Access to the Internet and opening of the Russian borders to foreigners
Due to the political changes in Russia, Russian women have the opportunity to leave the limits of Russia. Also, it has become very simple for the foreign man to come to the country on a tourist visa. The access to the Internet, in turn, has helped the women to receive much more information on life abroad and through sites of conjugal agencies to get acquainted with European and American men. For the first time women could compare Russian and foreign men, their moral and family values. So, many women have made a conclusion that most foreign men are not so strongly dependent upon women; they are more independent and can appreciate female beauty and attention. For modern western men, women are not simple slaves or maids, but a friend, partner and companion. Independence and family values of western men, their attitude toward their wives, and the economic stability of western countries, attracts the Russian women. In the conclusion, the Russian women are unique essences. They put family above all else. They are always ready to give up the most brilliant career to be with the husband and children. If you will give her a little attention, love and care; if you will show her that you appreciate her as the wife and mother at home; will admire her beauty and mind, she will be there for you until the end of time. This grateful woman will make you 100 times happier, if you treat her with diligence and love.
We can sit here and say, That Russian men are week and unreliable, cannot care for themselves. So the woman look for men who can. We can blaim it on many things. But when It comes right down to it. " For modern western men, women are not simple slaves or maids, but a friend, partner and companion. Independence and family values of western men, their attitude toward their wives, and the economic stability of western countries, attracts the Russian women"
This is just an observation. I could be way off base. However, through my research and my experiance, this is why..
I welcome your interaction thoughts and comments..
Hi I'm Jase and new to this scene and would like to learn much about it. I've been separated from my wife for four years and my position isn't exactly ideal, but I'm genuinely looking to meet someone outside the UK, basically to enter a serious relationship.
What intrigues me about this whole thing, is these young gorgeous beautiful Russuian/Ukranian seem happy to enter into relationships with older men, I accept I may have this all wrong and I apologise if I cause offence, but some of these men quite frankly are old enough to be there father. Is the situation so bleak in their homeland that they're prepared to make themselves more 'marketable' to escape.
Or could be be the women in the old Soviet block are far more tolerant about age than the UK and other parts of Europe.
I like to hear your view on this and once again I apologise if I'm off the mark here.
Jase, I’m a little offended by some of you thoughts. 1st these are serious relationships and if you’re here just because you think “young gorgeous beautiful Russuian / Ukranian seem happy to enter into relationships with older men”. Then your barking up the wrong tree. These are international, intercultural relationships. With fundamental diversity in beliefs and behaviors, that takes commitment and understanding to overcome. I also take offense to the comment of marketable. The media has a habit of calling international dating a meat market and it is far from that. I may be taking you wrong. However I want to straighten you out from the start. This is a costly way to find a wife but it’s all worth it in the end if you find the right woman. If a young age for an old man is your only criteria. Then please move on. As for why this is so, its more acceptable as the norm in Russia. As for why? I’ll let Olga answer this. I think she is best qualified to answer that. But please while you here. Lets treat these women with dignity and respect. This is not a game or a meat market.
Jase,
I notice you apologised in advance......did you think you were commenting on sensitive matters?? I agree with Codered that it probably is cultural, just as it is in many other countries of the world.....but remember western demographics were not always like they are now.....in many families here in Australia and I am sure in the UK, a couple of generations ago the age differences between spouses was bigger, just as families were bigger. Go back to Henry VIII and look at the age differences for his 6 wives?@!?@?@?....(not that I am suggesting that he was the norm obviously)....modern technology, the "go to college, get a car, get a girl, get a house, don't get left on the shelf" syndrome of late 20th century western world has compacted the age differences of spouses. In the end its a relationship between 2 people and how they feel about each other. As a migration lawyer here in Australia I handle a lot of cases of Australians marrying Filipino wives.....the age differences can sometimes be big, but the emotions between the couples I promise you are very real. On top of that, as Codered suggests, there are media slurs, occasional stigma and the other issues that really test the love of the couple. Just getting through immigration can be one of life's great challenges. So, yes, I think your last sentence is right, but I stand to be corrected by Olga. As for me, the reason that I am here is the very reasoning that you put forward in your letter.....many western women think of dating as a meat market....they think of their "catch", and they often play a highly cynical set of games in the process. Many of the women I have written to here are genuine, sincere and it is a real pleasure to correspond with them.
As for the age difference. I dont know why, but everybody says that in general russian women are more tolerant to age difference or that russian women prefer older men. Its quite personal. This general oppinion was formed just because usually western men are interested in younger ladies.And when ladies come to marriage agencies, the manager usually advise them to state a maximum age difference in their age preferences. Just because they have more chances. In general it is not very common for Russia.I mean, if in marriage agencies we can see lots of marriages with age difference from 10 to 20( sometimes even more), in Russia this age difference is not common. But since appears that western men are more healthy , they look and act much younger then men of the same age in Russia-age difference of 10-15-20 is became a norm for intercultural marriages.
Hi everyone, firstly I would like to say I have the utmost respect for all women, regardless of nationality, culture or creed. My remarks wasn't intended to offend, I was simply trying to get some concensus on this, and I do accept many peoples perception 'of the meat market' is influence by the media.
I personally have read many of the profiles from these women and I agree they really come across as sincere and genuine.
For my part I simply wanted to gauge peoples view and I perhaps my approach was devoid of sensitivity and for that I apologise to anybody I might have offended.
BTW the discussions on the forum are really good....Kind regards Jase
janwas,
Maybe I'm an idealist, but I should hope that the connection is much more than just a better life and that an age tolerance in introduced as a result. All women everywhere want security and stability. I would hate to think that a 20 year age difference is a reluctant acceptance of circumstance. I'm 34, but I look 26. If I should be fortuneate enough to marry a 20 year old woman, I should hope it's because of a love we share and not that I'm her sugar daddy.
most all the girls I have encountered are all about love... because of the economic situation they have a hard time getting the attention they need... men in russia are going through a hard time...and it sometimes bring out the worst in them, I know I have been there... most the girls in Russia do not even know what a sugar Daddy is...your words, and affection are most often more than enough... from both yours - Franks, and Odilon recent post I have read...you will have great luck...
Your posts have been most appreciated and useful. Was there ever a bit of guilt for taking advantage of their misfortune?
Of course, I have been misfortunate as well!
I mean, on the individual level, its another form of immigration. But would Russia have a cultural perception, a 'despair' over those selling out?
Its probably incidental, but at the individual level not so...
This is probably a post more appropriate for how to deal with her adaptation.
