Hey, hey! Welcome back to another video with me, Conor Clyne, the Language Tsar and yes
you did read the title correctly. In this video I'm going to give you five reasons
never to date a Ukrainian girl and for those of you who are regular viewers of
my channel that title is probably gonna come as a surprise because in my videos you
know I love Ukraine. I love traveling to countries in Eastern Europe and I have
had relationships with girls from the region of course. Maybe in the videos I
give the impression that everything is great. Everything is perfect
and I just want to make this video to explain the downsides of dating
Ukrainian girls and just girls in the former Soviet Union in general for a lot of
these tips that I'm gonna give you and so that you don't fall under the false
illusion that all that glitters is gold as the old adage goes. So the genesis for
this video was some conversations with some friends from the UK, from Germany,
from Italy about their experiences with girls in Ukraine and these are guys who
have come usually for maybe a week, a few days and they've come to experience the
nightlife of Ukraine and of course they were super excited to come to the
country and to experience it but actually overall they were a little bit
negative about their experience with girls in Ukraine, in particular so I was
a bit surprised by that and then I thought back to my my first trips to
Ukraine when I didn't speak Russian. I didn't understand the culture and I
thought yeah it's actually true. I did have a lot of difficulties in the
beginning when I first started traveling in Eastern Europe. So that's what
prompted me to make this video to help you guys who may be starting to travel in
Eastern Europe have maybe even moved to Eastern Europe or are just interested in
going there at some stage that you understand also the downsides and some
of the difficulties that you may have to overcome if you try to date girls in
this region so with that said let's get into today's video. I'm really excited to be
able to share this with you I've also decided to make a short little video
series as a gift to you guys about how you can have your first successful date
with Ukrainian girl. I'm gonna make that video series so if you're interested, I'm gonna
plop a link down in the description below this video. Go sign up there by
email! You'll get an email from me to confirm that your address is real. Click
that and then you're on the mailing list and you will get that free gift. So with that
said let's get into today's video: five reasons never to date a Ukrainian girl!
So in preparation for this video I actually polled a lot of my foreign friends who have
either come to Ukraine on a holiday or actually live here and see what their
reactions and what they think are the downsides to dating Ukrainian women
because obviously the main upside is quite famous around the world which is
the amazing beauty of Ukrainian women so today I'm gonna be going into the five
reasons that most my friends outlined and what I also think about the
downsides, the 5 biggest downsides to dating Ukrainian girls. So that right
behind me is a bank and an ATM and that's the first analogy I'm gonna make
because one of the biggest problems with Ukrainian women is the fact that they use
men as mobile ATMs. Yeah, I mean it's an incredibly traditional society for maybe
North Americans or Western Europeans to adapt to and the role of the man in a
relationship is still seen as that of provider so, you've got to be the guy
making it rain in the club you gotta prove yourself in terms of financial
clout and protect financially the woman and support her so that's something that
really grates a lot of Western men when they come here because of course in
Western Europe and North America, society is a lot more I would say emancipated
for women and they don't necessarily see men as the name breadwinner anymore. I
think that's a intergenerational difference say between my generation and
maybe my father's generation. So that's the first thing is that women use men
foreigners and Ukrainian as mobile ATMs.
The city is actually known really in the former Soviet Union, the Russian-speaking world
as being a city as full of people who are very witty, has his own style speech and its
own particular type of humor одесский юмур that brings me to my next point
which is that Ukrainian girls do not have a sense of humor. It's actually one
that a lot of my English-speaking friends said and I think that's just
because the humor is quite different and humor is not just about cracking the
same universally appreciated jokes or comments on different things that happen
in our lives. It's actually really tied up in with the linguistics of the language
also with the culture of the country. I noticed a big division between my
friends who actually spoke Russian and those who did not.
You know I've learnt Russian and in the beginning did I find Ukraine girls
funny? Well I never really found them unfunny to be honest but definitely now
that I speak the language I appreciate the humor especially here in
Odessa a lot more. I really get it so you've really got to learn the local
language. Here it happens to be Russian for the south of Ukraine or Ukrainian if
you're in Lviv in the West or even in Kiev the capital, you've really got to go
and make that effort otherwise you will not get the humor. It's not them it's you!
So that's my small defence of Ukrainian girls' sense of humor.
So you came to live in you don't speak any Russian or any Ukrainian,
how was your experience? Have you found it difficult or easy to communicate with people?
So how did that work out with Google Translate we were able to have enough
Right there is a sign for a marriage agency.
I guess we would call them by default but kind of a dating agency dating advice
agency. That is a huge business here in Ukraine in the former Soviet [Union] and in
particular the city of Odessa and that's another reason not to date a Ukrainian
girl especially if you in general find them on one of these kind of services or
use an app and that's the other thing that I'm gonna get into right now. Just
to be clear I know nothing about this particular dating agency. Actually they
could be completely honest. They could be dishonest. No idea! It's not
a judgment call on them but it's definitely a topic that a lot of my
British friends have complained about.
So you just caught me playing on Tinder. It's a great app of course to meet
people as you're probably aware of but if you're traveling in Ukraine you
should be aware that sometimes Tinder should come what may be health warning for
your pocket. There are a lot of unscrupulous girls who use Tinder in
order to meet guys not for a romantic experience but just to use them for a
free meal or you know just to be wined and dined basically and a lot of my
friends complained about this, that the girls we met in Ukraine on Tinder in
fact were not interested in really meeting them. They just seem to want to
go to nice places. I'm sure if you're pretty girl you can actually about three
times a day and have all your meals paid for in the best places in the city
without too much problem. That's because most guys are gonna invest in at
least one date if not multiple dates in order to know if anything's gonna happen
with a particular girl. So you should definitely be careful about that. One of
my friends, he was in Kyiv and had a match with Tinder.
They agreed to meet at a restaurant in the center and she said suddenly just when
they were gonna meet, ah 2 of my girlfriends are with me is that okay? He went along
with it, he acquiesced and he said yeah sure and so that's three people on a date which
is just weird let's be honest about it. Why bring two
girlfriends? So anyways they had dinner and he paid the bill because this is Ukraine
and he has to pay the entire tab. That's just the way that the culture works. Then they
went to another place across the street which was a very expensive and famous bar
in Kiev and he told me that when you know maybe 10 minutes later all this
sushi just appeared on the table. These girls have already eaten so they
just ordered it. He didn't speak Russian so he didn't realize that's what they were
ordering. What do you think my friend did in this situation? Do you think he got angry?
No no, there's the better way he just looked at his phone picked up and said
"girls, girls sorry I have to take a business
call. It's very noisy here I'll just be back in a minute. I'm gonna take it outside."
He never came back so be careful!
So the next complaint is that Ukrainian girls completely overestimate their
value. That's something that has happened because a lot of them are
so corrupted by the money that's thrown at them by the foreigners who come to
Ukraine for example lots of Turkish guys, Arabs, Israelis, even Americans come with
all these marriage agencies and they just throw money their way and that kind
of inflates their sense of self-worth. A lot of my British friends also
complained about that that they felt that Ukrainian girls were not really
that impressive other than their looks and they were not offering anything kind
of more for a long-term and yeah that they didn't see them as maybe the big
catch. Maybe that's just their egos. let's see! So the next reason never
to date a Ukrainian girl is the fact that they have awful behavior,
inappropriate behavior on dates and that's because they're normally
completely engrossed in their iPhone probably two latest iPhones that were
presumably bought for them by their sponsors and it's quite often that
you'll see girls with cracked screens and that's because basically for two
reasons. One they couldn't invest in a cover and secondly because they cannot
afford to have the screen fixed. Something I always noticed in Ukraine, a
lot of broken screens on the iPhones.
So that's it for me from this video I've given you guys five reasons having
talked to my friends who are foreigners or in different countries like Italy,
Turkey, US ,Britain about why you should never date a girl. It's not always
like in my video from Odessa where I showed you you know
beautiful weather, a great city, super hot chicks,
great vibe and Ukraine is also like this. Now we're in Kiev and it's cold. It's the
winter time and yeah .... and people are all wrapped up. So definitely you
should take my advice and stay way way way way way clear of those Ukrainian girls!
They are only trouble. I'm telling they're only trouble!
