First of all, this question feels a bit creepy and to be blunt, it feels like a troll question. It's already been said in this thread, but the type of person who wants to creep on Russian girls looking for a girlfriend isn't going to drop $700 to be part of a sausage fest. I suppose there could be males who want to oogle girls in uniform, but it seems far fetched that any of them would spend hundreds of dollars and participate in a serious hobby just to do that.
On a related tangent, there are a lot of other wrong reasons for joining a unit and people who do that get found out fast. They go in not understanding that they need a correct uniform with all the correct items and that portraying things as accurately as possible actually takes a lot of work. People who don't want to put in the work and think they're just going to get to play dress up like to show up in cheap uniforms they got off Ebay that aren't even period correct and their idea of a "uniform" is a shirt, pants, boots, belt, helmet, and rifle and then call it a day.
Vanya is in fact a supreme gentleman for his idea that males in male dominated hobbies should never try to date anyone they meet. There's nothing wrong with asking for a date once from a girl you have reason to believe is single and then moving on. In fact, what Vanya is saying is incredibly misogynistic because he thinks that nerdy girls who join gaming groups as a way to meet boys should be forced to remain single and become cat ladies because the males can never date them.
To be completely honest with OP, this question creeps me out because I wonder why it's on his mind. I've been reenacting for six years and I've never had someone ask me about this. There have been weirdos who show up to events but it hasn't been a serious thing. The fact that he posted this makes me think that it's something that's on his mind.
