First and foremost - we (USA and Russia) have a very different history. Just 30 years ago sex was considered something shameful to talk on public or even in circle of close friends. You, an another hand, had another 20-30 years, hippie "culture" and rock'n'roll ^_^ Go figure...
Russian men are patriarchal alpha males, and feel obligated to look after women at all times. Simply - no. Again, it's mostly applies to men about 30-50 years old. New generation has grown in different time, BUT even among us exist like 40% of assholes, like one in thread about circumcised men. Even worse - they are often cruel to women on inhuman scale. Seen this enough...
egotistical 'sex is a favor that women do for men' mentality That is somewhat true :) I know enough men that venomously refused to do that. Me personally - well, "Do unto others as you want to do to you" (google translate, hope accurate). And to hold center of a screaming woman is a it's own kind of pleasure :)
love in a Russian man is expressed in a type of tender savagery. That i can't argue. Mostly because i never seen that.
Is it true that casual sex isn't common in Russia? I find this very hard to believe. Depends how old is a person who you ask. It more common among young. But considering how bad they use contraception, and how many abortions we have (firs place in the whole big world. Awful kind or record) i consider casual sex a bad thing. Growing without father... is hard.
In the end, it seems Russian men are more chivalrous than American men. I'm sorry but it's a bullshit! It's not chivalry, it's golden dust in your eyes.
I can afford to pay for my own meal and see no reason why a man should pay for it. And that where many russian women will disagree with you :) It's like a program in their DNA (or more likely result of their mothers words in childhood) - money almost a most important thing in their relationships. I kind of can understand that - life in Russia is hard, especially outside Moscow and Central Russia - but it's kinda killing all romance :(
