INTERRACIAL DATING
Dating Russian Women: Are They Worth It?
We’re all familiar with the James Bond movies, right? He’s a British secret agent working for a secret organization under the codename 007. His mission is to save the world from enemy spies and terrorists. Don’t forget he also saves damsels in distress.
And speaking of damsels, they’re usually of the stunningly beautiful sort. From the elegant Sylvia Trench, the wildly flirtatious Kitty Galore (you know what I mean), to the iceberg queen Tatiana Romanova, and many more. All the Bond girls that show up on screen manage to arouse a spark of interest for audiences worldwide.
Each one is different. Some have unique backstories. Some are spies. Some are allies. But one thing is certain, these women are all top-tier beauties from around the world.
Especially Russian women.
Back then when the Russian KGB still existed, western movies portrayed these beautiful Russian women as enemy spies with their own hidden agendas. You never know what they might do next. Kill you or be your ally. It’s exciting to even think about it.
You might have even fondly imagined yourself as James Bond. Saving the world and having a gorgeous Russian woman in your arms. It was the typical young male fantasy back when the movies first came out.
Although the Russian KGB has already disbanded and 2 decades have already passed, a strong interest in Russian women still remains today.
And who can blame them?
Majority of Russian women are smart, independent, amazingly gorgeous, and not to mention have strong beliefs in traditional family values.
It’s the entire package.
But you might be wondering, “Is there something else I’m not seeing?”
If it’s too good to be true, it probably is right?
There are definitely pros and cons to dating a Russian woman. Here they are:
Pro: They’re extremely beautiful
No one can deny the outstanding beauty of many Russian women. They possess soft feminine facial features characteristic of East Slavic women. On average, they are also taller and more slender than their American counterparts.
Many men consider their beauty to be world-class. Additionally, their dedication to always appear beautiful, and wearing nice clothes will constantly make a good impression on any man who dates her.
Likewise, you also need to step up your dressing game if you want to stand side by side with a Russian beauty.
Con: They can be old-fashioned
In Russia, it’s normal for men to pay for basic common things. He is the breadwinner of the family and holds the mantle of being a protector to his woman. And for the women, they’re usually responsible for the house chores and kids.
In western culture, it’s a bit different. Everything is shared 50–50. The western woman will gladly offer to split the bill on the first date. A lot of Russian women would be insulted by the suggestion.
If you plan to go on a date with a Russian woman, be ready to pay for:
- Vacation trips
- Dinner dates
- Flight tickets
- All other expenses when you’re together
You might immediately think, “isn’t she just a gold digger?”
You have to understand that Russian culture is vastly different from North America. In some ways, their society is a bit slow compared to their American counterparts. In their culture, it’s seen as chivalry to pay for the woman’s share of the expenses.
It doesn’t mean Russian women won’t sometimes pay for their share. They definitely can. But it’s just uncommon.
So if you really want to try dating a Russian lady, then be ready to open your wallet.
Pro: They date with the intention to marry
At some point in their lives, some women think about starting their own families. They might be getting old. They want to settle down. Maybe have a kid or two. Have a stable life. But with the current economy, it’s tough to settle for a stable life. Especially when there are bills to pay and student debts to clear off.
For many Russian women, the intention to marry is already a prerequisite when they’re dating someone. Unfortunately, there’s a stereotype that Russian women see foreign men as a means to escape their economic situations. That’s not completely true.
There are sincere and authentic Russian women who want a real marriage. The kind where they build a family, have some kids, and eventually grow old with their American husbands.
Con: The language barrier
Although there are some Russian women who know how to speak English, a majority of Russian women don’t. This is because English isn’t a compulsory language in Russia, nor practiced frequently in the household.
But this doesn’t stop many men from pursuing Russian ladies. Some couples ask for the help of a professional translator to help them communicate with each other. Some use Google translate.
But aside from that, there is also non-verbal communication. They use their expressions, use physical contact or stay close to a person as a way to express their affection.
You can go slow if your Russian lady isn’t fluent in English. Bonding over language can be a rewarding experience. Not only are you able to learn a new language, you’ll also be able to learn more about her and her lifestyle in Russia.
Are they worth it?
Yes, they’re worth it. You’ll agree that many Russian women are the most beautiful ladies you will ever encounter on God’s green earth.
Another thing is, they’re excellent specimens of feminine charm and grace. More importantly, their affections, thoughtfulness, and devotion might draw you deeper into love than you realized.
Besides, they certainly aren’t working for the Russian government as a secret spy. Those days are all over and now, it’s just used as fiction or in movies. You don’t need to worry about being in any physical danger.
Although they do come with their own set of cultural differences, it can be a matter of patience, open communication, and teamwork to make the relationship a success.
Together, you can overcome your hurdles one by one and the rewards will be satisfying.
So to those who want to get a Russian girlfriend or wife, I wish you success in your future endeavors!
