How To Date Russian Women If You're A Foreigner

We may be high maintenance... but we're worth it ;) If you've ever been curious about what it takes to get a date from a beautiful Russian woman, this video is for you. I have a Russian/Ukrainian heritage and spent a lot of last year traveling all across Russia where I asked many different women about what they were looking for in a partner, what qualities matter and which ones don't. It may seem intimidating being a foreigner and not knowing a word of Russian (you should probably work on that), but I hope this video will give you guys an idea of how to meet someone and also understand the basics of expectations when it comes to Russian dating culture.

[@stuartbritton7408]

You wasted you money on those roses. They just leave them where you gave them and don't take them. That's my experience, anyway. It's an insult to your dignity. I've heard that women from Eastern Asia are much more ladylike and respectful to men. Pity I don't like their shape or faces as much as Eastern Europeans. What you really need is a woman with the attitude and values of Eastern Asian woman and the looks of a Russian. British women hate men's guts and they are fat, fake and full of themselves. They dress sloppily and show the bulges of fat oozing through their black leggings. Not a pretty sight, I can tell you.

Now we’ve got two children, two good properties, three cats, lots of memberships (my favourite with Royal Opera House) and we’ve managed to put our children through private schools (although CLSG was a bit PAINFUL:)) So if you want to achieve anything in life a Russian wife would be a good driving force.

You're so awesome Alina. Been with my crazy Russian for 5 years now and I totally agree. They are special, loving, BEAUTIFUL and caring women. BUT .... Omg they are strong minded. I have said Happy Wife, Happy Life.. This is X10 for a Russian woman. Times ten for the ones that didn't get it. If you didn't get that, a Russian woman is NOT FOR YOU. They are very educated and proud. The reward is tremendous but the work is everyday. Remember !!!! They are Russian, or Ukrainian.. Not American . They are raised with tremendous family values. Most in a former Soviet era of discipline. So don't expect to get an American woman in a year. Research the calendar. International Women's Day is a HUGE HOLIDAY!! If you don't bear a nice gift and flowers, it wont last past the first holiday. Always an odd number of flowers. NEVER EVEN. Eleven is a common number.

[@davewarrillow7415]

I have a daughter in Ukraine, so I travel across to Ukraine on a regular basis (pre lock down as it were.) It is an amazing place, when I travel there I travel alone and where possible I drive my car car across from England, although my ex and I have split and are getting divorced, I still have fond memories. The women are so stunning but also not daft. I have been scammed as well as married to a Ukrainian (not the same one) it Has not put me off going. But before you go, please research where you are going especially if you are going to do a road trip. Ensure you have all the correct documents with you when you drive anywhere, be aware in Ukraine they have police checkpoints in random places where you have to slow down to about 25km ph at these they will stop people randomly. I was breathalysed by a cop in a small village near Kharkov, the only reason he stopped me was because we were in an English Land Rover, and although now I have a Ford Focus I still tend to stick out as my steering wheel is on the opposite side of the car lol. Even now after travelling there for over 9 years I still have a giggle when I speak in English to some one and a passer by stares goggle eyed at the foreigner. This won't happen in the big cities but I have a tendency to leave the beaten track so I can see the real side to the country. Also try if some how possible to learn at least a basic knowledge in Russian. It will help you no end. The locals seem to appreciate it more too.

However, still hopeful of a roadtrip to Norway and Sweden a little later in the year. I'm not too worried about being scammed as i really have no interest in dating, prefer being on my own really.

I am married to an amazing Russian woman from N. Novgorod (will be moving there soon). All that advice you gave is spot on. She is traditional in some ways and very open in others. I found the key to success with Russian women is to be confident (being emotionally strong is very important) and open be to learn alot. I had the benefit of coming from a Slavic family ( Russian and Polish) so most of Alina's advice was obvious.

[@kevinfelix2543]

was in Russia a few years, loved the trip, the culture, especially experiencing ballet at the Bolshoi theatre if you go to remote city in the far east where English speakers aren't as common, you will become famous because the locals want to meet new people but also improve there own English. i remember a young couple running a coffee van in Krasnoyarsk and they were so interested they invited me to sit in their van and have coffee and macaroons and chat... word of wisdom though, Russia is quite traditional when it comes to dating, marriage ec. the feminism movement really doesn't super exist there, although ive met a number of a super independent woman who don't believe in such old ways and think differently so it just depends who you meet

Especially in a city like here in Toronto - dating in the pre-corona world was incredibly tough. Most of the women in Toronto don't appreciate men coming up to them and trying to start a conversation. I moved here 6 years ago and I can say it hand in heart. Thanks to Covid ,the masks and social distancing - Dating now is further complicated more than ever. I wouldn't recommend moving to Toronto if you would like a decent dating life.

[@mister2187]

It's the same in Vienna in Austria. Even when you give a woman a slight, sincere and kind smile they already look at you if you are a perverted sex offender. The reason for that is is because of this NEW feminism that is much more about hatred towards men instead of real equality. They mostly see men as an obstacle, an enemy or something like this.

Great video, Alina! I wish I had that information at the start of my experiences with meeting and using dating sites for Ukrainian women. I can guarantee you now, every point that is talked about in this video is the real way to make close friends there. You mentioned "high maintenance" and that is very true, and a lot of points are very important in other areas of this post. I now have one special person that we are spending as much time as possible in talks and sharing away from the dating site we met on, and that I believe to be very important in any new friendship and future relationship. It becomes very close and always keeps us aiming for the right thing. I had planned to visit Ukraine this summer, but in light of what is going on in America and the world, it is one day at a time now and that is probably the hardest for us right now. But, the dreams and goals continue to be stronger, so all your thoughts in this video I will back you up because they are all true. Thank you so much for doing this one for us, and you guys that are trying your best to do that, take these points as the real deal, you can't miss when you apply them.

[@glicmathan1771]

Excellent advice I know all too well from personal experience. I would also add to beware of materialistic types, as their expectations of the man-as-provider can be totally unrealistic and superficial. Also, from the previous video, your point was spot on about the blunt opinions of friends and family. If your Russian partner isn’t strong willed with good self-esteem/confidence, the opinions of others could poison the well between you. Be on the lookout for envious Russian friends and family and their attempts to sabotage your relationship in this regard. I do miss the nurturing qualities you mention and would definitely date a Russian again. The highs were particularly high. Also to mention is that the Russian family is particularly tight. Taking a Russian woman away from her family can create emotional problems you won’t have if you remain near her family. Westerners tend to be more independent of their families. The woman you get to know in her own country is a byproduct of her life and family there. Her identity, values and expectations may change once she relocates to another country and culture. Believe me, I know! Thanks Alina!

Great video! Russian women are similar to women in my culture - speaking for myself I began to cook seriously at 11 years old. My mother is very nurturing and I seem to have acquired this trait. All the women in my family know how to cook and keep a home. Dresses were worn more than pants but I began to wear pants more since I have been living in Canada. I had a Russian classmate in my first semester of college and her parents were immigrants. She was feminine and spoke English without an accent but spoke perfect Russian too. The men are providers in my country of Zambia and women go 50/50 if they choose to. However, they are not romantic for the most part.

My preference would be to live in Russia long term. i noticed that Russians are not that big on English and i do not speak Russian which i find very frustrating as getting to know someone means being able to communicate with them at a fairly deep level. i also am not the clubbing or bar hopping type. i might plan another trip soon.

I liked this video. I lived in Ukraine for 7 years and made several trips there at other times. Much of what you said is equally true of Ukrainian women. I am now engaged to a Russian girl. She was born in Samar but her family moved to Ukraine when she was a little girl. She speaks Russian and Ukrainian equally well but prefers Russian. Her family is very Russian and still, to a certain extent. yearns for Russia. Anyway, it took a while for me to understand the cultural differences between Ukrainian/Russian women and Western women. I found out very quickly that Russian women can be very difficult at times. At first I had no idea how to handle this. To say I was confused is an understatement. I learned and am comfortable dealing with most situations. Great video!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Haha glad you got onto it!

[@kevinharries9513]

I married a Ukrainian but could not survive the demands. Still I see promise even with cultural indifference but must find a better personality match.

[@kokomo9764]

@Kevin Harris. Sorry it didn't work out. Marring someone from a different culture is difficult. While I don't like giving advice I will say that you must spend as much time together as possible before you commit. Not a couple of weeks like I see many men on the internet do. No marriage will survive without months and even years together before marriage. I understand that is almost impossible for men to do if they work. Good luck!

@@kokomo9764 we dated internationally for 2 years on vacations to countries that she allowed Ukranians. In 18 months we waited for Visa Approval to Australia. We get 9 months on a fiance visa to decide on marriage, I pity US guys only having 90 day Fiance visa. I simply thought we needed more time to resolve our indifference so we married but the visa process took control for a final decision. You need to live with someone "day in day out" to see compatibility. I ignored too many red flags in our courtship to begin with then the russian stubbornness and rudeness was the final straw. A strong marriage needs love , tenderness , devotion and persistence , not demands and daily negotiation. I know what a good relationship looks like and this was not.

Had a long distance relationship with a Moscow girl for over a year - I went to Moscow twice to spend time together but the long distance and a few other things got in the way. We met in person in Moscow in December 2018. How did it happen? I didn't go to meet girls I went because I have always been fascinated by Russia's history and it's culture. Meeting my ex was just a bonus. All of Alina's tips are spot on. And yes the women, especially the more beautiful ones are strong willed:) If you would like to socialise with Russian women I have more tips: - Dress well. Spend a little more on nice shoes and polish them (women notice these details). Don't need to buy stupidly expensive clothes. Just decent quality and fit. NO LABELS on the clothes. H&M, Zara etc all have decent quality clothes at reasonable prices. - Be confident - like Alina says but not in an arrogant caricature of a douchebag. - You don't need to look like Brad Pitt to socialise with beautiful ladies but it doesn't hurt to get in shape. Russian women and women in general don't go for bodybuilder type guys. So get in shape. - If you aren't used to dating feminine women - it can be a little overwhelming - just be cool and don't make a big deal out of it. - Be genuinely interested in them and there culture. Read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chekhov and books on Russian history. If you meet a group of girls try to get to know each of them equally but make it clear who you would like to get to know better. Aviod cliched questions and comments about Russians or commenting on politics. - Have fun. It's an amazing country with an interesting, but traumatic past. - Eye contact. My secret weapon - but there is a balance to it. - More chivalry than dating Western women - open the door for her, get the car door for her. - Equanimity. Women sometimes lose there minds. As a man it is your job to stay calm and wait for the storm to subside - which it will. - Learn how to pronounce basic Russian words and Cryllic - should take you about 20 minutes, some of the letters are the same as in English. This goes a long way! When it comes to internet dating or 'romance tours' don't do it! Massive scam alert. Many good men have been worked over by unscrupulous people. There are occasional success stories but I just would advise against it.

[@oscar7032]

Hey bro I liked the tips. Where did you meet this Russian girl? Online? I'm talking to one now and she wants to come to the states. You think she's legit? She hasn't ask me for money or something like that.

[@IGATECK]

As a Mexican it's perfectly normal for me to pay on our dates or at least the first dates, to open doors for her, to pick and drop her off, to give her my jacket if it's cold, and once we start a relationship, it's normal for me to fix her car, fix her house or help her parents with any issues that are within my skills, that's my culture, I guess I would be happy with a Russian girl 🤔

I would date Russian women again if the opportunity comes to me. Russian women are beautiful and I had an overall good experience dating and was engaged to her a long time ago before her and I went our separate ways. Great video Alina! ❤

I have been speaking with a Russian woman for the past few days and have enjoyed it very much. We plan to meet in a couple of weeks after getting to know each other more, and also when she has vacation time to give us significant time to spend together. I’ve always valued respecting a woman, being there for them and also the family, and learning all I can from her.

Love the Soviet shapka, bring it with you to Europe next time! ;) Pretty strong video on dating Russian women, especially the end ... Russian women certainly don't prioritize a 6-pack or 'pretty boys' in general :D

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thanks! Yes, what's 'attractive' in Russia is quite different from Canada/USA!

[@geoffoakland]

@@AlinaMcleod well, like a lot of women they do seem to prefer tall guys. Having said that, would it help to attract them, in general,, if you are not super tall, say 5' 8'', (172cm), but have a muscular physique, like a gymnast or boxer?

[@user-xo5zt3ig6h]

@@geoffoakland it's true that Russian women prefer tall guys. But personality is the priority way above looks for them. So if you are a really good person that treat them right, you would be popular with them. Sense of humor is a big plus too.

I recently started dating a Russian woman. This experience is wonderful Im 60 widowed and she is 50 divorced ( from Russia ) She’s a dr ,successful great job and life we met while we walked our dogs as neighbors over the years and became friendly as time passed my wife passed and she was divorced one day I asked her to dinner she accepted I am an old school gentleman ( raised by a mom and three sisters ) I do know how to treat a woman but Russian women are so much different than American women , don’t get me wrong American women are great but there’s nothing like a Russian woman ! Maybe it’s just me but Irina The sweetest most beautiful Person ! Her traits traditions and culture are just worlds apart From American women Totally head over heels for this woman ❤

[@jayandrews4771]

In the USA you can’t exchange information with a girl on a dating site without answering questions about your criminal background and then that information has to be shared with the girl and she has to approve. IMBRA International Marriage Brokerage Act. So, If a dating site doesn’t let you exchange information easily it’s because it’s illegal to share that information without a background check.

Found your videos by accident.. My grandfather immigrated from the Ukraine about the time of the revolution. He worked and saved his money so he could send for this wife and daughter. What started as a couple now has about 200 descendants. Like my cousin said, "It's amazing what two good Catholics can do ". Thank you for being a tour guide so I can learn more about the country and its people.

[@melvinmayfield470]

Very Much Appreciate, your sage counsel. I have had the privilege of enjoying the company of a few Russian/Ukrainian/Slavic-women, and the time with them, I consider very-well-spent! Your comments are 'spot-on', and match with my experiences! They were (to my everlasting JOY!) enamored of me (by their kind words, not mine), and the only reason, we did not further our relationship(s), was my very young age at the time (I speak here, of 35+ years ago, as I am now 64). I have briefly spent time with a few since, and those occasions, coupled with your words here, and, my prior doings, assure me, that (wonderfully!), nothing has diminished their appeal to/for me! Many Thanks to You! I am new to your channel, having learned of it, via your: "Dating Beyond Borders" episode, on that channel. I will be at the point, of spending time with the 'types' of women, that I favour, in a few years, when my means are where I want them to be(so far, so good!). At that time, I will begin 'dating' once more. (I am putting my children-1 each- thru college now, and, when that 'life', is done, I will pursue a 'new'-one.) According to my physicians, I will be capable, of beginning a 'new'-life with FAMILY, as I have never been one, to drink 'hard'-liquor, nor, smoke anything! At that time, I will seek to contact you (if you're still doing things like this), and treat you, to your choice of meal, etc,... And, who knows what else, in the (to my mind), VERY-unlikely occurrence, that you are then 'available'. In any event, Well-Done! And again, Thank You. BTW: Love the hat on you!
