First Photos to a Russian Bride…
In the beginning of a correspondence relationship with a Russian Woman, she will be very observant to every little detail of any exchange from a WM. She will try to read between the lines, so to speak, in an effort to get a peak behind the writing persona. We as men can be sometimes a bit obtuse when it comes to writing carefully and will opt to supplement our verbiage with photos. As they say, “one picture is worth a thousand words.” Thus, photos would make describing what life is like in one’s homeland a much easier task whether it is taxing or not.
Sending pictures is a good idea. It supplements one’s writings with a real image instead of and imagined image. This is kind of like a truth in labeling of what we write about. RW will use this to verify what one writes or says.
However, the down side is that we may unintentionally send the wrong message with photos. For instance, sending a picture of yourself wearing only a Speedo is certainly in most cases gives the impression that one is thinking below the belt. Also, many forms of casual attire (T-shirts, shorts, flip-flops, etc.) are poor choices of presenting oneself in the initial images that one may send to their prospective RW. In this regard, RW may not be rich, however they place a high emphasis in personal appearance and attire. Consequently, one can’t go wrong in dressing the part to put one’s foot forward.
The devil's in the details. So perhaps you have some good pics of yourself outside your rich uncle’s mansion in Beverly Hills or when you where vacationing on the Rivera. You may think that these would be great pictures to show how good life can be with you. Again, our ingrained ideas of having to put our best foot forward can end up kicking us in the behind with RW. Most RW will take such pictures as what your typical life is like. As such, they will become very disappointed when they find out otherwise. In most WM/RW early relationships it is best to not inadvertently “raise the bar”.
So what to do? RW want to see what your real life is like. To you it may seem boring, but that is your perspective. It doesn’t take a lot to excite most RW. In all respects be open and honest about yourself. However, this doesn’t mean to be an open book either. Pictures of yourself in your natural habitat such as in your home, backyard or with family will not hurt. Avoid pictures that show expensive material possession (personal yacht, Ferrari, tennis court, Olympic size swimming pool, mansions, etc). IF you don’t, be prepared to act the part of a sponsor.
Going back to the goal of send pictures… is to sell oneself as a person of good standing who is ready, willing and able to start or have a family with a RW. This is by far the most important point to convey. The rest is just personal preference from both sides. Stick with the basics and you won’t go wrong in by “raising the bar” or induce buyer’s remorse in your RW to be.
