What are Slavic woman's idea of handsome? What about desirable?

[YoungBuck]

I'm presently talking to a very pretty girl from Russia, and I am sending her a photo in each email. I have sent her one of myself in a suit, in business casual incognito (didnt see the camera but I looked good), my city, and one of my hobbies. I am always trying to present myself in the best light, and put my best foot forward.
What are naturally alluring poses for you? Do you like guys with tans, short or medium hair, relaxed or serious, studio or natural photos, etc.

Thanks for your help.

I'd like to point out the wrong bias in your approach. While having Brad Pitt's look definitely a plus the break dealer will be your personality which is much more important for FSUW. I would advise to concentrate on demonstrating your inner qualities, I doubt your shiny smile will lure a FSUW if not accompanied by shiny temper.

[YoungBuck]

Personality is first. That's understood. Yet, attraction can be physical. I'm guessing I'm approaching this as if she were an AW. Either way, what is considered attractive in Russia?

You mentioned Brad Pitt (for US). What about Russia?

Okay men,

Read this guy.  He knows what he is doing!!

You all may laugh and say, don't worry about this.  But if a man dresses nicely and can present himself well, he will get in doors where others will not.

How many of you were impressed by a picture?  While a woman will not obsess over a picture like a man will, the woman will still be impressed with getting pictures in many different settings - where she can see herself there, by his side.

A woman has greater dreams than a man has.  He has to deal with the reality of getting from here to there. She wonders what her life would be like if she lived with this - or any other - man.

One of my best presentations of myself that I ever did happened after I took a trip to Armani Exchange.  While I realize that this is for younger people than I am, it gave me a different look that was very attractive to women. 

How much will it take to get up every morning for three months at 7:00 and do 45 minutes of P90X?  Get in shape.  If it wins you the woman of your dreams?  Why not?

If you have sharp clothes, a cut bod and a winning smile, you will get in the door with any woman you want to.  Then she will be OPEN to falling for your personality.

I saw FSUW suggested American star actors as their male ideals. I don't think FSUW have any different conception of masculine beauty

How about you post a couple of your photos, and we will tell you if FSUW will generally find you attractive?

Hello again YB..
I've never heard the question put quite that way...
What are [a] Slavic woman's idea of handsome?   
Like they would be any different?

Not sure whether our idea of a good looking man would be that different from that of an American or Western European woman.
 
On a general note, I'd say that a woman looks for signs of good genes in a man's appearance. This is without a regard whether she wants to reproduce with the man or not.
 
Also, it does not quite correlate with the man's age. My take would be that a man in his 50x or 60x who illustrate great genes would be more attractive than a 20-30x man of less than good genes. Yes genes are hard to fake, but in a number of cases the appearance still can be improved to the man's advantage.
 
This is only about the appearance, not his internal qualities.

Young Buck,
 
Focus on your style and lighten up on your mascara.    And keep in mind that every woman is different.
 
Based on knowing two RW very well and a few more fairly well, I believe that in comparison with AW a RW seems more into virility than pretty.   
 
The concept of a "strong man" is important (a strong man knows what to do and does it).   There are plenty of AW who are attracted to bad boys, so it is not exclusive to RW.   RW certainly look at pretty boys with interest, but the question rises of whether they are Blue Men.   
 
Many RM are tall and lanky (skinny) the same as many of the RW.  Tall skinny RM are not particularly desirable.  When describing past boy friends some RW have held up their index finger and drew a straight line downwards, and then laughed.
 
For sure RW like Brad Pitt, yet many seem just as attracted to Robert De Niro.  In fact I have taken two RW to Italy, and both remarked that the Italian men are good looking.  It is more than facial features, but confidence and clothing.   
 
Here are samples of RM with enough charisma to be a film actor.

A mighty positive blow for the seniors.       Now all I have to do is correct my genes.
 
Many a AW was still fascinated by Paul Newman in his 80s.  There are plenty of older women who still look fabulous without surgery.

Also interesting to note that many FSUW ask about how old are your parents, how old were your grandparents when they died, etc.   Apparently the genes they are intersted in are not only cosmetic, but longevity as well.

No offense, but that sounds a little "eugenic".  What are "good genes"? 







He has great genes.  Anyone who's heard him speak also knows he is not the sharpest blade in the drawer.   Obviously, his wife loves him and is happy.  Would I be happy with such a man?  No.



Here's a singer I think oozes sex appeal, and it isn't his looks, I am very attracted to his political activism, and have been since the late 1980's -







But he has a genetic tendency to imbibe too much (not evident in his appearance).



I think, YB, that your question is almost meaningless.  What is desirable to one person is not to another, and what one person finds physically attractive another does not. 


Looks fade with time.  Yes, even men's looks, notwithstanding the fact men don't want to believe it.  Find someone who interests you at a spiritual and intellectual level, and for whom you are also interesting, and the rest will take care of itself.

[jone]

So what is the magic threshold?

My belief is that everyone has a threshold of beauty/charisma/height/weight/intelligence whatever.  Once you have passed that threshold of desirability, then your personality comes into play.  If you are under that threshold, you are dead meat.

Each person is different.  I remember when I was first dating, I could not make an impression on some women.  They just offed me without a second thought.   Then other women, who I considered even more desirable were all over me.   You will never be able to make everyone's list.  So don't try. 

If you are yourself, but your best self, you will appeal to the greatest number of people that might be interested in characteristics that you display.  But don't be upset because someone doesn't look at you because you are too old or too young or two fat or two thin or too blond or you have a wart right in the middle of your forehead.

Everyone on this forum has an opinion as to what type of man/women they would want.  And they are all different.

Look your best and put your best foot forward.

I know this is hard to explain in words. Women perceive it on their instictive level.
 
My take would be that good genes would be the inborn qualities of high level of energy, of strong immune system, high level of intellect, etc. This is not only the physical strenght, but a proportional body and physical activeness definitely belong to that.

That depends on what features of you are really good and winning and so worth to be presented. We don't know you YoungBuck!
Hope that you take the ideas on the Doll's link with a healthy grain of salt.

I sent ladies a photo in nearly every email. I think most ladies are happy to see various points of your life in different situations. Don't try to look too good. When you meet a lady, she may be disappointed in your looks. All ladies I've dated said I look the same or better than my photos. That's a good thing.


If you can get a lady's phone number, you've progressed to the next step and you don't need to impress her with photos anymore. Can't rely on fancy clothes, poses and photos anymore to keep things going. If you're as dumb as a box of rocks and got a personality that's as bright as the inside of a coffin on a moonless night, you wouldn't be able to keep a woman's attention for more than a few minutes no matter how good you look.

We all know the average male life expectancy is very low in many parts of the FSU - below 60 in Russia for instance the last time I checked - so this has more to do with your age (which exceeded that some time ago) and, probably, their real interest in you. Also, given your obvious "Americanesque" physique, one can only wonder if your love interest(s) are interested in you living long or just long enough.

Ade,

Sometimes you can outdo even yourself. 

Since when is a man age challenged at the age of 30, the age of the Op?  Or are you just attempting to take a shot at Calmissile and ignore the Op's thread?  All of those nights up with the baby have muddled your brain a bit.  But that does happen with new daddies.

I was answering Doug's comment about RW being interested in longevity. Usually, this would not be a topic of conversation between prospective couples of reasonably close ages - my wife never asked me these questions for instance - but, when a man of Doug's age, late 60's btw, is showing interest in a woman 30 years his junior, then you can draw all kinds of conclusions from that. As has been said many times over, the average woman, no matter where she's at, will not find an aging flabby arse attractive but perhaps she will be attracted to his relatively imminent demise if he's going on geriatric. It is certainly something older MOB hunting men should be aware of. 


Oh, and if you found my post to be a little offensive, you should have read the one that was far more to the point but got MOD-deleted. lol

agree with billy.

i sent photos often, and usually photos of me doing something (not posing).  natural photos, that is.  mix it up.  sure she's going to want to see how you look in a suit, but it's better to be shown in a suit at work than in a portrait that looks like you wear a suit once every 10 years.  but keep in mind she'll also be interested to see you chopping wood or mowing the lawn.

such will show that you are self-confident and don't have insecurity issues about your looks.

that's much more important than whether your hair is parted just right.

hope this helps!
good luck!
