Character difference between Russian and Western women

The first, and most obvious, difference is often in the dress. Women in Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet countries tend to wear more dressy clothes: high heels and mini skirts are a common sight on the streets here. They normally wear more make up than one would see in Europe or US. But the difference is much more than skin deep.

Beauties with brains are more of a rule than an exception; most women you will meet will be in great shape, intelligent and well-rounded. Education in Russia is taken very seriously and gives the kids a wide spectrum of knowledge (more than in the American schools, for example); university level education is practically an integral part of education, so most ladies you meet will be cultured and sophisticated. Healthy lifestyle comes naturally (mainly for lack of any other choice): they walk a lot - because most people don't have cars; eat home cooked food - since restaurants are considered expensive; as a result, sports and dieting are not as popular as they are in the West - simply because there is no need for it.

The main qualities of Russian women are their patience and tolerance. Some things these women can forgive and cope with are more than any Western woman will be ready to bear. Striking a compromise comes naturally, and they generally will do anything it takes to save a relationship. They truly are natural-born mothers and keepers of a hearth, full of care and warmth, which they are ready to give to people in their lives. They will be ready to shower not only you with their love and concern, but also your family and loved ones. Russian women are generally more considerate, reliable, and search to form a partnership in a relationship, not a competition, as has become common in the West.

It is typical for Russian women to think about others more than about their own needs - a great quality with roots buried in the women's low self-esteem and insecurities. The society has been pressing upon them the great sense of responsibility (for the country, the family, the kids, etc) for so long, that they have it engraved in their minds. Men rarely do anything to relieve women of this responsibility, and generally accept it as a must. Because of these insecurities and overly developed sense of responsibility, it is also common for Russian women to stay with their husbands, even if she were better off without one (many Russian men drink and mistreat their women). These women can move mountains, but they will never brag about it, as do many Western women in claiming their rights and independence.

I am certain that knowing these differences will help men searching for a Russian bride to shape their communication with the ladies to make the most of a relationship. Things that are common in romantic relationships overseas (surprising your sweetheart with a gift, a candlelit dinner, or some small pleasant surprise) are very likely to help you earn a woman's attention since they rarely see it from the opposite sex here. Add to it being genuine, caring, and making your woman feel like someone is doing something for her for a change - and you will have a guaranteed way to conquer her heart.

Of course, moving to a western world will change your lady - being exposed to a different culture has no other way but to do so. However, in my experience, these changes are usually for the best. The energy and responsibility taught since young age are often directed by Russian women abroad to their homes/families, and/or careers. Their intelligence and persistence allow them to achieve great results in learning the language, finding and succeeding in a job, maintaining a home, etc. And having had to balance work and home most of their life will make your Russian wife seem like a superwoman - because she will manage both exceptionally well and do it with ease and smile.

Most women married to foreigners see this as a way to be free: financially, emotionally, spiritually, etc. They finally have a chance to do things they have always dreamt about doing (traveling, helping their family, etc), but they are also ready to work for it.
