Russian Women Who Chose To
Become Mail Order
Brides Do It To Escape Economical
Misery.Most women who decide to
look for husbands abroad do it NOT because they want an
automatic washing machine and hamburgers. Those things are
available to people in their societies also. Truly harsh
conditions no longer exist in large cities where the majority
of Internet mail order brides reside. Think about it, some
people in your society also live in trailers! The myth about
economical misery is as good as your knowledge of those
societies.
Over the last decade, the world has changed dramatically and
life conditions evolved not only in your country. Since the
invention of the World Wide Web, technology has rapidly
expanded across the globe. It is only in smaller regional towns
that you can find conditions that are typically shown in
Hollywood movies about Russia and Asia. As you know, lives in
small towns in your country are also different from life in big
cities, although the gap in foreign countries may be
larger.
Regarding Russians, in general, Russian people do not consider
their life miserable. In fact, they are proud to be
Russians!
Russian people believe that they live in a great country, which
might have some problems but overall, it is a great country.
Just like you believe you live in a great country too. Russians
also have their pride in being citizens of the largest country
in the world, stretching over 11 time zones and which nearly
twice as big as the second largest country in the world -
Canada. The majority of Russian people do not think living in
the USA, or Canada, or Australia is such a privilege. People
that grew up in Soviet Russia all sincerely believed that they
were lucky to be born in the USSR and most of them still do.
Families of Russian women married to western men rarely express
a desire to immigrate to those countries. They don't want to
leave Russia. They enjoy traveling internationally but they
don't want to emigrate.
It is a myth that Russian women search for a foreign husband to
escape economical misery. This is not applicable to the
majority of Russian women whose listings you see on the
Internet and this was not my personal motivation either (you
will read my own story in greater detail later).
Many Russian women seeking marriage abroad have advanced
careers and live well even according to western standards,
having paid housekeepers and nannies for their children. The
conditions of life in a major Russian city such as Moscow or
St. Petersburg are comparable to any European capital. Pace of
life in Moscow is similar to the one of New York City.
Yes, there are some Russian women that use search for a foreign
husband as the means to escape poverty, but they are a
minority. Some women in your society also use marriage as means
of economical escape. Comparatively, the percentages are
virtually the same
The real reason why Russian women turn to seek husbands abroad
is that they cannot find suitable marriage partners in Russia.
Yes, it is that simple!
You might think that a beautiful, slender, physically fit,
educated and intelligent woman cannot really have problems with
male admirers and you would be right: attractive women in
Russia do have dating offers from Russian men. But those men
are seeking only casual sex. They are either already married,
or unwilling to commit, or they are not worthy of marrying
because they cannot provide for a family.
Since all Russian women want children in their marriages
(unless they are physically unable), that’s part of the
culture; they seek men who will be able to support their family
while she is unable to work while caring for the child or
children. Most women in Russia take full time care of their
children up to the age of 3. This tradition was inherited from
the Soviet times when their work position was preserved for 3
years after child birth, with fully paid maternity leave for 18
months and unpaid leave for another 18 months. Nowadays they do
not pay the maternity leave but women believe it is right to
stay at home with your baby when she is small and seek men who
are able to provide for their families.
Russian people marry early and by the age of 22 more than 50%
of people are already married. By the age of 25 about 80% of
people are married. Since there are less men than women in
Russia (10 million more women than men, according to the latest
census), and even less men who are worthy, the competition for
eligible men is extremely harsh. As a result, the men become
spoiled and promiscuous.
It might be hard to believe but a normal man who has a stable
job (being able to solely provide for his family), is career
and health conscious, and willing to commit, seems like a fairy
tale prince to a single Russian woman. Guys like this are
scarce in Russia and not available for long.
In contrast, good-looking women are in abundance in Russia,
since the tough competition drives women to perfect their
looks.
Historically, during the 20th century Russia had many wars,
with World War II alone taking 20 million lives and another 20
million of people died in Stalin’s concentration camps. Nearly
90% of those victims were men. After the war, simply having a
man was a blessing. Then there was the 14-year Afghanistan
conflict in which hundreds of thousands of young Russian men
died. Throughout the entire 20th century Russian women had to
compete to ensure they had a husband.
Now they've got Chechnya - since 1993, just a few years after
Russian troops left Afghanistan.
It is scientifically proven that where there are many more
women in society than men, men tend to pursue short-term sexual
strategies and are unwilling to commit. Along with other
cultural moments, such as traditions of hard drinking and male
chauvinism in Russia, it is no wonder that contemporary Russian
women seize the opportunities offered by modern technologies
and elect to broaden their horizons in their search for a
suitable mate.
