Russia girls are amazing!

I sure hope he's getting something out of the deal - and it's certainly not a meal on the table because she doesn't cook.

Holy...what?!?! A Ukrainian woman that doesn't cook? That's unpossible!

Very true. I couldn't figure out why I was getting five requests on facebook from strange turkish men who wanted to be my friend until i realized the same thing was happening to all of my Russian girlfriends.

Your father's getting something out of the deal. I think I know what it is. As an aside, a lot of Russian women travel to the Turkish resorts and often encounter the unpleasant and crude advances of some Turkish men. I suspect that may influence her judgment of your boyfriend.

P.S. I know of a lot of Turkish-Russian couples, (including my father's wife's best friend) and my fiance's neighbor...it's always going to be a mixed bag!

I think it's interesting how as humans we tend to categorize everything, especially other humans. Even this thread, "Russia girls are amazing." Sillyness

Oh man, I'm such a hypocrite.

Now you can rename this thread "Russian girls are not all wonderful" My wife doesn't care about fancy stuff. I have to push her to buy quality of quantity. She always tells me she is a simple woman and only needs simple things. I always have to put money in her purse without her knowing. When I see her look at things and I can tell she likes them I will go back in a few days and buy it for her. (thank you god for my wonderful wife)

I've heard these stories too. They don't take no for an answer when you tell them you are not interested. And they call every Russian woman "Natasha" at the resorts. (Which I heard is their way of referring to you as a #######.) Alla told me they even, have the nerve to, do it in front of you when escorted by your husband!

No one said anything bad about RUSSIAN girls... just Ukrainian ones.

Actually the title of the thread is "Russia girls are amazing." I think the OP meant it as a reminder to the entire country, like "Hey Russia, by the way, girls are amazing! Just in case...you know...you forgot!"

Wow, that is awful. I never saw anything like that and I lived in Turkey for 5 months and have visited several times. Then again, I'm American, not Russian. I also wasn't in any of the resort towns/cities. In my experience, all Turks were incredibly polite and hospitable. I was always with my Turkish fiance, so perhaps I would have had a different experience if I were a tourist - who knows. But having said that, even when I was alone in Turkey, walking or taking the bus, etc., I never encountered a single problem. I actually thought that Turkish men were quite a bit less confrontational and harassing than American men. Just my experience. I'd venture to say that the resort culture is a bit different as they are constantly encountering foreigners and tourists. My fiance also speaks poorly of the people from this area of Turkey, but again, I hate stereotypes!

It is true that Russian women tend to have a bit of a bad reputation in Turkey as there is a high percentage of Russian (among other previously Soviet-Union countries) prostitutes in Turkey. It is unfortunate for the Russian women who simply want to visit and vacation along Turkey's beautiful Mediterranean coast.

Turkey is also a more conservative country due to it's Muslim heritage, so foreign women who dress the way they might at home might not receive the best responses. Sad but true. I did not bring any short skirts or low-cut tops with me to Turkey.

It's a very patriarchal culture (atleast compared to my liberal American upbringing), and at times was very hard for me to deal with.

Thankfully my fiance is quite the opposite...sometimes I wonder where he came from

The notorious Turkish men don't just focus on Russian women...they're quite open-minded about harassing women from Europe, the UK, and yes, our own USA women. They love blonds...of course. I got a close up view of Turks in Cyprus. Non confrontational? How about invading an island?

It begins with the bell hops and moves up the food chain. Russian women know how to push back but I feel sorry for unsuspecting women with less strength.

Your romanticized view of the Turkish male culture is...quaint.

I turned down a job in LA that was more than double my salary ...

You could double my current salary and I wouldn't live in LA. I love Northern California. Southern California is a different story. There are some nice areas, but for the most part LA is a cesspool.

I very much agree with you!Northern Ca is so different from south..Like different countries...but there are other things rather than difficulties in economics,such as perfect climate and ecology..air is so fresh,we have dears running all over...I just love that about North of CA!

We own our house and its not 500 000 as somebody-sorry don"t remember who mentioned,its around 650K and not the best you could get in this area,but we are young and working out the mortgage which is a big honour to us..

I was today with my niece in a kindgarden or pre-school,anyway..i was shocked of the culture,they teach kids age 4 that having no job means being a looser!We def.dont have that in russia..In russia you always have support of your family friends and relatives..you never considered loser even if you actually are:)So i guess thats a reason of states being More rich country..

Talking about other states,yes cost of living might be cheaper,but what about tornados?even idea of it freaks me out...but mortgage of 200 000 is quite tempting i would say:)Lucky you:)))

Woah. First of all - Cyprus and Turkey are very different. Cyprus is much more European and modernized than Turkey. Second - did you not see my statement, "It's a very patriarchal culture...and at times was very hard for me to deal with." Just ask my fiance about my "romaticized" view of Turkish male culture and he'll burst into laughter. I jokingly (yet half-seriously) threatened to start a womens right's movement while I lived there...I'm sure that would have gone over well.

Anyways, all I am saying is that I was never once harassed by a male in Turkey. Maybe it's because I'm not blond.

P.S. I resent your innuation that I am a "unsuspecting woman with less strength" and that my view is quaint. I'd venture to say that your rude rhetoric is no better than the Turks you so despise.

Turkish Cyprus like the whole island is not modern at all...far from it. i don't despise Turkisk men...just describing them as I see them and from hearing things from many sources. Most stereotypes contain some element of truth. Many Turks certainly won't be confused for soft-handed gentlemen.

I did not mean you when I said "unsuspecting blah blah." You sound like you can take care of yourself.

You were ok insinuating many Russian women in Turkey are hookers and so should expect to be treated poorly. Nobody, including hookers, deserves poor or demeaning treatment. Sounded kind of sideways to me. And you're a woman...what happened to sisterhood?

And you insinuated American men are worse than Turkish men regards interacting with women. As an American man, I take exception to that. Maybe you need to check your style of communicating about Russian women and American men on THE RUSSIAN FORUM.

The romanticized comment flowed from your "non confrontational comment," and simply because you didn't get your butt pinched while you were there, we all must be misguided or full of it.

Turkey is far from conservative when compared to hardcore Islam like Iran. Even more so then Egypt. Turkish women wear western clothes and have good jobs even in government. Turkey wants into the EU.

I suspect you got your back up about the negative comments about your guys "brothers." I understand that. Good for you to love your guy and want to support him. I'm glad you found a good guy. He sounds like a gentleman and willing to criticize his own people when justified. You will probably struggle with how Muslims treat women...but unless you plan to live there, you won't need to address that issue very much if your guy is modern and enlightened.

Yes, the "quaint' comment was tweaking your nose...but you're a big girl. Yes? Loose the attitude and you'll find us very trainable and we do tricks on this forum.

I don't know any young (even older for that matter) Russian woman that would not have this as her wardrobe for rest! Conservative non-revealing clothing on a Russian girl-??? Ain't going to happen!
