Are RW emotionally cold?

Wait, I know how to sew a button back on!!!! Does that count as sewing 

No. Make a dress first.

The man is always in charge, as long as he does what his wife tells him.

Oh i can make a dress alright, question is, is anyone in their right mind going to wear it

When my wife arrived, one of the first jobs she interviewed for was designing interiors for a company in Manhattan run by a Georgian guy. He made all kinds of grandiose promises to her, but on the morning of her first day he said it was slow and wanted to teach her how to sew (they also made custom rugs and tapestries) so she could "help out" in their sweatshop. She went out for lunch that day and never returned.

There is a saying in Russia: "The man is the head of the family, but the woman is the neck that turns the head."

(The Chinese claim it was theirs originally though)

Even confirmed bachelors don't count that as sewing.  Although pulling thread through the eyes of the needle can be quite the impressive skill!

oziuncs: As per usual, I'll depart the beaten path here and understand, I am not the original encourager as a general rule. I'm not seeing much in your post/s that I didn't see with my now wife whom I am very sure is very much in love with me. Unlike everyone who claims when a RW is in love with you, you'll never doubt, I found another thing, a very 'nother thing. I recall Mrs I/O (Long before becoming Mrs I/O) meeting me in Novosibirsk airport where she almost brushed me off as I exited customs and I was more than a little miffed at the moment but as I stopped outside for a smoke, I noticed her shaking and although it was -4c, that wasn't the reason. We'd been apart for several months at the time. For once, I was smart enough to pretend I didn't notice and turn away for a few seconds giving her time to regain her composure and most importantly, maintain her personal dignity. Honestly, I am not at all surprised by her response in Thailand.

I will add that as our relationship approaches 5 years, twice in that entire time has my wife told me she loves me and both times have been in text, not in voice. Having said that, I'm similar and it doesn't mean the reality is any different or the meaning is any less. Each is different and what may be coming across to you as cold may be quite another thing. Remain committed but vigilant.

I think that I/O and I could be married to twins.  I had long term relationships with several women from the FSU before I met and married my wife.  They are all different.  The woman I married tends to be more to what I/O describes.  My wife and I have been married more than 4 1/2 years now and I have absolutely no doubt that she loves me and that she is extremely committed to our marriage.

Unskilled operators can use a needle threader, several models available :

Firstly, are all Russian women cold?

* only once I can remember that she said that she missed me in 5 months. She would write it on chat on Skype quite frequently after we hung up, but never face to face. I don't have to hear it all the time but to never hear it? Is this cold? or maybe she just doesn't have feelings for me? or is this normal?
Thanks for reading my post
Dazed and Confused…..

In my opinion, she is not in love with you. You did win her heart sufficiently or you wouldn't
even ask the question.

Lastly,

Good lord you left your poor girl alone for 5 months? Get on a plane, seduce her, curl her toes and
win her heart for real and DO NOT ABANDON HER AGAIN!!!! 5 months is way, way, way too long!

I was in Estonia a hundred years or so ago.
I didn't say so directly . . . but the native Estonian woman got the correct impression that I thought she was rather cool.

She said:  If you want a warm woman, you should seek out a Russian woman.

That's been my experience for the most part.

Same here except change from Russian women to FSUW minus native Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian women.

You think baltic women are more like German women?

I don't have a large sample size. I met a couple of each, but not enough to generalize.
In addition, out in public FSUW are more formal than many of their Western Sisters.

If a FSUW isn't warm to you, it's because she isn't romantically interested in you.
A man needs to move on so he can find a girl who is.

I haven't had experience with German women, but possibly true.

I met with 10 or so native Baltic women and never made any romantic progress with them.  I remember one of them said:  I can be very warm and sexy.  I said: when.  She said:  Maybe some day.

Instead I met with RW living in the Baltics.  They were very quickly warm and sexy.

I can say that a nice feature of native Baltic people is they are mostly tall and slender.  I know some here in USA also.
