In fact the women in Russia are very greedy and this trend grows.

If some tens years ago it was normal for men to pay for women and women usually payed back honestly (they did not accept gifts from people they did not like). Also there was a tradition that they could make some dishes by themselves as a pay back for a restaurant which was paid for by a man etc.

But now the situation changed. There appeared a lot of women who just want to get money from men even without giving anything in return. Some of them ask men to pay for entertainment, and then they just disappear without a trace in search for new men. Many want a paid restaurant bill as a pre-condition for acquaintance. They call such men with Russian word "лох" which means "fool who is easy to trick".

Still others find permanent "sponsors" (the term originated from the first beauty contests where the girls had to have a "sponsor" to participate, and the "sponsors" usually were rich businessmen who payed for sex with those girls). So they just want to live at expense of such men and suck money from them. Some tell so openly.

This triggered the back-reaction from men so that many of them are afraid of becoming "лох".
