Official / UnikSeru-Orang Indonesia is usually proud if you have a lover / spouse of a stranger. Foreigners here do not include dark-skinned people, like Nigerians or Zimbabweans, but alien here more towards white people, especially western ones. I do not know what makes most Indonesians "proud" if they marry foreigners, some statements that often joke with a joke is that marrying a stranger can "fix the offspring." Hmm, I do not know who triggered such a reason?
**Of course the above reasons can not be generalized to many people. There are also Indonesian people who have foreign couples because of sincere love and no-frills descent and so forth. So do not be surprised if the case of javanese men with brown skinned skin suddenly visited by a beautiful white Caucasian girl from Italy, you must have heard it, right? News coverage in the media relative lebay highlight it, as if it was extraordinary. Then how the hell actually, the outsider's view of Indonesian men?
This time the author would like to invite you to know the opinion of Russian girls in assessing Indonesian men. The people who are consulted here do not necessarily conclude how the Russian women look as a whole, but only as a snapshot of the picture, that such a view exists and is perceived by them. Nevertheless there are common reasons, which may be "average" in response to Indonesian men.
According to Anastasia Prilipko, Russian Girl from Sankt Peterburg
This beautiful girl who speaks fluent Indonesian expresses her admiration for Indonesian man. Despite having been abused by Indonesians while in Bali, when his bag was stolen, he actually thought the men in Indonesia the average is good. Some Indonesian boys who become his friends even have a good relationship with Anastasia, like underarm he was sick, his friends were visiting him, bringing fruits, and water. Some of the boys of Indonesia according to Anastasia there also who look attractive, educated, and have a modern view of life.**
**"I think the difference between Indonesian boys and Russian boys is that Indonesian guys are more shy and simple," said the girl who was awarded a scholarship in this excursion in Surabaya.
Quoted from id.rbth.com (accessed 21/03/2018), Anastasia admitted did not close the opportunity to establish relationships with Indonesian men. He has seen some Russian women marry Indonesian men and they are happy to live a household life, even though some are divorced. The challenge is only cultural differences, if both parties can handle it, why not?
According to Tatiana Gromenko, Russian Girl from Tver**
**Berbeda dengan Anastasia, Tatiana mempunyai pandangan lain tentang cowok Indonesia. Menurutnya, seperti dikutip dari laman id.rbth.com (diakses 21/03/2018), pria Indonesia memiliki keberanian yang tinggi dalam mendekati perempuan, berbeda dengan pria Rusia yang biasanya pemalu saat ingin berkenalan untuk pertama kali. Namun pria Indonesia yang berasal dari daerah pedesaan agaknya memiliki mentalitas yang berbeda dengan yang perkotaan, menurutnya hal itu akan mempersulit dirinya untuk bergaul dengan pria semacam itu. Lebih dari itu, gadis Rusia yang pandai berbahasa Indonesia ini mengaku tak tertarik lagi dengan pria Indonesia, sebab sudah memiliki cinta sejati dengan pria Rusia. Kendati demikian, seandainya ia masih jomblo, barangkali ia juga akan mempertimbangkan dalam menjalin hubungan dengan pria Indonesia. Dan menurutnya, pria Indonesia itu ramah.
Menurut Maria Mitsura, Gadis Rusia dari Cheboksary**
**Maria Mitsura has a bitter experience with Indonesian men. The girl who was studying her S2 at Moscow State University blatantly said that most Indonesian men she met were not polite. Maria even compares it to the Southeast Asian men she once met, she travels around the world often, and claims she has never found a men in Indonesia. Indonesians seem to have a high curiosity about Caucasians, and that's what makes her say if Indonesian men are different. When asked about the possibility of establishing a relationship with Indonesian men, Maria admitted reluctant to melakukkannya and prefer a love relationship with a Russian man who has the same cultural background.
"It's hard to really get together with people of different cultures," says Maria.
Of course, the above statement is just a small portrait of Russian women's view of Indonesian men. Each has a different experience, though the key word that can be derived from their assumption is that Indonesian man: friendly and simple. Moreover, in order to establish a more serious relationship with a foreigner, it seems that a qualified personality is needed, relating to life view, education, language, and cultural adaptation.
