Russian Brides Statistics, What Are The Facts?

In the section above, we provided you with some valuable insights into Russian demographics and how they influence your chance of success when you desire to meet an attractive Russian Bride. Also, we touched upon some of the reasons why Russian Brides in such vast numbers search for a Western man online. Here we’ll examine what the situation looks like in Western countries regarding men to women ratios and some cultural reasons why Western men in greater numbers than ever before are searching for a Russian Bride. Generally speaking, in most Western countries, the ratio between men and women is fairly even, with some countries having a few percentages more men than women and sometimes vice versa. Thus, compared to the West in general, Russia stands out with its huge amount of single women. Nonetheless, you would think that if the West has a more or less even gender ratio finding a woman to date or marry should still be possible for a single man within Western countries.

However, when digging a little deeper, the reason why many Western men can’t find an attractive woman at home is not so much a gender ratio problem as it is a cultural problem. Since the 1970s, Western governments, as well as the UN and similar organizations, have promoted equal rights for women, and as a result, women have entered the workforce, educational institutions, and places of government. Furthermore, Western women have stated getting fewer children than they used to, causing a rapid decline in birth rates. For example, in the 1950s, a Western woman would, on average, get 4-5 children, whereas today she’ll give birth to two children in the United States and 1,5 children in most European countries. Furthermore, Western women have culturally welcomed the idea that all men represent some form of patriarchy that intentionally tries to suppress women in everything they do. And as a result, a staggering 33% of women today in Western countries will rather live alone than with a man. In contrast, only 8% of men prefer a single life.

Thus, from this viewpoint, in Western countries, you can argue that there is an average deficit of women of 25%, even though the actual men-to-women gender ratio is almost equal. What is more, when men reach the age of 40+, the situation looks even more desperate. Women in their youth tend to enjoy dating and don’t mind engaging in a relationship; however, after 30, everything stops. Consequently, for a 40+ single man finding a woman his age or ten years younger becomes almost impossible. Moreover, if the woman has to be attractive, the odds become even less in a man’s favor. In contrast, Russian women obsess about their looks, where women in Western countries tend not to care. For example, obesity among Western women has reached almost 50% of the female population, and dressing in sensuous or appealing clothes is being looked down upon. In conclusion, comparing the situation in Russia with the situation in Western countries, there is no doubt that a single man who wants to meet an attractive woman is ten times better off trying his luck in Russia than any other Western country.

The sections above provided a pretty clear picture that for single Western men who want to meet an attractive single woman in any Western country, the odds are pretty bad no matter how you toss and turn the coin. And especially if you are a man over 40, where it becomes more or less impossible. Thus, Russia as a country provides an opportunity to meet an attractive Russian Bride that is difficult to beat due to Russia’s demographical and cultural circumstances. Nonetheless, there are even more reasons than described above, to why you find so many Russian Brides looking for marriage on international dating or marriage agency websites. In Russian culture, family is still the number one priority for women; thus, even though a Russian woman is successful in her career or financially, she still is considered a failure if she doesn’t have a husband and children. Furthermore, in contrast to Western women, it seems that Russian women still see value in having a man in the house when it comes to bringing up children and especially boys.

Studies in the United States and Western Europe have recognized that when especially boys grow up without a father in the house, the chances of success later in life decrease dramatically. For example, young men brought up by single mothers are 3-4 times more likely to commit crimes, use drugs, go to prison, and the list goes on. Thus, even though Russian men often abuse Russian women, Russian women still prefer having a man in the house to discipline the children. Also, making ends meet on a single salary can be hard in Russia, especially if you live outside the big cities, which most people in Russia do. Furthermore, even though Russian women are highly educated, finding a fulfilling job position or career can be challenging. Russia is by large male-dominated when it comes to most aspects of Russian society, and therefore, women are not prioritized within sudden areas of culture and society, including the workforce. Again adding to why Russian women are so motivated to get married.

Today on international dating or Russian marriage agency websites, you find hundreds of thousands of single Russian Brides hoping to find someone special internationally; however, on local dating websites in Russia, you find millions of women looking for a Russian man. Thus, proving that the institution of marriage and meaningful relationships is still very noticeable within Russian culture. And that for the vast majority of Russian women living alone is something they rather not do, in contrast to Western women, where the situation is quite different. If we sum up the reasons you find so many Russian Brides looking for marriage both internationally and on local Russian dating websites, we identify a whole range of reasons, from the demographical situation in Russia to more cultural factors. Nonetheless, finding a Russian Bride to meet, date, and marry is very archivable for single Western men and a lot less difficult than finding an attractive woman at home.

The traditional man who searches for a single Russian Bride on an international dating or Russian marriage agency website is between 40 and 55, he has children, and most often, he is divorced or separated. Furthermore, he has been single for a while and has tried to find someone to share his life with on local dating websites, through friends, or in his local community. He often has gone on some dates and maybe tried to live with a woman for a while, but nothing has worked out. Also, most men searching for a Russian Bride have gone through a hard breakup, where both they and their children have suffered, and thus they know everything about how painful a modern marriage can be. Today, most Western marriages are brought to an end by women, and thus, for many men getting a divorce is something they did not choose. In the United States and Western Europe today, the chance of divorce is around 50%, i.e., the odds of growing old with somebody to share life are not great.

Also, men living alone suffer serious health consequences both physically and mentally. For example, for men, chronic loneliness, isolation, and living alone increase the risk of early death by 26 – 32%. Moreover, lonely men are more likely to have poor cardiovascular health and to get heart disease. They have an increased risk of stroke, obesity, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and the list goes on. Whereas when it comes to women living alone, they don’t suffer nearly as hard. Hence, there is much more at stake for a single man than for a single woman, which brings us to the concern that many men have when desiring to meet a Russian Bride; do Russian Bride marriages last longer than traditional Western marriages? The short answer is yes. A marriage to a Russian Bride is much more likely to last. According to various statistics on marriages between Western men and Eastern women, there is over double the chance of a lasting marriage or relationship than a marriage between a Western man and a Western woman.

When it comes to a marriage between a Western man and an Eastern woman, the chance of a lifelong relationship is 80%, i.e., there is only a 20% chance of divorce compared to Western marriages, where there is a 50% chance of divorce. The causes for this difference are multiple, but some of the more notable reasons have to do with the cultural mindset of Eastern women together with the fact that most of these marriages are made later in life, and thus, especially the man will take a different approach to his marriage compared to when he, e.g., got married in his mid-twenties. Also, as we described above, being married is something Russian women desire and something they fight for, and thus, they are more motivated to find a solution to problems rather than putting gasoline on the fire as many Western women tend to do.

In the sections above, we went through some statistical facts about Russian Brides regarding their demographics, the odds of successfully finding a Bride, and some differences between Western countries and Russia and its women. Now we would like to draw your attention to why Russian women prefer Western men over Russian men. As we already mentioned, Russian men are not the best caretakers of either themselves or the women they live with. As a matter of fact, men in Russia not only drink too much, they also tend to be violent against women. Domestic violence in Russia is an enormous problem. It is estimated that each year 14,000 women in Russia die as a result of domestic violence, which is over nine times the amount of domestic violence deaths in the United States, though the population in Russia is under half the size of the U.S. When it comes to alcohol abuse among men in Russia, the numbers are also staggering. It is estimated that around 20% of the entire population in Russia can be classified as alcoholics, with the vast majority being men.

According to the World Health Organization, one in five men in Russia dies of alcohol-related causes, compared to 6.2 percent of all men globally. However, violence and alcohol abuse is not all when it comes to Russian men. They also tend to be chauvinistic, and as fathers, they don’t take responsibility and, most of the time, leave women to handle everything around the household. Also, Russian men are known to be notoriously unfaithful in their relationships, which for them is relatively easy due to the vast surplus of women in the country. Anyway, you most likely get the picture that Russian men are no good. Thus for most Russian women, the idea of marrying a Western man seems a great alternative to marrying a Russian man. With the emerge of the internet and wider access to international mainstream media, women in Russia have gained a perception of Western men to be far more carrying and a lot less abusive than what they are used to regarding men. Furthermore, as Western men don’t drink nearly as much as Russian men, it also makes them more attractive.

Western men are also more faithful to their women, and they are better at taking care of their children. Socio-economic factors also play a role when it comes to Western men. Salaries in Russia are low compared to Western standards, and thus for most Russian women, Western men are seen as well off no matter being a truck driver or a CEO. Likewise, when it comes to Western countries, they are perceived as attractive places to live due to better healthcare and less crime than you find in Russia. And thus, a much better place to bring up children and start a family. As mentioned earlier, Russian women tend to be highly educated, and with the majority of Russian women holding a university degree, a Western country also provides better opportunities for women to have a career. In conclusion, when going over the facts about Russian men and the general situation in Russia, it becomes rather obvious why Russian Brides prefer a Western man over a Russian man.
