Some Notes For Men Seeking Russian Women For Marriage

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Andrey_Nilin]Andrey Nilin
Once, dining in an upscale restaurant in a small U.S. city, I overheard a conversation among several people sitting next to me who were cracking jokes about mail-order brides and how low-demanding they are: "Here's a glass of clean water for you, sweetie." A burst of laughter. At first, I was infuriated, because I had heard that Russian ladies looking for international marriage are labeled as "mail-order brides" in the United States and, being Russian by origin I completely disagree with that label. At the same time, there's nothing wrong with making fun of the concept of a woman being "sent in a box" to her husband who lives in a wealthier country (especially to make people aware that this situation is literally taking place) but when this image is generalized to a particular nationality or to women from a particular country, then it is absolutely unacceptable.
It is interesting to note that this expression is known only in Western countries. If you go to Russia, Belarus, Ukraine - in short, countries of the former Soviet Union that are still sometimes referred to in general as Russia - and ask if they've heard about "mail-order brides," you will be surprised to find that practically nobody knows the term. So before you tie the knot with your beloved woman from Russia, make sure she understands what she might encounter in her new country. The following advice is based on real observations made in the last few years.
Russian ladies are very popular among Western men because of their exceptional beauty and caring nature. Their Slavic heritage generously gifted them with an attractive appearance and good skills in taking care of home and family. The population differences between men and women in Russia give women a good incentive to take care of their appearance and to seek marriage abroad. However, the popular myth that single Russian women are desperate to find a husband abroad and are willing to be ordered by catalogue or sent in a box to a man they haven't seen before, or to one with whom they've talked twice on the phone is so far from reality. Russian ladies themselves can be very demanding. Sure, they might like the idea of drinking a glass of clean water in a restaurant, but that's just because they don't like consuming high-calorie drinks. There are numerous situations where Russian ladies may be disappointed with something in a new and wealthier country.
I remember how a friend of mine almost burst into tears when a guy she fell in love with brought her to his home - somewhere in the middle-of-nowhere Ohio. They live in a wonderful big house, but the fact that she needs to drive or walk at least an hour just to get to the nearest grocery store still irritates her. Originally from a big city in Russia, she was used to active surroundings all day long, while in this new country, her new home, it was more like an upscale, but quite rural life. If you have the opportunity, please, tell all single Russian women seeking marriage in the United States that the country as a whole is not all skyscrapers, and that cities like New York (which is more or less the typical image of the United States in Russian minds) are few and far between. She might be lucky enough to find a guy in Chicago or San Francisco, but in most cases she has a higher chance of ending up in Lima, Ohio, where life is not exactly the way it is in Hollywood movies. In other words, keep in mind that Russian ladies might not appreciate some things that are common in your country.
