@Chaos I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You felt that sarcasm was received well but irony wasn't by Russian girls? I guess I don't have a very nuanced delineation between the two, but I felt that sarcasm was very often not understood.
When I was living there, I got to the point where if I couldn't resist saying something sarcastic (or maybe ironic?) I did so with a shit eating grin on my face to make sure it was understood I wasn't being serious.
The exception that I noticed was with people who spoke English well or had visited the US /UK, they had a better understanding of Western humor.
