As an international travel website, we often work with international dating websites to help single people meet suitable candidates internationally. From our work, we have learned that people from different cultures have different standards when it comes to looking for relationships.
- What do Eastern European women prefer?
Unlike western women who are attracted to exciting men, Eastern European women like mature men that are honest, reliable and trustworthy. In other words, western women want to date exciting men while expecting exciting men to give them stable relationships (which is quite unlikely to happen in reality these days). In contrast, Eastern European women prefer good men who are only looking for serious relationships.
Further research shows that although western women are interested in long-term relationships, they find exciting men attractive, which is a bit sad because chances are exciting men aren’t looking for relationships. But Eastern European women’s approach is very different: They are not attracted to exciting men; instead, they are eager to meet good men for marriage. That’s because women from Eastern Europe tend to have traditional values. From their perspective, dating isn’t about meeting various men for dates; dating is all about finding a long-term relationship that leads to sustainable happiness and deep joy.
That is to say, western women think they want relationships, but their behavior indicates something else. Or perhaps their skills don’t match their standards. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying all western women operate like that. I mean this is quite common amongst western women in today’s day and age. So, it’s something for us to think about in contemporary society nowadays.
- What if you think your standards are too high?
As an international travel site, we asked our friends (experts from an international dating site) for advice: If you think your standards are too high & people get scared & pull away after the first date, perhaps it’s time to think about how you communicate your standards.
I would argue that having high standards and how you communicate them are two separate things. I’d like to point out that how you communicate your standards is paramount. High standards alone don’t scare candidates away. As a matter of fact, having high standards makes you attractive as it shows that you have confidence as well as self-worth. Please note that so much of this is all about how you talk about your standards and your mindset. Frankly, it’s good to scare the wrong people away. However, the issue is if you are blunt, judgmental or cynical due to your communication, you can’t have a very enjoyable date. When you are going out for a date, you’d better focus on having a great time in their company by laughing & making a genuine connection. Remember that you can assess later whether that person is the right person or not. Nevertheless, it’s important to start a date with positivity and an open mind. Your date might close up if they feel that they are being given grades in every aspect.
Don’t forget that being non-judgmental makes it more likely for you to learn who somebody is instead of letting them become more guarded.
