Every journey begins with a first step. The first step of our journey is to get perspective on the world in which you live today. You’re considering looking overseas for a reason – and you’re not alone! So what is the source of this restlessness, dissatisfaction, and resignation?
This call seemed to cover the gambit. We begin with statistics from our universities and then consider the impact of feminism and obesity. Mark opened the lines for free conversation between callers and that went on more than 45 minutes! Don’t worry, the core content was covered in the first hour of the call, but you will enjoy listening in on all of the discussions!
Below is the video that we referenced by Mark later in the call. This video demonstrated how much our movies have contributed to their male and female role models. Women feel that the actresses hold the standard for beauty and they want a man like Bruce Willis. The Russian versions of the “Die Hard” series were given another name in their language, which, when translated, means “Tough Nuts”. We thought you’d enjoy this Russian music video:
Have fun my friends. The Russian world (and Ukraine WAS Russia in 900 ) has always been a land of mystique, intrigue, magic, enchantment, beauty and style that the westerners either never understood – or were swayed to conversion like a virus and fever too. The direct heart, the honest intent, the diligent suffering for meager world monetary returns, the dire dogged tireless devotion to ideal concepts when the day to day routine is more than tedious and painful.
From Gogol : No sooner do you step out on to the promenade of Nevsky Prospect, than you are swept along into its unending carnival…. All that meets the eye on Nevsky is replete with decorum, women of such beauty that your heart will stop and a horse will falter mid leap, parents doting on their children, proud soldiers walking arm in arm with their delicate ladies. Only here is it possible to enjoy the zenith of mans creative construction that is a grand spectacle of beauty, astonishment in parade, there is no equal in the ‘civilized’ world”
Enjoy, I wish I was with you this round. Heres to the year that changes everything.
Hi guys,
From an Australian perspective, or mine experience anyway. We are not to dissimilar to the US. We don’t have such a weight problem with our men and women but are heading that way pretty fast. Yet staying with this my mate and I were in a bar, late, and this over weight very average woman seriously told us we would never have a chance with her, like she was on some peddle stool. I laughed my head off, but my friend 10 yrs older than me was horrified. this type of experience is not uncommon and we ain’t ugly.
I had a local dating site experience similar to Marks, one woman asking what I could do for her.I must admit I was shocked and very turned off, talk about pressure then comparing yourself to other men!!
Since my enlightenment to what a woman really is and can be, has made me understand men here are their own worst enemy. We, including me, have been caught up in the single bar seen where you meet a girl and see where it leads hoping to be accepted or good enough, even a supermarket or video shop, anywhere. But before you can blink she has been with 2-3 other guys not necessarily sexually but just playing the field. Yet they complain “where are all the good men” It seems to be the guy with the next most interesting activity or hot body, 4×4 today with this guy, Harley ride with that one, Gold Coast visit with the next. It’s a buffet and we are falling for it, so I’m Outta here!!
A conversation with my mother (god bless her 75years) She wanted to know why I was obsessed with going to Ukraine to find my sweetheart, So I told her all the usual stuff but finished with, “all she has to do is make it all about me, nothing else, and in return I will make it all about her,I will give her my whole world” to my surprise she agreed with me. Her words were women have lost there place in the family and society. Men are the head of the house (even though decisions are joint) but today most are trying to control their men, old values have been lost.

Hey, Richard!
Thanks for representing the Aussies!
Your post was fantastic. I couldn’t have said it better myself! But you really touched my heard with your last paragraph. I deeply believe that good men are ready to pour their heart and soul into a loving relationship if that love were being returned with equal energy. You said it even better.
Your closing remark is also spot on – this is where all of the efforts to love a woman in the West evaporate; they try to control the men in their lives.
I will just repeat again the advice of my good friend, Steve Marks, “I just want you to find someone who will match your efforts”. You do that and you are surely headed for a life that is filled with love and gratitude.
I know you went to China, but I hope you can join us sometime. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you meet yours! You have a good heart, my friend. You deserve it.
I love our guys. Good men find their way here. You are certainly one of them.
Mark
The chorus :
“My Man, My Hero, My Tough Nuts”
Thanks for the laugh.
Sitting in the cafe this morning; the conversation played like a tragic soap opera
group of 3 girls 25-27 all already divorced, two with kids; talking loud enough so that EVERYBODY could hear.
none of them employed, none of them with degrees, infact it was a point of bragging as to who quit ‘college’ earlier.
Lamented that there were no ‘good’ guys left and that they all wanted to be stay at home moms ….. and a good ten minute prattle about the shopping on their ex’s credit card while he was working two jobs and not supporting their love babies.
and not to be cruel but they were more at home on ‘Biggest Loser’ than ‘Next Top model’
set.
“I got up this morning and I just didnt feel into it” says the girl in sweats that look like they have seen cleaner days
“I spent twenty minutes getting ready and for what, there are no men in this town” She had spackled the rouge and eyeshadow in vaine of a drag queen; it was 1130 in the morning, but at least her ‘Glitter was on’
“My ex was into drugs, but at least I knew where he was, its not like he is sleeping around on me”
I could not help but laugh, the waitress asked what was so funny, I had to lie and say it was the book I was reading.
