You already provide lot of information but what do I need to know if I want to deal with those women ?
Because the whole thing about "don't gice flower and gifts" at the begining doesn't really apply to them I think it is common that guys give stuffs at the the start of a relationship..and that' s not a bad thing to do
"very honest about the man-woman relationship."
do you mean that they don't play mind game, right ?
I would like to reiterate a point made here earlier, that Western women want to enjoy the "benefits" that come with the role of men without being held accountable for the responsibilities that come with it. In short they want to be independent when convenient and at the same time expect to be able to run into a mans arms and escape the consequences when things go south. Men truly are getting a raw deal. This is totally unacceptable by any standards and has screwed up the male psyche in the Western world (even here in India in the big cities).
Russian women do not think on those lines. They would strongly prefer the man to be financially responsible for the woman (in every stage - from courtship/dating, to the household later(?)), and in turn they are more than happy to accept the traditional role of the woman - that is to stand by the man and ensure his success outside of the house. A male who does not measure up in this regard is not considered a man in Russia. Russians by in large are survivors. They have seen, experienced tremendous societal changes, and went through the resulting hardships in a matter of a decade in contrast to most other countries which have gone through the same process, much more gently, over many many decades or centuries. The result is that they are distant, cool, clinical and reserved (towards outsiders) people by temperament, and as such their women can be rather "uncouth" (by Western standards) in driving this message home.
In terms of the dating game, they expect the man to be the leader in terms of where to go, what to do, and when to do it. They expect and respect a man who makes decisions, and intensely dislike taking on that role. Dating a Russian woman is well worth it, but you should get this 50/50 mentality out of your system (that is if you have it) if you want any measure of success. In terms of material show of affection, they do expect you to be as generous as possible within your means as this is standard practice in Russia. If you come across as miserly you will be on a Russian woman's "****-list" very quickly. Russian men are generally brutal (by Western standards) with their women, and being a Westerner who understands and wants to take on the role of a man is a good balance, which is certainly a welcome breath of fresh air for them.
So no they do not play mind games from that point of view
How long it remains this way is a question, because I dated (seriously unfortunately) at least 1 "bad" egg (wanted to be rather independent but was very Russian in her expectations of men) while there lol.
