Romanian women are some of the most famous women in European culture. For one reason or another, their fame crossed Romanian borders, and Romanian women have become some of the most talked-about and admired beauties in Romania.
As most of our readers are expats living in Romania or foreigners interested in news and facts about Romania, today’s post could be of interest to all of them. It presents some of the natural, historical, and cultural features that define Romanian women.
That’s why we will try to pay homage to all Romanian women and offer additional and valuable pieces of the puzzle to those who would like to learn more about this interesting subject.
To avoid being accused of anything, we have to tell our readers that this post is written by a girl. This has to be underlined, as we will present you not only the famous qualities of Romanian women but also some other less appreciated characteristics.
Characteristics of Romanian women
Worldwide, women differentiate themselves based on some specific characteristics: their height, the colour of their skin, their hair, their beauty, or their general physical traits. In Romania, particularly, women are known for their beauty.
That being said, you must wonder what Romanian women’s characteristics are. Since you popped the question, you should know that women in Romania are mostly fair-skinned, dark-haired, and have brown eyes. Of course, some Romanian women have fair hair, natural or dyed blond, and blue or green eyes.
There is a slight difference between Romanian women from one region to another. One thing they have in common, as already mentioned, is that most of them are fair-skinned. If you go to Transylvania, Moldova, or Bucovina, you will notice that a good percentage of the women have light hair along with green or blue eyes. Moving to the south, in Muntenia and Oltenia, you will see that the tone of their hair and eyes got darker.
Pay attention – not everything is about physical characteristics, right? Once you travel to Romania, you will discover how Romanians’ personalities are influenced by Romanian culture. The most distinctive trait of Romanians, including women, is their ability to complain. They will surely find one even if they don’t have any reason to complain! Thus, it is pretty hard to keep up with a Romanian woman.
On top of that, women, mainly from Romania, love to gossip! No matter the subject, you will always find Romanian women gossiping with their group of friends, at work, or wherever they are. Be worry-free because they will never do that to their partner.
Lastly, remember that 86% of the Romanian population is religious. Therefore, you have a high chance of ending up with a religious woman, not all of them churchgoers but believers to a certain point. On the other hand, they know how to have fun. Dating a Romanian woman will come together with many outings, parties, and social gatherings.
Every person is different, but overall these are the characteristics you will find in most Romanian women, like it or not.
Why are Romanian women so beautiful?
If you didn’t know, Romanian women are most famous in Europe for their beauty. Romania is among the top 20 countries where you can find beautiful women. Each region of the country shapes women’s charm when it comes to physical appearance as well as personality.
Apart from their native beauty, which is found in Romanian genes, women take good care of themselves. This is why we say that Romanian women have everything a man is looking for. Therefore, one can say Romanian women are beautiful inside out.If you ask Romanian men, of course, they’ll find some reasons to complain about the beauty level of their partners but ignore their sayings. In our opinion, they had too many beautiful women in their lives, and they no longer appreciated beauty.
Anyway, beauty is not the only thing that defines Romanian women. They are also intelligent, diligent, and kind-hearted. On top of that, they know how to cook well. Ultimately, they’re good mothers and dedicated lovers. While in a relationship, God forbid you to mistreat a Romanian woman or don’t appreciate her efforts for you!
One popular saying goes like this: “a woman should behave like a lady while in public, like a chef in the kitchen and like a hooker in bed”. We don’t know if this is a Romanian or an international saying; all we know is that this is so popular in the Romanian culture. And, of course, we cannot say if the Romanian women succeeded in accomplishing this cliché, which set the imagination of the Romanian men on fire.
Are Romanian women smart?
Yes, Romanian women are wise. Do not try to trick a Romanian woman; it’s obsolete, and you’ll have little chance of winning her heart in that way.
The Romanian men tried all these tricks on them, and all they did was fail over and over. Do not repeat their mistakes!
In exchange, try to approach a Romanian woman by genuinely complimenting her and having a nice and intelligent conversation. You’ll find out this is the way to a Romanian woman’s heart.
What you need to know about dating a Romanian woman
We can all agree that dating is not easy, especially when dating a Romanian woman. There are a few things you should keep in mind. Be aware that these are general tips for most Romanian women. This doesn’t necessarily apply to the woman you date. Romanian women are all unique, remember!
To begin with, if you are a foreigner trying to date a Romanian woman, you already have an extra point! Many Romanian women prefer dating foreigners over the men they can find in their country. Even so, you must pay attention to details that will make all the difference.
As we previously mentioned, being a foreigner is already a plus. Romanians are open-minded and always curious to find out more about other cultures. This is the time to use your charm! Share your culture and lifestyle and try to teach her a few words in your native language, this, of course, if your native language is not English. Romanians are good English speakers. If this is the case, you should try to let her teach you a few Romanian words.
However, keep the conversations flowing by asking her about Romania. In this way, you will get a better understanding not only of Romanian culture but also of her. You can also get some Romanian language classes to impress her even more.
Another thing you should know about dating a Romanian woman is that family has a special place in her life. Do not hesitate to meet her friends and family. Since Romania is very family-oriented, the family’s opinion matters the most. If you managed to impress them, you already have the green light!
If you reached the point of visiting her family, you should prepare yourself to handle it. The golden rule is never to say no to food. The family often arranges everything, so you must be polite and appreciate the effort. Before you go, we advise you to always bring something with you. Whether it is a bottle of wine, desserts, or flowers, do not come empty-handed!
How to impress Romanian women
Romanian women are known for their beauty and intelligence, but you need more than a bouquet to impress a girl from this country. Here are some tips on what to do to win a Romanian woman’s heart:
To impress your Romanian date, learn a few simple phrases
While most Romanians understand at least one language, most commonly English, learning a few essential Romanian words will wow your date. You can learn online, through classes, or by asking the individual to teach you and then teaching her some fundamental phrases in your language. This will also help you become more acquainted with Romanian culture.
Be kind and respectful
Romanian women are pleasant and well-behaved, so expect the same from them, especially if you’re dating them. In a restaurant, you can open a door for a lady, inquire what she wants to order, and give her your coat if she is cold. Listen to your companion and respect her opinions and points of view, and she will also respect yours.
Don’t undervalue the importance of family in a Romanian woman’s life
Romanians are often traditional and close to their families, so don’t underestimate the importance of family in their lives, even if you’re dating a self-sufficient Romanian woman. Because Romanian society is based on the family, and family connections are often intense, relatives’ opinions will be highly relevant. So, if your family likes you, you’re already halfway to winning the other’s heart.
Never refuse food when you visit their families
You’re planning your first visit to the family of your Romanian girlfriend and don’t know what to expect. Aside from being courteous, there is one Golden Rule: never refuse food. When a Romanian welcomes you to her home, know they took the time to arrange everything, from cleaning to cooking to dressing up, before you came. Refusing to eat is considered rude in traditional households, whereas praising the meal is always welcomed.
Famous Romanian women

Another woman made her way up during the 20th century. Nadia Comaneci was the first woman in history to receive a 10 in gymnastics during the Montreal Olympics in 1976.
Ana Aslan is another famous Romanian woman. Appreciated for her discoveries in slowing down the effects of age, she set up the Ana Aslan Institute and developed world-famous products, such as Aslavital and Gerovital.
