Hello. I am a Russian girl. this site is not bad, it can be very usefull for people who decide to travel to Russia. But to be honest I got sick reading the article "Young Russian Women". Are you describing animals or something? Confused "This interesting sort of animals, "russian women", usually has almond eyes. These animals are tall, thin, legs of these species are usually long, they prefer to jump on amazingly high heel shoes. Usually animals of this population are blond. These species have pink cheeks in Winter. They look pretty when they don't wear too much make-up." Blah, blah, blah.. We all are different, with different (short and long) legs, with different cheeks and eyes. The guy who wrote this article should check his head because I doubt he has any brain. Evil or Very Mad

By the way, the author is not a guy..

Cheers

Natalie is absolutely right! Although I couldn't find the original article to which she refers, any article which devolves people into types is way off the mark. I spend a lot of time in Russia, particularly St. Petersburg, and I love to watch Russian women, particularly because of their diversity. As she so accurately points out, Russian women are tall and short, thin, fat and in-between, dark and fair, and all of them lovely in their own way. Perhaps the only accurate generalization made in the article is that, yes, most Russians (and visitors, also) have pink cheeks in the winter.

Natalia,
I am glad that you commented on this slanted article. You are right, it is very sexist. Obviously Russian women are very diverse with unique qualities and characteristics just like Russian men and all other women and men in the world. Obviously this article was a marketing tool written to attract foreign men to the site. It might have been at subconscious level, but even so it is wrong.

I am glad that the site administrator is posting your response. Thank you Dmitri.

Why did you react on this old thread instead of the new one in 'Russian People?....

Sad Your article on young Russian women is so sexist. I'm not Russian but I'm from Eastern Europe myself (Serbian). It is true that Eastern European women in general do nowdays look very attractive. This is because the West has fallen into decadence. There is very few people in the West who care about culture. They are obsessed with eating their burgers and chips. The West is destroying itself after destroying the half of the world (and still continues).
But I don't agree with you promoting the Russia as a source of "young, fresh meat" to the foreigners. You are attracting the Western pedophiles and all sorts of maniacs to come to your country. The Russian women are already (just like many Eastern European women) the victims of "sex trafficking". Eastern Eurpopean women are a lot smarter and precious to be sold to the dirty men from the West. And not to generalise-not all of them are like that but we have to admit the West has the greatest number of pedophiles. This article unfortunately will fuel the "demand" part of sex trafficking. You should try and protect Russian women as they are the core of your society and to try to sell them around the world.

Crying or Very sad The problem of trafficking is so acute and serious and destroys so many lives that you should think twice before you market Russian girls like this. I live in Australia and you want be proud if I tell you that men here seek Eastern Europeans (including Russians) for one reason " being exotic and good in bed". I have 2 uni degrees and still find it hard to attract men for my brain and not my looks. So I can say that you and the ones like you have managed to give the reputation to Easter European women the reputation of of "Phillipino and Thailand women" who for ages have been considered "cheap"-wrongly, they are victims of pedophiles from Australia, USA, England and other Western countries. Think hard of consequences of your articles............... I presume you are a proud Russian male/female writing this-what can you be proud of when the males strat viewing your women like this?

i totally agree that a man who is thinking so low of Russian or Ukrainian women should not even think of going there to meet potentional wife! The women everywhere in the world love to be LOVED!!!

Sometimes you can see a 53 y.o guy complaining about his Russian ex-girl friend (23 or 25) for being after his money! Well, you were after her body, she was after your money!!!!!!!
