Ukrainian Girls

If you have been to Russia, you don't need to know much because there are almost no differences except a few between Russian and Ukrainian girls. Ukrainian girls are loyal, kind, polite, and family-oriented. Ukrainian girls, from a very young age, are brought up with the importance of having a family. Therefore don't be surprised if you find a Ukrainian girl and within, and she talks about marriage on the first date itself. These girls are usually very kind, friendly, and welcoming. Exceptions do exist, but most girls you will meet will be nice and friendly. Ukrainian girls focus a lot on their looks. They want to impress guys, and there is a reason for that. The number of girls in Ukraine is more than the number of males in Ukraine. Therefore, Ukrainian girls want to find a man and settle down as quickly as possible. Because of the increase in tourism, Ukrainian girls are at ease because they now get plenty of options to choose from. Therefore, if you want to have a long-term commitment, Ukraine is the perfect place. Moreover, Ukrainian girls are the perfect wife material as they offer humility, loyalty, and kindness.

Apart from Ukrainian girls, you will find a significant number (17.3%) of Russian girls, as well. Russian girls are almost similar to Ukrainian girls. However, Russian girls might not be as desperate to create a family as Ukrainian girls. Russian girls, moreover, will initially judge you by your looks whereas, Ukrainian girls will judge you by your secured future. Ukraine used to be a popular tourist attraction until 2012, attracting around 20 million tourists per year. However, the number has reduced to 10 million per year, but still, it remains to be a popular tourist destination in Europe. Most of the tourists are from Western Europe, along with some Eastern countries like Turkey and Israel.

RatingLooks Looks of girls: 4 / 5

Nobody will disagree with the fact that Ukrainian girls are one of the prettiest girls on the planet. Ukrainian girls look a lot similar to Russian women with typical Slavic features. Ukrainian women have long noses, which are often pointy, dark hair, and dark eyes. Since Ukrainian girls dress to impress, you will find most of them attractive. They don't reveal much, but still, look quite attractive and tempting.

RatingAttitude Attitude of girls: 4 / 5

Similar to Russian girls, Ukrainian girls are kind, polite, and friendly. Some of them are slightly conservative, but that is because of their shyness and not arrogance or ignorance. Ukrainian girls are not intrigued by casual hookups and always look for long, sustainable relationships. Getting married and making a family is what many Ukrainian girls desire. However, in big cities like Kyiv and Kharkiv, you might find more liberal women who don't mind engaging in casual hookups.

How to Pick Up Girls

Picking up girls is not hard, but can be slightly tricky in Ukraine because Ukrainian girls are always interested in marriage. Assuming that you are not willing to get married in Ukraine, you should be careful and choosy while picking up girls. The first step you should take if you want to pick up girls chooses the ideal city. If you are trying to get laid quickly, there is no need for you to look outside these three cities: Kiev, Kharkiv, and Odessa. If you are visiting on a short trip, Kyiv is enough in itself to provide you easy hookups. If you are staying for a few weeks or months, you can explore more cities.

Firstly, check if the girl is single or not. Because of the uneven gender ratio, all Ukrainian girls make sure they quickly get into relationships. Therefore, the chances are that you might find a lot of girls that are in a relationship. If a girl is alone and you have not spotted any guy around her for a while, you can consider it has a green signal. After confirming that she is single, figure out whether she has a conservative mindset or an open-minded mindset. A girl who is wearing revealing clothes and is walking around confidently can be considered as an open-minded girl. These are the girls you need to target.

Now that you have chosen a girl, all you need to do is approach her nicely.

Don't expect to get a date from the first girl you meet. Try talking to girls, try different pickup lines, and try picking up at different spots. Ukrainians are good in English, but talking to them in Ukrainian will give you an extra edge. Therefore, learning some words or sentences in Ukrainian is worth the pain. Some girls might ignore you, some might reject, and some might show interest in you. The more you try, the more chances of success you have. Because of significant tourism in the country, you will get ample opportunities to pick up foreign tourists as well.

RatingPickup Chance of picking up: 3.75 / 5

The chances of p[icking up girls are very good, especially during the nighttime in cities like Kyiv. The girls are kind, approachable, and affable. Moreover, because of the scarcity of men in Ukraine, Ukrainian girls are constantly looking for relationships. Ukraine also provides the chances of long-term relationships, and if you are looking to get married or have a serious relationship, Ukraine is ideal for that purpose too.

Tips for Daytime

The daytime in bigger cities of Ukraine is dry and boring on the weekdays. Ukraine has close to 100 percent women education, which means almost all girls go to school and college. The older ones would either be at work, or at home taking care of their family. Therefore, picking up locals might not be favorable on the weekdays. However, on the weekends, you can have a lot of opportunities. All young women come out to spend their weekends having fun and shopping. You will find girls in malls, markets, cafes, restaurants, and many other popular places.

During the first half of the day (10 am - 2 pm), try focusing more on restaurants and cafes because many people prefer having their lunch outside on weekends. If you visit popular eating spots or cafes, the chances are that you can find a significant number of single girls. In the second half of the day (2 pm - 6 pm), try concentrating more on shopping malls and markets. Kyiv has some excellent shopping malls which are worth trying. Avoid visiting bars and clubs during the daytime as you will rarely find any people.

On weekdays, you can try picking up tourists. As mentioned above, Ukraine welcomes around 10 million tourists per year, most of which arrive in April-May. If you visit Ukraine during this period, you can expect a lot of tourists all over the place. Moreover, Ukraine has some excellent tourist spots you should not miss out on. Some popular tourist attractions in Ukraine are:

In some countries, online dating might be optional, but in Ukraine, it is not. Online dating is a deciding factor in Ukraine, and you should give your best to pick up girls online. Lastly, give your best in the nighttime. The nighttime is excellent for picking up girls in Ukraine but can be tedious if you give up or don' put in efforts. Try visiting as many clubs as possible and try talking to as many girls as possible to get the best results and get laid quickly.
