| People overseas very often wonder why Russian ladies hunt for boy-friends outside Russia.
First, the current demographic situation in Russia is very acute. Females significantly outnumber males, especially women over thirty. So, 30-year-olds are very unlikely to get married in the motherland. If a woman has children, she is also unlikely to put on a wedding dress. Second, there is a high percentage of Russian males addicted to alcohol. Alcohol addiction does not only ruin males' health but also their families. Third, due to the constantly changing economic situation in the country the majority of Russian women are employed, commonly on a full-time basis, to supplement their husbands' income or very often to provide for their families as the only breadwinner. Yet, after a tiring working day they have a lot of chores to perform at home, such as taking care of kids and husband and keeping house. Infrequent are cases when Russian males can earn enough, so that their wives can stay at home. Russian males commonly spend time with friends, chase after other females, drink and do not help about the house.
Females who lack confidence, put up with the terrible behavior of their husbands, others petition for divorce.
Therefore, desperate Russian ladies leave the motherland in search of stable, secure life overseas. Educated ladies speaking a foreign language, preferably English, find it easier to establish relationships with foreigners, for they overcome ethnic and language differences and get accustomed to a new life style quicker. Their ability to make a career and perform household chores simultaneously makes them perfect partners for foreign men.
A large number of Russian females suppose that foreign males make better life partners, because they are more liberated, family-oriented than Russian males, as well as will pitch in with the household duties. They assume that they will create a stable financially secure union with foreign males. A large number of Russian females also believe that overseas they will have more opportunities for self-realization and can ensure a better childhood for their kids than in the motherland.
There are numerous examples of happy international marriages with Russian ladies. If the union is based on reciprocal trust, respect, understanding and affection, cultural differences will not be an obstacle to create a stable happy family. |
