The Fashion of Dating Russian Women

Sara — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 03:36:50 +0000

You can get by with sitting in your sweats and t-shirt when the woman you are dating is on the other side of the world. She doesn’t know that there’s a hole in your sock while the two of you chat online or write letters back and forth.

If you plan on going over to Russia to meet her, that causal comfortable style needs to stay back on the couch back home. Russians, especially women, are among some of the most fashion conscious in the world. In fact, you are going to want to be well dressed in your photo also, because if you aren’t in a suit and tie, you probably won’t get a letter back. You definitely do not want to wear shorts or a low buttoned shirt. Showing too much skin will insult Russian women. And if you have a tattoo or ear piercing? Save it for later in the relationship.

If you go to Russia, make sure you bring a suit and tie for meeting family members and going to eat at swanky restaurants. Make sure you have new clothes and bring formal pants. If you must wear jeans, they should be designer jeans. You don’t want to forget nice cologne. In short, make sure you look like you take care of yourself.

In Russia, appearances do count, so if you plan to visit the Russian woman you are dating, make sure you take care of the fashion end of things.

Russian Dating Tips: Dating Russian Women That Are Divorced

Sara — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 03:22:55 +0000

Divorce is usually a last resort for a woman in Russia who is unhappy in her relationship. Russian women are loyal and will stay with a bad situation for a while to try to make it work. If you do meet a divorced Russian woman while you are dating, keep in mind that divorce culture is different in Russia than in the West.

While you might notice a number of divorced Russian women on dating sites, it’s not because the divorce is as high as I is in the United States, rather, it has more to do with the difficulty a divorced woman in Russia can have finding a new partner to have a relationship with. If she has children, it is even more difficult.

One of the main reasons for Russian marriages ending is the early age at which Russian couples tie the knot. They are still maturing and developing and find that over the years they have less in common. Other reasons for divorce are alcohol abuse, physical abuse and infidelity.

When a Russian woman has had a bad relationship with a Russian man, she may decide that she does not what to try her luck with another one, so she will start dating foreign men in hopes that she will be treated better and with more respect.

Russian Brides Marrying Foreign Men

Sara — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 19:11:50 +0000

There are an increasing number of Russian brides marrying foreign men. It appears that a large percentage of Russian women who are trying to find husbands from abroad have some very desirable characteristics.

Single Russian women that seek men to marry outside of Russia stand out from their peers because of their higher standards for living and for relationships. They tend to be better educated and come with a more positive life experience. Actually, Russian women also benefit from the outstanding Russian education system which was at its best during the days of the Soviet Union, but is still quite excellent as well as affordable in not free.

You might notice that the Russian woman you are dating has a different sense of finances than American women. This is because most Russians pay in cash, so the awareness of credit cards and charging things is low.

The most important thing to remember about Russian brides is that they ultimately are looking for a relationship that will bring them romance, love, trust and marriage – which isn’t much different than what we all look for in a relationship. They have been brought up to be flexible and adaptable and are good at compromise.

You will find on your search for a suitable marriage partner that Russian brides are well worth the tie and investment.

Russian Dating Tips: Corresponding With Russian Women

Sara — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 03:14:05 +0000

First impressions count, and when your first impression has to be made in writing, you need to take these extra little steps so that you will stand out from the crowd.

When you are getting to know a woman in Russia, most of your initial correspondence will be by writing letters. When you begin to correspond in writing with a Russian woman there are some things you can do to assure that you will impress her. The most important step is to send a typed letter because Russian women will look at that as being cheap. In addition, it can be hard to read handwriting, especially when it is a second language.

Along the lines of language, make sure that you use simple words and phrases if you are writing in English so that you will be understood. It may be better for you to have your first letter translated to Russian. It is not that a Russian woman will not be able to understand your English, rather, it is that she will better understand what you are saying if it is in her native tongue.

Conversely, if the woman you are dating is able to write to you in Russian and you arrange to have the letter translated, then you can get a better sense of her personality and warmth. It is ok to use software translation software to translate letters that she writes to you, but do not use software to write to her – hire a professional.

Things to DO When You Are Dating Russian Women

Sara — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 04:26:32 +0000

DO take the time to answer each and every Russian woman who takes the time to correspond with you. Even if you are going to tell them that you just don’t think they are quite what you are looking for. Letting someone down gently is better than not answering them at all.

DO make sure to attach a recent photograph when you send your first correspondence. You are probably getting in touch with many women during your dating process and vice versa. By including a photograph and repeating information from your profile you will increase the chances that the Russian women you are interested in dating will remember you. And speaking of descriptions…

DO make sure that you write a profile and self-description that is in line with the type of Russian women you want to date. What kind of men are the women you are interested in looking for? Read their profiles and make sure you list your qualities that they are looking for in a man.

Do remember to send the women you are dating mementos and gifts for birthdays and certain holidays like New Years, Russian Women’s Day (March 8th) and St. Valentine’s Day. The gifts that Russian women will enjoy most while you are dating are flower and candies. When you have been dating for a while, you can buy her a dress, jewelry or gifts for any children she may have.

Beware When Meeting Russian Girls Online

Sara — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 23:06:41 +0000

While most Russian girls that you will meet online are serious about meeting the man of their dreams and getting married, there are always people out there that will try to take advantage of kind-hearted men that are searching for brides.

Online marriage fraud has been reported in Barnaul, which is located in southern Siberia and it involves hundreds of girls that are communicating with mostly American men online.

The way the scam works is that the women advertising as Russian girls looking for marriage will give the unsuspecting guy a sad story about their family life or poor economic status and ask for money.

Russian girls are not the only ones trying to scam foreign men out of their money – Russian men are trying to get into the act too. Some go as far as to pose as Russian girls online luring unsuspecting men into sending them money in hopes of getting a visit from their new online “friend”.

The most important thing to remember if you are looking for a Russian girl to date online is that the serious ones will not ask you for money. In fact, if a Russian girl you are corresponding with starts to bring up money and starts asking you for money fairly early in your correspondence, you should consider that a huge red flag.

Five Things to Know About Russian Brides Marriage

Sara — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 03:01:09 +0000

1. You don’t get married to a Russian bride in a church; the ceremony takes place at the department of registration as a civil ceremony. You can get married in a church, but it is not considered an official ceremony.

2. There are no bridesmaids or grooms or flower girls. Instead, there are witnesses, usually the best friends of the Russian bride and groom, who are in charge of planning the wedding festivities, create speeches and make up contests and games for the guests.

3. The reception is the most important part of a Russian marriage. Drinking is mandatory. The reception starts with a toast to the Russian bride and groom after which the wine is declared bitter and the couple must kiss to make it sweet. This happens all night long.

4. The second day of the Wedding, because when you have a Russian bride the celebration lasts for two days, is more relaxed and typically spent with family and close friends. There is plenty of traditional Russian food and games that are played to raise money to give to the newlyweds.

5. If you decide to marry a Russian bride, you can have two ceremonies, one in the United States and one in Russia!

Russian Women Through History and Folklore

Sara — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 03:10:54 +0000

One way to get to know more about Russian women is through studying the history and folklore of the country. There are many Russian fairy tales that tell the story of the character and personality of the Russian women. You must understand that the moral of most Russian folktales is that you can only gain happiness through suffering that will explain a lot about women from Russia.

Russian fairy tales are also read by young Russian women and men when growing up. They learn about the beauty of women, what sorts of men are suitable for marriage as well as teaching behavior and the importance of household skills.

The stories of Red Cap, Masha and Bear and Three Bears teach that it is good to stay indoors because it is safe and you can control your future life. Some stories, such as Vasilisa The Splendid, Father Frost and Wee Little Havroshechka teach that it is important to be able to clean house, have good sewing skills, cook meals and most importantly, be quiet when needed. A Russian woman learns when growing up that if she is a good girl and works hard she will get a dowry.

It has also been considered bad through the history of Russia for a woman to remain unmarried and they have been exposed to this through stories of romance like Sleeping Beauty, Sivko-Burko and Koschev the Immoral. And stories like The Frog Princess, Sea Tsar and Vasilisa the Wise teach the ideas of romance and faithfulness.

Tips On Finding Russian Brides – The DO NOTs

Sara — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 03:42:58 +0000

Here are some tips on what NOT to do when you are searching for a Russian bride. If you can learn these simple things it will make your search much more efficient. Obviously, since you are not Russian, many of these tips will relate to the cultural differences between Russian women and women from other countries.

DO NOT assume that Russian women are going to act like Western women, especially American women. Some people suggest that you forget everything you know about women, the differences are that great and additionally, you are not familiar with the cultural and socio-economic conditions of the country so you will have a lot to learn.

DO NOT be late to any meetings you might arrange between yourself and Russian women in your search for a Russian bride, or even worse – not show up for the meeting entirely. If you want to marry a Russian bride you need to prove you are reliable and dependable. So many Russian women who are searching for their dream husband are stood up so many times that if you are even slightly late for your meeting, she will assume you are showing her up too and she will just leave.

DO NOT assume that you will find a Russian bride just because you have an American passport; Russian women want to get married for love and security, not for citizenship. They already live in one of the largest countries in the world and they are very proud of that fact.

Along the same vein, DO NOT assume that you know everything there is to know about Russia. Let them tell you about their country. You have not lived there so do not insult your potential Russian brides by spouting off a bunch of stuff about their country that you read on the internet.

Tips On Finding Russian Brides – The DO NOTs

Dating Russian Girls – Age Difference Considerations

Sara — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 04:33:33 +0000

If you think about it, there shouldn’t really be that much of a difference between Russian girls and American girls in terms of age difference when you are meeting and dating. You might be surprised though to hear from Russian girls that are ten to fifteen years younger than you during your search for a potential bride. In America that is not the norm, but in Russia, women mature mentally and emotionally at an earlier age than their American counterparts. They feel that dating someone their own age is like dating a teenager, so they feel more comfortable with a partner who is older than they are. It also makes them feel much more secure.

This can work to your benefit if you are older; let us say in your late 50′ or early 60’s. You should not plan on meeting and marrying a 20 year old Russian girl, but you will probably have 30 and 40 year old Russian women that will be interested in meeting you and getting to know you. There are always exceptions; for example, if you are famous or rich you can easily get much younger Russian girls to date you! (Or any girl for that matter.)

The myth is that Russian girls want to find husbands that are much older than them, but reality is that a 10-year age difference will usually be acceptable. A 15-year difference is still doable and you will find a small number of Russian girls that will marry someone 20 years older than they are. Anything more than a 20-year difference however is taking a serious risk that it will not last.

Take age difference considerations to heart when placing your ads to meet Russian girls and you will be well on your way to meeting your potential bride!

Long Distance Russian Dating Techniques

Sara — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 02:54:45 +0000

If you have decided to broaden your horizons in your search for the perfect woman to date and potentially marry you may have decided to try to meet some Russian women. If you are in Russia, this will make your task much easier. If you are not Russian, and you are located in another country or continent entirely then you have a couple options open to you in terms of Russian dating.

You could just take a couple of weeks and go to Russia and do traditional dating activities like dining, dancing and checking out the local culture, but chances are you do not have the luxury of taking a couple weeks out of your life to get to know someone a half a world away. Most Russian women look for financial stability in a potential mate, so that means you’ll be more attractive to them if you are hard working and earning money.

Fortunately with the internet and telephone you can reach out to attractive single Russian women and cultivate a Russian dating situation using those methods until you meet someone that you want to arrange to meet in person. There are many ways to meet Russian women; some are discussed in Russian Dating section. Once you decide how to go about it, you need to communicate to the lady that you are serious about potentially meeting her and that you are not just looking for a pen pal. It may be dating, but Russian dating is serious and usually leads to marriage.

Email is an easy way to meet and stay in touch, but seriously, a handwritten letter will really win a Russian woman over. You may also want to think about using a translation service to communicate with her in Russian. You should initially address Russian women with a ‘Hi’ or ‘Hello’ in your communications, save ‘Dear’ for later after you know her much better. Things that Russian women will want to know about you are your weight, height and age as well as your martial status, if you have children, your educational level and profession and if you smoke or drink. You’ll also want to mention your hobbies, religion and where you live. You must really try to be yourself to catch the interest of Russian woman in order to date her. And remember: the best place to start your Russian online Dating is right here, at Lovers Planet!

Luckily for you there are a number of Russian newspapers available online, like the Moscow Times and the Moscow News that you can use as resources to scope out potential activities that you and your date can do while you are getting to know each other.

Just walking around and enjoying the beautiful Russian architecture with your date will give her an opportunity to show off her knowledge of the country to you. Sites you will want to see include the Kremlin, Red Square, the State Tretyakov Gallery and of course Izmaylovo Market where you can pick up souvenirs for your family and friends back home with the assistance of your lovely date of course!

Most Russian women enjoy culture, so going to an art museum or musical performance can also impress your date too, especially if you have already picked out a trendy restaurant to take her dining at beforehand.

Remember, your Russian date will want you to try to impress her, but she is also going to want to spend some time with you getting to know you in a casual environment if she wants to consider you seriously for marriage.

Cheap phone calls: More on making that “love” (okay, voice) connection!

Sara — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 02:59:06 +0000

As I mentioned last time, the Internet does more than just let us meet and date women halfway around the world via pictures and text. We now can also talk online – as in voice to voice. Follow the links below for a technical description, but basically, it’s all about talking online with a headset for free or way less than a traditional phone company. If you haven’t tried one of these voice via Internet services lately, then you should. Here’s a breakdown of one of the better known services, Skype, which is owned by Ebay.

Skype is free if the person you call has also downloaded Skype. In this way, it’s a lot like glorified chatting on some sort of old fashioned instant messaging service. You’re online; they’re online. They use Skype; you use Skype. It’s all free. (As long as you have a headset with a microphone or a similar setup. Check out this story for more info.)

Or, with SkpeOut, you can call any landline or cellphone of someone who doesn’t have or isn’t using Skype at the time. Including all charges, the cost per minute is 4.4 cents for Russia in general, 5.6 cents for a Russian mobile phone, 2.4 cents for Moscow, and 2.1 cents for St. Petersburg. (Note on this: You have to buy credit, and you have to use it or lose it in 90 days. So be sure to buy in moderation.) For $38 a year, you can also get a landline number that anyone, anywhere can call at anytime, and that comes with free voicemail service. PCWorld has a story on it here.

Here is Skype’s prices (including international rates to other countries) and what’s free. There’s some discussion about security and legality, and if you’re interested, then visit here for an overview of the issues.

Another company getting rave reviews is Jajah. Learn more here. It’s not as slick (or as well publicized) as Skype, but it works WITH your phone, no headsets to buy. And the international rates are pretty cheap.

Making a Love Connection: Free Voicemail Services

Sara — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 03:08:31 +0000

Ever been frustrated at spending big bucks on disposable phone cards and not really being able to give out a number to be called back! Or, been concerned about giving out your home phone number online to someone you have never met? Well, there’s a new way to making connecting overseas or with anyone you meet on a dating Web site even easier: a so-called “social phone number” that connects to a FREE online voicemail box.

You can read all about it online in the New York Times, but here’s a run down courtesy of LoversPlanet.com of everything you need to know.

Basically, by signing up with one (or all) of several sites you can get a phone number (or four or five!) that is about as permanent as a free e-mail account. Just like you can sign up and later forget about an e-mail box, you can sign up for a phone number, for free, for a short time or as long as you want. That’s a long way from a traditional pager or pay-per-use (or month) voice mail service, and from signing up with a traditional phone company, which charges a connection fee and monthly service fees.

There’s a couple major sites: PrivatePhone.com, simplevoicebox.com (which also offers pay by the minute conferencing), j2.com (slightly more expensive conferencing and fax services), and k7.net (similar to the first two but with less bells and whistles).

PrivatePhone.com is one of the biggest services offering free voice mail. You can sign up at their site (no commitments, no credit cards) and receive up to 10 voicemails that you can listen to from your cell phone or from your computer. You can pick from their numbers a local or otherwise area code, which can really enable a greater level of privacy if that’s a concern for you.

One of the cool features of PrivatePhone.com is that you can post a voicemail to a Web site, like a blog or Myspace, which can give you the opportunity to show off your new dating interest to all your friends.

As that New York Times story points out, being too anonymous can be a turn off, but the opportunity to make that initial connection can really break down barriers. More to come on talking on the cheap. Check back in!

First Impressions: How to take a great profile picture!

Sara — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 16:55:46 +0000

With online dating, first impressions are often everything. And what do you usually see first? A picture. Because of that, it’s important that you not only pick something that shows off you at your best, but also that you pick something that will catch a woman’s eye.

If the pictures you already have are dated or the kind of thing that an ex has e-mailed you, then it may work best to take a new picture. Here’s an important piece of advice: Don’t use pictures taken of you with another woman (or a more attractive male friend). Cropping the picture so only her arm shows doesn’t cut it, either. A woman wants to picture her arm there. And how can you do that if some other scantily clad women has already cuddled up?

Scared to step up to the camera or that webcam? Here are some tips from Tyra Banks, who hosts America’s Next Top Model: Don’t face the camera head-on, but turn slightly. This can shed a few pounds. Face the light (Also: Grab a lamp if you are by your computer. The light from your screen can wash out your color.). Keep your arms out (again with the slimming) and your teeth parted (this will make the picture look a little more natural). Lose the shoulder pads (unless you’re wearing a suit) and pick a shirt in a solid color.

If that doesn’t work for you or if you really want to make a splash, consider going to have your portrait taken. Some sites online charge big bucks to hook you up with a photographer, but you can do this yourself for less than $10 at places like Wal-Mart or Sears. Many studios like this allow you to purchase your pictures online.

HINT: Right now, Target is also offering a $5 portrait until Jan. 18. The sitting is free, and you walk away with a professional 8 by 10 photo that you can scan (or pay them to scan and e-mail you). Visit this link for the necessary coupon.

But do they work? Marriage rates and Visas made easy

Sara — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 22:51:52 +0000

Amidst all the debate about immigration here in the United States, the media has trotted out some sob stories about couples who wed only to see their relationship crumble. Pressures from family back home, the attempt to make both cultures work at the same time, unrealistic expectations. Some of these news stories make these marriages look like Greek tragedies. But is there truth to these stories? Well, for marriages made on sites like this one: the answer is a resounding NO!

According to the United States Immigration service, these marriages made through services like offered on LoversPlanet.com, “have a lower divorce rate than the nation as a whole.” Compared to about 50 percent for regular American-American relationships, more than 80 percent of the types of relationships being formed here, now have lasted during the time the bureau studied them. Anywhere between four to six thousand men and women will meet up with that perfect somebody every year.

Here’s how these relationships are different from those sob stories on the news: The U.S. immigration service offers what’s called a K-1 Visa (also known as the “fiancée visa”). It may sound like a credit card offer, but it’s actually a new way to make the process of bringing your fiancée here. Established in 2000, the process involves filing an application and an interview at a consulate’s office, among other things. More information is available by clicking here. And the wait? Usually about five to six months. Compared to the way the process used to work, this is a huge improvement and a huge opportunity.

For a step-by-step guide on the process, try this site. It has an easy and readable flow chart that will walk you through the process.

But, if you’re eager to visit now and to make sure the relationship works, visitor visas are much easier to obtain. Check back in to this site for more information!

The Holidays and Russian Women

Sara — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 15:48:32 +0000

Now that the holiday season is upon us, we often get to thinking about family. Family meals, family memories, and our own family. Finding a Russian bride can be a great way to start making your own holiday memories.

As we mentioned in our last post, Russian women love so many of those values that our mothers might have: making sure their families are fed and their children get the highest quality care. While many Russian women are not necessarily religious, the important thing about their orthodoxy is tradition, the kind of thing that makes a holiday memory and creates the type of day you see on the covers of Christmas cards.

So wondering what Thanksgiving would be like in Russia? Well, traditionally, they do not celebrate this distinctively American holiday. However, the tradition of getting together as a family to celebrate life and each other is alive and well! Many Russian women know how to make pumpkin pie and often serve cranberry sauce as a decoration or a condiment. (Note: Many Russian women cook from scratch, not from cans!) Even if they don’t have all of the options for food as we do in America, they do highly value gathering together. And, as they do on their numerous holidays, uncorking the vodka bottle to celebrate! Since they don’t have Thanksgiving, that means no family arguments about who does what or who can or cannot watch (eat in front of) football.

For more information on Russian food and cuisine, try out this Web site. Don’t be afraid of any of the odd sound foods! Many of these are “traditional” Russian dishes, the kind of thing we in American eat on special holidays and shelve the rest of the year.

So get off this blog, browse through this site, and find someone special to connect with! You might really have someone to give thanks for next year.
