Summary: a post summarising my understanding of russian womenan culture

Body: After visiting russia for 5 summers, I went to see a psychologist in Moscow last year, and asked her to help me understand Russian women better.

She said that to understand russian women, I need to understand several things.

  1. 150 years ago nearly all Russians were slaves. I've since come to understand this as meaning that most Russians are only a few generations away from being hillbillies.

  2. After ww2 (due to losing 15% of their population, mostly young men) there were twice as many young women as men. I've since come to understand that women were competing for men back then, and understood the value of a good man. This has resulted in several generations in which there has been considerable evolutionary pressure on women to be more attractive.

  3. The time of perestroika was a tremendously difficult time for women. I've since come to understand that this means a very heightened survival mentality, and incredible pragmatism and heartlessness. Russian women are security seeking missiles. You won't find tougher women than Russian women.

  4. Many Russian women work very hard at not working. Finding and locking down a male labour saving device or male slave is a key strategy for most Russian women. Ostensibly the goal is to be a stay at home mom, but I think it is laziness, and the goal is simply a perpetual childhood and not having to work.

The good is that men and maleness are valued by Russian women, and that there is an undercurrent of extreme loyalty if a Russian woman loves her man.

The bad is that men are often seen as little more than bankomats (ATMs) on legs, and the casual cruelty that Russian women display towards men they have no use for.

It is said that you can tell a lot about the character of a woman by the way she treats people she has no use for. This is an essential way to filter Russian women.

I'm lucky to have met many good Russian people, and luckier still to have met some good hearted Russian women. To those good Russian people: spacibo and zastarovia (thanks and to your health). To those good hearted Russian women: ya lyublu dolgo (I love you longtime).
