I don't think marriage is an obligation for russian women. Of course the majority of them think so, as you see in voting.
As for me, if a man is responsible for his life, financially independent, welcome, I can only greet such relationships. With a stipulation we are of the same intellectual level or his one is higher. More of it, he deserves more respect from me, he will become a person of my interest and my hobby 😉 Like any hobby I'll miss you...

The question is whether me or he leaves for another country, who is an accepting side.
If a man comes to my country he needs time to find job etc. I must be ready to support him without humiliating. Do you agree?
Are you, men, ready to give these conditions to your beloved one?
"In Europe many couples live together without being married."
Surely with european woman it's much easier - she lives in her country, has job, friends etc. Isn't it a tale men dream of?
Or you dream of a FAIRY TALE? Then you need to invest and patience. Do you agree?
