The only thing that is kinda off is if she expressed romantic interest first.
Not only did she express it first, but it was after we had been communicating for about 3-4 weeks. And she later said (which I put somewhere in this thread) that she knew within 1.5 months that I was someone of real significant to her in a romantic way. This is part of the reason why I was skeptical and also why a lot of people in this thread said that it's a hallmark of a scammer to begin professing romantic feelings so quickly.
She still might be in it just for money or she might have interested in marrying and gtfo of Russia.
That was the original purpose of my post: actual confusion about her intentions. I was looking for opinions of other models and members about the situation.
You’re awful. You trying to present yourself as innocent sheep but we only see one side of this story, thing you say to her not nice either, even though you pick and choose what to post.
What does innocence have to do with it? Of course I can't post 12 months of conversations but I can assure you that the majority of our conversations were very fun, and many were also really affectionate. You seem to have some clear biases but you aren't understanding that this is a person I actually had genuine feelings for. The reason that I made the post in the first place was because after an entire year, it was still confusing as to what her actual intentions were. Specifically: Does she really want a relationship? Is this all serious? She wants to meet and move from her country? Or is this just a long con? A trail of bread crumbs to keep a guy sending money and giving gifts for years?
Where it started to get frayed was in recent months when the requests for help started to read more liked demands AND I also began to notice discrepancies (and some outright lies). It started to become more and more about her trying to get a big flow of money and an assertion I should basically be supporting her. I get what you are saying about Slavic cultures (and others), but this isn't supporting a girlfriend...this is supporting someone I've never met in person and who had yet to even commit to visiting!
Who even says “your previous bfs didn’t help you so I also shouldn’t”. It’s embarrassing.
You took that out of context but as noted, this is from one of our latter conversations, by which point things were getting ugly...just lots of entitlement from her...and even some insults thrown in for good measure. But again - don't miss the point: Whether or not her previous boyfriends supported her or gave her lots of nice gifts -- I was NOT her boyfriend! She wanted me to provide money and gifts AS THOUGH I was a real life boyfriend....and after a point, that also raised some red flags.
It’s absolutely awful and shows that you think of yourself as superior to her.
You clearly have some biases. I get it that you endorse the notion that the rich guy is supposed to come in and "buy" the girlfriend (and that's a notion lots of people have, not just in Slavic cultures). But you rare missing the fact that I thought for a long time that this woman and I were genuinely close. Still, some of her statements are outrageously narcissistic and entitled, as I look back on them. I don't feel superior to her and I was genuinely interested in her....but over time, it started to come across increasingly sketchy. I wouldn't take issue with it if her goal was simply, "I want to find a guy with money who I like, to get me out of Russia." That would at least be
sincere. What I WOULD have an issue with is someone blatantly lying to someone for a year about having feelings they didn't have -- purely to extract as much money as possible. That's just a scam. And from what others here have said, it's a scam common in studios in Eastern Europe and Russia.
