“Beauty will Save the World!” To Russian (Ukrainian) women, it’s a slogan for high personal standards, as well as demands. Beauty is a valuable asset, precious to sustain as well.
- What it means for an Eastern bride / wife?
* Morality & Evaluation. To judge things, events, behaviors, actions, impressions and phenomena, Russian women use terms of “nice” and “not nice”, “beautiful” and “ugly”, or such like.
* Protest & Foothold. Existence determines conscience, and vice versa. Russian women are vulnerable to environment conditions; for protection, one strives to generate a comforting aura of beauty around herself and her loved ones. On the other hand, fine life & company spread shining wings behind her shoulders, and fill her with an urge to fit in, worthily and notably.
* Esteem & Vanity. Russian women regard their own beauty as a key criterion and proof of personal accomplishment, lovability, feminine worth, and social success. One cultivates and demonstrates her appearance to stand on a par with other women, and conduct immanent competition within the female species. (Peers, the strictest jury! Female life insiders, managing through same intricate pressures!)
* Duty & Contribution. Bearing the banner of Beauty is their Responsibility – to prove and boost their Men’s success, their Children’s pride, their Motherland and Nation’s glory.
* Respect & Manner. A Russian Woman has a habit of maintaining her beauty daily, plus enhancing it in honor of any slightest occasion, and proportionately to the significance of it. This is a message of Respect to other people, a gift of respectability to them, and a declaration of respect to herself.
* Love & Warranty. It’s vital for a Russian woman to feel lovely and desired. She treasures her Man’s exclusive faith, and works hard to feel secure about it (also by incurring other men’s acclaim, though she would wisely restrict their worship, by her own intrinsic fidelity).
When a married Russian woman ceases to maintain her looks and radiate that all-beautifying energy, it means one or several things: (1) she thinks her husband has had enough what he has deserved, (2) her environment isn’t favorable enough, (3) she’s overtaxed with deserving in other alleys of family duties.

- What it means for a Western dater / husband?
A jewel’s splendor is summed up of several factors: nature – a woman’s physique; purity – her “beauty from inside”; light – her man’s attitude; polishing and setting – beautycare and clothes.
Speaking of “adoring” and “adorning”, one can remember miracleworking
icons of Mother Mary in Russian churches. They are usually covered with
lace gold, pearls and jewels, tributed necklaces and ornate crosses,
surrounded with flowers.
Generally, much of Russian congregational and benefactory donations are
invested into the temple decoration and artwork. Part of the special atmosphere
in Russian Orthodox churches is doubtlessly owed to their sophisticated and
luxurious ornamentation.
Now time for some down-to-earth prose.
How much is that you’ve personally seen – allowed to see! – of REALLY 0% CULTIVATED Russian female beauty? Not on photos, or “responsible dates ”, or on their leaving home to any place “where people see”, or having guests like you, or even swimming or hiking where waterproof makeup may serve? Not at the “kiss distance” where all blemishes are proverbially blurred, and clothes are as good as keenly they beg peeling off (the power of Design inserting its cent again)? But in the morning, face to face washed pristine?
Making no allowances for personal Spirituality, Gratitude and Passion vs. the crude Matter? And… through female eyes, set sharp for minor details by Mother Nature (whereas Men are used to hunt by a general picture)?
The eyes with which she scrutinizes herself daily?
Whatever fine genetic features, she is made of same flesh that other people. The only difference is that she would rather make a hara-kiri with a hair pin than confess doing Anything Special to Look This Way.
How about waking up ten minutes earlier to slip back in to the spousal bed from the bathroom with an “image on” – hair groomed, skin toned, teeth cleaned, brows plucked, colors highlighted? (Hoping you don’t read this.)
Any trickless revelation of pure, bright and supple skin is owed to the Reserve of Youth, Health and Leisure. Then Correct Nutrition Diet, Ecology, and Boxed Science + Regular Procedures kept away from men’s eyes, carry on.
How about suffering through savage or sophisticated tortures of “-care” for the sake of Natural Beauty, which may even include eyebrow & eyeline tattooage enhancement?
Well, strawberries mash can replace some cream, but, for the psychic good of both, God forsake spot your lady wearing it!
Leave alone the mindblowing vacillation on high heels along the snowy outdoors and across the home-sweet-home bedroom carpet, regardless of all the truthful medical warnings…
Appreciation, Gentlemen…
Gratitude and care against DEpreciation, please…

Dear Wonderlander;
Is fidelity for her husband as important as his would be to her? My own experience with the women here is a man seems to be seen as silly or stupid if he cannot see what is going on behind his back.
I understand what you have said many times with regard to the respect and honor Eastern European women hold to their commitment, but the more assurances the better, da?

Normally, our women can’t even think of cheating on their loved ones! Infidelity is a threat but when spiritual connection, intellectual interest (“things to talk about”) or the emotional bond of mutual love, respect, comfort and gratitude is lacking.
At the same time, Russian culture holds an element of apparent “friendly flirtation” between the sexes (made of jokes, compliments and gestures of help), which hardly ever means something more but drives some Western men too mad, below reason as well.
