My friends and I (we're all Scots) seem to share the impression that many Russian men are dark, surly and very sexy (like Vladimir Mashkov), yet my Polish friend swears most Russian men are blonde, slim with deep-set eyes and 'serious-looking' (like Putin). So what I'd like to know is if I came on holiday to, say, Moscow, would I see more Mashkovs or Putins?

Oh my... I never really took notice which group are more common... Mashkovs and Putins are pretty much extreme ends of the spectrum for handsome, young-to-middle-aged Russians. I think they are mostly in-between somewhere. Blondes like Putin are pretty rare, but a lot share the same face shape.

Heh, that's really hard to say.... There is a lot of blood mixture over there.... I think you will find both types. But real Russians ( I mean pure-blooded) have fair hair and blue/green/grey eyes.. Body type is the same as in European countries ( again I mean one could be Hercules, the other Mr. Bean) Smile

Ok I didnt even know who Vladimir Mashkov was, so I googled him and in my opinion the guy is nothing to look at. If there was a contest between both Mashkov and Putin, id have to go with Putin (and hes old) Laughing

I've always used my own picture as my avatar. I have nothing to hide. I don't know what the big deal is.Come on guys, let's see YOUR faces. I'm pretty sure vitalsigns isn't really yellow (no pun intended) and I'm pretty sure the Goddess of Fire doesn't look like a demon possessed cupie doll either.

Think whatever you want, I have no intention to post a picture of myself on a public forum, never have in the past, and never will. Besides which, I dont even have a picture of myself online anymore, and I am not going to go out of my way to scan one so everyone can compare it to my cupie doll, because me and her look nothing alike Not talking

All I have to say is a general word of warning to everyone to be very careful about what personal information you post about yourself on the WWW. You never know who's surfing which websites or why. Neutral
