Olga , I partly do agree with you.Personally I don't expect a woman to come fully dressed up for a meeting with me. I understand how life is in (some parts of) EE. And the daily routine for the people overthere.As I said in another post , a man who comes from a rich country has many more options , than a woman in EE/Russia. I'm speaking of the average middle class male and not the very rich !!!They for sure have other means to spend time in EE. And I also don't expect a woman to take time off from work , just to spend 1 or 2 hours with me. For me it is only normal when she will come after working hours. This will only benfit to the mood , because there is no stress and she don't have to worry about a loss of income , if that is affecting her free time. And for sure , I am aware when she comes from her work , she will not have make up and eye liner. And yes , the man doesn't have to wear a tuxedo/suit. But proper and clean clothes are essential.The man well groomed and with a good mood. Knowing the customs and traditions will take you a long way... Eric
