Eastern European ladies are well-known for their values, femininity and elegance. It is said that these women are ideal girlfriends.
- Eastern European women don’t waste money.
Adam is an Australian guy who is dating an Eastern European lady. Last year I interviewed his girlfriend, an intelligent woman with a wealth of wisdom.
ME: Today is Boxing Day and you are happy to do this interview. Could you tell me why not going shopping on Boxing Day is probably a wise decision?
HER: Today is Boxing Day in Australia and the shopping malls are full of shoppers. But I never go shopping on Boxing Day & here are my reasons:
1. Boxing Day’s sales make people buy things they don’t really need.
Being able to tell the difference between things you want and things you need is very important for your financial success.
If you are interested in becoming financially successful, this is a very helpful question to ask –
Before you buy something, ask yourself, “Do I want this? Or do I need it?” If you need it, you should buy it. But if you want it, just don’t buy it.
On Boxing Day, everyone is busy looking at discounts rather than whether these are necessities or not. Therefore, people are more likely to buy things they don’t even need on Boxing Day.
2. Shopping on Boxing Day is very time-consuming, which means you’ll lose time in the process. And time is your most precious asset.
Many people are very careful when it comes to spending their money, but in terms of spending their time, they spend it like billionaires!
Because the queue is too long on Boxing Day, you’ll have to waste a lot of your time while shopping on this day – Some shoppers were waiting in the queue before 5am this morning! And the shops weren’t open until 9am or even 11am!
If I get a bargain on Boxing Day, it may save me $50 or even $100. However, I will never waste hours for that bargain because that amount of time brings me more money than what the bargain saves me.
I hope this makes sense and can help retail workers get some more rest during the Christmas holidays in the future.
I really admire this beautiful Eastern European lady’s insight into money and time. When Adam told me that his girlfriend is a successful businesswoman in Australia now, I wasn’t surprised at all.
- Eastern European women have realistic expectations.
Unlike western women who think they deserve the best at all times, Eastern European ladies tend to have more realistic expectations, so it’s hard to let them down!
Ted’s partner is an Eastern European lady who has shared her insights into realistic expectations with me.
ME: What’s the difference between western women’s expectations and Eastern European women’s expectations?
HER: A while ago, I watched a YouTube video called ‘A Drink with Louise Roe’ in which fashion blogger Louise Roe talks about why western women have extremely high expectations in every area of their lives. I think the mainstream media taught western women to be that way. But in Eastern European culture, women are more practical. Instead of looking for “the dream guy”, we are happy to date “the real guy”.
ME: Indeed. When we pursue perfection, we always feel that we are not good enough. Yet when we pursue progress, we can feel we are good enough.
HER: Yes. Perfection doesn’t exist, so it’s impossible to reach. Brene Brown once said, “Perfection is a self-destructive and addictive belief system which fuels this primary thought: If I look perfect, and do everything perfectly, I can avoid or minimize the painful feelings of shame, judgment and blame.” Too many western women spend too much time trying to perfect something before they actually take action. Instead of waiting for perfection, I’d rather run with what I’ve got and fix it as I go.
“Eastern European ladies are more youthful, frugal and practical.”
