Beyond Borders: New Developments on Love, Sex, Relationship Differences

Aug. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- A new fad in dating outside your race or dating expats is quickly becoming popular in Russia where interracial marriages are on the rise. Grooms are reportedly being imported from India as these men are the favored choice of Russian women. Writer Chacha Rybas sees this phenomenon as a result of the disparity between the large numbers of women over men in Russia. In the article, it spoke about how writer and publicist, Maria Arbatova, who is currently married to an Indian man herself, sparked a renewed interest in marrying outside the race by openly talking about the benefits of marrying Indian men.

Arbatova expounds and says that, “besides, the success of Indian soap operas in our country suggests a similarity in the idea of a family of Russian provincial girls and Indian suitors”. It is safe to say that many Russian women have no problem with the questions, How can I find true love? or Will I find love? They have found the answers in the form of a cross cultural relationship. This statement puts much emphasis on the merging of similar values and cultures between two races. Of course, not all Indians and Russians are successful at finding their perfect match but with so many thriving interracial marriages, this idea opens up a lot of opportunities for dating outside your own race. With interracial marriages, there is a delicate blend of cultural norms and traditions; making it a unique cultural harmony for the people involved.

While Russia’s challenge in the marriage market and cross cultural relationship is the surplus of women; reports from China suggests a number of human trafficking violations from remote regions where there’s a scarcity in the number of beautiful Chinese girls.  According to Beijing newsroom, the country’s longstanding tradition of preference for boys and the practice of selective abortion have led to the rise in cases of human trafficking involving women and children. In fact, Chinese authorities have actually uncovered at least 39,194 cases of human trafficking since April of 2009.

For countries like Russia and China where there are vast differences in the number of men and women, sex imbalance seems to be an issue that is worth looking into. However, rather than focusing on this as a problem, people should see it as an opportunity for opening themselves to a cross cultural relationship and the merging of two beautiful cultures.  Dating expats is even a trend in most countries like UK where interracial marriages are more accepted by the public or US where there’s cultural diversity. These new developments on statistics about men and women, love and relationships offer us a peek into the future of mixed marriages.

By opening oneself to having a cross cultural relationship, individuals would be able to answer the questions: How can I find true love? or, Will I find love? As many more people explore the option of dating expats, whether in Russia, China or other parts of the world, for economic reasons or for finding true love, the most important thing is to remain and keep an open mind.
