I have certainly become more picky as I've gotten older in regards to who I want to enter a relationship with because if I enter a relationship, the eventual goal is marriage. Unfortunately, the better I've gotten with women and the more I learn about how easy many are, my pickiness has gone even higher. I now search for respect, values, and integrity above all else for relationship. I have a girlfriend now and she checks all of these boxes, but even knowing this, we still hooked up on the 2nd date. Which concerns me.

Oh boy Russian women. Just like the US it depends if they come from a major city or a small town. The woman I mentioned is from Siberia and extremely traditional, but I've met others in non-dating contexts from Moscow and they still sleep around, at least the ones I've met. They also have pretty high expectations for men. You must meet the provider role. You're definitely paying for everything, which isn't a problem itself, but she probably won't say thank you after. They're hard to read and take a lot of time to open up, which makes sense if you go back to Communist days where nobody trusted each other because they had neighbors ratting out neighbors. Like I said, cultural differences lol.

In any case, I hope we both find the woman we're looking for and I hope we both start large amazing families. Best of luck to you, brother.
