Find a bride in Russian or Ukraine

Both Russian and Ukrainian mail order brides are very popular among the men from the USA, UK, and other Western countries. Thousands of men date and marry women from Russia or Ukraine every year. What are the reasons? Why are the mail order brides from these countries so popular? What makes them so special?

Here you'll find all the answers to all of your questions about both Russian and Ukrainian mail order brides. We'll explain how the whole mail order bride thing work. We'll explain how to find a Russian or Ukrainian bride, how to attract her online and how not to screw up on your first date. We can safely say that here you'll find everything you need to know about the mail order brides from these two countries. As well as about the mail order brides in general.

But it has nothing in common with gold-digging. The thing is, the economical situation isn't very good in the post-Soviet countries. The salaries are quite low outside the big cities, like Kyiv, Odessa, and Dnipro in Ukraine and Moscow, St. Petersburg and Krasnodar in Russia. People don't live in poverty in these countries anymore, but we still can't say that these two countries are rich.

It makes sense that the majority of women from Ukraine and Russia want to get a better life for themselves and for their future children. It doesn't mean that your income is very important, of course. The mere fact of relocation to the first world countries, like the United States or the United Kingdom, is a rapid improvement of the living conditions for them.

But of course, it's not only about the improvement of the living conditions. Thousands of Russian and Ukrainian ladies think that western men are better than the guys in their home countries. We don't want to insult anyone here, but, well, that's the truth — American and European men are real gentlemen, well-mannered, smart, they take good care of themselves and they don't usually have an alcohol problem. That's the complete opposite of some guys from Russia and Ukraine.

It makes sense that some beautiful, young and intelligent women from these countries want to find men who will love them and treat them with respect. That's why they often become mail order brides — and that's great for you, isn't it?

The last reason is quite similar to the second one, actually. Some ladies just can't find love in their countries, for one or another reason. In such situations, some women start using certain websites and apps, like Tinder… but what if they want serious relationships and not a hookup?

Then, it's time for them to become mail order brides. There are thousands of Russian and Ukrainian women who are sure that they'll find their forever love abroad. And who knows, maybe you'll become that man for one of them?

Which of them to choose, a Russian bride or a Ukrainian bride? No, they are not the same. They have many common features, but they also have lots of differences — if you want to know more about these differences, here they are:

Language
Despite they have many similarities, Russian and Ukrainian are two separate languages. They have different words, different grammar, and different pronunciation. You will most likely not notice these differences, except pronunciation: Ukrainian women speak softer and sound more melodic than their Russian counterparts.

Appearance
There are lots of similarities here, but the number of differences is huge, too. Both Russian and Ukrainian brides are extremely beautiful. But, Ukrainian ladies have darker skin and hair. Russian women are more like blondes with light-blue eyes (but that's not a rule).

Mentality
Ukraine is oriented more toward Europe, so the people in Ukraine are actually Europeans. They are not xenophobic, and they are more open-minded then Russian people.

Independence
Ukrainian brides are often considered to be more independent than Russian brides. As we've said, it's all about the orientation of their country. But, despite Ukrainian brides are more like European women, both Russian and Ukrainian brides are still family-oriented, loving and respectful.

Being a lookist is not the best thing in the world. Appearance is of course not the most important thing when you're looking for a wife and for a mother of your future children. However, we just can't do anything about it — both Russian and Ukrainian women are so damn extremely beautiful!

It's a stereotype, of course. But (lucky you!) it's one of those 100% true stereotypes about these ladies. The best thing about their beauty is that they are naturally beautiful, so you will be pleasantly surprised in the morning. It's all about their rich gene pool — modern Russian and Ukrainian women have Tatar, Crimean Tatar, Baltic, European and Slavic ancestors. It's like a melting pot of nationalities and ethnicities, and we all know that melting pots give great results, right?

But their natural beauty is not everything. Russian and Ukrainian mail order brides are perfect at makeup — and we are not talking about that bold and bright makeup here. Your bride from Russia or Ukraine will spend an hour in front of the mirror. In the end, she'll look like she has just woken up and didn't make any makeup — but somehow she'll still look better than every woman around her. Sounds like magic, right? We don't know how to explain it, you just have to see it with your own eyes. You'll love it.

Another thing why we love both Ukrainian and Russian brides is that they always take good care about themselves. They know how to dress, they go to the gym every 2-3 days, they take care of their gorgeous hair. They are not just naturally beautiful, they also do everything possible to not lose their beauty. And it's great.

There are several good things about the femininity of these ladies. Like, at first, they don't need to be the leaders — unlike women from the United States, for example. They want to be treated with love, they want to love and to support you, but leadership in the relationships is not their main goal.

Of course, their femininity doesn't mean that they are shy and non-ambitious. Ukrainian and Russian ladies are definitely not modest and silent. We'll return to it later but remember: if you are looking for a bride to serve you, these ladies are not what you need.

Of course, women in the US and other first-world countries don't support all those "traditional gender roles and stereotypes". Women don't clean and cook anymore, because, you know. Feminism and gender equality. That's great, isn't it?

Ukrainian and Russian mail order brides are different. They won't be your slaves, of course. But, cleaning and cooking are two basic things every wife does in Ukraine, and the majority of them don't see anything wrong about it. That's just how they were raised — thanks to their traditional values, these ladies are perfect housekeepers.

This is another cool feature of the Ukrainian and Russian mail order brides that has roots in their traditional family values and their culture. These women are patient and humble in their relationships. They are very sincere and they don't usually have any secrets. They are sincere about marriage, sincere about what they want in life, sincere about what they want from you. That's another reason why we love these brides — they know what they want and they don't try to hide the truth. We are sure that you'll love this feature, too.

Both Ukrainian and Russian mail order brides are family-oriented. Their grandmothers and mothers told them their role was to be a perfect wife and a great mother; they were raised by people who share traditional family values; they have always been told that family is the top priority. Again, it doesn't mean that they are shy or not confident — it just means that they know that close people are more important than everything else. Does it sound like a bad thing?

This is one of the main differences between Slavic and western women. While western ladies are nowadays strong and independent and have no time for their families, the Slavic girls are still ready to do everything they can to make their husbands and children happy. They cook dinners, they can easily quit jobs to raise children, they clean the houses and, what's even more important, they see nothing bad about it. Let's appreciate this.

"Uneducated Slavic women" is a very common stereotype lots of Americans and Europeans still believe. The thing is, that's not true at all — almost all the mail order brides from Russia and Ukraine have university diplomas, they all are very intelligent. Higher education is not as good in these two countries like in Stanford, Harvard, Oxford or Cambridge, of course. But they are still well-educated and very smart. Many Russian and Ukrainian women take the good jobs thanks to their degrees, so don't believe the stereotypes.

You choose the right website, start talking to the brides, fall in love with one of them, and only after that you book a flight to Russia or Ukraine.

Here we'll tell you how not to screw up during the online phase of your dating. We'll answer all the questions you have to make this whole online foreign dating thing easier. Let's start.

There are two stages of online foreign dating. The first stage begins when you start choosing the right international dating website. It's not the most difficult task in the world, of course. But, there are still lots of pitfalls and nuances here. Continue reading if you want to know everything about them!

It's the very first thing you have to pay attention to when you choose a dating website. If it's not safe, it doesn't make any sense to use it. We are sure that you don't want to lose your financial information and your credit card data. It's unlikely want to lose your money as well. That's why the dating website you use must be as safe as possible.

When we say "safe" we mean that both your personal and financial information must be protected. The right website must use the latest SSL certificates and encryption technologies. Check the link above — if it begins with "HTTPs" and not with "HTTP", it's the very first sign that this dating website is worth your attention.

Another thing you should avoid, along with the unsafe websites, is the websites with lots of scammers. Unfortunately, some of the mail order brides sites are the hotbeds of scammers — and it makes sense that you don't want to use such websites. All in all, you are here to find a mail order bride, not to lose money.

There are two things you should do before registration: check if there is any anti-scam policy here and check if the mail order brides are real. How to do it?

It's very simple, actually. Mail order bride websites always report that they have strict anti-scam rules. The best mail order bride sites validate the identity of every Ukrainian and Russian bride (they often do it offline). They do also block and delete any account that is suspected of fraudulent activities, and they always return money if you lose them because of a scammer. That's how the best websites work, and that's why you'll find only such sites here.

Another question you have to ask sounds like this: "are the ladies real here?". To answer this question, you'll have to google their photos and ask for a video chat. Be careful, because the latter can be quite expensive (interpreter services may be needed). Pay attention to the messages they send you — do they look like real messages from real women?

So, let's make it clear. You'll need to find a safe and secure website that has a good anti-scam system. You'll have to google the photos of the ladies and talk to them, maybe even via video chat. If everything's fine, if the site is safe and the mail order brides look and answer like real persons, that's great. It means that you can use this site without any doubts.

The last thing you'll have to consider when choosing a mail order bride website is its convenience. The interface must be comfortable to use, the mobile version of the site (or the mobile app) must be perfectly optimized. We all use smartphones more than laptops and desktops, so it has to be comfortable to chat with the women even if you use a mobile phone.

So, you've finally chosen a mail order bride websites and now you are ready to start talking to the ladies. Give us two minutes and we'll tell you 5 tips for online dating success!

So, you've booked a flight and now you are ready to see your lady in person. Our congratulations — it's a very strong step. It's the finish line of your dating story. Remember, it's only up to you to choose whether it will escalate to a love and marriage story or not.

We divided the main tips into two categories: dos and don'ts. Let's start with some "what-to-do" tips about dating a Russian or Ukrainian mail order bride.

1. Be well-mannered and polite
One of the main reasons why both Ukrainian and Russian brides are looking for a western man is because they believe that they all are real gentlemen. Don't disappoint her! Demonstrate your charm, say compliments (but not cheesy ones), make her laugh. She thinks that you are a prince — so be a prince to her!

2. Give her a small gift. Buy flowers
Ok, full disclosure: these ladies adore small gifts and flowers. Remember that the price doesn't really matter — you'll have to show her that you care about her, not to show her that you can waste money. Flowers, perfume, chocolate — all these small things will work great. Here's a short example that'll help you understand what we're talking about.

When you were at the online stage, you most likely asked her about her favorite flowers. Did you? If she told you she loved chamomile, it will be much better to buy her a simple chamomile bouquet instead of classic expensive roses. Remember the details she told you in the past and use them in your favor!

3. Be intelligent and smart
Both Ukrainian and Russian mail order brides love smart men, and they expect a western man to be really clever. Stereotypes, maybe.

Show her that this stereotype is right. For instance, show that you are a well-read person. It would be fantastic if you read something from Russian/Ukrainian classic, like Shevchenko or Kotsiubynsky (Ukrainian) and Pushkin or Bulgakov (Russian). We can guarantee that she read their books, too, so it will be one more topic to talk about at the first date.

Meet another short list of tips about a first date with a mail order bride. Here, we'll tell you what you have to avoid — and this is very important.

1. Don't try to share the bill
The absolute majority of ladies from Ukraine and Russia don't share the bill. They know that it's the man who pays in a restaurant. That's the other side of their traditional values - they are perfect wives and mothers, but you pay for dates. If you can't accept it, don't worry. She'll share the financial responsibility in the nearest future... But don't even think about talking about it on the first dates.

2. Don't make sexual hints on the first date
Of course, Ukrainian brides and Russian brides differ from western women. But there's one thing you shouldn't do on a first date with Russian, Ukrainian, American and every other woman. We are talking about making sexual hints.

10-15 years ago, lots of men from western countries visited Ukraine and Russia to find not a bride, but a woman for one-night stand. Now, these women aren't looking for hookups, and that's why they shouldn't be viewed as sex objects. They want to find long-term partners, so act like one!

Don't escalate it before the third date. Moderate your expectations — you will most likely get a kiss after the first or second date, but nothing more. Sexual hints will not work if you want to find a mail order wife, that's all you have to know.

3. Don't talk about politics
If you travel to Ukraine, don't discuss politics. Ukraine is at war, and it's hard for the Ukrainian citizens to talk about it. It's a very, very complex and multilayered problem, so it wouldn't be wise for a foreigner to sort out all the details. By the way, it's a sad theme for Ukrainians, and as you probably know, talking on topics like that isn't the best thing you can do on the first date.

4. Remember that luxurious restaurants are not the best choice for the first date
The first date with a Ukrainian or Russian mail order bride has to be light and casual. Drink some coffee, walk in a park, explore the city together. Expensive restaurants will not work well at this stage, because you'll have to know each other better and to talk about everything. Luxurious restaurants are perfect for third and further dates, not for the first one.

• If you need something, don't be shy to ask people in the streets. Ukrainians are friendly and they'll try to help you. Well, Russians will most likely help you, too, but some of them are hostile to Americans, so be aware of it.
