Ukrainian women seeking options to date foreign men are not news. Recently we discovered top-7 complains of Ukrainian wives about their husbands. But what about the guys? Are there any particular things that annoy gentlemen from Ukraine in local ladies?

What Ukrainian men dislike in their women?

The same outlet that brought us revelations about Ukrainian wives’ grievances, KP.ua, gathered intelligence about the grudges that male partners voice most often about their spouses.

1. Women don’t look after their bodies.

One divorced Ukrainian guy complains that at the age of 55 he is fit and healthy, able to do 30+ pull-ups and 120 push-ups, swim several miles. But there are no ladies who are interested in fitness as much as he is. At least, he doesn’t see them at the training grounds.

Ukrainian psychologist Irina Petrova points out that local females simply don’t have time for formal exercise, as they are full-time caregivers for the children and have to cook, shop, clean and do the washing. Their home chores are their exercise.

Her advice to the divorced guy of 55? To choose women 20 years younger (seriously), if he values appearance so much. She points out that there are plenty of young women in training centers.

Truth is, women 35+ get used to be looked at as genderless creatures. In Ukraine, ladies of this age feel that they are seen as “too old” for love. That’s why they either concentrate on taking care of kids or look for a partner abroad.

2. She wants me to make all decisions.

Ukrainian men complain that ladies don’t want to make any decisions but rather put all the responsibility on the male partner. A Kiev guy says that all the girls he was dating didn’t want to solve problems together but wished him to solve their problems. As the result, instead of just having to deal with his own issues, he would have to resolve his girlfriend’s problems as well. That’s why he is still single and looking for that special lady who will be sorting out her own stuff.

Another guy from Kharkiv feels the same. He thinks women don’t need a man, but simply want to dump their problems on a guy.

The psychologist says it’s the guy’s own choice what kind of women he welcomes in his life. Does he want a lady who behaves like a little girl? Then it’s no wonder she wants a daddy who will solve her problems.

Men dream about a strong self-sufficient woman, who doesn’t look for a daddy, but for a worthy partner

3. The woman is trying to control his every minute.

One Ukrainian man says he met a self-sufficient lady, whom he liked a lot. Until they went for a vacation together, where she wanted to be together 24/7. The girlfriend was waking him up at 8 am to accompany her to a yoga lesson, because she was bored to go on her own. She didn’t want to go to excursions alone but only with him. Instead of going out with his girlfriend, the guy wanted to browse Internet on the computer, and she was unhappy about it.

The couple decided to live together but he moved out in a month, because the girlfriend was calling him at work. He didn’t like it and decided he preferred to live on his own.

4. She complains about everything.

One married guy complains that the wife was unhappy about his giving her too little attention, staying at home instead of going out as a couple.

He thought that her having a child would make her happy, but she again complained about not his helping her around the house, coming home too late, and “living in the computer”. Too many complaints to his liking.

5. Marriage turns a man into a slave.

Another Ukrainian man says that marriage is a “voluntarily slavery” for men. He is not allowed to meet friends after work, spend time away from the family. His wife is looking after two kids, who are 1.5 and 3 years old, and she demands the husband to come home straight away after he finished working, which he feels is overly restrictive. He wants his own time away, not just at work but hanging out with friends to relax.

6. She is a bad cook.

Grigory, a newlywed husband, complains that his wife cannot cook properly. He doesn’t like his wife’s cooking and his mother tells him to come and eat at the parents’ home, so that he can enjoy the food. But he cannot eat there all the time, because the newlywed wife gets upset.

In his words, his wife cannot even make the rice pudding correctly, because she uses a type of long-grained rice and she should be using the round rice variety instead. This makes him annoyed and unhappy.

Man needs care, and he needs to be fed well. So if ladies, you don’t want his mother to keep on taking care of her “little boy” better improve your cooking skills.

What do you think about Ukrainian men’s complaints about their wives and girlfriends?

Are these valid complaints or the Ukrainian men are just spoiled brats?

One thing we can say, the lists of grudges that men and women voice about each other seem to match.

The things that make local guys unhappy are exactly the issues that Ukrainian wives feel aggrieved about.

That’s why Ukrainian girls love the “period of flowers and candies” when a man courts the woman. Because after they become a couple, she is the home cook, cleaner, children’s caregiver, and he just yearns to be away and do what he wants in his spare time, rather than spend it with the family.

So, the courtship period is the only time a girl “feels like a woman”. The man is giving her attention and tries to please her. That’s why girls try to resist for as long as they can, because it’s all downhill from there!

Besides, just like in Russia, people in Ukraine marry rather early by western standards. The young wife could be only 19-22 years old and her husband is probably just a couple of years older.
