I've dated two Russian women and found the same thing. Plus, there's nothing demure about Russian and Ukrainian women's personalities. I think that if an American man wants a more old-fashioned woman he is better off looking in Church, the "deep South" (or what's left of it) or perhaps South America, where they treat women like chattel.
I disagree, Former Soviet Women are extremely old fashioned and family oriented women. What they are not is subservient, or afraid to say what's on ther mind.
