Russian men are, essentially, like Pepe Le Pew


DISCLAIMER!! Naturally this doesn't apply to all Russian guys, so please, no getting panties in a twist
Oh that’s right. I’m back with Russian-offending avengence!

Where have i been you ask? Nowhere and everywhere. I would have updated earlier, but the piece I had written about me and my friend’s little soiree down into Tula land got corrupted and I don’t have it in me to rewrite it.
Ironically, the text was left idle for about a month, so that will teach me for being lazy.

Or maybe it won’t, but in any case Russian men, i apologise in advance, but here it comes baby!

They are, in fact, much like Pepe. some of you may wonder who that is, possibly even mistaking him for a chic French fashion designer. well, Ive got bad news.



this is pepe
How, so you may ask??
Well, Pepe isn't all bad, ill start with that. He is a lover of the ladies and will peruse his target ruthlessly to the end, literally romanticizing them into submission.The funny thing about Pepe is that, even when the girl doesn't want him (which was most of the time, if my memory serves me correctly), he was still unshakable in his belief that he was the best, and most sexually romantic thing going.

Good for the self esteem? shit yes! 
Slightly delusional mindset with information not based on real time feedback? - also yes  

As for the men

the real men 

Well, just to clarify, they are not like Pepe in all respects, but I seem to see that many are like Pepe when it comes to the game of picking up girls, or gaming them, if you will.Typically these are my observations made from out and about in bars and clubs, and to a certain extent, on the street (although less common).

One the one hand, you have to take your hats off and congratulate a lot of these Russian guys, because they truly seem fearless in their approaching of women of all standards.

Hell, sometimes it even works! (especially  the case if the guy is decent looking, good energy or just gives a positive first impression overall)

but more often, they will be shut down within about five minutes. Some of them, who seem to be almost totally socially unaware, outstay their ‘welcome’, or pull all kinds of weird stuff - all of which is highly amusing. Failing that, they fall into the roll of clown entertainer, free-drink machine or non-sexual excellent friend material (otherwise known as the three things all women secretly want but are afraid to admit. and yes, and yes, that was sarcasm).

Maybe another plus here is that the rejection seems not really to bother them at all. They'll tool up together, grinning like the proverbial naughty schoolboys about to execute some audacious prank, bore some girls stupid for 5 minutes, orbit around them for another 5 and then roll on - totally unfazed. Much like Pepe, because they know all women want them.

curious...

Also, Ive known examples of guys who have managed to weather down an uninterested girl for literally months and months, self esteem taking not a hint of damage, until they finally get her (but of course, you never know whether you have no chance or whether you just didn't work hard enough yet). I’m always surprised when one of them manages to somehow plough through the friend zone, because us men know, that fucking friend zone is harder to escape than Alcatraz.

Piece of cake compared to the FZ

Maybe this is because in Russia there is the view that добиваться надо! but, to each his own. (I have my thoughts as to whether or not this is a great foundation for a relationship).

My little theory on this is based in the fact that in Russia there are more women than men, generally they are physically very attractive and also (because of the lack of ‘good’ men) are more women willing to compete and kill each other with jealousy (Just on firday I saw a girl try to sabotage her friend)

I think on some level, the average Russian guy probably doesn't care so much because, let’s face it, there is less supply than demand and they can also rock on to somebody else, which is fair enough, but in any case, they still have the rock solid ego of Pepe Le Pew. Sometimes this helps, other times it doesn't.

-----

Ps - The night I wrote this (not published), me and my friend we out and I saw the worst possible example of this in the world. The guy was so bad I even videoed him. Even after the girls refused his free drinks, he still bought them, harassed them to drink them, eventually gave up and had to walk around the bar offering other people the free drinks. Nobody else even wanted them.

But that wasn't enough, he came right back and sat next to them, ruining yet more of their night.
He was also oblivious to them begging the bar man to get rid of him or do something.

But no, in his mind, I’m sure, he was the ultimate seduction machine. In fact, he was just a pushy, drunk dick with no social intuition that successfully ruined a large portion of two girls’ night.
