Things Westerners Do That Turn Kiev Women Off

And to avoid losing them in the process.

In general, there are a whole lot of aspects of Western culture that contrast European culture, and it’s quite observable in the realm of dating.

If you aren’t careful, it’s not that hard to turn your European love interest off. Whether you’re a tourist in her nation or she’s touring in yours, it could happen.

But we’re all here to make sure it doesn’t happen, right? Surely, if we’re here writing this and you’re here reading it, that means we’re all in the business of not offending our European female companions (or, at least, learning how not to).

Let’s be a little more specific. We’re not just talking about Europeans in general. We’re talking about Ukrainian women in Kiev.

Yes, the unique and ever-mysterious Kiev women, that’s who we’re getting towards.

These women have a certain formula to them that you have to follow if you want to achieve any degree of success in terms of dating. You can’t just jump head-first into this endeavor as if you were dating any other local woman back home.

It’s an entirely different game plan. Well, they’re not that different from most European girls, but there are definitely some distinctions. There are a handful of things that your local Western women don’t mind that Kiev women absolutely do mind, and if you don’t take note of what those specific factors are, you know that’s not going to be good news.

There are also a whole lot of behavioral and cultural aspects of these women that are similar to that of Russian girls, which tells us that many neighboring Eastern European nations have recurring ideas and mindsets among their women that coincide with each other regionally – so it encompasses a wider demographic.

Just what exactly are these distinctions in character? How exactly should we act so as to not offend our Ukrainian love interest when we’re trying to build good rapport with them?

In this blog, we’ll explore the cultural aspects and historical significance that give rise to the personality and behavior of Ukrainian girls, which influences the ways in which one must approach them in a dating environment.

We’ll start with:

Being too assertive or abrasive

It’s common for men to be a little bit assertive sometimes, playfully or otherwise. Some are just naturally a little rough around the edges, and they tend to tease or be aggressive at times.

This doesn’t sit well with most Kiev women, and it’d be a poor strategy to try and impress them by being a jerk. The big, loud, boisterous Westerner is among the stereotypes that Ukrainian women tend to avoid, and one of the reasons behind this is a difference in culture.

These girls don’t respond well to this kind of behavior, and, even though some Western women may find this appealing or normal to an extent, you absolutely should be toning down your aggressiveness and avoid being abrasive when handling these girls.

Aside from sticking out like a sore thumb in a nation that looks down on this behavior, they’ll usually brush you off immediately if you try to impress them in this fashion.

This goes well beyond the realm of dating as well. In general, just don’t do this at all if you’re anywhere in Ukraine. It won’t work in your favor.

Making her pay for anything

This is one of the more commonly cited aspects of Ukrainian women that many people tend to emphasize – the provider dynamic.

Culturally, it’s deeply ingrained in their history and background to view men as the breadwinners and main providers of any relationship dynamic – whether it be marriage or even when you guys are still getting to know each other.

Any guy who’s been to Ukraine (or pretty much any online blogs dealing with a similar subject matter as this one) will tell you that, under any circumstances whatsoever, you absolutely must not let your Ukrainian date pay for any bills.

That’s just the way it is. It’s sort of like an unspoken rule – an aspect of dating that you’re simply required to know about beforehand. Transportation fees, restaurant bills when you’re out on dates, movie tickets – you’re going to have to be the one to cover for those.

Asking her to split the bill with you would be a mortal sin in this regard, and asking her to cover the entire bill itself would just be asking for trouble. Do not do this.

Then again, keep in mind that not all Ukrainian girls will attempt to milk you out of your money or gold-dig on you. We’re not trying to imply that they’re all materialistic and superficial. The average Ukrainian woman most likely won’t force you to pay for everything, but it’ll definitely leave a bad impression on her if you don’t offer to do so.

It’s a cultural thing.

Mistaking her for an escort

Sure, the women in Kiev are extremely approachable and it’s not that hard to strike up a conversation with one in a public place. However, that doesn’t mean you can be sleazy and just assume that they’re all escorts.

This will warrant some dirty looks, or, worse, you’ll get slapped for your disrespect. Don’t try and waive money in their faces or make derogatory remarks as if they’re into that.

To make the assumption that any randomly attractive girl you see on the streets in Kiev is a social worker would be extremely ignorant and disrespectful to the modest population of good Kiev girls out there. Try not to offend them in this manner – and remember, not everything you see online happens in real life. Be realistic.

These are just a small handful of things that turn Kiev women off – and it doesn’t apply only to Westerners. Men, in general, should watch out for these particular nuances to ensure a safe, steady, and healthy dating experience in the City of Brides.

Stay in the know. Be wise and do your research beforehand. By doing so, you should be alright.
