Writing Tips
We hope that this section of the Ladies Russia site will
help you with such not simple issue as cross-cultural communication.
We will give you some advice on writing letters, sending photos,
etc. Let's start with do's and don'ts that one should keep in
mind starting correspondence with Russian women.
Do's and Don'ts: Be Wise Writing Your Letter
-
Don't make your first letter or email to a woman
too short or too long. Show that you are interested but don't
be meddlesome. One or two sentences are not enough to attract
women's attention.
-
Try to tell essential information about yourself
(age, personality, interests, maritifal status, children if
any). But don't send complete autobiography. It should be introduction,
not a novel.
-
Send a picture or two with your introduction
letter. Try to find a picture where you are smiling.
-
Don't send a photo where you are seminude or
wearing swimming trunks with your first letter. Serious Russian
women will hardly answer it. Also avoid photos where you are
smoking or drinking alcohol.
-
Don't send pictures of your property, cars,
etc. These photos can attract the wrong kind of girl.
-
Don't make your letter anonymous and don't forget
to put the woman's name at the beginning of your letter.
-
Before writing a letter to your favorite woman
read her information carefully. Write a couple of questions
showing that you want to know more about her.
-
Don't touch upon sexuality and similar topics
in the first letter. It's better to leave this conversation
for the future when you know each other better.
Attract Russian Women Through Letters
First question you should ask yourself when you have decided
to start communication with a Russian woman is as follows:
Is your purpose to exchange letters or to find your soul mate
and life partner?
Letter writing should be that instrument, which will help both
of you understand if you are really interested in each other.
The purpose of the introduction letter is to get a reply, get
correspondence started. As one of our colleagues in the dating
industry suggests, the style of the letter writing called "romantic
minimalism" proves to be really the most effective. The first
paragraph of your letter should capture the attention of your
lady. Well, that's the thing you should think hard about. Try
beautiful words, but don't get fanatic, even compliments can do
harm if they are abundant. Look at the picture of hers, try to
personalize. Then, write about yourself, but it's not necessarily
to specify your nickname, or how many miles from the nearest golf-field
you live. What the lady really needs to know, is that you are
serious, not just looking for a toy or a housekeeper, that you're
not another pen pal who'll disappear, etc. Work, income and so
on are good topics for the correspondence later on. You maybe
Mr. President himself, but in introductory letter you should remain
vague and unpretentious.
All the said doesn't mean that you should write only two or three
lines in your first letter. Nothing of the kind. In your letter
you must show her that you are really interested in getting to
know her. Just write a normal size letter. You are writing not
a novel anyhow. Take a personal approach, try to focus on the
keywords she used in her ad information. Don't talk bad about
the women you've been dating before, also, leave out the details
of your previous relationships and married life, keep them for
yourself. Don't send dried flowers, it's no more romantic and
could be considered as bad omen. Use simple language, don't quote
Petrarche and Shakespeare, she'll know later how well you are
educated.
We recommend to send a picture or two with the introduction letter.
A good face shot is important. Russian ladies give attention to
the eyes, so, couple of photos with a smile would be good. Mind,
that the photos should show you and not your material possessions,
like car, house, office and so on; thus, you are at risk of attracting
the wrong kind of girl.
