Comments for Romanian Survival Book http://romaniansurvivalbook.wordpress.com In the last few years I have met many foreigners living in Romania. I also have lots of foreign friends everywhere. Every now and then, but on regular basis, I hear how Romania or Romanians are and I am being asked about that. Here is the beginning of a cultural guide to getting to know Romania and Romanians with good and bad, so feel free to have have your say. Many other countries are doing this unconventional research, so, why not us too?!

Sorry for repeating myself if this was said in any past post, (there are too many and I don't really have the time to read them hahaha) but I personally believe that - at least where I am living currently, it's like a fashion to be dating someone, especially for the girls. I currently live in Ramnicu-Valcea as an exchange student from New York, and from what I have seen for the past... I think 8 months, it seems like the guys are quite macho yes, and they will wait for any girl to make the first move cause from ehat I have seen - guys are more centered around sex more than anything really. I mean I have met a couple of good guys, but then again what it always come's down to is sex. I am Filippino-American and from New York, so the whole "exotic" thing is DEFINITELY true - everywhere I go I somehow always get some looks because it is really really apparent that I am not a native Romanian. This blog is quite true, but I would just like to add that boyfriends are like toys to girls, and many of the young people in Romania are more focused on being with someone as a social status and somewhat as a possesive... each person in the relationship, from what I have seen from being in Ramnicu-Valcea, makes the relationship seem like something that needs to be noteworthy and everyone should know about what the guy buys for the girl, and how good the girl is in bed. Or, for those loose relationships, which I could imagine in Bucharesti, it matters on how beautiful and how many you have "shagged". But overall, I do agree that Romanian women are quite beautiful then the men, although it seems like they look slightly unhealthy because of how thin they really are and trying to be the european model type. Also, some of the guys are quite fantastic and warm-hearted - but if you're a female foreigner (like myself) this may happen a lot more for the wrong reasons. But really, I do like the men here and you pretty much it would be cool to find a nice, decent guy here - but of course, being an exchange student - you can't really do that. :P hahah Multumesc mult pentru asta, m-am placut sa citesc asta :) (gramatica mea e varza hahah) I’ve just stumbled on this post through Google for some reason, and a lot of the things you said is true…

I'm recently pursued by a very attractive, smart, considerate, and sweet Romanian man. But being in NYC, it's hard not to second guess "Maybe it's too good to be true," no matter where the man comes from and proceed with caustious optimism.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent ISP? I don't care if its Cable or DSL I just need a good constant connection, moderately cheap if possible, and reliable enough for video (might do a video blog instead). A foreign exchange contact I met in school decided to let me stay with him as long as I front some of his costs. I will be staying in Titan, Aleea Soldat Tudor Ion. Any assistance would be great.

(i'm an american woman living in the US, btw.) because i do not wish to be called a stupid bitch, and because i'm not a regular reader of this blog, and because i think this thread has degenerated into a fight, i won't go on. but i wanted to say thank you to Jennifer who posted her comment on 2/19/08, with something nice to say. and i think it was needed, and i for one appreciated it, and enjoyed her happy story. i don't know what will happen with me and my new romanian friend, but i'm 41 and have dated alot of different men, had different types of relationships, with americans and europeans, nice guys and jerks, for fun flings and long-term togetherness. and though i still make some bad choices sometimes, i am a pretty good judge of character, and this gentleman i went out with tonight was just that. a gentleman. direct yes. confident yes. intelligent, funny, goal driven, respectful and complimentary yes. and seemingly very honest, and concerned over whether i was honest or not, because he has been lied to in the past and is quite cautious, even moreso than i. we'll see what we see for me. i know that i won't date someone that treats me like crap, whether it is day one or day 300 when it suddenly appears. i learned that the hard way, before i ever met a romanian. and that's up to me to decide, not to put up with or blame a country for. thank you for the stimulating blog. take care, all. wow. this is the first time i’ve read this blog, so i know i don’t have a well-rounded picture of it. i found this post in a search for ‘romanian men’, because i just went out with one. and i was just curious. i am always curious about different cultures, especially dating habits, men and women, things like that. the more i learn, the less i am really concerned, or feel that any one place is so horrible or different from another, in these ways.
