This gem:

Although there does seem to be some evidence of a growing trend in Russia. In addition to a surplus female population (alluded to in a post above), Russian men are just off the charts in terms of chronic alcoholism, physical abuse, crime, disappearing for months at a time and pretty much anything else that would be considered deal-breaker material for any would-be female paramour.

I have a friend living in Russia right now. He did very poorly with women here, but over there they are literally lining up for him. He also notes that there is a fast growing phenomenon of women over 30 (or under but lacking the requisite beauty to ever hope to be a mail order bride or member of some mafia concubine) partnering up with another woman in a quasi-homosexual relationship. It’s not about sexual desires per se, but simply a recognition that we need to go through life with a partner and the men – at least the ones who haven’t managed to kill themselves or get shipped off to some Siberian work camp – are simply not cutting it.
