Well, majority is very... Russian. I guess it's a cultural thing, but I wouldn't touch them even with a ten-foot pole.
why?

  • Looks. If I go to Karlovy Vary or random porn site, I can almost always tell whether the woman is Russian, or not. Some of them are textbook examples of sluttiness (based on looks).
  • Behavior. My experience is that Russian tourists are the most arrogant in the whole Europe. For example a woman that insisted on entering the St. Peter's Basilica dressed as a slut. Yeah, she was Russian.
  • Nationalism. AFAIK many Russians still believe that the Russian Empire can exist again; I've heard random Russians say stuff like "Czechoslovakia 1968? 10/10, would invade again".
  • Mentality.  It's hard to explain... Anyone who's read byliny and compared them to other European folklore probably knows what I mean. Completely different values. It's like when Americans occupied Japan after WW2 and had hard time understanding Japanese culture and society.

regardless, calling women sluts is a bad look bro

Ohh, dating advice?  I suck at that.

So there's a cute social worker at one of the nut houses I visit as part of my job.  How do I ask her out without it being awkward?  Ask her to grab a coffee or lunch one day?  Ask her hiking?  Regal her with stories about how I fended off the crazy hoards to see her?  Piss my pants out of nervousness and awkwardly leave?

Awaiting demik's answer about how I'm a ***** and wuss and how I need to HTFU.

Sure, just ask her out to coffee :3

Just end one of your happier conversations with "Hey...[slight pause]...do you wanna grab a cup of coffee sometime?" /smile.

If you are less of a nut case than the others around her, you start off with some advantage, at least.

Coffee or lunch is as benign and non-threatening as it gets. Try to walk in around break time.

I have been married for almost 22 years, and our first date was a hike in the mountains.
