Sun Devil Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I am expanding my opportunities by meeting foreign women online. I know that some sites are scams, but there are sights that are not. I am looking at foreign women from all countries, not just 3rd world countries. I am not looking for a mail order bride, but a way to meet women from other countries.

TaraMaiden Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I'd steer clear of Indonesian, Philippino, Arab-world, Russian, African and 'Eastern Bloc' counties. Also, some Canadian women are all fur and no frills.... And American women are just religious, want money or want kids. English women are frigid, French women smell of garlic and Italian women just want babies. Otherwise, the world is your oyster. (This isn't a serious question, is it....? Tell me please, that it isn't.....!) Edited May 30, 2013 by a LoveShack.org Moderator 1
Author Sun Devil Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 I would love to travel but I am a full time college student, so I wont be leaving the country for a few years. I would like to know any reputable sights that would expose me to foreign women.
sillyanswer Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Anyway, just use okcupid and search for specific foreign languages. Want a Russian girl? Search for someone who speaks Russian! (There are still fake profiles and scammers on there, of course.) Edited May 30, 2013 by a LoveShack.org Moderator
Author Sun Devil Posted May 30, 2013 Author Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) I don't know if okcupid would work. Are there any legitimate sites that help with dating foreign women? I also looked at happierabroad.com Edited May 30, 2013 by a LoveShack.org Moderator Corrected the spelling of sights to the corrected sites
sillyanswer Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I don't know if okcupid would work. Are there any legitimate sites that help with dating foreign women? Yes, okcupid. Why don't you know if it would work?
Treasa Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 A friend of mine used Omegle. I think that's what it's called.
carhill Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 OP, there are discussion forums much like LoveShack which focus on international dating and relationships and such are a good start to find consensus on which dating portals are the best value and the most reliable. YMMV, and widely. IME, and I've done it, networking with other people, both on forums and in real life, is key to success, meaning a pleasant experience and avoiding scams. In the end, the women (in your case) at the other end are still women. They're just women from a different country and culture. Some resources I used were RWL (Russian women's list), RWD (Russian women discussion), Lavaplace and dating.ru, along with private agencies to which I was referred, the latter being more common back before the internet was widely available. Lastly, don't bother with 'foreign' dating unless and until you are ready to travel. Learn how to travel cheap, as a lot of it is required when dating internationally, presuming you're not wealthy. That's a totally separate discipline and skill. Good luck. 1
TaraMaiden Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 ...It also helps if you speak their language. Sure, "The Language of Love" has no vocabulary, but "Who's paying the food bill?" is a useful one to know, anywhere..... 1
outsidethebox Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 I just ended my membership with A Foreign Affair after several years, as well as took down my OKCupid profile after meeting someone there and now in a relationship. I have the highest regard for the AFA organizaton which is located in AZ btw, and wish I could have taken a trip or two to Ukraine but never had everything together long enough to pull the trigger to do it. However an international trip and stay is a few thousand dollars whether you arrange on your own or go with an AFA tour trip. And the international trip to meet prospective brides is required for the visa to bring her to states. Someone mentioned being a student, and would be premature for a student. Need to be out of school, employed, and saved up a few thousand dollars to consider it.
FitChick Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 If you are going to be in school a few years, what's the rush? What would happen is you'd develop a crush on someone and wouldn't be able to visit often and would be crying on the long distance forum. Concentrate on your studies and get a degree in something where you could easily find a job. THAT will make you very attractive to American women as well as foreign.
apple OR orange Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 if your not going to travel and you want dating sites, it wont work, there all looking fo "dates" on the dating sites.....
