Russian Brides - Who Are They?
In recent years, thousands of young Russian and Ukrainian women
have come to the USA and European countries by means of marriage
and were unkindly labeled “Russian mail-order brides”. But who
are these women, really? Why are they prepared to leave
everything behind, to go to an unknown country and live with an
unknown man? Can a Russian bride really be a good solution for a
Western man? We will attempt to demystify the phenomenon of
mail-order-brides.
Why do Russian women want to marry foreigners?
There are thousands of dating services featuring young,
beautiful Russian women who are looking for Western husbands.
There are so many women that it might seem all of the young
females in Russia have decided to leave their country. This is
only an illusion, though. Russia and Ukraine are very big
countries with huge populations, and women who are searching for
husbands abroad represent less than 0.01% of all single Russian
women.
The girls who place their ads with dating services, hoping to
find a husband in the USA or Europe, have various reasons to do
so. The most common reason is that they have heard from friends
and the media that Western men treat women better than Russian
men do. They have heard that drinking isn’t such a problem in
these Western countries as it is in Russia, and that men
actually care for their families.
So, the common perception that mail-order brides are searching
for a better lifestyle isn’t quite right. In reality, they are
searching for a better man than they can get in Russia or
Ukraine. See more information about single Russian women

What makes Western men to look for a Russian bride?
At first glance, it might seem very strange that so many men are
prepared to spend thousands, to bring a foreign wife to their
country and struggle with all the differences of language and
culture. Wouldn’t it be easier to find a decent wife at home?
Western men have many reasons, to look for Russian wives:
Some are fascinated by Russian culture and want a partner
who would not only share this fascination, but actually be a
part of this culture
Some are middle-aged men, who were unhappy in a previous
relationship but are prepared to try again, with a lady who is
still young enough to have children. As you know, in Western
culture marriages with age differences of 5 years, or more, are
not common; so, if a man were 45-50, he would be unlikely to
find a partner under 40 years of age, in his own country
And some are men who, for one reason or another, are
dissatisfied with the women in their own country. Russian women
are less materialistic, more traditional and feminine than their
Western sisters, and this type of a lady appeals to many
men.
What is the success rate - can finding a wife from Russia can
really work for a western man? It works for many men: there
are thousands of Russian-Western couples that are very happy
together. There are unhappy ones as well, though, and the usual
causes are: a lady can’t adjust to a life in a new country; both
partners had unrealistic expectations before marriage; or they
can’t work through their cultural differences, so mutual
understanding is never achieved.
While working with many Russian-Western couples I noticed a
pattern, though: happily married men are usually the ones who
were not looking for a ‘Russian bride’, but for a partner to
live with. They also learned a lot about Russian culture and
traditions and put some effort into making their lady feel happy
and welcome in her new home. If a man is prepared to work
through the minor difficulties, starting a family with a Russian
woman can be very rewarding.
If you are looking for a Russian lady it is very important to
collect as much information as possible about her and her
culture. You will find useful a free e-book
