Do All Russian Women Want To Escape From Russia ???

From all appearances it seems that all women want to escape from Russia because Russia is in a very difficult social and political and economic situation.I hate to disappoint you, but that type of thinking isjust a stereotype.Growing up, it seems that each generation has their own stereotypical idea about what Russia is and how hercitizens respond.

For almost seventy years, Russia was a very closed nation and outsiders (other nations), could not see or for that matter, interact with the Russian citizenry.From this action of closed borders, somehow, was bornethe stereotype of what Russian women looked like, peasant stock, with stern looks and aged appearances.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the opening of borders and the birth of the Internet, the wholeworld astonishingly discovered just how beautiful, feminine, slender and educated, Russian women are!Foreign men who were finally allowed to travel to Russia, saw, with amazement, the beauty and grace ofthe Russian woman.They looked upon these women just like kids in a candy store.The typical stereotype disappeared as quickly as melting snow in spring!

Unfortunately, as quickly as the old stereotype of Russian females disappeared, a new stereotype emerged;"All Russian women want to escape from Russia" and because of this new labeling, the Internet has so manyRussian Dating agencies.

The truth of the matter is, that the percentage of Russian women who are looking for their "soulmates" through the internet is no greater than the percentage of women from western countries such as England, Canada,Australia and the United States who are searching the Internet for their future intended !!!!

Here is an interesting tidbit:With the population of Russia at approximately 170 million people as compared to the United State's population of more than 250 million people, why isit that you don't see as many dating agencies from other countries?The answer, you guys, is a simple one..... CHOICE!!!

Women, from the USA and most other Western Nations have choices to use or not to use a dating agency service. Almost all women from western countrieshave computers at home or at the job. Also, Internetservices in most of these countries is ridiculously low compared with Russia.

Only a few very big Russian cities such as Moscow and St. Peterburg have Internet services which are more or less affordable for the average person. Also, Russiais very huge country, with its eleven time zones from East To West is now just getting Internet services established. It is only within the last three to four years that Internet service providers have begun to take hold withinRussia and the fees for monthly service are out of the reach of most Russian citizens.

It is not uncommon for internet services to cost $100.00or more, a month. With the average salary, for example,for a Russian doctor being around a $100.00, it is a luxury few citizens can afford. But, we are talking abouta single woman or a one parent household.Do you think that the average American single mother could afford this kind of money for Internet services? So, this is the reason why you see so many Russian datingagency!Russian women HAVE TO USE their service !

Another reason for these dating services is the languagebarrier.For a very long time, Russia was a closed border countryand even when Russians learned English at school, withoutthe ability to practice the use of the language on a dailybasis, English was basically a dead language and these agencies also became translators.

Now that everything in Russia has changed. It is a countrythat is open to the world and people are now stimulated to learn English.Internet providers are popping up all over Russia and Internetcafes are entrenching themselves in cities, big and small.In this situation more and more women can communicate with their soulmates through the Internet without any help of anymarriage agency. They don't need translating services as they did in the past. Many women prefer to spend money on English lessons, than to pay very high prices for dating services.

People all over the world are generally the same. Nobody likes to show private letters to a stranger or to convey their most private thoughts and Internet conversations toa dating service employee for translation.

At the present time, Internet services are grows dramaticallyin Russia.Yes, it is a difficult time in this vast country but it isimpossible to stop progress. Russians are beginning to communicate with the rest of the world through their own computer.In the very near future you will see a dramatic reductionof Russian dating services, the "Russian Women Eager to Escape" myth, and the typical stereotype about Russian women totally disappears.
