Why Russian Women Like Western Men

By Mark De Schutter

There are multiple reasons why Russian women like western men. Many societal influences have dictated the social status of these twenty first century women. Some trends can be seen when examining these reasons. There are several common factors in the current interest among female Russians to cast their eyes Westward.

The outdated notion that Russian women are all big bulky farm wives is still somewhat current in the west.Today's Russian women are as beautiful as any of the world's women.The unfair depiction of these ladies still causes a prejudice against them in some Western minds.but they are no longer the women they were in the sixties and seventies.

Beauty aside, Russian women are well educated and professionally trained in many areas.However their lives are greatly affected by the lack of marriageable men available.Russia's long term involvement in disastrous wars has rendered its society lacking in men.Also, Russian men are not noted for longevity.Many new young widows are left to raise families when their husbands die young. Socially, it is frowned upon for Russian women to remain single beyond a certain age.These factors, among others cause many a Russian woman to wonder if Mr. Right awaits her in the West.

Russian men have a reputation for lack of emotional empathy.Their history is one of absolute control in the domestic environment.Many Russian women feel that Western men are further along the route to understanding women's emotional needs.It is true that Western men have made greater progress in that direction in the past few decades.Russian women hope for a degree of emotional compatability from Western men.

During the time of the formation of the U. S. S. R. The women of Russia were freed from their subservient positions to a degree. They were now able to do any work that a man could do. This was an improvement, in some ways. But many women were not happy to find themselves suddenly expected to accept a lifetime of menial labor. Many Russian women are better educated than the men.But they are not always welcomed into the lucrative professional jobs they are suited for.Russian women like the idea of being more able to use all their abilities when living in Western family settings.

The women of Russia want to find Western men who will allow them some freedom. They hope to find spouses who will encourage them to use whichever of their talents they choose. They hope to combine marriage, career and child-rearing.

These are some of the reasons why Russian women like Western men.There are many others. When Russian women can find suitable men at home, they will probably be more content to stay there.In the meantime, Western men benefit from the ongoing flow of attractive, smart and family minded women into their lives.
