The Pros and Cons of a Russian Bride
Why are western men so obsessed with Russian women?
As the USSR isolated itself from other parts of the world, Russian girls were some kind of mystery for western men. Thus, when the country of failed communism dissolved, a lot of western males started looking for the possibility to meet a Russian bride.
Why were men so interested in hot Russian brides? The answer is very simple – the lack of knowledge. Western men considered those gorgeous Russian females to be some kind of exotic. But with the closer acquaintance with Russian brides, the desire to marry a Russian woman gained more reasons. So, let’s check out why Russian women are so irresistible.
Attitude to men
What makes Russian women drastically different from western women is their attitude to men. Feminism reigns in the West for more than half a century, while it isn’t even close to dominance in Russia. How come? Well, the main reason lies in Russian culture and the patriarchal upbringing. According to the patriarchal upbringing, man is the central figure of a woman’s life. She must respect him and obey him.
In accordance with patriarchal upbringing, woman’s place is home. Man is the main family supplier, while woman does housekeeping, cooking, and bringing up children. Of course, in the Soviet times, much of the concept had been abolished, but DNA of Russian women had already absorbed it. So, she is fine working and she will be fine if you support her, while she devotes herself to the housekeeping chores.
Now it seems less surprising why western men want Russian women for marriage, right?
Self-sacrifice aspect
One of the peculiarities of Russian culture is known as self-sacrifice. This aspect of their tradition required men sacrificing themselves in the name of the tsar, homeland, church, dignity, and whatsoever. In women, however, the self-sacrifice aspect shaped as a complete devotion to her man and her family.
She may be working all day long doing the household chores and cooking, and still find enough resources to help her kid with homework. Moreover, she will be eager to give you comfort after you come from work. Whatever man says, you know. By the way, Russian girls are fantastic lovers and they would like to make love to you no matter how tired they are.
Probably, you are already wondering where to find a Russian bride.
Education
While there was nothing about education of women in Russian traditional culture, the Soviet times created a cult around higher education, which continues nowadays. Did you know that around 85%-90% of Russian school graduates enter universities? It’s a huge percentage, comparing to the 30%-35% in the rest of the world. It is the result of the USSR making education something prestigious.
As a result, it is really hard to find a Russian girl without a university degree. You don’t like girls being stupid? Then opt for dating a Russian girl, she’s most likely to have either a bachelor’s or a master’s degree. Most of the Russian girls are smart and know a lot, so don’t be surprised when your Russian girlfriend tells you something about the history of your country that you have never heard of.
Appearance
Boys will be boys, so there is no surprise that the appearance is one of the main reasons why everybody is obsessed with the idea of dating a Russian woman. Russian girls aren’t just beautiful, they really like taking care of themselves. Comparing them to the western women, Russian girls act like princesses of a kind. Western women prefer having a minimum makeup and wearing a casual outfit when they are going on a date. Russian women prefer fashionable clothes and though they don’t need makeup, they rarely go out without it.
To check Russian females’ love for fashionable clothes, you don’t have to ask her out on a date. Just go to Moscow and look at women on public transport. Most of them will be wearing a good makeup, expensive dresses, and high-heeled shoes. If this is an outfit for her everyday promenades, just imagine what she would wear when going out on a date.
