Why dating Russian women?
I have wondered more than once the reason of the existence of a thread called "dating Russian women", since there are not equivalent threads, at least among those I read, european ones.
After being on my famous cruise, I must admit Russia is a world apart. In Moscow and St Pete probably they are more westernwise, many girls speak english or anyway try to help you how they can with directions and easy-to-understand-and-to-solve problems, but out of there they still seem robots, programmed to do something, icy cold, blocked, dormant, frozen, unresponsive, dumb asleep, but still robots, to what I'd define a high level in the scale, while in other ex communist countries they are waking up or already did.
For instance, none of them onboard not only didn't think about asking or getting tips, but didn't even "suggest", I mean doing a service to you and staying there a few seconds to see if you tip. Once I asked for a second ice cream, the waitress went into the kitchen to ask, came back in one minute to say the request had been accepted and recame back seconds later with my ice cream: couldn't she spare one journey?
Ok, now I'll come to what actually "annoyed" me a little: I was a lonely young (youngest after me wasn't less than 60 years old, could pratically be my father) looking westerner, therefore implicitly rich, also passenger of a river cruise, so even richer (actually I'm on the poor side, but they couldn't know, LOL!). How is it possible none of them even slightly thought about trying to "socialize" by her own will with me, or accepting my innocent approaches, not necessarily meant to end up having sex, whether for fun, for a new experience, for a better future or for rounding up their little income? More than once I tried to hook up, especially when they were not on duty, but they were really escaping! Even unfair to a passenger of your ship! The very most of them couldn't speak english, but international language of smiles, likings, to joke let's add love (and being professional mongers let's add banknotes too) , should suffice. Don't be misled by thinking the girls were there to work: even on ferryboats travelling less than 24 hours, passengers and personnel interact, even ending up in a bed, and without the possible incentive of money! Or I can tell you that back in 1995, when a few cuban dancers were allowed to work onboard a western cruise ship, the lines out of their cabins were so long that very soon they were disembarked for perturbating and distracting! And with was a fortune for them in their pockets!
In Yaroslav the tour guide was fucking beautiful (and fucking icy). She informed a staring-at-her-and-not-at-the-church crowd (which was formed by open-mouthed elderly women as well) that she was single. We astonishedly learnt that unfortunately in that city, in the past capital of Russia for a short while, so probably not too "uncivilized" to a westerner, there are more than 2 girls per man. 600 000 inhabitants= more than 200 000 females alone, cut out old ladies and children you still get a fair number, maybe Borderland will travel there, if he hasn't yet.
YummyPL, you are still young, and wealthy, why the hell you want to sponsor a girl? With 1000$ a month you can be a king in many places, including inner Russia! 99% of men wouldn't lay without buying gifts, taking to restaurants and for shopping, etc, we all "sponsor" our girlfriends or wives, but they "earn their wage" by staying with us, even if mostly that can be a bloody annoyment to us, why should you support one away from you which will do whatever she wants, at your shoulders and at your expenses, without "working" for it? P4P makes sense, sponsoring does not! Go to Yaroslav instead! Anyway, that's just my opinion and I respect other ones.
Back to the tour guide, somebody tried twice to positively and nicely joke about her "loneliness" (which she said was due to competition), meaning to highlight her beauty (think of the other 200 000, what will they look like?) , she didn't get the point and at the third one she "made understand" she wasn't having fun! Somebody thought she could be alone because of her character, I joked that if I was such an alien beautiful 30 years old chick I too would be very upset to find myself without a man, but I thought to myself that I'd "find a way". Anyway the very most of girls I came across up there seemed to lack any sense of humour, any responsiveness, any smartness, just robots, whether programmed for setting a table, taking you a drink or telling you about a church, still empty robots.
In conclusion, I think we all agree that a less beautiful girl, wherever she's from, must compensate the gap by having other qualities to attract a man, like being funny, available and open, for instance, while a beautiful one doesn't need to produce any effort, being naturally chased by men. I think I wouldn't even appreciate to spend time other than for sex with what seemed to me to be the typical Russian girl, and this out of the language barrier. Beauty is not the most important quality, especially if you go beyond simple P4P, I reckon most of these Russian absolute stunners are just cold fishes, empty shells to shag and drop.
Just my opinion.
