Girls, girls, girls

Russian women, now that is a chapter of its own. Really something to write home about.
They seem very spirited, very confident, they have an air, an attitude maybe.
The ones I see here don't walk but almost stride. They seem tough, like they know what they want and how to get it. Yet there is also a vulnerable side to them which comes out when they deal with guys that they are close to.
It strikes me that young women, even young girls, here pay great attention to their appearance. And a great many are stunningly beautiful. Not head-turners but the neck-breaking type! Very fit, slim, lean, with - as it seems - unending, slender legs and big, bright eyes. They just don't come in "fat", it seems. Some, especially older women, may get a bit plump or chubby but you rarely see any fat people.
What's more, they seem to love to dress in the tightest clothes they can get their hands on. It doesn't leave much to imagination sometimes but they have the killer figure to back it up. They don't only dress to impress, they dress to tease! Actually, I had the impression that when they catch you looking they even put a little more sway in their hips or bounce in their step. And that bounce is so hypnotic. It's hard to find somewhere else to look. Especially, when so many beauties choose the parks I visit for sight-seeing to sunbathe in the tiniest bikinis or even topless. I may have come here for the culture and sights but I end up looking completely the other way. I admit it - I am weak. So, sue me! I understand better now why some guys fantasise so much much about Russian women.
I heard they dress up like that, work on their appearance that much because there's a lot of competition. Good jobs can depend a great deal more on appearance here, my source tells me.
The final amazing thing is that they manage to wear the shortest skirts I've ever seen, squeeze themselves into some of the tightest outfits available without looking cheap. Some people may beg to differ but I'll maintain they have a style. Maybe it's in the way the carry themselves, the way they wear the stuff - it's sexy, very sexy, it catches the eye and arrests the attention (let alone the weak heart!) but it's not cheap. It's not the clothes that make them look good (a technique they tried vainly in UK), it's them that make the outfits look hot!

On the other hand, Russian men have to work hard for such partners. Every evening I see endless couples going for a stroll, she holding his hand and in the other hand a flower - or an entire bunch of them. Again, I am told this has tradition: a man has to buy his girlfriend flower, maybe every evening. There does seem to be a great regularity here. Makes me wonder where they take the money from. Yeah, where do we take the money from to afford girlfriends?! I guess, they know it'll be worth it.
