Alfred F. Jones is a successful American [insert job here - businessman, diplomat, something busy], charming and good at what he does. Unfortunately, his job doesn't allow much time for him to get out and socialize outside of business functions. Plus, most of the women he's dated are usually either out for his money. He's stressed and lonely, looking for companionship and stability in his life

Anon can't say for Russia itself, but some parts of Europe certainly do (and Japan -- the trope Christmas Cake, anyone?). This anon had a Viennese friend who said that basically said that after 25, you're unmarriageable/no one will marry you. Other than that, I knew a Germany woman who upon hearing that at 21 I had no boyfriend, she was horrified and thought I must be lesbian for daring to be single or something. (I am, but that's beside the point!)
tl;dr, it definitely seems to show up in other countries, so it could very well be true about Russian men.
Incidentally, I was just going to make a post about mail order brides, so thirded.
