I think that 20 years ago or so, that was the case with a lot of Russian guys, and some of the older guys (from the Jurassic era, like me lol) may still prefer to pay for a woman's dinner, open doors for her and other chivalrous niceties. But the younger guys are becoming more accustomed to women paying for their meals. I think a lot really depends on the individual and what his or her beliefs are, just like in the US. There are guys here who still prefer to pay the bill.

As for me, I like that gentlemanly behavior - as long as there are no strings attached, like "well I bought dinner so now you owe me sex". You can kind of get a sense about a guy usually. If I think all he wants to do is get in my pants, I will insist on paying for my own dinner.
