I would just be careful given the situation you are in. Some tact may be necessary.

I also met my girlfriend when she was still in another relationship. Personally I just demanded that she left him as soon as I noticed we were getting "romantically involved". She did. 6 years later we are still together. She moved in with me about 6 months after she broke up with her boyfriend. Some people of course suspected that she cheated, which she did not.

Do you know why defectors are often beheaded right after their usefulness has ended...  because if they betray their original party, it is in their character to betray YOU as well...  this isn't a moral thing I'm pushing, I'm merely saying eyes-out...   less of-course you're in an open relationship, in which case, w/eves

This "omg she's cheating, that means she'll cheat on you someday" line of thinking going on in this thread is one of the most stereotypically pubescent things I've ever read.

Except she never cheated. It is more like we both noticed that we hung out more than you could consider "normal", and it was not behind anyone's back. We had been friends for some time. When I noticed that was going on, I commented on it, she agreed and broke it off with her boyfriend at the time. I think we both were pretty clean and honest about it. There was no kissing, or anything inappropriately intimate before she broke up with him.

Also, I have pretty much zero fear of her cheating on me regardless. And if we were to drift apart and she would find someone else, I wish she would behave the same as she did when she met me. That is , tell me honestly and in advance. I would never want to be with someone who does not want to be in a relationship. If it is over, it is over. Though right now that seems unlikely to happen.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write.

Actually, your are more likely to be single living in a big city than is the more rural areas. Scientists think it has to do with so many options that people don't want to settle.

Also, population density depends on the area, Southern (actually much of) of California is entirely too crowded and has a housing shortage. 1/8th of the U.S. now lives in California.

I have my kitty cat, and that's all the **** I need to pet for now. I will just keep telling myself this lie.

Buy a Russian bride? I'm sure we have some Russians here; oh yeah!

Ask iri to set you up!

Trust me you don't wanna hang with Russian women. My dear mother is Russian! :)

Ukraine girls are soooo hot. I want to try them out. What their test drive policy is?
1) come near a group of ukrainian girls
2) start speaking english
3) ...................................
4) PROFIT!!!!11111

appendix a: no, she doesn't love you, she just wants a green card

My dearest Iri...you so don't understand. I'm not handing out green cards, nor am I interested in a Ukraine girl in the U.S. I purely want to go to the Ukraine and sample the goodies like I did in Prague. GREAT times, Input Nirvana knows party.

This is bad if you trick them into thinking they're getting a green card out of the deal...

if you're upfront about it, then that's A-ok.

I was not talking about relationship between man and women specifically.. but there is much more door to door in other cultures than the privacy obsessed American style.

for example, i tell my friends that when they get to my house, just open the door and come in.. they can't seem to handle this, and always call me when they're in front of the door to come to the door.

One time, a guy even left because I didn't pick up the phone when the battery was out... and then he blamed me for not picking up the phone,, he didn't even ring the doorbell..

Non of that is really my game, even though I know it is for others, fun to joke though. But disco all night in Prague with the locals was definitely off the hook. I just think Ukraine girls are hot. Not gonna date, import, marry, fold, spindle or mutilate. But they they are hot (Mila Jovovich).

it's not a guarantee but it's a bad, bad sign if he's looking for a committed relationship. go buy somebody some stereotypical date gifts :P
It would be a bad sign if she was deliberately and purposefully trying to maintain two distinct relationships concurrently over longer than short term, with one of the people involved not knowing. That's not at all what is happening here, in fact it doesn't even sound like cheating at all to me. Adult relationships/life in general is messy.

Anyhow, the U.S. is quite a diverse place, with many different attitudes depending on where you are.

This is pretty funny. I grew up this way. Everyone was always welcome at my parents place. We had a piece of rope that came from the little lever that you could pull to open the door, that went through the space in the door intended for mail (this is common in holland), so kids in the neighborhood could let themselves in.

As an adult, I live in a big city, so I can not exactly leave my door open all day. However, 2 of my best friends have a key, and they are welcome to use our apartment when they are in the city. They see this as something pretty special, though for me it is normal. There is also something you get in return for your hospitality, like friends coming over to your place instead of you always having to visit theirs, since they feel at home.

I do tell them not to use my computer though XD

Ukraine girls are soooo hot. I want to try them out. What their test drive policy is?
1) come near a group of ukrainian girls
2) start speaking english
3) ...................................
4) PROFIT!!!!11111

appendix a: no, she doesn't love you, she just wants a green card

My dearest Iri...you so don't understand. I'm not handing out green cards, nor am I interested in a Ukraine girl in the U.S. I purely want to go to the Ukraine and sample the goodies like I did in Prague. GREAT times, Input Nirvana knows party.

This is bad if you trick them into thinking they're getting a green card out of the deal...

if you're upfront about it, then that's A-ok.

I prefer to really screw over people and take advantage of their disadvantages with lies and deception. This is best. I consider it a profession and deduct all incurred expenses as a sex tourist on my taxes. Find me now, you NSA ****ers.

unrestricted deviance will be your undoing.

better to do and be done than to stay undone

I know they aren't any more/less sluttish than any other collection of women/men. But they are most certainly some of the hottest. High cheek bones, sultry eyes, bee sting lips....WOWZA!

Too bad they are in such a tough country. Rough winters, low opportunity, etc.  :(

Rough winters

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.

Just a quick follow up on the date. Today, after five years I met her again. Oh boy, such a disappointment!
I have no idea what I liked about her back then. Maybe it was the fact that she was only eighteen.

Aaaahhh....she was a pipe dream all along. It wasn't about her, it was about you after all, which is good. I'm glad you found out what it really was, but sorry you had to be disappointed. I guess my PM to you was kinda right on :)

Someday I should charge for my sage direction and advice. Damn I'm good!

  • Looks. If I go to Karlovy Vary or random porn site, I can almost always tell whether the woman is Russian, or not. Some of them are textbook examples of sluttiness (based on looks).
  • Behavior. My experience is that Russian tourists are the most arrogant in the whole Europe. For example a woman that insisted on entering the St. Peter's Basilica dressed as a slut. Yeah, she was Russian.
  • Nationalism. AFAIK many Russians still believe that the Russian Empire can exist again; I've heard random Russians say stuff like "Czechoslovakia 1968? 10/10, would invade again".
  • Mentality.  It's hard to explain... Anyone who's read byliny and compared them to other European folklore probably knows what I mean. Completely different values. It's like when Americans occupied Japan after WW2 and had hard time understanding Japanese culture and society.

just out of curiosity -- how can you tell the etnicity of a naked white woman?

Sigh, you must have noticed that native people look different in different areas. Most people with Russian origins are easy to recognize. Same thing in case of Nordic countries, south Europe or German-speaking countries.

Unfortunately, I've found out I'm not able to describe people (faces specifically).
