Single Young Women from Russia: What is so attractive About Them?

Profile

Present-day young women living in Russia can be characterized as a wild blend of contradictory features. They can be sentimental and practical, ingenuous and cautious, modest and tempting at the same time. This amazing mixture of features draws the attention of men from all over the world to hot Russian brides.

Indeed, modern Russian girls do not necessarily share the traditional views on gender roles in the family. They usually get good education and can be very selective in the choice of professional paths being smart and ambitious.

Many young ladies in Russia are well aware of their attractiveness and use it skillfully to dazzle men and break their hearts. They dress stylishly and behave boldly. Perfumes, jewelry, shoes, coats, purses, make up – every tool is used by single young Russian women to charm the representatives of the opposite sex. What might be the main purpose of this approach? – Usually, finding a compatible partner and marrying him.

Many single young women keep on living together with their parents even after graduating from colleges and universities. Traditionally, parents tend to control the lives of their daughters when they are of age and older. It makes these single Russian girls want to get married as soon as possible expecting that marriage will give them freedom from the controlling parents. Once they are 21, they start realizing that urge that makes them want to have a husband, who would provide for their new family and with whom they would feel in control of their own lives. They also know that the older they get, the less chances they would have to find decent husbands in Russia.

That is also one of the major reasons why so many single Russian girls get registered with the numerous online matchmaking services that promise to find western husbands for them.

Take these considerations into account while looking for your potential Russian wife and analyzing her motives of getting married to you.

Your First Meeting with a Russian Woman

Profile

It is very important to get prepared to your first meeting with your lady. First of all, find out as much as you can about her preferences. Take care about the first impression you will make on her, and get dressed appropriately and neatly before the meeting. It will be great if you buy nice flowers for her, except for yellow roses which are considered bad luck.

If you do care for her, your behaviour should demonstrate it. Give her time to get accustomed to you, especially if she has never met a foreigner before. Treat her and other people with respect. Do not try to find out if she wants to marry you when you meet her for the first time.

Even if you hire an interpreter, avoid relying on him or her all the time. Do your best to establish effective communication with your lady without the interpreter’s assistance.

If she wants you to meet with her family, it is a chance for you to get to know your fiancé much better. Paying a visit to her family will show your respect for the Russian culture and prove the seriousness of your intentions. Again, think about the first impression you will make on her parents and other relatives. Dress appropriately. If you are offered alcohol, it is better to accept and drink just a little. The same concerns the food prepared by the mother. Usually Russians are very hospitable hosts, so when they invite you to their homes, a real feast is coming.

Which Russian Marriage Agencies You Can Trust

Profile

An approximate sum of money paid by a foreign man to a Russian marriage agency varies from $8,000 to $15,000. When you look for Russian marriage agencies online, the search engine will provide you with at least 300,000 options. It is truly problematic to find the right agency among them, so you should know the signs of a decent marriage agency which you can trust.

· Many reputable Russian marriage agencies get registered with the Association of Russian marriage Agencies (ARMA), which follows a strict code of conduct to protect the clients from any exploitation.

· A reputable agency provides all its contact details. It is officially registered at certain physical and postal addresses, and has a valid email address. It also has working telephone and fax numbers available for its clients, partners and law-enforcement.

· Pricelists of the services are always available for the customers.

· Good agencies would treat all customers, female and male, with respect and dignity. If women are exploited in commercial purposes by an agency, so will be the men. For example, it is better to avoid an agency that makes women believe that they will get much money and lead luxurious lives if they choose its services. In addition, a reliable marriage agency will never assure foreign men that Russian ladies are easy to marry. Agencies creating different expectations for men and women are not to be trusted.

· Usually a respected agency works in partnership with leading western businesses.

· Most probably, a reputable agency will accept your credit cards, or provide you with equally safe alternatives of paying for the services.

· Reputable agencies are not related to human trafficking, which is luring and forcing women into prostitution with the purpose of sexual exploitation. These agencies support Anti-Trafficking-Movement (ATM) and protect their female clients from traffickers.

· Respectable agencies will not put Russian women down by referring to them as Mail order brides.

· Do not believe agencies’ statements about arranging thousands of marriages in the USA each year, because USCIS issues only about 3,000 visas for Russian brides annually.

In conclusion, an excellent marriage agency would provide professional consulting and services to its clients at any stage and at all times. Do not justify someone’s being unprofessional. A marriage agency that claims to be professional should provide you with superior customer services.

Travelling To Russia in winter

Profile

If you are going to Russia in winter to meet in person with you beautiful Russian bride, think about what you are going to wear. Russian winters can be really cold, so get prepared to the severe change of climate before you arrive to Russia. If you are from Alaska, it will be easy for you to adapt to Russian frosts if you take the things that you usually wear in winter with you. But if you are from California or another state where hot and mild weather prevails, do buy the warmest clothes available at the local supermarkets.

You will need a very warm winter jacket or a heavy winter coat, a shirt and a wool sweater, the warmest fur-lined shoes available, winter gloves, fleece-lined jeans or trousers, a wool scarf, a wool winter hat and warm socks.

When in Russia, take care of your feet and hands so that they stayed dry. It will prevent you from freezing and catching a cold. It will also work out best if you wear your clothes in layers. Remember though that a layering system is uncomfortable when you are going to a restaurant or another warm place where you can get by taxi.

The last piece of advice: Russian men prefer wearing clothes of reserved colors, so if you do not want to look like a tourist, use such colors as dark blue, brown or black.

Learn Russian Women Better

Profile

There are many western men who want to get acquainted with beautiful Russian ladies and find the best one whom they would marry in the future. So how can a man start writing to a Russian woman and interest her in his candidature?

First, learn as much as you can about the Russian culture. Pay attention to the cultural differences, especially to the things that are considered appropriate or inappropriate. For example, when you write your introductory letter to a nice Russian lady, it is better to use such greetings as Hello or Hi with her name. The word “dear” is equal to the word “honey” or “darling” in Russian and most likely would sound inappropriate for the first several letters.

If you want to pay a compliment to her beauty, make sure that you show genuine interest in her personality as well. Russian ladies are very intelligent and independent, and know the price of things perfectly well. For many of them, natural beauty is an inherent possession. It will be wiser if you give credit for their remarkable achievements, such as successes in studies or career development. Talks about how beautiful they are will make them think that all that you want from them is to make one of your possessions.

Remember that Russian women registering with the Internet matchmaking services look for compatible partners and potential husbands. If they see that you are not being honest, trustworthy, responsible and well-balanced, they will quit answering your letters.

Commitment in Marriage

Profile

During the last decades, married couples in the western world settled their priorities in such a way that the needs of their families and kids were put behind the personal needs of both of the spouses. These are the consequences of the individualistic approach when self-indulgence becomes more valuable for a marriage partner than his or her family and children. This is also one of the main reasons why nuclear families have drastically decreased in number for the last several years.

Couples where individualism is of primary value lack commitment. Russian ladies want to marry western men because they have encountered serious problems with commitment on the part of Russian men.

Americans are looking for Russian wives because Russian women have strong family values. But many American guys just expect their foreign wives to share these values and unfortunately forget about commitment on their own part. If your intentions to create a happy and strong family with a nice Russian lady are serious, you should explore every avenue in developing and strengthening your relationship. Remember that an international couple has to invest much more into its union than an ordinary couple due to the different cultural backgrounds of both spouses. The key word that will make your marriage work is commitment.

Common Mistakes to Be Avoided While Communicating With Your Russian Bride

Profile

Courting a Russian lady is a challenging process. It is impossible not to make mistakes, because both of you belong to different cultures and have your own backgrounds and experiences. But there are some common mistakes that you should avoid.

Not Being Serious. Usually your lady would give you four to six months to decide whether you are going to meet her in person or not. If you do not come to her country in a few months afterwards, your lady might decide that you are not serious and start communicating with somebody else. Usually it takes about eight to ten months for her to maintain online communication with you before giving up. Why is it necessary for you go to her country? Because she would never obtain her fiancé visa before two of you meet in person at least once and document it. In addition, it is important to ensure that two of you like and suite each other. You should be ready to invest your emotional, financial and physical resources to make this happen.

Being Inconsistent. If you do not maintain regular correspondence with her, or are prone to changing your mind about the decisions that had been made about visiting her, etc., she is likely to stop wasting her time on you. Women registering with the matchmaking services are that serious and expect something different from their potential husbands. They have to make sure you are responsible, consistent and see your relationship as equal partnership. They deserve respect and love.

Failing to Grab Her Attention in Your Introduction Letter. Be sure that your intentions are clearly stated in your introduction letter. Russian ladies are looking for potential husbands, not just pen friends. Provide your photos. If a woman you like does not respond to you, ask her again. She might change her mind. Maybe she could not understand what you had written, so it would be great to request the translation of your letters. She would be pleased to understand the whole message, and might want to write you back.

What does marrying a Foreigner Mean to Russian Women?

Profile

The majority of Russian ladies coming to the United States as brides and wives are intelligent women with good careers left behind in Russia. When they marry an American, they have to leave all what they had known in their home country: their relatives, acquaintances and cultural roots for the sake of the newly created union of two people.

The woman’s decision to follow her future husband to his country is very serious indeed. Her fiancé is the only friend she has in that country. She thinks he is the only person she can rely on, although she might not know him very well. It is ok for Russians to be dependable on their environment, by the way, which is just another reason for women’s full trust in their future husbands as their sole providers and protectors.

The greatest fear of a Russian bride moving to another country is that the man she depends on would be gone and she would have to return to Russia and start everything from scratch. Neither would she like to stay in an unknown country without any support.

Marriage is a value to a Russian woman. It is not in her plans to get rid of you once she has got her green card. And if she is unhappy in her marriage, she would not stay with you for the reason of higher living standards in your country. Country has nothing to do with it. Intimate relationship between two of you are of the greatest priority for her. You mean the world for her.

Negative Comments You Are Likely to Hear If You Marry a Russian Woman

Profile

If you are planning to marry a beautiful Russian bride and going to share the news with your acquaintances, most likely you will get their negative feedback. You might hear, “She will use you to get abroad. Once she is married and gets her green card in the States, she will get rid of you.”

For your information, Russian ladies look for potential husbands in many places: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Western Europe, etc. They would rather prefer immigrating to Europe than America, because Europe is not so far from Russia and trips back and forth are more affordable. In addition, Russia has much more in common with European life and culture than with America.

Nevertheless, when a Russian lady wants to find her lifetime partner, the country has nothing to do with it. She will follow the guy wherever he lives.

By the way, Russian women looking for husbands abroad also get negative reactions from their own environment.

What are the roots of the negative reactions? - Usually ignorance and cynicism about anything in the world. A cynical person can make negative comments about major things in life that are valuable for other people. Sometimes they are true and sound funny because nobody is perfect. But that is exactly the reason why so many people are hopeful to find better partners. After all, what is more important to you, your relationship with the woman you love, or worrying about what other people think about you?
