Surprisingly, more than 50% of Russian women are open to international dating. While they would have romantic interactions with people from different countries, big percentages are excited about the prospect of getting out of Russia. 

This poll was conducted to get a better understanding of what Russian women thought about dating people from other countries. The statistics are actually pretty interesting and surprising.

Statistics on Russia women dating

For starters, 57% of the under 35 age group said that they would start dating someone foreign right now, while the 18-23 age group has 78% that would date one. In addition, 12% have already had romantic relationships with them and around 58% of those actually started at the 2018 World Cup.

The biggest reason for that is because there were so many people from out of the country attending it. While there are quite a few visitors to Russia every year, the World Cup brought many more people than usual. 

What are Russian women looking for when dating foreigners?

When looking at the results for what these women found attractive about foreigners, you'll be surprised by the answers. 67% of the women actually said that they were most attracted to being able to marry and leave Russia, while 26% were actually attracted to the way foreigners look and how open they are.

The final 7% just wanted to experience something they usually don't. It's a little surprising that the majority of the women use getting out of the country as their first response and only a small percent actually look at the person for who they are. 

They also looked at the locations where the women were. For example, women from Saransk, Sochi, and Moscow were the ones that have the most romantic interactions with foreign people during the 2018 World Cup.

If you remember the media and everything surrounding the World Cup, you'll remember how much attention was paid to the idea of Russian women dating people from other countries.

What does the society says about this?

This publicity wasn't always good and some media companies said some pretty nasty things. These companies got the attention form a lot of people, including politicians. Some of the articles about the situation also got the attention of many citizens. Some of the ones that post online ended up getting thousands of reads, likes, and shares! 

In addition to calling Russian women names, they also talked about the need for Russian men and Russian women to have children together. They talked about how the children suffer and are left at home with their mothers all day if the father wasn't Russian.

They also feared that this would make them lazy and they wouldn't want to work. There are some Russian politicians that are on the other side of things. They believe that children born from loving relationships is great, regardless of where the parents are from. They also wanted to make sure that everyone knew that they were excited to have people of different colours, races, and backgrounds at the World Cup. They didn't want people to read the negative publicity and decide that they weren't welcome! 

As you can see, there are actually quite a few Russian women who are interested in dating foreigners and being intimately involved with them. The entire situation has been a debate since the World Cup and, as always, there are people on both sides!

There are always going to be some people who don't like people from other countries, for whatever reason, but the important things is that there are a lot of people from Russia that are willing to accept everyone and some they think it's fine for the women to marry foreigners because love is love!
