Russian woman knows that she is a woman and she likes it... deep inside she feels like a tender, weak and beautiful being created to have a family and children.
American woman knows that she is a personality and she has the same rights as any man to show her worth. So she doesn't differ from him much in her inner world :).
Women's appearance: Russian woman are slim enough in most cases. American ones... - we don't have the data. Russian women use make up, pay much attention to their hair-does, dye hair and use nail varnish. American women seldom use make up to intensify their brightness. It is considered to be a bad taste as "only prostitutes use bright make up and luxuriant hair-does".
Clothes: Russian woman do their best to be beautiful. They dress sexually enough. They prefer slinky clothes, gauzy ones, and any other that would accentuate and show :) all values of their figure: bust, slim legs, hips... To loose her sexuality for a Russian woman means to loose her feminity namely high self-esteem. BUT this sexuality is not the one which aims at making sex only. It is the urge to be desired, that is to say a woman any man seeks after and wants to gain.
American women dress up in rather baggy clothes. They put on clothes that hide all particular qualities of the figuire, breast, legs. There is a wide-spread opinion in Russia that American women are always dressed in wide jeans, sneakers, football jersey, and T-shirt on it. And there is a personality under it all. This way being of dressed is an absolute lack of taste from a Russian woman's viewpoint. This is concerned with the fact that slinky dresses, short skirts and gauzy mantelets in America only moviestars and women who make hints about sex to men wear (but only at home).
