Russians

Hello

I have been trying to make friends with people in Russia but I have had no luck. I was friendly with one guy and even helped him write something for a site were he was looking to find new students. Chatted a few times then nothing. I know he has had personal problems but I would expect at least a short reply..Nothing

Next I met someone who was teaching Russian. I took a few lessons and I thought we were getting along fine but when I stopped the lessons, he went silent and has never responded to my attempts to have a chat on Skype

I am a older guy and just wanted to make friends with someone who I can chat with. I have made many friends elsewhere but it seems like , for whatever reason, I cant find a single person in Russia.

I just dont understand why..

Any ideas? 

Tell them you like vodka if you do. I'd be lying if I said I did.

Why do you want a friend from Russia?

Dz... I think mainly out of a desire to know the people we Americans have been at odds with for so many years...

Who aren't the Americans at odds with these days... Anyway if you're that interested why not just join one of the many Russian clubs here at chess.com.

Man,... we, Russians, are a bit strange people.

We are not friendly and openhearted people as many think... and as the Russian classical literature represent us.

I feel the same as you do.  I knew one Russian girl... Vika… Victoria...  I knew her during ten years !

And then she simply disappeared )… And even didn't call me not one time since then.

( It's only one example of many others I can tell).

If you want to have a russian friend,...  make friendship with me. )

I don't know... Maybe it's because the life in Russia is so difficult these days... that it makes us so egoistic, closed and introvert people.

I really love Russia 

You seem to have a hatred for Russians because of your beliefs. And judging a book by it's cover, you come to a conclusion that all Russians are bad. Why?

If you would hear what they speak about you, americans... then you change your mind and opinion about russians.

For example they say that the famous american flight to the Moon is fake... and holywood film fiction. ))))  I heard that with my own ears on Moscow radiostation "KP" ("Komsomolskay Pravda').

Or they (Putin's tele-propagandists) explain russian tv viewers that Black Life Matters gonna destroy America.  And very soon we will see new Civil War on american continent.

They speak that bla-bla-bla day by day. ))

But of course you are right. There are different russian people... good and bad.

We have  people here just as crazy..

a chess.com mod needs to lock this forum topic

sad because I started it only to make friends in a country that has long been our rival..The world is hopeless!

There is no need to lock this thread. [Deleted by Moderator: kipari] was muted because of racist comments in a different thread. It sad when people with good goals are disparaged by those with ill intentions! You must never give up hope, as that lets evil prevail.

well i give up..i tried to make friends with someone in Russia but no luck..

Idk much of Russians, But from what I've experienced so far....they're lovely guys, mostly calm, they try to do meaningful conversations(not applicable on anime fans), they've got a tough language...yeah Russian is difficult for me at least...., they try to be more private. They become friends easily, but for true friendship, years of trust is required(oh! C'mon I know this is a universal truth, but Russians don't trust anyone that easily as others do), they are bad at driving cars (you all know about infamous Russian road accidents, don't you?)... overall they are like my own people 

nothing intended for hurting anyone feelings, its just my personal opinion....

Привет, сынок, что у тебя там?

Россия прохладно я я проверить louisgamercool на YouTube

It's true.

Your describing of us, russians, is quite  valid and objective... as it seems to me personally.
