Life is Better in the Ukraine

There are “good girls” and “bad girls” in the Ukraine. Many men fall into the trap of choosing the wrong ones. This is about them.


Life is better in Ukraine than America? How can this possibly be true? After all the average monthly income in Ukraine is $170.00 and even in the “rich” capital Kiev the average monthly income is still only $200.00! Sadly life is better here.

Many Americans, and westerners, come to the Ukraine and they do not understand why the women are mostly not interested in them. Well, the sad fact is, their life is better here! What can you offer them that is better than they have?

You can offer them a great comfortable house, with a great bed, fantastic soft couch, wall to wall carpet, a beautiful lawn and two cars in the garage. That is not what she wants! What she values here in the Ukraine is going to discos with here friends. She wants to have very expensive clothes, at least a thousand dollar outfit.

She wants to sit in the café, smoking a cigarette, sending SMS messages on her $300.00 cell phone and looking cooler than anyone else in the café.

Where in America will she be so cool? She places high value on having very showy material goods and appearing like she is somebody. Her best day is going to the new disco in town with all of her VERY expensive belongings and smoking away and being sooooo cool. Where else can she live like the advertisements in the newspapers?

What you say? Yea, real cool! She has maybe $2.00 in her pocket and will go home to an apartment without hot water that has six people living in two rooms and sharing one old Soviet toilet.

As strange as it seems THIS IS A BETTER LIFE! We westerners have a very difficult time perceiving their values. And they do have very different values.

I was once in Kherson Ukraine and an old man asked me if life was better in America that Kherson. I replied yes, we have eight hours of water in America. (Most apartments in Kherson have only 6 hours of water every day. Electricity is turned off from 11:00 PM to 7:00AM). By the way, that is water, not HOT water.

So the women in Kherson go out to the discos with their one and only outfit and life is better for them, especially if you will help them with money. Most women here are not looking to leave but have a great time, and it can be at your expense and emotions. The last place they want to live is where everyone wears the “American Uniform”, blue jeans and tennis shoes. Come here in the summer and look for a woman wearing shorts. You will have a difficult time. They wear skirts! Oh yea, sorry the woman in the shorts with the fat butt will be an American.

Now there are many very nice and honest women here who really do want a better life. Unfortunately, a great deal of the women who are here have a far different perception of what is a quality life than we do.
This has all been said a little tongue in cheek, but we must understand that the world does not live by the American dream.

So, come on over. The water is fine. There are good women here but we must take things realistically and not think our world is superior to everyone.
