Russian Women Their Mentality
And Uniqueness
When people mention a word “woman” they
usually mean something like “mother” - someone careful, loving,
warm and tender. And it's considered to be a worldwide
stereotype, but unfortunately, it's not. Western men
(Americans, Canadians and Europeans) tell sad stories about
their “local” women: it's a common knowledge that the feminism
changed western ladies greatly – they became chilly and
business-oriented, when Russian and Ukrainian girls still have
their love and warmth.
Many men are still asumed to know that there is such a
difference in attitude and mentality. In spite of the fact that
every person is unique, there are certain common features of
character that make Ukrainian and brides the most
sensitive, feminine and unique in their traits and perception
of the world.
The most famous ussian and Ukrainian poets and writers
devoted their works to the exceptional qualities of the FSU
ladies. One of the poems devoted to Russian women calls them
queenly, containing beautiful force and remaining ever
beautiful despite the difficulties of life; it glorifies the
ability of these women to work hard as much as their beauty. A
famous quote from this literary piece says that if need be, a
Russian woman will "stop a running horse, enter a burning
building." And indeed, all these stories are true.
Historically, women have been set apart long ago. Since
the ancient days they have been known for their hard work right
alongside with men. During disasters women held families and
communities together. Difficulties don't scare them. Instead,
challenges strengthen women's character. They have also been
culturally very protective and caring for their families and
become great wives and nurturing mothers. Precisely because of
these qualities Russian hostesses are known to be some of the
most hospitable in the world. This landlady will welcome you
and feed you as if you have not had food for months, and it
will all be delicious too!
Communism also influenced on the mentality of Russian women
(especially of older generations). Ladies, who were raised
under communism, were brought up with values of
self-dedication, responsibility and giving away to the society,
along with strong family values. And such mindset is still very
strong in many of them. Not in the political sense, but in the
fact of being very giving, sometimes to their own detriment.
Helping someone else is much more important than their own
well-being. And when they are doing something, the key is
responsibility. Of course, such values are transferred to their
children, and younger women also gain such warmth, sincerity
and dedication from their mothers.
Russian men take women and their efforts for granted. They
expect women to cater to all their needs. Most men here do not
know how to treat women and, therefore, treat them poorly; such
attitude leaves no room for romance. It is typical for most
women to work from 8 to 5, come home, cook dinner, help kids
with their homework, clean the house – and manage all these
things on a regular basis without any help from the men's side
in the regular 24 hour day, 7 days a week!!!
Since Russia, Ukraine and other FSU countries have been open
to foreign influences, women have a chance to know a different
attitude towards them. Many stories of our women happily living
abroad have been told over and over again. Most women have a
friend or a friend of a friend who is living abroad and is
happy with a change in attitude from men and style of life. And
once the women had a chance to see something different, compare
and realize that indeed they like, want and deserve such things
as romance, care and love, many of them do not want to settle
for anything less. The attitude from men at home gives Russian
women an opportunity to really appreciate foreign men, who
treat them as ladies. Attitude of men from home also makes
Russian women such that they don't always trust easily. But
once they do, the gratitude of Russian women to you for being a
reliable partner, who treats them with love, will have no
boundaries: they will appreciate you, they will pamper you and
give you all their love and emotions stored inside.
So, don't think brides are too good to be true! They are
real and they are incredible, and they are looking for someone
who will treasure and cherish them. Give them a chance and you
just might find the lady you have been missing in your
life.
