The truth about Russian women

If a clever man (just like you!) is interested in getting a foreign bride and goes through multiple marriage agency websites or contacts some Russian (in our case) women on social networks, one big doubt might trouble him: why do all these women supposedly want to marry a foreign citizen? In fact, some men applying common sense would perceive it as something weird and even consider those women prostitutes. Marriage agencies and women in general perfectly understand all the awkwardness of this situation and they don`t want to be seen this way. They try to represent and advertise themselves as decent as possible. If you have already visited some marriage agency website, you might have noticed that there is almost always one large article titled like "why do Russian women want to marry foreign men" or something similar. There is usually a set of well known arguments in such articles and these "arguments" are myths. And even lies in some cases, if you will. I am going to prove it right now.
