AM and RW ... are we compatible?

[Eduard]

Doll
Can you define the actual differences in mentality that make you think that?


That should be invaluable to those looking from both sides ? right?

Yes, Doll, I'd like to know too!

[Doll]

Define the difference in mentality of Russians and Americans? I will have to read a book then.
Ed, you actually do know them.

I wager that a card-carrying NRA Republican strict Protstant American would have less compatibility with a Democrat, Unitarian Universalist, anti-war Occupy Wall Street protestor than many AM/RW pairings, but my American friends can correct me if I am wrong

American men, and yes they are blowing their nose in the middle of lunch , burping accidently 

In the USA it's impolite to snuff your nose three hundred times, in the FSU it's worse to blow your
nose in public.

blow your nose in public.

At restaurants, I always turn my head and blow towards those at other tables.

In China, they sometimes use their fingers and blow snot onto the sidewalk; same with goobers from the throat.

The neck turns the head and directs what the eyes are seeing.

Yes, according to the theory they will steer their man into the right direction.

It's not a secret, RW are complex individuals and require  a lot of understanding and patience from AM.

I would appreciate if AM share with me their difficulties with dating, marrying and living with RW.
As well as I will answer all questions that you might have as of how to approach RW and what her phrases/reactions  might mean.
Thank you in advance for your time and participation.
Let the party begin!

[ML]

I haven't encountered any unusual problems in dating or living with FSUW.

Hello everyone! I am doing a research about difficulties and differences  AM facing when in a cross-cultural relationship. It's not a secret, RW are complex individuals and require  a lot of understanding and patience from AM.

"Men have 114 generally accepted theories about women.
Unfortunately they are all wrong"- jb from this forum. 

Nichka, RW are in some ways are less complex. They are usually more blunt.
I never wonder why my Russian wife is angry with me. She tells me exactly
what I did or didn't do. She to my memory has never suffered in silence.
My last American girl friend called me up to give me the silent treatment.
It was the last time we ever communicated (or in this case didn't communicate).
I hung up and moved on.

My Angel Eyes, has never said, "if you loved me you would know". I
never need to wonder.

There are some differences, some culture shock, some missing their friends, language
and culture, etc.

This is mostly a Men from Mars/Women from Venus thing.

I was making a reference to the book. Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

Men in my opinion think quite differently than women.
