There seems to be questions around the TalkLounge about the difference between american women and Russian women, along with a somewhat heated debate, therefore i have decided to see what the outcome of a pole would show. I personally live in the US and claim that the majority of american women, (i said MAJORITY), aren't worth the price it costs to take them to dinner, (at McDonalds mind you). Happy polling!

I like american women. They are fun to talk to, they are beautiful. I like how american women dress. They know how to emphasize their femininity with the clothes, makeup, attitude.

And when a man wants to take a woman to a McDonalds' for dinner it's a reflection on him, not her.

Quite a few russian ladies wear these gaudy looking clothes and a gaudy looking makeup, but even then they are beutiful. If they could tone down a little some of the things they do to themselves and just use some taste they would be even more gorgeous.

Anything but Swedish or Finnish - they are way too independent. Why do they even need men anyway???

What's wrong with independent women? Men were supposed to be independent I believe, why would they not be allowed...

Well, when a woman needs a man only for mating purposes to produce children I think I can make two conclusions out of it:

She is selfish
She is very independent

The tendency in Sweden (correct me if I am wrong) is for a woman to get a man to impregnate her and then ... see you later. Not all of them are like that but a growing number is. Finnish women are similar to the Swedish women in that.

It's selfish, overly independent and self-distructing.

I agree with the first part of your post but you can find this kind of women in any country, BTW I think those women are mostly lesbian who wants some children.

As for swedish and finnish women... I see a lot of swedish families every summer (seems swedish like France a lot) and I didn't notice any difference.

I met also some swedish girls when I was student and again nothing particular Wink

One thing I notice, they don't hesitate to have children even when they are student (in France and most of Latin countries it is not the case) and they accept the risk their male partner could leave (usually when you are 20 years old man you don't really know what you want... ).

Sweden does everything for it's people to get more children and prevent the aging of it's population Razz They need it to support their extensive social system. It must be easier for those girls (compared to southern European countries) to raise a kid without daddy being around.

It's ok, it gives those women a more equal position in society, as it compensates a comparative disadvantage to men on the job-market. If they need men only for sex and breeding, like some say, the same might go for the men in that society. Men traditionally have a big advantage if they prefer to live in such a way.. Why should the women get all the criticism here. Equal rights..

Maybe, but not equal job opportunities. Sorry. Do not kid yourself, women will never be like men. Ha!

Can you lift heavy objects at work? Let me think for a sec.... NO! Men can. What about military service, can you perform your tasks there as well as men do? NO! On top of that you have to deal with the periods. Can you run just as fast as men do in sports competitions? NO! Your body structure is way different and is not intended for hard handling. Are there more men scientists? YES! Are there more men who succeed and become wealthy? YES! (Women like to take advantage of that though... it's all about money, you know). Are there more men who are great musicians? YES! Leaders? YES!

I am not saying this to humiliate women, but I think you should understand that it makes any decent men laugh when they hear women say that we are supposedly equal in everything. Women are created to nurture, to be mothers. That's why you have certain things in your body to promote a MOTHERHOOD and not a manhood.

Go ahead, rip this post into pieces!

Oh, I know. I am shocked that nobody has cussed at me yet...

But to make sure I am not against women I want to say that women have many wonderful qualities. One of them that admire a lot is patience. Women are a million times more patient than guys. In many ways they are smarter than guys. They understand life and people better. Their love is always more comitted than a guy's love is. They have a fantastic intuition. On and on I can go.

Oh. Please no. Dressing tacky is where Russian women have no equal. It is their whole raison d'etre.

Marrying a Russian woman with taste would be like marrying a French woman who couldn't cook. No point at all.
