Are Any Of The Women In The Ukraine Seriously Looking For Marriage And Travel To The U.S.?

Don't do it. If you simply want to share your life with someone, why "shop online" for marriage? I am from that area. Moved and went to school in US and met my husband here - we're happy - but getting a little sick of the "was she a mail order bride" jokes. Let me tell you, the myth of Russian/Ukrainian Brides here has the reverse version of Stupid Western Husbands there. The woman will try to find a reasonable man with $$ and status, move here and marry him (usually briefly) and then divorce, getting a nice settlement (which they often can't get in their home judicial system) and a greencard, if not citizenship! Works well for them! Be careful. Remember - most of these women have a college education, a career, and usually children. Very few of them are naive passive cute girls looking for a "nice man". There are plenty of nice men in Ukraine! It's the greenbacks and the allure of being whisked away to a foreign country like a princess :-)
 
Also, I would argue against participating in this system that (perhaps unintentionally) endangers women. Some of the potential husbands are essentially pimps who marry a woman bring her here and then take her passport and sell her to a prostitution ring. Many many horror stories. Why do you think there are so many Russian/Ukrainian call girls in Abu Dhabi? It's crazy...
 
If you really want to find a life partner and are interested in Eastern Europe (not just b/c you think they're hot), travel there, take language classes, etc. Don't forget there are many many Eastern Europeans (incl single women) right here in the US! They are more familiar with US culture, language etc. It is no small thing to bring a woman to be your WIFE from a totally different culture and part of the world. Ukrainians and Russians believe in a strong extended family so it is usually pretty traumatic for these women to be torn away from their relatives, even if they don't expect it to be. They might adjust by demanding that you bring their relatives to visit - on YOUR dime.
 
Overall, be careful about following an idealized picture of the Ukrainian bride. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. (DEFINITELY is, in this case).  Good luck!

I agree with you. I am also 50 and I have also been to Ukraine many times. I would love to find the right woman there and I am sure I will. I am also in good shape and I am very aware of the situation in Ukraine. Everyone thinks Ukrainian women and Russian women are the same. We ll there not OK. I have been to russia and the women there are different. I am writing a book about my travels there and why I went elsewhere to find a wife. You think American women are not out for money?? Ha, think again and not only that but when you marry an american women they think you the husband owe them everything. If you can't afford to take on the responsibility of marrying a foreign woman don't do it. If you are out of shape and 50 what makes you think there is a woman that is beautiful, smart, educated and sexy that would want you. Slavic women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. There are more than 4 million more women in Ukraine than men. Most of the married men there have a mistress and there wives accept this for the most part. I have not dated an American women in almost 2 years and have no intentions of starting now.
The russian dating sites are not so great but sometimes you have to go through the bad to get to the good. Just be careful of what you ask for and be careful of the women there. Chances are if she can't speak english you should move on. Yes it is true that the women in Ukraine are very close with their family, there is no doubt and she will want to see them. Be prepared for that.

The bottom line is after dating a few Slavic women you will never go back to Americans, there is no doubt about it. Good luck to you!!! I hope you find what you search.

My friend married to a woman from Ukraine, but they met here, united states.
