The Truth About Russian Women

Info

If you've ever been to Russia, you can probably believe some of the worst stereotypes about Russian blonde women. There are countless jokes in almost every Western nation about Mail Order Brides, too materialistic, overbearing women, and incredibly high divorce rates. Russian culture is often portrayed as a male- dominated society where women are subjected to horrible stereotypes including being abused, laughed at, or even killed by their husband and lovers. These are all completely false and the majority of Russian brides do not end up in marriages with western men. Russian dating sites have begun to change attitudes and change the future of Russian-American culture and interactions.

The first thing most expats think about when they consider dating Russian women is the culture shock. 

This is understandable considering that Russia was one of the last countries to industrialize and has no social support system in place for its women. Many Russian women are single and desperate to find love so it's no wonder that attitudes have become so negative. However, having a foreign woman as a partner is simply a matter of looking out for certain needs that must be met in order to start a new life in a foreign country. 


For example, Russian women want to be treated with respect and feel that they truly are wanted and loved rather than having to tolerate certain predatory behaviors from men who seem to have no problem ignoring or committing abuses against them.

The second thing many men fail to realize is that many Russian women grew up under extremely difficult gender roles. Although the government has taken measures to correct these gender roles in recent years, many women still live in traditional family environments where men are the breadwinners of the house and women are the nurturers and house wives. This gender role model has ingrained itself in Russian culture and it is something that can be changed. Many Russian women have chosen to remain faithful to their husbands and follow traditional family norms rather than making the common choice of finding a husband via free dating app and starting a family.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of dating Russian women is that not only do they possess completely different cultural expectations about marriage and relationships, but there are also a few common stereotypes that they share. Russian culture places a great emphasis on family and this leads men to treat their wives as though they are their daughters. This may sound patronizing, but it is an accurate portrayal of how Russian men feel toward their fellow countrywomen. For instance, many Russian women view marriage as a process of taking care of their children rather than just being chosen by a man because they are eligible for a particular position in the family.

Another of the many cultural differences between Russian women and western women involves language and religion. 

While both cultures place a high importance on religion, the Russian culture puts greater emphasis on speaking and understanding the traditional language of Russian. Some people view this as chauvinistic, but it is actually a part of their desire to preserve the way of life that their ancestors once followed. A number of Russian women are known to only speak Russian when they are around their children or when speaking to a group of people who are not related to them. The same is true of those who live in smaller rural communities where the language is not spoken by most people.

As far as dating Russian women goes, one of the most important things that you can do before dating a Russian woman is to learn her native language.

 Many western women are already comfortable with communicating with the Russian speaking world, but a Russian woman will find it very challenging to communicate with someone who does not speak the same language. Once you have learned some basic words, you should try to spend more time communicating in that language. By doing so, you will be able to overcome any inhibitions that you may have regarding dating a Russian woman.


Of course, you do not need to worry that you will not be accepted into a Russian woman's home if you happen to know little or nothing about her culture and language. 

Even though Russian women are known to be quite traditional, they still want to develop a good relationship with their Western partners. As such, they will always welcome a man who speaks a good amount of Russian in order to expand their cultural differences. Many men who are unable to master the basic vocabulary of Russian women will often end up being rejected by them. It is therefore crucial that you understand cultural differences when it comes to dating Russian women. You will not be able to fully understand her if you apply your common sense in comparing her to your own cultural expectations.

On the other hand, there are also some stereotypes that are based on truth. For example, many women from Russia have exceptional beauty. In fact, many women from Russia and other countries have captivated the hearts of western men due to their beautiful looks. Although the media may have created the false notion that Russian women are unapproachable, there are still many women from Russia who can be found in Russian tv programs and movies. You will just have to search for them using the Russian women dating sites.
