I was in the water!
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?
