Oh Dear !!
This thread does seem to be degenerating into a series of personal attacks, and is beginning to trade insults and "boasts" - surely not what the Forum was designed for ?
I would hate to think that anyone reading this thread chose to make judgements or generalisations on UK citizens based on some of the comments I have read above .
The only thing that I personally have learnt about Russian women, is the same thing that I have learnt about women, and people, the world over - and that is that we cannot generalise in such broad terms - invariably peoples responses to us depends greatly on our own response to them.
I am often deeply ashamed of the way I see ex pats behaving, and talking, in bars here - but, that does not mean that I think they are ALL loud, arrogant, and obnoxious - and, I would sincerely hope that people observing this ex pat behaviour at times does not make such sweeping generalisations about our nation as a whole.

You are right Steve in that people should not generalise but they do - human nature.

I suggest that you read a few more posts - it's just the way the forum goes. Nothing too serious so don't treat it as such.

Steve, of course most people DONT think that all expats are loud arrogant and obnoxious. I for one have met my share of decent hard working well mannered and behaved Brits, my sister in law being one of them. I think, although, that a lot of them act like that because they are in Cyprus and feel like they are on vacation-they probably wouldn't act like that back home. I also think that a lot of expats refuse to do anything to integrate and interact with the locals and that along with the superiority complex a lot of them have and the fact that they seem to move in packs and try to turn their neighborhoods into small UK's gives the wrong impression. I do not understand, personally, how someone, who claims he/she is living the UK for something better, would want to turn their new home into what they left behind.

Guilty as charged
It is true - we all do generalise - it makes for an easy reference point at times, and, I fully accept that I do it also, even if I try not to .
I guess I am just contributing in my own way, and, offering an alternative view - maybe it is sometimes interesting to see the threads as a "newbie".

I would think that it is. Welcome to the forum!

Interpretation of the above contributed by andry-cy is as follows:


[b]For men,

Gather at the kafeneion, play a game of tavli, smoke excessively, go hunting Ambelopoulia, leave the wife on her own and chase the Rossides,

For women,

Gather mid morning at each other house for coffee and gossip, then get dress go to the butcher or mpakkallin, may be do a bit of flirting around to boost self esteem, In the afternoon line up a secret meeting at "lime gardens" with a komenon, then rush home and have Fasoles for the family diner, then Wash the dishes once hubby gone again to the ......kafeneio in the Russian tourist area.....


My apologize in advance should i have left some habit behind.
But it is in my all out effort to generalise.[/b]

Whoa there, you are coming off a bit racist.

What a joke!

It is just like describing him " a white little poofter"!

of course he is a racist bastard!

Thank got to the beautiful Russian masterpieces that decorate our countries the last few years.

I wish Prince Charles had the imagination to marry a Russian masterpiece rather than sleeping with "antiquity"

TO Mickleham, I have seen most of your posts & none of them is on the track. You seem to reply before it goes to your brain. Don't swear as you have been doing in many posts. You seem to get agitated like you are addressing a Kurd ! out of rage as in 'OPEN MARRIAGE' postings they tried to put you on track but again you are off track. Be little civilized. Now onwards I will simply ignore you !

Park, you seem that you have been parked for a long time on someones knees!

Sorry mate, look elsewhere, i am heterosexual practising species

[Allegra]

If allegra is not HOT, then i suppose that she will be an exception for a Russian woman!

It is commonly known and accepted as a fact that simply the Russian women are in "a class on the own" for being the SEXIEST!

dms007.. just a question i wanted to "pop up" to you...

How many non Russian women, from this forum, have you dated till now?

[Anaa]

I ve read this topic and I think all of you do not really know much in practice about Russians women, you all just theoretic. And as result if you don’t know much about Russian women you not that good for us!
First of all, our country is really big that’s don’t mix us with East Europe, Russian women are different from East Europe, and specially from Ukraine, but Ukraine women for sure much more beautiful….
Its really hard reading your theoretical stories

Secondly, I saw a lot of English girls in parties, and they are behaviour much more worse, and specially in this case that they ugly. Nothing inside …..
