"Dear Norman,
It may be difficult for you to understand the situation. I will try to explain.
First of all historically it happenend that there are more women in my country than men,
secondly some percentage of men (Russian habit) like to drink. And the most serious reason is
that after the country fell apart and the economic situation began to deteriorate dramatically,
it happened that women turned out to be more flexible and succeeded in finding their place in new
life better than many men. So it became difficult to meet a worthy man. From the first two reasons you
can guess that strong competition between women for good men made us look beautiful, educated, alert
and smart, while men became lazy and stopped taking care of themselves."
