Why do russian woman seek foreign men
« on: March 29, 2011, 01:17:42 PM »
I posted another thread here about a lot of russion woman contacting me from a site that I posted my profile at. I received many letters and if the site is all good and true then it really seems that there are many russian woman desperate to find a foreign man. I find this a little strange. Why is this? (Most of the woman listed on these sites are beautiful)

Some articles I read says that there are much fewer men than woman there. Hard drinking by most men, poor living standards.. Russian woman would prefer a man with a  good bank account so that he can take care of her and their children. There is a culture of many russian men not treating their ladies well. Russain woman are not as femanized as their western counterparts. (this true?)

The reasons seems plausable to me. Would this sum it up?

You are forgetting that many of these girls go by the name Boris, Ivan, and Vladimir.

I will not deny that outside the big cities you will find low living standards as compare to western nations, however, they are not destitute nor desperate to leave. The young girls that were born after the collapse of the former Soyuz and living in big cities MAY tell you, and some may mean it too, that they are desperate to leave. That's because of stories they have heard of streets in the west paved with gold. Same reason western men will look for Russian girls; they are stay-at-home girls that will make home cozy for her husband and they are sick and tired of the drunken Russian men. Not to mention they will marry a man of 99 years of age and call him "honey buns."

Yep, that would sum it up.

You're buying into the "myth". It is a great marketing tool for those like agencies you joined. Women in the FSU are in another country, not on another planet. Yes the pictures are of beautiful women. Some of them may even be real. For the unsuspecting Western man it will cost him a pretty penny to find out. It's the game they play to separate you from your money. Kinda of like the carnival, they have to have some winners now and again so the others will keep playing.

I don't want to break your heart but no, most of those women don't know you, haven't seen your profile and they didn't write the letters. I'll bet you did feel a little special receiving them though, didn't you? A little? It was suppose to make you feel that way so you'd respond at 8-10 bucks a pop. Then one day you'll earn enough credits and they'll allow you to ask for her contact information. Whether or not you get it would be a different story.

All Russian men are not drunkards and wife beaters. The rate of divorce isn't much different than it is in America. The women are not in most cases, desperate to leave. Life in Russia is different but not necessarily bad as compared to a life for them away from it.

Don't buy into the fantasy that they will be falling at your feet for your attention or to marry you. They won't, at least the women worth having won't. Many or most of the "real" women are looking for a relationship that will lead to love and marriage, just like women from around the world over. Your chances of finding a better woman abroad than you can at home change only slightly, in your favor. Be careful, you are not picking out a puppy. Good Luck

Why is this?
Because it's bullsch!t.

Quote
Some articles I read says that there are much fewer men than woman there.
In the over 50's bracket I'd agree but under than is highly doubtful. Furthermore, the birthrate of males was higher than females in Russia last I checked.

Quote
Hard drinking by most men
Certainly some but it isn't universal.

Quote
poor living standards
Again, some but not universal.

Quote

Absolutely correct in my experience but you need to remember some of the young Russian bucks these days have more coin in their pocket than their western counterparts. Don't assume a westerner will automatically have advantage over the locals in the cash department. Often yes but it isn't a given.

Quote
There is a culture of many Russian men not treating their ladies well.
There was a joke at one time among some RW that if their man didn't beat them at least once per day he didn't love her. Certainly as is the case everywhere, there are RM who don't treat their wives well but again, it isn't a "culture" and it isn't universal. BTW, there are plenty of RW who don't treat their husbands well and don't mind getting it on with another guy if that suits.

Quote
Russian woman are not as femanized as their western counterparts.
I'd say the opposite. If you're talking about the feminazis then I'd agree to an extent.

Quote

Yes they do seem plausible to the receptive punter. Unfortunately most of it has an element of truth hidden in a large dollop of bullsch!t. Caveat Emptor......!!!!!!!!!!

mrweaver-

As noted above the agencies you're looking at are pandering to a fantasy,
and building upon it with what seems plausible explainations ;)



Now all those caveats issued:
If you visted the FSU, made a few friends,
you'd likely notice that amongst them, and their circle of friends ,
a high percentage of single, available women.

No not desparate to leave, not "looking" for a foriegn man, and likely not signed up at any agency.They date locally,and there are plenty of men.
They have few problems finding a date.

Yet they are not married, and would be happy to meet a decent man,
with a decent job , and that wished for a family.

Now statistically there is no shortage of RM, and many  are good fathers and family men.
But in my experience most any single RW i know, has at least 5 to 8 single friends also  not attached , and looking for a decent guy,but hasnt found one yet. So I feel there is some dynamic driving that.
 A RM with a decent job there and a family orientation normally has no trouble whatsover finding a woman. Neither would any western man relocating there, if he could be in a field where he could be gainfully employed.

One of the best commandments of the RWD 10 commandments is cut out the middle man as soon as possible.  When you see a business model that is designed to make that difficult you are seeing all the red flags you need to know to move along.

There is no doubt that many of these attractive, intelligent women are real.  More fabulous in person.  The challenge is to get to FSU and meet them in person, make the connection and go from there.

mrweaver, it's a scam. Whenever you have to pay to open every letter from one woman, it's 99% scam. Scam agencies usually do not get punished in FSU, so really it's a couple of guys/girls who make a whole lot of fake profiles and get a lot of money scamming.

OP, take the advice of those here. The site is a scam and I would never pay for anything like that. Have you tried mamba? It is free to sign up and to contact FSUW both home and abroad.

RW in their home towns are not as lonely as the BS articles on the scam sites and they sure aint desperate to leave the big cities where they live, work and screw alot. My suggestion is to sign up to mamba and take it from there. Oh and learn some Russian too while you are at it.

Is this 1995 or 2011 where pretty much everybody has their own notebook computer and have profiles on different social network sites and know how to use skype???

These reasons seem plausible to you?!  :D

Does this seem plausible to you... Per capita income USA $46,360; Per capita income Russia $9,340
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

Anyway FSU women like women everywhere prefer their own.  Sure a handful of women in Russia would be open to meeting and marrying an American, but the vast majority I'm sure want to marry a Russian man and stay put.

Please don't tell me you used to sit up late night watching Conan and believe those ads that said there were horny young girls waiting for you just call our chat line!  I used to wonder how those people stayed in business.

The other question you should be asking yourself is why do American men want to marry FSU women?  I for one don't believe all the BS about them being more traditional, less money motivated, more faithful, blah, blah, blah... fill in your fantasy here.  I've dated women from different countries and some are good and some are bad.  I've liked some of the women from overseas because they seemed to have much more of a world view than American women.  They were better traveled, spoke multiple languages, and could say something intelligent about some place other than Alabama.  They like myself also think a lot of women in America like Sara Palin, Oprah, Paris Hilton, etc are ridiculous and not to be taken seriously.

On my first trip in the late 90's, women were desperate. Today, you may find a few desperate to leave but from my experience and other friends' experiences, they want to leave for the wrong reasons. Ditto for most of the women willing to accept a man 20 years older. Some of these women dream of the rich man, preferably European, to provide them with an above average lifestyle, not to escape the FSU for an "average" life.
   On my travels, most women meet several men, sometimes for months and years, and would prefer finding a local man if possible. Some want a husband but are content at the time to date foreign and local men until they find someone they really like. There were times when I was "Mr. Right now" because there was no "Mr. Right" at the time. There are a lot of average guys who have pursued FSU women for years only to find some of the women are still looking as well. The advantage is that we can meet a lot more attractive women over there and we have more money and status than some of the FSU men.
