What are the ways to meet with a Russian lady and learn her better? There are several options, and one of them is when you decide on your personal travel to Russia. You will certainly meet many women wherever you go, and practically in any sphere of human activities. While you are living in the country studying the Russian language, the people and their unique culture, you will be able to communicate with many interesting and smart ladies in person. It will be great if you have at least six months to spend in this country and learn the specifics of inter-cultural communication better.
Here is a piece of information that might be useful to you. There is no law about sexual harassment in Russia, although the constitution proclaims equal rights of men and women. The absence of the anti-harassment legislation does not mean that women want to be harassed, of course. But there is a big difference among Russian and Western women’s mentality and perception of the problem in this regard. For example, an attractive Russian lady would never think of suing a man in a court for a direct glance at her, like some western ladies do stating that it is an attempt to sexually harass her. Russian women accept the men’s appreciation of their beauty as something natural and even required; moreover, they do their best to look great in their every-day environment and to be admired by the opposite sex. Women in Russia usually appreciate gentlemanly signs of attention, such as men’s opening the doors in front of them, helping with carrying bags, paying for dinner in a restaurant, etc. So do not be afraid to be gallant and graceful while communicating with Russian women, otherwise your manners will be considered impolite or even rude.
