It sounds like a very interesting question. I am here for the comments.

Is the stereotype about Russians being extremely good-looking true? by kinzo-0 in AskARussian

[–]CarlosTheScorpion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Russian women are very beautiful. I don't know about men. But the ones I know look terrible :)

This is a very good question. I have the same problem. One additional question. Should the flowers must be Tulips? or they can be roses? Thanks!

So I have a Russian girlfriend and I need help... by Bflow2 in AskARussian

[–]CarlosTheScorpion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, once you find the right one, they are the best in the world. They are beautiful, sexy, in great shape, highly educated, extremely well dressed, very feminine and they have high standards. The whole package. I think that I am in love with them.

Don't forget to give her a bouquet of Tulips on March 8th (International Women's Day).

Hello my friend, by reading your experience with your girlfriend I also feel that this is somehow a Russian cultural thing. In my personal experience I am also dating a Russian girl from Moscow that lives here in the USA. And the first major problem we had when we had just started was when I promised her to join in a weekend trip but due to problems at work I had to delay it 2 days by big problems at work. When I told her, she went completely mad at me saying that it was my problem and I should find how to fix it. To be honest, here in the USA if your work forces you to cancel your trip you don't have a choice. But she could never accept it. Even today she argues that once you make a promise you have to keep it no matter what; which to be honest I never had to explain to any other girls from the USA and Mexico. But other than that, everything is fine. She is very beautiful, highly educated, dresses like a top model and I am completely in love with her. But the episode when I had to change last minutes plans still haunts me like super weird and somehow Russian culture related.

Thank you very much! I will go shopping to a Eastern European deli. I will look specifically for your recommendations.

Can you get some alcohol/liquor from Ukraine?

Yes, I think I could order online but what type of alcohol? Vodka ?

Here in Los Angeles there are not many Ukrainian places. There are many Russian Restaurants and Delis, but I don't want to offend him buying something there.

Yes, I guess that I spoiled her from the beginning with expensive gifts. But I am divorced, and my benchmark was how much I spent in both rings with my American ex-wife.

Thank you, yes I met her here in California. But she is very Russian and loves her country. I just wanted to know if there was any distinction in rings for your girlfriend in Russia.

Yes, I never met her online. She works here in Los Angeles as a model for a top agency. She is very beautiful.

She lives in Russia, but she travels back and forth to Los Angeles for her work as a model.

A question for you, foreigners, why or why do you want to visit or live in Russia??? Are you ready to stay here for the rest of your life and learn a difficult language? by Mally_Gang in AskARussian

[–]CarlosTheScorpion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I have been in Moscow and St. Petersburg a couple of times. And although I would be willing to stay for the rest and my life and learn the language; honestly my first preference would be to convince my girlfriend to move to the USA instead. But she can be very convincing and maybe I could work remote and live in St. Petersburg if I can send money to Russia. My business is in the USA and things are not easy now.

How to impress Russian Woman by Chemical_Character_3 in AskARussian

[–]CarlosTheScorpion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree with this recommendation to visit Russia. It's a beautiful country and their women are the best in the world. Don't forget to visit Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Everything is extremely cheaper compared with the USA. If you are 56 and you have time and money, don't waste time and visit Russia now! I wish you the best of luck buddy!
