Stubben, if you really want to get a girl's attention, don't worry about the appliances. Just show her a photo of you peeling potatoes. Shirtless is optional.  :loving:

Is it me or am I seeing this poll from the opposite from you guys. A myth is something that isn't true,hence 17 voting FSUW are docile.etc. means they don't believe the statement.

Now 22 voters have signed off.  All FSUW are docile, subservient, non argumentative creatures has the most votes at 13 so far.  8)

I don't know exactly where this myth came from but, anyone who has had an
argument with a FSUW KNOWsit's not the case and will give
more credence to the possibility of the tooth fairy putting money under your pillow.  



Now 27 voters, and 17 for the same.  :nod:


Translated - means once they have an idea in their head, the odds of dislodging it becomes, a mission impossible scenario.  :laugh: 

Nope my observation was more along the idea if people say these are myths, not much in the way of comments "why" are being made.  ;D

Worked, your interpretation is correct.
FSUW are not for entry level daters. FSUW don't do vague FSUW like a man of action so be a man of action  If you find a promising girl, get your butt on a plane. There are a hundred ways to be successful and a thousand ways to f#ck it up

Bummer, does this mean I can't use a photo of my dishwasher to pull FSU chicks?

The votes I choose were votes which were meant to illustrate that I agreed that those particular statements were infact 'myths'. Even though the poll was poorly worded. As a result, I guess that means I need to lodge an official protest to have all 6 of my votes changed to be placed in the "Bill is an idiot what the heck does he know?" box. :laugh: :ROFL: :) :P tiphat

It was very poorly worded I agree but if you look at the original post
you can see that I was unable to fix it so I should only get 5 of your votes
for "Bill is an idiot", (besides I voted for myself) 

Please note that I am having problems editing the thread topic and I am not sure why

Chris,

What are the Biggest Myths regarding FSUW (Women from the Former Soviet Union)

or

What is the Biggest Myth regarding FSUW (Women from the Former Soviet Union)

are goes with plural, where "is" is singular. I think that since we can vote several times that the first option would be best.

I don't know if FSUW, Slavic, Eastern European is redundant or not. Probably just
one designator is enough. I think we should stay away from using the generic RW
because of all the inter FSU rivalry as of late.

Spasibo,


Bill

I did not see the choice for ALL OF THE ABOVE.   :nod:  Isn't it true there are more myths than truths about FSUW?  Part of a marketing strategy by some of the big Internet players?  :laugh:

Bill you're old enough to remember the mental image all men in the west had of Russian women back in the days of the USSR, before the wall fell.  Russian women didn't shave their legs or underarms, had a pronounced mustache over the upper lip and the body of a stevedore, only with bigger muscles.  :laugh: 

Please FSUW no  :fighting0025: or  :fighting0004: or  :GRAVE: this was all Bill's idea.  I'm just trying to help Manny boost his post count so that the RUA post count will pass the count on the forum that can't be named.  :bow: :bow: :bow:
it can be true if the FSUW is from the village, or small town, did you have one like that????
well I think you have also in Europe and A.merica a bunch of these as well. ;D

Springirl I've never been to FSU but I have been to a number of countries in Europe and some of the German women, especially back in the 1980's, looked like that.

Yes we have some women in North America who could pass for muscular hairy men.  Not really my taste. My ex was a Chinese woman.  Tiny with long black hair and other than eyebrows not much hair anywhere else.  Rather typical for a Chinese woman.   
andrewfi says ''Proximity is almost no guarantee of authority" and "in many cases, distance gives a better picture with less emotional and subjective input."

That means I'm a subject matter expert on all things Russia, Ukraine and UK.

Much of the advertising incoperated by many international marriage agency's is designed to encourage fantastical notions upon their clients WM.....

Most FSU ladies do not want to leave their country and have no real interest in marrying a foreigner.

FSU ladies are not falling over themselves to snag a much older guy, you can be successful in your FSUW pursuit if you are much older than the lady, but of course you will be the exception to the norm.

If your in anyway not up to it, don't bother because they will :popcorn:
