I am from Russia. And I'm surprised that such simple things, can cause so much admiration in the comments of women from the West.

He does not let you carry heavy things.

The love of my life was Russian. He was a brilliant mathematician, spoke flawless English, was so handsome & like most Russian men was very masculine but not macho. Russian culture is very patriarchal so gender roles are strongly adhered to & they're very homophobic. He used to put me to sleep at night tucking the covers tightly around me & singing Russian lullabies to me. He'd record love songs for me, especially Elvis Presley - our song was "It's Now or Never." He was very close with his family - Russians are much more family oriented than Americans. They are also far more respectful of their elders & wouldn't dream of warehousing them in nursing homes like Americans do. We were planning to spend the rest of our lives together & I was in the process of moving to Moscow when he had a sudden, completely unexpected heart attack & died just 3 days after we celebrated his 54th birthday. I was nearly suicidal with grief. It's been a year & 4 months and I still grieve constantly for him. I adored him.

I am a Russian guy and I live in Russia. It's a lie that we expect a girl to dress sexy for dates and bars. I do not support such, like many of our guys. And not everyone loves to drink, keep that in mind.

"No I'm not your friend" straight out of the friendzone

I'm dating a Russian man. He's very nice and caring. Best part is that he knows what he wants and he doesn't play games. Takes me to very nice places for dates. Buys me flowers every now and then. He's the best. Only problem: They are not really expressive of their emotions and love words! They assume you already know!! Haha!

The one thing I think is missing is the family aspect of the relationship. With my Russian fiance, his parents are very involved in our lives. They took me in like another daughter and treated me with love from the very beginning of our relationship. There was a lot of pressure to get married, and they want to be grandparents as soon as possible, because family is to important to them. I've been with my Russian fiance for 3 years, known him for 10. He moved to the US for about 15 years ago. Even growing up in American schools, most of these points definitely still apply to him. He isn't a fighter or a drinker, but if he has to fight, he will; if his dad wants to do shots, he will. His mother has taught me how to cook better, because he definitely appreciates a good meal, though he doesn't really expect it. He's very direct and doesn't like the bullshit of delaying to soften feelings. Oh, and the dressing up when gathering with other women, 100%. I was going to wear jeans and a nice shirt to his mom's birthday party, and he asked me if I was going to change, and said all the women will be super dressed up. And they were, formal dresses, sparkling jewelry, heels, everything, just to hang out at their house. Very different from American culture, but I love Russian culture and my Russian family so much.

I have a Russian man and I LOVE the way he treats me. Really does feel like old school love. He bought me flowers on the first two dates and my jaw dropped!

LOL. 1:47-1:48. "Do I look like your friend?" Damn, masculinity at its finest. I like a guy that is direct about his intentions with you.

I think I want a Russian boyfriend and I'm a straight male.

My husband is Russian and whilst some of these things don't ring true for him (like expecting me to dress up sexy) I have to say my husband is very protective and romantic. The whole mindset is like going back in time, he really treats me well . I've never experienced that with Western men

I'm russian, and my heart just melted, after all of the comments. Big love for ya, girls

I'm buying a whole plane to go to Russia now, anyone wanna join me? Edit Holy shit, I literally forgot about this comment 😂😂😂

My boyfriend is Russian and he's everything. He's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen in my life. I feel like I’m looking at a movie star with him. 🤩 This video is very accurate. Actually we met online as language partners, so we are very long distance. He takes control in every situation everywhere, he likes to do the talking, lead, carry every bag, open every door. Very gentlemanly. He doesn’t care about dressing sexy or high heels though. Actually he prefers that I am not as appearance obsessed as some Russian girls, and that I can go out without makeup. He doesn’t try to control what I wear which I appreciate. He's not a big drinker. But he is VERY protective, possessive and a bit jealous. He also loooovveessss a home cooked meal but he’s not as extreme as this video and doesn’t mind some fast food or pizza occasionally. I see some comments about Russians being cold. Girl No. They’re men on the outside, stoic and in control but on the inside they’re teddy bears. My Russian is super affectionate. Loves to cuddle, and call me every cute petname in the book: solnyshko, malyshka, lyubimaya, bulochka, sladkaya zhopa.))) Я люблю вас, русские мужчины. Вы просто замечательные, красавчики, мужики, особенно мой парень. Он просто мечта.)) We've been together for 6 months, and I'm moving in with him in a week. Bridging the distance, I'm so excited to be with him again. 🥰 Edit: 8 Months! He's still the most amazing, such a sweetie and cooks and takes good care of me when I'm sick! ❤ Such husband material. I met his mom. She's so sweet and loves me already. Edit 2: He proposed! 💍❤ He’s the best, language barrier getting easier with time. Was definitely a challenge in the beginning!!! Edit 3: Married for 5 months. He’s an amazing husband too! 🥰

Literally the self-esteem of every Russian guy after reading the comments: *stocks 📈*

God this is so accurate! Especially the part about gifts....my Russian friend (who I later discovered had feelings for me) bought me a ruby necklace during our very first meeting. (He was an online friend). I was overwhelmed by his kindness.

They love bringing you flowers and little presents. They LOVE it when you wear skirts/dresses and heels. They don't like it when women curse. They open every door for you. They don't let you carry bags/anything heavy. They feel insulted if you try to pay.

The elevator scene 😂💀

Russian accents make me weak in the knees oh my 🥰 it’s like assertive and strong but then they roll that r and I melt

I am a girl from Turkey and my bf is from Russia. I feel like I found my significant other. We have a very serious and a committed relationship. He is not a person to drink alcohol that much as it is shown and he also doesn't like when I wear such very showing clothes still he is not a person to criticize my clothes in general. I really feel like our family and life values are actually so much similar. Russia may seem far but when it comes to the culture and the family life we have a lot in common. I feel so happy with him, he is a very affectionate and passinonate man. And when they love someone they are really into the relationship and they take it seriously. Love you a lot my miracle, my Alyosha

I want a Russain boyfriend so bad! Am I the only one who finds Russian accents attractive?

You know you are dating a russian man when he said that his name is Boris.

I am so happy to have a Russian boyfriend. He is the most amazing person I have ever met in my life. I can’t imagine a single day without him, he makes me laugh and smile so much with his kindness and protectiveness. Russian men are definitely the way to go.

I want to say this to all the women on this planet. Most russian guys don't care what race you are, what skin color you are and what country you are from, it doesn't matter to them, they just want a girl who they love and that she reciprocate and believe me if he loves you he will be with you to the end.

My husband was born in Soviet Union, he makes me incredibly happy. He is not the first russian man I dated, trust me ladies, if you are strong and independent, Russian men is the way to go (and viceversa). They know how to handle strong women, they will fight for you, protect you, and will empower you.

They don't make men like this in the USA. I would love to find a Russian man. I love old fashioned and traditional gentlemen.

in the USA for more than 25 years I had many russian male friends and they all impressed me with their fealess attitude and loyalty to their friends and family...great people

I am currently dating a Russian guy and I can definitely say he is the best man I have ever seen in this world ( not just because he is my boyfriend lol) he is so caring, supportive, kind and contrary to my expectations he does not like drinking! when I am with him, I really feel like I am in those old romance movies where everything is perfect 😍 🤩

Apparently russian men have exactly what I am looking for in a relationship 😂

I'm a Russian, it may be true, but I'm not expecting from a woman that she should always cook for me, because well, I like to cook too 🙈

As someone that was in a relationship with a Russian man, I can confirm. Honestly the best dating experience ever.

When I met my boyfriend, I was literally speechless when we first talked on the phone because he was already planning our future and telling me God brought us together.. I wasn't prepared for that.. wow 🤣 These men DO NOT mess around! If you have to question if a Russian man wants you - he definitely doesn't.

I know some Russian guys. They are really gentlemen and manly. Didn't regret to date one.

I once dated a Russian guy and he almost got into a fight with a guy for bumping into me.

As a Russian man- this describes my romance life with about 90% accuracy.

once i met a russian guy, and now i want to return it russian people are a bit cold and rude, but they are very kind, fair and selfless, omg perfect human being

I'm Hispanic and am with my Russian husband for 20 years and we have two daughters together. I love that he is the man and is very confident.

off to Russia we go ladies

I *married* a Russian man and I've seen or experienced all these things either while dating or in marriage, though not always directly from him but from my observations of his Russian friends and family. I'm an (Americanized) Latina and lots of those "traditional" gender role and expectations aren't foreign to me.

Dang didn’t know Russian men were so attractive

I am Turkish and my boyfriend is Russian. He's such an amazing person. He warms my heart. The video is an accurate representation of my experience- except for one part- he would never ask me to dress slutty if there'll be people around. He dislikes that.

I'm German and my boyfriend is half Russian half Irish. When he paid all the time for my food I was feeling absolutely awful because in German culture it would look like I'm "just with him for the money" and even my parents told me how mean and abusing I am for "letting him pay all the time". But for him it's just a part of being a gentleman. I came to accept is as a sign for affection. Also the love goes through the stomach thing is true, when I met his russian grandparents they invited themselves in to our place to test my cooking (probably to see if I'm worth dating their grandson). I was standing in the kitchen for 3h making the best food I knew from scratch. I succeeded 😂

I hope one day I marry a Russian man. I am latina and I just love how much of a gentleman they are.

I'm an italian women so automatically after I finished this video, I went up like "Seems like it's time to learn some russian and meet a cute handsome russian guy"

I’m moving my tinder Location to Russia!!

Я немка и люблю русский язык и акцент. Потому это я учу. Это мой первый коментарий по-русски.

It's 2 a.m and just found out that all I need in life is a Russian husband

Been dating a Russian guy, I was still surprised what happened on our first n second date. Yes he paid the resto bills etc. Also he would not let me carry heavy bag, so he would carry it for me. Awww n The way he treated me like a queen, such as open the car door for me n held my hand when I got out of the car, it was a new experience I felt awkward that time, but it's all about the small things that make me beyond happy.

Being an American girl dating a Russian, I can say these things are true. He grew up in Russia but moved to the US where I met him & he is by far the best person I know. I dated a lot of American guys before him and they are all nothing compared to him. So ladies pay attention, go out and meet some Russian guys, and I promise you'll think to yourself "Why haven't I done this sooner?!"

I have been dating my boyfriend who is Russian for over a year now and I can vouch for this video 100%. Its funny how accurate it is especially about how they like men being manly and women being feminine. As long as he keeps complimenting my cooking, I'll keep his belly full

From a Greek who has had many relationships of all kinds with Russian people. I must confirm they're literally like that and there's more to it. They're very courteous,generous, straightforward, protective and religious.

Omg! Spot on! Im laughing so much cus my boyfriend behaved the same way when we first started dating like on this video! I remember when I offered to pay the tab on our first date (Just to be nice and not assume anything, cus yea us ladies do that! We test you!) and he just stared at me all serious and said "Youre insulting me" hahaha. Im Mexican and our cultures are very similar. I enjoy our relationship very much and to be honest I understand now why all my ex's sucked!, there is no comparison!! Aqui yo me quedo por vida! lol

For 6 years ago I was dating a Russian guy. He was very handsome and he did exactly the same things you showed in your video. He was very generous and treated me like princess 😍 I'm still very sad that I broke up with him. I really love Russian people.

I have an imaginary Russian boyfriend

Started dating a russian man a week ago, and damn boy! Hes fucking sweet and nice. Couldn't be happier. Didn't expect I'll see myself smiling just thinking how good looking russians are 💙💙

I want to marry a Russian man

my husband is Russian. I agree with almost everything , apart that he actually likes cooking . Russian are the best!

I see that Polish and Russians... maybe this is stereotype... but still. We seems to be very simmilar :D :P Maybe slavic origin determinate our habits :P

I am a Russian. I am dating a Russian man. He cooks. I don't. Welcome to the 21st century.

This is informative. I think I'm currently dating a Russian man from Murmansk. And, he has told me that he is my protector. I hope it keeps going.

Where can I get one? 😂😍

Hm...I am a Russian man (but living in the USA now:-)), and i can tell you, that this video is pretty accurate. Of course, this vodka scene is exaggerated (it`s taking from a very low-class life style), and usually, Russian man even more romantic, open minded, and active when dating) . For example-i always open the door for the woman, give my hand to help she leave a car, and so on)

I had an English girlfriend, and she was always surprised when I carried her bags, opened the door for her and paid her bill on our first date. I think it's true

Very interesting, but there is one inaccuracy. Usually, we don’t drink alcohol without a snack. Whether it’s vegetables (fresh or greasy), small pieces of meat, sea food or bread, cause you get drunk faster and it affects the digestive system worse. In addition, alcohol has a large water-taking capacity, so to prevent this, and at the same time to maintain the balance of vitamins in the body, while drinking strong alcohol, we sometimes drink various fruit juices. If drinks vodka, whiskey, etc. without a snack, then we drink it with juice, without carbonated drinks, which for the most part are more likely to harm the stomach.

A gentleman who is protective of you and doesn’t play games. Bye New Zealand, off to Russia I go 😂😂 frfr jk

LOL so accurate with my Russian man. He was born in 1990 in the Soviet Union and when it fell he came to the US. He has a lot of American traits, but still holds tradition like being protective, loves it when I dress up and he LOVES my cooking. Once you go Russian there ain't no repercussion!

It's sad that the chivalry that Russian men preserved on their behavior turned something rare in other countries. Wish I could see more of that. ❤️

I've watched this a million times! God knows I need this old-fashioned chivalry 😍

All perfectly right, but the thing with "he doesnt let you carry heavy things" is more like " he doesnt let you carry any things" Good video :)

I married a Russian and been together for 15 years now. By the way I'm Korean-american.

Currently dating a Russian man. Can confirm this. Wish me luck so we can be in relationship

I’m dating a Russian man and this is 100% correct! 😍😍😍

Im Latina (dark hair & olive skin) and A few days ago I was at Walmart with my older brother doing grocery shopping (the usual haha) when all of a sudden two blonde men with light brown hair with green eyes from a distance where conversing and stopped midway and both stared at me in shock but with smirks and went near me and started talking then tapped me & smiled and called me beautiful in the cutest English with a strong accent haha :,) !!! This WAS THE FIRST TIME MEETING A RUSSIAN it was cool to me and them thinking I was so beautiful was weird to me but so sweet 😂I thought they were American tbh but my brother said they were speaking Russian and yea I was shocked by their charm & forwardness, i DONT know why I thought they would be colder but I guess they are Romantic & confident 😍😭

Одной из причин, по которой я выучила русский язык, было то, что их характер очень близок нашему (я болгарка). И я действительно чувствую себя как дома, когда я с русскими. С любовью из Болгарии🇧🇬🇷🇺

I stole a FedEx plane and I’m flying to Russia tonight. Anyone wanna snag some Russian husbands w me?

my current crush is Russian, he's living in Bali... we had a 3rd date last week. He always pay our bills at the resto... OMG he is so romantic, but SHY at the same time, we kissed and hugs a lot... polite as well... the thing that i liked is.. he control to not having sex eventho I already in his room 2 times... wow, amazing

Not everything true - not all russians drink a lot, and not everyone cares about how u looks like, especially when u meet friends. Im Russian, and most of my friends and i dont like alcohol, but most of other stuff here - facts)

You have Russian boyfriend when he makes you always gifts 😂❤️without a reason or gives you flowers.. they treat their woman like the best in the world. And Russian guys are VERY handsome too and they have a good sense of style👌🏻

Also one important thing you forgot, russian men can do everything in the house, fix and repair all the problems inside the house. They r men with gold hands.

This is surprisingly acurate. Thank you for this. Most people get the information wrong and makes us look bad

The fact that Russian men are Alpha Males is such a turn on 😍

OMG can we talk about how hot that guy is ?? I mean when he took charge in the restaurant and ordered for her ... that's so hot ! Love an Alfa male !

I'm engaged to a Russian man, its all mostly true except he does not drink and doesn't expect me to be dressed up always.

Yes! I’m American Asian mixed and I love my Russian boyfriend ! We want to get married :) it’s so refreshing to be taken seriously and he’s so protective of me. He’s my dream guy 💕

its true about every russian man,who is not a gopnik

It's true I am black from Africa and I am dating a Russian man, they are so straight and very open

I am dating a Russian man and he is the love of my life.. I adore him with all of my heart. This video was so cute, hilarious and so accurate!!😘🇺🇲🇷🇺🤭❤

I have a Russian boyfriend that’s exactly how he is so funny 😆 I love him so much he treats me like a Queen 👸🏻 always brings you the most elaborate gifts 🎁 like teddy Bears 🧸 as big as you!!!!lol 😂

I was dating a Russian man for 4 weeks and he was already bringing up marriage. Very direct indeed

A few remarks from russian guy would be good? Whatever, I'm doing it. 1) Russian men are super direct. Kinda true. We're not really good in this emotional plays and if we want something we most likely take direct approach. Its faster and fairer, you know? There are exeptions though, some of us really shy. 2) Russian men are assertive. Well, i dont feel like this is true. We can listen to opinions of other. We are most likely to ignore it, but we listen sometimes. Really... 3 and 6)Picking up the tab and protecting women. True, for whatever reason. I think we're overprotective really, and focused to make anyone around us a little safer. That includes tabs, but not limits only to women. Even calm russian guy can put up a fight for a girl or a friend. When we see something off we just lose our shit and any common sense, for the better or worse. 4) We expect a girl to dress up. I dont feel like that one is true. Well, it is important to be beautiful, but it is unnecessary to dress up like on a dance or a party. A casual outfit that looks good on you is good enough. 5) Drinking. Depends. Some just hate it, cause it makes you even less reasonable, some drinking just beacause "why not?" But if a guy is drinking, make sure you have enough of booze to make him drunk, and make someone will carry him away when he does. 7) Way to heart and traditions. True. We really love to eat. And eat good. Especially food made for us by our loved ones. And traditionalism is kinda true. Its really just odd for us if a girl cant make a borshch (thats a soup). Though last years made that just kinda true. A lot of russian girls now dont know how to hold a frying pan or for what it is used, so we are a decent cooks on our own, and can help or even cook ourselves. You can taste our babushkas most delicious pirozhkis now ;) Thats it from my perspective.

I always had a crush on Russian men! Now I'm waiting for my handsome Russian husband! 😭😂

English girl dating Russian guy here; this is SO true :) thank u for this video, made me laugh sm

Russian men sound like a dream.😍❤️

I am Italian, husband is Ukrainian but the video worths for him too. They are the best men on the planet, assertive, strong , manly! Yeah! But he doesn't force me to cook, actually I like to cook for him. And he doesn't drink so much (only on celebrations, but I have never seen him drunken).

Reading all these comments about people sharing their experiences with a Russian man/men is making me want a Russian hubby now 😙😙

I’m married to a Russian and this video is pretty spot on. From the flowers to the spoiling. Russian men are no bs and I love it

I have dated a Russian man, I'm engaged to one now and I'm moving back to Moscow Russia with him, that's where him and I both are from. Dating a Russian period is hands down the best experience

The second one is so true! They buy flowers for their women for no reason. I know someone whose Russian husband always does that and it’s not only him, her father-in-law does that to her mother-in-law too!

That "what do I look like your friend!" moment sent chills down my spine. And I kinda almost got pregnant from his tone. Even the lady got nervous.🤣😌

Wow! Isn't that a real man. Handsome (I love blondes and blue eyes ) assertive, knows what they want. Traditional. They are perfect! They are a volcano under their icy appearance.
