Hi Bokanovsky,
"I'm a bit of a history buff. One of the few good things about life in the former communist countries was that men didn't really have to pursue women. If anything, women were more likely to pursue men. Why?"......You must admit,the horrific attrition levels on the Eastern front and Many troops taking Stalins order,Westwards!,a bit too literally and plugging on,well past Berlin,(Why some even made it to Canada),left an incredible gender imbalance in the Eastern block......Indeed in 1946 there were 74.7 Males to 100 Females in the USSR.....There was a Silver lining,of sorts,in that the next generation of Folk,were markedly more beautiful than their predecessors,many less attractive Females having been weeded out.(Smile).
