Why are Ukrainian women so beautiful?
There are several reasons for this. First, Ukrainians are of different ethnic groups: native Ukrainians, Russians, Poles, Belarusians, Tatars, Jews, and many other peoples. It’s no secret that children from a combination of different nationalities are usually beautiful. Secondly, it is a fertile country with a good, mild climate, better and more natural food, vegetables, fruits, meat, and so on. And this greatly affects the appearance of women.
Where to meet Ukrainian models?
The easiest way is to get acquainted with a model at a fashion show, but since not everyone has the opportunity to be at such an event, you need to look for workarounds. You can meet models in night clubs where girls often like to spend time. If you watch your body, then go to the gym. In addition, you can just get acquainted on the street. You may not set yourself the goal of finding a model, but in the process of communicating with a girl, you will learn about her profession.
What are the lifehacks of dating Ukrainian models?
Care about them – open the door to let a girl go ahead, help her bring the purchases after going to the store, provide any other help the chosen one needs. Show confidence because it is associated with sexuality for many ladies. It helps start getting to know each other, getting maximum pleasure from the process of communication. And of course, compliment them. Make Ukrainian models feel unique.

Alla Kostromycheva is my favorite in this list. Really. Many of my friends do not consider her beautiful, but for me, she is ideal. She is a tall, slim, beautiful, and successful woman. I follow her on Instagram and she is amazing! Alla has worked on shows for Prada, Hermes, Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent, Maison Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen and Lanvin, starred in Russian, Italian, British and Japanese Vogue, was the face of Bottega Veneta and DSquared. Doesn't that mean she's a talent? I really like her although many people don’t consider her perfect. I'm probably even looking for a girl who has the same appearance.

I think I fell in love with Natalia Gotsiy. I say right away and without a bit of pretense or exaggeration: she is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. Natalya Gotsiy is a girl with an impeccable appearance, which is so harmoniously complemented by spiritual beauty and incredibly light energy. Moreover, after I read her biography, I realized that she is not only beautiful, but also a smart and feminine woman. It is so difficult to find such girls today. She seems to be perfect. And even after everything that happened to her in life, she stays so strong. Wow, it’s amazing!
