Hearing that there is a big Russian/Ukrainian community sounds awesome enough for me. But, like i said earlier. I hate not standing out. I'll just be another good looking person of south american decent there. Maybe i think too much about it. But, it might have to do with me mostly being attracted to white women and hispanic women with more European features rather than native.
You travel less now that you have a wife? I assume you can work remotely as the owner of a tech company.
Hispanic - 279,456 (70.0%) Black alone - 64,993 (16.3%) White alone - 47,622 (11.9%) Asian alone - 3,649 (0.9%) Two or more races - 2,642 (0.7%) Other race alone - 676 (0.2%) American Indian alone - 361 (0.09%) Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone - 58 (0.01%) 12% white isn't gonna do it for me. Gotta have my white girls. Fort Lauderdale White alone - 86,903 (52.5%) Black alone - 50,258 (30.4%) Hispanic - 22,752 (13.7%) Asian alone - 2,406 (1.5%) Two or more races - 2,285 (1.4%) Other race alone - 517 (0.3%) American Indian alone - 329 (0.2%) Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone - 71 (0.04%)
Check out Floripa in Brazil. It's a scenic town with a heavy population of Spanish descendants. That fits your need of latina women with feminine personalities - especially if you know Spanish. You won't stand out but you'll find girls with less ostentatious values (that seems to be what you want). Sao Paulo and RDJ will be too status-centric for you; ultimately I see nerds getting frustrated in the US with its jock and celeb worship culture.
They speak Portuguese and i know you have to be right. There must be a reason why the most beautiful models in the world keep coming from Brazil. They have exactly what i like. Someone like Adrianna Lima. Can tan very dark, but still has blue eyes and sharp European features. That's so hot. If a large portion of the 70% of hispanics in Miami looks like this: I'm sold.
You don't stand out based on the way you look. You stand out based on who you are and how you interact.
Yes. I travel much less, however we do go to Ukraine at least once per year to see her family and usually stay for a month. I still travel for conferences and occasionally I'll go to the Philippines which is where the majority of my outsourced staff is located. Also travel to Houston to see family.
Read this: South Florida’s Little Moscow has lots to offer Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/01/03/3166453/south-floridas-little-moscow-has.html#storylink=cpy The unfamiliar-sounding names can be seen along a stretch of Collins Avenue and East Hallandale Beach Boulevard: Matryoshka Deli Food, Tatiana Club & Restaurant, Kirova Ballet Academy. The owners of these businesses are Russian-speaking professionals catering to Russian-speaking customers. Welcome to South Florida’s Little Moscow. Among the most famous of so-called Russian residents in this region are NHL player Pavel Bure and tennis player Anna Kournikova, who own luxury waterfront villas on nearby Miami Beach. But those who live in the district that stretches from Sunny Isles to Hallandale Beach, could hardly be called “Russian.” They consist of more than 20 nationalities: Ukranians, Belorusians, Jews, Lithuanians, Latvians, Moldavians, Uzbeks and Chechens, to name a few. The only thing that unites all of these people is the Russian language. Russian speakers began to emigrate during former Soviet Union times when many were fleeing for political and social reasons. Among those relocating to South Florida was a significant Jewish population. Immigrants of the 1970-’80s adopted the United States as their new homeland, so they spent much of their time trying to adjust themselves and their children to American traditions, culture and way of life. The second wave of Russian immigration came after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. For many, the desire to relocate was for economic reasons. “These people didn’t ruin their Russian connection — they kept on developing businesses and investing in Russia while staying in Miami,” writes Vera Kishinevski in her book Russian Immigrants in the United States: Adapting to American Culture (New Americans). The author adds that many of the immigrants from that era still call Russia their home and follow Russian news, politics and the economy. Many also hire Russian teachers for their children. At the Russian-named shops, cafes and bars that dot the bilingual Sunny Isles/Hallandale Beach district, customers can find just about any service in Russian faster than in English. Lawyers, doctors, hair stylists, tourism managers and journalists are ready fulfill the needs of Russian-speaking clients. Janna Kirova, founder of Kirova Ballet Academy of Miami, has spent about 10 years teaching classical Russian ballet to American, Russian and Hispanic children. A professional dancer trained at the prestigious Vaganova Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia, Kirova said she can’t imagine herself without endless ballet classes. She teaches Russian-style choreography to her 200 students. “Ballet is undoubtedly one of Russia’s symbols,” Kirova said. “As opposed to other arts, it’s been cultivating in our country throughout its whole history, even in the Soviet times. So it’s literally our natural way to express feelings in motion.” “When I watched a ballet performance for the first time in my childhood, I was fascinated by its airy beauty and symbolism,” she said. “Ballet has become my way of life, my language and my love.” While Kirova’s dance academy has survived, other businesses in the Russian-speaking district have struggled, and a few have closed over the years. Matryoshka Deli Food, which opened in November 2012, has become a popular gathering spot for Russian-speakers in Sunny Isles Beach. According to store owner Tatyana Pugachova, “It is a supermarket and bistro with traditional Russian food and with the high level of service that the Americans are used to.” Although the shop provides clients with authentic Russian caviar, bakery and milk products, the assortment includes some international dishes, as well. Next to the solyanka soup one can find a traditional Ukranian borsht and Jewish potato latkes. “Our clients could be Russians, Ukranians, Jews. … It doesn’t matter. Every tenth client is American, and every seventh is Latin,” said Tatiana Kolpakova, the executive chef at Matryoshka. “Everybody likes delicious Russian pancakes with caviar or delightful steaming borscht with sour cream.” “Relationships with Americans are mostly for business. We prefer to spend our free time with Russians just because it’s more comfortable for us,” said Pugachova, the shop owner. “It’s not a question of liking or the language barrier, but the mentality thing. With Russian-speaking people, we laugh at the same jokes, remember the same books and films. And it doesn’t even matter where he (the customer) is from — Israel or Ukraine, whatever. If he grew up in the Soviet Union, we consider him a part of our community.” As Russian-speaking families adapt to life in the United States, they also work hard to preserve their language so it is not lost among the younger generation. “We always speak Russian with our children when they are at home, but they also study English at school,” said Pugachova. “My son may ask me to give him a toy car in Russian and name the color in English. There is a mix of languages in his head now, but in the future he will be able to speak Russian and English fluently. It’s our goal as parents.” Elena Potapova is an executive multimedia editor for the Moscow-based Russia Beyond The Headlines online news site. She was in Miami on an exchange program sponsored by the Washington-based International Center for Journalists.
That sounds awesome. I've always wanted to find an area like that. Is there anything like it in Houston? My cousin has lived in Russia for the past 5 years and b4 that around Europe for 6 years. He is the reason i started noticing Russian and eastern euro women. If i can find me a good Russian or Ukrainian woman, i'd be set. I'm currently talking to a Russian girl from Kazakhstan who moved here(not the tall, thin type i like, but still cute and gorgeous bright blue eyes) and a Ukrainian girl i met online who lives in Kiev. We do the skype thing and she is so hot and the sweetest thing, but she says she only wants to move to Spain and wants me to come and already talking about children. No way will Spain happen. Still trying to convince her Houston aint bad and it doesn't have to be forever. I guess the reason i mentioned Miami not having serious relationship type girls, is because i do want to finally have children. I want good looking, tall kids. And i believe the best mix to go along with my genes would be that of a European/Russian girl. Honestly, anything mixed with white usually comes out beautiful. Its those opposite features coming together and creating a very exotic look. I don't know if it's just my opinion or how i wanted it this way. Might have to do with being turned away from hispanic girls bc i grew up always falling for the hispanic girls who only dated white guys. But, now i ain't even mad. They want the same thing i want.
Lame attempt at humor is lame. It doesn't even make sense, brah. For those who will be there, Ronny will be the one rockin daisy dukes and a deep enough V that shows off her dangly belly button ring. Look out for her.
LOL they don't. Think: chonga. There's definitely good looking women there, but not that many supremely gorgeous girls (probably more than other parts of the world since it's warm year round and always an excuse to show skin, but I wouldn't say anywhere close to the majority are "hot"). If you're into the clubbing scene and enjoy the company of models (basically, if you enjoy spending hundreds of dollars every weekend, which s perfectly fine...a lot of people do), then South Beach is a playland. When I lived in Miami, I much preferred other areas (though I definitely had plenty of fun on Miami Beach, just not what I'm really into).
