English for Russian ...men

[GiGii 4]

The english conversation language can be hard to pick up for Russians, since we use a lot of slang in talking.

Here's the site where my husband has learned a lot of interesting words... from a Russian lady.

English for Russian Men

[slim 1,530]

This site just proves it, Russian men have it so good!

I sent her a request to do some "romantic" Russian words to better help us poor saps who can't communicate effectively with our Russian wives.

There's a difference between normal Russian chicks and the one on the videos... most dont play up the "super #######" theme unless they are after something, like a dude, his bling bling, or a visa/GC

Sure, but the difference is, in Russia, the "average" girls look like that. In America, only the slutty girls look like that. The "average" Russian girl looks smokin hot without trying. American girls try pretty hard to pull that off! (And 9 times out of 10, it shows!)

Quick edit - Let me clarify..... that's for the younger women. The older women (both countries) had style and grace.

I agree. There is a reason there are so many "beautiful" (yet mostly slutty) Russian chicks that are single and end up bitter old maids Maybe Russian men want some class too?

It's about time. Gosh, it's been months since there's been any cobra necking goin' on up in here.

Both young Russian women AND men take far more pride in their appearance than their American counterparts. 3/4 of the people under forty in America are walking around looking like they either just got out of bed or came from the gym. American women can be hot too; most of them just don't seem to care though. Keeping in shape? What, that's fat discrimination! Wearing nice clothes? You should love me just as much if I go out in public looking like a slob!

As for American men... well, I'm divided on that one.

I think it depends on what part of the US you are talking about, rural areas tend to be more slobberish in terms of dress, and soccer moms think wearing sweatpants everywhere is acceptable. However, in bigger cities I think people look much more presentable. I think all Europeans take better care of themselves in terms of appearance.

I think some of the differences in dress in Russia are due to "keeping up with the jones's" type of attitude. Like they have to wear the best brand names (even though most of it are knock offs).

What amazes me, is stores that sell jeans for like $250 and Russians buy them without a second thought... even though for some this is their months salary. Cell phones too, some are $400-500 and you see teenagers with them.

Maybe I'm biased, but I completely agree with Slim and Eekee.

I keep trying to explain to my friends how different it is (here vs there), but they don't believe me.

I do agree that Europeans generally have a better appearance as well (sans UK).

Although, I did notice when I was in Moscow that a lot of the girls were starting to dress like American women, because they think it's a fashion. They don't realize it's just laziness. Of course, this isn't a blanket statement of all American women, just the majority. I'm sure American women have generalized complaints about us American men though too.

This hasn't been my experience. I've lived in both urban and rural areas, and it doesn't really matter. In urban areas, the people you see who are nicely dressed are going to work. Americans have become slobs, both men and women. For every woman you see in sweat pants and a t-shirt, you see a man also. And gawd, that's about my biggest pet peeve. It's fine if you're actually doing things that require sport clothes, but it really pisses me off to see someone walk into a restaurant in sweats.

And holy ####, don't get me started on mini-skirts and Uggs.

I think most non-wealthy Russians go in for the cheap knock-offs and only selectively buy a real brand name here and there. Look carefully at some of the name brands you see. Nike swooshes look just a little bit not right, etc. It's often hard to tell, and I'm by no means an expert, but most of the fashions you see on the streets are knock-offs. As for phones...I dunno. Mostly I saw the cheapo flip type that you get free with a 2-year contract over here.

Maybe I'm biased, but I completely agree with Slim and Eekee.

Same. Although, as stated, I think it applies equally to American men and women. Russian men even dress better than American men.

I keep trying to explain to my friends how different it is (here vs there), but they don't believe me.

I think it's because they don't have any comparison. When you're standing in the middle of Red Square, and most of the women look like they should be on a runway, you start to understand that maybe American fashion really isn't where it's all at. And when you're standing in the middle of some podunk village way out in the boonies, and the women STILL look like they should be on a runway, you get it.

Although, I did notice when I was in Moscow that a lot of the girls were starting to dress like American women, because they think it's a fashion. They don't realize it's just laziness.

Tell me mini skirts and Uggs haven't made it to Moscow. Tell me goddamit!!!!
