It has been my experience that people from Europe are a lot less hung up on gender roles and are a lot more liberal. She may be hesitant.

Russia is a very different place, thousands of years of culture, historical sites, etc., I havent been there yet but would love to go and see the entire country some day. From what I've read about Russian women (generalization), is that if they've grown up in a very large city like Moscow, then they will be more similar to American women than if they are from a small town or rural area. They are used to having everything within easy reach like shopping, clubs and entertainment. There are many sites set up for dating Russian women, for me, the language barrier would be difficult, but if you research the russian people you will find that they are a very interesting people.

Depends on the female. While living overseas in Europe, I met many varities of females, each different. I finally came to the conclusion that they want you for what you can do for them, not what they can do for you, which is selfish, and isnt love at all.

Not long ago, many Eastern Block marriages are fixed, many for financial issues. So keep in mind the word "power". He who has the power, has the ability to influence another. Power often refers to money here in the civilized world.

They're pretty popular and plentiful in the summertime, here where I live. Mostly with older guys though. I never see a younger guy dating a Russian girl.

OP >JMO, European Woman are different from any woman you have ever met. Most are different by way of country to country. I married a woman who was born and raised in south wales, she and most of her female family member's are un-affectionate.
Spanish and Italian woman are very passionate, but possess a very fiery temper. You do not want to anger them, they stay angry for hours until they cool down.

Russian woman I have met and spoken to are mostly unemotional, beautiful and very worldly, but cold. Many american men make the mistake of believing that european woman will be less challenging than American woman. Intimacy is less the difficulty than the emotional bond we all desire. You also have to take into account that because most come from a very modest financial enviroment, they will pursue the best fit.

If you are interested in this woman because she may be eye candy on your arm, take some serious stock as to whether she will be receptive to your emotional need to be close and smile without request.

Yes, they are very different!

My ex wife (notice I use this term) is Russian.

Met her at eecl.org, went to Russia in 2000 to meet her in person after writing her for several months, spent 10 days with her, asked her on Orthodox Christmas to come to the U.S., and went all the way to L.A. to pick her up because I didn't think she could handle a connecting flight to SJC.

We were married for almost 5 years and she left me after she paid off her car in about a year, had some $$ saved up in the bank that she never offered to share to keep us going in lean times, and went to see her parents in Moldova three summers out of four (she once spent 94 days in Russia/Moldova visiting her parents). She always sent her parents $$ before anything else.

I am thankful that I never had children with her because it would be a lifelong connection to her that I would have to endure!!!

I would suggest to break it off immediately, definitely DO NOT get married!javascript:smilie('')

You will probably live to regret it..some unsolicited friendly advice!!javascript:smilie('')

Yes, this is typical !

Russian Women are very formal.

I once took one out to dinner....the waiter brought the check before we finished our meal and she slapped him.

Well, from what I understand, WEST european is a lot different than EAST european.

And the further EAST their origins, the more traditional the attitudes. Different cultures means that sometimes there is different expectations.

OP, I'm sure she's interested in you.

Russian ladies tend to be more traditional than their North American sisters - they expect to be courted by men. So you 'taking the lead' would be the norm for her.

I was involved with a Russian women for over a year. Right off the bat it was obvious that she had no intention to pay for anything at anytime. She was great in bed so initially I treated her as a gold-digger, but soon came to realize that this was a cultural thing and not a character "flaw". Once I wrapped my mind around her customs and expectations our relationship blossomed. She was a very intriguing mix of new world and old world. The roles are very "blue and pink" , I had my responsibilities, and she had hers. Observing her Moscow born friends entrenched that Men were to be men and take charge, make the plans, never show any wishy-washy indecisiveness, pay the bills, and be their rock. In turn, I was treated like a king, albeit in a 50's fashion. Never had to lift a finger in the house, never once was she anything less than a perfect hostess for my friends...no matter how obnoctuous we were, never failed to support me whatever the issue of the day was, and never disappointed in our physical needs. Don't doubt for a moment though that she was a pushover. Strong, fiesty, funny, very moral, very educated, a risk taker, adventurous, loving, religious, hot headed...these all discribe her. I've never been with anybody quite like her before, or since.
Are Russian Woman different? Damn straight they are...but not neccessarily in a bad way. We're not together now but are still friends...

I'd say yes they are.

My dad met and married a Russian 5 yeas ago and she is lovely. They get on so well its amzaing. She's so kind to us girls and will always do anything for us. I'd say go for it.

Don't get me wrong, I was angry with my dad at first becasue I thought she was only with him for his money but when he lost everything, she stuck by him and you can really see she deeply loves him.

Go for it!!!

To those women who ask why date a Russian woman? You will notice that most of these woman are younger than the man. That is the first and most important thing. Have you listened to how the modern American woman in general considers an older man seeking a younger woman? That we like that and do that is nothing new at all. It just chaps the ass off the modern American woman but does that mean we will stop doing what we like? No. Why should we change for a bunch of bratty one generation wonders who think their way is the right way based only on the fact that they think it?

Having lived in Russia for a couple of months, the answer is definitely yes.

What DallasFan is saying was a majority of the women I met when I was in Moscow and Vladivostok.

^^^^Quiet you! You heard what these fine American men said, "You different, stop debating, ......are you ignorant?" These men are American, American get it. They no difference and you are what they say you are!

You cook and clean and you dont complain, and stay home all day! Also, the Australian women are wild, and they dance on tables and curse like sailors.

of course Russian women are different! they're the best women the world has to offer! (this is coming from a patriotic Russian, who is currently being extremely biased).

But seriously, Russian women are always divided into extremes (relatively speaking) from all of my experiences. They're either HOT, or they're not . They're genius, or they can be downright stupid. Like I said, their shades of grey, just go away. Yea, I know I'm a poet.

The advice I want to give you is this, MAN UP if you haven't already! Russia is a harsh country to grow up in - I would know. Everybody matures really quickly. Because of this harshness russian people may not be the nicest of all people, but they're pretty damn tough, and Russian women expect that in a partner. I'm not talking about tattoos here either, what I'm saying is that they don't want a sissy. Sure they'd love it if a guy is "sensitive", but that's like a sweet cherry on top. The difference with some other ladies is this, many women want this toughness, but Russian women expect it. So do all that came from places where life is a struggle. They may not be fond of the toughness, but if a man doesn't have it, they just won't feel as attracted to them.

by the way, by tough I don't mean tough as in clubbing her over the head and dragging her to the cave. With her, be gentle but firm in your decisions, and be firm with yourself. Strong self-dicipline and self-respect are suggested.

For 3 months have been dating a woman who grew up in Russia, a rather good life I'm told. She seems to have a different attitude towards dating. I'm always the one making plans, calling, sending cute text messages, etc. with no reciprocation. Although I really like her and we have a great time together, I'm a little frustrated. She seems interested in me, but I can't tell if the behavior is typical hard-to-get or typical European.


Nope, Russian women are not THAT different.
If she likes you, she'd be contacting you and making plans etc...

How long has she been here in U.S.?
Does she have a job and a car?
Is her English understandable?

If the answer is yes to these questions, then you can assume she's well adjusted and you can expect the same things as from any other woman.

Well since the OP was made 6 months ago and the OP shows has _single_ in his profile looks like he is not 'with her' any longer.

But he never did actually answer if he had actually met her face to face or if was a LDR.

I have known 3 Russian women in my life and 1 Ukranian woman that loved dozens of men chasing her. This is about the Russian women though.

1. Moved here when she was 9, had the accent. She kept all thoughts inside. Its like being with a manniquen. She understood English better than she spoke it. I knew her in a completely friend capacity through other friends.

2. Very very friendly, warm Russian straight from Russia, still lives there. I met her through a friend that deals with plenty of people internationally. She was a fiance of someone and was just a great person to be around.

3. A Russian coworker of a friend of mine. She was very warm, happy, news and politically conscious (but not to a fault like my friend). With her she was excitable, curious, and I had to answer dozens of questions. Actually more than dozens.

4. I will talk about the Ukranian... she felt she was god's gift to men. She loved getting looks, stares, on our second date she started webcamming with a guy in Oklahoma. At the end of the date she wanted to know when our third date would be, I told her there wouldn't be one.
