Are Russian & Ukrainian women different from women the World over? Yes & No. Because they have grown up in a system, that until not so long ago, was closed off from the rest of the world there are distinctions.

Understanding these differences is important and can be very helpful in reducing the risks of misunderstandings, or worse causing offence.

It is fair to say that moral standards are above average and that the family unit is still very important and understanding this is very important. Gentlemenly conduct is I know a turn on, so be sensitive and thoughtful in the way you respond to the letters you receive from her. Take note of her observations and her perceptiveness. Allow your lady to take the lead, particularly when it comes to intimacy.

Let her know what you look like! Why are so many men wary of including their photo within their profile? It undoubtably is a mistake and greatly diminishes their chances of attracting a woman. Be realistic, would you write to a lady if you did not know how she looks? What will she think if you show a reluctance to allow her to see your photo? What would you think if the circumstances were reversed? Yes you would feel doubtful, or suspicious. What is he afraid of, what is he hiding?

By global standards the majority of these ladies are not financially secure, but equally they tend by nature to be generous by disposition. Do not dwell on your material status, she will think you shallow. Share your deeper qualities with her, your values and your perceptions. Whilst these ladies are not economically very secure, they are not shallow and dwelling on your material possessions, or success, is not the way to go. Ok, there will be a minority that will be very interested in knowing how wealthy you may, or may not be, but you must decide if this is the type of woman you seek?

Equally remember that these ladies are actively considering what will be for them a huge leap of faith and trust. They are considering leaving behind their family, friends and a way of life that they know. They will need to feel that you are financially secure and that you are in a position to support them and help them in a new country. An unknown country of different customs, language and values. She will need to know that you will be at her side in starting her new life.

Allow the relationship to develop at her speed. Telling her you love her after two letters could be a good way to lose her. Be patient and listen to what she is saying. Be attentive, listen and try to understand what she is telling you and be responsive. As these ladies are in general very intelligent they will both enjoy and respond to your attentiveness.

These ladies are in general smart and intelligent, they are well aware of their beauty, but are also aware that their beauty will not last forever, that it is a transitional thing. Build up a level of trust and encourage her to express her deeper feelings and qualities. Engage her in deep and meaningful exchanges of ideas and values and let her know that you find her perceptions both admirable and adorable.

Whilst most ladies like to be complimented on their beauty, do not go overboard. Whilst Russian & Ukrainian women have a completely different take on feminism ( it is for them to be proudly and strongly feminine) they do want to be loved and admired as a complete and important person. Not as an item, or trophy. Someone or something to hang onto the arm of a man as if a decoration. Excessive references to their physical beauty alone could create feelings of unease for her for these reasons.

Be generous of nature and of heart with her. One of the greatest turn off`s with these ladies is meanness, but this is not so much a financial question, but more a generosity of spirit, or an openness of nature. Try to be open, trusting and generous of spirit with her, this is something that is generally admired and attractive to these ladies. Send her flowers, or perfume by all means, but giving of yourself is far more important.

Be patient with her; Be the gentlemen and follow her lead, once a level of trust has developed, the relationship can move forward, but allow it to grow and develop at a pace that she feels comfortable and secure with. Do not expect her to invite you to her country to visit her after three letters (she will think you very desperate), allow the relationship to develop naturally and at her pace.

One of the great surprises and joys awaiting the man that is romancing a Russian woman is discovering personally the depth and quality of her inner world and glimpsing her perpectives and perceptions. Discovering personally the the level of awareness and perception shared by these ladies will be a very pleasant and enjoyable part of the romance and as trust and understanding develops the qualities within your lady will become ever more apparent. Bide your time, be attentive and be patient. Your success could depend upon it and your quest will be all the more successful.
