eTyranny: One Out Of Five Women Want To Marry Putin

Despite widespread protests and international condemnation over his authoritarian policies, Vladimir Putin is back to his unrelenting efforts at self-aggrandizement and deification. His aides have organized national celebration of Putin turning 60 this week with fawning politicians like St. Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko proclaiming “Your name is a symbol of a wise politician and a strong leader in Russia and the world.” Yeah, that’s how the world views Putin. In Moscow, an exhibition dedicated to Putin is running at the art center entitled “A Man of the Kindest Soul.” Nevertheless, even if Putin has not succeeded in winning over the world or freedom loving Russians, he has appeared to win over Russian women: one in five Russian women say they want to marry the wannabe dictator. Who needs eHarmony when you can land the perfect dictator on eTyranny?


Of course, when the other available male looks like the guy to the right, Putin looks a lot better for a movie and some late night borscht.

A survey by independent pollster Levada reported that 20 percent of Russian women say they would like to marry him. Heck, even Orthodox Russian priests cannot keep their hands off of him.

I would love to see his online dating profile: “60yo white m looking for attractive fm who is into political domination and does not need free speech. Loves faking archeological digs, naturalist feats, and other impressive displays of machismo.” Putin already has the shirtless pictures ready for posting.

I suppose this proves the adage that women tend to go for the bad boys. . . in this case a liberty-stripping, protest crushing egomaniac.

  2. When I was investigating people I would throw stuff out that really had nothing to do w/ the investigation. I wanted to get a read on the person so I could know what type of approach to take when I got to the serious questions. That’s how I made my living and real smart attorneys[they are out there] paid good money for my services. Gene, everyone says you’re smart. I make my own judgements and after a couple months here I concur, you are very smart. But, like all humans, we’re flawed.

  4. Tough and macho is the most obvious manifestation of male insecurity. The more subtle are the paternalistic, condescending and sanctimonious. They are just as insecure, and often more dangerous. That’s been my experience anyway.

  7. Call me a romantic fool but I suspect that in bed Putin wants to be whipped and called a “bad, bad boy” from his mistress. Many men who strive so hard to be perceived as tough and macho, secretly are quite insecure. Men who are confident in themselves rarely have to prove it to others, they’re just themselves. The saddest thing about Putin is that with all the power he actually has, it seems it is not enough to be feared, he wants to be loved as well.

  10. Elaine, The recent flick starring Leo was ok, but I expected better from him and Clint. Back in the 60’s my buddy says the FBI was almost like a cult, one he never bought into. Therefore, he never moved very far up the ladder.

  12. hidflect, This guy was KGB. It’s like having J Edgar Hoover as president!

    Elaine, I have a friend who is retired FBI. In his younger years, during the Cold War, he worked undercover Soviet counterintelligence. Many of the Soviet operatives were businessmen working in the US. My friend can drink, although he prefers vino. He said he almost became alcoholic trying to keep up w/ these guys drinking vodka. It was important to drink w/ them because as we all know, “En vino veritas.” He would have to wake up and jog 5-10 miles every morning just to sweat out the previous night.
