Do you have any interest in world war II? If so, you could say you are researching the history of the area for a book detailing the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis in Ukraine. Kiev was the site of a large encirclement for instance.

Loads of info out there.

If/when I do get to Ukraine that will be the biggest reason I go. To visit historical war sites and such and see where these epic battles took place.

And tag as many hotboxes as possible of course.

Of course I have no idea how a Ukrainian broad would react to this, but it gives you a good cover and I would be surprised if they would be offended in any way by a guy showing genuine interest in this period of history.

Damn Greek, are you a PUA or a sociologist? hahaha

Personally, I think it might be the city and the venues. Let's say only 15% (just a guess.. I have no idea anymore what it's like over there) of Russian girls want to date foreign men. If you're in a crappy city and go to a regular club, only 15% of the women could be interested in talking to you. There are no clubs for foreigners, so you're always going to be hitting this 15% number. Furthermore, the chicks interested in moving abroad or meeting foreigners have probably already left that city, unless they're poor, so your numbers might even be lower. Russian girls aren't outright rude to men when they're not interested (at least not the ones in Russia.. the ones in the USA and Europe are a different story), so you don't get the usual shoot-down that you get elsewhere, so it makes it more difficult to gauge the level of interest.

I could speak Russian after being there a few years, but I still found my best bets were with English speakers. Or, if the girl couldn't speak English, she at least wanted to learn English and travel around. The ones that only speak Russian and have no desire to learn English did not have much interest -- I could only get them to be interested by basically implying that I'm going to sell all of my shit back home and take my money and everything and move there and go native. They wanted you to bring all your money there. They basically wanted a Russian man, end of story.

Be careful if you lie and say you're a business man. They're going to expect your apartment to be super nice in that case. If it isn't when you bring them home, trouble can erupt. Probably not a problem if you're one and done with the chick, but if you're trying to go for repeats, it might not work out too well. You need to find a line/backstory commeasurate with your apartment, lifestyle, bankroll, etc.

If you're in a bigger city like Kiev, there are clubs for foreigners like Shooters or Arena.. the girls are basically self-sorting themselves for you. That everyday 15% number shoots up to like 75% in clubs like that. It's easy as hell to pull in those places. You still have to show you're better than the other foreign guys, but believe me, it's pretty easy. Everyone laughs at the local men, but the foreign guys there ain't a sight better. I'm going to have to pull out the feminist line here and say a lot of the men are there (except for the government and military guys) because they couldn't get laid at home. I used to see marriage tours when I was there (think this died out) and those guys were a joke. If you're a guy that can get laid in the USA, you can mop up both the locals and other ex-pats in these bars.

Why not just lie?

"I'm working for the U.S. Embassy."

That explains why you'd have some cash. You're learning Russian because, "I've always wanted to live in Moscow, but I can't transfer to the Embassy there until mastering Russian."

Quote:There are no clubs for foreigners, so you're always going to be hitting this 15% number.

I know you pulled that number out of the air but it's actually quite accurate. There are no foreign clubs. 15%-20% of girls put a strong effort into talking to me.

WW2 is highly controversial stuff in Ukraine and it is strongly advised not to talk about it.The reason is Ukrainian nationalists(UPA) fought actively against Red Army during the war(actually the fighting in Ukraine ended in 1956 there remained quite a few thousands of UPA fighters after WW2 fighting against communists).Even today the '80 years old nationalists do not lose the chance to fight against the same age communists and they are bloody fights.So any mentioning of WW2 hardly works in your favor unless the person you talk to is an active nationalist or communist and you happen to have the same preferences.(imagine for example talking to a hardcore nationalist Ukrainian girl and explaining to her your admiration for the Red army and the battles it won against the Germans).
It also depends on the region.Western Ukraine is way more nationalistic(UPA was rooted there) while eastern Ukraine is basically pro-Russian(they speak Russian and have a whole lot of Soviet monuments still).
I still remember when I talked to an Ukrainian girl who explained to me they were celebrating the liberation day.But I told her you were also celebration day some months ago.Yes,she told me.In November we celebrate liberation from Germans and in August we celebrate liberation from Russians.

Post: #32

Greek, thanks for the info.

I already knew that Ukrainians were not big fans of the Soviets for the most part but since I haven't really looked into anything beyond the war your comments are appreciated. Not to derail the thread in any way, but pillaging their way across Ukraine was a huge mistake of the Nazis. Before the atrocities began the Ukrainians actually looked at the Nazis as liberators, so deep was their hatred of the Reds.

Seriously, stuff like this is why I'd love to visit the country. It's unfortunate that for the most part the broads are not intellectually capable of having a conversation on something like this.

I'm sure the elders could but it would likely be a touchy subject. Would have to be careful to not come across as taking sides but rather gathering experiences and outlooks from a cross section of the people.

Post: #33

I like this thread.
I'm also wondering what I should be answering.

I think for me, the best thing is to say the truth.

Her: WHY are you here?
Me: I like Russian women and the culture. I want to find my "second half" here.

-----
Anyone know some other stuff along these lines that might be good to say?

----

I screen out girls who are not interested in travel, but I will be asking more specific questions about if they'd consider to move abroad/to Poland after the first or second date. If they're not open to considering it..might as well know sooner and move on.

I think this blunt, straightforward approach works well here.

The main thing is to escalate and go for the kiss. Thats the thing I really need to work on.
Just say fuck it--and go for it. If it fails, there are several other girls lined up.

Because champagne has that "romantic" appeal about it - and it helps her to feel your girlfriend, not just a whore.

Also most local guys do not drink champagne at all except for the New Year celebration and marriages (who wants to drink a sparkling wine without incentive?).

If the girl likes you she likes you, I don't think it matters what you say you are here for.

I tell them the truth, I'm an online entrepreneur, freelancing, trading etc.

This way you wouldn't be lying about it, and you have the proof to back it up - like pictures from the other countries you visited. It also implies you're rich, at least at her level, and it is pretty hard position to shit test it. This also stands you out from sex tourists since most of them say they're there for business, for work, studying or something like that.

On the one hand, $6 an hour is good pay in most parts of FSU. On the other hand, going there to "start a business" is probably much more interesting and rich-appearing. You have to remember that wealth is much more important in the FSU than it is in the West.

I know a girl in the Ukraine who spent three months in the hospital over an ruptured appendix. First it was misdiagnosed, then there were complications once they took it out. Lousy medical care apparently is common for the non-upper class. Having your own bedroom in the Ukraine is somewhat of a luxury. It's my understanding that it's not uncommon for families to share kitchens with other families. Meanwhile the rich have servants and are driving around in Mercedes SUVs. The difference in lifestyles between rich and poor is much more dramatic in the FSU.

My Ukrainian girlfriend asked me about other Ukrainian girls I had dated before her. I reluctantly revealed some info about them and she was immediately jealous. I remember one of the first things she said was "did you also tell them you were here to start a business?" She seems to think backstory is important. I responded to her, "yes, because that was my intent." BTW, I plan on returning to Ukraine in a couple months in another attempt to "start a business again" hehe.

Good point,agreed.

Personally I travel to the FSU primarily because I have a fascination with the place, in particular it's history since 1917. I love to visit shit holes not only for the women but because I find them architecturally fascinating. I also get a massive buzz from communicating with interesting people in Russian,it's a thrill for me and a challenge. The bonus on top of that is that there are some great looking women there who I enjoy trying to get into bed with.

If it was only about banging FSU women then there are much easier places to do it then in their towns. I'd spend my summers in Bulgarian or Turkish resorts sleeping with a lot more women then I manage in the FSU.
It has a diverse landscape of volcanoes,deserts,tundra,mountains. It has sublime cities like Moscow,Kiev,Samarkand,Peter. It has a fascinating history in places like Volgograd,Chernobyl,Grozny. And it is populated by a people many of whom have experienced lives few of us from the pampered West could imagine and they are often happy to share those experiences to the inquisitive foreigner. I love the place to bits.

Was that beta?

This is one of the ugliest cities I've been to in the world. Saying "For fun" is not at all congruent.

Luckystar warned me about having a good backstory. I thought I could use my "writer/traveler/language study" spiel, but the girls are giving many follow up questions as if they don't understand or are skeptical.

Last night when asked I said I was here "for work." I gave a recognizable industry name. They nodded, no follow up questions, and the conversation proceeded fine.

I also took Greek Kamaki's dialog advice, bought the drinks, and when my girl went to the bathroom I hit on another girl and made her insanely jealous.

"If you want to talk to her, you can talk to her," she said. She was visibly upset.

"Oh I'm just being friendly. I love practicing my Russian. "

So she stuck with me the entire night and I brought her home. Didn't bang, but I think that's progress.

Deb: The response you're getting for your answers sounds like Poland to me. There I could literally say anything and it didn't matter. Strange but being a "lawyer" or "consultant" here is much better than something like a location independent guy who travels the world. They don't appreciate that... UNLESS they are fluent in English and highly educated.

I'm getting the feeling here that girls think you're lying about everything, so the more complicated your answer, the more they think you're lying.

Post: #42

It is true western Ukrainian girls respond much closer to polish girls than Kiev or Eastern Ukrainian girls.
Also in Ukraine I never apologize.For example if the girl told me ''if you want her you may talk to her'' I would say ''Ja tebia chotsiu(I want you).Ty krassivaya(you are beautiful) and leave the subject with the other girl vague.A common tactique I use is kiss closing one girl getting her phone number when she exits the club and then come back to work on the other girls I met while she was dancing or waiting for the toilet.In this way I hit on 50% at least of the beautiful girls in club and I have multiple experiences with several girls.Again it is also matter of speed,flexibility and improvization you have to guess where your girl will be so to maximize your chances.Also hit girls sitting or standing by plan on a row so while you hit one the next you are going to hit cannot see you.Sometimes it is rather complex all depends on the disco layout some discos are perfect for pick up if they have two or more floors and chill out place(or with billards) guaranteeing privacy or multiple bars.A big dance floor is also essential.
Generally clubs in Ukraine have a very good layout for a magnitude of reasons(basically lots of people there want privacy for various reasons not just pick up).

Right now I'm pretty sure it's backstory weakness along with trying to have an "interesting" Western style conversation. Asking interview style questions on "boring" topics I'd never ask in America is getting a surprisingly good response.

Last night I asked, "What is your favorite type of music?" I don't think I've asked that in a couple years. Well the girl lit up and told me about her favorite bands and what not.

Post: #44

Yes,music is essential.I usually ask about their opinion about Gaitana,Russlana,Tina Karol,Vova iz Lvova popular Ukrainian singers or even about TNMK and XL Deluxe.Also about Russian groups like Diskoteka Avaria,Zhanna Friske Dima Bilan etc.

Post: #45

Good questions are also:
-Do you like dancing?
-Do you like belly dances?
-What films do you like?
-Who is your favourite actor?(some knowledge of Russian cinema is essential)
-Who is your favoutite writer?Poet?Do you like Bulgakov?
-Do you like pets?Do you have pets at home?
-What is your favourite color?

In Russian:
-Lubis tancevat?
-Lubis vostocnie tanci?
-Kakiye filmy lubis?
-Kto eta tvuj lubimi aktior?
-Kto eta tvuj luboj pisatel?
-Lubis zivotnix?Eta u tebia zivotnix doma?

You have to have a decent proffession.I can imagine why guys like Mystery fled from Eastern Europe in a hurry when they thought they would find heaven.

-O.K.
Then I come back to the former girls:
-Here are your drinks.
-Thank you.Where have you been so long?
-Good things take time.Cheers.
-Cheers(nazdarovie).Then I touch both of them on their thighs or touch the one on thigh and the other on buttock.
-Girls tell me why Ukrainian girls are so beautiful?
-We do not know.
-I think it is Ukrainian champagne Odessa.
-What?
-I said you have a champagne called Odessa.
-Yes,but it is very bad.
-Pity.Do you like ouzo?
-What is that?
-Greek drink.Do you like Metaxa?

-Yes.
-A podruska?(and your girlfriend?)
-A podruska toze.(my girlfriend as well).
-Then I may try,but it if it is bad food I may whip you.
-What?
-I asked who kisses better you or your girlfriend?
-I do not know.I have never kissed her.

-No.I hate them.I like American pop like Britney Spears.
-She is good singer.
-Yes.
-You also like dancing?
-Yes.Do you want to dance for us?
-Not now.But if you want to dance you may go.
-Come with us.But if you stay here watch out our bags.
-O.K.
Then they go dancing and I come to the girl I previously met.
-Hi.
-Hi.Where have you been?
-I was talking to some acquaintances of mine.
-I waited here.
-I remember you wanted a cocktail vodka with orange juice.
-No,I wanted Martini.
-O.K then Wait a second.
I bring Martini.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.What do you drink?
-I drink beer.
-Beer?Why?(very cheap and low class)
-I like Czech beer and they have Pilsner Urquell here.
-So you are from Greece?
-Yes.Have you been?
-No.
-I have been to Ukraine.Very nice country.And I think Ukrainian women are the best.
-This is true.
-I have been to Poland,Russia,Belarus,Czech Republic but truly only here are the women so hot.
-This is true and all foreigners say the same.Ukrainian women are the best.
-You are also very beautiful.
-Thank you.
-You have very beautiful eyes.What color are they?
-They are blue.
-Very beautiful.And I like your hair(while touching her hair).Ukrainian fashion is very nice.
-Girls dress good here.

-I hate Ukrainian boys.
-Why?
-They are ugly.

-No.I could not come.
-Do you have a phone number?
-Yes,here is my number.
-O.K.,now I need to go to the toilet.I will be here right after.
-O.K.
Then I pick up a different set of girls while returning to the former ones.
