I need to stop watching these silly Russian dating shows but they are so hilarious that I need them to help me grade.
A 75-year-old man is looking “for a woman between the ages of 25 and 35 who is interested in having a lot of sex.”
“With whom?” I ask the second I hear this.
It turns out that the gentleman is looking for a rich 25-year-old because he has no money.
I will let you figure out why he came to this show on your own.
P.S. It took me a while to figure out how to understand these Russian shows until I realized that you need to add 15 years to everybody’s age to understand what the hell people are on about. So this rich gentleman is about 90 years old in terms of our North American vision of age. For instance, when you see a 25-year-old say, “I need to get married and start having children now because my time is running out” and everybody nods, just imagine that this person is 40 and things become at least somewhat more understandable.
P.P.S. There is a lot of grading that awaits me this semester, people, so prepare yourselves for many cross-cultural posts. I apologize in advance to everybody who hates such posts. My teaching duties are sacred.
