I was now back to square one. That is: tired of wasting my time on the local dating scene, I discovered the world of Russian Brides dating. The initial excitement of seeing so many websites displaying so many beautiful young women soon cooled down as the question arose: is it for real or is it scamming?

So the question was: why would these beautiful, well educated young women seek a husband from outside Russia? Here in Canada, they would have no problem at finding a good husband – well, I wish there were such women on our local dating websites but it was not the case.
One way to get these answers was to read about Russia and I did. I spent hours reading about the Russian culture, history, politics, lifestyle etc and one aspect retained my attention a lot: demography. According to the last census, there were approximately 10 Million more women than men in Russia and former USSR. That by itself explained a lot about the phenomenon of Russian brides dating.
Another aspect that got my attention was that according to all the articles I was reading, Russian women generally still hold the family values that have been mostly lost in my part of the world. For most of them, the priority remained to create a strong family and keep this family as a life priority.
It all began to be even more interesting. Because over here, beautiful, well educated single women generally have other life priorities than finding a husband to keep. Their priority is mostly centered around their career and to be independent – that is to never depend on a man. It may sound harsh, but it is the reality – and not only in Canada but in most “western countries”.
The more I was reading about Russia, the more I wanted to know. I spent most of my free time reading all kind of articles and news on different websites and I was getting ready to begin my search for a future Russian wife.
