Below is the forward to the guide authored by independant author Anthony Bochene ... As I write this, thousands of lonely men across the United States and around the world are sitting at computer screens, mindlessly clicking their way through hundreds of pages of beautiful foreign women. Can you believe that, as we speak, there are over eighty sites just featuring Russian ladies! As these men silently gaze at one beautiful face after another, a seemingly endless supply, the questions going through each man's mind, as well as his reasons for searching, are fairly predictable. Most of these men including me, started looking at those faces to begin with because they were alone or unhappy in their present relationship. So at least they've made a first positive step towards finding quality female companionship and long-term happiness. But for some reason, most of them never make it past the window-shopping stage. Interestingly enough, only about one percent of the men who "log-on" to an international dating website will actually ever meet any of those beautiful women face-to-face. Why? Trust me… though some may whine about the cost, money is not the real issue. Statistics show these men earn an above average income and can easily afford overseas travel. Matter of fact, most of them spend more for the computer than a romance trip would cost, yet they sit home alone daydreaming about meeting and falling in love with one of these sexy women. So why don't they go? Truthfully, I think most guys want to believe in fate and the natural order of things…that romance will come along under its own power, and sooner or later we'll trip over the right girl. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't. Personally, I wasn't willing to sit around and wait for the doorbell to ring. I have several buddies trapped in this downward spiral - stuck in a lousy, unexciting, frustrating relationship that they just can't seem to shake. Some of them have become cynical over the years, now avoiding women and serious relationships altogether, living like modern-day hermits. Instead of spending a few bucks on a romance tour, like most materialistic Americans they assume that buying a new toy or remodeling the already oversized house will somehow inject a little passion back into their lives. Although it may work for awhile, the newness quickly fades. Several of my friends, aging gray-haired bachelors, still hang out in the clubs and bars every Friday night. What are they thinking? That sooner or later the right woman will wander in and buy them a drink? Dream on, Cowboy! It seems to me an incredibly absurd way to live, but I guess that's just human nature. I must confess that in the past I've been just as guilty. It has taken me half my life to realize that family, friends, and the love of a good woman are the only things that really matter in this world. Okay, okay… a garage full of good sports equipment doesn't hurt. On the other hand, many of the lonely men who check out these websites ARE seriously motivated. They want to have some control over their lives, their happiness and their future. So, they call and order up a hundred addresses and actually write a few letters. Even then, most approach the international dating thing with a casual, "show me" attitude. I think the main reason is that there are a lot of misconceptions surrounding the "mail-order bride" business. Now more commonly referred to as "international dating", it has become increasingly popular in the last decade with the opening of Russia to the outside world and the explosion of the Internet. Romance tours, a fairly new development, are essentially a vacation with a guide, with the primary goal of meeting foreign women. Very popular and lots of fun! Still, there are many unanswered questions that need to be addressed by someone who isn't a tour company salesman. For example… "What are foreign woman REALLY like?" "Are they truly different than women from my own country or is it just tour company hype?" "Are these women really looking for a good man to love and care for, or are they just looking for a quick escape route out of their own country?" "Do they just want my money?" "What happens if I meet a girl I like? What then?" "Would this trip be worth the cost even if I don't get married?" Unfortunately, rather than making a serious effort to answer these questions, most men just daydream and go back to their miserable relationships or empty routines - playing with their toys, counting their money, surfing the net and always wondering: is there an exciting woman out there waiting for me? The answer is a great big YES! No matter whom you are, what you look like, or how much money you earn, there is a good woman somewhere on the planet that would be proud to have you for her man. However, she is not going to come to you. Advertising herself on the Internet is the best she can do. It is up to you to do the rest. Is money a major issue? I challenge you to add up what you spend in the course of a year on boring dates, dead-end lopsided relationships, and just hanging out with the guys. If you're one of these penny-pinching procrastinators, go ahead… take a look at the bottom line of the American dating scene and then be honest with yourself. Has it really been worth the cost? Before I started going to Russia, in one year alone I spent over a thousand dollars just on personal ads. Placing my own ad or calling theirs. A whole year… and I didn't meet one lady whose name I care to remember - but quite a few psycho chicks I'd just as soon forget. My name is Anthony Bochene. I'm a 45-year old freelance photojournalist from Lake Tahoe, California. No, I don't work for a tour company. Of course, I'll make a few bucks on this little booklet, but I promise you what is written here is true, unbiased information based on a personal experience. Recently I returned from my FIFTH trip to Saint Petersburg, Russia. What an incredible time I had! It just keeps getting better and better. Each time I go I see something new and exciting and meet dozens more beautiful sexy single Russian women. "So Mr. Bochene, if it's so great why aren't you married?" I'll tell you my story in the pages of this book, but first let's talk about you. During my travels in the States and abroad, I met and talked to lots of men who go to Russia to find a bride, and lots of other men who WANT to go, but don't because they can't find good, reliable, unbiased information about foreign women, Internet dating and romance tours. Most of the misinformation that surrounds the mail order bride industry, and Russian romance tours in particular, is primarily fueled by our sensationalist negative news media. Like everything else in the news, they tend to concentrate on a few sad, isolated incidents, and conveniently ignore the dozens of successful ones. Trust me, for each negative report you hear about these tours or overseas dating, I promise you I can give you two examples of a happily married couple who would not have met each other any other way. I've been there and seen it with my own eyes. I've interviewed hundreds of women and dozens of men from countries all around the globe for magazine and newspaper articles I've written on this topic - and boy, do I have some stories to tell. After my last trip I felt compelled to write this guide book not just to entertain you, but to clear up the gray areas and to help you avoid some of the common mistakes that I and other men have made during our search for a bride. This guidebook is designed to help you have a safe, successful, thoroughly enjoyable trip, and meet as many lovely single women as is humanly possible during your visit, and hopefully save yourself a few bucks in the process.
