"The girls are all the same" or are they really different

    Talking about the differences between the American and Russian women, it is important to point out that every woman, everywhere in the world is different and unique in her own way. Still, we’ll try to make a general comparison between the girls in the US and in the countries of the former Soviet Union.

    Goals. The very first thing that makes us who we are is what goals we set in our lives. For most American women career and financial security are top priorities. The Russian girls, on the other had, were brought up to be wives and mothers. Don’t get us wrong, they also work and enjoy what they do but for them family always comes first.

    Family. Are families different here and there? In fact, there are a lot of similarities. For example, in both cultures the man is the head of the family. Yet, the difference is that in Ukraine the man also takes care of all financial matters in the household while in the US the man brings money home, but it is the woman that plans the household budget.

    Appearance. Next, but not less important is appearance, of course. Many American men complain that American women think they are “God’s given gifts to their men”. That’s why the better-looking they are, the more demanding they become. Here women try to look attractive all the time (using make-up, wearing high-heels, etc.) but the most important thing for her is to feel well and comfortable with her man. She always wants to be beautiful and special just for him.

    Signs of affection. American women are very independent and self-assured and very often it seems they accept simple signs of affection as a way of harassment. Here women still very much appreciate being treated like ladies… they want to feel cared for and loved. Flowers or a box of favorite chocolates could make her day really awesome and it’s not just because she likes them, but because you, her man, have shown her your affection and care.

    Kids. Kids have always been the greatest treasure for every family, that’s why many families try to stay together even if they have some misunderstandings… The divorce rate is higher in the US, and there are many different reasons for that. Here, we believe that every child has the right to be brought up in a loving and caring family and that’s why parents always do their best to stay together and overcome all difficulties that they come upon during their married life.

    Well, these are just a few insights into the world of women that very often seems to be a real mystery for men. Just keep in mind that a woman will stay woman no matter what… She’ll always be glad to see that somebody cares about her and loves her. You don’t have to be a prince or a knight in shining armor to find the way to her heart… Just watch her and listen to what she says and she’ll show you where this magic key is hidden.
