Fact: This misconception comes from the fact that most of the Russian girls you see on Russiancupid.com or even on TV are well made up, wear glamorous clothes and always look very fancy and sophisticated. However, they are not always high maintenance, most Russian women simply like to look good. Men are often afraid of dating Russian girls because they think that the girls need their money to maintain expensive lifestyles. The truth is, their lifestyles are not expensive and they don’t need a man’s money to look as gorgeous as they do, most Russian ladies are just looking for real love and not money.
