I agree -- she lives in the USA! Why is she trying to date Russian men? If she doesn't like them, then date regular Americans or some other nationality.

For the record: I read a very entertaining chronicle by a Finnish columnist, called "Dating the men of our neighbouring countries. She had dated men from Sweden, Estonia and Russia. While the "statistical sample" of her little survey wasn't large, she nevertheless made some observations that I thought were good --- and she used Finnish men as the norm.

She had ended up marrying the Russian guy and was really enjoying the super tight family bonds in his family. So she was saying that unlike with the other nationalities, she got a whole new family with this guy which was nice for her, an only child with only her mother living.

Not sure how typical that was. She also described the Russian guy as very independent, which she liked, macho and quite passionate (the last two seem to be the stereotype about Russian men). The guy she married actually lived in Finland though, so I am not sure how typical he was. Her one complaint about him was that he was a fitness fanatic.
