Ulkomaalainen kaipaa suomalaisilta naisilta vinkkejä!

stay where you are said:"No, No! Foreing boyfriend or husband leeds to becoming depended on social work and welfare"

I'm not sure what you meant by that. If you meant Kela (social insurance institution of Finland), I think no-one should become depended on that. Kela helps those who are struggling, but money for that comes from every workers pocket. So it's not reasonable to have only goal using Kela, if you really weren't struggling, because of that increases everybody else's charge. If we lost the balance of using Kela, soon no-one can rely on Kela when they really need it.

About the status-thing... I actually know women who are seeking for foreign bf:s just for status. Not talking about "status" by financial meaning, because of women in Finland can have pretty good incomes, but rather status of something "exotic". But unless the foreign boy isn't seeking for the same, I think those girls are not what you're looking for. I'd say, if you meet really eager girl in Finland, that's probably exactly one of those "status-girls". If you're looking for real relationship, don't be too impulsive on your moves, and look also for those, who at first doesn't seem to be the most interested in you.

"Where are good places to meet ladies in Finland (clubs, bars, library)? Do you have to be introduced to them? Do they expect guys to be aggressive or laid back? Do most speak english reasonably well? Please no mocking responses. Thanks."

I think you meet those youngest girls a little over 18 at clubs. Bars are seen as places where you seek for one night's relationships. When you're looking for more enduring relationship, clubs, libraries, parks, movie theaters etc. are better places. You don't have to be introduced to a Finnish girl, but that's okay if you meet trough same friend group. Finnish girls are seen equally free to have relationships as Finnish boys, so there's no need for "asking permissiom from Father" kind of things. Aggressive-laid back... That's a question of personal taste, I think. But you should understand to shut up if the girl you're talking to, doesn't pay any attention to you and continues conversation with someone else or leaves the place. I think most Finnish girls have good level of English, yet we can be a little shy to use it. But I think most of us would speak "reasonably well" (but not when drunken, heh).
