How do Ukrainian men feel about this?

An actual new report of the OIM (organisation for international migration) in the swiss it is concluded that

1 on every 35 inhabitants of this world is an migrant seeking for an better life conditions.

Puts one to think..........




PS sorry my point also Ulysses also male are migrating in big numbers but that was not the discussion topic but it makes a good point.

I'm married to a Ukrainian/Russian woman. I've been married for about 5 years now so I know a little bit about the original subject of this thread.
My situation was a bit different since I initially went to Ukraine to work and met my wife at a dinner party. I was never really on the prowl for a wife but it just happened that way.
Anyway, I've run into lots of Westerners on my travels back and forth from the US to Russia and Ukraine. The common spoken theme seems to be the inability to find a nice family oriented woman at home. Not that there aren't any but it's just the inability for them to find them. In the West it seems so many women now are totally career minded and when they are interested in meeting a guy he needs to have tons of money and look like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt and be nice and funny like Hugh Grant. Probably expectations on both sides are a bit skewed in the wrong direction for many of these relationships to work out. But anyway, the regular "Joe" doesn't quite fit in the above description. He's just a middle of the road guy looking for a nice girl and if he doesn't fit the stereotype of the eligible bachelor that's portrayed on TV he's sort of left in the cold. Same goes for the middle of road girls too. Plus, with the demands on you time from work now days, it's hard to find time to go out and meet anyone. So, many of these guys turn to the marriage agencies. Fast food love huh? Well, the potential for cons on both sides is pretty high. I've seen examples of both sides getting screwed and I personally know of many happy situations too.
Now, as for the Ukrainian/Russian men. I've really not met too many that really expressed having a big problem with this. But I've heard some say they didn't quite understand it when they had eligible bachelor friends and these girls were looking elsewhere. Seems to me that their major concern would be with the "trafficking" of Slavic women, by their own countrymen, for the prostitution trade. So many disappear, are tortured and some end up being killed. Where's the concern for this? I'd say that's a greater threat than the "marry a foreigner" game...
Anyway, just my two cents....

I sure agree with "Alchik", but he could also add that most American women that are the type to settle down and be a wonderful wife, friend, partner and companion have their own home and are not interested in moving. They are afraid to loose what they have built and are not willing to take a chance. Who can blame them for this type of thinking. So if an American wants to meet a lady for a lifetime commitment, it is only logical to look for the women from the FSU that are adventursome enough to take the risk.

Yes, there are mistakes made on both sides. Yes, we as humans from all over the world should ban together and fight the "slavic woman slave trade". It is a disgrace to our being humans.
