    Russian Girls Thinking About American Men

    By Lera Cupidonova

    American men have always had a special eye for Russian girls. With their exotic accents, thick dark hair, big rep lips, and caring personalities, it's not a surprise that many men look to them for a woman to settle down with.

    Unfortunately, many men get taken off guard by stereotypes that Russian woman have, and don't know how to respond when certain questions are asked. This article will tell you about some of those common misconceptions, allowing you to be more prepared when you have your introduction. Remember that these are general stereotypes, not guaranteed beliefs.

    First, Russian girls believe that all American man have lots of money. They see music videos depicting lavish parties, movies set in Beverly Hills, and celebrities in magazines. Based on these images, everyone in America is Donald Trump. Even simple images, like a typical suburban residential neighborhood, will look fancy compared to what she may be used to.

    This is okay. Money is not the reason most of these women want to meet you, despite some stereotypes that you may associate with them. Tell her the truth if you do not fit this wealthy image and it will be fine. Share your hobbies with her, laugh together, and make her feel safe. With these simple actions money will never be an issue.

    If American men are portrayed in the media as being very wealthy, they are also portrayed as being big travelers, jetting off here and there for business or vacation. Russian women will think you have been everywhere, and know everything. This might be because of comparisons to Europeans, who can hop on a train and be across a national border in minutes. In reality, only thirty percent of Americans have a passport. Educate your lady friend about the diverse landscapes in America and the massive size. Both of these things make traveling difficult, and potentially unnecessary.

    The last thing Russian women will expect is that your family is just as big as hers, and just as close. Many of them were raised in a large household, likely sharing a room with a sibling or relative their whole lives. She will be used to a culture that embraces a tight family life, never sending older members of the family to a home or nursing facility. Be ready to talk about your family in great deal, as she will be excited to tell you about hers.

    One gentlemen, who possibly relates to the wealthy stereotype, even relocated his bride's family to America in order to make his Russian girl as happy as possible. This is not expected, and keep in mind that her priority will always be you, and being with you. She will want to talk about her family, but marrying a Russian girl does not have to mean you are marrying her family.

    These are a few of the stereotypes that American men will face upon meeting Russian girls. The best way to face them is by being honest. Always remember that just because someone is expecting something doesn't mean that they actively want that thing. In every culture there will be different people with different ideals. If you are open, you will find a match.
