Differences between Russian women and Ukrainian women
« on: August 06, 2013, 09:56:02 AM »
When I search the Russian women dating sites I see there are also many Ukrainian women featured, and some Belarussian women. What are differences between them if any?

Ukrainian women are much better looking.  Their feet don't stink after being in pumps all day long.  They are much better cooks than their Russian  or Belarus counterparts.  And they are much more likely to fall in love with a Western Man.

At the risk of repeating myself,

I am new, so I do not know about all the past discussions. But, can I please ask you guys who are married or about to be married or really want this cool Russian woman... what if she says:

'I love you sweetheart, but I am sorry, I just cannot live in the USA; but marry me and let us live in Russia'

...or if already in the west ...

'I love you so much Husband, but I am terribly unhappy here in the west; please, let us move our family and have our lives in Russia'

Seriously guys. What do you do? :) :)

You forgot to mention that Russians have a tail and horns and drink vodka since morning.

Considering he has a GF in Niko, I doubt he is very concerned (hence the bias).  I do have to ask though Barb....how do you come to such conclusions?  You have dated one Ukrainian girl and how many Russian or Belorussian women?  I only ask as a curiosity.  FWIW, I just spent 2 weeks with a lovely Russian woman who walked around in pumps all day and her feet were perfect...not to mention, she is an outstanding cook.  Oh, and she does not drink vodka :)

To be honest, I do not know.  Borsch is a Ukrainian dish anyway isn't it?  She does make a mean Plov (I believe that is the correct spelling) though.   :nod:

We spent only a few days in a B&B with access to the kitchen facilities and the rest of the time in a hotel so we ate out a lot.  The next trip we will be in an apartment so I will be able to sample more of her dishes.  For those wondering, of course I help out in the kitchen.  tiphat

Borsch is popular all over the region. Each does it slightly differently.

To be honest, I do not know.  Borsch is a Ukrainian dish anyway isn't it?  She does make a mean Plov (I believe that is the correct spelling) though.   :nod:
And Plov is an Asian dish that comes from places like Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, still very popular all over FSU.
There is a number of dishes that are made all over FSU and trying to separate Ukrainian food from Russian is like trying to figure out how American hokey is different from Canadian. In the Soviet Union people were displaced and moved around the USSR by millions. I believe there are more ethnic Ukrainians living in Russia than in Ukraine and there are plenty of ethnic Russians who live in Ukraine. Besides, the majority of FSU people are mixed anyway. There is a funny saying that goes something like this: "take a Russian, scratch off the top layer of skin and you will find a Tatar underneath". The reason you see such a variety of beautiful exotic women there because the Slavs mixed with Asians (there are both Far Eastern and Middle Eastern mixes, Vikings, and other Europeans and even Africans (probably the most admired and famous Russian poet: A. Pushkin was a mix of Russian and African.

That would make sense as she is a Tatar.  You can catch a glimpse of Asian features in her face which adds a touch of the exotic to her beauty.  I found it interesting that other RW (not from that region) do not think too highly of them as illustrated in this quote:

"Tatars very obedient both cook and cleaner, however as all Asians. To you feet will wash also this water to drink"

Not sure what that last part meant.  An insult perhaps?  They drink the same water they wash their feet in?  Well, she doesn't so I am safe in that regard :).

I personally feel there should not be comparisons made with RW and UAW.  If you take an eraser to the UA and RU border, not knowing it previously existed, would you really notice much difference?  I think it would be like various differences in the UK or US by region.  They have their subtle differences but very similar in many ways.

very well put, Mike. I also feel the differences are mostly dictated by the culture of the place where they are living and has nothing to do with ethnicity.

I should have clarified my statement to read "originally".  I knew it was popular all over the region and have seen many different types and colors and have never had a bad bowl....except when I tried it cold  :sick0012:

I will stick to the hot versions from now on :)

And there you have it. The only difference in far too many RW is prejudice. To the Baltics, those misbehaving ungrateful lowlifes who had nothing before the empire gave it to them. To Ukraine, who we never did anything bad to. To the Southern countries, the dogs who eat their own babies and whom we lovingly label negre. There is not much difference when it comes to the physical and they can all be fantastic women. It is only IMHO that they are conceited and many are prejudice. Almost 1950s Georgia USA style.

I think it holds true more for the general and older population than for just the women. I believe that you will find many who do not think this way at least about all three but try it as an experiment sometime. What do you think about the Baltics rebellion? Is it true what they say about Stalin and Ukraine? What do you think about the Uz, Kaz and Chech Southern countries?

Now that I have alienated myself from half the list I will run Forest run.

Go Ukraine.

Yes, I dated a Tartar woman was my first relationship with a woman from the former Soviet Union. She was (and is) wonderful. She spoke fluent English was Orthodox for generations and had a wry sense of humour. Passionate and off beat, intelligent and joyous. Somewhere I wrote about it on RUA, 2.5 Relationships.

If I had known about RUA and its predecessor's I might be a married old fart like some others present.
