Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
I think everyone seems to enjoy it. - Sep 2023
It's great for families and for couples. Single people, harder to say. Single men may find a lot of Moldovan women buying into the stereotype of rich Western man, for good and for bad. For single women, Moldova is still a pretty traditional / patriarchal culture in a lot of ways, but there's no shortage of places to go and things to do. - Apr 2019
I've seen other posters write that "this is a great city for single men." What they are trying to tell you is that the women here, many of them quite attractive, are aggressively available. I doubt that it's a coincidence that in Europe's poorest country, any man who comes here single leaves married. I've become friends with quite a few Moldovan women, and I can tell you that they have no qualms about going for a better life, no matter who that life is attached to. - Aug 2011
Given the truly suspect situation with the school (QSI), I would caution families about moving here. I believe it is a fairly nice place for single and couples. Spring, Summer, and Fall are lovely seasons. Chisinau is exceedingly easy to navigate and I've heard that there are a number of good clubs. - May 2010
The people with families and couple seem to enjoy their time here. The men who are single REALLY enjoy their time here and try to extend at post. Single women don’t appear to have the same level of enjoyment. - Mar 2010
