Romance Tours,
Romance tours come in a variety of flavors. Not all are the same nor do they provide equal quality in their services. By the definition that I will use for discussion, a romance tour is any organized system of visiting two or more RW at the same time.
From a logistics standpoint, tours appear to offer the best bang for the buck for the WM. The agency can advertise far and wide about their get-togethers. It puts the burden on the RW to travel to the major cities so that WM don’t have to. This potentially allows RW from a larger geographical and social-economical cross-section to be under consideration by the WM. In concept it’s a good idea, however in practice it can be something else.
Romance tours in Russia have been in existence for over 10 years. In that time, it has evolved considerably… some good and some not so good. On the good side is that tours cover more major cities. This expands the accessibility to a greater number of RW who would be more receptive to the idea of a foreign husband. Tours agencies, in general, have expanded the services so that with careful selection a WM can get exactly what he wants. Tours offer the quickest way to meet a large number of RW very fast. This is good for the WM who is skilled at sizing up women quickly.
Romance tours do have a considerable down-side. First, since they go to more major cities, there is a greater potential for higher costs associated with logistics and travel. If a WM hooks up with a RW, then to meet her in her hometown would be an additional expense in time and money that is carried forward throughout the relationship. Within one to a few short evenings, one generally must sort, extract information, and perhaps make a life altering decision between hundreds of RW. Due to the nature of how tours acquire the necessary number of RW to participate, they can be the least reliable in having good quality sincere RW marriage candidates. Also, many sincere RW would not attend a tour function because of its ‘casting call’ like quality. Additionally, it appears that as a tour matures in a given city, it attracts more professional daters and the like, thus clouding the field even further.
IMO, the WM that is most likely to have successful marriages from romance tours are those that think quickly on their feet and can determine a women’s nature in a few heart beats. I believe that there are few WM that have these attributes. And if they did, most wouldn’t waste their time and money on a romance tour unless their motives are not as advertised.
This is the conundrum of this system of meeting RW. IMO, those that would be most successful with it, don’t need it. Those that do need it are perhaps least likely to have successful marriages. My question is who needs tours at all? With many other avenues to meet and greet RW, why would anyone prefer the tour venue… and why?
I certainly am of the belief that meeting the right RW can be seen as a numbers game. Certainly, the tour method offers the most quantity in the shortest time frame; however numbers is not the only consideration. The advantage of quantity can be quickly lost by a modest decrease in the quality of the RW as a group. As I have mentioned earlier, tours attract perhaps a broader range of RW with a larger range of motives. There can be so many RW that many tour agencies can’t vouch for the seriousness of most of the RW.
Because of the inherit structure and attributes of the “tour” process, on the surface it appears very alluring and attractive to many potential clients. Who wouldn’t want to be in an environment where hundreds of attractive RW are eyeing them (WM).
There is a place for tours. For those that are not initiated into the Russian culture and RW mindset, tours are excellent for testing the waters. They are also good for getting some RW experiences under ones belt and removing the tripping over one’s tongue phase that most every WM goes through when first visiting Russia. Think of a tour as a crash course to RW. Tours will expose one to the whole spectrum of RW. After such exposure it will be much easier to know which RW is right for you in a different venue that has perhaps less quantity and more quality RW venues.

| I am curious as to the general consensus. Is it better to write to one here first and then visit, or should one go to the tour, meet one and write to her to seal the deal?

javierjones,
First, I will preface what I writing with the statement that I’m by no means an expert in tours and have never been on one. That said:
Almost in any strategy, if one has the opportunity, it would rarely hurt one’s chances to write. There are some down sides to writing, however there is perhaps more to gain than lose. If one were to lose something it would most likely be the time and effort of writing.
The latter method of going straight on tour is also an alternative. Having a great time with one or several most likely prospects and then deciding later in the comfort of one’s favorite armchair has its appeal. However, this approach is not good form from a man’s perspective. I have heard of AM doing this and being successful in marrying RW. As I have written before, from a RW’s POV, men make the big decisions. To meet the girl of one’s dreams and then have to think about I for a few months can appear cautious, settling or indecisive. All of these attributes can be seen in a less than a positive light.
This is as much that I can say by the general situation presented. Hope it is helpful.
