English-speaking men seldom visit the Russian part of the blog, although it could be quite entertaining.

Use an online translator to read women’s comments, and you may learn in a day more than in a year of dating Russian women online. Girls are quite direct in their comments, talking about their experiences in dating love with local men and western love-seekers.

It is my constant source of inspiration and research. The tips I am giving you about the best ways of dating Russian women are based on my daily conversations with thousands of young ladies. I am not dreaming it up — my advice is based on real and current values and beliefs, prevalent among modern Slavic girls.
