Elena, I find 95% of Russian/Slavic girls to be inexplicably attractive. I still dont understand why, but they just make my heart rate double. It could be the way you girls speak, in a mesmerising accent or your complexion or simply some vibes that seem to affect only me, I dont know!This is a true story. I was in Florida some years back. An African American Player kind of guy was my boss for a project, and he very enthusiastically took me to a place for lunch called "Hooters". This place would have blonde waitresses in ultra revealing uniform but somehow, it got predictable and boring after a few minutes. Some days later our whole team went to a Russian restaurant, and there was this fully clothed, very decent looking Siberian girl.
And my heart started going wacko. She was not that great like the skimpy models. Still, I found her too attractive. Must be women's intuition or whatever, this girl would not let me eat in peace, she would keep hanging around [must have sensed my heart rate change] and ultimately started a conversation with me about how she likes India and all that. I was a complete nerd then and just blurted to her
"Why are Russian girls so attractive?"
My colleagues were all American, and they were like "Moron! Did you just ask that?" But this girl, she takes my hand, rubs it softly and replies "Russian girls will die for her husband, maybe thats why." I was a lump of jello! Could not think straight for a couple of days  IP: Logged |

You're right, Ighunk, I know many examples of such women devotion to the husband: starting with my Mother and Father....
Now i work with one woman of 65,who is well - educated,grew up a very talented daughter - plastic surger, but the whole her life she lived with a too - much drinking man. She never went even on a busness trip,once she risked to leave him and when she came back he was liying on a kitchen floor dead, i'm suprised why she lived with him and she said it was her responsibility.
May be it's a second world war where we lost more then 20 millions people (mainly men), Afghanistan, Chechnya, liability for military service,we are always afraid for our men... So in peaceful time our woman always try to feed them better and to feel him better.....IP: Logged |

Thanks for clarifying Elena!
So a big thank you to Russia for devoted Russian Wives  If I had a wish for Russia, it would be that all Russian men develop a sudden dislike for Vodka, drugs and alcohol. The country would become heaven overnight.
