Charodei, for one.

Don't tell me these ladies don't exist, DW is one of them.

I know plenty of them both locally and in Russia and Ukraine.

You're probably seeing the cream of the crop, so to speak. Like anywhere, there are also a lot of Russian women living hard lives who look 50 when they're 35.

American women want to be free to be like men! That is why American women are not feminine. This is not my personal opinion, but the opinion of the rest of the WORLD!

One is born pretty or not, both enhanced with the right make up and clothes.

When I lived in Europe, the average woman walking about the street was definitely better-looking than the average woman on the streets of America.

Again, just an observation.

Fall of fashion in America? Blame obesity, car culture (no walking needed, no exposure), and the general destruction of social etiquette and grace.

Have you been to Russia? Until you have been there, you really can't say!

Obviously, you haven't spent a lot of time in Eastern Europe.

It depends where in Russia...also depends on the financial status and whether or not they drink.

LOL. I know. I was just joking because they almost ALL seem to be quite attractive. Totally unlike many America women. Well, at least where I live, the majority of women seem to be in somewhat good shape physically. Not so many fat/obese people.
