(I have never been much of a feminist, and I like it when the guy takes the lead. ) A bad side to Russian guys surely must be the binge drinking though! There is nothing attractive about somebody who drinks away his money and health and gets into drunken fights.

I totally recognize everything you describe. I am a Dutch woman living in Armenia, so I think you can imagine what that's like. ;-) The only thing I don't really do is dating Armenian men, mostly because of the different expectations in gender roles. I should state clearly that I am not against dating Armenian men per se, so who knows, maybe there is a really great, modern thinking single Armenian man out there somewhere in Armenia. :-) This post made me laugh out loud.

Baker Jr Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:14:20 +0000 http://www.transparent.com/russian/?p=268#comment-679 As an American Man living is the USA, I too, find interesting a Swedish Lady living in Russia. And I find interesting her comments about this Russian Man in her Class. Chivalry is NOT dead! Even in Russia! Now there was a Jewish man of Antiquity who told His followers that they should treat their women AS IF they were the "weaker sex." Also, that they should LOVE their wives, and protect them, a message very different from the dominant culture of the time. This message of the Apostle Paul was taught in Russian Culture for almost 1000 years, and even though 3/4 of a Century of Communism tried to blot it out, the Russian people moved quickly to regain this part of their Heritage and History before 1991 came to a close. I hope you fully enjoy the Feminine, not Feminist, mindset that the best of Russian men are able to cultivate in you! I still love your Blog!!!
