What do you do if the majority of the men in your country seem so self-absorbed, feckless or dependent on the bottle that there aren't enough to go round?
Russian women believe that they have found the answer, with growing numbers flocking to "bitch schools" that purport to provide a competitive edge in a dwindling market of suitable bachelors, or provide those already in relationships with the skills to bring their men to heel.
Twice a week, women stream into the Dubrovka theatre in Moscow. Four years ago, 129 people were killed there during a botched attempt to free an audience taken hostage by Chechen extremists. Today its backstage rooms are home to a night school run by Vladimir Rakovsky, a motivational speaker, and his wife, Yevgenia, who teach "bitchology".
In Russia, where feminism is treated with suspicion and its practitioners often regarded as lesbians, being a "bitch" is not what many in the West would assume.
A successful "bitch", Mr Rakovsky explains, is neither strident nor sassy, but demure, manipulative and aware of her own sexuality in order to get her own way.
"Bitchology is the theory, practice and technique of being successful in a man's world," he said. "A smart woman gets what she wants by pretending to be weak."
"A bitch should be strong and self-confident but should remember to use feminine wiles, such as her attractiveness and, whenever useful, she should try to come across as a helpless creature."
Lessons begin with the philosophy of "bitchology". The "bitch" should win favours by acting either as a helpless baby or, in rare situations, like an adult woman.
Then its off to the "school of seduction" in which the women learn to attract the most discerning of men by flaunting their sexuality. This week, students learned how to a work a room full of men just by dropping something, and picking it up, to "accentuate the most beautiful part of your body". "If it's your breasts, flaunt them, if it's your backside use it," Mrs Rakovsky, 21, told them.
Next week, she will focus on how to surreptitiously rub one's breasts against an unsuspecting subject. In the final lesson, the women learn the art of the striptease.
The Rakovskys' students swear by the technique which, according to one, gives every Russian woman what she wants: "Great sex, money and a man who looks after you."
Natalya, 33, said: "If I play the role of a baby, my man begins to take care of me. He behaves like he has to protect me."
While Russia's attitude to gender equality may seem baffling to many westerners, sociologists say it has to be understood in the context of its history.
In Soviet times, when sexism officially did not exist, women ploughed fields and work in factories. Today, many young women would prefer to shop or dine out. If their men can fund such a lifestyle, equality appears to be a sacrifice worth making.
The old stereotype of Russian women looking like a bunch of Debbie Stabenows just isn't true.
Today's Russian women are truly stunning. Check out some pics in foreign personal ads.
It's not manipulation of the man knows! Then it's just obvious.
In the U.S. and A. it seems like guys can't say "no" to women. Many of my friends and relatives seem to do EVERYTHING their wives want and never say no. It does't matter how ridiculous the request, they just acquiese anyway.
Its no wonder the Russians cant never get anywhere..their spelling is even backwards.
Many American women don't need "bitch" lessons. They do quite well on their own.
On the other hand, lessons for women on being sweet, kind and loving would do wonders for their relationships....
Just my 2 cents.

The Mans Prayer
I'm a man,
But I can change,
If I have to,
I guess.
Using one's sexuality for money = prostitution.
That's an understatement.
Shame if they all become super b*tches.
Of course, a few years here would probably accomplish much the same thing.
"On the other hand, lessons for women on being sweet, kind and loving would do wonders for their relationships.... "
Bingo!
The feminist movement, along with the general trend of "it's all about me" has actually moved many American women further away from achieving what we all really desire in a relationship.
I am a very lucky guy. My wife is all of the things you mentioned, and I would do anything for her.
Don't ask about my ex!
Maybe this explains the spam I have been receiving lately--it's either a homework assignment from this school, or the desparate plea of women who realize that Russian men are hopeless, bitch school or no:
Hello!
I am Elena and i am here to know you better and start a relations with you. I can say about myself that I am easy-going and curious May be it is normal to my age but I feel myself crazy sometimes I want to see and to know so much I am kind, attentive, open minded and passion. I know what I want from this life and I feel that I am ready for the serious relationships; I am searching for the right person - for my husband and father for our children.
I have some questions for you if you want to get to know me closer:
1/ Are you interested in serious relations with Russian woman?
2/ Are you planning to visit Russia?
3/ Would you like to correspond or to talk by phone?
4/ Why are you interested in Russian lady?
5/ Have you ever been to Russia?
6/ What is important for you in relations and am I right for you?
I will be waiting for your reply to
admin@1BRIDE4UONLINE.INFO
And what about you?
I have it on good authority that Nancy Palozi signed up for the entire session.
This thread really needs you.

It's easier than fighting. A disgruntled American woman only has to make an accusation of mistreatment to ruin a man. The authorities will then drag you off and rob you of everything you've worked for and place you in peonage for the rest of your life if they don't just throw you in jail.
Yes, many have post-graduate degrees in bitchiness.
American women have the most money, power, choices and freedom of any women in the world and, yet...they are often the most unhappy.
The lessons entailed worked for me. I've been married to my Mississippi girl for 14 years. She didn't have to get no schooling to apply those lessons to me.
lol, how come I never run into these women if there's usch a 'bachleor shortage'. :)
If you have to catch 'em, who wants 'em.
Mutual attraction's the only acceptable source.
Mine too, along with numerous great aunts, etc.
Isn't it strange that even the naturally coming skills need to be formally taught?
What? Being manipulative by appearing to be weak and needy is "natural"? Not where I come from!
Uhh...'cause they're in Russia?
