so funny... i thought nobody's looking for Russian brides now. But still.. lots of guys want to change their lives into a nightmare! Wow... I agree with vanechka btw, why russian name?) - the sooner you stop it the happier your future is :)
"Oh! Of course! Oh, how rude. Please let me introduce myself. Oh, Merry Men!"
:)
Well... i am a Russian lady (not even pink one), so can't be hurt by a lady. None men prevailed either. :) Just get lots of friends whose business is chatting to foreign men and from those friends of mine i hear often about YOU, who are on this site! so... vanechka is absolutely right! You'll find nothing but problems.
Well... if you truly ARE a Russian lady... then I'm guessing that you are from Moscow, or from a prosperous area. You believe that Russia has (or at least WILL) return return to its former position as a superpower and you RESENT the idea of Mother Russia losing some of its finest to older foreign men. The entire idea of disadvantaged Russian women leaving Russia gives the country a black-eye and makes it sound like a "third-world" place. Foreign men should leave Russian women alone because they will never understand the complexities of the Russian Soul.
Its with kind of nationalistic pride that you feel compelled to disuade us. Is that the idea?
We've had THAT kind on these boards two.
Your objections are noted and your real reason for writing is understood. (And it certainly ain't to protect WESTERN GUYS!)
Well… it started in 1990s like a fairy tale (like “Pretty Woman” movie). It was really hard time for Russia – perestroika and so on. Russian women had then first heard and seen the eastern wealth. Russian poverty was its contrast. Lots of Hollywood movies… Women just wanted to live a tale. That was the main reason for all that boom about American (mostly) romantic men who come to Russia like Captain Grey came once under red sail and collected his girl. All the women desired a PRINCE. The PRINCE, the only one. It’s very romantic but not true. What do you want from Russian-Ukrainian brides? Just a function. To clean a house, to cook, to listen to you and say (always the same) “You are the best, the cleverest, you are my Prince, my King, whatever.” Is that not true? What do Russian women want from you? A house, a car, a yacht, a bank account. How can you make a sincere relation with a woman who doesn’t completely get what you tell her? Few of them can speak English fluently and realize what’s happening around. You want to have a set of functions, she wants to have a “money bag”. That’s all. The romance? What happens to it in a year? It’s just a beautiful tale that won’t ever come true. Grow up! Be realistic!
I am not from Moscow. I’m from Siberia. Siberian women are more beautiful than Moscow ones. :)
Its undeniable that what you describe occured to SOME Russian women. And its true that every Russian woman I have ever met has SEEN and loves "Pretty Woman". Its true that there are delusional men and scammer women - but they are not all like that.
The myth of a perfect, docile, obedient, Russian beauty who will do all and expect nothing is as incorrect as the myth of Captain Grey in a boat with a red sail, or a price on a white horse is. Those of us who are realistic realize that.
It isn't easy to find what we are looking for - but it isn't impossible either.
Personally, I ONLY consider women who speak excellent English. It limits the numbers slightly but it also decreases the chances that I might find myself engaged to someone who I really barely know.
Russian women do have different attitudes, different culture, that a lot of us find appealing. Before you can decide that what Russia has to offer us (western men) you should see what is available in our own countries. Persoanlly, for all the potential drawbacks, I still choose the Russian option.
Of course... I am 41 and married and have never posted my pics anywhere :) I like clever men and my husband is the cleverest one in the world. I think the best way to find a Russian wife is to come to Russia and live here for a year. You'll find out who is who then.
NOW who has the idea that westerners are money bags? Seems the myth continues.
SURE just come to Russia and live there for a year. We're all rich enough not to have to work for that long, no doubt. Of course, we chould probably buy house and cars while over there (naturally). Hire full time interprtors, etc.
