Mentality of Russian woman is a direct opposite to the mentality of the western women. Russian women know that they are gorgeous, they do everything they can to remain gorgeous even after many years in marriage and they remain gorgeous for their husbands.

Russian women eagerly accept “second role” in the family. In spite of the fact that the majority of them has higher education and is very smart – they are not ambitious and can take any work, which pays off. While western women want to make a career and are eager to receive a small wage at first, but to have a chance to raise on a career ladder - Russian women do not care about the career as long as they have a decent income.

Another important thing a foreigner must know about a Russian woman – she likes to hear compliments. Despite the fact that Russian women are the most gorgeous in the world, they always need to hear compliments to boost their low self-esteem. She may say that she is not that pretty or just say “thank you”. Make no mistake – they like compliments and they need them like air.

But if you are the unknown person – don’t expect any smile or help. Russian people and women in particular are very hostile to strangers. They will not help a stranger outside, won’t let a stranger in the house and may not even stop to tell time. They will simply ignore him or will give him a hostile look.

Russian women like to cook. They hate fast food and will be genuinely offended if you ask them to go grab the fast food instead of cooking something. Their dishes are delicious and they don’t spend much on food in order to make it really tasty. Russian food contains a lot of meat and potato, nevertheless their food is not fat and is very tasty.

All foreigners who are planning on marrying Russian woman have heard of the notion “Russian soul”. This notion frequently means generous and irrational behaviour. For example, Russian woman can go to the store and buy something she likes for you or for herself without waiting for a discount or sale. Many foreigners don’t like such behaviour – but you should remember that it is not frequent and Russian people usually allow themselves to buy something they like as a reward for a month of hard work, or simply to surprise the people they love.

If you don’t approve it – just don’t say anything, otherwise Russian wife will think that you are greedy and can’t allow her to buy a thing she likes in a month or two. Make no mistake - Russian wives are very thrifty and such phenomenon as “Generous soul” goes away with the time, as soon as your Russian wife assimilates and adopts the principles of life, accepted in your society.
