Self employer, i am used to date beautiful women. I am 35 years of age, and come from the nordic countries.
I found a absolutely stunning russian girl online. And we got married this summer.
I will not post any photos, but she looks like a centerfold. It was easier than i thought to find a beautiful russian girl.
At the same time, there were things during the process where i asked myself if she was a scammer or not. She have relocated now, we have a good life.
I will clearly state that love comes in all wrappings, but the whole process from i first found her online until we got married have been a bit of a helter skelter.
Today we live together. I have a perfect live. And I would gladly help other men from western european countries to understand, and how to deal with the dating/avoid scam/and succesfully find the girl of your dreams.
All i say is: Forget 99% of your way of thinking how a russian girl is, and what is important in order to succesfully make her yours.
It is late, but I would start with making some short bullet points. If anyone want help or guidance, I would gladly answer questions.
1) Forget the idea that girls from eastern europe needs a saviour with money.
2) At the same time money is important. A man that can not pay for his girl is not a man.
3) If you believe that you are "on top of the world" because you come from western Europe or the US. Forget it. The girls can admire your past, but who you are as a person is most important.
4) If you believe that you can choose the cutest girl, without being accustomized with at least 10 of the most important designer brands. You are actually wrong. People in Russia don't trust themselves. They trust brands. They live in a community of capitalism on speed.
5) If you think russian woman are cold, and golddiggers. You do not understand the social code.
6) When you believe a western woman knows how to take care of you. You have never benefitted from the love of a russian girl. She wants the best for you. And will show it in ways you where sure was long forgotten. As a man, you are meant to be that. Just a man. And they will accept and love it.
7) To show love for a girl from russia, it is not about words. It is about action. Make her life easier. Always. Care for her, go the extra mile.

I have the most fulfilling relationship ever. We married this year. And I know I have chosen right. Before i met this beautiful goddess, I have never dated online. (Until I found a picture of a girl, ex model, with higher education online)
Now we are married. I would love to guide other hopeful men out there.
