As you may know from reading my blog Saturday night is my ritual music club night. ?
And I usually get some great photos from these visits.
Well last night was no exception.
By the way from now on I’m going to be displaying all photos in the normal posts sections and not with separate pages.? I’ll be moving all of the other photos as well onto their individual announcement posts too and will delete the original photo pages soon..
BUT DON’T WORRY!!
You will STILL have an image page index you can use to easily navigate to them anytime you wish.
I have a bunch of other photos besides these that I took.. But you will just have to be patient till the next time I post another batch to see them. 😦
In anycase click the more link below to see what I have today.? 🙂

GL… These pics that you post here are truely fantastic. Would it be of use to you if I cropped them and processed them and then sent them back to you. The cropping will reduse the size of the files, and therefore, the loading times.
BTW…. just loved the one with the Guiness bottle.

Yes men, they really do look like this – and even more important they are loving, caring and nurturing.
November 12, 2006 at 12:04 pm
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for the offer but i’ll just keep it this way for now since you need to click the more link to see them and it doesn’t kill the load time if you are just hitting the home page. Besides I like the larger images 😉
November 12, 2006 at 1:19 pm
They dress quite modest. Do they always dress like that?
Much different from American girls dressing so sleazy and trying to show off her body at bar/club scene.
November 12, 2006 at 1:27 pm
QuietRebel,
It’s winter time.. so that is why you see mostly “conservative” dress styles. BUT be real careful about labeling sexy fashions as sleazy because almost all of them dress that way during the summertime.. and when you see it I don’t think you would complain 😉
November 12, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Thanks, RW_man. I like “conservative” style the best. That’s pretty much my style. I just think it’s sexier than those sexy fashions. However, I wouldn’t complain at all about sexy fashions during the summer. Why not have fun!? 🙂
By the way, the picture size are just perfect. just loved the picture number 1.
November 12, 2006 at 2:53 pm
Hey GL;
Are all these pictures of women only in Siberia? I hate to be repetitive, but would it be possible to show their ages?
If not it’s okay, just trying to visualize in a more realistic fashion.

You’ve done it again RW_Man, those photos made my day. Especially the photo of the blonde lady wearing the black blouse, she’d turn heads on the streets here…..:-)

Canajun,
When you come to Russia.. make sure you NEVER ask a woman her age. It’s considered to be rude and you just have to figure out by other means. I usually ask for her chinese horoscope sign.. then I can figure it out from there. 🙂
In the meantime you will just have to deal with the timeless mystery of what age you believe these women to be. 🙂
November 12, 2006 at 5:06 pm
Okay RW. I hope I can learn.

About their summer fashions… there is a huge difference between Russian and Western women. Russian women can wear very revealing clothing, because they possess dignity and poise. Western women wear revealing clothing and go about screaming ‘look at me! look at me!’ then ‘how dare you you look at me!’ A huge difference. A refreshing difference.
November 12, 2006 at 5:41 pm
Joe thanks for the key insight there.
You are absolutely right about that. Russian Women truly present themselves in this dignified manner even when they are walking around in the skimpiest of clothes. It’s because of this attitude they carry that my own emotions to them have been primarily focused on an appreciation for their beauty as opposed to some primal lust.
It’s because the beauty and poise is the first and most important thing you notice. 🙂
November 12, 2006 at 7:53 pm
Still, there has to be limits to “less clothing”.
And Joe is certainly right about AW, myself I have lost all interest in AW. The difference between AW and RW in the view of less clothing in the summer is an interesting point of view, but I still have to find that one out for myself(Hah)!
However, the posts and articles from RW_Man and others give an excellent description and “read into” these women well.
November 13, 2006 at 4:46 am
The first one is cute, but …When you find a Cindy Crawford/Stephanie Seymore lookalike, email me. 😀 I’m hoping there’s one out there.
November 13, 2006 at 4:23 pm
Hey GL these girls are beautiful. In the U.S. you know they would not give you the time of day hahaaa. Wow such beauty and gentleness all in one.
November 13, 2006 at 5:04 pm
I think most girls in Russia dress like that. They try to look nice even if they just need to go to the store:)
November 13, 2006 at 5:28 pm
Honestly tyhigs,
I’m sure that if I met Cindy Crawford or Stephanie Seymore in person I don’t think I’d be that impressed and I’m not trying to be arrogant about that. It’s just that those types of girls in my eyes are quite normal here.
By the way these are all ladies that I know and they are indeed feminine.. feminine.. feminine.. One of them in particular is very strong as well and a good friend..
November 13, 2006 at 7:02 pm
Joe, very accurate observation:
“Western women wear revealing clothing and go about screaming ‘look at me! look at me!’ then ‘how dare you you look at me!’”
I’ve noticed this too and it blows my mind. I don’t look for logic in the behavior of American women anymore; that kind of thinking can drive you nuts.
November 14, 2006 at 11:50 am
Hero is most correct. When even not so good looking women here wear revealing clothing, they express their disgust at the normal male attraction as rude and insulting of what is natural for a man to feel.
More ammunition to use against men and how uncivilized they may be, and to degrade them all they can.
When I come to Russia, I think I must unlearn what our society here has taught me. Look, admire and be yourself and what a man’s instincts have always been. The law’s of natural attraction.

Women in the United States do that Canajun to tease and manipulate men to either torment or control them. That is the real reason why they do that, and that is one reason why I ignore women who do that as if they don’t exist. American women can’t manipulate all men by dressing like a whore and then crying foul when they attract attention. Smart men see that game for what it is.

November 15, 2006 at 11:18 pm
aaw that makes me a bit worried now. All of them have such nice long hair, and mines so short. At least I know how to dress attractively (ie not slutty). I think that when a man notices you it’s a compliment though, because he doesn’t know anything about you yet likes your looks. Means good things if you get in a relationship, since you know the other person will like you too.
November 17, 2006 at 12:53 am
An attractively dressed lady trumps one who looks like a hoochie mama everytime. That’s because men see the woman, not what she’s wearing, or not wearing. Also, men notice women’s body language, and the vibes she gives off. You’re on the right track there Kara….:-)
Taras
November 18, 2006 at 11:30 pm
It is all about attitude and first impressions.
AW fail when it comes to these 2 crucial tests. They express contempt, distance and anger. They are dishonest in their appearance and rude in their attitude.
momen should expect men to test them.
Men have to know what your attitude and composure will be like when we first meet you .
Men want genuine women who are Calm, confident of their true identity, peaceful and friendly.

Thanks for the advice C and Taras!
I definately have been getting results; before I’d go into a bar and people would look at me like I was a 15 year old skank before I ditched the feminist attitude. Now men look at me like I’m a sophisticated undergrad student at the local university! I don’t even get carded even though I am not legally able to drink (though I refuse to anyways ;D)
I think it’s more important to be confident in yourself and be cheerful. I suppose that’s why I look so much older!
November 19, 2006 at 6:14 pm
Kara,
Grow your hair out and join the club my dear 😉
Believe me most Men totally prefer Women with long hair.. And these ladies know this and that is why most of the Ladies in Russia
keep their hair long..
Go for it.. It will do wonders for any Women in the attraction department..
November 24, 2006 at 4:22 am
I will confirm what RW_Man has said: Yes it is true men, like me, want women to keep their hair long. Men see it as part of your feminine identity.
I do not even consider women with short hair who look as though they were men!
Oh Yeah and not too much make up either or else you can borderline on the obscene/slutty
take an example from the women above: all three; not too much makeup.
Sincerely, C.

I am going to have to send this blog to all of my female friends, Canadidan, American, German and French. Too funny…
it is so obvious that these women will do anything for a Western husband, men are so easily fooled..perhaps you do fall in love with your “ears” more than you realize.
January 9, 2007 at 5:06 pm
Interesting that this Dana doesn’t want to have a real conversation, and only flits from article to article dumping sh*tbombs. I count 3 of these drive-bys so far.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury: Exhibit A.
Beauty is only skin deep, Dana. But ugly is right to the f-ing bone!
January 9, 2007 at 7:25 pm
Yes Dana..
PLEASE Tell all of your “female friends” (aka men in disguise)…
My invitation to both you and them is always open as I’ve spelled out in this post.
Now that you’ve sent out the invites.. are you sure you want them watching while we methodically humiliate you?
Or was that your secret desire all along?

This post, however off-topic it may be, is about Internet freedom. \”Network Neutrality\” — the First Amendment of the Internet — ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by preventing Internet companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying sites.
But Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to gut Net Neutrality. If Congress doesn\’t take action now to implement meaningful Net Neutrality provisions, the future of the Internet is at risk.
In the end game, only large companies will afford domains if the communications monopolies have their way with this. This of course isnt new news, but its coming to a head and blogs like this one will be a ghosttown unless all of us figure it our pretty darn quick. I wont post any links, but advise that if you value the internet, and blogs likw this one, that you search Google for \”Network Neutrality\” and educate yourself on this issue as it effects all of us.

these are nice !!! i can say only this…
October 28, 2008 at 3:03 am
I feel like every time I read what Taras has said on a page I am enlightened.
It is SO clear that women do JUST THAT. They dress in skimpy little dresses and short-shorts and then glare at you and call you a pig when you notice how sexy they look.
Not all A.W. are like that, but most of them are, and the one’s who aren’t ‘act’ like they don’t like it when they’re around the others.

I sympathise with Western men who are unsure how they are meant to respond to attractive women, and feel they lose whatever they do — either they have to keep quiet and never make a move on a pretty girl; or they risk being ridiculed by her. There are no clear guidelines given to men when they hit puberty.
Perhaps I could give my perspective on it as a Western woman?
Jason, you said woman “call you a pig when you notice how sexy they look”. I think it all depends on what you mean by ‘notice’. I’m not sure what you are doing to make women call you a pig. In any case, here are some thoughts.
1. What you do
– If a Western woman receives a nice smile from a stranger, then it’s usually welcome. If it’s an aggressive comment from a stranger, however, then it’s usually unwelcome. Many men seem more interested in impressing their friends with their comments than impressing the woman they are calling out to. The other day I received a really nice compliment in the street from a guy who called out, “Nice dress… very elegant.” It wasn’t aggressive, just a nice comment on a balmy autumn evening. You’ll get a much better response than comments like, “Nice rack!” (!!!) And no I don’t think he was gay 🙂
– It’s hard to get offended by a smile! If you are getting bad responses to your smile, then ask a female friend… maybe you are inadvertantly projecting some kind of emotion with your smile that you don’t intend to.
– It should go without saying that you should never touch a woman who does not know you, but I have been groped before by total strangers in clubs. I’m not sure whether they thought this was appropriate behaviour beforehand but they certainly knew that it wasn’t, afterwards!!
2. When you do it
The aggressive comment from a stranger is particularly unwelcome if I am walking alone, in which case it can be downright scary. There is nothing flattering about a man following me and calling out to me when I am walking alone at night… I feel threatened and vulnerable — about as far away from turned on as can be. Flirting is all about being playful and breezy, not about making the other person feel physically uncomfortable. In a safe environment (like a mall, a friend’s house, a sports game) you can say more as the woman will feel safer.
3. Who does it
Generally women appreciate attention from men that they find attractive. That means that the whistle from the bum on the street is not very welcome, but the appreciative whistle from my boyfriend is. The slimy comment from the sweaty IT support man turns my stomach, but the same exact words from the hot mail guy makes my heart flutter. To put it another way, just because a woman dresses up nicely, doesn’t mean that she intends to attract YOU. Let’s assume you’re heterosexual. (I think this is a fair assumption of the men on this site!) If a gay man found you attractive, then objectively speaking, that’s a compliment. But you’d probably not like it very much if he started making lewd remarks at you. Why? Because you don’t find him attractive. You didn’t buy that suit, wear that tie, get that haircut, to be attractive to him. You did it to be attractive to other people — ie., women!
October 28, 2008 at 5:17 pm
Dawn,
These are some key points you’ve brought up and I agree whole heartedly with what you have said. I think it goes almost without saying that we all want to be attractive to ‘the right person or persons’ in most daily situations. You have given some good tips regarding appropriateness of behavior that should be basic common sense for all guys.
I do however know of tremendous numbers of NA women who exhibit cheap, sluttish behavior on a regular basis and then act offended if the people who most readily notice them are not the guys they want to be with. A close friend (a woman) once said to me, “If ya’ act like a whore, expect to be treated like one”.
There have been many times in open, public environments where I have complimented women on their clothes, their hair, their smile or whatever and have been looked at as if I am some sort of lecherous street bum. But I have also told men that I do not know that they have a sharp suit or asked about a really comfortable looking pair of shoes without being treated like a gay hitting on them. I have held doors for women and occasionally get told, “I can get it myself” when in fact I would have held the door for any guy in the same situation. Being polite is not a form of sexual deviance. This brings to mind the situation I related in a past post about the young woman at a Starbucks who looked to me like she needed a little pick-me-up so I bought her a tiny Orchid in a vase. She teared up when I gave it to her and said that no one had ever given her a flower before. She was so moved by that little gesture and I felt good for being a part of it, but she was also a recent immigrant from Ukraine working her first job in the US. For several days I wondered if a young woman born and raised in the US would have had the same response.
I do not dispute anything you are saying about the women who like to look good and feel comfortable in their attire, and certainly there are times when a man should consider the overall situation before making any comments or compliments. I think that we do however need to accept the reality that hundreds of thousands of modern NA women are only interested in being noticed by a select handful of men which clearly puts every other man at the distinct disadvantage of being unable to even be courteous at times without coming off as “a pig”. What’s more, I think that women who dress a step beyond provocative and then say they are just trying to be comfortable are more than a little deceitful. The woman who is opening an extra button on her blouse and spraying a shot of perfume between her breasts to get the attention of one particular man should not be offended at the interest she creates in others. That’s just trashy behavior and she gets exactly the kind of attention she deserves. (once again, ‘act like and be treated like’ . . )
It seems to me that any young, NA woman who is looking for a lasting relationship and an honest man to spend her life with would stop seeking out the game plan that best tricks him into submission and try offering honesty herself. And since divorce for profit is now an industry of its own, maybe men are simply looking for women of character rather than the ‘hottest little hottie’ on the dance floor.
As far as “generally women appreciate attention from men that they find attractive”, my concern is that we don’t know who “they find attractive” so average guys that don’t look like Tom Cruise should stay quiet I guess. I have to say that this is very much a NA trait. Women in every country I have ever been to appreciate attention and comments about their style or beauty no matter who they come from. Not so here. If I am an average looking guy and there is no particular reason to say anything to a woman but I decide to say, “Cute dress” or “You look sharp today”, it is more often than not considered forward or just plain out of line. Consequently, I have all but stopped complimenting women that I don’t know. Don’t you agree that this is a pretty sad state of affairs? Men would rather not risk the put down than to tell some lady that she looks nice.
When you compare the men that a beautiful NA woman might find attractive against some street bum it diminishes the value of every other man in the country. As with women, men are more likely to be of average looks than either a Hollywood star or a wino sleeping in a park. And sadder still to me is that a guy can say something nice to a woman who doesn’t have the looks of Heather Locklear or Catherine Zeta-Jones and be even more suspect because after all, what good intentions could he possibly have.
If we can agree that some of the ladies shown on this site are pretty but not necessarily stunning, yet they are all humbled by this experience, then I contend that it serves to reinforce the difference is in core values more than appearance.
October 28, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Richard,
What you’re saying is very true. But I think it is difficult from both sides. I like smiling at people and having casual conversations, but several times I’ve had guys then ask me for my phone number when I was actually just trying to be polite. And that’s very flattering of course, but many of them will not take no for an answer however polite you’re trying to be about it. After having a couple of incidents like that, I admit, I’ve become more wary of being polite to strangers and I hate that. I still smile and such, but I’ve probably become a bit more reserved.
Getting angry with somebody for holding the door for you seems plain silly to me. I don’t get people who think like that. Even if you’re a feminist you don’t have to read gender roles into *everything.*
Hazel
October 28, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Agree, Hazel… I can’t imagine any situation in which it would be justified to get mad at someone for holding a door for you! That is really screwed up.
