7 Tips on Dating a Russian Woman

[Ivanna]

You know today we can be the witnesses of global phenomenon of international marriages. Today it has become quite popular to get acquainted with a foreign man, build romantic relations with him and get married to him. There are even a great number of sites where you can see not only the photo of your future second half but you have an excellent opportunity to communicate with him or her. But due to some cultural and personal differences, sometimes it becomes difficult to avoid misunderstanding and pitfalls. This article will help you to solve some problems that you may face with during communication with a Russian girl. Hopefully, you�ll find it useful.
1. Is there a real difference between Russian women and women of other nations or is it just a myth?
- Of course there is a difference. And we can�t do anything with it as it is historical development and it influences the typical traits of people. The FSU women really posses some traits that are peculiar only for them � the most significant are that they care very much about how they look and that usually career is less important for them than home and family.
2. If I am a foreigner and wish to get acquainted with a Russian woman - how can I attract her attention?
- At first Slavic women love with their eyes and they will notice you if you look neat and well-attended. They hate dirty shoes and undone hair. They won�t understand if the shoes cost $1000 or $10, but they will certainly notice if they are not polished.
3. What traits can interest such a woman?
- Russian women like when they have a strong shoulder next to them, they get used to trust and rely on their soul mate. So if you are self-confident, serious and brave man you will conquer their hearts. They like when you are brave in presence of other men but tender and kind with her. And of course their hearts are full of romance.
4. Speaking of romance how can a man surprise a Russian woman?
- You see Russian ladies really like romance but unfortunately they get it too little from Russian men but every woman has a romantic fantasy deep in her heart. In most cases it is the romantic dinner with candles, champagne or wine and words of love. And in most cases it�s done by themselves. So, to impress a Russian soul mate is not hard � flowers all of a sudden, housekeeping �day-off� for her or at least a dinner out without any reason, �just because� - you don�t need much to make her happy.
5. What do they like to receive as presents?
- Differing from other woman Russian women don�t need far islands or diamonds, it will be pleasant for her to get a bouquet of roses or even chamomiles on the date of your first meeting, or a modest ring on your engagement. They like surprises and in most cases they value not the real cost of the present but the attention.
6. What are the most typical mistakes in dating Russian woman?
- At first I wish to mention that He is to buy flowers at their first meeting, it is a rule and the girl will be grieved if he doesn�t do it. Of course he shouldn�t forget about these signs of attention further but the first meeting is the half of the thing.
A Russian woman likes when her companion is interesting and humorous, they can�t bear boring men. Russian women aren�t afraid to be humorous and to smile. They like when somebody makes her laugh but won�t forgive you if you make fun of her.
7. What should a foreigner do dating with a Russian woman?
- You will conquer her heart if you make your meeting unforgivable for her. She will fall in love with you if you turn a simple evening in a fairy tale where she can feel like a princess. And again you shouldn�t think that only money will do everything instead of you, she will value you but not your money.

It's nice that Russian women (not sure if it applies to all Europeans) but they are not into big flashy things like most women from the states are..

This is dumb - was this written by a kolkhoznik from Irkutsk? Or a Khokhol from Gorlovka? Whoever wrote it, it must be a woman in at least her 30s. Times have changed and while some of the above holds true, some of it isn't. These "7" tips were more like two: be a strong man and buy flowers. Bad advice, if you ask me. Unless you're going for the mid-30s Russian lady.

Russian women are beautiful, it's no lie. But they are fairly boring. They don't like to talk about anything that's interesting and their mentality will be hard to grasp for most of you Westerners. A fairytale love story is absolutely what they all dream of and true, Russian men will almost never give it, true. But flowers on the first date? Are you kidding me? That's a bit over the top, even for the CIS.

Russian women don't like to have fun sex. Ever seen a Russian porn movie? Hilariously boring. Even in a porn movie, they can't make it seem interesting. Stone cold faces. And I know, my girlfriend is a real Russian. Foreplay? No go. Oral? Good luck. More than 4 positions? No thanks.

If for some reason your goal is to date a russkaya zhenshina (which is dumb, because love can be found anywhere), be strong and tender, be funny, and be prepared to be the adult in the relationship. Russian women are very emotional, especially when it comes to arguing. You can't win in an argument with a Russian woman because they attack the person, not the problem. And as you try to narrow the argument more and more, they'll take it to new heights and places very quickly so that you're not even arguing about the original point anymore. To counter this, learn the phrase "Nu, ko-nyech-no!" It will make you sound like a russian couple when you argue. "Tee vob-shay" is another good one. Sprinkle these in your arguments with Russophones and they'll at least respect your inside knowledge of their language.

I think most women would gush over flowers on a first date and most women don't care a whole lot about money if the man is a good one (many of us make our own ).

One thing that did stand out to me was the "home and family" over "career" portion. My boyfriend's best friend is Russian and his girlfriend (also russian) fits this to a T. She quit her job and moved to the states to be with him. They've only been dating for SIX MONTHS and she has no job (she's on a tourist visa) and basically just keeps house for him while he supports her financially. She has no friends here so she's ALWAYS with him and his friends. I like the girl but we have nothing in common. All she likes to talk about is cooking and cleaning. I'm dead serious. She once talked to me for 15 minutes straight about how much she loved ironing. -_-

I love cooking and am very excited to have babies sometime in the (VERY) distant future. BUT my mother instilled in me the very real fear that someday, when I'm in my mid-forties with a sh*t load of kids my husband might leave me for a younger, hotter (possibly Russian) bitch. Therefore it's my responsibility to get an education, stay in the work force and ensure that I can make a living for myself and my (future) babies should this fear ever come true.

^Your mum was very wise. The worst thing a woman can do, is to become totally dependant on a man because some men can and do prove to be unreliable. I know, I've been there and paid the consequences for being dependant on some shithouse who walked out after ten years and left me financially at rockbottom. I would never again rely on any man.
