Author Post nilsas Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/30/2002 11:22:30 AM   So many girls do not smile on their image(s). Is this a cultural difference, russian melancholy, a wish to look serious or is it generally due to a poor dental status. gary496 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/1/2002 9:36:08 PM   I've read in more than one source that some Russians think Americans are silly for smiling so much, like "what's so funny that they're smiling"? Maybe Olga could comment on this. Andrei Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/1/2002 10:53:14 PM   Hello nilsas, I really think that's more cultural think....you know the opinion when Nordic people are considered more gloomy, grim, generally more serious. Have you heard the expression "Nordic character"? Let's take ancient times when technological level was basically the same for all cultures, just compare the general images of natives of Africa with those of Scandinavia. See? Well it seems Americans (former emmigrants mainly from cold regions) are just another group - they have Dale Carnegie! Andrei Ronnie Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/31/2003 11:13:26 PM   Russians have a different perspective to us as regards smiling.If you smile at a stranger she will think you are laughing at her.Russians in general are not people who show their feelings in public(although they will in private). Turboz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/3/2003 3:36:04 PM   That explains a few things... So can someone perhaps explain what the hell strong eye contact from a russian woman means with no smile? - Dislike, like?? Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2003 10:05:07 AM   Well, 'strong eye contact with no smile' from a Russian woman would make me very nervous. Please explain a few things... - where did this happen? - what was her weight approximately? - do you suspect her to use steroids? - in what catagory of weightlifting would she qualify - heavvy, super or ultraweights? As I said, I'd be damn nervous. Not when she'd have smiled though. Or when she would have been a featherweight. I'd invite her for a drink, chat some nonsense and in general would have tried to have a great time. In fact exactly the same as with any woman, being from Mars or Timbuktu. Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2003 10:33:25 AM   Nils, your opening line refers. Your last line also by the way. As a bottom line it would appear you suspect Russia to have insufficient dentists or that the majority of women there are too scared to visit them (because it cannot be the cost, healthcare is relatively cheap). But let me enlighten you. In fact they do not smile because their lips have grown together because they do not eat, and this in its turn is the reason why they are so thin compared to other women. But also this leads very clearly to them having to look elsewhere for men because male Russia already knows they cannot kiss. But by all means do not believe me, visit www.waltdisney.com for more stories. Before you make yourself an Asnils look at your own passport-photo - U smile there? Really? U like grumpy bearded customs-officers ;-) ? Neither do they, for they don't know who's going to see them, and smiling tends to be a sort of private thing. But meet them and they will! Turboz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/6/2003 1:28:00 PM   LOL Nope she's a lightweight alright. Very fine, V attractive. Just at the time I was a little unsure of what she was thinking - She made eye contact on a lot of occassions and it was very direct and very strong. O yeah in response to the other things: It happened at the place she was working at No I don't suspect steroids Weight is unknown but I'd say she's light - She can't be heavy with the figure she has! Turns out she was just a bit unsure of me for various reasons which I won't explain, but I just wanted to see some other people's opinions. O one other thing, there wasn't a smile but there wasn't a frown either. It was sort of neutral. Olga Smirnova Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/27/2003 7:35:14 PM   Hi! It is absolutely wonderful habit to smile. I like it here because of people smiles. And be sure that Russian woman will begin to smile when she came here. But of cause not as often as American Lady. If you so like American type of behavior why do not you look for American girl? Turboz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/27/2003 8:38:29 PM   Hi Olga I am british - not american!. I wasn't looking for a foreign friend. I've always liked the women that speak my language but I had got bored chasing after the impossible - british women like to play games with men. I accidentally stumbled across a moldovan woman. She was beautiful and I couldn't take my eyes off her for some reason. There was a lot of eye contact but no smile. I suppose I could have smiled at her but then she's a few years older than me and I am a wimp! Olga Smirnova Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/28/2003 2:19:02 PM   You do not imagine how difficult to smile often when you do not have that habit. I was trying at the mirror. It was not a smile. It was a grim. Why do not you like just eye contact? Turboz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/28/2003 9:08:28 PM   Olga, Eye contact to a man can mean 2 things. Let me explain: 1) It can mean the woman is interested. 2) It can mean she isn't interested or doesn't like you for some reason. If there is a smile when she makes eye contact then its encouraging to know she can definately be approached. No smile makes a man hold back because he may be rejected. Simple really.. wtrav02 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/28/2003 10:17:51 PM   Turboz, I disagree. There are other things in the Russian culture that can mean to a man what a smile can mean in western culture. A look in the eyes means more than a silly smile. I personally find it a turn off when a girl goes around like her chicks are glued to her ears. American girls would smile to a man the same way they smile to a cute dog. Eye contact is the key element that allows chemistry between two people to evolve. When eyes speak, there is no need for meaningless smiles unless you crack a joke at her and you make her laugh. I have found that Russian girls have an excellent sense of humor and will understand and laugh at a clever line, but simply won't go out there with their teeth hanging out of their mouths to impress ignorant western men (I don't mean you). Turboz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 9/29/2003 8:59:31 AM   Hmm, interesting theory pal - thanks! Kinda brings a new meaning thought to my situation. Should be meeting her tonight - I am scared stiff because she claims not to remember me (despite the other week she did) and I'm a little concerned how she's going to react to seeing ME. What can I say once she's met me? - Uh oh I've been rumbled! alexferd Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/1/2003 6:21:05 PM   ok turbo. as long as she talk to you everything going to be OK. Turboz Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/1/2003 7:29:34 PM   Yeah we kinda talked but you'd be better off reading my other topic "I met her - The Moldovan" That explains the meeting in better detail. blu_craze Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/8/2004 9:28:40 AM   Its true, an American women will smile even if she doesnt like you, but the smile is meent so when she turns you down it wont be as hard,...in her opinion, shes still being nice and polite and that its not your fault. As a man if a girl told you she not interested and go away!!! or smiles at you and told you that shes not interested but thanks anyway....what senerio would you feel better walking away from? GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/8/2004 11:46:21 AM   Olga, Most of us, I think, would like to have a woman who smiles (at us, at least.) But I think too damn much is made out of this "to smile or not to smile" issue. While looking for a good woman of FSCs we must accept the responsibility of understanding, accepting and respecting the cultural traits of each and every one of the communities we visit....specially those that on the surface may give us a negative impression. When we dig deep enough and find the real source or reasons, it stops being such a big deal most of the times. Doesn't it? I live in southern California, which among other things is the one place in the US, where you can always count on complete strangers exchanging brief greetings and smiles with you simply because you happen to be at the same place at the same moment in time....whether you reach an entry/exit door together, or you bring your groceries to the cash register, or pay your toll fees on the highway or a million other circumstances everyone deals with on a daily basis. Being the fun loving, humor seeking friendly person I strive to be, I enjoy this way of life in my home towns. but I do not expect the same treatment in New York city, for instance....or Moscow, Misk or Kiev, either. crashnsplash Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/8/2004 11:54:39 AM   I lived in the US all my life and grew up in NYC. Now I live in South Florida and I think its hilarious when someone I don't know smiles at me for no reason. I think its an odd trait and personally I don't get it. If I don't know you theres no reason for me to smile at you unless you did something funny. I guess it just peoples way of being nice, but not one I'll ever adopt. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/8/2004 12:02:11 PM   WUZZESSS....all of you if you wait for a woman to give you a toothy smile before you approach her!!!!!!! On the other hand, I'm glad I have such poor competition for the attention and interest of FSC women. Didn't your fathers teach you to read the smile on a woman EYES to understand if she is approachable or not? Didn't your fathers also teach you the universal bare basics of flirtitious body language, either??? AAAWWWWWW....I forgot that most western men in the last three decades have been raised as Momma's boys who get trained to pee sitting down. Did your Mommy tell you that to approach a beautiful woman is 'disrespectful' unless you get an ear to ear wide smile? but then if she does she is slut for doing so? Part of the virility any woman appreciates in a man is his willingness to take a chance at being burnt with rejection. From the male perspective every rejection we have to deal with is a sign that we are closer to someone saying YES. That's all it is. Please men, love them with all your heart but throw out the window everything your single/divorced mothers taught you about man/woman relationships, OK?
