As a whole, foreigners distinguish as the most significant characteristic of the "Ukrainian girl” - her beauty (the beauty of her body) 25 % of all contexts. For example, "The Ukrainian women are not only beautiful, they are madly beautiful, so beautiful, that words can’t help with it", "I often go across Europe and have seen many nice women, but now I understand, that such a tremendous charming and womanly girls can be found only in Ukraine or Russia". The beauty reveals through the appeal, charm, sexuality, refinement, elegance, etc. Feminity is a very significant there ("They are more womanly. Ukraine girls use make up and keep more womanly, than the Swiss one"). It is noticed, that Ukrainian women look after themselves, have the feeling of taste which helps them to look well. In the most different contexts it is often spoken about the beauty of their eyes: "They have extraordinary beautiful eyes "and" They are all witches! And her eyes are, probably, green and also sparkling! One will be charmed and robed at once".

Exclusiveness of the Russian or Ukrainian girls (13 %) approaches with the given characteristic: foreigners believe, that she is like an enigma unlike the other women, she is much more better than the others: "Modern Ukrainian women are able to combine slavic mysteriousness and the European refinement" by most incomprehensible way "I do not know, why they are such attractive". Also foreigners distinguish such quality of the Ukranian girls, as independence (9 %): "Lovely, touching, sacrificial creations" appeared to be rather vigorous, businesslike and energetic, resisting to any encroachment upon their rights"; "Independence of Ukrainian women, their insubordination to traditional social, behavior and sexual norms ". Though, it seems not to be a dominant in their behavior as there are statements of foreigners about sincere qualities of the Ukrainian women and her role in a family. For example," the General opinion of the western men: Ukrainian women are kinder, more careful, and they are good wives"; "For me Russian or Ukrainian are women who devote herself entirely to the men - to fathers, to sons, and most of all, to the husbands and lovers. In this meaning there are no equal to them. Among sincere qualities are marked: kindness, warm-heartedness, humanity, sincereness, ability to love, care, fidelity ("the openness to the sincere contacts is the distinctive feature of Ukraine girls") – in other words those qualities which are not peculiar to the aggressively emancipated type of behavior.

Among other characteristics are marked: an emotionality of behavior (6 %), ability to organize communications (5 %), high professionalism (5 %), aggressive behavior (4 %), high mental abilities (4 %), popularity among men (4 %), immoral behavior (3 %), dependence upon men (3 %) and courage (2 %). It is interesting, that the foreigners highly appreciate mental abilities of Ukrainian women: "What the difference between the Russian or Ukrainian blonde from the blonde woman in general? The Russian blonde is able to play chess", "a high educational level and vocational training".

The general attitude to Ukrainian and Russian girls is rather positive, though is not the same. The most positive comments are from Americans and Japanese, less positive - from Frenchmen and Italians, and the mast negative are from Germans (for example, "Their women are like prostitutes", "One used to be afraid of insidious Ukrainian women, not less then insidious Russian mafia", etc.)
