Russian Ukrainian Women & Thai Women – Very Different?

Dear friends,

Many Western men might wonder whether Russian and Ukrainian women are like Thai women, but, as a Ukrainian woman, I know that there are some big differences!

There is no doubt that family values of the both cultures might be similiar… While we might all seem to be exotic, one of the most attractive traits about Ukrainian and Russian women is our devotion to our families. When we get married, our husbands and children become our top priority. Family values are the key to understanding Ukrainian and Thai culture. Family is extremely important and many old traditions are still very much a part of family life today.

But what is the difference between Russian / Ukrainian and Thai women?

According to my online research, the dating culture of Thai women has always been a modest one despite popular rhetoric. Cross-cultural marriages between Caucasian and Thai women have only recently become commonplace fixtures in Thai communities. Women are demure, while searching for a man of quality to become a part of her life. Treating a partner with undeniable respect, these women are rewarded with true commitment.

Russian / Ukrainian women vs Thai women

1.) Career and finances

In my experience, Ukrainian and Russian woman also very hardworking. Even if we have no experience in working in an office, for example, we are happy to help our husbands in their businesses if that is what they need.

15-20 years ago, Ukrainian and Russian women married very early (18-23 years were considered the best years of marrying). But nowadays, Ukrainians and Russian, like most Europeans, marry later. This is due to the fact that modern men and women want first to study and acquire a profession in order to become financially independent and able to support a family.

A Thai girl works to please her partner in every way a woman should. The more she is with her partner the greater the partners caretaker role becomes due to her economic dependency. In the Thai culture, her home life is her primary concern. Therefore, she is not expected to search for outside employment, unless it is the wish of her partner.

This is specific to finances. Thai women do not have access to opportunities offered to women in the “Western World” or do not have the inclination to pursue a career outside of the home.

It is clear to these very smart women that if they wish to continue to live comfortably they must find a partner with the financial means to care for them, before moving beyond their early twenties.

2.) Care taking is expected?

In Thailand, men expect to provide for their women. If, a woman works. She may have a small business. If, not a man might desire her company rather than having her out in the work force.

This is a personal decision. In the latter case, she is given a daily or monthly stipend or salary, known in Thai as an “ngen duan”. Caring for the woman is a strong part of the Thai culture. It is expected; a man marrying into a Thai family cares for his spouse. The active participation in family activities is expected. Social events are very important in the Thai family. The union is not only to the woman but also to the family.

In the initial process of asking for the woman’s hand, a man makes a solemn promise to take care of the woman. Thai women are cared for by their parents and trained to give great attention to their partners. They are quite beautiful and unaccustomed to the world of finance, which is required to pay mortgages, buy food and maintain a lifestyle.

The same expectations might be found in Russia and Ukraine. Men expect to provide for their Russian and Ukrainian women and expect to be a head of the family.

2.) Issue of sexuality

Another difference between Russian and Ukrainian women and women from Thailand is our sexuality.

People around the world regard Thailand as a visiting point for sexual pleasures. However, the actual culture of sexuality is modest. Thai women are quite chaste and stay with one partner. The subject is not open for dinner conversation.

Women are expected to remain untouched, sexually, for respectability. The same level of modesty appreciated in other parts of the world is no less expected, in Thailand. A woman of lose morals is frowned upon in Thailand and loses her position as a respectable woman.

However, Western influences have opened the option of cohabitation before marriage in the younger generation of Thai residents.

What about Russian and Ukrainian women’s sexuality?

Thus, the Ukrainian and Russian woman’s attitude towards sex, hugs and kisses differs from the Western woman’s attitude.You should know that our culture is rather conservative (the women are shy and do not kiss at the first date usually).

Many readers write me that Ukrainian and Russian ladies are very shy, cannot or do not want to hug or kiss Western men, and it is really difficult sometimes to find out whether the woman is into you or not.

Polygamy is common and we learn to get used to and love it early on in dating. I know this may be a shocker for some of you men in the western world with our culture being so different.

As you can see, Russian / Ukrainian and Thai women have something in common. On the other hand, there are very many cultural differencies. In my view, it is really hard to compare these both nationalities. Cultural differencies would dominate and we are really different.

What are your thoughts on this issue? Any experiences with dating Russian / Ukrainian and Thai women to share here?

Feel free to comment this interview if you have any questions or additions to it.

Motherhood in Life of Ukrainian Women

The happiest day in my life was the day when I became a mother. Like many Ukrainian Russian women, I eagerly anticipated the birth of my son, and have been happily raising him every since. Motherhood is a huge focus for women here in the Ukraine. While women in Western countries might see raising children as something that is a chore, or a task to be handled between parties, I know that there is no greater joy than spending time with my child.

The most important job that any woman can have here in the Ukraine, or, really, anywhere in the world, is to help to raise the next generation. That is why Ukrainian women, like myself, have not thrown out traditional family values in favor of letting someone else raise our children while we go out to work for someone else. It just does not make any sense to us!

Being a mother means much more than just spending time with my child. It also means making sure that my son grows up to know his history as a Ukrainian and to have the same traditional family values that were instilled in me. He will grow up to be a gentleman who both appreciates hard work like his country men and treats women well.

Although he is not very old yet, he already knows that when we have company over, it is a time to treat our guests very well! I always cook our favorite family dishes and serve them to our guests. I love to watch with pride as my son helps our female guests to their seats and listens intently to them as they speak. I know then that my hard work to teach him to value the lessons of his elders have truly taken hold for him.

Why Do Ukraine Ladies In Their 30’s & 40’s Look For A Soulmate Abroad?

Dear friends,

in the modern world, is seems that men are looking for women who are younger than their age group. Women in their age group seem uninteresting or are perhaps too old for these men’s taste. While this is true of some men, it does not appear true of all men. Some men are interested in women from their own age group. For the Ukraine ladies looking for a soulmate that have reached their 30’s or 40’s, the fact that some men want to settle with a woman their own age is exciting news.

Many might wonder why beautiful women from the Ukraine and Russia turn away from their homelands to look for their perfect soulmate. After all, these women are leaving behind their families, friends and everything they’ve known for an unknown country.

In my opinion, part of the answer is simply that Ukraine ladies and Russian ladies are beautiful. Too many beautiful women in the same area leaves the men in their homelands very spoiled. As a result, many women in their 30’s and 40’s are less appealing than younger women. The men are aware that they can date or marry a woman much younger than their age group, so they do not try getting to know a woman who is their own age.

Women from the Ukraine or Russia who are in their 30s and 40s find it difficult to find a man in their home country who is nice, willing to settle down and will remain faithful after the marriage because temptation is rampant in their home country.

Another factor that Ukraine ladies face when looking for a life partner at home relates to the culture of the country. Women in the Ukraine or Russia often marry young when compared to women from countries like the United States. By the time these women are 30 years old, they are often previously married, divorced and have children. Men who are willing to give women in their 30s and 40s a chance might run from the idea of children, which adds another consideration to the mix for these women.

In my opinion, Ukrainian women turn to the Internet and look for love abroad as a result of the complications of finding a loyal partner at home. These women are not only loving and tender hearted, but they offer the comforts of home and experience of family life that many other women might not offer. Modern Ukrainian men might not want the responsibility of a family and only a few are willing to offer the love Ukrainian women are looking for.

I know that Ukrainian women in their 30s and 40s are looking for a husband abroad who will love and cherish her, just as any woman hopes to find in her marriage. Taking a risk on a soulmate from abroad is worth it if she finds the man who will love her.

A Sad Story of a Ukrainian Bride

Dear Friends,
Thousands of young women from the Philippines, Thailand, Russia and Ukraine dream of a better life for themselves and their families so why not consider an arranged marriage. Certainly life as a mail-order bride couldn’t be worse than the type of hard living most of these women are already used to. Or could it?

Consider the story of Oksana Makarova: picked from a group of 200 or so other Ukrainian and Russian women from Odessa, Ukraine and the surrounding area. Oksana was wined an dined by a Florida doctor who was on a “marriage tour” and specifically set up to provide well-to-do single men with a bride from Ukraine.

The attraction for most of these overweight, balding, middle-aged suitors is the chance to meet a submissive and willing young woman who will dedicate herself to their husband’s every wish and desire. Not to mention the chance for a green card and extended benefits for the bride’s entire family. While it might look good on paper it rarely pans out that way.

For Oskana this pre-arranged marriage was akin to winning the lottery: a good life for her and her son from a previous one-night stand. Whether the other Ukrainian and Russian brides had it better or worse is something she’ll never know.

In short order, Oskana was introduced to her future husband Carl – a doctor – who whisked her away from the cold confines of the Ukraine and took her back to his home in Florida. Whatever redeeming qualities Carl exhibited when he met Oskana in Odessa, Ukraine quickly evaporated into a maze of domineering behaviour for both her and her son.

Not Exactly the Promised Land

The addition of another baby did not make her life any more complete. In fact, Oskana had an even harder life than that which she left behind. With limited English and no education, she was basically reduced to maid, housewife and mother. Cut off from her family and culture with no friends to call her own, Oskana was trapped in a marriage with a man she did not love in a world she did not fit into.

Carl’s treatment of his Ukrainian wife and their children continued a downward spiral until domestic violence became common place, It wasn’t until social services and the local authorities stepped in and forced a change did Oskana’s life finally took a turn for the better.

Legally separated from her husband, Oskana was able to get a divorce and child-support for her kids. Her green card came through and life b finally stepping in. Oskana was legally separated fro her husband and eventually able to divorce. She finally got her green card and social services did its part to get her and her family into low-income housing.

Life Could Only Get Better 🙂

Over time, Oskana’s language skills improved, she got a job, went to school and in general began to assimilate herself and her family into America in way that was completely different from her time married to Carl as one of dozens of foreign brides.


Fast forward to the present: Oskana is now an American citizen and living a better life. Certainly there are other women like her: brides from foreign countries the world over, who dream of a better life but more often than not come up short in their dream of a better life.

Do Ukrainian ladies date only white men?

Dear Gentlemen,

I am sure that many men are interested in this question. Do Ukrainian ladies for marriage date only European and American men? Don’t they want to marry men from China, Africa, India, and Arab countries? Why not? Are they so afraid that cultural differences in this case are too striking? I’ll try to answer this question in order to help non-Caucasian men to understand Ukrainian women better and win their heart.

As you know, 95% of the population of Ukraine is white. Based on historical events, there are still some prejudices against non-Caucasian men in Ukraine and Russia. As you know, the former Soviet Union was closed for foreigners for a long time. The country became more or less a closed society; therefore, Russian and Ukrainian girls could date only their men. But despite the fact that Ukraine is an independent and open country since 20 years, the Ukrainians still consider non-Caucasian people exotic. This means that non-Caucasian men are somewhat extraordinary for Ukrainian ladies.

For most women from Ukraine (particularly if they come from a small town), dating an African, Indian or a Chinese man can mean an unusual experience. It is still rarely that Ukrainian women date and get married to non-European or non-American men who are not white.

From my personal experience, I can tell you, the appearance plays a secondary role in the (intercultural) relationship. If a man has a good personality and self-confidence and he knows how to treat a Ukrainian lady he won’t have any problems and difficulties to win the heart of a woman.

Both parties (both men and women) need to show more tolerance and sensibility towards their cultures. Nowadays, we are extremely focused on the appearance and the race that we forget what things are really important in our life.

Dear Gentlemen, don’t forget that Ukrainian women look for true love, security, respect, and care abroad (things what Ukrainian men are not able to give them). If you can give your woman from Ukraine all these things you are a winner already (no matter what skin color you have!!!).

Cultural Similarities between Ukrainian Women and Latin Women

Dear Friends,

I have been wondered why Western men cannot find a woman for marriage and life in their home countries. The possible answer could be that many Western men are growing weary of Western women who operating at a modern, full-speed-ahead approach to life. This has led to a large number of Western men turning to other areas of the world in search for a female companion they can relate to, and have a possibility of marriage and a solid family life with.

Are Ukrainian women similar culturally to Latin women?

Ukrainian women and Latin women have many cultural similarities that appeal to Western men who are seeking a family-oriented woman with old-fashioned values and morals. Different cultures produce different types of adult men and women. Whereas many Western women are focused on their careers and accomplishing rigorous goals, a big percentage of Ukrainian women and Latin women are still focused on family values and personal growth within their marriage and family.

These morals and philosophies held by many Latin women and Ukrainian women are admirable and are morals that result in them being supportive, loving, and sophisticated wives and mothers. Attractive, fit women from both the Ukraine and Latin America take time for their appearance, have a fierce pride in how they look and feel, and enjoy maintaining a solid and healthy home life for their husbands and families.

With different accents, different styles of cooking, different fashion sense, and facial looks, Ukrainian women and Latin women are physically vastly different; but they also often operate under the same underlying theme that family comes first. Ukrainian women and Latin women alike can be educated, articulate, beautiful, witty, and still provide a loving family home with attention to the things that are most important in life.

Western men who enjoy a slower pace of life at home where their wives are not more focused on careers than they are on their families will very possibly appreciate the more domestic and conscientious views of both Ukrainian women and Latin women. Deciding which culture of women will best suit a specific man will be a fun and interesting endeavor and one that can produce positive and happy results for decades to come.

I know that many men may feel apprehensive as to searching through other cultures for a future bride, but many men have done so and have been ecstatically happy. Having the ability to search for women with solid family values in other cultures is possible and before long, I am sure that you will have found the perfect match for you!

The temperament of Ukrainian ladies

Dear Friends,

It may be true that women of certain nationalities share unique personality traits. Certainly, we Ukrainian women are known for adoring our families, liking to look as beautiful as we can and appreciating men who know how to appreciate us. Unlike the hot-tempered, perhaps overly melodramatic Italian ladies, we know how to channel our passion into more appropriate avenues.

A Ukrainian lady has no shortage of passion, but she focuses it in a positive way on those she loves most in the whole world — her husband and children. When it comes to protecting her loved ones, the image of a fierce mother bear comes immediately to my mind.

We Ukrainian women, like other European ladies, care about how we look. Doing our nails, taking the time to style our hair and keeping up with the latest fashions are very important to us. You won’t find us lounging around in ill-fitting, sloppy jeans and sweat shirts. It is a matter of personal pride to enjoy looking beautiful and dressing up, especially for those we love.

In my opinion, Western women could learn something from us in this matter. When you keep yourself looking feminine and attractive, you show your family, especially your husband and his friends, that you value their opinion of you, and you would never want to be less than you could be around them.

Ukrainian women are hard workers. Our lives have made us that way, and we expect to contribute our share to the family in every way we can. While we see our primary roles as mother and homemaker, when the children are old enough, we will want to go back into the workforce and work on our careers. The idea of sitting back and “being taken care of” in a marriage is a foreign concept to the strong-minded Ukrainian woman.

Because we like to look nice for our men, we also appreciate sincere compliments, especially when we go out of our way for you. Like any woman, we want to feel valued and noticed. Don’t try to pretend with us or manipulate us with false words. We will open our heart and soul to you and speak our minds honestly, but we want to be treated with the same respect. Ukrainian women have so much to offer and really ask so little in return. I think that any man who wins the love of such a woman has won a great prize.

10 myths about Ukrainian & Russian women for marriage

Dear friends,

There are many myths that need to be dispelled in your mind if you are seriously thinking about a Russian or Ukrainian women for marriage. I’ve collected ten most widely-spread myths and stereotypes about Russian and Ukrainian ladies:

Myth # 1. First of all, the concept of foreign brides is anything but a new phenomenon. The idea of foreign brides was first introduced during the mid 1800s along the American frontier as men were immigrating to the Eastern shore, then moving West across the wild terrain in order to claim a piece of it for themselves.

Many of those men found wealth and power as they claimed land, found gold, or established businesses, but with the scarcity of women who chose to go that route many were lacking the company of a wife. The desire to settle down and start a family created the need that mail order bride services filled.

Myth # 2. Another myth that is commonly heard by those that work in the Russian and Ukrainian dating industry is that these women are desperate to get out of the land of their birth and marry a wealthy foreigner.

The fact is that Russia and the Ukraine have a shortage of men. There are about 8 men for every 10 women in those countries, and their culture is very marriage-oriented. And since there just aren’t enough men to marry, many Russian and Ukrainian women seek marriage to foreigners.

Myth # 3. Some will say that being a foreign bride can be a dangerous proposition. There are a handful of recent cases of American men murdering their foreign bride…some of which were done quite brutally.

But the opposite is also true. There is also a recent case of a foreign bride murdering her husband once she arrived in America. Despite attempts to get psychological information from both the would-be brides and the interested potential husbands, you should always consider what reasons your future partner has for choosing this method of seeking companionship.

Myth # 4. Another myth says that you have to be extraordinarily wealthy in order to qualify for a Ukrainian bride.

The facts are these: to marry a Ukrainian woman you must have a budget of between 7 to 10-thousand dollars and the ability to travel to Ukraine. If you don’t have that money to spend on this process it will be difficult or impossible for you to find a Ukrainian wife.

Myth # 5. Another myth suggests that there is a higher divorce rate among those who enter into dating services to find their bride, but in fact the opposite is true.

The USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) performed a study that showed a full 80 percent of marriages arranged through International dating services have lasted throughout the years that have been subject to report, where the average for most marriages hovers around 50 percent.

Myth # 6. Despite the wild claims to the contrary, there are only really two types of international marriage agencies.

The first sells the contact information of their female clients and encourages those men and women to contact each other before moving forward, while the second arranges group tours for men who want to travel around a foreign country and meet as many as several hundred women at social events arranged by the company.

Myth # 7. Another misconception is that Russian and Ukrainian women are employed just to chat with men online. Some woman appear to be online at all times, or during certain times of the day as if they were punching a clock, but that is a false assumption. All women who sign up for these agencies affirm that they do not receive any compensation for participating on the site, and are free to leave at any time.

Myth # 8. There are many cultural differences between Americans and the Russian and Ukrainian women that typically engage in the International dating programs, and one major one is the age at which one settles down. Many Americans cannot understand how an 18 year old Russian girl can be serious about marriage, but getting married is a major priority in Russia so women are encouraged to wed at a young age.

Myth # 9. Some claim that these women have nothing to lose, and everything to gain from becoming a foreign bride, but think of it from the perspective of a Ukrainian woman. You have a life, friends, family, a career, and a full life…and yet you are willing to give that all up because marriage is such an important milestone for your life. These women give up a lot in order to be a wife of a Western man.

Myth # 10. The final stereotype I hope to dispel is that these women are vapid, uneducated shirks. Take the time to get to know any of the many Russian and Ukrainian women who are looking for their soulmate, and you’ll soon discover for yourself the truth.

Marriage with a Ukrainian woman – slavery or an equal relationship

Dear friends,

Marriage with foreign women have been a part of American (Western) history since the beginning of time. Today, “mail order brides” as a definition still exist; as for me, that is a very sad fact. This term is very humiliating and repulsive to us Ukrainian women. Many Western men looking for a woman from Ukraine still believe that marriage with a Ukrainian woman means so-called slavery or an “easy” marriage with a beautiful woman who cannot fend for themselves.

I am sure that marriage with a Ukrainian woman is not based upon exploitation and slavery. In my opinion, Ukrainian online dating is an unique method of meeting and marrying someone raised differently and in different parts of the world. In most cases they are searching for someone to spend the rest of their life with. They are in need of a partner to love. Those who are lucky find their match. Others might keep on searching for an equal partnership.

I have a German male friend who spent a great deal of time and money searching for a Ukrainian or Russian woman. He was not lucky with his previous marriages. He had been divorced twice. He wanted to find a special woman to share his life with and felt he would have more luck by looking in another country. He made a connection with a Ukrainian dating service.

I have to say honestly that his search for a wife from Ukraine was costly. It took a long time and several trips to finally meet the right family and the right woman to marry and bring back home. He remained in Ukraine for weeks while getting to know each other. Her family approved. They married before leaving for Germany. They fell in love, he later told me.

“This was a match made in heaven,” he said. She helped him, and he sent her to school. She learned how to drive, and he bought her a car. He was never this happy he once said to me. She was not out to exploit him and neither was her family.

In a quest such as this there is no one way to know who is out to exploit whom. It could have been the one searching, or the one waiting to be found. There could be evil intent in anyone, but not always in everyone who is genuinely searching for a Ukrainian woman for marriage.

The couple I previously mentioned has now been happily married for many years. He paid to send her to college. She now has her Master’s Degree. He taught her how to drive a car, and he bought her a brand new convertible. She cooked and took care of him. She kept a clean house. They have become partners in life and in love. I would call this an equal relationship, wouldn’t you? They met, learned to know each other and fell deeply in love. This cannot possibly be referred to as exploitation and never had been from the moment they met.

There are known instances when two people, born and raised in the same country, join hands in matrimony with evil intention. The groom could be rich and the bride might have been poor. He might have earned his Doctorate while she never attended high school or earned any degree. No “mail order bride” marriage might have been involved in cases like this and yet this type of marriage was based on exploitation.

How Ukrainian and Russian ladies view dating & relationship

Dear friends,

From my personal experience, I would mention that a lot of Ukrainian/Russian-Western relationships break up because Western men and Ukrainian women view dating and relationship in different ways. I have seen many times that although a German man and a Ukrainian woman like/love each other very much they have a lot of problems because people have different ideas about relationship.

Today I want to tell you how Ukrainian and Russian girls view dating, what they expect from men, and how they want to be treated by men.

Dating Ukrainian and Russian ladies provides Western men with a great way to find the love of their life. As you know already, Ukrainian and Russian women are different than their Western (American, German or Canadian counterparts), and men should keep in mind that the cultural differences that play a role in the way that the women from Ukraine and Russia react to dating and courtship. Many Ukrainian women are grounded in their traditional culture. There are many myths that are circulating about these Eastern women, but men will be successful when they realize how the Russian and Ukrainian culture influences the way these women think.

I may be wrong if I say that most modern Western women are very career-oriented and look for opportunities to be realized professionally. So when they meet a man they are interested in, the women in the Western world see him primarily as a cohabitant (nobody wants to be alone). If a Ukrainian woman dates a man, she sees him as a potential husband and father of her children.

The next point is power that is the essence of lovely Ukrainian and Russian ladies. Unlike Western women, Ukrainian and Russian women are proud of their female power. They draw their strength from their femininity. They know they are strong and are sure to use this fact to their advantage. For Ukrainian and Russian women, the feminine is a virtue that they love. Ukrainian and Russian women need to be approached differently because of the way that they view their sex. Western women are quick to ask a man out, but this is not the case with beautiful girls from Ukraine and Russia.

Furthermore, I have observed in Germany that Western men have false ideas how to win the heart of Ukrainian and Russian women. They think that it is absolutely enough to make nice compliments, to smile, and to tell funny jokes. Maybe, it is enough…. for a Western woman, but not for a Ukrainian woman.

We Ukrainian ladies wish that men show the strength and confidence to approach first. Men must also be able to treat women from Ukraine with the respect that their sex deserves. They are strong and powerful and should be regarded as such. This same behavior also needs to extend to the way that a man treats her family. Family is an essential component of life in Ukraine and Russia. Women are proud of their heritage, and their men should also be respectful and loving of the family roots that she has.

Shyness is a sure sign of a man who is not in touch with his true self. Reserved men are bound to lose out when they are dealing with these women. We want to feel loved and desired. Chasing these women will help to make a relationship more exciting and will strengthen the courting process.

Moreover, this is very important to us if men show initiative. Ukrainian women will not initiate phone calls. Ideal brides will not, but tramps may. These women know what they are about and will wait for a man who will fulfill their needs. Time and effort is no object when these ladies are looking for a husband. They will spare no expense in their quest to find the perfect man to spend their lives with. Men will know that they have truly found a prized princess when they manage to attract a Ukrainian and Russian woman to be their wife.

In conclusion, I should mention that it is essential that Western men realize the differences in culture and upbringing that influences the way these beautiful women think. They are in tune with their feminine aspect and expect their men to be in tune with their masculinity. Shy men will get nowhere. Ukrainian ladies want a strong man who is not afraid of their beauty and power.

Origins and Meanings of the Most Popular Names for Russian & Ukrainian Girls

Dear friends,

What’s in a name? The name a parent bestows upon their child is of special significance. Wrapped in the names a parent chooses to identify their child are a mother and father’s hopes and dreams for their child, perhaps a bit of family history, and personality traits they may have already identified in their newly born little one. In Russia and Ukraine, several names have risen to the top to become the most popular girl’s names, these are: Natasha, Elena, Tanja, Olga, Katja, and Oksana. Read further to uncover the meanings and origins of these well-loved titles.

Natasha: The popular Russian/Ukrainian name Natasha began as a pet version of the name Natalia. Natalia was originally bestowed upon girls born in December or around Christmas. Natalia is derived from a word that means “natal day” or “birthday” in relation to the birthday of Jesus Christ.

Elena: The name Elena has a Greek origin, and its meaning may be “bright,” “clear,” or “bright light.” Another version of this popular Russian girl’s name is Alyona (e.g., I call my sister “Alyona“). In 2004, Elena was among a list of the top five names given to baby girls in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Tanja: The name Tanja is a variation of the name Tanya; it is also a shortened version of the monikers Tatiana and Titania. Tonja and its variations are thought to be derived from the ancient Roman family name Tatius. However, the meaning of the name Tatius has been lost over time.

Olga: The popular name Olga is rooted in the Old Norse name Helga and means “blessed” or “successful.” Along with being a popular girls name in Russia and Ukraine, Olga is also used in Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Iceland, and Latin America.

Katja: Katja is the shortened version of the name Katherine which means “pure and unsullied.” Katja is also related to the name Katya. Along with being a popular name for baby girls in Russia and Ukraine, Katja, and name related to Katja, are popular in Germany, Netherlands, and Scandinavian and Slavic-speaking countries.

Oksana: Oksana is a popular name that originates from the Hebrew language and means “praise God” or “God is with us.” An earlier form of Oksana is the Greek name Xenia which means hospitable.

The Ukrainian and Russian Woman’s Attitude towards Sex

Dear friends,

Today, we talk about one of the most scrupulous issues about which everyone is thinking but afraid to speak, namely: Ukrainian and Russian ladies’s attitude towards sex in a relationship and marriage. No one will deny that the subject of sexuality in each relationship plays a major role. And I am sure harmony in sexual life is the (romantic) key to a happy relationship.

I am familiar with this problem, namely: many Western men do not know how they may express their sexual desires while dating Russian and Ukrainian ladies. Why is that? Intercultural differences? Different attitudes towards sex life? Furthermore, Western men tell that Ukrainian and Russian ladies are very shy, cannot or do not want to hug or kiss Western men, and it is really difficult sometimes to find out whether the woman is into you or not. That makes the cross-cultural communication more complicated, in my opinion.

I attended a seminar on Language & Sexuality at the university in Frankfurt, thus I am trying to tell you, guys, in academic way why the Ukrainian and Russian lady’s attitude towards sex life in a marriage is a cultural issue and why talking about sex and sexuality in Russia and Ukraine is still a big taboo. I hope you will learn more useful information about the Ukrainian and Russian culture after reading my article.

Let’s talk about Russian and Ukrainian women’s sexuality!

The Ukrainian and Russian women have both changed their roles over the last decade or so. Unfortunately, Russia and Ukraine have not changed much in their attitudes towards women. Women in these two countries are often not respected or highly valued. They are viewed more as objects to be used by men and discarded at will.

Many women in these countries are waging a silent war for their own sexuality. Not content to stand in a man’s shadow, the new generations of Ukrainian and Russian women are secretly allowing their sexuality to come forth in the hopes that one day their countries will come to more liberal terms about sex and the woman’s role.

Most females in these countries are taught that sex is a dirty word and that nice girls don’t do it. Many traditional families believe that talking about sex is just as obscene as taking part in a sex act. Even in educational environments where the factual terms of anatomy should be taught, the lessons were often taught in hush-hush tones and this further clouded the subject of sex for most females.

Since most girls are not taught at home or even at school about sex, they often take to the streets to get their education. It is said that about 10 to 15 % of Russian girls start having sex around the age of fifteen. These girls see the Western girl’s attitudes towards sex and this clashes with what they know in their own cultures. They end up succumbing to sexual lives long before they are physically or emotionally ready.

Females are taught that they are to be bashful and quiet in all ways. In Literature, they are taught that they are to not even engage in a kiss without love being a priority. This makes the woman unable to explore her own sexual thoughts and attitudes to form a healthy sex life for her future husband. This causes more questions than answers and makes the subject of sex so taboo that females often form the wrong understanding of sex and these clouds how they respond to the marriage bed.

Even into dating and marriage, sex is a subject that is avoided at all costs. Those females who do engage in sexual intercourse before marriage try to keep it a secret for fear of rejection by society. Once married, young couples often live with their families. This puts even more strain on the female because she is under the scrutiny of family and is not able to truly express her sexual desire for her husband. Since there is no privacy, the woman is often kept quiet during the sexual act and not allowed to explore the true nature of her sexual desire.

As times change, it is hoped that women’s roles in the Russian and Ukrainian society change to conform to more modern standards. Women in these countries deserve more respect so that they do not fall into the sexual traps that are set for them by men who have less than honorable intentions. If women are taught that they deserve respect, they will in turn respect themselves. It is time that Russia and the Ukraine come out of the dark ages and embrace the beauty of the female without turning her into an object to be used and destroyed.

Five biggest challenges for a Ukrainian woman immigrating West

Dear friends,

there is no doubt that marriage is one of the most interesting social practices that have evolved throughout time. In its earlier form, marriage was practiced only after the groom has courted the bride properly or has gotten to know each other in a considerably long period of time. Yet today, grooms have the opportunity to save their time and effort from courting their future brides and having to polish up to her parents.

From my personal experience, I would say that although marriage with Ukrainian and Russian brides has been viewed negatively by others and have been engulfed by controversies and disputes, those who have no problems with the costs of meeting brides from Russia and Ukraine and are open for new cultures can leave such option on their list.

You find more information on the possible costs of Ukrainian and Russian dating here:

(2) The Price of Ukrainian & Russian Online Dating

In the past, traditional mail order brides were sourced from well-developed countries to marry men in foreign countries and colonies like America and Australia. But today the trend has seemingly been reversed. Single women living in undeveloped or third-world countries are now seeking men in more developed nations.

There are a lot of considerations that are stringed with getting married to a lady from Ukraine immigrating into Western territories. Whether the Ukrainian bride is going to the US, Canada, Germany, France or the UK, certain challenges will be met along the way of procuring a Ukrainian woman for marriage.

Challenge #1: Language unfamiliarity.

You have to learn how to overcome language barriers in your intercultural marriage. Furthermore, it is really very important that your wife from Ukraine learns the language of her new home country as soon as possible.

As her partner, you’ll have to work on teaching on enrolling your Ukrainian lady on a language course before you can both communicate effectively and clearly.

Challenge #2: Loneliness.

A Ukrainian and Russian bride immigrating into the Western hemisphere will also naturally feel loneliness and being homesick from their family or friends. A possible move on the part of the Western groom may be to pay for the travel expenses of the bride’s family or friend so that she can see them or possibly live with both of you.

Challenge #3: Difference in culture

Difference in Ukrainian and Western cultures is also commonly another challenge that a Ukrainian woman struggles with when immigrating to the country of her Western husband. Certain practices and cultures will evoke distinct views and perspectives and should be worked on immediately and appropriately to ensure a smooth long-term relationship.

Challenge #4: Establishing goals and plans in a new life

Living in an entirely different and new country or region can also inspire difficulty in establishing and recognizing goals and plans for the Ukrainian bride. What would her goals and objectives be for short-term and long-term? Should she be working? Perhaps continuing her unfinished college course? As the male of the couple, you should make it a point to communicate with your bride and ask what’s on her mind. Communication is a key to firmly establishing goals ahead.

Challenge #5: Dealing with intercultural differences

Lastly, the partners should learn how to deal with difficulties in an intercultural relationship or marriage. Both Western husband and Ukrainian wife will have to work on this challenge for long-term periods. Intercultural differences may impede harmonious married life and may entail a disastrous marriage on both parties.

What are we, Ukrainian women?

Dear friends,

I have been asked by many readers what we Ukrainian women are. What are we looking for? Beautiful Ukrainian girls make Western men curious about what they can expect in Ukraine. Do all Ukrainian ladies want only a serious relatioship with Western men? Or are they just for a wild sexual affaire? Lets discuss that together! 🙂

Like women all over the world, Ukrainian women vary from woman to woman. Each is unique with different interests and goals in life. When it comes to love life, some Ukrainian women are simply looking for some fun in a short-term relationship. The full extent might be one date before these women are ready to move on to the next. They are not preparing to settle down.

There are other women in the Ukraine who are hitting the dating field with the goal of exploring what the world has to offer with the eventual goal of starting a family. Then there are the Ukrainian women who are focused on starting a family, who want to take care of a home, and wish to devote themselves to another in a partnership that will last a lifetime. They are searching for a man who knows what he wants, is established with a career, and also has the same objectives in life.

My tip is no one should generalize. Western men can take the time to explore the different dating sites and find out for themselves what kinds of women are waiting in the Ukraine. Through dating sites, they can make initial contacts and see photographs to lay the groundwork for the next step.

Some women may simply want a long distance relationship that involves playing through email. Others are ready to begin a new life in a distant land because their expectations haven’t been met at home.

But in conclusion I can say there are many attractive, interesting women in Ukraine who can be met through Internet dating sites in a variety of ways and in Ukraine directly.

12 types of Ukrainian and Russian women you should not date

Dear friends,

Many Western men looking for a Ukrainian wife online complain that all Ukrainian women are scammers and just want to leave their poor Ukraine. Or better to say: they all want to cheat you for money. Of course, I’m trying to prove that in Ukraine there are also honest women who dream only to find their happiness abroad. I found out that there are 12 types of Ukrainian and Russian women you should not date. I confess that I did not write this article – I found it on a Russian women forum. But this article is so cool – you have to read it absolutely, dear readers!

12 types of Ukrainian and Russian women you should not date

Type 1- Miss Feminist

This woman postulates that all the ills of society are orchestrated by men and the best thing a man can do to improve himself is cut off his testicles and grow a pair of ovaries. She believes that women are angelic creatures who would make the world a utopia if only the male “patriarchy” would allow them to. Any woman who promotes these absurdities lives in a fantasy world and will have no problem at all treating a man in a way that she would never herself abide by. You can easily identify her by her incessant mantra, “All men think with their penises.” Avoid her at all costs.

Type 2- Miss Take

She’s out for your money — pure and simple. Miss Take is the ultimate in high maintenance. She expects a man to finance her entire life just because she is biologically female. To her, a man should pay for drinks, dinners, trips, flowers, and jewelry, while she feels absolutely no guilt or compulsion to reciprocate. She is nothing but a whitewashed prostitute. Miss Take thinks her vagina is plated with gold and is worth a million dollars. She is greed personified. Since she has no concept of someone else’s feelings, her only interest is in getting what she wants. And don’t be fooled — some apparently very “nice” girls are the greediest of them all.

Type 3- Miss Romance

This type of woman lives in a fantasy world of Lifetime Channel movies and romance novels. Every night she goes home alone to spend hours flipping through her bride magazines, imagining that, at any moment, Prince Charming will ride up on his white horse, sweep her off her feet, and offer her a problem-free existence for the rest of her life. The Miss Romances of the world have been coddled by parents and family, told they are “princesses,” and have absolutely no idea that real life consists of paying bills and cleaning toilets. Miss Romance will expect to be taken care of, will be a dud in bed, and will, almost overnight, turn into a shrieking nag. Run!!!

Type 4- Miss Elusive

This woman is closely allied to Miss Romance, but with a dark side. She is usually one of the “walking wounded” — someone who has been hurt in past relationships and so subconsciously avoids or sabotages new relationships in the present. Your association with her will be one of utter frustration, as first she shows great interest in you, but very quickly runs away — then repeats this cycle over and over again. Miss Elusive is the queen of mixed messages. She will flirt with you and date you, but you’ll never get past “friend” status. What you will get is a million excuses for her unavailability, all calculated to deceive herself that she just doesn’t have time for a relationship. Save yourself some heartache — don’t get involved with her.

Type 5- Miss Angry

Like Miss Feminists, Miss Angrys really don’t like men. They scorn the male gender and can rattle off all the wrongs and misdeeds of every man they’ve ever encountered. To Miss Angry, there’s no such thing as a nice guy — they’re all “jerks,” “creeps” and “pigs.” Many of them have lots of simmering anger at men, which can explode at any moment like an erupting volcano. Unless you’re into lots of drama and screaming, stay away.

Type 6- Miss Insecure

This woman seems great at the start because she’s very nice, accommodating and treats men well. But her inner insecurities don’t take long to surface. Pretty soon she’s calling you 10 times a day, asking to see “where the relationship is going,” or because she “just wants to hear your voice.” She needs constant reassurance that she’s attractive, and worries incessantly about her makeup, hair and the alignment of her clothes. She’s clingy, needy and compulsively agonizes that you’re going to leave her at any moment for “someone better.” This kind of thing can get really creepy really fast.

Type 7- Miss Bitch

Miss Bitches are the sulkers, pouters and ball-busters of the female world. They are very unpleasant people who treat their fellow humans poorly, care only about themselves, and aren’t concerned at all if they hurt you or anybody else. Most Miss Bitches qualify as Miss Takes, too. Miss Bitches are usually good-looking and well dressed, and you can easily identify them by the scowls on their faces as they imperiously strut through the world.

Type 8- Miss Me

A close relative of Miss Bitch, Miss Me is entirely focused on herself. Miss Me needs to be the constant center of attention no matter what she does or where she goes. She is a selfish, self-indulgent, self-serving narcissist who was raised as “daddy’s little girl,” and expects the same from you. Unless you enjoy the company of spoiled brats, stay far, far away.

Type 9- Miss Desperate

Whether it’s her baby clock ticking or she’s the last of her girlfriends to trap a man, Miss Desperate wants to get married — now. She doesn’t care who the guy is or what he does — as long as he’s got a penis she can drag him to the altar. Watch out for this one!


Type 10- Miss Turncoat

She’s a conniving little piece of work who’s an expert at conning men. Miss Turncoat will tell you exactly what you want to hear until you’re hooked deep into the relationship (or married)… and then the truth comes out. Overnight, your sweet little girl turns into a demanding, greedy, mercenary harpy who will browbeat you into submission if she doesn’t get her way.

Type 11- Miss Tease

Usually, you can spot Miss Teases a mile away because she flirts with anything in pants and flaunt her sexuality at every opportunity. Sometimes she sponges off older men; sometimes she’s a ball-buster who enjoys getting men sexually excited and then walking away; and sometimes she just basks in her sexual power by attracting men like bees to honey. No matter how she operates, you can’t trust her because she craves male attention and if somebody better comes along, she’ll dump you in a heartbeat.

Type 12- Miss Controlling

She is a subtly nasty one who will wind up directing every phase of your life. She will tell you what to wear, where to go, who to talk to, what friends you can have, what you can eat — everything. And if you try to stand up for yourself, she will cut off sex, cry, scream, pout, or use any other deceptive female tactic until you give in and succumb to her demands.

And now that you know better, if you hook up with one of these women, you have only yourself to blame

6 types of Russian and Ukrainian women you should date

Dear friends,

my article “6 types of Russian and Ukrainian women you should date” is ready! It was not very easy to write this post, thus I spent a lot of time on it. But now I hope you will enjoy the post and learn the types of women from Ukraine and also from Russia you should date. In the article “12 types of Ukrainian and Russian women you should not date” we have discussed that some Russian and Ukrainian women you do not want to date because they are a major pain, and could even cost you thousands of dollars if you run into the wrong woman who wants to do damage.

The today’s article presents you that some Russian and Ukrainian women do not deserve that label and it is possible to find Russian and Ukrainian women who are the cream of the crop. You just have to know what to look for.

Here are 6 types of Russian women that you should date:

Type 1 – Miss Anti-Feminist

This is my personal favorite because something about feminism has always rubbed me the wrong way. It is funny how they call it feminism but it is designed to give females a less feminine mindset and to make them hateful towards the male persuasion. Miss Anti-Feminist is a good woman because she will be there for you when you need her. The best part is that she hates feminism, so you will not have to put up with her muttering nonsense.

You can identify this woman by how submissive she is. She knows how to be a real woman.

Type 2 – Miss Give

This is the exact opposite of Miss Take. This woman is going to give you things, so you know that she is not just after your money. This woman can be hard to spot until she is dating you, but if you run into Miss Give you will be pleased.

This is a good Russian and Ukrainian woman to have because when you need something she is going to get it for you. One method that you can find for safely identifying and avoiding Miss Take is when you pull out your wallet, you can watch her reaction to your wallet. Like if she shows no interest, then she does not just want your money. However, if she seems like she is doing math in her head as you can take out my wallet, then you know she is a gold digger.

Type 3 – Miss Direct

Tired of guess work? Women tend to be more subtle than men, so when you find a Russian and Ukrainian woman who is direct lock her down! This woman is going to directly communicate to you that she wants a relationship with you. She is not going to play high school mind games when it comes to relationships. This woman is identifiable by the fact that she will be direct with you that she wants a relationship.

However, beware of her getting too demanding and telling you what to do all the time. This woman can turn bossy later on, and you do not want a woman with that mindset because they tend to be feminists or Miss Bitches. You want her Direct, but you do not want Miss Bossy-boss.

Type 4 – Miss Kindness

This is another loved Russian and Ukrainian woman of many men. She is not going to explode on you unexpectedly, and she will not be hateful towards you or anyone else for that matter. This is a good woman because she brings a lot of positivity into your life which will bring your mood up. Miss Kindness also pays you compliments sometimes which is great for men who have a low self esteem. In my opinion, this Russian and Ukrainian woman deserves a good man.

Type 5 – Miss Secure

Miss Secure is the type of Russian and Ukrainian woman who will not be calling you 10 times a day to ask you stupid questions. She is secure in herself, so she will not get jealous if you have a night out with the guys. This is a good woman because you can go places without having to worry about her blaming you for something when you get back.

Type 6 – Miss Non-Bitch

Miss Non-Bitch is the exact opposite of Miss Bitch. She is fun to be around. She treats men with respect and is concerned if she hurts other people. You can identify Miss Non-Bitch by the smile on her face and her caring demeanor. Unlike Miss Bitch, she is usually a happy go lucky woman, and this in itself can help to elevate your own mood.

Miss Non-Bitch is also the type of woman who will pay you compliments. She is similar to Miss Kindness only Miss Non-Bitch is more likely to get angry. However, she will not usually get angry about things that are unjustified.

When you are looking for six types of Russian and Ukrainian women for marriage who are top notch women, you should give serious consideration to some of these Russian and Ukrainian ladies. They deserve good men because they are good women who treat other people with respect and kindness. They are not selfish and all about themselves, which makes them the ideal woman to settle down with, and a great woman to date if nothing else.

I believe these types of Russian and Ukrainian women will spend their time making you happy.

Ukrainian women and Materialism: Some reasons for that

Dear friends,

No doubts, misconceptions about women translate through all cultures, countries, religions and geographies. This is, in my opinion, because all too often women are viewed as being materialistic by nature based on the fact that women tend to appreciate and enjoy having nice things. Though on the forefront this may make it seem as if women are materialistic; it is merely just a case of misunderstanding the appreciation for nice things that women have by nature.

One specific group of women, Ukrainian and Russian women, are often viewed in this negative manner much more than Western women or those from other countries. This is due to the vast changes that have occurred throughout Ukraine and Russia over the decades and thus have produced a generation of Ukrainian and Russian women that are well educated, intelligent and much worldlier in nature. This has made them much more aware about things that are available for those who work hard and truly appreciate nice things.

As you know, Ukrainian and Russian women still have very strong family values and cultural ties, however, I have to mention that they have also found that being exposed to the wonderful world of fashion, jewelry, cars, homes and other material items has grabbed their attention in the same way it has for many other women. This is something that should be viewed as a natural event and not something that is negative or solely an issue about Ukrainian and Russian women.

Perhaps many see that the more modern women of Post-Soviet Ukraine and Russia are much more interested and intrigued by material items but that is a function of the changing world they and everyone else lives in.

In my opinion, this is because Ukrainian and Russian women have access to magazines, newspapers, the Internet and social media. This has opened their world up to those material items that many other women have grown to love and thus desire.

This should not be viewed as a materialistic viewpoint by Ukrainian and Russian women as it is no more materialistic than any other woman who wants nice things. In fact, one would be hard pressed to find many women who do not appreciate and enjoy having good clothing, nice shoes and high quality handbags.

Western men who have the perception that Ukrainian and Russian women are passive, uneducated and sheltered will find that this is simply not the case. It is also important to realize that our women are not gold diggers, green card seekers or materialistic and shallow.

They are like all other women in that they want love, a family, a nice lifestyle, nice things and someone to treat them with respect. The cultural changes that have occurred in Ukraine and Russia throughout the years have left the perception of Ukrainian and Russian ladies slightly behind the times and that truly has been a disservice to those women who are really not much different than women from other countries.

Once one step back and sees that women from Ukraine are not any more materialistic than any other woman will come to find that the other innate qualities of Ukrainian ladies set them apart as a unique and special type of woman. Yes, it is true that Ukraine and Russian women enjoy nice things like others, but they also have this amazing history that they cherish where family, love, respect and compassion drive their actions.

To my mind, this is why Ukrainian and Russian women are a very sought after mate for many Western men as they really are an ideal combination of traditional and non-traditional qualities that most men simply find engaging, appealing and attractive.

Three destructive qualities of Ukrainian & Russian brides

Dear friends,

As you know, many times the average Ukrainian/Russian woman and the average Western woman get compared. When these two types of women get compared, the positive qualities of the average Ukrainian or Russian woman are often magnified. Being more feminine and more family oriented are positive qualities that are often mentioned about us, Ukrainian ladies. Though these positive features may exist, there are negative qualities that the average Ukrainian women possess that could cause problems in a marriage.

Negative quality #1: Anger

In the Western culture, women are known to become angry from time to time. During these low occurrences the women are usually able to be calmed down without much energy. In a marriage with an average Ukrainian or Russian woman anger can become a problem that is not so easily handled (I write this from my personal experience :)). Women from Ukraine and Russia have a slightly higher anger quotient (A.Q) than Western women.

Why is this so important for a man to know before they get married? I have to mention that having a wife that gets angry quicker than the average Western woman can lead to a more stressful marriage. More arguments can occur easily raising the tension within the household. This can easily affect one’s work day, weekend, health, or children in the household. If children exist in the household, the higher A.Q. presented by the Ukrainian / Russian wife can cause the child to have emotional challenges. This type of behavior can also be mimicked by the child.

Negative quality #2: Extremeness

Anger is not the only negative quality that the average Ukrainian / Russian woman can have. Guys, you should be aware of the extremeness that these women possess. In Western culture, many individuals learn etiquette and manners. Women from Ukraine and Russia are instilled with their own cultural etiquette. For example, the average woman in Ukraine can be seen as straight forward and direct.

Though this is a quality that can be praised at times, it can all so be perceived as disrespectful. Instead of asking, a Russian woman may just say “give me that” or “give me this”. This can cause tension during family gatherings. This tension can lead to rifts within the family, all because of the straightforward and direct behavior of one’s Ukrainian / Russian wife.

A Ukrainian woman may also have other habits that conflict with manners that are widely accepted in the western culture. Using the words “please and thank you”, are seen as normal verbal gestures. From my experience, the average Ukrainian woman that is not trained in these manners can cause a husband embarrassment.

These gestures are expected at certain establishments such as restaurants, around the husband’s co-workers, or at any gathering with other people. A woman that does not have these particular manners can be viewed as a disrespectful person. Having a wife that is seen as being disrespectful can have an effect on how a person is treated by restaurant staff or co-workers. Less customer service can be given or co-workers may become distant.

Negative quality #3: Self-worth

Having an innate sense of self-worth can have a negative effect on a marriage. Self-worth is a characteristic that is often praised. It can represent one’s value of self. How can self-worth be negative? Every Ukrainian / Russian woman that has elevated self-worth has the ability to clash with the western culture.

In a marriage, this can cause women to be less compromising. As you know, self-worth can cause a person to be very prideful. In a marriage, the average woman from Ukraine or Russia can take pride in her intellectual, social, sexual, or physical abilities causing the woman to possibly undermine her husband’s role in the household. If the man is seen in the head, the average Ukraine or Russian woman can often challenge his position because of her elevated view of her abilities. She can see the man as being inferior. When this occurs the husband will possibly be in a continuous battle trying to prove his position in the home or his manhood.

In conclusion, I would say that being feminine or family oriented are great qualities for a wife to have but, there is more qualities that should be considered. The average Ukrainian bride possesses qualities that could break a marriage such as a higher anger quotient, extreme behavior, and an innate sense of self-worth. Frequently compared data should not be the only information used to choose a bride. Understanding a person’s culture and personality should also be used. This can help to assure a harmonized marriage.

Is your Ukrainian bride still interested in dating you?

Dear friends,

Ukrainian online dating and serious cross-cultural relationships often give men a sense of insecurity and uncertainty. Ukrainian and Russian women are universally known as mysteries to the male mind. Throw an intercultural relationship into the mix and men can quickly descend into a mindset of fear. The most powerful fear that broaches the mind is a fear of loss. What if your Ukrainian lady isn’t interested in you anymore? How will you be able to know?

Yes, Western men adore Ukrainian and Russian women and for good reason, but these same Ukrainian and Russian women we love so much can be shy about their emotions. Ukrainian and Russian women are especially known for their shyness and unwillingness or inability to open up and just tell guys the truth about their intentions. If you’ve been talking to your future bride for a few months and things are getting stale, there are a few things you need to keep in mind during this journey toward potential lifelong happiness.

You’re not alone!

When we’re in love and at a crossroads, it’s easy for us to feel like we’re the only one going through pain. In fact, millions of people fear the unknown nature of relationships. If your Ukrainian-Western relationship has taken a turn into the unknown and you’re unable to tell if your bride from Ukraine or Russia still wants to meet you and pursue a life with you, then you’re never alone in this fear. Many men are wondering the same thing and don’t know what to do about it. The emotional turmoil can be so great that it interferes with your offline life.

If this is happening to you, it’s time to take a deep breath and put first things first. You DO need to communicate with your Ukrainian/Russian sweetheart and find out where you stand. This should never be done at the expense of your emotional well-being though. Life must go on offline. In time the fear will subside and you’ll get back to your normal self. To do this, though, it’s time to find out where you and your beloved Ukrainian/Russian woman are in the journey that is your relationship.

Taking it to the next level

Online relationships can work. Millions of people are proving it. However, online relationships eventually need to come out of the dark and become real, offline relationships. When you’re dating a Ukrainian/Russian woman, you must first be willing to commit to the idea of traveling to Ukraine or Russia to meet her. The meet-up is essential. In my hard opinion, a relationship that remains online forever is a life wasted for both people. When is the right time to visit?

As a general guide, 6-12 months is a good timetable for a meeting. If you’re unwilling to go to Ukraine or Russia to meet her in that window of time, it’s likely that the relationship will grow boring and stale and she’ll move on. She not only has the option of finding an online lover who will travel to meet her, but she also has the option of finding another man who is around her in daily life.

What to do?

Confusion is normal if you’re experiencing some cold behavior from your Ukrainian / Russian lady. If it’s growing stale and she won’t reveal her true feelings, you’ve got to take some action. Perhaps you could go a week without emailing or calling her.

Let her mull it over in her head and decide if she can really live without you. This is the perfect little experiment if you’re months into the relationship and think she might not want to meet. If she writes, she’s probably still interested. She might reveal her feelings and tell you how much she missed you. This will bring you even closer. The bad news for this experiment is that if she doesn’t even make an effort to rekindle the contact, she might already be through with you. If that happens, you have to make a decision.

Live and learn

You can learn from this experience or you can wallow in grief and never date again. Like most Western men, you’ll suffer for a little while, miss her badly, and then realize there was something missing between you and your Russian lady. After acceptance, your search for a new Ukrainian/Russian bride can begin again. Let it be full of hope

What Ukraine & Russian women talk about…

What Ukraine & Russian women talk about…

Dear friends,

Today, I discovered a very brief but very interesting post on Facebook. My male friend from Russia wrote his observations what Ukrainian and Russian women talk about when they meet. There is no surprise for me that they talk about men. Yes, it is actually true. 🙂 We talk mostly about our men, husbands, boyfriends, love, hate, passion, and only then about work and everyday problems. So, guys, compare the different topics of German (Western) and Russian / Ukrainian women’s conversations.

Find out what Russian and Ukrainian women talk about:

For several years, I was making an observation which I stopped only a moment ago because it was confirmed by 100%. Its principle is as follows. I listened to what young women talk to each other on the street, in cafes, in the fitness club, etc., and tried to go unnoticed.

Of course, I was not snooping but simply noted a general topic of conversation. So, the result of my (I repeat) long-term observation is the following: if German women meet, they talk about these things (in order of priority): everyday problems, work, vacation and men. Studies are the topic in second place in the conversation of female students. The proportion of the dialogues about everyday problems and vacation increases with age.

Irrespective of age, Russian and Ukrainian women talk only about men when they meet. And I see no exception in this rule.

The beauty of Russian women

The beauty of Russian women

Everyone tends to break out in the front ranks of the society that surrounds it. For men, the main thing in life is career, the desire to climb the ladder, to demonstrate their physical perfection and business skills for women important in life - perfection and irresistible appearance, worship of men. Each Russian woman wants to be a charming and lovely, but not everyone knows how to do it.
Many believe that the main thing - is to dress and use make-up fashion. But along with this great value it has the ability to "present" themselves, to emphasize their own dignity. Woman having good posture, beautiful legs, tripping, able to move freely and naturally attracts the attention of men.
In a seated woman legs line look more impressive: knee to knee with feet slightly obliquely next to him, or the foot to the leg, the emphasis is on his knees and feet. Placed the legs produce an unpleasant, unaesthetic impression, even if they are very beautiful.

Conquer the hearts and minds of many women "almighty makeup" is still inferior to the power of his influence eloquent glance, facial expressions, crying that emphasize or vice versa mutilated female beauty. Laugh Russian woman can charm and disarm any steadfast man. Even women's tears have a huge impact on the male psyche.

Rounding out the image of the Beautiful Lady refined manners, pleasant tone of voice, and perfume. All these advantages will be effective only when they are subject to a single image - your style. Fashion passes, but style remains.

So a woman is necessary for self-assertion: to have a well-built figure, beautiful gait, be relaxed and easy in his movements, to be able to dress with taste, use makeup, self-control - their behavior and emotions.

The beauty of the body depends on the health status. It forms a correct way of life, which is a balanced diet, sufficient physical exercise (see. Gym for women 19-34 years of age and gymnastics for women 35-55 years old), proper rest, positive emotional background and, of course, the daily hygiene.

Meals should be varied, complete. Through proper nutrition woman has a strong body, a quick mind, good health, "young" old age. Healthy Woman has supple, elastic, with a uniform skin color enjoyable, clear, radiant eyes, silky shiny hair. When malnutrition is a series of changes in the body, and this, in turn, directly affects the condition of the skin: it becomes flabby, dry, oily, or thinning, has an unhealthy yellowish-gray tint. Of course, these changes can be caused not only malnutrition but also by many other factors, and not enough good blood circulation, which depends on physical activity.

Excess weight is a real disaster for many. In obese people occur negative changes in the cardiovascular system, the metabolism and so on. D. Being overweight contributes to a violation of posture, and this has a negative effect on health. For a violation of posture also lead weak, untrained muscles. The weakening of the muscles of the back is stooped posture, which leads to the omission of the chest, squeezing the lungs and heart, iris prolapse and, as a consequence, to the squeezing of the stomach and abdominal organs.

Worsens a number of bodily functions: breathing, circulation, digestion, as well as changing the flexibility and elasticity of the spine sags and becomes flabby chest. Moreover, the habit of stooping; sedentary work leads to sagging of the rectus abdominis, weaken it, which may cause the omission of internal organs. This is usually accompanied by a breach of their duties. With the correct posture the abdominal muscles taut. When wrong - change feet position in relation to the body, which is fraught with negative consequences. Exercise to maintain good muscle tone, which, in turn, keep the musculoskeletal system in the correct position.

What kind of figure women can be considered beautiful? First of all proportionate: a certain ratio of height and leg length, cross-body and body mass sizes. These relationships among women of different body are not the same. There are three basic body types: asthenic (tonkokostnoe); normostenichesky (normokostny) hypersthenic (boned). There are also mixed types of addition.

Boned type of addition has broad, heavy bones, wide chest and hip, a person most often circular, and a short neck. This type tends to be overweight.

leg length is measured from the Mount of the femur to the floor. It is believed that the longest legs are fine-boned, and the shortest in boned. The higher the growth, the longer legs. It is considered normal if the leg length is more than half the body length from 2-4 cm boned, fine-boned -. 6-9 cm These proportions may be different if your height above 175 cm or 160 cm below.

Chest circumference is measured at the level of the fourth rib, it is below the collarbone on the width of three fingers, a bust - on nipples, waist - in the most subtle and thighs - in the widest areas.

To fine-boned another rule: chest circumference from 84 to 86 cm, and the bust - at 4-6 cm greater waist usually thin - 60-64 cm, hip circumference of about 30 cm more. At boned waist can be a little higher than normal, while the fine-boned girls waist circumference should not exceed 62-64 cm.
