The fact that Slavic women from countries of the former Soviet Union (FSU), seeking men for marriage, have a penchant for guys in suits, have been known for years. But why women of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus click more on photos of men in jackets and white shirts on dating sites?
Of course, Slavic women from the states of the former Soviet Union are slightly different from the ladies who live in more westernized countries such as Poland or Slovenia. But ladies from the former republics of the USSR in general like more feminine styles and defined gender roles, where a man is strong and a woman is ladylike.
So, if you are looking for a girl with traditional views about love, marriage, and family, she is looking for a guy who fits her ideal image: A guy in a suit.
The reason why Slavic women prefer men in suits
Listening to explanations of women from FSU countries, they like guys dressed in jackets and ties because they appear to be more secure and successful.
And security is the main priority when a woman is seeking a partner for life.
This is why your using a picture from the last wedding you attended, dressed in a suit or tuxedo, is likely to attract 3-4 times more interest than a shot in a gym showing your muscles (assuming you have the physique to brag about).
So, even the guys with a great body would do better if they used a portrait in a “groom’s uniform” (suit and white shirt, tie or no tie) as their main profile shot on a dating site.
But for guys who don’t think they present like fitness models, the way to improve their success rate with pretty Slavic girls is simple: dress up.
In women’s own words: Why I like guys in suits
This is what Slavic ladies wrote in response to a recent post about beautiful women loving pictures of men dressed in their finest formal attire.
- Vera: If you dress any man in an elegant suit, then he will look no worse than Brad Pitt. I always liked men in suits, they look more courageous and attractive.
- Shiny_dot: A well-dressed guy looks successful and self-sufficient. The way he looks seems to tell, “You see things are going great!” It is a necessary ingredient of the first impressions to get the desired outcome.
- Vita: It is really a fact that men in suits attract more attention. I live in Russia and I am absolutely in love with guys in suits with white shirts. They are so sexy and attractive that it makes me feel a huge effervesce. I cannot explain why I like it so much.
Should you change your profile picture to the image in suit and white shirt? Of course!
You may think that you are not handsome or attractive, or vice versa, confidently believe in your good looks.
However, if you want to make gorgeous girls feel weak at their knees just by looking at your picture (and get substantially higher positive response rate to your messages and EOI’s on the site), the way they experience this emotion is when you are dressed elegantly in your profile photo.
Don’t fight it: Use it.
Sure, you may say it’s “superficial”. That’s what girls have been complaining about for years, because men tend their preferences to beautiful women as opposed to the ones who are overweight and plain-looking.
Is it “superficial” or just normal?
If you feel justified in paying more attention to stunning girls than to plain Janes, then why don’t you help these lovely ladies to feel attracted to you (as opposed to another guy)?
A gentleman in a jacket and white shirt makes a girl feel excited. Just like you feel excited looking at gorgeous girls.
The simplest way to score with Slavic girls seeking men for marriage
You may have no dating or courting skills, but you will put yourself way ahead in the game if you do the following:
- Set a photo in suit and white shirt (smiling, well-lit, in a nice outdoor setting) as the main picture for your dating profile. For best results, hire a professional photographer. If you are “just trying”, ask a friend to make 30-40 photos of you and pick the best.
- State the following in your profile text:
I am looking for a good woman for marriage.
I have a stable job and will be able to provide for a family.
I am planning to visit (insert the name of her country here) within the next 2-3 months, as I am serious in my intentions to find a wife and get married.
That’s all you need to do!
Then simply write to women you find attractive and keep talking to them. If she doesn’t respond within 2-3 days, write another message.
- Ask for her Skype, mobile number, and direct email address.
- Add her to your Skype contacts and set up a date to chat online.
- Ring her on mobile, send texts.
- Email her some pictures of your city, home, daily life.
This is how it works. You need to initiate contact and keep following up. Nothing complicated.
What else can you do to improve your outcomes on a dating site?
The level of your membership has an impact on your results, just as your profile picture does.
- The most popular memberships for serious relationship-seekers on Elena’s Models are Platinum and Ultimate.
- Both options give you unlimited contacts with free messaging, chat and video chat. With the Ultimate subscription, your profile is always on top of the search results on the website. Most guys who are “just trying” usually buy Gold, so women view Platinum and Ultimate listings as more serious and these men get a preference.
- Ask ladies questions you’d like to know answers to. Don’t worry: Is it OK to ask? Just ask, you will know by her answer if it was OK or not.
- If you are serious about finding a wife, download the VIP Dating Coaching program, which outlines step-by-step what needs to happen to make your search for love a success.
In short, developing a relationship with a Slavic lady who is looking for a serious life-long union and marriage is straightforward. You simply need to keep talking to women and communicate, then set up a meeting and visit, and then ask her to marry you.
Ladies on Elena’s Models are direct and open. They appreciate the same attitude in a man. And, of course, they want someone secure and stable, with whom they will have a good life, and this is why they prefer men in suits.

As for me, the woman who registered on this site, I prefer to click on men’s photos where I see their good physical shape (not naked and ‘provocatevily” sexual, but good visible). So, guys, the suit is not an index of success for adult woman 🙂 . It was funny to read this article, really ! Poor men who will read this and take for serious 🙂 The country does not matter, the world is quite globalized nowadays, women from Ukraine, Russia etc. are travelling a lot and learn the life of other countries. No special “east european” mentality anymore.… Read more »
Olga,
How old are you? 40+?
These comments are by young Russian (Ukrainian) women to this article: Do you want a beautiful woman? Dress well for your profile photo.
So, I guess you, being mature, are looking for a good body. But younger beautiful women, who are less experienced than you, love men in suits 🙂
In any case, men stand a better chance to be successful if they have a more formal photo, based on Elena’s Models statistics. You may not like this fact but it’s still a fact 🙂
I am 38 years old Ukrainian woman. Well, for me a good body is much more the sign of success than suit 🙂 Because the good body is an index of good and healthy lifestyle, which does not require some suits to impress. Nice and stylich casual (something like italian “sprezzatura”) is more preferable and natural on mens’ photos than formal suits.
Olga,
Yes, if a man has a sense of style like Italians, it’s attractive for Slavic women, who are crazy about fashion. However, an average male member of Elena’s Models is not an icon of style. For these men, they simply do better dressed in a suit (for the main photo), if they want to find a wife on Elena’s Models.
You want to see bodies, I get it. But most girls are not like you.
“However, an average male member of Elena’s Models is not an icon of style.”
This is so true… Woman always cry a little when they see my wardrobe.
Henk,
No way… Your real name is “The Rock”?? 🙂
This is absolutely correct! As a woman of Slavic origin myself, I’ve always had a soft spot for men wearing suits, well-tailored suits to be more exact. It gives an impression of a successful, confident gentleman who is classy, intelligent and rich, not to mention that suit up men look really mind-blowingly hot! Even the most “average”-looking guys become attractive if they wear a suit that really fits them: broad shoulders, flat stomach (jacket hides it very well), tall figure – what not to like??
I am 30 years old. If to choose a photo of the man in a suit or with a bare torso, I would pay attention to the first one. The costume is one of the signs of success and confidence. Of course, this is only the outer shell, but nevertheless, such a man will be interesting.
Dear commentators Elena and nataevjen. Maybe good physical shape of men is not important for you? It is possible, I do not argue , it is your personal taste. But if you prefer physically fit men (like me), what for these photos with men’s suits to impress you to click on photo if you are finally interested to see absolutely other in men, to see them who they really are (fat or slim, athletic of not, with beer belly or without) ?! And successful men are successful in any clothing. Are you looking for really successful men or looking for… Read more »
Olga,
It looks like you simply like to argue.
There is no point in trying to push your views on me 🙂 I have a really hot husband who looks great in a formal suit and his birthday suit 😉
The only point of this article is to tell guys about the magic impact of a photo in a suit on a dating site like EM.
If they want to be successful in dating Slavic women, they should look at statistics and facts. If they want to date you, they should listen to you 🙂
Hi, I am a Russian girl and I am mad about men in suits. They look so sexy and successful. They behave as if they had oil-derrick and a lot of money. As soon as men put on a suit, they become more elegant, polite, educated and important.
I prefer when a man in a suit or at least shirt and trousers, than in jeans and t-shirt. A man, who dresses in classic suit gives the impression of a modern Prince charming, he’s sexy and attractive. But, unfortunately, modern men prefer the convenience and often dress in sweatpants and sneakers.
