Beautiful Russian Women Singles Personals

Competition among Russian women.

For me, it is even unpleasant because it is a stereotype. We have this so-called candy period, when Russian women without fail receive champagne, a box of candy and flowers." Another consequence of the shortage of males is intense competition among Russian women for "the right guy." According to Bezouglyi, "there are many more so-called decent Russian women - beautiful, good-looking, in good health and without bad habits - than men like this [in Russia] ... And the women have always been closer to Western standards." The obvious implication is that Russian women spend more time on their looks because they have to, while men can get away with just being their "adorable selves."

Pursuit of Russian Women.

On the positive side, Russian men do make romantic gestures in their "pursuit" of Russian women - from little things like extending a hand to help a woman off a bus, to gifts of flowers, chocolates or perfume. To many Western women, these gestures would be a welcome surprise. But Menshova has her own view on the matter. "It is a question of upbringing ... I would not say that Russian men are particularly romantic because, in most cases, flowers, helping with a coat, etc., happen rather by rote automatically, and they don't contain any especially romantic meaning ....

Abuse of Russian women.

More ominously, according to a Human Rights Watch report, 14,000 Russian women die every year at the hands of men. And the Interior Ministry reported that, in 1996, 80% of all violent acts were committed within the family. Most of these acts against Russian women go unreported, as there is still a widespread belief that "if he beats you, he must love you." In another arena, ultranationalist Duma Deputy Vladimir Zhirinovsky obviously has no qualms about attacking female deputies during Duma sessions - and justifying his behavior by their lack of femininity.
