How Eastern Europe women present themselves in dating sites

Hi all, I recently joined this site and I wonder what are your thoughts about how Russian/Eastern women in general present themselves in dating sites. I have visited a few other Russian dating sites and there is a familiar pattern with the kind of written profiles and the pictures they use to present themselves. A lot of their written profiles have a simple, sometimes poetic and romantic context, unlike Western women which in many cases have a more in-your-face and realistic view of things.

I have read elsewhere on the forums some of the reasons why Eastern European women try much harder to look as great as possible in pictures but a lot of those pictures also have certain sensual/sexual context (depending how you view it). Picture options may include poses such as with bikinis or revealing postures with a certain way of dressing and a lot of cleavage showing.

I know some or much of that is just game play and those women are not necessarily looking for a serious relationship but I want to know if in general it is just a cultural thing and a way of thinking. Having been born in Latin America I know that many Latin American women present themselves in a similar way.

Any thoughts would be welcome.

As Im sure you know there are more woman in thoes countries than men and then some of the men are not interested in any woman and then there are men that are interested in the woman but have no intention of marriening so the number of men the woman has to chose from shrinks even further

So they put the pictures that make them look the best or will get our attention first so they get more contacts thus they have more to chose from

an is that not why we are all here (to find the best person that apeals to us) and we too have to look our best also to attract that lady that has got our attention

Hi, I'm a Venezuelan, so Latin American born, and yes here in my country the women try always to look so sexy and beautiful as they can, so I think is the same with russian women. I don't see this like something bad, it is natural in femenine nature to use their physic attributs to attract us, they know we are strongly stimuled by eyes. And that's ok while it is well used, with class and elegance at the same time, and that's the big majority in the photos in this site.

Of course, that't not all neither the most important, but it's very nice to admire the russian women beauty

Also, not all the women appear in very seductive look, almost all of them look very elegant, classyst, femenine and modern dressed. They have very good taste and concious about their femenity, even with only a jeans and t-shirt.

I think you must not worry a lot about how beautiful she looks, because all of them are very attractive, only try to make real contact with her and see if she is what you are looking for.

Thanks for the feedbacks. Yes I understand it is a cultural thing and of course why not make yourself as beautiful as you can. The only problem is that in some Russian sites (maybe but not necessarily this one) some of those pictures are so 'photoshopped' that the reality is so different and kind of disappointing but I am not really complaining. Most women are naturally beautiful on those sites anyway

Nice to know there is a Venezuelan pana (friend) on this site

So maybe the questions are:

Are they naturally attractive or is it just a photo show because they believe we expect this? and
do they feel they MUST do this to be noticed??

I know that I give far more attention to a photo that looks like it is natural and not altered and
I would much rather see a nice natural photo, than a professional photo.

Most times I find imperfections very attractive. When the photo looks "shopped" it makes me wonder what they are trying to hide or cover up.

I hope they understand that even though we all wish to be with an attracted women, what I may find attractive may not be what you may find attractive.. and from my point of view, I prefer a woman who has the confidence in herself to show herself naturally. Dressed in the way SHE enjoys and feels comfortable with.

If it is a mini skirt and high heels, so be it... If it is on the beach,, no problem, but if it is jeans and a simple shirt.. I see no problem with that either, as long as her clothes fit her personality

Hi, yes I'm a Venezuelan pana Have you ever been here?

I've found very similar the effort women make, in Venezuela and Russia, to look attractive. The difference are in the different types of physical.

And it's right, when the woman looks very "photoshoped" in her photos, in reality can be like other person. But those are very few cases here. I've seen a site: Anastasia, where all the girls look like models, and that site has very bad reputation.

Good luck and success!

I agree with jscottv in that I much prefer to see a woman in her natural beauty as much as possible because I would expect to see the same face in person.

This is for VenezuelanMan. Yes I was born in Venezuela but left the country at 13. I have visited it a handful of times since but my family and relatives do not live there any more. It is a very beautiful country indeed.

Yes, Venezuela is very beautiful, warm and sunny days almost all year. Very friendly people and great beaches.

The only bad has been always the politic class

I think you should focus on the PHOTOGRAPHER!

Some women are clearly shown in photos shot by a professional photographer.
Sometimes this might be an indication of something is not what it pretends to be..
Why would a poor girl go to a professional photographer? As I understand it: going to a professional photographer is very expensive. And he/she may decide how the girl is presented!
It is very useful to study the photos you get! A photo may show something else than that which is told in the mails:
Here is an example: A woman sends a photo of herself at her job. And in the photo you see her sitting next to a printer and there is a usb-cable hanging over it. So the printer is not attached to any computer! - The calender with the company logo on is the only other thing to "verify" that this photo is taken in an office!
- Another thing: In her mail this woman cannot spell the company's name correctly, even if she claims to be a secretary.
It does make you wonder, doesn't it?

Of course the great majority of women are just like us and want to find theír ideal partner! - I believe there IS a difference in Russian women and western women: They use more time on themselves with make up and clothes than most western women do..

Again, I think you are "spot on" DrClaw.. I have even seen two girls, from supposedly two different countries, in two separate listings, posing in front of the same exact rock, in the same exact location, in exactly the same pose... The scammers really must think we are too dumb to notice!

I would like to add something here I find amazing...

I was reading the Women's site and they were complaining that they keep getting contacts from men who want hot conversation and photo exchanges. Then, when you look up THEIR photos.. what you find are very hot poses.. even some in neglige' posing on a bed.. then they wonder WHY they get emails like that!

Do they not realize that if you are looking for a husband, you should dress like what a husband would hope to find. AND if you dress like a.. well.. "hot date".. that men looking for "hot dates" is who will contact them! Really, it is very amazing to me.

lol !!!

Yes sometimes I find it difficult to differentiate between women who are serious and those who just want to have fun even if the pictures have semi-hot content. Some of those women I communicated with in the past that had serious intentions, according to their written profiles, have turned out to be scammers so I would always be very cautious. I guess one has to try things out and discover for ourselves.

It is always a good idea to use your common sense!

Sometimes men are cheated, because they "forget" to think..

Things take time! It gives us a pleasant feeling, if an attractive woman shows us interest.

But real women don't show such "strong" affection after a couple of mails.

I have been the victim of a dating scam at least two times - and maybe some times I have not discovered yet

Consider it a useful lesson (if you can). This may lead you to some thoughts about yourself: What is it really that I want from my future partner..

Being too naive is not a positive thing, if you want to build a family! Dating is a serious business for both women and men..
