Российских женщин (Russian women)

Today I read that Russian women are completely different from Western or American women. 

This is due to the environment they live in, what they see from a young age, and what they are taught by their families. They have a completely different set of values and things that are important to them. What they value and hold high in importance, they will most likely never compromise. Here are some ways in which Russian women differ from most women.They don't care about age. As explained above, Russian women would much rather be with a well established and kind older man than a young man who is quick to get angry or lose his temper and who is not financially secure. Age is simply not as important as the quality of the relationship.

I think this is too much a simplification. And really sounds a bit stupid to me, even if it can be true in some cases.

And what about the image above?

Anyway, according to the latest data, in Russia there are only 88 males for 100 females (87 in Ukraine, 88 in Belarus, 92 in Kazakhstan, 92 in Moldova) - Pocket World in Figures: 2004 edition, The Economist, 2003.

So, less men. Still, russian women say that there are some very good ones. The problem is Russian family model. Sexism is a natural part of it, writes Elena Petrova - the creator of Russian Brides Cyber Guide.

In capitals (Moscow and St. Petersburg) the situation is better, they are more westernized, but in regions it's still very chauvinistic. If you are a single woman, you're worth nothing. Any man can offend you. You must have a strong boyfriend (or lover - even if he is married) to protect you. So a woman is not considered as somebody respectable unless she is married, and even then, she will be considered in regard at to who is her husband. A widow / ex-wife of a person with high social status (who can be a high-level criminal as well) is still considered according to his social status and gains respect according to it. Even being married to a guy who has many lovers a woman gains higher respect that if she were single.

If it was not clear: 

This leads to the situation when single men have a choice of available women, and worthy men quickly get spoilt. You probably will not believe me but in Russia it's women that are cherishing men, and not the other way around.

She thinks that society considers women looking for a husband abroad as looking for a better life and money - "selling themselves for money"; in some extent it can be viewed like this, but mostly Russian women's search abroad is the result of absence of suitable men in Russia.

So lets think twice next time.
