Don't be silly..as golfgirl said, we buy our own :
emancipation can be a good thing also, I know. 
But say in Russia a man would buy a car for his woman.
Yeah..but their vodka is well cheap..therefore the woman probably gets him p!ssed first then takes his money off him for the car

Russian vodka is THE best. (Of course, you should buy in real shops).
Try Kedrovaja, Rshanaja, Putinka, or, if not these, then Russian Standard. Compare these to awful Swedish Absolut.
Don't knock down real Russian vodka until you try it.
Take my word for it, I am Russian who lived half of my life in Sweden.
And Russian women really like and expect a man to court, buy flowers, presents, take them to restaurants and pay for it. WHen money is there, buying a car for the woman is nothing unusual.
I have some European male friends who could not handle their Russian girlfriends because of high demands (flowers etc). "High-maintenance" it is called. On the other hand they all commended them for their femininity, attention, devotion, and love.
Russian women are difficult to handle, but they are the best in the world!
Ukrainians are even better looking, but they are too sly for their own good.
