Calwinston, would you say if you're in Kherson that you are automatically labeled a "wife-hunter" or worse a sex tourist by the locals if you don't look the type and don't speak Russian fluently? Reason why I ask is because I got that vibe when I was in Odessa and was asked "shit tests"
Is it even possible to claim that you're a normal tourist in Kherson and seem believable?
Its not really possible to be a normal tourist in Kherson. Its the last major town before entering Crimea (80 km away). So some people driving long distances stay overnight before entering Crimea.
You can visit the oblast jail(oddly placed), the recent Lenin statue that was torn down, the river overlook, the Dniper river beaches, fishing, etc.
When I was at the US Embassy getting some forms notarized. I met a guy from Kherson who was American also. We seemed to be the only ones in the US citizen/passport holder lounge with one lady. The other side was the waiting area for Ukrainians doing visa interviews to get their golden ticket(if they only knew). Didn't look like it was going well for most. One girl stormed out through the wrong door crying. When a security guard had to jump up and escort her out the right way. That's when we started talking about the sad people walking out. Then I discussed at one time I thought about becoming a Foreign Service Officer.

Then I would be the one denying these people a chance to come to the US. Plus what if one guy I deny sees me outside the embassy in the city and tries to kill me. Yeah that's fun.
The guy lived in Kherson and talked about how he was dating 3 women at one time. The guy was 55, semi retired, short and fat. Living a middle class lifestyle in Kherson. He came to Kherson to live a easy, cheap lifestyle, and for the women. Does he tell them women that he is there for them. The answer was yes. He didn't jump through hoops to come up with some made up story about the reason for being in Kherson.
For the short term guy, I went the business route. For me I am always looking for business opportunities if they are worthwhile. For just about 10000 or more you can buy stakes in businesses in countries across the world. So just say you looking at investing in the restaurant, steel, shipbuilding, or real estate (many empty factories). One was converted to a mall, with bowling alley, and ice skating.
You do have to go through the shit test with some women. These are the ones 8 and above (22 and above in age). The younger they are (even the top tier) the more naive the more naive they are. So the easier to game. If you are a older guy (40-45 and over) gaming women under 22 is difficult. Automatically you will be labeled. Just stick to the over 30 desperate crowd if over 45 and you will be okay. Only problem with the over 30 crowd is she more than likely will have a kid. But every foreign man that hits on them, is a suitor for a longer relationship. Even if its short term for the moment she will do her best to make you want her more and make it long term. These are the women you string along to get what you want.
Lastly as I was standing outside the embassy waiting to get in. I seen about 75 women. 100 people in total waiting for an interview. They were dressed like the would about to go to a job interview, but the women with short skirts and high heels. Standing there I thought of embassy game. Park yourself outside the embassy. Act like you are waiting for your appointment. Then game on.
Just a footnote. There is no other reason for you to be out there since the new US Embassy is in the suburbs. But you are still on the metro.
Beresteiska stop.
