Gross, gross, gross.

You sound like a dingbat.

You sound like somebody who has never lived in Eastern Europe.

I'm married to a man who was born and raised in Russia, so yes you are a dingbat.

Nailed it! Sounds exactly like my Slavic ex-boyfriend. This posts make me grateful for my Bangladeshi husband.

1. I hope that your husband is different from the majority of Slavic men I know and interact with every day. But even if he (this ONE) is, that doesn't change the culture and tendencies displayed by the majority of Russian and Ukrainian men. (And if he isn't different, you might not know yet; it is very difficult to throw off and abandon one's culture and upbringing).

2. It really isn't logical to assert that a person who lives among these men and interacts with them is a "dingbat" for stating the trends and behavior that the majority of Russian men display, just because you don't like it, or you feel it doesn't apply to the ONE Russian male with whom you interact in America.

logic fail. I have a cat who doesn't scratch furniture, so you are a dingbat for saying that many cats scratch furniture. See how that works?

Russians are physically attractive, but they have the personalities of Klingons. Ill-tempered, mean and just ruthless. And they sound like ogres when they speak.

Young Russian men actually do respect old women, but only if you wear a babushka and yell while saving your arms threateningly. In Russia, babushka women are feared by men like elephants fear mice.

Yes, exactly! In Ukraine, there are many more old ladies than old men (because Ukrainian and Russian men tend to drink/smoke themselves to death long before), and the babushkas sit outside their apartment blocks, watching everyone come and go and commenting/commanding on everyone's business. Nothing is more terrifying than a babushka in full battle mode, waving her arms at you (even if you don't know what she is saying).

During the riots in the city center in Kiev, babushkas would occasionally step up and get into the faces of the police (who had no problems killing men), shouting and pointing. The policemen cringed and took it.

Good call, PP. Women over about 65 are very much respected here. They rule the place. So if you can keep your head down and stay alive between about 30 and 65, you will be respected by men.

Yeah, we have that here in the US too. It's called dating and marriage.

OP here. Ovi's a perfect example -- he's ugly as sin, yet I still find him sexy.

You only find him sexy because he's a three time Hart Trophy winner with a net worth in the nine figures.

I've never been to Russia, so my experience is limited.

But the Russian met I've met her (in America) don't seem attractive at all, especially personality-wise. They seem very sexist, for one. They also seem very arrogant. They lack a certain joie de vivre that I personally find to be the sexiest characteristic a guy can have. They also seem very rigid in their worldview and outlook.

And the worst thing (again, in my very limited experience) is that they lack a sense of humor. I just can't find a man attractive if he has no sense of humor.
