Listen up: Russian girls are where it’s at. I’ve never known a man or woman walk out of a relationship with one — no matter how brief, torturous, or complicated — and say they regretted it. And that’s because they’re awesome. They’re not afraid to call you out on… well, anything you need calling out on, and they’ll make sure you check yourself because they’re into the whole honesty thing. Sure, they’re also tragically beautiful and flawless, not to mention excellent taste in fashion and art (and basically everything else), but they’re also smart, both book-wise and street-wise. 

Russian women get a bad reputation for the whole “mail order bride” business, but I’m here to shatter the misguided notion (sorry not sorry): Most Russian girls don’t actually sell themselves to American men for the money. For the most part, they marry humans they genuinely like, which brings me to my next point: You should absolutely consider yourself a lucky guy if you ever have a chance to chill with a girl from Russia. More likely than not, she’s fierce, fearless, and essentially your dream girl (that is, if you’re into strong women who challenge the patriarchal system and aren’t afraid of wearing a little bit of pleather). Here are 7 awesome reasons why you should date a Russian girl:

1. She’s got grit

Don’t expect her to let anyone walk all over her. Even if she just suspects you’re doubting her, or you’ve dissed her in the slightest, she’ll tell you what’s what. Sometimes this comes off as aggressive, but you should know that she’s been raised to question authority and probably mistrust just about everything and everyone. She’s a survivor through and through, and probably the best person to weather a mosh pit with.

2. She probably knows where the best Russian candy and snack hub is

Stick with a Russian girl long enough, and you’ll get to experience the pure bliss of Russian chocolates and treats (and Korovka, which is a clock of milky caramel and is everything dreams are made of). Chances are, she probably also knows the best place to get a plate of Golubtsy (stuffed cabbage rolls) and a slice of Medovik torte (YAASSSS).

3. She’s refreshingly straightforward

Russian gals don’t flirt around any issue, problem, or disagreement, because they don’t have time to tiptoe. While her ways of communicating may be “ruthless,” to her, she thinks of this as maximizing time to the fullest. And time is money. And money is those Louboutin shoes she saw at Nordstrom the other day, so move along please.

4. She’s super smart…

Hello? The Russian basically invented space travel and just try to find another writer besides Nabokov who can seamlessly craft a grammatically sound sentence that is over a page in length? (OK, fine, William Faulkner is a pretty remarkable wordsmith too. Fine, America, you can have that.) A Russian girl is raised to think and act and live independently. If she wants nice clothes, nice jewelry, and a nice bookshelf, she knows she’ll have to earn the money to buy those things herself, and that means going to school and getting a job and working hard until she gets dolla dolla bills.

5. Her parents will probably care more about you than your own family (seriously)

If you’ve ever won over the hearts of your Russian lady love and her family, they will probably love you forever, vigorously worry about you like it’s an Olympic sport, and feed you until you definitely need to loosen your belt. Unless you screw your Russian girl over, and then it’s end times for you, pal. Lord help your soul if you’ve ever angered a Russian girl’s family. 

6. She knows how to get down

Not all Russian ladies get turnt, and no, they don’t all love vodka. But they know how to have a good time and entertain. What “having a good time” and “entertaining” actually look like will vary from woman to woman because, duh, they’re all incredibly unique just like anyone else. That thing they’re Russian-ness makes them all have in common? However they personally like to have fun, and personally like to entertain, they’re amazing at it.

7. She’s a tireless hustler

Russian girls know how to work hard and party hard. And as much as I hate that tired phrase, Russian women probably created it. Because they are awesome and these reasons and more are why you should consider dating one.
