Russian men enjoy themselves, drinking with their friends long into the night, ignoring their women, unless they are hungry or the dishes are dirty. The strange thing is, the women are happy just to have a man, for men are rare here. Men are in an enviable position, there are more women than men, so they can be jerks and still have a line of women waiting for them. The imbalance, and resulting attitude, shocks the expat women here. They are used to men like myself, who prostrate ourselves to please them, not the Russian men who laugh when they ask why the man needs to drink with his friends every night of the week.
Most expat women try to date a Russian man, but usually only once.
After that experience, they resign themselves to celibacy, as the least painful route. The imbalance also affects the male style here. The men dress like men all over the world would if they could. The same suit and tie for a week straight, with only a clean shirt ever other day. Just plain uncaring.
