This week, I interview Marina Khorosh, a Russian-born, American-raised Vogue writer. Marina has extensively chronicled her global dating adventures in her blog DBag Dating. I delve into her insights on dating across Russia, the U S, France, and Scandinavia, exploring the valuable lessons she's learned from her international dating experiences.
Get in touch with Marina: / marinakhorosh
Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating.
The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life.

I have a lot of experience outside the US, though I was born there. I’ve done business in 25 countries and been in another 15 more for personal reasons. I’ve been an expat for the last 8 years, now live in Ireland as an Irish citizen. I’ve dated girls from a number of different countries. One major conclusion I’ve drawn is that Western women are more emotionally developed than their peers in non-Western countries. I think the reason is that Western women are socialized to develop more fully. Even more importantly, traditional societies are not good at showing vulnerability, since that demonstrates weakness, which is shunned. And showing vulnerability is key to developing a significant emotional connection.

11:15 Actually, in Russia, there are fewer women than men in the 20 to 40 range. The overall "more women than men" comes from men's shorter life span and the vast disparity in 60+ range.

@user-mn6sq3is4t you can check the demographics. Up to the age of 40 there are more men, after 40 - slightly more women, after 60 there are much fewer men, and after 80 it's almost women only. As Russia has an aged society (average age is about 44), there are *significantly* more women than men *overall* .

@user-mn6sq3is4t well, dating is currently difficult in Russia. The vast majority hate the dictator Putin and strictly oppose Russia's invasion in Ukraine, but they will not admit it to a stranger or in a public place because they fear persecution. However, if they think that you might be a Putin's supporter, they will avoid dating you. And if you are against Putin, it may be difficult to convey it safely. If you choose to support Putin, your potential dating pool is much smaller, especially as a person of non-Russian ethnicity (many of Putin's supporters are nationalists). I wouldn't go to Russia at least until the crash of Putin's regime.

Ah ... what's to be done. People try to tell them, try to have their best interests in mind, and they can't imagine how someone could say such a thing. Then, when they haven't taken the advice, and exactly what they were warned would happen happens, they can't understand what the problem is. We ALL, men and women, have a sell by date. I'm a man, and in my sixties, unmarried, no kids, and I live alone. If I have a heart attack at home, or even just slip and fall in the bathtub, I"ll lay there until they bust in and find what's left of me. We're all on the clock, and the clock is ticking. It's not a plot or a conspiracy, or sexism. It's life and death. Here we have an attractive, intelligent writer. Don't tell me she couldn't find a husband if it was a priority to her. It's not. She's like me. And she still won't listen. Sad. My time has passed. She still actually has a chance, if she'd give up the trivial for the important.

It made me sad when she called the person she's in a relationship with her "partner".

"My time has passed"?? I suggest you watch a few videos about expats in the Philippines (and other places). I'm 71, and I know MY time hasn't passed!

Russians match very well with americans. Pretty much the same dating culture. And Russians match very badly with Scandinavians. In general.

@stormmaster108 Ай бұрын

Yes, I agree. "In general" is the important part, though. I somehow developed scandinavian culture all on my own. Back then, I just thought I was weird. Many years later, after I determined the most beautiful language for me (Swedish), I started to learn about Swedish culture - and it happened to be just exactly how I was. From being quiet and appreciating Lagom to perception of relationships and dating culture. I have even always kept friends' groups separate, starting from early childhood.

Oh yeah the scandinavians I can see being an issue for Eastern European Guys period lol

Is she expecting sympathy talking about the hipster French bf? He used her. He treated her badly. She used him as well. And she also selected to be with him 🤔 But that isnt spoken until the end after she built up this huge backstory about him. Okay.
