those are pretty much
universals.  You might care about education,
I might be in search of tasty dishes, but it's
a rare dude that doesn't consider age, looks,
language, and kids.

The hair threw me for a minute, until I considered
that without proper presentation, good looks are
wasted.  (The hair frames the face.)

I wonder what the table of chances for men would look like?

age
job
height
gut
country
hair

would be my guess.

71.  The single most important thing for a man in a relationship is sex. He must know you find him sexually attractive and want to have sex with him, otherwise he will not marry you; but he also must know that you are not an "easy" woman and will consider sex with a man only if you find him truly special, or he again will not marry you. It means you should NOT start a sexual relationship with the man on the first or second day of his visit. The day before his departure will be ideal: he will get the taste of what he can expect from you but it will not satisfy his curiosity. Do not start a sexual relationship with the man if you decided you don't want to marry him. It is possible not to have sex with a man if you believe sex should only be after marriage but you must find a way to show the man that you find him sexually attractive and that you want to have sex with him in the future
