Within The Church, there is still a huge area of suitable women in the US.
I'm both American and Orthodox, and I'm not really sure I either a) believe or b) know what you are talking about. A lot of my family even run in Orthodox circles, and over decades (I'm not saying it's never happened) it's very, very rare. One of the reasons is that the country is big and I do think the distance can be an issue in the sense that the is small (which can be good), but are you going to travel or go long distance? No, proximity is a known #1 in all connections, because of time and
timing. It's far more common for the ethnic people to get theirs together, but even that is just 1 generation, and then they are Americans, so the same problem creeps in (if they even teach their kids the faith, another issue).
I think there's a certain level of perfect expectations that aren't realistic abroad.
I can see this as being the case.
Whereas say an Orthodox Christian woman (I am not Christian but just making the point for arguments sake) in rural Belarus or rural Russia has a limited amount of options in terms of local men that can properly financially support a family thus as a foreigner the playing field is somewhat leveled (it somewhat counteracts their home-ground advantage that local men have).
This is the point. We've talked about the agency issue in other threads, so not to kill that, but to cut to the chase, if a woman doesn't experience scarcity at all, or even throughout any point in her life (most women we've ever encountered in the west fit this), you're just not going to get things you're looking for as a man. Period. Even if women aren't objectively more beautiful in the places AS talks about, the far more important part is that the selection pressure on them to be young, thin, etc and be what a man actually wants,
because they need him, is there. Few men, or few good men, as I've stated many times, means little material comfort for them, and them not seeing avenues to fuck off. Think about what western women do from 15-25. Basically whatever the F they want to, with zero regard for the future. And not, I'm not talking about (fat) 5s or below, which aren't why men work hard.
Essentially that is a long winded way of saying in foreign countries there is simply less competition for high caliber women. Easier to win in a less competitive environment. I feel like I would rather try to stack the odds in my favor as much as possible. But that is just me. Some guys prefer an extreme challenge..
It's the additive effect of both less competition AND that fewer good men around causes nearly all the women to at least try, and at younger ages, etc. They don't have the luxury of being spoiled, spending others money, getting fat, old etc.
If you have contacts you can live like a king.
That's the key. And it's almost, or just as hard, as finding the lottery woman in your own country.
If you would be serious on your plans. And this will be your biggest hurdle. There’s only two normal common ways to meet people: work or study. Of course there’s more. Sports etc. but working or studying is the normal way to meet people and make genuine friendships.
It's a good point and what clearly changes as you get well into your 20s and things start to really change.
From my player travelings in Eastern Europe Croatia was the best. Never been to slovenia. But girls were really good looking. Other countries are too much shitholes to live in.
Former Yugo and those similar places seem like gold mines, from all I've heard.
