There’s a common belief that Ukrainian women are gold diggers, often perpetuated by documentaries about Ukrainian brides on TV. However, having known Ukrainian, European, and American women, I think it’s important to compare their expectations in relationships. From my observations of couples in the USA and Europe, I’ve found that Western women tend to have higher expectations of their partners than Ukrainian women.
For instance, Western women may want luxuries like a swimming pool, multiple vacations a year, a fancy SUV, and a brand new kitchen. In contrast, Ukrainian women may have simpler expectations, such as visiting popular American cities like Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City, and going to Disneyland. When comparing the expectations of Ukrainian women and Western women, I’ve found that the latter’s expectations are consistently higher.
Moreover, Ukrainian women tend to maintain consistent expectations over time. For example, if their dream is to have one house and one car, it’s unlikely that they’ll suddenly want a castle and a BMW 20 years later. However, I’ve found that Western women may increase their expectations as the years go by. For instance, they may suddenly decide that they want a swimming pool or a Jacuzzi, even if they never valued their yard before, and they may not take no for an answer from their husband.
I believe that the media often portrays Western women as financially independent and not gold diggers, but this may not always be the case. In fact, I think that American women can be among the biggest gold diggers on earth, but they’re stealthy about it. Instead of being upfront about their expectations, they may wait for several years before imposing them on their partner. This could be because the media sells products and services to women through ads, creating the illusion of financial independence.
Don’t be discouraged by expectations of Ukrainian women
Alright, so check this out: Ukrainian women, they’re pretty upfront about what they’re after. Some might find it off-putting, but hey, at least it’s honest, right? I mean, it’s like the most upfront way to kick off a relationship.
Now, on the flip side, I’ve come across plenty of Westerners who play their cards close to the chest, waiting until they’ve got a bun in the oven to spill the beans about what they really want.
But here’s the thing: when you know what a Ukrainian woman’s aiming for, you can actually talk about it. And if it’s not exactly realistic, you can have a chat and lay out why it might not be feasible. This tends to happen more often with younger and less experienced women, but hey, it’s all part of the learning curve.
