Why a Russian Wife?
by Irina Timchenko
In the 1990-s, when first foreign men came to visit Russia, they were charmed by Russian women. Those who happened to visit Moscow, Leningrad or Kiev, were amazed with the passion, bright temperament and "charming impracticism" of Slavonic women. Being classical products of the Soviet society, most of them had little idea about things like wealth, business or pragmatism, and they were very open-minded and kind-hearted. Today, the charming naivety of Soviet women is gone, but still each foreign visitor agrees about disarming femininity of Russian women. Nowhere in the world can you find so tender, sensitive and responsive women.
All Russian women are surprisingly brave - they can bring some peculiar scent of adventure to any little thing they are doing. On entering a room, in less than a second, a Russian woman can fill all the space around her with emotion, - the quality which produces especially strong effect on men. It's like a portion of adrenalin! No wonder that more men keep coming to this part of the world again and again, and that their adventures in Russia never end.
There is an old myth about Russian men being strong, manly and a bit naive, while Russian women are submissive and easy to manage. I can't be objective talking about Russian men, because my husband is absolutely special, but I know for sure that the traditional myth about Russian women is not true. Russian women are much stronger and more purposeful than women of other nationalities. They simply use indirect ways to reach their goals, and believe me, they do this charmingly well! Foreign men are so crazy about Russian women because they are seeking for a lifetime adventure, when everyone around keeps telling them that marriage will put an end to freedom, creativity and emotion in their life. With Russian woman, they obtain hope that marriage will never become dull. Because all Slavonic women, have a strange feature: unlike others, they usually do the first thing that comes to their mind..., and only then they think. But whatever's the result, they are never sorry. Isn't this a guarantee that your married life will be adventurous?!
Russian women tend to dress like models, make up before breakfast, wear high heels and tan stockings, no matter how cold and slippery it is outside, and innocently flirt everywhere with everyone - just for self-pleasure. As a university teacher, I often have a funny feeling during my lectures - it feels like in a movie studio: every girl student is always dressed as if she is ready to be interviewed for a fashion program on TV. Moreover, they flirt all the time, even during the class, and even with me! This is an exciting quality for men, of course.
One more charming thing about Russian women is their impulsiveness and spontaneity. This spontaniety really leaves you speechless! It brings a fresh breath into one's life, and with a Russian woman, you may be sure this will happen all the time. How can one stay indifferent to little scenes like this!?
This morning, when I was beginning my university class, a late student interrupted me by entering into the class. I asked, "Why are you late for the class? You live in the dormitory just three floors up in the same building". The girl's eyes flashed with excitement and she said loudly, "You can't imagine what a morning I have today! For the first time in my life I had a cup of StarBucks coffee and chatted with a real American teacher in the dorm this morning!" - what could I say! I just let her in and went on with my class...
Honestly, I often catch myself on behaving the same way, too. The principle is simple: why not use your strength while you have it! Women in my country just try to live their lives without looking back into past. Foreign men are attracted with the scent of adventure that Russian women spread all around themselves like a magic parfume. Once a man has tasted the scent, he keeps looking for it again and again...
