They’re pussycats and you should mail-order one as soon as possible.
At their core, all Russians are drama queens. Once you understand this, everything else makes sense.
The ones I’ve known over the years tend to drink alcohol like there’s no tomorrow, and smell like they’re allergic to soap.
Aside from that, they seem OK.
Huh?
Are you dating a Russian Man or something?
I think the only thing that would matter: Does he believe in God or not. I would not accept a Jim Wallis-Oprah type god either.
The inhumanity of the atheist Russians is very disturbing.
They’re a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma enclosed in a bottle of cheap vodka.
drunks and often dishonest.
There is a reason Russian women want to be mail-order brides and it is not all economic.
Loud drunks, and rude, at least in our neighborhood. The Ukrainian Evangelical people are nice, though.
You’re getting a dose of it here, huh? If you’ve snagged a proposal from a Russian man, these posts may give you pause.
In Soviet Russia, spouse make you.
I hate to generalize, but the ones I have encountered through business have been rude, obnoxious, know-it-alls who drink too much and don’t seem to relish bathing.
They seem to have a great deal in common with Minnesota ice fishermen, except they don't fish.
A young Russian woman I knew summed them up as “mean drunks.”
Oh, I forgot, many don’t believe in birth control but favor abortion. This also from a Russian female source who had five of them.
I’m sure it depends on the individual.
The only Russian men I have ever gotten to know at more than a very superficial level were drivers/interpreters who worked for the [Christian] church-based international adoption agency which handled the adoption of my son. They were good, honest, hard-working men, and they seemed to be pretty much like any other good, honest, hard-working men.
However, they did drink vodka at virtually every lunch and dinner we ate with them while my wife and I were in Russia, so even THEY seemed to fit the “drink too much” stereo-type. They did not appear to be ‘drunk’ at any time, though, and they were by no means loud or rude after drinking.
I have never had any dealings with the Russian ‘businessman’-type, but I’ve heard the same negative things about them that I am sure you have heard.
I’ve worked with several over the years.
It’s dangerous to generalize, but I will offer this: I think they tend to be scammers.
I imagine this comes from living under the communist system, where you had to work around everything.
