FULL TITLE: 'Slovenly, dirty, and when they're not being rude they're biting their nails': Russian girls launch attack on British men...

Unimpressed: Russian student Anna Shlyakhtenko who is studying English in London finds the manners of British men 'disappointing'

Russian women working in the UK have launched a scathing attack on British men – branding them filthy and ill-mannered.

They have fired up internet forums and blogs with a series of posts about the shortcomings of the British male – and they hold nothing back.

A post by Tatiana, who appears to work for a top London law firm, posted on ‘lavinia_lond’, a fellow expat’s journal: ‘My male colleagues matter-of-factly scratch their private parts in the presence of females. In meetings, they are biting their nails.

‘One director sneezes loudly, without a thought of covering his mouth or apologising. And my boss, a noted barrister, stretches himself out in his chair, as if he is on a bed. He yawns, sometimes scratching his crotch.

‘He once dug something out of his tummy button through the front of his shirt, then flicked the offending object away with his fingers.

‘He eats lunch at his desk, not washing his hands, just licking his fingers. It is rudeness, which should not be acceptable among well-raised people.’

A forum entitled ‘Why are English people such slovenly and dirty creatures?’ on www.dom-uk.org has attracted 280 posts.

Russian Ekaterina moaned: ‘Oh yes, English people are dirty creatures, this is true.’ Another, called Betsy, wrote: ‘English people are real pigs.

I was in Russia in the 90s. One Friday night, I was in the subway station and saw all the young people dressed up to go out on dates. The young ladies looked like classic young Ladies, with dresses and heels, and tasteful makeup and hair. I can see why women like that would be disgusted by vulgar men.

Why the British men wouldn’t want to put their best foot forward in the presence of a classy woman is beyond me. Maybe they truly are blind to how they come across.

you all make good points.
and yes, they are amazingly fashion conscious.
as for the “meme”, certainly not all of any country is the same.
how can America produce both the daughter of McCain and the daughter of Cheney?
many Russian women are westernized and feminized. especially from big cities. also, consider the subset, that these are women who have enough money to travel and study abroad. (again, these are the progressive types).
...but the average shop worker in Russia, i find amazingly polite, friendly, well-dressed, etc. and they do realize that men and women are DIFFERENT, unlike many of our psychologists and proffessors. Most, especially devout Orthodox, do accept the man as head of the family, and wish to make him happy. (but, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t notice if he is slovenly or dirty. she simply keeps it to herself.).
Conservative religious American women, and conservative religious Russian women, are both wonderful.
and any man lucky enough to have one, should cherish her, as it says in Ephesians.

you’re a lucky man.
i hope to be by December,
if the Obama administration will give me “permission”,
to marry the woman i love.
(amazing how easy it is, for them to bring thousands of Somalis, Palestinians, etc., yet refuse Russian ladies from even getting a tourist visa.)
