The dedication that Russian women have to look beautiful is just scary. For the majority of them life is like a podium, and so they have to look sparkling even on the way to get a newspaper or walking the dog. Also, during five years of teaching she has never appeared at school wearing the same outfit twice. Beauty is power and respect.
The worst thing is that if you are going out with a Russian girl you will either have to dress up and put a lot of effort in looking nice, or everyone will be looking at you and wondering, how did a pretty lady like her end up with that slob?
A Russian girl will be your most devoted friend, your best advisor, critic and even your doctor if you are sick. Ladies in Russia are caring and tender, and whatever happens, they will be by your shoulder ready to face any trouble together. The best example of loyalty of Russian women: in the 19th century there was a riot against the tsar, and the aristocrats who participated in that riot were sentenced for a lifelong exile and hard labor in Siberia.
Their wives followed them voluntarily to cold deserted lands and shared the punishment. A Russian woman truly believes that her partner is the best person on the planet, the most talented, the strongest, the smartest β and she is sincere about that, because she values herself highly too. This is dangerous. She will probably offer you another piece of pie. Is dating a Russian girl worth putting on a lot of weight? You should prove that the family can trust you with their precious child.
Tests are different in each family. For example, my boyfriend Jacques had to drink a full bottle of vodka with my dad. Otherwise he would be considered too weak to protect me in danger. Lucky for all of us, Jacques passed the test successfully, and we had to celebrate it with more cake.
