The world has always hailed the physical features of Russian women. From corporeal beauty to classical ballet to sports, they are undoubtedly some of the most captivating women on Earth.

That said, one could easily bet that men from every corner of the globe would have yearned for a Russian woman at some point in their lives. But dating these women is not easy. One must consider a simple fact of Russia to understand them better.

Russia now controls about 11% of the world’s total landmass, making it the largest country in the world today. Surprisingly, no nation or any group of people has ever conquered Russia despite its turbulent history of violent invasions and ineffective authoritarian rule over a massive piece of land.

Believe it or not, Russia only ever had to worry about itself for the most part. As one of the most influential Russian historians, Sergey Mikhaylovich Solovyok stated, “The history of Russia is the history of a country that colonizes itself.”

Nonetheless, Russia had developed a tremendously rich culture and is now home to a diverse group of people from different ethnicities, even though it never had to adopt any external influences. The hundreds of years of non-intervention made Russians strictly behave in a somewhat traditional sense, especially in how they view their women in and out of the public.

Dating opportunities

Russian society has never regarded their women as weak. In fact, like its unconquered history, Russian women grew up believing that foreign men could never conquer their hearts.

But that is not to say that it is impossible. Unconquerable does not necessarily mean undefeated — one can still win the heart of a Russian woman.

As it happens, Russian women give foreign men a chance (a lot of it, actually) even if they think they are unconquerable. However, relying on their forgiving nature alone does not mean the odds are leaning in your favor.

A proper man must understand and adapt to the long-established mindset of the ideal Russian woman.

Feminine qualities

One fascinating thing about Russian women is that they succumb to endearing gestures despite their typically strong personalities. Although they never ask for impractical gifts, they greatly appreciate a bouquet of red roses or a box of chocolates every once in a while.

Russian women believe they can do all things that men can do, yet they would still expect men to give up their seats or hold doors open for them, even if they are complete strangers.

Quite simply, they think that men should be on their best, most polite behavior when in the presence of Russian women.

As is usually seen on social media platforms, Russian women are highly fashionable individuals, generally wearing elegant dresses and high heels, even in the winter.

They give so much importance to fashion that they expect men to look sharp and well-groomed as well.

Love and relationships

Most Russian women would choose love and romance above all, even at the expense of their work.

Once someone has conquered a Russian lady’s heart, she will have no problem devoting her life to her partner, regardless of whether she seeks to have and care for their children or merely to support the dreams of her significant other. Her love is unconditional, so it’s only right that she expects her man to fulfill his role as a loving partner as well.

At first glance, it’s impossible not to feel any intimidation from Russian women. It may be safe to say that they are bound to take someone’s breath away.

Even so, when a man takes the time to learn the depth of the mentalities of Russian women, he can take their breath away as well, conquering one’s heart one way or another.
