Thread: Why I love (and hate) dating Russian men (article)

What the author says is 100% true as she knows what she is writing about. She might be a tiny bit frustrated (which is small wonder considering she is quite educated), but it's mostly a sober and analytical account. It seems however that she is attracted by men with certain traits (and her description is very sincere, don't you think?); i think she is honest in her analysis of her relationships. She often describes the notorious cultural differences that are always there.

I think all she writes is true cos I live in Russia. No reason to think she might make up something. Very close to real state of affairs.
