Russian women don't like crybabies.
In the realm of Russian women romance, Moscow journalist Alla Pavlova listed spiritual conversations and walks under the moon as big turn-ons. She also had some rather sarcastic advice to give to potential suitors (evidently caused by bad date experiences in the past!): carry more money in your pocket than the cost of a metro token, don't expect to charm Russian women while you are drunk, forget about your deep passion for computers or cars. And, oh yeah, don't forget to use deodorant. In an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, feminist icon Maria Arbatova talked about the kind of man she finds sexually attractive: "Apart from his appearance, he must have personality. I like realized men and not crybabies. As soon as a man begins to talk about how hard life is, all my erogenous zones atrophy."
Russian women want to stay at home.
But progressive Russian women like Menshova and Arbatova hardly speak for all of Russia. For their social and economic positions give them the kind of freedom that most lack. As Bezouglyi put it, the majority of Russian women "are still very much dependent on their boyfriends or husbands. It's still like in the States back in the '50s - they want to stay home, they're sick and tired of working in an aggressive environment full of sexual harassment, accidents, so they expect a lot of support from men.
Russian women at home.
It's kind of hard to be a Russian woman these days because you not only have to be responsible for your family, financially and emotionally, you also very often find yourself being the only one who brings the money home, and Russian women do expect that ... And, as anywhere else in the world, they expect men to be responsible and sharing, but very tough at the same time." But "Russian women never pay on dates, never. Even women with high incomes ... have told me that they sometimes offer to pay for themselves. But if a guy actually accepts this offer, forget it, they will never meet him again." |
