I was in the water!

Russian men do have a short life expectancy. One I met who was 39 already considered himself old.
I’m sure it depends on the individual.
The only Russian men I have ever gotten to know at more than a very superficial level were drivers/interpreters who worked for the [Christian] church-based international adoption agency which handled the adoption of my son. They were good, honest, hard-working men, and they seemed to be pretty much like any other good, honest, hard-working men.
However, they did drink vodka at virtually every lunch and dinner we ate with them while my wife and I were in Russia, so even THEY seemed to fit the “drink too much” stereo-type. They did not appear to be ‘drunk’ at any time, though, and they were by no means loud or rude after drinking.
I have never had any dealings with the Russian ‘businessman’-type, but I’ve heard the same negative things about them that I am sure you have heard.
Now, THAT’S funny.
The ones that make it over here are not the worst. You should see some of the specimens in their native environment...
I’ve worked with several over the years.
It’s dangerous to generalize, but I will offer this: I think they tend to be scammers.
I imagine this comes from living under the communist system, where you had to work around everything.
IMO Russian men are biggest reason many young, beautiful, and educated Russian women seek foreign husbands, especially Brits, Americans, and Canadians.
You’re right, the commie system fostered dishonesty as a survival mechanism. And it’s still ingrained.
I know we aren’t allowed to notice, but isn’t it interesting,,, women all over the world want to marry an American man, but the foreign men never seem to want American wives.
It is because of the communist paradigm. Bambi is trying to turn us into a Marxist godless country.
That Christian Worldview he is destroying by government force, such as repeal of DADT and gay marriage and women in combat, women forced away from small children, is to turn us into a people who are selfish and nihilistic and have no one to turn to except government.
Whether you Freepers know it or not, the belief in the one, true God is what makes a person trustworthy, loyal, dependable, responsible, loving, selfless, etc. No other worldview can do it—NONE....Marxists know that and they want to master us......they can never do it if we truly believe in God.
That is why their promotion of everything destructive to family and Christianity. They destroy the conduit of culture and they destroy the culture.
Gramsci, Lukacs and Marcuse inserted cultural Marxism into curricula and media to do just that—destroy us from within. God is the only hope. No one with a worldview that is not centered on God can never be trusted. There is no absolute moral code for those people—it can always change with the flow of pop culture.
Except for muslims.

I completely agree. I view obama as a cultural muslim, but at heart an atheist. The recent Christian references he’s spouting are, IMO, mere platitudes.
Weird,,, huh? They probably have the hate-America thing in common with leftist feminazis,,
If this post has anything to do with Russian men being suitable as husbands for American women... then here is my take...
Having been single for twelve years - of the American women over age 50 that I have encountered - most want to be managing directors of my life... wanting to put me in ‘beck and call’ mode, etc.
So - from what I have heard of Russian men - I doubt that they would fit into such a role any more than I do...
Over the years, I have spoken to or exchanged email with a number of Russian women and find that they do not have a high regard for Russian men... But, I also find that American women have a similar low regard attitude for American men... So - Hmmmmm?
They’re a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma enclosed in a bottle of cheap vodka.
Best description so far.
#28 “but the foreign men never seem to want American wives.”
excellent point! ...but one group is an exception. Muslim men. Some think K1 Visas are mostly rich Americans getting arm candy Russia girls, but a large percent is Morrocans and other Muslim men, marrying American women. (And of course, Muslim men are allowed to, but Muslim women are forbidden to marry non-Muslims... as I found out the hard way, right here in NJ.)
Everything he says is for manipulation. It means nothing. He is a proven liar and has no God at the basis of his belief system.
He is an atheist at most whose hatred for Christianity and the Jewish religion knows no bounds, and only exceeds his hatred for heterosexual white men. His disdain for Winston Churchill revealed the rage inside him. He is very dangerous. Godless men always are. That is why I would be very leery of Russian men raised in the godless paradigm.
Bambi was in a Liberation Theology church for 20 years. Based on James Cone, a Marxist, there is no God in that church, much less a Christian one. Marxist-Christian is an oxymoron.
Are we really the PMS capital of the world?
Or merely the DRAMATIC PMS capital of the world?
My wife had PMS 2-3 weeks out of the month. No fun.
INDEED:

#37 “He is very dangerous. Godless men always are. “
I agree. The most important question, is not country, but Faith. However, I was in a Russian Orthodox church in Siberia, with men I respected, after watching them.
No pews. Men standing or kneeling on a hard marble floor. Men showing nothing but serious respect and devotion, to God and Jesus. ...I think Europe is much more atheist now, than Russia ever was.
