Interested in Meeting Russian Women

I feel strongly about getting to know a person before I make a commitment. I also feel that a relationship is 50/50 but I know you Russian women need help getting over to America, so if you are serious then you can fly over at your expense and we can sit down and talk more to get to know each other.

Sorry buddy, but if you are "interested in meeting Russian women", the only real way to do it is to go to RUSSIA. There are countless reasons that what you want as expressed in your post won't work. Here are a few...

1) Russian women can't just fly here. To enter the U.S. they need a visa, and visas for Russians/Ukrainians to enter the U.S. are very rare and very hard to obtain. A "fiancee visa", on the other hand, is almost a sure thing. But to apply for a fiancee visa, you must have met a woman in person and provide LOTS of proof of the meeting, and of your intentions.

2) Even if not for the visa issue, many Russian/Ukrainian women simply don't have the financial resources to be able to do this.

3) According to their cultural beliefs (and most conservative beliefs about courtship throughout world history), it is the role of the man to PURSUE the woman. I'm not completely sure what you mean by your "50/50" comment, but if you mean each person in the relationship is completely equal in role and function, then Russia/Ukraine may not be the best place for you to "shop". Women there want to be PURSUED, VALUED, PROTECTED, CARED FOR. They value chivalry in a man, not a man who says "If you are serious, then buy your own plane ticket and come here".

If that doesn't work for you, you may need to shop locally.
