Anyone have success transitioning from a western country to a hypermasculine one?

I really enjoy this kind of atmosphere of competition and masculinity. It makes me feel alive.
First thing guys notice (well, after how pretty the women are) is the facial expression of russian guys - it's they are in a constant bad mood.
It's nothing personal. You actually start to relate and do it yourself. I think its more natural for guys to not run around all smily like a retarded puppy. When I went to a Gym where they had MMA classes I noticed the abundance of super hot girls in distracting clothing and the super jacked, tattoed russian men with a grim facial expressions. And they were all looking at me when I entered and moved around. I felt uncomfortable for a few seconds, but then a "IDGAF" Mindset switched on. Sweet. Love it.
An anecdote to that: When the King Kong(2005) movie was made, the guy animating King Kong said he watched Gorillas in Zoos and in their natural habitats and he noticed how the Gorillas in their natural habitat had more relaxed and serious facial expressions. Quite interesting.
Comparing yourself to someone else is a feminine thing to do. You can get inspired, be humbled and have respect, yes, but it's not this petty comparison girls do. Competetion is alright, too, obviously. But as long as you have solid foundation and continue to improve yourself, you are probably good enough and shouldn't be self conscious.
When I was in the Army, the thing that inspired me the most was how laid back the guys who already deployed. The coolness was oozing out of their boots. You could sense the authority
and competence in them, ready to strike at any time, but having nothing to prove as well.
But I digress. To help you build and improve your foundation my advise is pretty straight forward. Strength Training to strengthen your body and nerves. Meditation to be calm and focussed. Do Martial Arts, I can't understate the benefits it has... while some men like to drink to bond, I've found that sparring is an excellent bonding experience for me personally. I see what your character is actually made of and what attitude you have. You (or I) might not be as technically proficient as me (or you), but respect will always grow out of it. Other than that, work on a ship for half a year. Go travelling with barely any money. Create a business from scratch. You get the idea - keep your head up and keep moving.
I've read somewhere in the forum how a member respects Russia to make a man out yourself. I love that quote. Everyone knows that Russia is a far cry away from being a paradise. Corruption, alcoholism and brutality are widespread and living there can be really fucked up. But men are men, women are women. Thats why we love going there. I think the atmosphere there will naturally pull you towards a more masculine behaviour. And women will reward this and nurture it as well. They will respond greatly to traditional masculine behaviour, which will be very rewarding for you as well.
TLDR: You're probably good to go and will get used to it. Worst case is you get thrown into cold water and have to adapt quickly. The experience is worth it, and you will bring strong alpha mannierisms back to your home country.
Hope that helps.
