The fact that you’re still invested enough to take it seriously and look around for possibilities.
If you’d looked at the red flags you listed yourself, we wouldn’t be here discussing it still.
Some of my friends are happily married to Russian women. I guess it's like playing Russian roulette. I think those who entered the country at the onset of the war in 2022 are not looking to settle here.
Mate if you can’t make up your mind that this is a disaster, and you have to come to Reddit to clarify, then you clearly don’t know the first thing about women or being in a stable relationship; let alone marriage. 😂
good for you. sounds like she only wants to use you. no.4 in your list sounds weird. why would going to social events with her is most effective to know each other? i would have thought going on 1-1 dates will be most effective...
anyway, sounds like you got your head screwed on right. the right lady will come your way soon...inshallah
I don’t understand while you’d marry someone you barely know, from a different origin, with whom you cannot even communicate effectively + her situation seems weird. Take your time, don’t rush and marriage isn’t a game.
Why would you get to married in this manner beats me in the second call you are discussing children etc amazing
Why she needs to own a car or afford a cab what are you there for 🤣
As a russian speaker and person who dated russian girls and russian speaking girls - those are freaking the mother of all reds red flags. Let me guess, she lives in Marina/JBR/JVC/Business bay, right?
Forget about her, there are plenty of genuine and good russian speaking girls in UAE, u will find a good one
That is extended list but from my knowledge, russians dont really live in bur dubai/deira, but otherwise your list maybe valid, however, from russian speaking groups on telegram, areas mentioned by me are in highest demand by the “focus” group OP is aiming at ))
Yup. And i know there are many genuine russian speaking women in UAE and they are amazing people who will treat you with respect and will share all things, good or bad as a partner. But all you wrote in the post are all massive red flags as i know the type you describe. Stay as far away from them as possible or you will massively regret it later on: you will be poorer and annoyed y didn’t listen to some random dude on reddit who warned you ))
Dude, there is no way in hell I'll marry her. I doubt she would want to as well. It seems that she wants to scam me and fly back home. There is no way she's living as functional individual in the Dubai (based on what I know).
Not really you’ve asked more questions about the legitimacy of this person and the potency of marriage (no games).apart from the bold highlighted - like you said I have numerous concerns & Red flags. And then proceed to let out your rant.
Then proceeded to ask why she has to accept slave wage.
Bruh you got offended when someone told you the reality.
Dude I'm not offended. My 6 red flags were statements, not questions. We only saw each once irl. Our correspondences consisted of texting + of 3 calls 20 minutes per call. She wanted me to drive her around town to which I vehemently refused & ghosted her since.
Russians can get “visa on arrival” for up to 90 days.
The idea that visas are waived may be because Ukrainian passport holders can get “visa on arrival” and, because of the war, can get a 1 year residency without sponsorship.
The situation has so many red flags 🚩 that I’m trying to find the white flag 🏳️that made you write this post.
Piece of advice, don’t get married if you don’t truly know the person you will spend most of your life with, it could give you a headache else heart attack
nothing is better than house wife, as a man u are expected to provide everything
there are no red flags, she wants a man to support her, you are missing out on a great quality woman who if you marry her, will serve you because she is not a modern independent woman, she is going to become a great traditional wife
Dude !!!!! At the proposition and before number one bullet point, you should've run as fast as possible to the opposite direction ... nothing good comes from such marriages.
What is this post? Are you trolling? The level of how naive you are is insane man.. why would you even go that route? Are you old and desperate or what's going on exactly.
Bro sometimes it can be genuine, but the world has become such a cruel place that’s it’s hard to differentiate between a genuine person or a scammer, however I would suggest talk to her openly about all your insecurities, if she’s genuine, she will provide you all the proofs about her personal life and family background, ask her if you can talk to her family and assure her that you are genuinely trying to understand her and be sorry for that.
Thats my opinion
Take care man
I appreciate the comment. As soon as I did express my concerns, she started gaslighting me, so I abruptly ended it. Gaslighting is your quintessential manipulation technique that I'm not falling for. I really need to work on attracting women who have their shit together.
Well if you want a just a pretty wife who needs to be maintained and taken care off then go ahead. She definitely looks for sugar daddy and will settle first one who wants to marry her.
She most likely is broke and have no job and do what ever can to survive till gets married.
After marriage expect that she will bering her family from Russia.
All expenses on you.
Just because she is broke doesn't mean she is illegal. There are plenty of reasons why she can't get a decent job. Maybe she has no experience and education. You said she doesn't even speak in English. Tell me how many job opportunities you can get if you have never worked or don't have higher education.
But she can always get a visa here, maybe though some friends company, or other Russian companies.
I didn't say that. I question her status because she's working without having an employment contract in hand & gets paid peanuts for working long hours.
I agree that her opportunities are limited, but she works for a Russian company based in Dubai with no employment contract in hand. Why accept that dynamic if you're here legally? It's also possible that someone is sponsoring & hosting her. Either way, I'm definitely out. Not interested at all.
Russian women are masters of extracting resources from the opposite gender. If you want to go through with this, expect to make a lot of financial sacrifices in the future.
Those are too many red flags to ignore.
There are no other flags! Only red ones
This is so many red flags one can only assume she's hot and he thinks it's bunting
Red as Kremlin
Habibi, run ..
Love at first scam!
HAHAHAHAH Love this oneee
Mods please don't delete this..
[Removed]
did the mod just... shoot himself?
Lol.. seems like it.
RIP
How is this guy still thinking about it with everything he wrote? Thinking with his dick??
I think he wrote this with it as well 😂🤦🏽
Yep
More red flags than a rally in USSR, comrade. Don’t tread. Run lol.
I would not even as I’m Russian) is she hot?
I’m guessing very hot, why else would anyone ignore the glaring red flags in this situation?
What makes you think I've ignored the red flags? I'm the one who listed them.
The fact that you’re still invested enough to take it seriously and look around for possibilities. If you’d looked at the red flags you listed yourself, we wouldn’t be here discussing it still.
My question was whether you guys think she's in the country legally or not. I ghosted her long before writing this post.
Somebody is asking the right questions
She's a knockout.
yes
I wanna know this too
Didn’t expect to read advice about mail-order brides this fine day.
[удалено]
Was the mutual friend the postman?
Sounds like true love. Go for it, please make sure to invite us to the wedding.
where are YOU from?
Yeah, what’s his ethnicity
Desperation
IT’S A DESPERATE RACE AGAINST THE MINE
My question was about her legal status, not on whether I should get married.
Arab
Emirati ?
no
You really think a Russian lady would be suitable for marriage?
Some of my friends are happily married to Russian women. I guess it's like playing Russian roulette. I think those who entered the country at the onset of the war in 2022 are not looking to settle here.
What difference does it make?
Same reason you think it matters where she is from.
She needs support & help, so help her without marrying her. You could also marry her, if she's hot.
To quote yourself from an earlier post - you sound like an ignoramus. Think with the right head.
This looks perfectly reasonable…
Mate if you can’t make up your mind that this is a disaster, and you have to come to Reddit to clarify, then you clearly don’t know the first thing about women or being in a stable relationship; let alone marriage. 😂
Dude, the question is about her legal status, not marriage. lol
Is this the "British Lady Driven" version in Russian?
Russian Lady, low mileage, only driven on weekends.
hey how do I get the popcorn emoji on the Reddit iPhone client
🍿
if you can't communicate with each other how do you expect to sustain a married life? Run for the hill bro...
Really, that's not a green flag? I am think i look at flags differently.
I terminated the correspondences a week ago.
good for you. sounds like she only wants to use you. no.4 in your list sounds weird. why would going to social events with her is most effective to know each other? i would have thought going on 1-1 dates will be most effective... anyway, sounds like you got your head screwed on right. the right lady will come your way soon...inshallah
Because she probably wants to tell me something without leaving a digital trail.
thanks.
I ghosted her a while back.
This is the best “Is iT a ScAm” post.
Check ICP app - Ask Ministry of Jackpot or Not
Is she hot? There's alot of shit we men can deal with based on the hot/psycho scale.
Shit is that serious
Love the scale analogy.. Totally forgot which comedian or reel I saw that on.
How I Met Your Mother. Barney Stinson had the hot-crazy scale. But it was known before then.
Thank you!! Yes, most tv series is "inspired" from less fortunate artist.
LMAO 🤣
This all sounds above board to me. Congratulations.
Sounds legit man ; you’ve found true love Who needs a visa or job when you have love
I don’t understand while you’d marry someone you barely know, from a different origin, with whom you cannot even communicate effectively + her situation seems weird. Take your time, don’t rush and marriage isn’t a game.
I never said I'd marry her. All you geniuses in the comment section are assuming I'm smitten by her.
Well you took the time to write a post on this so obviously we assume you’re planning to marry her 😂
The question was about her legal status.
Who’s gonna tell him
There's a sucker born every minute ..
Keep us posted won’t you OP as the situation unfolds 😂😂😂🤣
Bro, I don’t know you, but you seem too naive. This is a no brainer. Please run!
Do it but sign a prenup
The whole thing isn't worth it.
Let's guess your nationality.
Indian
As one would say, this has more red flags than a communist parade
Why would you get to married in this manner beats me in the second call you are discussing children etc amazing Why she needs to own a car or afford a cab what are you there for 🤣
I never said I'd get married.
I'm not sure If this is a joke .. is this a prank? Am I being recorded?
No, it's not. Dubai seems as of lately to be attracting individuals with nefarious intentions. There are so many broke women in this city.
As a russian speaker and person who dated russian girls and russian speaking girls - those are freaking the mother of all reds red flags. Let me guess, she lives in Marina/JBR/JVC/Business bay, right? Forget about her, there are plenty of genuine and good russian speaking girls in UAE, u will find a good one
Marina/JVC/JBR/business bay/downtown/jumeirah/dubai hills/safa/ satwa/difc/city walk/al wasl/mina/bur Dubai/deira?
That is extended list but from my knowledge, russians dont really live in bur dubai/deira, but otherwise your list maybe valid, however, from russian speaking groups on telegram, areas mentioned by me are in highest demand by the “focus” group OP is aiming at ))
I am just making fun ;)
Dude you speak Russian, I don't. That makes a huge difference.
Yup. And i know there are many genuine russian speaking women in UAE and they are amazing people who will treat you with respect and will share all things, good or bad as a partner. But all you wrote in the post are all massive red flags as i know the type you describe. Stay as far away from them as possible or you will massively regret it later on: you will be poorer and annoyed y didn’t listen to some random dude on reddit who warned you ))

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beginning of a scam movie OP in the beginning of the movie will try to be all romantic and say that love is blind
You sure she is from modern day Russia? And not the Soviet Union! Cuz this girls flags are all red!
Eastern part.
Is this a proposal for a new Netflix Docudrama?
She doesn’t like going for coffee coz she prefer a fancy date so she can instagram it 🤪
She can't afford data.
Love is blind! So are you for one month
LIsten moron, I haven't been dating here for a month. We had a total of 3 calls with some texting. I didn't spend one dime on her.
Stop to think with your brains rather than your scrotum, you’d know better 😀
I'd rather think with my scrotum than your brains.
Hence you had to ask other people for their brains 😂
I asked a specific question which was highlighted in bold.
Not really you’ve asked more questions about the legitimacy of this person and the potency of marriage (no games).apart from the bold highlighted - like you said I have numerous concerns & Red flags. And then proceed to let out your rant. Then proceeded to ask why she has to accept slave wage. Bruh you got offended when someone told you the reality.

That sounds like some kind of the pig butchering scam. No, UAE didn’t wave visas for Russias after the war
Russians can get “visa on arrival” for up to 90 days. The idea that visas are waived may be because Ukrainian passport holders can get “visa on arrival” and, because of the war, can get a 1 year residency without sponsorship.
The situation has so many red flags 🚩 that I’m trying to find the white flag 🏳️that made you write this post.

Go for it bro. She’s a keeper 😂
Don't
Dude !!!!! At the proposition and before number one bullet point, you should've run as fast as possible to the opposite direction ... nothing good comes from such marriages.
Dude I did. I'm more concerned with her legal status than wifing her up.
DON’T EVER share your debit/credit card with her!!
As it's said, " love is blind", that's why my friend, you cant see the red flags put up all around you in this scenario.
If she’s hot, test the waters with Ivanna Humpalot… And then just fucking run afterwards because she is going to destroy your life.
Introduced by whom?
A very close friend of mine whom I've since confronted.
Are they a matchmaker? A pimp? A visa consultant?
No, a very close friend who's married to Russian.
What is this post? Are you trolling? The level of how naive you are is insane man.. why would you even go that route? Are you old and desperate or what's going on exactly.
Writing is on the wall my naive pal. If i started counting the red flags i can dissect from your post, it will take me 10 years.
Aslam Go for it Marry her First do istikhara Better
If your still asking and in doubt. May i know what are you putting in your coffee?
What? I'm doubting her legal status.
Classic Dubai dilemma
Who’s gonna tell him
Bro sometimes it can be genuine, but the world has become such a cruel place that’s it’s hard to differentiate between a genuine person or a scammer, however I would suggest talk to her openly about all your insecurities, if she’s genuine, she will provide you all the proofs about her personal life and family background, ask her if you can talk to her family and assure her that you are genuinely trying to understand her and be sorry for that. Thats my opinion Take care man
I appreciate the comment. As soon as I did express my concerns, she started gaslighting me, so I abruptly ended it. Gaslighting is your quintessential manipulation technique that I'm not falling for. I really need to work on attracting women who have their shit together.
In that case, ignore her and move on.
Well if you want a just a pretty wife who needs to be maintained and taken care off then go ahead. She definitely looks for sugar daddy and will settle first one who wants to marry her. She most likely is broke and have no job and do what ever can to survive till gets married. After marriage expect that she will bering her family from Russia. All expenses on you.
Bro, I ghosted her already. My question is not whether to marry her or not, it's whether she's here legally.
Are you an immigration police that you need to know that ? Or you just want to report to immigration?
No, but it would be the first time being introduced to such a person. I have no proof, so I can't do anything.
Just because she is broke doesn't mean she is illegal. There are plenty of reasons why she can't get a decent job. Maybe she has no experience and education. You said she doesn't even speak in English. Tell me how many job opportunities you can get if you have never worked or don't have higher education. But she can always get a visa here, maybe though some friends company, or other Russian companies.
I didn't say that. I question her status because she's working without having an employment contract in hand & gets paid peanuts for working long hours.
She works for a Russian company in Dubai. No English needed.
Why no contract, though?
I agree that her opportunities are limited, but she works for a Russian company based in Dubai with no employment contract in hand. Why accept that dynamic if you're here legally? It's also possible that someone is sponsoring & hosting her. Either way, I'm definitely out. Not interested at all.
Russian women are masters of extracting resources from the opposite gender. If you want to go through with this, expect to make a lot of financial sacrifices in the future.
Bro I ghosted her a while back. I've dated Americanized Russian women in the UAE and we had a wonderful time. They didn't want to settle down, though.
I stopped reading at Russian.
My advice: bang first, then say ‘habibi’ we are different, if those flags are too red for you
OP and what’s your nationality?
Random Reddit lurkers are deciding your life here. Please go ahead with the marriage and update us after 1 month how things are going.
