You probably know several Russian or Ukrainian brides named Anastasia since it is one of the most popular names given to females of the former Soviet Union. Like the Greek male name Anastasius, it means “resurrection” and was the name of several early saints. One of the most famous was Anastasia of Sirmium, a 4th century Christian saint who was martyred during the persecutions of the Roman emperor Diocletian.

Another popular Anastasia was the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Legends about her mysterious survival from her family’s massacre have circulated for years and many Russian women have claimed to be the Grand Duchess. It wasn’t until 2008 that Russian scientists finally confirmed that the 17-year-old Tsarina was indeed executed alongside her family in 1918 by the Bolshevik secret police.

A long list of Russian actresses, athletes, and singers share this name, including Billiards Champion Anastasia Luppova, Dart Champion Anastasia Dobromyslova, and Ukrainian singer Anastasia Kamenskikh. Some ladies prefer the nickname Nastya.

You have probably received or sent roses at least once in your life. Besides the obvious "Someone has thought of me", what do roses say? Roses and their colors have different meanings. So before you send your next bouquet or after you have received one, you need to read this. Is there a secret message behind that delivery?

As most people may know, the traditional bouquet of red roses signifies love. But nowadays, depending on who you ask, red roses can be described as anything from a classic bouquet of flowers to original and boring. One thing is certain however, red roses remain the most popular of them all.

Know thyself.

These words were inscribed in the vestibule of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

For centuries, petitioners seeking advice from the oracle at Delphi would view the inscription. Philosophers throughout the ages offered this same advice to their students. These words are as valuable today as they were almost three thousand years earlier.

I was at an Internet cafe the other day and noticed something worth sharing with you.

Seated next to me in the next computer cubicle was a very lovely lady in her mid 20′s.

Now because we were seated so closely to each other and because there was only a tiny partition between each cubicle… Everyone could easily see what everybody else was doing.

Now let me say first off that I respect people’s privacy but when you are in this situation it’s pretty hard NOT to see what the other person is doing on their computer.

Anyways this lady was busy navigating her way through an American dating site and corresponding with a gentlemen who had listed his profile online.

Now even though I personally believe that there is no real substitute for actually going out into the world and meeting prospective dates in person..

I’m not blind to the fact that this is still a positive thing since the spread of the internet gives a growing number of these ladies more chances to expand their relationship choices beyond their hometown.

I just got done reading a rather disparaging article about how big the Russian mafia Dating Scam industry ...

And it's not "pretty picture" ...

Even if the whole process is a scam he started with thousands of images of beautiful women floating around on the Internet.

You've heard stories that I'm sure, but here's what the major British newspaper Daily Mail reports.

Natalia Vodianova has been on our radar before, and it's always interesting to see how successful young lady, as it moves through life.

Apparently she was very busy in the tradition of a real Russian lady as a young age of 27 she was a devoted wife and mother of 3 children.

It certainly qualifies as a super woman in my book.

This is especially true given how difficult it is to overcome and poor childhood, but continues to reach out to help other children.

Obviously there are many obvious reasons for this.

However, there now seems to be the real evolutionary purpose of why our instincts to work the way they do.

And perhaps this is the most important reason of all, because ...

Our genes naturally lead us men for younger women in order to promote longer life.
