Typical Russian Men?

Here's what the Quad Tsar had to say:

А кто хозяин в доме?

Е.П.: Естественно мужчина.

То есть если что, то и кулаком по столу…

Е.П.: Я думаю, что в любой семье правильно, чтобы мужчина был хозяином, поэтому за мужчиной последнее слово. И деньги зарабатывает мужчина

Here's a translation someone on the skationg boards did:
And who is in charge at home?

Е.П.: Naturally man.

That if that, by a fist on a table.

Е.П.: I think that in any family is normal, that a man is in charge, therefore
the man has the last word. And the man earns the money.


So...is this a common attitude in Russia or is he just REALLY old fashioned?

He's a gamma-male trying to act as a beta-male. Alas, he fails miserably. A Russian alfa-male does not need to "bang his fists on the table", his women naturally accept that he's in charge and act accordingly.

P.S. For an example of a Russian alfa-male in his prime, take a look at me :-)

AFAIK gamma is a wise guy who #$@*s all the females while alfa and beta are busy struggling for supremacy.

So you agree. The man should be in charge.

Genesis 3 chapter 16 King James Version of the Bible

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

There may be a bit of misinformation here. I know a few russian families, and the women there are strong and always get the last word in the house. (Without fists)
Cheers, :o

Sounds like just about every marriage (that doesnt end up with the guy abusing the woman pysichally).

Usually men have to ask permission to do just about anything and the women always get what they want. If the guy doesnt agree, no sex for up to indefinate amounts of time.

That is if the woman figures out that the guy wants sex all the time. You can't pester a woman for sex and expect to be in control for long. Play it right and she will come to the you. Before you can be in control you've got to have self control.

No sex? Dogboy, get to know your neighbours, doesn't have to be just her indoors all the time ;-)

... and they never admit this fact because it would hurt their swollen and inflamed pride.

I completely agree with those who say that there aren't many men in Russia who share the same attitude to women. I don't think he's old-fashioned. He just thinks that this kind of attitude is common and accepbtible by other people. Everyone has their own opinion, don't they?

As for me, I don't share Pluchenko's attitude to women and would never say that my wife can't earn more than me! :evil: That's stupid, imo.

Honestly, I'd never form an opinion about someone or something by reading someone's interview. I guess there are lots of Americans who treat their wives as if they are beasts.

That must be a typo. I am sure you meant "breasts" .

I don't have an opinion about him other than thinking he is the best skater of all time ever.

I was just curious what other men think.

Everybody talks about control. Why does somebody have to have more control in a family unit than somebody else? Isn't the entire idea based on love, and the fact that you are supposed to share things with each other? Who cares if somebody cooks, or somebody makes more money than the other person, or somebody takes care of the kids while the other person goes out and works. The point is people are supposed to be happy together - equally. Period.

Get a grip on yourself man!

Talking about men being in charge? Guess what! It's women who are pretty much in control of a relationship. It's not hard to guess how.

Generally true. But not if you never let them know how much you want it.

That's exactly the attitude which distinguishes a real man from a suplicating "nice guy".

The woman is only in charge if she feels the man is desperate. If the man is not desperate and the woman knows he can get laid whenever he wants with whoever he wants, it's the woman that becomes desperate. A concept 'nice guys' will never understand.

The opposite is also true. That is if you change "woman" to "man" in what you wrote and if the woman is "hot".

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I just saw a TV show featuring Pluchenko a couple of years ago. He then said a few things that I didn't like very much. Nor did my Mom who also watched that show. I quite agree with you that he's an ace skater but some great people are not great at all as far as their personal life's concerned. What do you think?
