Culture plays a big part in dating. It's easy to understand that people might not work out because of cultural differences.

When it comes to Slavic women, their culture is very different from the "traditional" western culture. So will you be a good match for a Slavic woman? Keep reading to find learn some of the traits that Ukrainian and other Slavic women are looking for in a man.

Be a Gentleman

This might seem like it's common sense when trying to impress a woman, and it actually isn't. Women from Slavic countries generally have a pretty traditional upbringing. When it comes to gender roles, they are still pretty strictly followed. With that being said, an Eastern European woman will expect you to act like 'the man'. This includes opening doors, paying for dinner, and being overall chivalrous.

Be Assertive

You might've heard the rumor that Slavic women are cold. This couldn't be further from the truth. Most times, Slavic women are very warm and inviting, but Eastern European culture is less interpersonal than western culture.

Small talk is not popular in Eastern European culture, so if you are interested in a woman simply be straightforward. At the same time, you don't want to be too straightforward and come off as an asshole. It's all about finding the balance.

Honestly is the Best Policy

As we said, small talk is not popular within Slavic culture. People from Eastern Europe are generally pretty direct in their speech. If you want to keep her attention you have to be honest. Tell her exactly what you think, without being crass and she will do the same for you. Honesty should be important in any relationship, but with Slavic women, you don't have to sugar coat your truth.

Intelligence

Slavic countries have some of the highest literacy rates. For example, Russia has a literacy rate of 99.6% for women. These counties have high rates of female higher education as well. According to the Borgen Project, a nonprofit that targets poverty and hunger and Russia, women in the country make up 16% of scientific researchers compared to a worldwide 29%.

Eastern European women are intelligent and the younger generations are emphasizing education even more now. If you think you will be a good match for a Slavic woman it's important to know that she would like someone who can engage in good conversation that can impress her with their intellect. This doesn't mean you have to be a scientist, she'll just enjoy being challenged in good conversation.

Respect

If you think you'll be a good match with a Slavic woman, you must treat her with respect. Not just in the general ways of respect that you would think of. She wants you to notice her work ethic and the things that she does for you. Be respectful of her culture and her beliefs, even if you don't have a similar upbringing, it's important that you can appreciate her views.
