I guess this is directed to me? I don't know about CR, but Russian men often also have a case of the "look at my clothes, everybody" virus. (Not meaning to generalize about 145 million people -- I should say "the men I notice on the street.") But for women it can be off the scale. Rather sexist society you know. Maybe it's also linked to their having being a lot more women after the war for obvious reasons (USSR lost something like 30% of the draftable generation) combined with the social pressure to get married quickly and thus incentive to appear as attractive as possible.
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
