What do Ukrainian women like about foreign men so much?
We often hear this question. To help us answer it we have asked one of our men-colleagues and a couple of women to have a better picture.
Alexander. I think that some of Ukrainian women like foreigners just because they do not like Ukrainian men, who, as they think, have only negative qualities. Some of Ukrainian girls like foreign men because they do not like Ukraine and they want to immigrate or think that all foreigners are financially safer than Ukrainian men are. One of the girls who I asked the same question said that only foreign men could admire a woman sincerely without expecting anything from her. And they can do it for quite a long time. She also added that Ukrainian men are “imprisoned” by an idea that women will betray them; therefore, they do not want to waste their resources. So, when a Ukrainian man does or says something nice, he seems to imply, and sometimes even ask directly: “What will I get in return? Will we have sex?” etc., which is quite opposite to behavior Ukrainian women expect from men.
Alina. Some of Ukrainian women find almost everything that is connected with abroad exciting: wow, he studies abroad (even if it is a usual school); wow, he lives abroad (even if he does not have a decent job); wow, one of my friends is going out with a foreigner (even if they argue ten times a day). Still, there is a number of reasons, which make Ukrainian women appreciate foreign men.
To begin with, foreigners also like Ukrainian girls. Being gentler than other European women they are many-sided and interesting personalities, which attracts foreign men; while Ukrainian men see these qualities as routine and do not admire them. Therefore, it is quite natural that a woman will like some special attention and reciprocate.
Speaking of personal qualities, I have to say that Ukrainian men tend to control everything: they like telling women what to buy, what to do in their free time, what to wear, how to look. They seem to have an image of an ideal woman, who they want their girlfriend to be. While foreign men respect personal space and choice, they do not strive to be dictators in relationship.
Money also plays its part. Abroad, especially in Europe, the middle class is more developed; therefore, people take the money issues easier. Even despite stereotypes, I have noticed that foreigners are less mean than Ukrainian men.
Well, we also like travelling abroad since we get new experience and new emotions. Relationship with a foreigner is similar to this: you discover something new every day.
Irina. Ukrainian women are not the only ones who like foreigners. Generally, people from different countries attract each other genetically. The farther from each other you were born the bigger is your genetic diversity, which is good for the next generations. You and your brain do not understand it, while your subconsciousness does.
It is often more interesting to spend time with a foreign man, at least in the beginning of relationship, since he has absolutely different experience in any sphere of life. And vice versa, foreign men also want to know Ukrainian women through their culture and they shower their girlfriends with questions, which is really nice.
Frankly speaking, foreigners often look better than Ukrainian men.
Finally, the desire to obtain a better material position (especially when we speak of Western men) is what makes some girls want a foreign boyfriend. Moreover, it is thought that foreign men have more serious intentions than Ukrainian ones. All in all, if they were not ready to create a family, they would look for someone closer to them and would not fly to a different part of the world.
