There were a lot of comments on the Young Russian Women article (http://waytorussia.net/WhatIsRussia/Women/YoungWomen.html) that WTR site admin had the nerve (or thick skin) to publish.

Russian women are said to be 'the most beautiful women in the world'. Many of them have almond eyes. They are tall and thin with long legs on sometimes amazingly high heel shoes. Most of them are blond,
and they have pink cheeks in Winter, they seem like they know what they're doing, they affirm themselves. They look pretty when they don't wear too much make-up.

To prevent this thread from floating away from it's subject.. I have a number of questions, starting with the dreaded article's first paragraph. The first question was already answered by mediashark: having almonds for eyes is quite impossible for any woman. So i will continue with these:

2. Are Russian women tall and thin?
3. Do they have long legs?
4. Do they wear high heels?
5. Are they blond?
6. Do they have pink cheeks in winter?

Now don't try to get away with calling me a sexist pig as well. Because i am not (a pig). Paul Holmes' observation proves so.

Just like all generalization, these are mostly not true.
There are quite a few short and unattractive women in Russia. It just happens that the ones tourists notice are the long-legged beauties. I would add that many women age badly in Russia due to poor medical care, bad environmental situation and unhealthy food. That's not always the case, but I have seen some women that were quite attractive when they were 20, but at 30 they looked quite old.
