It'd be quite bad for them if they actually got their wish. That unemployed, fat, balding loser would look like a catch if there were a shortage of men, which there would be if significant numbers died in a war.
Even though 'only' 7 million extra men out of a population out of ca. 180 million died, assuming that the civilians killed were about 50/50, that is still enough to be used as an explanation for why Russian women are so great. They had to take care of themselves in order to land a man, even a man with one leg. Note that I don't know if it's actually true, but it seems logical.
