Single Russian Brides, What You Need To Know (Insights)

Having given you an introduction to Single Russian Brides and what you need to know, we now go into detail about some of the matters to consider if you desire to meet a single Russian Bride. Initially, and to get it out of the way, there is no such thing as so-called “Mail Order Brides.” The term “Mail Order Brides” was cornered back in the 1990s, when the Soviet Union collapsed and Russia went through a time of turbulence. At the time, especially women and children suffered hardship and distress to a level most Westerners have difficulty comprehending. Consequently, very few women living in areas of Russia where there seemed no hope were willing to leave Russia behind to live with a man they had never met in person. Also, there was no such thing as the internet at the time, so if a single Russian woman desired to meet a Western man, she had to run a classified personals advertisement or what in the UK is called a Lonely Hearts advertisement to get to know a Western man.

Therefore, all correspondence took place through the regular postal service that in Russia was unreliable at the time, to say the least. However, on the rare occasions a Russian woman went to live in, e.g., the United States with a man she had never met, the media caught the story and labeled the women doing it as “Mail Order Brides.” Even today, with the emergence of the internet where you can see pictures, videos, and use live video chat and thus get a much better impression of the person you are communicating with, nobody chose to marry a man they haven’t met in person spent some time with. Moreover, in Russia today, people generally don’t suffer from the lack of necessities they used to under communism or right after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus for a Russian woman looking for a partner internationally, it is not a social-economic issue that makes her search for a man; it is a cultural issue.

Nevertheless, even today, many men have the misconception that you can order a Russian bride online, and magically the bride will turn up at the doorstep a month or so later. However, this perception is very offensive to Russian women and something they reject wholeheartedly. Also, in the cases where men take the uninformed position that they can take for granted that a Single Russian Bride will marry them just because they live in a Western country, they go wrong every time. Thus if you want to win a Russian Bride’s heart, you have to do it by intellect and finesse. Furthermore, most Single Brides cataloged on Russian Bride agency websites have a university degree and job positions and are very capable and competent; thus, if a man assumes that he is a god’s gift to women in Russia, he will instantly be disregarded as a potential partner.

After providing you some truths about Single Russian Brides, we now turn our attention to why you find the staggering amount of Beautiful Single Russian Brides as you do when you search the many Russian marriage agencies or international dating websites online. To many Western men who visit these websites, it often seems illogical or too good to be true that women who are that attractive can’t find or meet a man in their home country. One would think that men would be lining up to take any of these women on a date. However, the truth of the matter is that finding a husband or partner in Russia can be difficult and sometimes even impossible for many Russian women. To begin with, Russia is a vast country covering one-eighth of the world’s landmasses; it has 11 times zones and a population of around 144 million people. Thus you identify many different cultures and peoples within Russia as well as socio-economic differences.

Demographically women in Russia outnumber men in great numbers, and from that fact alone, for a woman to find a man is uphill from the getgo. Men in Russia die much earlier than women, and they often live hard lives, especially when you get out of the big cities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg. For example, in mining cities that you find all over Russia, men die some 20-25 years earlier than women. Also, it is no secret that men in Russia like to drink, which causes an avalanche of health-related sicknesses. Thus, in smaller cities and towns all over Russia, there are a lot more women than men. When it comes to the big cities in Russia, the demographic numbers levels outs, but there is still a surplus of women. Another reason you find so many Single Russian Brides on international dating and marriage agency websites is the cultural aspect of being a woman in Russia. As we mentioned earlier, women in Russian are highly educated and competent but finding a fulfilling and well-paid job, especially outside the big cities, is difficult.

In general, Russia is male-dominated when it comes to most matters in society. Consequently, men tend to get paid more and hold higher positions even though women might be more competent and reliable. Hence, to many Russian women, the dream of living somewhere where they are appreciated is big. Moreover, many men in Russia can, from time to time, be aggressive towards women, especially when they are drinking or find themselves in situations where they don’t have a job, etc. Thus, for many Russian women who are married, living with a Russian man is like living with a bomb waiting to go off. In contrast, women in Russia perceive Western men to be much more stable and emotionally better equipped to, e.g., raise children and treat a woman with respect. Thus, for many Russian women who dream about starting a family, the idea of doing with a Western man is often appealing.

Dating a Russian Bride, what is it like? Most men who search for a Single Russian Bride online have asked themselves the question. There is no doubt if you are dating a Russian Bride, you most likely are dating a beautiful woman, and the chances of her being highly educated and intelligent are high. Thus, where does that leave you? In this section, we’ll examine some of the characteristics of dating a Russian Bride from the perspective that you have met a single Russian woman through a marriage agency or international dating website. Thus, the first step will be to go to Russia to meet in person. Traveling to Russia from most European countries is fairly easy and inexpensive, and of course, traveling from North America or Australia, for that matter, is a much longer and more expensive trip. However, upon arrival in Russia, you now stand in front of the woman you have been communicating with for months, and everything has all of a sudden become very real. Also, suppose you have met the woman you are meeting through a Russian marriage agency.

In that case, she does not speak good English as marriage agencies provide translations for their members to overcome any language barriers when a Western man meets a Russian woman online. Thus, in the beginning, when dating a Russian Bride, misunderstanding does happen simply because of the language. Also, the language barrier can create situations where describing sudden things and feelings can be difficult. Nonetheless, after a week or two where you have spent time together, things tend to run a lot more smoothly. When it comes to the cultural difference between a Russian and Western woman, dating a Russian Bride is different. First of all, women in Russia are old-school, so they expect the man to behave as a man used to do some 50 years ago in the West, i.e., it is the man’s responsibility to take all initiatives regarding dating activities. Also, you have to prove that you are serious about the woman you are meeting, and thus, a Russian woman will often test how far a man is willing to go for her.

For women in Russia trusting men can be difficult, and thus, sometimes, Russian women can come across as reserved or indifferent towards men no matter the situation. Thus, proving that you are trustworthy and reliable is very important when you start dating a Russian Bride. Likewise, you have to show you know how to behave like a gentleman and that you appreciate being the patriarch, i.e., women in Russia, in contrast to Western women, prefer a man to be masculine, self-confident, and capable. Furthermore, intellectually, if you want to impress a Russian woman, you must know what you are talking about. Thus, it is a good idea to study some Russian history and things that you know the woman you are meeting is interested in. Finally, in Russian culture, the concept of casual sex is looked down upon. Thus, where most Western women are rather relaxed when it comes to casual sex, women in Russia don’t tend to sleep with a man before knowing that he is serious about her. Here is a link to a blog we wrote about Russian women and sex.

In the section above, we went through some of the characteristics of dating a Russian Bride. Here, we go through some of the considerations Russian women have before getting married to a foreigner and if it is expected that dating a Russian woman always has to end with a marriage. Many men who go to Russia to meet a Single Russian Bride have an idea that they would like to get married; however, when it comes down to it, sometimes it can seem a very big step to take with someone living so far away and that they only have known for some limited time. To begin with, most Russian women you find on international dating or marriage agency websites are looking for marriage and not just a dating relationship. However, in many cases, there is no need to rush anything. For Russian women, marriage is seen as a bond between a man and a woman and something they take seriously under the eyes of God. Thus, from their perspective, if you are serious about a woman, you will ask her to marry you.

Nevertheless, Russian women tend to be very pragmatic, and thus having a long-term relationship for some time is what many Western men choose to do before getting married. In addition, couples who decide to wait to get married go on vacations together, or sometimes the man travels to Russia for 3-4 months to try to live with the woman he is dating in a rented apartment. However, after some time, the question of marriage can not be postponed any longer, and it is either to break up or tie the knot. Furthermore, worldwide it is only a few countries where a Russian woman can move directly without being married to the man to whom she is moving. And in the cases where it is possible often a due diligence will take place to investigate if the relationship is genuine, which sometimes can take a long time and with no guarantee of success. Hence, most couples chose to get married as everything tends to go more smoothly. Another issue regarding marriage has to do with the woman’s need to feel secure and safe.

Being married is more reassuring to a Russian woman than if you are not married and just are dating. Leaving country, job, family, and friends behind is a big decision, and thus it is naturally seen as a potential risk. Likewise, if there are children involved, a Russian woman has to know for sure that she is not going to end up on the sidewalk and left to fend for herself and her children in case the man all of a sudden decide that he has changed his mind a week after her arrival to her new country. In conclusion, and to answer the question, do all Russian Brides want to get married? The answer is that the Russian woman you find on a Russian marriage agency or international dating website wants to get married. However, having a long-distance relationship for a period of time is normally not a problem, and it is something many couples chose to do to see if getting married is the right thing to do. If you want to learn more about what you can expect from being married to a Russian woman, here is a link to a blog about just that.
