Below is a lovely joke for my readers:
A young lady came home from a date, very sad. She told her mother,
- “Anthony proposed to me an hour ago”
- “Then why are you so sad?” her mother asked.
- “Because he also told me he is an atheist. Mom, he doesn’t believe there’s a Hell.”
- “Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we’ll show him how wrong he is”, her mother replied.
Q: I have received a message to my mailbox. This message is from a person marked as UNKNOWN in the ‘From’ field. Is it scam? Please explain.
A: First of all, pay close attention to people who send messages to your Mailbox. If you see a message from an UNKNOWN sender, please DELETE this message. ‘Unknown’ profiles are either not approved or deleted by the admin. For your protection, we monitor suspicious activities and delete suspicious profiles from our site.
Unfortunately, these UNKNOWN people (not always women) have some short time to send messages to our male users till the admin detects and deletes their profiles. So be careful and don’t reply to the messages of the people whose profile (or subject) marked as UNKNOWN.
Again, we ask you to report any kind of such messages. We receive such reports and react appropriately. We appreciate your help very much.
These unknown people are possible scammers. They look for unsuspecting men to take advantage of them in some way.
The problem is that most men get caught up in the romance all before they take the time to educate themselves.
Even with all of the information available, the message ‘Be aware of scams’ has not been grasped well enough.
The fact is that scammers use the same variations of scams over and over again.
Unfortunately, many men ignore obvious warning signs of scams.
Important: Be aware of scams, they do exist. When something is obviously suspicious, seek advice. Whatever you do, never send money to someone you have never met for any reason.

Russia is not only a landmass giant, but also unique in its geographical location and hence, the way of life of its people and their homogenous dress and food. Russian clothing features:
Russia is a vast nation and hence, the kind of clothing that one would notice in the dedicated stores of Moscow would naturally be quite different to that found in Siberia. Leather is a fetish in Russia. Lined with fur, the look has become synonymous with Russian clothing. In general, traditional Russian men like to flaunt leather a lot. In fact, till today, no matter what the time of the year is, a leather jacket is a cool thing to have! Russian women wear dresses or long skirts and blouses and love to flaunt high heels.
Color preferences in Russian clothing:
There is a distinct difference in the color and theme preference of the Russian men and women; while the men do not usually like flaunting bright colors in clothing, the women do. The men prefer sober, earthy tones and prefer to keep the look ‘calm’. Many Russians find black and white being very elegant. They pick dark colors mainly due to the amount of dust and mud around and this is a practical choice that runs down the generations. The Russians wear different colors on occasions too; however the colors they choose seem to tell of their lifestyle! There is no hiding the fact that the Russians work very hard and their down-to-earth demeanor is seen in their clothing too.
The colors often seen on Russian men and women tell of their occupation and lifestyle. The colors are from a different scale. The rest of the world is used to people wearing blue, red, yellow and even pink. However, when it comes to shocking and deep shades, only the Russians know how to flaunt them. And the beauty of these people lies in the fact that the shades of colors look different on them and even more natural! The normal fabrics they choose are also to compliment the climatic conditions. They use a lot of wool and linen and in the Russian ‘killer’ winter, furs are a reasonably natural choice.
Moscow fashion:
The fashion trends followed in the capital city of Moscow are quite close to those observed in Europe or New York. The winter clothing differs a bit, since the Russian winters are definitely a challenge. Russian fashion is distinctively different. There are a number of authentic and dedicated online and offline resources that make designer Russian clothing available. In fact, the easiest way to learn more about Russian clothing and purchase authentic apparel is just a click away! Most of the apparel found in other parts of the world, claiming to be Russian, is usually decorated with traditional Russian motifs.
Traditional Russian clothing:
There are a variety of styles to pick from in the way of Russian clothing. The Russian woman’s head-dress is called the kokoshnik. In the western world there are replicas of the original head gear available in an array of fine prints and colors. The fine linen rubashka or the shirts that Russian men wear can also be found at a number of dedicated department stores. The sarafan or the traditional dress of the Russian women is available at a number of outlets, with exclusive embroidery in brocade and silk. And last, but not the least, there is the special and most beautiful Russian shawl. There are tow famous varieties of Russian shawls - the Orenburg goat down shawls and the Pavlovo Posad (100% woolen) shawls.
Symbolism of Russian clothing:
Russian clothing is a show of the traditional folk art and the spirit of the culture of Russia. Traditional Russian clothing is designed to highlight the inner dignity and emotional restraint of every woman. The traditional Russian costumes are not only beautiful, but also very convenient, being specially created for work. The variety of colors used in the traditional costumes display ethnic diversity and it is interesting to note that the Russian word for “beautiful” comes from “krasny”, which is Russian for “red”! info from googleitt.com

Below is a lovely romantic poem by our site member. He allowed me to post it. Here it is:
By Robert Fisher
Upon the fast blurry sounds of this world,
Upon the patches of living green,
From eminence of living colors,
From the living colors of illustrious garden flowers,
In the gardens of lifeʼs poetic beauty,
How did I miss thee?
From lifeʼs vibrance of warm glowing mornings,
Witnessing the birth of a new day,
Upon the morning mist,
And the dew of moistures kiss.
Upon my life,
How didst I miss thy glowing beauty.
Upon the green gardens of the lilies,
To smell the sweet fragrance of the supple rose,
From the warm friendliness of the dancing daises . .
I almost missed you . . . .
From the edge of that old oak tree,
You were growing alone by the sweetness,
And grace of your own radiant spirit,
I found thee . . . .
From a heart that was slow beating,
In icy waters my frozen heart was almost gone,
But alas new blood brings life anew,
And a new breath upon a sweet fragrance of your eminence.
How do we adorn the crimson rose in the distinct color and pattern?
Thy velvet angelic white bonnet w/radiant dots of black and violet elegance.
Not seeing the heart inside that is beyond angelic description of the life divine.
Upon timeless, vibrant spirit and priceless eminence of heart.
To look upon thy timeless, supple beauty,
And humble heart,
My eyes will never forget,
A mystery so dear to me,
Upon my humble prayers,
Trying to live so worthily,
To walk with thee . . .
. . . . . To share

Long-distance relationships are the reality for thousands of men who chose Russian women as their partners. Despite the fact that a long distance relationship seems to be hard to maintain, it is do-able. Hope you will agree that the most important aspect in a long distance relationship is communication.
What questions to ask in order to learn her communication style and preferences?
Below are several questions about her most appropriate ways of communication. Read on to find out some of the questions to ask. Hopefully, you will find your own ways to convey these questions to those women whose English is not fluent.
***
Are you in a long distance relationship? A recent study at Purdue University (Mary C. Pistole) brought the really good news: long distance couples may be happier than those who are within the reach. Why? The study says: “Long-distance partners have high-quality time together, which might create a closeness not seen in those who see each other every day. They have more open communication, fewer trivial arguments, and segment work and relationship time.”
So do not be discouraged if you are in a long distance relationship, as love is its own reward.
