Americans Marry Russian Women. What For?

American men use Russian women for self-affirmation. The latter seem to be liking this fact

Marriages between Russian women and American men are very successful and harmonious, Olga Makhovskaya, the senior research assistant at the Psychology Institute in Russia's Academy of Sciences says. When an American man switches from the model of American family where husband and wife are partners equal in rights to the model of an Orthodox family, he thus raises his own significance. In Orthodox families men are given more authority and are more respected. It is certainly an advantage for a man and raises his social and psychological status. In a word, American men seem to have tired of the feminism propagated by American women, and it is frequent that they seek Russian women to start families.

Russian wives in America give up the traditional model of the Russian Orthodox family which relieves them of a heavy burden of responsibility and gives a chance to have a normal life in a family where the range of responsibilities is more definite for them: children, family affairs and housekeeping. At that, Russian women enjoy more attention and support from husbands.

As psychologists say, now Russian men undervalue the essence of family. The whole of the burden, housekeeping, upbringing of children, earning of money are shifted onto women. And, at the time when Russian women have so much responsibilities, their husbands spend their time dozing in front of TV sets in desperate attempts to find out the meaning of life and to understand the truth of the universe. They merely disregard everyday problems that are essential for their families as they consider the above mentioned idle thinking to be of higher importance.

That is why, as Olga Makhovskaya thinks relations in families between Russian and American partners are more harmonious. Each party gets what it wants to have. Husbands get authority and status, and wives are given, in exchange, peace in family and well-being. "Families of this kind where husbands are Americans and women are Russians prove to be long-living, as the roles in the family are clearly distributed and the mechanism operates good, although these are mixed families. In such families each of the couple is ready to make concessions and on the whole, wonderfully performs the role."

In addition, as researches held by Olga Makhovskaya reveal, marriages between Chinese men and Russian women are also very successful. ?There are tens of thousands of such marriages in Russia's Primorye region in the Far East. Chinese men are hard-working, they don't abuse in alcohol drinking and bring their wages home. In a word, they have lots of advantages by contrast with Russian men." It is sad, but the researches don't mention for whom Russian men suit wonderfully.

I keep getting email from a nice Russian woman who wants to meet me.

When my Nigerian business partner comes through with the dough I'm going to send for her.

Pravda must be in the pay of the Russian brides websites. I don't know whether it's urban legends or not, but I've heard some horror stories about those blushing Russian brides.

[goldstategop]

There's something about marrying a girl who wants a ticket to a better life. Or should we be cynical that love comes down to one's bottom line?? ;-)

Buy(so to speak) American

Time for a parody on these Russian brides. DFU, can you rework the lyrics of Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen to, "Mafioso Girls"

LOL -- EX-cellent! Let us know, fer sure!

[RaceBannon]

I just met 3 new business partners from Nigeria!! You too??

[Ken H]

That email might be a hoax, or worse.

I've read on the internet about lots of guys who went to meet women and woke up the next day with surgical scars and missing kidneys!

[Twinkie]

A woman doctor who is also a friend had a husband who actually got on the net for hours every night until he
found himself a Russian "bride", deserted his wife &
children, took the doctor for everything he could wring
out of her and now lives with the Russian woman. I agree,
WHAT FOR?? The doctor is very attractive, makes great
money, but when a man gets addicted to looking at
retouched photos of "exotic" women on the prowl, he takes
what he can get out of the little wife and cuts and runs.
Or so it appears.

Nothing is dumber than a delusional,naïve man,wereas the third world woman is more predatory and devious than a snake!
I saw a documentary of a plane load of US men ,may of them lawyers,businessmen,professionals,who spent $20,000 each to travel to Moscow to meet these women.
Why ? when any islander or SA country,like Cuba,Brazil,Columbia,etc has mobs of women anxious to please!

"And, at the same time when Russian women have so much responsibilities, their husbands spend their whole time dozing in front of TV sets in desperate attempts to find out the meaning of life and to understand the truth of the universe."

Now I ask you: Where in American journalism you going to find insights like that, peoples?!

Nothing like brainwashed British and American 'Girls' that have been raised on Brit/U.S. T.V.

You forgot to include the part about a note left at the scene for them to call a doctor ( or seek medical attetntion ).

[freepy smurf]

When you're surrounded by rabid, man-hating femi-nazis Moscow starts to look very promising.

Moderator: Why did you remove comment #10? It was a wonderful, uplifting comment. What's going on here?

Maybe we could get together; I'm hoping your Nigerian business partner will be able to get me in touch with mine, who seems to have disappeared. I was supposed to get a lot of money deposited into my bank account, but something went wrong and I'm broke.

He removed it at my request, I thought I gave too many details about my friend. I'll try again.

It hasn't anything to do with 'feminism.' It has to do with the fact that Russian gals, like everyone else, are looking for decent men, and sometimes decent men are considered too nerdy to be attractive in a competitive bride market here in the States.

Let me say this about Russian women (not from personal experience, mind you, Mrs. Jones is American born; but ...)

Two of my best friends married Russian gals. The first guy took a tour of Russia and just happened to meet a woman in Moscow. In the early 90s.

We assumed the worst. Greencard huntress, predator, fleeing the revolution at any price, yadda yadda.

Turned out she's and angel. And beautiful to boot. They've been married ten years, have a new baby, and couldn't be happier.

She introduced her best friend to another of our circle. They're married too--no kids, but still together after ten years. Both women live here in the States and are now American citizens, but only one (the first one) brought a relative--her mother, who helps care for the baby.

The two guys I know are perfectly happy, as are their wives. And God bless 'em for that.

What did #10 say? Just curious so I don't make the same mistake.

Most of those men wanting a foreign bride through Internet or from foreign bars are losers who in their delusions think they are quite a hunk.
