Most foreigners would like to "tie" their lives with women who are younger. To have a young wife is almost the same as to have a house in a prestigious neighborhood. The older a man is, the younger girls attract him. An average 50 year old man with ordinary looks, dreams of a young 20-year old Russian beauty. With this demand he uses a dating agency service. Many foreign men in their 40-s (and even 50-s) want to have heir, that's why they are looking for women younger than 36.
Young men from western countries before 30 don't pay much attention to the age difference, so they have nothing against their women being older, - let say 5 years older - although Russian girls don't want to marry young boys, we mean men who are younger.
What can be done those men who live in the world of dreams? A senior foreigner who thinks that he is a great gift for a young Russian bride needs his consciousness to be recovered. The faster he understands that writing letters to the Russian girls 30 years younger than him is not going to help, the faster he see the common sense, the faster he will be able to find his true match and a lovely bride from Russia.
There are so many beautiful and charming Russian ladies older than 35 year old, the ladies who are at least 10 - 15 years are closer to the age of a man. These ladies would be happy to become your soul mate, faithful and loving wife.
Young Russian girls either don't answer the letters from men who are older or say "I am sorry", which makes man really mad and confuses them a lot. They don't understand the reason of the refuse; they write to the marriage agency fierce letters, complaining "what happened? Why the ladies don't answer my letters, I wrote hundreds of them and none has responded?" Well, may be you need to change your strategy of your search and you will be surprised how things work out right in front of your eyes. If a foreigner is not a "dreamer" but a realistic person, he will find out that for many Russian women over the age 35 he is a real gift!
