Some people say that traditions in Russia are more important than their russian dating habits. Learning the traditional roles of men and women in Russia is an essential process if you are about to enter a relationship with a Russian lady. In traditional Russia, men provided for the women. The women tended to the family, such as raising the children, cooking and cleaning.

Women are now able to live on their own, are more educated and independent. In a modern Russian marriage, generally both men and women work, yet the wife still cooks, cleans and tends to the children. Russian men conventionally have seen themselves as superior to women. Historically in Russian families, women were expected to serve their men, take care of the children, and perform all household chores.

Customarily, Russian women put up with this attitude and pride themselves on their hard work and the ability to care for their men and children. They are strong, caring, and hardworking women who also like to be feminine and attractive. Traditional women in Russia want to marry quickly, as single women are often looked down on and pitied. The Russian culture still thrives on male chivalry. Men should hold doors, help the women in and out of cars and offer to carry heavy things. Russian women love this exhibit of manners and will appreciate any charm shown to them. This chivalry extends to men asking women out on dates and paying for any entertainment on a date.
