An interesting trend I've seen in the last few years or so, the stands at the Jersey shore are usually stocked by young blond girls with what I think are Russian accents. I don't know where they go in the winter but if you can wait until spring there's no need to leave the country to check them out.

Am I thinking of someone else or were you not previously in a relationship with a man...

I second the Hungarian girl suggestion.

[Heineken]

p.s.

This is to thank all the women who've posted here for being such good sports with some of the rather rough comments about American women.

I've had some frustrations, they've damaged but not destroyed me, so I have some old anger I'm still outprocessing.

This is pathetic, if you can't find a girl without using the almighty dollar to buy her, you really don't deserve to be with anyone, period.

There are plenty of peak oil aware women out there, including on the online singles sites. The problem is, there are many MORE mall-bunnies on those sites too.

Use the search feature. Be smart -- no one is going to describe themselves as a "doomer" -- search for phrases like "peak oil" or "progressive" or "house of cards" or whatever phrase floats your boat.

It can work. I speak from experience.

My strategy has always been that in my profile I describe the least-traditional things about me. That way you weed out the mainstream people, the ones who want to go ATV riding every weekend and spend their time Mall*Wart shopping.

Give it a try!

I'm trying, Auntie, but it seems many or even most American women operate from a platform of intense suspicion, distrust, and fear of men.

Men are assumed to be conniving liars whose only real objective is a little nookie.

It's a case of many bad apples (and not just one) spoiling the whole bunch.

So as I see it a personals ad needs to attempt to allay these concerns, to the degree possible. You don't do that by portraying yourself as a wild nonconformist.

After two weeks of pretty heavy e-mails, I yesterday proposed a date with the woman I'm so interested in.

Still waiting for the reply . . . agony.

She's about 50 minutes away, Byron.

A police lieutenant, divorced, 42, with one small child. Level headed and good looking.

What was a Texan doing with caribou in the Philipines?

[IgnoranceIsBliss]

Damn, this thread got interesting quick.

That picture cracked me up. EEEEWWWW. I don't care how bad things get, I will not shack up with that "feral" guy.

Maybe the economic turmoil will lead to women being more available, which could help a lot of single guys!

Not through the NET guy. It is a big enough challange to get to know someone who is in your area imagine the risk you take doing it at a distance.

Number one thing to keep in mind is that photos lie. So if you spot that special one this way forget it.

I would recommend this. Go on a holiday for example to Sochi on the Black Sea and in a "normal" environment try to find someone. Even package tours could be a great way to try this. Then hit the hot spots and start to network.

I think that on those marriage forums you are looking for a gem in a hay stack. The rest are probable sharks from what I heard. But beware of those photos.
