Russian Brides and Ukrainian Brides, What’s The Difference?

Above, we provided you with an introduction to some of the differences between Ukrainian Brides and Russian Brides. Now you can discover something about where you can meet a single Ukrainian Bride to date or marry. Searching online for single Ukrainian Brides, often the websites with Russian women cataloged will also have Ukrainian women listed. Thus, it is pretty straightforward to find an online service that accommodates Ukrainian Brides looking for marriage. A premium service like SecureDating.com will not only allow you to meet a Ukrainian Bride online; they also provide all the services needed to meet a Ukrainian Bride face-to-face. Nonetheless, Ukraine as a country is geographically closer to most European countries than Russia. Thus, many single European men choose to visit Ukraine without making any prearrangements, hoping to bump into someone single by chance. Also, Ukraine is a lot smaller than Russia, even though it is still the second biggest country in Europe, making traveling within Ukraine easier than in Russia. Yet, there are places in Ukraine where meeting a single Ukrainian Bride is more straightforward than others.

Another thing to consider when going to Ukraine is that there is not a lot to do in some cities and thus from a tourist point of view, some of these places can be rather boring, especially if you have no prearranged dates in place. Hence, you are better off going to cities in Ukraine where you can do a combination of Bride hunting and traditional tourist activities. The city of Odessa, which is located directly on the Black Sea with nice beaches, crazy nightclubs, a huge variety of restaurants, excellent museums, shops and a must-experience beautiful opera house, and much more, is the place to go. Odessa is famous for the staggering amount of beautiful women living there, and you’ll meet them everywhere you go. In the summer, Odessa is also where Ukrainians go on vacation and to party, and thus, beautiful women from all over Ukraine come to Odessa to enjoy its beaches and nightclubs. However, going out in Odessa is, to some extent, a young man’s game, and thus if you are 45+ and don’t feel like hunting down young girls on the dance floor, you are better off making prearrangements when it comes to dates.

Other cities in Ukraine where you find many attractive Ukrainian Brides are Kiev, Kherson, Nikolaev, Sumy, Kharkiv, Lviv, Lugansk, Mariupol, Poltava, Ternopil, and Zaporizhzhia. However, in most of these cities, setting up prearranged dates is recommendable as women are generally quite busy working and more serious than in Odessa, where people are party-minded and more relaxed in general. Kiev is the capital and the biggest city in Ukraine, and it has a lot of single women living there, and there is a lot to do; however, like in any other big city, the women in Kiev tend to be more reserved and harder to approach. Thus, your chances of finding a Ukrainian Bride by chance are bigger in most other cities, including Odessa. To sum up, for younger single men who seak an adventure going to Ukraine to hunt beautiful Ukrainian Brides is perfectly manageable and a fun thing to experience. However, if you are looking for something more serious and want to be more sure of the outcome, setting up prearranged dates is the best thing to do, especially if you have to travel across the Atlantic.

Having provided you with some insights regarding Ukraine and Ukrainian Brides, we now move on to Russia. As mentioned before, on many international dating and marriage agency websites, you’ll find both Ukrainian and Russian Brides listed; thus, there is no difference when it comes to your online approach. However, if you plan to go to Russia to meet a Russian Bride without any prearrangements, the experience is different from Ukraine. First of all, Russia is a vast country with 11 different time zones, and getting from A to B can sometimes take days, if not weeks, if you travel by train. Likewise, within Russia, you also find more cultural differences compared to Ukraine. In Ukraine, there is not much difference between women in the South and the North, whereas, in Russia, there is a big difference between women in the West and the woman in the Far East. Hence, when going to Russia, you have to be more well prepared and have done your research.

Also, in Russia, far fewer people than in Ukraine speak English, and thus the language can soon become an issue if you don’t speak any Russia. Nonetheless, finding a Russian Bride by going to Russia without any prearrangements is possible, and it is done by many single men every year. In the big cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, there is naturally a lot to do and see from a tourist point of view; however, regarding finding a Russian Bride by chance, it is harder than in Ukraine and compared to the smaller cities and towns you’ll find throughout Russia. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, everything is expensive, even for Western standards, when it comes to hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, etc. Moreover, women in Moscow and St. Petersburg tend to be reserved and hard to approach unless you go to nightclubs and bars, whereas in Ukraine, you can easily meet someone in the street or on the beach. If you go to the smaller cities and towns in Russia, it is easier to meet a Russian Bride than the big cities; however, the downside is that there is often nothing else to do in these smaller places.

Furthermore, in most cities in Ukraine, foreigners can feel pretty safe walking around a night, whereas in many Russian cities, it is necessary to be more careful. Another thing to consider when you want to meet a Russian Bride is that their mentality is different from Ukrainian Brides; as we mentioned above, Russian women tend to be more conservative when it comes to men and dating, and they expect more from you if you want to date them. Nonetheless, meeting a Russian Bride is overall not that difficult no matter if you go to the big cities or any small city or town in Russia. However, in Russia, you don’t find places that are expressly known for their women as you do in Ukraine, e.g., such as Odessa. Summing up, Bride hunting in Russia is more challenging than in Ukraine, and it requires more planning; and again, as we mentioned earlier, it is probably a young man’s game going to Ukraine or Russia without any prearrangements if you want a more sure outcome regarding meeting a Ukrainian or Russian Bride.

Above, we went through some of the places in Ukraine where meeting a Ukrainian Bride is relatively easy and how to go about it, so now we’ll endeavor to give you a few more pointers regarding Ukrainian Brides. Ukrainian Brides are beautiful, feminine, and family-oriented; that is what most international dating websites claim when you are searching for a single Ukrainian Bride online. However, is it true, and if it is, to what extent are we talking about? And what is it actually like dating a Ukrainian Bride? These are some of the questions we’ll look at now. For the past 10-15 years, Western men in vast numbers have gone to Ukraine to meet, date, and marry a beautiful Ukrainian Bride. It is estimated that since 2005, 2-3 million Ukrainian women have left Ukraine to go live somewhere else either because they got married, because of work, or to live with family already living outside Ukraine. Even though there are no precise numbers, it is at least one million more women than who has left Russia in the same period, even though Russia has a population three times bigger than Ukraine.

So by the looks of it, Ukrainian Brides seem even more popular than Russian Brides. When dating a Ukrainian woman, you are most likely dating a beautiful woman, especially if you meet her on an international dating or marriage agency website. We have gone over thousands of profiles listed on various dating websites and have, without question, come to the same conclusion as we have regarding Russian Brides; Ukrainian Brides tend to be very attractive and sexy. Yet, there do seem to be some differences regarding Ukrainian Brides vs. Russian Brides. For example, one of the findings we identified was that the Russian Brides listed on international dating websites seemed to have more women with university degrees, whereas Ukrainian women who are listed tend to be hairdressers, hairstylists, cosmetologists, kindergarten teachers, dental hygienists, dental assistants, secretaries, and administrative assistants.

Another finding we came across when speaking to single men who have both been to Russia and Ukraine is that when dating Ukrainian women compared to Russian women, they are generally a little less concerned with traditional dating etiquette than women in Russia. Hence, they take things a little less seriously and are not that concerned if you do the right things or not. Also, they are more outspoken and direct, so, e.g., if they don’t find you interesting or a good match, they don’t go about it politely as Russian women more likely would. For Ukrainian Brides meeting a Western man is not as hard as it can be in Russia, and thus they feel more confident that someone else will come along. Also, today Ukrainians can travel internationally without as many visa restrictions as there are for Russians, and thus often, a Ukrainian Bride will meet a Westerner when she goes on vacation. Nevertheless, Ukrainian Brides are still compared to Western women more feminine, and they do have traditional values like family and marriage on their minds. A good guess will be that Ukrainian Brides are cultural and mentally where Western women used to be in the 1980s or 1990s.

After providing some insights into what dating a Ukrainian Bride is like, we now turn our attention to Russian Brides to examine the differences. Foremost Russian Brides tend to be more concerned about their looks than Ukrainian Brides; thus, when dating a Russian Bride, she always does her utmost to be as attractive as possible. In Russia, women generally like to wear colorful dresses, high heels, and fancy jewelry. Also, you most likely noticed that numerous Russian women have gorgeous bodies. In Russia, working out for women is more popular than ever, and the result shows not only on international dating or marriage agency websites but also on the streets throughout Russia. In Ukraine, as mentioned earlier, women are a little more relaxed than in Russia, which also applies when it comes to working out. However, dating a Russian Bride is more than just great looks. In Russia, a substantial percentage of Russian women have university degrees, and they are very competent within areas such as technology, medicine, science, law, and government.

Thus, dating a Russian Bride can seem somewhat intimidating at the beginning, at least for some men. Another issue when dating a Russian Bride is Russian men and their influence on Russian culture and Russian women’s attitude towards men. Most mothers in Russian teach their daughters that trusting in men is a bad idea and something that will get them hurt. The reason is that men in Russia on a large scale drink too much and are not very concerned with women’s well-being. As a result, Russian women sometimes come across as reserved at the beginning of a dating relationship. In other words, you have to earn a Russian woman’s trust. Furthermore, when dating a Russian Bride, she most likely will test you to see how you react in specific situations, which can sound cold. Nevertheless, try to see if from her view, especially when she is dating a foreigner, and contemplates leaving Russia, family, and friends behind.

Nevertheless, after dating a Russian Bride for a while and earning her trust, you’ll discover that Russian Brides are quite extraordinary. Russian Brides value family above everything else, and if you respect and share the same position both in understanding and action – a Russian Bride will stay true and faithful no matter what happens. Also, Russian Brides don’t see money or wealth as something significant, as long as there is food on the table. During Soviet times, nobody in Russia owned anything and had to make do with very little. Thus, even today, most Russian people can get by with very little, compared to Western standards, and they do so without complaining. Also, it is worth mentioning that Russian women don’t see themselves as victims; on the contrary, they see themselves as survivors and competent. Therefore, in contrast to Western women who today often see themselves as victims of more or less everything, women in Russia believe more in individual responsibility and that you reap as you sow.
