American men that are looking for a wife and can't find one on their own are leaning on dating sites like

single Russian women (loversplante.com).  This may work for some, but the American men better be willing to face the reality that the culture of Russia is totally different than the culture in America.  The Russians tend to be far more focused on getting what they want, they will push their way into line, be truly outspoken as to what they want and truly upset if they don't get what they want.  It is a matter of being in a culture that has a history of standing in line for everything from bread to new cars.  If they want something they had better be willing to "fight" for it or lose their place in line, there are thousands of people that want what ever is available and are willing to "fight" to get it.

Dealing with Russians was a real eye opening experience for me, the first encounter was pretty rough until it was pointed out why they were so "pushy".  After that was made clear and I took the time to get to know some of the people I was working with I realized that they are fabulous people, just from a different culture.
