    Is that how it is with all russian women?
    I have the feeling that you took the bait. Have you?

    Certainly! I won't write love letters, but it would be great if you sent me all your money

    Fantom, you have to say some nice things in Russian first. Go!

    Yeah, give me your account number, and... Yes, I'll put money in your account. That's what I'll do... :P

    Oh, boy... The first two phrases I was taught in Russian:

    Я хочу тебя.

    And the second one, I don't think I can't repeat here!

    Let's see, something I wrote on a napkin to my girlfriend before we were dating....

    Я думаю, что ты красивая.

    The important thing to know to say in Russian is...

    Ключи от квартиры, где деньги лежат.

    That's what I was kind of thinking also... That's a great movie, I actually bought it because it was so good... I'm going to try and have the teacher play it in class.

    Actually, this used to be a slogan (talking about advertising in USSR).
    There were a few more
    Летайте самолётами Аэрофлота (as if there was a choice other than taking a train)
    anything else? can't remember.

    Other possibilities:

    В темноте ты очень красивая.
    Со спины ты очень красивая.
    Издалека ты очень красивая.

    Antonym:

    Столько мне не выпить.

    This reminds me of my favorite English compliment:

    You don't sweat too much for a fat chick.

    Back to Russian:

    С таким характером могла бы быть и покрасивее.

    But this is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the words of love that our RSL friends have used or would like to use on their Russian "female interests" as fantom famously put it. Or male for that matter.

    And there we are collecting USSR era advertising slogans.

    Whatever. The point is that женский интерес is something women have, not something fantom has for women.
