This is another real life story. Please read this article if you are going to invite a Russian girl for a vacation abroad.
A man meets a woman, and a relationship starts. He offers to have their first meeting in Thailand. She cannot afford this because her entire salary is used to support her kids. Moreover, she’s already used her vacation time this year, and her next vacation is eight months from now, so she can miss work only at her own expense. This is unacceptable for her because she doesn’t want to lose money. If she takes a vacation, she’ll receive only one fifth of her regular salary once she is back to work. Her salary is composed mainly from the percent of the sales she makes.
The woman explains all this and invites the man to come to Russia instead, but he states that he is ready to pay for all the expenses, including whatever money she is going to lose while missing work. The woman agrees and for the first time in her life travels abroad. She is taking her credit card with her.
Three days later this woman contacts me in Skype, and, crying, says that she is always hungry because the food in the restaurants where they eat is served raw. Yes, people eat raw food in Thailand, and Russian people aren’t used to that. The woman has to eat whatever is given to her because the man doesn’t take her to the more expensive restaurants where the food is actually cooked. Of course, this is not the end of the world, and by the end of this trip the woman even feels fond of the raw food ))
One day the woman sees some body cream in the store and pays for it with her credit card. Right after that the card gets blocked by the bank. She didn’t know that she had to go to the bank and get a special permission to use the card abroad. As a result, she is now out of money. During the vacation she comes across various souvenirs and little things that she likes, but she cannot buy anything anymore. The man doesn’t even think of buying one or two inexpensive things for her, but it’s fine. He doesn’t really have to do that, right? She can survive without them.
But these little things are nothing in comparison to what she feels like when he insults her. She is young and beautiful, she attracts people’s attention, and now and then men ask if she is his wife. The man repeatedly answers right in front of her, not feeling a bit of shame, “Oh, no, of course not! My wife is in New Zealand. This is my Russian girlfriend!”
And this is done by a potential husband who is supposed to be looking for a Russian wife! The woman realizes that she is being used like a pretty toy. The man is flattered to be escorted by a young, beautiful, smart girl, and he enjoys seeing the envy in other men’s eyes! To feed his ego, he is ready to pay for the plane tickets and restaurants with raw food for the woman. It’ O.K. because he is rich enough, he can afford it.
After the vacation, the man walks the woman to the airport and says his good bye.
Arriving to Moscow, the woman calls me and tells me that she has no money to get home to Belgorod because her credit card is blocked. The man knew that but decided to ignore the fact, and the woman didn’t ask him for the money. There’s no need to mention that he never compensated her salary losses.
Dear men! If you invite a woman to spend some time abroad and say that you’ll take care of all the expenses, please, make sure that the woman has the means to get back home, that she can buy a plane ticket HOME, not just to Moscow from where she’ll have to take another plane or a train.
And, most importantly, if you call yourselves men, be them and behave like gentlemen. Don’t insult women even if you are only playing being serious, but in reality plan to just have a good time with a beautiful woman. A true gentleman would never act like this anyway; he wouldn’t use a girl who is looking for a husband and a family. There are other kinds of girls to use for mere entertainment, and you can find lots of them in the Internet. So, what is the problem?
