Oftentimes people think that Russian women seeking partners abroad are trying to escape the country. However, this is untrue: Most women seeking contacts with western men openly state they love Russia, their native land.
Russian women seeking partners abroad love their Motherland and don’t wish to escape
It’s a paradox, but Russian women looking for contacts with western men would get really offended if you say anything bad about their country. They love Russia!
Some folk may think that “Russian brides” (the name given to females from Russia who seek relationships with foreign men) are trying to escape poverty. Others may think they want to leave because of the cold climate or other cultural or political reasons.
None of these is true. People who seek immigration use the channels available to people wishing to immigrate. There is professional migration as well as special talent programs and many women who are looking for partners abroad would qualify.
People who wish to immigrate can spend a couple of years and achieve their desired goal. At the same time, if you are trying to find a relationship with someone who lives abroad, you have little assurance you can actually build a successful relationship with someone within 2 years and move.
So, definitely, if one wanted to get out of the country, looking for a relationship isn’t a good way.
But why do Russian women then want to date foreigners? Surely they realize they would have to move to another country to make it work, if the guy isn’t interested in moving to live in Russia?
Of course, they realize it. But they are seeking a partner abroad in order to find a good partner.
Russian women seek a partner, not immigration
They couldn’t find a partner at home and there are not enough men, this is why they seek someone abroad, because they’ve heard that foreign men like Russian women and open to start a relationship. So, they thought about it and decided to give it a try.
Having a husband had a huge meaning in Russian culture, which dictates a woman can only be happy in a marriage. A single woman is considered unhappy, unlucky, and unwanted.
You probably struggle to understand the meaning, but you’d get it if imagine that having a husband is just as important for Russian women as having a job or career for westerners. Imagine a person who doesn’t have a job in your country, doesn’t own a business, no occupation. People look at him and feel there is something wrong with this person: Why doesn’t he work?
The way how people in Russia look at a woman who doesn’t have a husband: What’s wrong with her?
It is so important for a Russian woman to have a husband that ladies feel unfulfilled if they are single. It is this cultural paradigm that drives women to even seek a partner abroad, in order to have one.
It’s like people in a city with huge unemployment decide to take a job elsewhere, even though they like living in their home town.
This is why Russian women love their country but still seek partners abroad.
