The mysterious allure of a Russian woman has also led to many myths. There are many misconceptions and stereotypes but once you get to know these ladies, you will realise they’re actually quite far from the truth. We’ve discussed the facts behind six common myths below.
Myth1: Russian girls are shy, submissive housewives
Fact: This myth originates from the belief that most Russian girls are taught from an early age the importance of taking care of their husbands, being loyal to him and how to cater to him. They usually understand the importance of being respectful to their husbands. A number of Russian ladies still believe in letting the man be the leader and head of the relationship, hence they rarely compete for superiority with the men. This is what makes many men mistakenly consider them to be submissive.
Myth 2: Russian girls only want a ticket out of Russia
Fact: Many men believe that these girls are simply looking for a green card or an express one way ticket out of Russia. This is another misinformed belief, because just like girls from other countries, no one wants to be away from their families. An average Russian family set up is actually a very close knit one and very central to one’s life and so very few would want to leave their family to go and marry in a foreign land. However, since there are not enough men for all the girls in Russia, some of them have to look for love from other places away from home.
Myth 3: Russian girls are high maintenance
Fact: This misconception comes from the fact that most of the Russian girls you see on Russiancupid.com or even on TV are well made up, wear glamorous clothes and always look very fancy and sophisticated. However, they are not always high maintenance, most Russian women simply like to look good. Men are often afraid of dating Russian girls because they think that the girls need their money to maintain expensive lifestyles. The truth is, their lifestyles are not expensive and they don’t need a man’s money to look as gorgeous as they do, most Russian ladies are just looking for real love and not money.
Myth 4: Russian girls hate Russian men
Fact: Naturally, a large percentage of Russian girls would love to find and marry nice man from Russia; however, they look for men who are not Russian because there are not enough men in their own country. It is said that Russia has an unbelievable men to women ratio of 1:10. This means that there is a scarcity of enough Russian men to marry these girls. The women usually have to compete amongst themselves to find a good man. So the ladies sometimes begin to look for men from other countries simply because they can hardly get nice decent men in their country and not because they hate Russian men.
Myth 5: Russian girls are poor and miserable
Fact: Not all Russian girls are desperate, poor or miserable. It is true that Russia is the largest country in the world and many Russians still live under the poverty line. However, a large percentage of the girls you will meet on a dating site like RussianCupid.com are well educated with university degrees who can even communicate in basic (and even fluent) English. They are not poor, illiterate girls as many men tend to believe. They usually are simply girls who live a decent life but are looking good men to love.
Myth 6: Russian girls will date any foreign man
Fact: Many men believe that Russian girls will fall for any man so long as he is not from their country. Truth is, just like most girls,they just want a caring and loving man who will treat them right and not necessarily just old rich men as many believe.
The reason why some Russian women seek love on the internet is not because they are desperate and will take just any man who they come across, it is usually because they are looking for good men and they hope to find that online.
