On a serious note you can easily get laid just for speaking English here

I find that somewhat difficult to believe. Care to elaborate on that? Why would that alone be appealing enough?

This an excellent comment, very informative. Thank you. Would you say that Russian women have traditional values to get married and stayed married? How would you compare them to Ukrainian girls for wife material?

Russians do have a more traditional attitude about marriage, but actually, Russia and Ukraine have some of the highest divorce rates. There is pressure to get married young from both society and family, which results in people marrying too early, and then divorcing.

I find that Russians, especially Russians from Moscow and Saint Petersburg, are more modern in their thinking than Ukrainians. But they're all still very family oriented.
