You could join a Protestant church or two. If it is a large enough church there usually are 'singles groups' for association.
OMG , I am agnostic . What should I do ? I don't  go to church .Any.
It's a problem meet a guys ? What do you think ?

Maybe you could fake it? Who knows maybe while looking for a man you will find God?

Come on Maxx....FFS.

This one would eat Maxx for breakfast.

I am 10 times tougher than you Manny. If you had to endure what I've been through you would have blown off the back of your head long ago. Don't pull your superiority crap on me. Manny, you have never stuck your neck out even on this little forum so you are a nobody.

Maxx, no need to go puffing your chest out. You ain't the target demographic - and yes,  she'd be spitting out the bubbles. Be real. :)

Andrew, you win.  I will now place you in my ignore list.  You and Moby can play with each other there.

As I say, from time to time, judicious use of the "ignore" function can greatly enhance the RUA experience!

Russian_Blonde, the laws that were created to protect women and children drive the situation you are in. Men are afraid of marriage especially in liberal California. A comedy film made 15 years back called 'Love Stinks' has this as its theme. Hopefully if my ex-wife of 15 years is reasonable with 'lifetime' spousal support I'll leave 'Land of Opportunity' and head to where you were from to find a woman like you only 20 years older. But I would never export her to America. It is just too risky. Where I am now Minnesota/Wisconsin for the first time ever single households made up of one adult now out number married couple households. We are becoming a nation of lonely people kept apart by our draconian family law.


exactly.  I'm sure Johnny Depp will concur.

How many times have we read that one before :Zzzzsleep:
If you get a minute check out Bruce's TR - Its not quite finished, however its still a pretty good read IMHO.

If I win the lottery I'll finish it this week if not I'll probably complete it when I retire!!! Until then I hope you enjoy the story so far!

Happy to hear you like Moscow Russia .
For us it's also  inexpensive  , because of Russian currency .
I remember 2012 let's  30 rubles for one 1$. Now when I am in Russia I feel like I am buy anything .  :saint:
Thanks for advices I think you saying right things about been social and meeting a lot of different people . That's what I try to do usually . Traveling / parks , hiking / social groups. Thanks for the link of meet up , I also with meetup, there is social groups " Europeans in Bay Area."

 I might also suggest the city of Sacramento. I am not certain of the reasons why but Sacramento has the largest number of Russians of any city in the USA and it's less than two hours from the Bay area.
 You might try and find Russian social groups there and see if you do not find someone and bring him over to the Bay Area, which I would think would be an easy sell.

Thanks for  advice .  In Sacramento big Ukrainian community - church . They don't like Russians now . And  I don't go to church good or bad . There is no Russians there . Russians mostly in Bay Aria because of IT .   But honestly I am not very interested in "Russians ", Ussr bloc. 
Mostly like in Americans , Canadian and European man .

^  Unfortunately, you probably won't have much luck on sites such as this one. All we have are old and damaged, middle-aged and damaged, and young and damaged. Worse yet, the young are the most damaged of all. The type of man that you are searching for is a rarity, in any case. There is nothing wrong with having lofty requirements but it does reduce your field of prospective partners precipitously and increases your time in the search dramatically.

I agree with Tom. You will find little success here. I see nothing wrong with your requirements. A 10 year age gap is more than a reasonable request for a woman wanting to have children. I think you will find most professional men in your age group and your location will be a little wary of a single attractive Russian emigre'. At least when it comes to marriage. But I think you have already found that out. As Bill would say...Udachi.

Many foreign men assume FSU women go abroad and feel the need to be surrounded by folk who speak their native tongue. While this is seldom the case, in any event it can be unhealthy to the new relationship. It also hinders assimilation/adaptation in the new homeland. But it doesn't stop men trying to create these associations for their new wives, or as we see here one assuming you need this. Which as we can see, you dont.

Manny,

Not for the first time - I strongly differ..

Have you lived as an expat in a nation where English is not the main language ? 

There is nought wrong with providing one's wife with RU/UA lang TV .... or introducing her to local women from her country. Our partners have brains and will choose who to mix with.

It in NO WAY hinders assimilation - rather the opposite, in most cases.

When in Russia - I seek out folk with whom I can converse in my mother tongue...as most of the time - I speak  Russian and it is great to relate in one'smother tongue.

Age is just a number.  A 7 year difference is nothing to worry about.  I am 20 years older than my wife and for the last 14 years people have told us it won't work or it won't last.  Well, we are still happily married so they were wrong...

Happy to hear it's works for you guys .  :saint:

Well it's good to say  :laugh:, I assume that there are some relationships  when it's works , statistic   say it's  only 10% .
Others , got  divorced within 5-10 year . Couple of my  friends been married with big age differents 15-20 years , already divorced buy now  . I believe that relationship can normally work if man older woman not more than 10 years . (Like  if she  her 20th he his 30th  , or she her 30th he his 40 th etc)  I see a lot of examples , mostly it's  really works . And it can work I think  if woman older  man maximum 4-5 years . If age difference much bigger -it's temporary relationship usually . I am sorry , I just been  realistic Russian , I know many people hope differently .
Anyway , my grandmother older my  grandfather 3 years , and they have been married 55 years . My mom older my dad  5,5 years  . My aunt older her husband 4 years . My cousin younger his wife 4 years .   :laugh: :laugh:
Well, I am usually not into guys   younger me . I don't know...will see .
