ONLINE DATING
Typing ‘Hot Russian Brides’ Is the Worst Way to Start Online Dating
Since my previous article about Slavic women gained some attention (and started a bit of a debate in the comments section), I’ve decided to talk about another topic in a similar vein: Hot Russian Brides.
Or more specifically, the phenomenon that involves men approaching online dating by looking up things like “hot russian brides” and its many variations.
As a dating consultant and an advocate of online and international dating’s numerous benefits to society, I know that a lot of people are wary of dating websites or even the idea of men, particularly Western men, dating foreign women — and for good reason.
After all, this kind of dating often attracts a certain crowd, one that is not necessarily looking for true love. Instead, these people are in it to take advantage of others either for money or for other unsavory purposes.
Are Russian Brides a Real Thing?
By definition, a Russian bride is a Russian woman who is about to get married. The emphasis on her nationality can also mean she’s someone who is marrying a non-Russian man.
A pretty simple concept, right?
But when it turns into online search queries like “hot Russian brides” or “where to get a sexy Russian bride”, it takes on an entirely different meaning. And if you’re someone who’s genuinely interested in using online dating as a way to find a long-term and committed relationship, this path may not be the most effective.
Don’t get me wrong. I know all about the exciting parts of dating and why looking for conventionally attractive ladies to date is something a lot of men are interested in. I’m not being naïve or willfully ignorant.
But if you’re not interested in casual flings and hookups, it’s important for you to understand why the Hot Russian Brides mindset can lead you to a different (and dangerous) side of international dating.
Why Are You Looking for Hot Russian Brides?
If all you want to do is stare at suggestive photos of Russian women or match up with ladies who are looking for a good time, then by all means, carry on.
(However, you should still be careful. You may be targeted by romance scam operators whose schemes are designed to attract the same kind of online dating patrons.)
But if you want to find a Russian woman who is interested in a committed relationship, then you’re going to need a different tactic. Searching for “hot Russian brides” and visiting dating platforms that cater to this demand is not the best way for you to meet a Russian woman you will marry and start a family with.
In many ways, it’s akin to the difference between instant gratification and long-term happiness. It’s easy to find what you want if all you’re looking for is quick satisfaction. Hot foreign women? They’re practically a dime a dozen.
But online and international dating that offers you a chance to expand your horizons in hopes of meeting your soulmate halfway across the world can take time. You will need to know which platforms to use and which services to avail.
So the next time you think about plugging “Hot Russian Brides” on a search engine, consider your motivations first.
Do you want a pretty girl to look at (who may or may not even be real)? Or do you want to meet your actual, future wife?
