Who went to DnipropetrovsK?

[Frank O]

I remember reading a post here by someone who went to Dnipropetrovsk & stated that is was very much overlooked by men & it was a goldmine for ladies. Who wrote that post? I'm going back for my second visit in May & I'm considering going.

it's a very nice city. Pres. Kuchma is from there and so he has put a lot of money back into his hometown. I flew into Dniper. but spent only one day in the city. My wife speaks highly of the place too.
Good Luck to you!

I have been to Moscow, Tver, Kiev, Odessa and Dnepro.  If I hadn't already found my fiance in Dnepro and were going back to the FSU, I would definitely go there first, having been to all these places.  It is a major industrial city (huge) that is quite overlooked by most of the MOB scene. It's not a beautiful picturesque place like Odessa or impressive like Moscow or Kiev, it's a working class city with little tourist action.  I met probably 20 women there.  Only 2 had met an American before and those 2 had met only one American.  All were prompt for our meetings together, very polite and not spoiled like I found more than a few women in the other cities to be.  I was amazed at the difference.
I would highly suggest running some ads there if you go.

Just my personal experience.  Of course it didn't hurt my opinion that I found my girl there..  ;-)

Yes, I remember reading your post. At that time things were great between me & my Marina so I wasn't interested in anything else. HOwever now that I'm more or less starting over I will be advertising all over Ukraine. I'm trying to plan my trip for May & make sure I don't miss anyplace.Thanks for the info. I really appreciate that. Glad to hear you found your wife there. HONESTLY I would rather find myself someone from a small town or one that is not too "up to date". Some of the Kiev girls sounded JUST like AMERICANS!!! ONe of them actually asked me what I drove because she like German cars specifically Audi's!!!! I told her I would NEVER buy her an Audi just to watch her reaction. LOL!!!! Oh well, travel to Ukraine just to get hit with AM attitude, no thanks!

Frank, for what it's worth, I had exchanges going on with a few there in the past and while I haven't been there, it IS overlooked, and it IS a goldmine; (from what I understand it's more like the Novosibirsk of the Ukraine - functional, cheap,  friendly, but not too pretty).  If I did it all over again, Dnp is the only place I'd go to.  Jack's got contacts there and you might want to give him a ring (phone that is, lol) on this.

I'm running an ad & have started planning my next trip to include there. Jack is helping with that. He's been a great help.
