About
Russian-Western marriages
Marrying a foreigner
became a usual thing in Russia. The number of
marriage agencies doubles every year, with a few
hundred of them in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and
few dozen in any regional city. Almost all people in
big cities have a friend or acquaintance they know
personally who found a husband abroad.
The position of society
towards such marriages is obviously negative both in
Russia and in the West. Nevertheless, there is a
need for this type of connections from both sides.
It looks like the number of Internet dating agencies
which specialize on representing dating women on the
internet also doubles every 365 days with 5-7 new
agencies registered by dating directories every
week.
Thus, we have two types
of stable representations about marrying dating
women on the internet: positive,
originated from dating and introduction agencies,
and negative, raised by society. In my
opinion, they both are far away from the truth. I
call these representations "myths", and consider
them in pairs. The most common myths are discussed
on this page, I've picked out 9 of them.

When you have a chance
to visit Russia, you definitely will be surprised
seeing so many beautiful women on the streets.
Skirts and mini-skirts are still popular among many
Russian ladies, showing their best. Foreigners admit
that Russians dress very neat and stylish. It looks
like they wear designer clothes for any occasion.
dating women on the internet appear to be happy
being women. They are charming, and take a good care
of themselves.
If you put in line a
hundred undressed 18-year-girls from Russia and the
West (please don't ask me where you can get such a
view), it will be almost impossible to see any
difference; but if you take fifty 35-year-old women
from Moscow streets and mix them with 50 ladies from
LA, you'll never be mistaken who is who. They dress
differently; dating women on the internet rarely get
overweight with time, and the most noticeable
difference - the expression of their faces. dating
women on the internet look much warmer and charming.
It's difficult to explain; if you are in Russia one
day, you will see for yourself.
The old proverb says:
intelligence of a girl depends on her current
hairstyle and dress. I can say the same about
woman's beauty. You will meet very beautiful women
all over the world, dating women on the internet
just make special efforts to look their best.
The bad news is: it
will come over soon after you beautiful Russian wife
is here. First months after leaving Russia I looked
like a model from a magazine picture, now my usual
clothes are jeans and a T-shirt. It's much more
convenient, less time consuming, and I look exactly
the same as all women around. In Russia I would
never step away from home without proper make-up,
now I don't touch my cosmetics bag for weeks.

dating women on the
internet look so beautiful on pages of Internet
catalogues that you wonder why are such nice
ladies are alone and have to look for partners
abroad.
The truth is that all
women featured by Internet dating agencies were
chosen from thousands of applicants. Most photos
received by agencies in response to their ads
feature ordinary, hardly attractive women, and there
are no doubts why they are alone. The average
Internet Russian dating agency publishes about
15-20% of the data received. Some agencies select
only 1 from 20-40 candidates. The important
parameters for publication of a woman's data are:
- Age.
Agencies seldom publish data of women older 40
years.
- Beauty.
Agencies do not publish photos of ugly or fat
women.
- Children.
Agencies prefer to publish data of women who
don't have children or have only one child.
- Language
abilities. Agencies prefer women who
can speak English.
The reason for all the
above mentioned restrictions is obvious: Men do
prefer young, good looking women who don't have
children and can communicate in English. Because
it's men who pay for the addresses, it's only a
waste of time and Web space to publish photos of old
or unattractive women.
If you look through
websites where you can receive women's addresses and
send letters for free, or the ones with a system of
club membership, you'll easily pick up the
difference: girls on the sites where you have to pay
seem to be much prettier.
Do agencies publish
photos of models or just pretty women who have never
been looking for relationships abroad? The answer
is: Yes.
It makes me sad; a
while ago I answered NO to this question. But things
change, and not always change for better.
According to the latest
information, there are agencies that deliberately
publish photos of beautiful women who never applied
to their services. The aim of such "agencies" is to
receive money from men for addresses and
corresponding with "ladies". Usually such "agencies"
do not give real women's addresses, all letters are
sent to the agency itself or using its email
forwarding service. "Scam" agencies usually do not
have a website or host it with one of free services
providers.
Look for services that
provide women's postal addresses and phone numbers
in addition to email addresses, and you will be in
better of even if they appear to be more expensive.
Normally, good things aren't cheap or free.
