| People overseas frequently ask the question why Russian females hunt for soul mates far from home.First and foremost, the current demographic situation in Russia is very urgent. Females greatly outnumber men, in particular women over 30. Thus, it is almost improbable for a 30-year-old to meet a potential spouse in the mother country. If a woman has children, she is also unlikely to put on a wedding dress. Second, there are a large number of alcohol addicts among Russian men. Drunkenness does not only destroy men's health but also their families. Third, due to the altering economic situation in the country most Russian women are employed, normally on a full-time basis, to supplement their husbands' income or very often to earn a living to support the physical needs of their families as the only breadwinner. Nevertheless, after a tiring workday they have a lot of duties to perform at home, such as to take care of children and spouse and keep house. Infrequent are cases when Russian men are able to earn enough, so that their wives may stay at home. Russian men normally spend time with friends, chase after other women, drink and do not help about the house.Those who lack confidence, put up with the terrible behaviour of their husbands, others sue for divorce.Thus, desperate Russian ladies leave the motherland in search of stable, secure life overseas. Educated girls speaking a foreign language, preferably English, find it easier to establish relationships with foreigners, because they overcome ethnic and language barriers and get used to a new life style quicker. Their ability to combine a career with household duties makes them ideal life partners for foreign men.Many Russian females assume that foreign men make better life partners, as they are more liberated, family-oriented than Russian men, and will help with the household chores. They believe that they will create a stable financially secure union with foreign men. A significant number of Russian women also think that overseas they will have more opportunities for self-realization and can guarantee a better childhood for their kids than in the homeland.There are countless examples of happy marriages with Russian girls. If the relationships in the union are founded on mutual trust, respect, understanding and affection, cultural differences will not be a hindrance to create a stable happy family. |
