Russian Women are Only After Passports &

Will Divorce Their Husbands

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

1. 1. It will be a paradise on the earth after I marry a Russian woman.
   
   2. Russian women are only after passports, and will divorce their husbands as soon as they have the passport.

An old proverb says that it's very easy to find a suitable partner for marriage: one just must be a suitable partner himself.

Another nice saying is: Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

Marrying a Russian woman does not have a principle difference from marrying any other woman: you yourself are responsible for your success. If you are truly in love with each other, nothing can interfere with your life-long happiness.

The only way to get what you want is to not fool yourself. Unfortunately there are some women looking only for foreign passports. If you are 65, have health problems, very average life and dream to get married to a girl of 18 years old, you may meet more than 1 of them.

The overwhelming majority of Russian women seeking husbands abroad are honest in their intentions. They want to have a reliable partner, happy family and stable future. They are not going to marry a guy just to divorce him in a couple of years.

But they are also not going to take care of a man with serious handicaps devoting their best years to him. Sorry to tell you that, but if you are in a wheel-chair, your chances with real Russian ladies are slim.

You must not expect too much of your marriage to a Russian woman. It is not nationality which makes a marriage successful. It is honesty, respect, trust and mutual efforts.

Russian women do have more experience and skills for developing successful relationships but it can't grow only from one side.

If you are open and honest, and don't think that you can get something for nothing, then chances are you will succeed in marriage with a Russian woman.

Next time I want to tell you about . . .

The truth about Russian women seeking love, romance and marriage in the West is that they are not exotic beings who are very different from their Western sisters. They are special in the sense that what you see in the Internet catalogues are only the best, and those best were chosen from a very specific category of women who were brave and intelligent enough to start this adventure.

The only statement of dating agencies that is close to the truth, is that Russian women make good wives. Brought up in the situation where anybody depends on everybody, they are very flexible and easily adapt to any situation. They are used to compromise.

Russian women seeking partners accept the rules of the game and act according to the representations originated from dating agencies. In some extent both agencies and women believe that all the positive myths considered above are true. Internal intentions stay invisible and sometimes even unconscious . . .

Russian Girls and Russian Women are Only Interested in Your Money

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

• 1 ) Russian women are not interested in your money or financial situation.
  
  2) A Russian girl will love you as you are.
  
  3) Corresponding with a Russian woman is just a scam to make you send her money.

Russian women are interested in your financial situation, as well as you are interested in her beauty and good character. It's just normal. The other thing is that her understanding of a good financial situation is different. The average western family has living standards, which are accessible only for the top income group in Russia.

Russian Girls are definitely interested in you if you have a stable secure job to provide for the family, own a house or have another property. She of course will decide in your favor not only because of your money, but your financial security is of great importance for her on the introduction stage.

At the same time any of your attempts to impress her with your wealth will receive a negative response. We all usually have at least two reasons for doing something: the real one and the one that sounds good. Russian women genuinely believe that the reasons why they are looking for a husband abroad are the lack of men in Russia and their terrible habits.

Russian women will tell you that the wealth of your soul is much more important than the wealth of your bank account.

Yes, it's true, but keep in mind that it's not all the truth.

Russian women are worried about moving to a strange country, and of course they don't want to plunge themselves in a worse situation than they are currently in. They do want to find a better life. It's an absolutely normal aspiration for a human being.

Nevertheless, if you obviously try to show a woman how rich you are, she will feel outraged and probably will reject you as too materialistic.

You could also have heard a lot about scams in connection with Russian brides.

Yes, such a thing exists. Russians are very good in fraud ventures. They can invent things you would never ever think of. No wonder that the matrimonial industry attracted the attention of scam artists too.

Usually it works like this: you correspond with a woman for a while. She is wonderful and perfect in everything. You feel as though you are falling in love with her and decide to meet her in person. For some important objective reasons you are supposed to meet somewhere away from her native place. The most common scenario is when a "woman" wants to visit you in your country (or in another country, or the capital of her country - but not in the city where she lives) and asks you to sponsor her travel arrangements. The next scenario is simple as 2+2: you send her money for travel expenses, and it's the last time you hear from her.

Things like this do happen to foreign men from time to time. What can save you from scam artists is a simple caution: do not send any money to anybody you have not personally met. Pay for her plane ticket directly to an air company, and only you will be able to receive a refund. If a woman tries to insist that it will be cheaper for you if she buys a ticket in Russia herself, or that the "visa agency" requires to make travel arrangements through them, think carefully if you are ready to kiss the money good bye.

And remember, no agency, friend or relative can influence the decision of the Embassy to issue a visa. Do not send money for visas or tickets to USA, Canada or Australia! It is definitely a scam!

It may be that she honestly tries to save you money, but I would recommend to avoid girls that are too good to be true. If she writes you letters that make you cry and sing, please remember that the majority of Russian ladies have huge problems with expressing their feelings in general, and even more problems with English.

The number of people who try to take advantage of inexperienced love seekers is rather insignificant. All agencies are aware of scams, and ask their clients to inform them if a woman asks for money. The agencies remove immediately the data of those women from databases, and usually scammers work independently using Internet personals where anyone is invited to place a free ad with the system of club membership rather than specialized Russian dating agencies where you need to pay per address.

Nevertheless, if it's your first experience with foreign brides, you are likely to pick up a gold digger. Why? Because real Russian women are not perfect. They delay answering their letters and many still don't use email. They are shy to express their feelings. A beautiful educated woman without children can receive 10-15 letters every day from well educated successful men 5-15 years her senior. If she has chosen you, there may be a reason - does her reason sounds good enough for you?

The Price of a Soviet Union Russian Woman

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

1. Making contact with Russian ladies will be a small price, so why don't you try?
   
2. Marrying a Russian woman is a difficult and costly exercise, and one barely will succeed.

When you start thinking about marrying a woman from the former Soviet Union, you might not realize the price it will cost you. Making contacts with Russian ladies truly costs you almost nothing but to marry a Russian woman you will have to have some spare money.

If all you want is just to entertain yourself and then have a look what can get out of it, it's OK. Just keep in mind that you are also spending the time of a poor Russian girl who has serious intentions to find a life partner. Probably, you'd better join a chat room web site.

The first thing you must decide is where you are going to look for a potential bride. You may apply to one of numerous Internet introduction agencies and buy addresses of Russian women seeking a partner abroad, place a personal ad, or go for a tour organized by an agency where you will have a chance to meet hundreds of marriage-minded Russian women in person on so called "socials".

Buying addresses will cost you about $5 (USD) or more per item. Personal listing - from $20 to $750 (USD), or you can place your ad at free services.

I do not recommend using free services. They do not guarantee anything and became a place for scam artists to contact you.

The price of foreign dating/escort tours varies from $2,800 to $9,900 (USD) including airfare and accommodations.

To marry a Russian woman you will have to have to process all documents through immigration services or another immigration government service in your country. They all are made of the same substance. The main necessary requirement is that you have met each other in person before you apply for a visa for your fiancee.

To obtain another type of visa for a single woman in many countries is virtually impossible, and you can spend even more if you try. Do not believe ANYBODY who tries to convince you otherwise (applicable to USA, Canada and Australia ONLY; Europe and other countries do grant visitor's visas to single Russian girls).

So regardless of which option you have chosen, you will have to visit Russia one day, or one of the former Soviet Union satellite countries. A standard tour will cost you something in between $1,500-$2,000 (USD)+ expenses for meals, gifts and entertainment.

Some men prefer to combine both options. They buy addresses and correspond with a few women for a while. Then they go for a tour to visit the women before or after they attend "socials" to secure results. My pinion it is a wise choice.

Regarding "socials", a personal contact is a personal contact, and this way may considerably speed up the process. It also may bring you a knock-out, and you will have to review your decision or strategy, which is why I believe establishing some contacts prior to the tour is essential.

While corresponding with ladies you must also be ready for some expenses. Probably, you would like to send a gift to your lady, or a book about your city and country. If you use a mail forwarding service (delivering a letter to Russia via regular mail can take 2-4 weeks), it will cost you about $1.00 (USD) per 1 ounce letter. Then the necessary visit to Russia, as discussed earlier, is at least $1,500 (USD). Then there are the visa application process and fees. When your lady is about to join you, you will have to buy her a ticket and probably supply her with some money for her family that she leaves behind.

I think you should not expect to spend less than $3,500-4000 (USD) (if you are very lucky), with some issues estimating the necessary amount in $10,000-20,000 (USD). From this point of view, it's quite stupid to try saving a few dollars on the first stage when can you just buy addresses from agencies or advertise yourself overseas. I know many cases when men returned empty handed and had to start everything from scratch. Quite an expensive failure.

Use all opportunities, buy 20 addresses instead of 2, advertise yourself and choose women who meet your requirements 100% (at least, fit the most important criteria). I believe if you do something - it's worth doing it well. If you understand the importance of making the right choice on the first stage, and act consciously, step by step, you will succeed.

Russian Women Prefer Older Husbands

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

1. Russian women prefer older husbands.
   
2. You can easily find a young beautiful Russian woman who will be happy to marry you.
   
3. Men, who are looking for Russian wives, are unattractive, old and desperate losers.

Contrary to popular belief, most men who are looking for Russian wives, are in their 30's or 40's, are good looking and have successful careers.

I* had a chance to check it on my own experience. The percentage of men older than 50 years was about 5% of the men who tried to contact me, with about the same number of guys who were under 30 years old (I forgot to specify age limit in my application to agencies - a usual mistake of female applicants). This proportion corresponds a normal client structure of any personals or dating agency.

Although Russian ladies usually get married to considerably older Western men, it does not mean that they do prefer older husbands. They just don't mind the age difference as much as western women do! Normally in Russia a woman will marry a man of the same age or 5 to 10 years older.

The reason why women still go for older foreign men is that if a woman has ventured to look for a foreign match, she wants to make sure she will have a stable life and security. When marrying a man who is older than herself, she feels more secure than if he was of the same age, even though they would have the same financial security.

In Russia it is not uncommon when men divorce after 30 and find younger wives - and this is the last thing that a woman wants to happen to her in a strange country. These Russian women want to make sure that their marriage to a foreign man will be stable.

It is true that one can get married to a Russian lady much younger than oneself, such as 20-30 years younger. It's another story what he can expect of such a marriage. Those marriages are not as stable as the ones where age difference is 5-15 years. If one gets married to a girl 30 years younger than himself, he must understand a potential danger of this union as well as the real reasons pushing a young woman towards this decision.

Even if, in the beginning, a woman has proper intentions to stay with her older husband for the rest of her life, she may change her attitude with time. It's normal for Russian women to sacrifice themselves for families and children, but one will adapt to the Western life style quickly, and she could start feeling miserable. She'll want to go to a disco, party, skiing, diving etc - and her older husband won't be able to go out as much as she wants. Once she goes out on her own, divorce is around the corner.

Certainly, any personal situation is unique. Marriages between older men and young women always took place in real life, with many of them being stable and happy.

If you are confident about yourself and your fiancée' s feelings and intentions, nothing should stop you.

"Still better regret about the things done than about a missed opportunity."

An added note from Dennis to Elena's observations:

My sweet Nadia and I are 20 years apart. I was truelly looking no more than 15 years and more like 10 years apart - the woman being younger of course! If you are like me, when I was very young, older women apealled to me. As life continued, young women and even girls appeal to my libido! But trying to be realistic when I was online searching, all the domestic women younger than me were few and far between. When I tried the international scene, so many young women were interested in me! I was flabergasted to say the least!

I had women 30 years younger than me - INTERESTED in me! It was fun, but at the same time I wanted to be realistic. Because some of the international dating agencies have women in groups of age from 35 to 45 I ended up talking to these younger women. I had to say "NO" to more than you can imagine.

Finally I met my Nadia, who was 20 years younger than me.

Today? We are so in love and appreciate each other that I hope that each and everyone who is looking for true love finds their match.

Russian Women - Very Fond of Western Men

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

• >Russian women are very fond of Western men.
  >Russian women dislike Russian men.
• >All Russian women are eager to escape Russia for the better life on the West.

All these statements are pure lies.

Myths and Truths: Russian women are very fond of Western men.

Russian women like Russian men. A Russian woman would prefer to get married to a Russian guy. Russian life is quite an adventure, and Russian men are smart and interesting to be with.

If so, then why are Russian women are looking for husbands abroad?

The answer is that they want to have good husbands. Russian men just can't make good husbands. Russian men are nice but Russian traditions of family life are not. When one grows up in a society, one acts according its rules and traditions. It is not because one is bad, it is just a natural result of the social environment.

I know a few Russian families who have moved from Russia to other countries. The wives are quite happy about the situation in their families. I believe I am also a different wife than I would be if I* married a Russian guy and stayed in Russia. One can't live in a society and be free of its rules and customs.

Myths and Truths: Russian women dislike Russian men.

The objective reasons why Russians can't make good husbands are alcohol abuse, and their poor health conditions. All have their roots in the society life. Women of 18 years old have no problems with finding appropriate partners of their age, and most of them do. The Russian woman's relationship problem starts later.

The Russian society and life's conditions push men towards alcohol addiction, which causes in its turn problems with health. There are, of course, men who are healthy and take good care of their families, but they usually get married early and stay married.

There is also such a reason as demographic disproportion between men and women. Women outnumber men, and though this difference is not really huge, 10% according to different studies, it gives a big absolute number of lonely women, who have zero chances to find a life partner. The demographic disproportion also does not take place in the age group 18-25 years old, but starts from the age of 30 and up.

Myths and Truths: All Russian women are eager to escape Russia for the better life on the West.

The statement that all Russian women would be happy to escape Russia for the better life in the West is also grossly exaggerated. As far as I know, dating agencies have a permanent but limited flow of new applicants. Many women sign with a few agencies. According my estimations, it's not more than 100,000 women who are featured by different agencies, including Russian local marriage agencies. Some of the women have already got married, gave up their search or found a partner in Russia.

The majority of single women don't consider finding a husband abroad as an option. Even if they can't find a partner in their homeland, they would never leave Russia. Many women who signed up with agencies, do not perform an intensive search and have this way only as one of several options. It's particularly true towards young women under 25 years old.

Population of Russia is about 150 million people with 77-80 million women. Thus, the share of women trying to find a foreign husband is not more than 0.13% of the total number, and only about 0.5% of the number of single women. As I already said, for a big part of them signing with agencies is just a try, and they do not consider this opportunity as a real option.

(This is Dennis: I concur with what Elena Petrova writes about, "they do not consider this opportunity as a real option." My Nadia was shocked to even find me on the Internet let alone eventually marrying me and moving from her lifestyle, culture, family and friends to come and live in the USA. At best she thought that she might, that is maybe, per chance, be lucky enough to find a "good guy", as they call us guys, somewhere in Europe, let alone half way around the world!)

Russian Women Online Seek a Husband

Russian women online seek a husband and have great expectations.

Usually it is because they have a good education and life experiences.

They are different from the rest of Russian females.

More myths and truths about Russian women of the former Soviet Union:

They are well educated and intelligent.

They live in a completely different world.

They are stupid in the simplest everyday things.

They have difficulty adapting to foreign cultures.

They have difficulty learning foreign languages.

It's correct that people in Russia are better educated than most of the rest of the world. The Soviet educational system was probably the best in the world. One could receive advanced knowledge. Education was free. Additionally she received a scholarship from the government. There were special scholarships for the best students.

After Perestroyka things started to fall apart but Russian education is still good enough and quite affordable. Anybody can still receive the best university education for free, all she needs to do is to prove her knowledge by passing the entrance exams. College education is even more affordable. Most professional schools are free of charge.

First time after arriving in the West a Russian woman can seem stupid because of her ignorance about simple everyday things. She probably doesn't know how to deal with kitchen equipment or an automatic washing machine. She is definitely not aware about payment by check or credit card.

99% of Russians use only cash as payment means. After quite a few occasions when money on bank accounts in Russia lost their value in 4-10 times for a few days, Russians do not trust banks and prefer to keep money in cash.

Please understand, she is not stupid. She just never used those facilities. She will get right with the things as well as the language. Russians do not need English or any other foreign language in their daily life. During the Soviet time learning a foreign language was considered as needless and even harmful. Russians received a chance to watch English speaking TV channels just a few years ago, and it's accessible only through cable TV, which is quite expensive.

I studied English in Russia for a long time, and foreigners usually said that my English was very good. Nevertheless, when I arrived here I could not understand people's speech. It was too fast for me. For the first weeks I watched TV almost the whole day long to practice. So don't worry about your Russian fiancée's poor English - she will learn quickly.
