The kind of Russian women who look for husbands abroad these days are intelligent, well-educated and sophisticated. They want to marry Western men because they feel that such men are often more suitable for them.

From the perspective of a Russian woman, a Western husband would treat her like the equal she is. He would respect her opinion, share responsibility for child rearing, and do his part of the domestic chores. He would drink in moderation, avoid chasing other women, and be responsible about financial matters.

Some women want to have careers, some want to be homemakers, but in both cases having the choice is important. For a married woman in Russia, that choice is rarely possible. A Russian physician earns a salary of one hundred dollars per month, which is the same as the cost of an internet account in St. Petersburg. Western salaries, however, are much higher relative to expenses, so that a Russian woman who marries a Western man can expect to have either much more spending power herself, and therefore a better quality of life, or to be free to stay home and raise the kids.

Russian women may believe that Western men are all urbane and sophisticated professionals. Few women in Russia can afford to travel to the West, so the only Western men they meet are those who travel to Russia. Such men tend to have decent amounts of money or good incomes, and to be well-versed in proper behaviour. In Russia, a woman can register in person at a dating service that has an online presence in the West and can help her meet the Western man of her dreams.

People are the same the world over, and women from Russia are no different. They want to be loved, they want to be comfortable in their relationship, and they want to have both emotional and financial security. Such things may be more available in the West. In Russian culture, the age at which a woman marries can be incompatible with finishing college first, while Western men are accustomed to women getting married after they graduate.

It is well-known that one of the best ways to reduce the years of time spent on an immigration waiting list is to marry someone from the country you're moving to, yet this need not mean a marriage of convenience that ends as soon as residency papers are obtained. Today, Russian women looking for marriage abroad are seeking long-term relationships in which they can raise children in a stable environment.

In the end, however, Russian women have their own personal preferences too, and some of them just may prefer Western men.
