The Paris Hilton of Russia

When I look upon all of my past relationships, Russian girls are the boldest in the sense of knowing what they want. Out of the five I’ve dated, four flirted with me before I had to chance to say hello. They have a sense of confidence within themselves and, are very knowledgeable from a geographical standpoint. Although, I have never vacationed in Russia, the girls I’ve dated were always college exchange students which were more true to their culture and had no interest becoming Americanised.

If you ever happen to have the pleasure in dating a Russian girl, please pay close attention. Their accent becomes quite thick once they feel at ease around you. There will be times when you may need to determine what she is trying to say. I would strongly suggest not ridiculing her under any circumstances. She did not grow up around American English.

For the blokes who are accustomed to dating girls who only speak American English, don’t be dismayed if you encounter a girl that follows the above scenario or frequently speaks to you in her native tongue, which has happened to me 99% of time with all the girls I’ve dated who resides from different parts of the world. The root of the problem (if you choose to call it so) is her growing so comfortable around you she’s forgotten you do not understand the language from her native land.


I need not tell you that is a good thing. ;)

Cheers!

I have to say that Russian women have a very unique look and style to them. I swear, it doesn't matter how cold it is outside, or how much snow, they would always be wearing high heels. I honestly don't remember seeing a single Russian lady who wasn't wearing heels.

More than two weeks ago, I saw a special about Russian women and the way they dressed compared to women in the West and the report said the exact same thing about them wearing high heels in winter time. I saw that on a Channel called RussiaToday on a satelitte dish in Johannesburg. There's even a website about this Channel.

A last year I was visiting this Francophone forum about all Eastern European countries, all French men said the same thing about Russian and Ukrainian women.

The French on this forum are saying they prefer Russian and Ukrainian women to Western European women because the Russian/Ukrainian make more effort from their attire to the old fashioned values to maintain their feminine nature and appearance. They also say that the women in the East are more famiu oriented and more traditional than the Belgian, French, Dutch etc. Western European women it seems are too concerned about "equality", feminism etc and they lose part of their charm by thinking that they must "emulate" men in the way they dress and emasculate them when in a relationship.

Katia Verber is running late. That's not unusual for an It girl in Moscow, where the Soviet-built streets are choked with traffic. Not helping matters is that the 24-year-old socialite's It car - her mother's chauffeured gold Bentley — has just broken down. "I'm so stressed!" sighs the feathery voice on the other end of the line when I call to check in. "I'll be there in 20!"

Two-and-a-half hours later, Katia flies into the Starbucks on the storied Old Arbat Street. I can't help but ask: If you shell out $250,000 for a car, it should work, right? "Oh, no. No, no, no," she says in crisp English, with the patience of a kindergarten teacher. "Bentleys break down all the time."

Before I can respond, her $7000 luxury titanium Vertu cell phone is beep-beep-beeping. Loudly. "Ugh, I hate this ring," she says, raking through the contents of her studded Balenciaga bag with both hands. "It lets everyone know you have a Vertu. It's so embarrassing!" The phone keeps on beeping. Finally she finds it and answers with a perky "Ah-loh?"

Katia, a dark-haired heiress with piercing eyes and perfect teeth, is like one of the Hilton sisters here. She's the daughter of Alla Verber, who helps run Russia's biggest luxury retailer, Mercury, which brought Dolce, Gucci, and Prada to Russia in the mid-1990s. Katia works as a buyer at Mercury, but she spends much of her time posing for Russian glossies and deciding which party invitations to accept.

This is not the Moscow of yesteryear, when the waiting list for a clunky Volga sedan was often five years. Soaring oil prices transformed this one-time capital of communism with dizzying speed. Even today, Moscow still boasts 73 billionaires (compared with New York's 70), and the number of Russian millionaires shot up last year to 136,000. But the gap between the rich and poor is growing, too: The average wage is still a measly 16,253 rubles, or $686 a month, and 18.9 million Russians subsist below the poverty line on monthly wages averaging less than $170.

There are two Russias, as Katia says: One hobbles along, while the other races forward, spending its oil cash with the sort of careless abandon that you could find only in a country where toilet paper was once considered a luxury good.

I've come to see how Katia's half lives.

Does she date black men?
