This is an ultimate expression of long distance dating. Sure these are some beautiful women. Once you take Nadia home to western australia, central US, wherever, she's going to be ridiculously homesick and will probably absorb the Western Princess attitude. These guys are idiots if they think this is a good solution. I've actually seen chicks on match that I was fairly certain got over here, got green card, and then ditched the guy.

Dear DJ,
Well,KC is probably quite right,they will be homesick,but remember these Guys are knocking out what is to many Folk,incredible wage packets...say A$2-3 Grand a week,dollar for dollar our cost of living is about the same as yours...The guy in the North West,will maybe only work Two weeks in Three,and may get an Airline ticket to Perth every month....The Climate is hot in Summer,but everything is Air Conditioned...She will have a good life,her own house,a car,unlimited Food,a relaxing break every Month or so....Hard to appreciate just how poor Eastern Europe is but take it from me,a person on Food Stamps in the States is better off than a hard working Factory Worker or Tradesman over there.

The men over in Western Australia make huge money (mining boom) but there's a serious deficit of single women on our west coast, with most preferring the more SWPL culture of the east coast (Melbourne and Sydney). It's not a surprise they'd be willing to go far to find hot women. The mining blokes not into relationship are often spending huge money on escorts.
