Ok Here’s the Deal..
Women’s Day for Russian Women…
Is like Super bowl Sunday for American Men..
It’s a very serious deal in Russia and the FSU.
Gifts, Roses, Dining Out and Men doing special favors (like cleaning the house and cooking) for the women they are close to is part of the package..
Here’s something that will give you more of an idea on how big this day is.
Perhaps the busiest day of the Year for Restaurants, Clubs, Taxi Drivers, and Flower-shops is on March 8th. Much more so then Valentines Day or Mother’s Day in my opinion.
Traffic is completely jammed like Christmas Eve for last minute shopping runs.
But keep in mind that the most important thing you can do for any Russian Lady is to congratulate her on her special day and to do something which completely shows your appreciation and also validates her for the traditional woman that she is.
For example, I already have my personal “battle plan” drawn up for the things I need to do for my sweetheart and her family. And even-though March 8th is a public holiday I’m still going to have to get an early morning start in order to finish out my ‘to do” and my “to get” list for this event.
Anyways.. you should get the point and if you know any Russian Women MAKE SURE you tell them “Congratulations” and if necessary follow up with some serious shmoozing action on your part.
What ever energy you put into this will be well rewarded I assure you.
Also check out the other Russian Women blogs in my links page to get some good additional descriptions on this important tradition.
Finally to all the Russian Women that I personally know who read this blog..
Please accept my warmest wishes for you on your special day. Your presence has shaped my life in amazing and unimaginable ways.
And for this I am eternally gratefull.Sprazkneecom & Cheers, GL

GL I would be interested to see your “to do” “to get” lists when the day is done, and a complete description of her eyes when she sees what you have done.
..and to our friend Natalie and other ladies reading this I wish you a wonderful day filled with surprises, but most of all filled with appreciation for who you are.

A happy women’s day to all the women reading this. Even those of you who don’t like me.
March 8, 2007 at 10:50 am
Thank you for the sage advice as USUAL GL.

As for me, I’ll save the congratulations only for those women in my inner circle. That would be my wife, my daughters, my mom (RIP), and my mother-in-law.
March 8, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Why don’t we celebrate women’s day here in the U.S.? Oh yeah, EVERY day is women’s day here. :angry:
March 8, 2007 at 10:00 pm
I’m a little lost, here. “Congratulations” on… what, exactly?
March 8, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Congratulations for getting herself a great American boyfriend, of course.
March 8, 2007 at 10:25 pm
To quote Peregrine John: “Congratulations” on… what, exactly? What? is right. Having been born with a vagina? Hah! In the U.S., U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Canada, the bratty, disloyal, greedy, profane children you call ‘women’ already lay claim to every undeserved perk and privilege imaginable, most at the expense of good, hard-working, quality men. This shameful injustice is what governments of those nations call ‘fair and equitable.’ ‘International women’s day’ is a relatively new invention, no doubt dreamed up by a small cadre of misanthropes, hell-bent on demolishing every last vestige of the healty, two-parent family, and replacing it with single moms (by way of their own foolish, selfish choices), dysfunctional children (a given when there is no father in the home) and Big Sister government running the whole show — controlling the very souls of the women who cluelessly have her control — and effectively handicapping the men who could (and would) otherwise take her down, as should be.
If there’s going to be such a self-indulgent observation as ‘International women’s day’ it should be celebrated with the woman doing that which equals her truest fulfillment — being a good wife, first and foremost — and being a good mother, should her husband have seen fit and proper to bless her with his seed. By embracing her God-ordained design — to be Helpmate to her husband, Caretaker of the home, and Nuturer to the children, she honors her responsibilities to her Master and Creator, leaving her husband free to honor his responsibilities — to be Leader, Provider and Protector. This is a TRUE woman.
Any ‘International Men’s Day’ on the agenda?
Thought not… That’s the true face of ‘feminist equality.’ Exposes it once again for the hate movement that it is.
Take heed, young man.
Don’t live with a woman.
Don’t marry a woman.
Don’t give them sex (in their current misandric, unpleasant state, they don’t deserve it. Besides, I’m sure you prefer to remain STD-free)
Don’t give them children (again, they don’t deserve it — and while they can’t wait very long before the hope of birthing children eludes them for good, we can easily and healthily father children well into our 60’s and beyond)
The power is YOURS!!

LOL
I should have read your post sooner! My Russian boyfriend
congratulated me last night and invited me over for dinner
with his family (as today is a busy day as far as work) for
all of us. I got to spend my night the best way I can think of,
with his warm and loving family, and with someone very special
to me who I admire.
I must say I was confused as to what the special occassion was
but now I know!
Thank you RW for letting us know. Is there a similar day for men
in Russia? I want to be prepared!
March 9, 2007 at 12:06 am
Anon girl… sorry, way too late for you…
Men’s day in Russia occured last month…
Men’s day in Russia is on February 23rd. It’s actually Defender of the Motherland Day. It’s a day of great signifance for Russian men as most have served in the Russian military. It’s just a ‘men’s day’ when women buy gifts for men in their lives….

Re: “congratulations”
It’s a figure of speach.
Rather than saying “Happy Women’s Day”, you extend “congratulations”.
Same holds true for New Year and Christmas. Rather than saying (as we do) “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”, you give “congratulations” for these occasions.
March 10, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Hi Shaun,
Thanks for the accurate detail.. Yes they typically only say Happy Woman’s day instead of any other greeting.

Hi Evangelist,
I agree with some of your key points but I think you might be missing the whole purpose behind this blog.
Yes Western Women are a huge risk to take on for a Man in any serious relationship. But Western Women do not have a monopoly on Marriage, Love, Sex or Family. Many better options for all of this on this side of the world and I hope you get a chance to check that out for yourself.
Thanks again,
GL

I sure agree with #13, RW. It is sometimes hard to shift gears and deal appropriately with the excellent women here in the Third World, after living for many years with the horrid, selfish, obese creatures who pass for AW. So, I certainly understand those men who assume women are the same everywhere, even though they happen to be wrong.
March 15, 2007 at 11:13 am
THE THIRD WORLD!
MMMMMMMMM,I JUST CAME BACK FROM RUSSIA AND I DIDNT THINK I WAS IN THE THIRD WORLD. :))
March 15, 2007 at 5:10 pm
I think you are an extreme christian-conservative freak even though some lines have sense to me.
Maybe your way of seeing things has been created or provoked by another extreme-thinking(Feminism of course).
This is not healthy, because some extreme reactions are based on anger or hate. And those reactions may come from people spreading bad vibes toward others instead of reacting wisely and helping others to see THE TRUTH, not yours while it’s based on hate and anger.
Oh, and precisely the main purpose of this blog (with his author) is to inform and help us to get a better understanding about women. This makes possible a good opinion to share.
I think you want to convert us into your way of thinking…
All you need is love man…!

Hi Georgieboy99,
Please tell us more about your trip
Hope it went well for you..

hi guys!
i just returned from st petersburg. i went to meet a lady i have been writing for 4 months, i had a fantastic time and as predicted on this very blog found myself saying “how soon can i get back here” before i got to the airport for my flight home.
it was truly wonderful to have my own personal tour guide for the weekend, using all my tips picked up here i was on my best behaviour at all times as well as being very smartly dressed, i behaved like a true gentleman and on just one occasion forgot myself and stepped through a door in front of her, she dealt me a playful clap round the head and remindeded me,”my dear i am first always”,never has a slap been so refreshing.
i had a wonderful time and hope to return soon, i am still in contact with my lady.
here is one tip for anyone thinking about making this trip,we went for a romantic dinner and i had ONE beer, (the only one of the weekend) and it was met with the enquiry of - “you are a drunk man,yes?”
things got a little frosty for an hour or so, so no more beer for me:))
one other thing,it was truly heartbreaking
to leave her behind.
March 16, 2007 at 4:38 am
I’m sure she is just crazy about you as well!!
March 16, 2007 at 4:39 am
drinking beer, pushing through doors!! what kind of behavior is that?!?! you uncivilized monster!!
March 16, 2007 at 11:40 pm
GL,
Sorry to go off topic, but as you live in Russia, I wanted to know what you thought about this article:
http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/1978
It seems that Russia as a country is in dire straights.
Any perspective you might have on this would be much appreciated.
Take care of that special lady!
March 17, 2007 at 2:22 pm
So Georgieboy99,
Now that you’ve been to Russia I have one question for you.
Would you ever consider dating women from your country ever again?
Please give us more of your impressions.. would love to hear them all.

It’s a good article but Russia’s biggest threat comes from within and not externally. Corruption is in my mind is the biggest problem. Russia cannot fully integrated with the rest of the world and capitalize on their huge natural resources and brilliant minds until they get this under control.
If they collapse because of population shrinkage many groups will want to cut and divide up the pieces. Just look at all of the border countries and you can see for yourself.
Thanks for your warm wishes by the way..

GL,
I think that there is a secret reason why some men become feminists…
I believe that some feminist men think that if they become feminist men, then that will cause women to like them and possibly even to have sex with them.
I’m not saying that this applies to all feminist men, but I think that it could very well apply to some.

“It’s a good article but Russia’s biggest threat comes from within and not externally…”
I see. Thanks for the heads up!
I worry about Islamic domination of the West, and especially Europe.
However, if it does happen, its because the West has become so greatly weakened by Cultural Marxism and feminism.
“Thanks for your warm wishes by the way..
GL”
No doubt!
Being married in this day and age is a risky proposition… but at the same time, I have to give / Respect to my young Ninja girl for her love and support.
Makes me a more effective MRA Revolutionary!
Peace.

Even though this is a late response to the response of georgieboy99’s (#19) - I couldn’t help laughing. I could totally relate to this scene when he went through the door before his girlfriend.
During one of my first trips to Tomck, I was a bit overwhelmed with everything and was allowing my girlfriend to show me around town. Usually, I always open doors and such for people with me. However because of all the new sights and sounds I had simply overlooked and neglected this task. After about the 4th or 5th door that I failed to open for her, she quietly stood to the side of one door and waited. I turned and looked at her - as if to ask, “What is the problem?”
Her response (with her usual elegant smirk): “Teddi, why must I always open the door for myself?”
Since that time, I will always jump to this task - BEFORE being asked. It isn’t a matter of having demands placed on myself, but rather being “GIVEN” the opportunity to show my love and concern for her.
…And, I might add, if you have ever tried to open the doors to shopping stores during winter time in Siberia - this is almost a “death defying” act. The closure springs require one to be a body builder to open!

OOPS…Almost forgot the reason that I made this connection in my last response:
International Womens Day is not something that the women have created for themselves to gain selfish recognition. It is a day when ALL women have the opportunity to be shown appreciation from men.
When I was younger, I always wondered how women must feel during Mothers Day if they could never have children - for varying reasons. Perhaps I am just too idealistic but I think true recognition for ALL women is necessary. Maybe there would be less competition in the struggle for manhood if men would show more appreciation for women.

…Just heard that today some European countries celebrate Fathers’ day!
You know, Russians like to celebrate on any worthy occasion.
Ukrainian as I am, I feel like honoring all the noble Fathers at this site, wishing them patience, wisdom and reward,
and saying belated thanks for M8 congratulations. (This holiday is a very multi-layered subject, and I just started touching on it.)
Sincerely,
Comrade Natalia.
March 19, 2007 at 3:53 pm
Yes, Natalia… Here in the USA, we celebrate Father’s Day on June 17, 2007… It’s one of my favorite day of celebration. A wonderful day of getting together with other guys and toast for our fathers.
By the way, in the USA, Mother’s day is on May 13, 2007… Just like women’s day in Russia, we men give flowers, gifts, cook dinner for mothers and grandmothers… we do give honor to other mothers and babushka outside of our families.
March 20, 2007 at 3:17 am
Women’s Day … Last year I celebrated it for the first time. I was still in a relatively new relationship with a Russian woman, but wanted to make a good impression on her and her family.
I picked up some flowers for her mother, sister, and niece… At the time, I had no idea how important the occasion really was, but I had covered my bases and all were impressed.
The year that followed filled me with appreciation for the occasion. Never before had I experienced the overflow of love and affection – the pure and earnest desire to please – the hospitality and dedication to my happiness that I experienced from the Russian women that have since become my second family.
We celebrate their magnificence on one special day a year; they celebrate their men every day of their lives.
Anyone privileged to experience the love of a Russian woman knows that everyday is women’s day, but especially on March 8th
March 20, 2007 at 8:03 am
Great words, Will!
I long to hear about your wedding.)
With all the best wishes,
Comrade N.
