Ukrainian girls are some of the most beautiful and interesting women in the world.
And because of their charming personalities and traditional family values, Ukrainian girls can make fantastic girlfriends and even better life partners.
That being said, there are some cultural differences you should be aware of when dating Ukrainian girls. So let’s get you up to speed on what to expect so that you can navigate these waters with confidence.
Here are the top 10 reasons you should consider dating Ukrainian girls:
1. Ukrainian Girls Are Very Beautiful
Let’s start with the obvious. Ukrainian women have long been known for their stunning looks and natural beauty.
In fact, they embody many classic beauty standards: pretty skin, bright eyes, healthy hair, beautiful faces, and slim figures. This is why so many men find them attractive and irresistible!
So competition for their attention and attraction will always be high.
But beauty is only one of the things that makes Ukrainian girls so desirable. When you combine this with the other reasons listed below, you will quickly see why so many men are drawn to them.
2. Traditional Views on Gender Roles
An important benefit to dating Ukrainian women is the traditional outlook on gender roles that many Ukrainians have been taught since birth.
In Ukraine, men are expected to lead the relationship and be the head of the family. Women traditionally take on a more supportive and nurturing role.
And this isn’t viewed as ‘oppressive’ or ‘unfair’ in Ukrainian society. It is simply viewed as the natural order of things, with each person supporting the relationship in their own way.
This means that you will be expected to take the lead when it comes to things like getting ready for a date or making plans.
And while this doesn’t mean your Ukrainian partner won’t want to offer her input, the expectation is that you will fill a traditionally masculine role.
3. Loyal and Dependable
Ukrainian women also have a reputation for being loyal and dependable partners.
In Ukraine, loyalty is held in high regard. This includes loyalty between romantic partners as well as within families and friendships.
This makes it easier for couples looking for long term relationships, because there should be fewer doubts when it comes to commitment levels. So both people have a good idea of what is expected from one another.
But this loyalty comes at a price: you will be expected to be a loyal and dependable partner as well. This is definitely a two-way street and she will probably turn to ice if you betray her trust in a meaningful way.
Ukrainian women will only remain loyal and pleasant if they are treated with respect. So don’t take her loyalty for granted; if you lose her trust it might never be recovered.
4. Family-Oriented
When it comes to Ukrainian culture and dating, family is an important part of the equation. Ukrainian women are very close with their families and they often involve them in their dating lives in one way or another.
This means that if you’re serious about your relationship with your Ukrainian girlfriend or fiancée, then it’s important to get to know her family as well.
Another thing you should be aware of is the high likelihood that she will want to have children. Unlike in the West, most Ukrainian women haven’t been brainwashed to think that a career or pets are an acceptable substitute for starting a family.
They are also more likely to laugh at the idea that climate change is a reason to avoid having children, unlike a growing number of Western women who take this notion seriously.
So if you are looking for a life partner who values family, children, and tradition…a Ukrainian girl might be perfect for you!
5. Feminine Charm
Another aspect of Ukrainian culture that is still alive and well is feminine charm. In Ukraine, women are expected to be strong yet feminine—a balance that seems to have been abandoned in Western culture.
So you can expect many Ukrainian women you date to be strong, while maintaining their femininity. And remember: most Ukrainians are cautious about opening up to new people. So it might take some time before you get access to her sweeter side.
Another thing to remember is that she will expect you to be chivalrous and to treat her like a lady. This means behaving as a gentlemen and remembering small but meaningful gestures such as opening the door for her and pulling out her chair. These details will definitely be noticed!
(You might need to consciously relearn some of these basics which have been demonized as outdated or ‘misogynistic’ in Western society.)
6. Pride in Appearance
Ukrainian women care deeply about appearances – both their own and their partner’s as well. So if you plan on taking your Ukrainian girlfriend out on dates or spending time with her family and friends, then looking your best is essential.
This is a huge difference compared to dating many Western women who no longer put as much effort into their personal appearance. Leggings and Ugg boots have sadly become standard first date apparel in the West. (Once again we have falling societal standards to thank for this.)
So you need to be ready to impress with your style and appearance.
And this means more than just wearing clean clothes. Ukrainian women expect well-groomed hair, good fashion sense and someone who appreciates the effort they have taken to look good. Remember: they want to look good with you!
Of course, you don’t need to go all out every time you leave the house, but make sure your appearance reflects how serious you are about making a good impression.
7. Love of Romance
Romance is one of the things many Ukrainian women value in relationships more than almost anything else. And while there are some cultural nuances that should be kept in mind, romance should never be overlooked!
A good way to approach dating Ukrainian girls is to pretend you are traveling back in time to a dating market of the past.
Things that will get you penalized in your Western dating market for being ‘weak’ or ‘trying to hard’ are still valued in many parts of the world, and by Ukrainian women.
For example, simple gestures like giving her flowers or writing her letters are both appreciated and valued. Doing these things will show her how much you care, and will not be seen as weird or ‘creepy’ if done correctly and at the appropriate time.
Just make sure not to overdo things. Too much romance too early on could scare her off instead of making her feel special!
8. Good Cooking Skills
Many Ukrainian women are very talented in the kitchen. This is a result of growing up in a country where most meals are prepared at home instead of in a restaurant.
Girls often learn how to cook from a young age with the expectation that someday they will be cooking for their husband and children.
So she has probably learned how to cook from her mom and the other women in her family.
This doesn’t mean than every Ukrainian girl is a world-class chef. But she will likely be competent in the kitchen and know how to prepare traditional Ukrainian dishes if she had a traditional Ukrainian upbringing.
9. Religious Values
Most Ukrainians have a healthy respect for religion and were raised in the Eastern Orthodox Christian church.
This means that religion is very important to many Ukrainians.
So if Christian religion is important to you then dating a traditional Ukrainian girl might be a great fit! The same can be said if you desire to have children and plan on raising them within the church.
Because religion is such a personal and important thing to many people, I recommend discussing religion early in your relationship to determine compatibility.
10. Social Skills & Sense of Humor
Ukrainians are very social people. Like most people, they love getting together with friends and family to eat, drink, and socialize.
They are also known to have a good sense of humor once they get to know you. (Although humor can be challenging at first due to differences in culture and language.)
Something that is worth mentioning when it comes to Ukrainians is who they tend to socialize with…and avoid. Ukrainians are not known for engaging in superficial relationships.
If they actually like you they will want to spend time with you. If they do not like you, they won’t pretend like they do.
This is different than in the West, where it’s common for people who don’t like each other to make a show of pretending to get along. So you probably won’t find Ukrainians spending time with people they don’t genuinely like or respect.
