Romanian singles - What are they really like?
Romanian singles I meet are incredibly beautiful women with no money to rub together. They are young, renting something in the city, so have little left over to have much fun.
They are always dressed incredibly well - better than their British equivalents - but remain single far longer. I guess the men are in a similar, penniless, condition - every last penny paying for that black windowed mega stereo car they bought during the booming days.
It does not help that young women are getting more Western and freer with their sexual favors - I was once offered to see a spider at 1.00 am - I declined and the following man refused to say more that 'What went on last night in Predeal, stays in Predeal' making me suspect he saw more than just a spider with the girl with a tight fitting t-shirt with FCUK written across her breasts.
In addition, Romanians are made to work ever harder - staff is dismissed due to the economic crisis - yet productivity of the firm cannot drop, neither can salaries rise apparently. This makes it ever harder to meet new people.
Some Romanians take to online chatting and dating. This seems to be the best way forward - as at least everyone you meet is actively seeking. It is an incredibly fun way to meet new people - and I have been to several weddings from this method.
Other single Romanian women seem to head for places where richer foreigners hang out. In theory this is a winning idea - a constant flow of foreigners, who are rich, looking for fun and will move onto ever-higher positions in ever more exotic places. The problem is most Romanian women are viewed as part of the Romanian experience and not a destination in itself. Very few women find themselves sitting next to their foreign chap as the plane takes off at the end of his contract. The best they can hope for is to meet in his holidays and hope he is behaving himself in the long weeks between as they save furiously for another plane ticket for 2 more weeks of sun, sea and sex.
Romanian singles can advertise in trashy Romantic magazines - they do however need to give out their phone number to the world - no nice PO boxes here - so every nutter can stalk to his heart's delight! Some of the adverts included a 70 year old looking for a 20-year-old flood victim etc.
If you get as far as meeting a nice Romanian girl - this is only the preliminary. Winning over the family torn between their daughter dating a rich foreigner and knowing they will never have in-depth conversations with him and possibly lose their only daughter abroad creates life long rifts and problems which require massive diplomatic tact on all sides. It is also likely to be an accelerated romance - expect to meet the parents very early - the chances are she still lives with them. Don't expect to see the grandparents until she has an engagement ring to show! If she is 100% Bucharest girl, the chances are they to live with her; try to have sex without 2 generations hearing!
Romanian singles have single friends with no morals about tempting away the new friend - I have yet to meet anyone where such a liaison ended well. Romanian girlfriends who are cheated on respond like a British girl in the same situation who in addition was suffering PMT with a chili up her arse - so don't even think about it.
The weird thing is if a single Romanian moves aboard in the search of love - she always seems to end up with another Romanian - especially in Canada - as his mother looks down in shame at the local girls and indoctrinates him from the cradle that only a Romanian woman will do - even after the family has long left Romania in search of riches, adventure and a medical system not in crisis.
