Do Russian Women Avoid Dating Russian Men?

With so many beautiful Russian women on international dating sites, you might ask “do Russian women avoid dating Russian men?” Russian women love the men of their country and are very loyal. But there are only 22 single men for every 25 single women in Russia and this gender gap has created a significant international dating industry.

Your odds therefore of finding a hot Russian bride are very high, but if you are searching for the perfect women you have to keep in mind your competition. Not only are you competing against other western men, local Russian men are trying to catch her attention as well. In any war, know your foe. To know what you are up against, let’s take a look at the typical Russian man.

Are Russian Men Sexist?

Russian culture is world of extremes. Despite the stereotype, Russian men on the whole are not alcoholic chauvinists. They are good men and this is reflected in the divorce rate actually being a few percentage points lower in Russian versus that in the USA (43.3% vs 45.8%).

Russia men however are still brought up in a traditional environment that sees men as superior to women. Status in old Russia came through marriage. Russian women tend to marry young and a woman was not considered respectable unless she was married. This is changing in more progressive cities such as Moscow or St Petersburg, but smaller towns still see women take on traditional roles. Historically, this means serving their men, taking care of the children and doing the household chores. In return, men are expected to complement their wives often with flowers and affection.

Are Russian Men Loyal?

To answer this question, first take a society that values men differently to women. Now add a shortage of single men into the equation. While most men are loyal to their wives, the opportunity for infidelity is high.

Put simply, the odds are in the man's favour in Russia. Women outnumber men and a man can easily find a woman for an affair if he is married. It is not unusual for a woman to offer casual sex to a man in the hope of starting a longer term relationship.

So What Does This Mean For You?

Despite your first thoughts, Russian women are not looking for the total opposite of Russian men. Instead learn from Russian men. Pay your Russian girlfriend compliments and bring her and her family gifts when you visit her. Be respectful and focus on how much you value family (especially if she is divorced and has a child from her previous marriage).
