Thousands of single Russian and Ukrainian women are seeking a husband in western countries. Why are they doing so? Why can’t they find a husband within their own country? Here are some explanations:
- Russian women are traditionally family oriented. They have difficulty to find a partner with similar values locally. Most available men won’t engage in serious relationships.
- The latest census shows that there are approximately 10 millions more women than men in Russia and former USSR. In many cities, there is a ratio of approximately 4:1 single women versus single men of age to marry.
- A typical Russian or Ukrainian woman dreams of finding a life partner and creating a family in her early adult life. Unable to find such a man in their own country, they use international dating and matchmaking sites that cooperates with marriage agencies.
These are the main reasons why each year, thousands of Russian and Ukrainian women become the wives of men from different countries, including USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, France and Denmark among other “western countries”.
Over the years, many people have used this Russian mail order brides phenomenon in a wrong way known as “dating scams” causing Russian women seeking a foreign husband to be labelled as scammers. The vast majority of Russian women seeking a western man for husband are doing so for sincere reasons: simply creating a happy and healthy family.
Russian women live in the largest country on earth, they have a very rich culture and heritage and are proud to be Russian. Leaving their family and friends for a man who often lives thousand of kilometres away is a very big decision that needs to be taken. It is normal that they wish to meet a serious and decent man, with a good job and who will in a position to provide security to their new family.
Beautiful Russian women become the brides of thousands of men every year. Due to the unavailability of single men in their own country, the phenomenon of single Russian women seeking a life partner in other countries is expected to keep growing for the next several years.
