If you have decided to chance your luck with Russian women, congratulations, they are worth the extra effort involved. Equally it might be helpful to you to understand a little where these ladies are coming from. They are a little different ( I explain below how and why) and being aware of, or better still understanding these differences can save much misunderstanding. There are many truly gorgeous Russian ladies:- Go get yours.....

Russian and Ukrainian women are different and knowing these differences can significantly increase your chances of success. Why are they different and what are the differences? Because these countries were effectively closed to the rest of the world until relatively recently, these ladies have grown up and developed within systems devoid of foreign influences and this is very noticeable and in many ways attractive.

Here are some of the more notable differences. Dating Russian Women.

1. It is fair to say that in general moral and family values are higher here than in many areas of the world. The development of equality for women in these countries seems to have followed a different route, a different path and so many of these ladies are proudly feminine. They share no inhibitions in dressing, grooming and presenting themselves so as to highlight their feminism, sensuality and beauty.

2. Seeking the best education possible is for many the first priority and it is something taken very seriously. The education systems available are very good by any global standard and equally intelligence levels are way above global averages.

3. Having achieved their University diploma, or often during this period, thoughts of marriage and starting both a home and family begin to arise. They have been brought up to believe in a strong, secure and happy family as the basis of their happiness and for this reason will put unusual efforts into making and sustaining a happy and cosy home and relationship.

4. Once she has settled and established herself in her new life, her new culture and lifestyle, she will quite likely want to contribute in every way to her new life, her new family. No, you will find that many would actually prefer to in some way utilise their intelligence and contribute completely within their family unit.

5. In general these ladies are not wealthy, but equally, they are by nature very generous. The willingness to share that which undoubtably has required much effort and time to aquire is very attractive. No it is fair to say that for most aquiring material possessions is not a major part of their agenda. Again this is in general not true. Although equally they will seek a partner that is financially secure. It is fair to say they list priority of values as:- Kindness, honesty and generosity (of heart), a serious and responsible attitude, a sense of humour and a passion for life.

So how can this information help you in finding your Russian soul mate?

1. Congratulate her on her beauty, but do not dwell excessively upon this aspect solely. They know they are beautiful and in general seek a partner that will love them for what they are and who they are, not simply for their beauty.

2. Engage her intellect, exchange ideas, you will quite possibly be surprised that her viewpoint will be very different, valid and refreshingly interesting. As confidence and trust develops, encourage her to reveal her hopes and dreams, discover her values and what she really believes to be important.

3. The fact that you are in the fortunate position to try for a russian bride does by its nature indicate that you are financially secure. Clearly the expenses involved are incomparable to meeting the "girl next door". Reasure her that yes you are in a position to both help her move to your country and even more important help her establish her new life within your country. Remember she will be considering leaving her home, country and friends. She will need to feel very confident of both your love and your ability to help her start a new life in a new country.

4. Would you be happy for her to either continue her career in her new country, or find a new way of using her intelligence in finding a new occupation? Establish from her how she would like her future life to be and then work together with her in achieving these goals.

5. Be sensitive, if you have a huge house, car, or income let her discover it herself naturally. For the majority of these ladies a kind, open and generous heart is way more important than your material status. Remember that whilst these ladies are not wealthy they are very rich in many deeper and very attractive and admirable qualities.

There are many beautiful and smart Russian and Ukrainian ladies genuinely searching for love and a serious relationship and with care, luck, patience and respect you can find your perfect partner

The main reason why Russian women want to marry Western men is because they want to have a family and they have not found a suitable mate in their own country.

Russian women are motivated to get and stay married. However, there is a considerable amount of adjustment that must take place to make the marriage work.

You will have to overcome cultural differences, language problems, and other types of misunderstandings. You will need to be patient.

In addition, usually marriages between Russian women and Western men are marriages between two people who hardly know each other.

There is an old saying: Women marry men hoping they will change, while men marry women hoping they won’t. Usually, they are both disappointed.

This is not a situation unique to Russian women – it seems to be universal to all women. There will be friction. Mainly, because your wife will slowly try to change you. And you, of course, will resist changing.

Russian women usually try to take charge of the house and the family. They see this as their responsibility. This is because most Russian women in fact are the head of the household in Russia.

Many Russian men either were not present in the home or they neglected their family responsibilities in favor of the pursuit of pleasure.

You will be shocked when the demure little sex kitten you met in Kiev starts to show her claws after you are married.

You think she has changed and you don’t like it. You may wonder where that cute little girl that you first met has gone to. Well, that cute little girl is now a wife and she takes her responsibilities as a wife seriously.

She begins to do what she has seen all Russian women doing since she was a little girl – taking care of their families the only way they know how – by taking charge.

And changing you to fit into family life is part of the process. You will not be successful by digging in your heels and refusing to change. This is going to be your greatest challenge. Deciding where to change and when to stand your ground.

Russian Superstitions

By John Kunkle   

Russians are very superstitious people. They will deny this, but it is true. These superstitions affect my life on a daily basis. Most of the time they are harmless and I go along with them to humor my wife. Sometimes I tease her about them.

New superstitions pop up all the time, as new situations arise in our life. I keep telling her that I need a rulebook for them. Perhaps someday I will codify them in a book.

Russians are raised with these superstitions so they have no need to consult a manual.

Here are some of them. It is by no means an exhaustive list:

1) You can’t whistle in the house or car, as they believe that you are whistling away your money.

At a dinner party at our house, a friend of mine started whistling. My wife silenced him immediately. She explained to him, “You can whistle in your own house, but you can’t whistle in mine. In my house, it’s my money you are whistling away.”

When she first came to America, she would see people standing at intersections holding signs. She asked me what they were doing. I told her they were asking for money. She asked me why. I told her that they had done entirely too much whistling in their house for their own good.

2) If you step on your spouse’s shoe by accident, you have to let the other person step on your shoe, or you will have an argument.

I never tested this superstition. It seemed easier to go along with the remedy than pay the price for violating it.

3) If you leave your house, you cannot go back inside for something you have forgotten, or your trip will result in ‘nothing good,’ as my wife says.

4) If you must go back in to get the forgotten item, you can try to mitigate the bad effects of returning by looking into the mirror at your own reflection for a moment before you leave again.

5) Never demonstrate another’s surgery or wound on your own body with your hand or other means as you are likely to visit that upon yourself.

In the few times I have done this, my wife has tried to remedy this by wiping away the spot where I made the imaginary incision with her hand, blowing on her hand to blow it away to the wind, and covering it with the sign of the cross.

6) Never give a Russian woman an even number of flowers. Even numbers are for the dead. Always give odd numbers. When you order a dozen, or two dozen roses, for her, ask them to throw in an extra one for good luck.

7) Never give yellow flowers to a Russian woman. It signifies infidelity and may mean that your relationship will not last.

8) Never give a watch as a gift to a Russian wife marriage. Time is running out on your relationship.

9) Never give knives or handkerchiefs as gifts. I don’t know the reason for this one.

10) Never celebrate a birthday early. You are pushing your luck.

11) Don’t show your newborn baby to strangers until after forty days. They are waiting for their soul to arrive and they may take on another’s soul or energy during that time.

12) It’s best to cut your hair or nails during a full moon.

13) It's considered bad luck to shave or cut your hair when a family member is in danger or bad health.

14) Whenever someone praises you or offers a positive comment, you knock on wood or imaginarily spit three times over your left shoulder so that you are not jinxed by the comment.

15) Do not shake hands or kiss over the threshold of a door. It forms a bridge that allows the devil or evil spirits from the outside to enter the house this way. When I have done this by mistake, my wife usually pushes me back outside or pulls me inside before greeting me with a kiss at the front door.

16) Before anyone takes a long trip, the whole family sits together silently for a few minutes before the traveler leaves.

17) The truly superstitious have been known to eat ‘lucky’ bus tickets, when the sum of the left three numbers equals the sum of the three numbers on the right.

18) Recently, while preparing to give my infant daughter a bath, the little tyke peed on me while I was taking her clothes off. My wife laughed and said that it was good news. It meant that I would live to dance at my daughter’s wedding!

This list is not exhaustive by any means. Superstitions vary by country and locale. There is a popular Russian television show that travels around the country exploring the unique superstitions of each particular town or village.

Many of the superstitions came from folk tales or fairy stories, Russian Orthodox tradition, or had peasant or agricultural roots. Most Russians are only one or two generations from the farm or village.

At any rate, be aware of the superstitions and try to show some respect for them whether or not you believe in them. Your Russian friends will appreciate it.
