Hello, again, Everyone...

I was wondering something about the Western men in this forum.....

What are your perceptions of what Russian women like?? What do you find appealing about Russian women???

Does what you read in this forum coincide with your assumptions of what Russian women (and relationships with them) are like?

Feel free to share your thoughts about this...

Well here’s my .02 on Khashyar’s very good question:

I know many men will say that those women are incredibly beautiful. They are!!! But there are very beautiful women all over the world, even in America. Many men will say they are smart and hard working. But I know some gorgeous Korean ladies who fit that description also. And I have been recently wondering what it is about Russian and Eastern European ladies that I find so amazingly irresistible? I am almost drawn to them like moth to flame, and there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I ever get married again, it will be to a lady from the FSU. Here is what I have experienced with them that hits the nail on the head for me:

The ladies I have had the honor of spending time with just seem to exude a certain strength without being “*****es” or “control freaks”. I don’t know if it is because their life has generally been harder than the average American lady. Maybe it is because they have been taught to be strong from their parents. Whatever the reason, it is very sexy, and extremely desirable for me.

They also seem to have a philosophy about family that closely matches mine. It doesn’t mean that there aren’t great American mothers. But my experience with them, watching the way they interact with their children, makes me want to grab one of those beauties and start a family. And that sexy accent still gives me a woody.

They laugh hard, cry hard, sing hard, play hard, fight hard, love hard, and really capitalize on every opportunity to grab life by the balls. It gives them an enthusiastic passion that is contagious. Most of them are very intellectual, have a great wit, and are very sensual and sexy.

The downsides to the ladies I have met are just as pronounced:

They are not very generous with people outside of their families. I am very generous and give money to every street beggar I come across. And every Russian lady I was ever with, even in Costa Rica chided me. Why not? I have money, and they need money. It’s small change, but tells a lot about their relationship with money.

And the one that depresses me most: they don’t seem to be very spiritual. My spirituality is extremely important to me. They don’t need to have the same belief system as me, but they do have to be open to spiritual things. ALL THE ONES I HAVE MET don’t attend church, pray, read any kind of spiritual books, and have no desire to start. That’s a deal breaker with me. I believe that a man should be the spiritual head of the household. And his soul mate should share the same spiritual values.

All in all…they’re still the sexiest women on the planet!

It was interesting to read your post, Steve....

I also noticed that Russian women are not that interested in spirituality.... (I think that I am going to begin a new thread about that topic

(spirituality is also important to me)...

I think that Russian women are generally tougher and more hard working than Western women (in general) because they need to work harder in their Russian economical environment... For example, Lena WANTS to get a job, as well as work on our website, etc... It is almost as if she was raised to want or expect to work hard... (she also has been raised to want to take care of the house as well as cook, although we have spoken about both of us cooking meals once she starts working

I am sure that there are Russian women who do not want to work hard and who indulge in the "luxury" of their new life after moving to the West.... But I just know many hard-working Russian women...

American women (those who live in metropolitan cities, anyway) are also generally hard-working, because you need to be in the American culture that stresses acheivement and accomplishment.

But, I think a difference between Russian and Western women is that Westerners in general (men and women) expect more material and physical comfort, while Russians in general are not generally used to material comfort and do not expect it.

I just wanted to say that Russian women from small towns like Yoshkar-ola are bound to be different from Russian women in big cities like Moscow.

I think you are right, Emet...

A Russian women friend in Moscow told me once that any city under 1 million people in Russia is a "village."

But, I grew up in a small college town in Ohio myself (with 14,000 residents and 18,000 students), and I like the friendliness of small town people.

One of the things that appealed to me about Lena was that she was from a small city in Belarus (less than 450,000 people)...

I think that people from small towns are just in the habit of being friendly to one another. I imagine that people from small towns in Russia are more used to dealing with the same people and developng close relationships.

Of course, people from larger Russian cities have more exposure to the West and more culture, but they also have busier lives.

In my opinion, people from small towns can far less afford to treat one another dishonestly, because you are so much more dependant on the people around you in a small town and can't afford to be ostracized from your friends and neighbors in a small community.

But, I now live in one of the largest cities in the world (Los Angeles), but I try to retain the way that I treat people which I learned from growing up in a small midwestern town.
