We perfectly understand why any man would want to date one. What’s not to like about them? These women tend to be highly attractive, independent, in abundance, and in need of foreign husbands. Yes, you heard that right.

If you’re a decently attractive, hygienic, and relatively wealthy foreign man, that makes you a potential candidate for dating a Ukrainian girl. In fact, just being a foreigner in general sort of earns you a place on the list somewhere.

Why might that be?

This is because there’s a high demand for foreign husbands in Ukrainian cities, and this demand is partially responsible for the emergence of many international dating sites and online matchmaking services in the region that seek to pair Western men with young, attractive Ukrainian women.

It was this phenomenon that gave rise to the world-renowned “mail-order bride” craze that swept the Western world by storm within the last two decades or so.

Surely, you’ve heard of it by now. Women on catalogs advertising themselves as brides for sale and men actively seeking to “purchase” a wife. It doesn’t really work that way anymore, but we’ll expound on that later.

Not all women are the same, but you can make some safe assumptions about their attitude and behavior by understanding the culture that they come from. There are certain traits that Ukrainian women tend to have in common — some of which are prevalent throughout Eastern Europe.

However, simply being a foreigner might not be enough to woo them if you don’t follow the following tips with precision. Here are some traits that Ukrainian women find attractive in foreign men.

We’ll start with…

Integrity and independence

This is something that Ukrainian women innately embody, and for them to see this in a potential partner is usually a big turn on.

Ukrainian women are strong, autonomous, independent, and usually don’t need a man to survive. However, not needing one doesn’t necessarily translate to not wanting one, which is where you come into the equation

If you can prove to a Ukrainian woman that you’re a man of integrity who can successfully function on his own, she’ll admire you for it. This means being able to walk your talk, handle your own problems, and basically survive on your own two feet without external help.

Usually, this is achieved by having a high-paying profession, living alone, funding your own travels and recreation, and being able to enjoy your own hobbies on your own time without anyone else deciding what you spend it on and how you spend it.

Remember — an independent Ukrainian lady needs an independent foreign man to match her caliber of autonomy.

An understanding of chivalry in Ukrainian culture

You’ve got to show this woman that you did your research. The last person that a Ukrainian girl wants to date is someone who is so out of touch with Ukrainian culture that they are offensive, insensitive, or just plain boisterous in public.

You need to have some fundamental etiquette equipped with you on this journey, and that only comes with adequate research on their culture.

Despite the fact that these women may find foreign men attractive, you don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. You may be valued for your exoticity, but it’ll need a grain of respect and chivalry to top it all off — that’ll make for a tantalizing aura that makes you unique, giving you an edge over other Westerners in town.

Remember — women from Ukraine tend to view men as providers, as their culture places heavy importance on the traditional family dynamic. Historically, men are the breadwinners, while women do housework and birth-giving.

Modern Ukrainian women tend not to adhere too strictly to that dynamic anymore as gender roles have gradually shifted over time. Despite thinking more progressively nowadays, they still see men as providers and may take offense when you don’t pay for things.

That’s the thing — you’ll need to front the fees when you’re out dating — for everything, including restaurant bills, door fees, movie tickets, transportation, accommodation — all of that.

It may seem strange, but by understanding the significance of this dynamic, you will show your Ukrainian love interest that you genuinely understand her culture and are willing to adjust to that, just for her.

By not labeling her as a gold-digger and not antagonizing her for her culture, she’ll most likely respond positively to your advances.

Proper hygiene, confidence, and good fashion sense

No matter what the occasion is, whether it be a short trip to the grocery store or even just a stroll through the park, a Ukrainian girl will usually dress to impress. You’ll notice this when you two are out. She’ll probably look like a runway model in her perfect makeup and stylish designer clothes.

In short, she’ll look absolutely stunning. These women almost never dress down. Surely enough, she’s going to expect her man to look just as good, if not better.

Keeping your hygiene in check is a necessity. These women pay extremely close attention to detail and will notice if you haven’t showered, changed, shaved, or brushed your teeth.

This doesn’t mean you need to wear a tuxedo or dress like a million bucks (although you probably can if you want to).

As long as you have a sense of fashion, know how to style your getup, make sure your clothes are clean and ironed, and carry yourself with an air of sophistication, you don’t need designer apparel to look good beside your Ukrainian love interest.

You just need confidence, a basic understanding of modern fashion trends, and well-kept hygiene.

We could go on and on about the various ways to woo Ukrainian girls with your personality, but there’d be no challenge in this if we gave it all away. On this journey, it’s up to you to remember and utilize these tips to your advantage, and you’ll learn even more along the way.

With that being said, we wish everyone who’s embarking on this journey the best of luck. Happy dating!
