I've met several women on the site. Some interactions were kind of meaningless - just some conversations with pretty girls. That was until I found someone special. We talked online for 4 months before we met in real life and now we've been together for 7 months. We've even moved in together.
I understand that not everyone believes in online dating and to be honest - neither did I at first. But something amazing still happened to me thanks to this site.
I would recommend trying it out.
As someone who has had positive encounters on the site, I'm completely perplexed looking at some of the negative comments written on here. It must be that you guys didn't have luck - I can't imagine another reason for being so against this site.
AnastasiaDate was my very first experience with Eastern European dating sites. That was about 6 years ago. And I have traveled to Ukraine and met a couple from the site. So, it can happen. However, you have to know what your limits are. I unbiased, consider myself an 8, only because I have done modeling and other stuff in entertainment. Plus I make a really good living. Believe me, I m not trying to say Im all that, but I am trying to say, if you know you're a 5, then why on earth would you try for a 10? I've been to Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Poland Cech,, and guess what... NO WOMAN is that desperate. Its just a fact. We have all been fooled into thinking they are so desperate to gt to America, that they are willing to settle for an aging, over weight bald guy. This is so far from the truth. Yes, you can step up your expectations vs an American woman. If you're a 5, then go for a 7,,, if your a 7, then yes, you can get an 8 or maybe even a 9.
So, do not get your panties in a bunch, if you know your a 5 and a 10 only chats with you through these type of pay by letter websites, of course the local branch is paying the women to chat online. It is your money. You are responsible for doing your home work and making sure she is real, honest and have can provide another form of communication, if she cares for you like she says she does.
My advice, if you do use Anastasia, make sure you are planning to visit the woman within a month or two,, that way you are not running through your hard earned cash spending months going back and forth. Secondly,. Avoid this site altogether... There are so many other sites, I've used, met, and have been in serious relationships outside of Anastasia. No, the photos aren't as glamours, and the woman aren't given make overs just prior to their photoshoot but at least you get what you see and the sites have one time, or monthly membership with the womans actual email or phone number. Rosebrides, Bride.ru, Bumblebee. UkraineDate.
Stop being naive and stop burning your money on women, that MAY, in some cases already have boyfriends or married.
These sites DO work,. Just do your homework. I am engaged to a beautiful 10 from Kiev
Good Luck
I recently sent flowers to a woman on Anastasia profile. When I received the verification photo it was clearly not the lady on profile. The woman insisted it was her. It was not. Anastasia corporate investigated and reported to me it was not in fact the woman. Anastasia apologized, deleted the woman, penalized the local agency in Kiev, refunded my money for flowers and gave me al the credits back I spent on the lady, like 1000. So I believe they ae an expensive site to use yet I believe corporate really strives for fairness and integrity I their product. Anastasia did not have to treat me or even be honest with me about the local agencies unethical conduct. Joseph
Hear me out. You cannot create an account as a woman. It transfers you to a different site where you cannot create an account as a male. Funny, how can be any women in that site if you cannot join? So, I've checked the legal agreement of the site. It tells how women are paid to chat. There is a chance I think in 1 million that you will find marriage here. Didn't matter how much I try I couldn't login as a female. App automatically assumes you are a male. Site redirects you to different sites if you are looking for a male as a woman. Moreover, I tried to provide email adress with pictures. Believe it or not, site doesn't understand text in the pictures. Text like you could find on a sweater. But the text was photshopped by me to provide my information. I found two girls admitting that they could see my email adress. They never contacted me, they always want to be confined into the site services. I proved my friend that he was wasting his money and time with this. I hope this was helpful. I did spend 3 weeks and 200$ to bust the site. Do not waste your money like my good friend. Try yourself to join as a female and you will know I am telling the truth.
A big scam, there are a few real woman but most are generating revenue, by letters and chatting and it is often another person on the chat like a man
We should team up and cross reference certain woman and sue the company

A friend of mine found someone on this site and is married to her now. Maybe it doesn't work out for everyone but it surely did for him.
They take 17 dollars every hours, when i call them, they dont wanna reinburs my money,, then i have to call my credit card and blocked it... it was a big headache... don't use this site, take care your money...
I'm not a bad looking guy, but the one thing I can't figure out is: Why on EARTH would so many of these hot young women (some of whom are 18!) want to talk to and meet a guy halfway around the world? Aren't there men in Russia and the Ukraine? Are these men hideous trolls right out of L. O. T. R? I'm not a member and I'm not going to join. Russia and the Ukraine must be frigged up places if there are that many hot women who can't find men in their own country. With that said, I know that many women want American men. I Do know of a beautiful Ukrainian women I met on christianfreedating.com. We skyped together, but she ended up marrying a man from the U.S. and now lives in the U.S. She's my facebook friend, so I see her pics. I say this because many women want to get out of Russia or the Ukraine. I understand, but so many of these women on Anastasia.com are so ridiculously hot, they could literally have any guy they wanted. Are they really that desperate? I'm not buying it... literally... not paying a cent.
I signed up and anastasia dating site about two months now and I have verified my credit card information because I am curious about this site i haven't uploaded any pictures and I am getting a lot of messages about that I am cute and that they are looking for an relationship with me. These people don't look like real people they look like model s not ordinary people. Message also comes in at the same time and some of the names or the same
Plz reply back to this email message as soon as possible..
I signed up about 4 months ago and my first couple of encounters were meaningless. I talked to some pretty girls but they didn't seem quite into me. Eventually I came across this Russian woman. We started talking and I realized we share a lot of the same values and even some of the same goals in life. I didn't think it was possible to have any feelings towards someone over the internet but it is. We've been having little video dates. We make believe that we are having dinner together, we have some music playing in the backround and have even watched some movies at the same time so it feels as if we are together.
Whether or not you will have success in online dating totally depends on you - if you know what you are looking for and if you are ready to put yourself out there. It takes some guts and some belief to be online dating.
I'm not too excited about the cost of things but once I meet my girl, we'll move off the site and then that issue is gone.
Please be aware this site will exploit your credit card and credits and will scam you as long as they have access to your credit card info looks like a computer bots with all the mesages that will pop up when you go to the site!
Yes, much more expensive than sites like RussianGirls4u but on the other hand one of the few legit sites (and trust me, there are maybe TWO legit Russian mail order dating sites: RussianGirls4u and AnastasiaDate. He rest will pretty much scam the hell out of you... but maybe I was just not lucky)
Guys this site is not match.com where you can find a neighbour girl to date. If you ain't got the money to afford stop your b i t c h e n and just go to the bar. Amazes me how many cheap as s MFs are here thinking they going to find a girl from a Pit Bull music vid and make no effort. You think she is going to chose you if you don't go visit her or even chat with her long enough to know you serious. Don't have the player... hate the game!
I have been using this website for a while and i have only 1 not so great remark - it costs money. But it is my choice how will and will I at all spend it. I think it's worth it. And guys - don't be stupid and send cash the minute you see a gorgeous woman. And this can apply to any dating site out there. Think with your upper head too.
No one can ever guarantee you'll find love online, it doesn't matter whether you've signed up with Match.com, eHarmony or whatever other site. Most of them charge for memberships by the way.
I know of two guys who met a woman on ANastasiadate and both of them are still happily married. Then again, I know plenty of guys who've dated more than 3-4 women from match and all their relationships have ended because the girls weren't into anything serious! At the end of the day, I guess it just depends on your luck.
Save your money. I used the site for a few years, you have to talk to several scammers to get to a few real people. Then when you meet the real people in person if you visit Ukraine, 90 % of them are scammers. I was unlucky with the 2 girls who were not obvious scammers when I I met them and a few meetings over the course of two or three years, but it took a lot of wasted time and effort to even find them. Sometimes I even wonder whether those 2 were playing a scam at a higher level, because there reasons fro not wanting to get married were strange to say the least after having a long enough relationship. Save yourself the heartache and money and find a genuine site. Just a little proof it is a scam, when you log on to the site, you are automatically made a member of their Asian, Latin and African sites. You will start getting chat invitations from girls on these sites. The girls will tell you how impressed they are by your profile and your looks. If you look at your profile on these sites, the only information on them is your name, age and location. No description or photo gets automatically transferred. This is a clear indication that all these girls messaging you are paid scammers
I was on the all for the first time and I accendenty click on the one cam and came strate off it and also went on one chat but did not type anything. When I was on the chat I read the small print and it said it would charge so after that I came strate off the all and uninstalled it. Then I remembered that I put me email in, so does anyone know if it will charge me. I hope it won't. Please message me if you know
Thanks
This site is designed to rinse cash from mug punters who are sucked in by the beauties that are way above their league. Yes, It is very flattering to see these amazing looking girls taking an interest in YOU -- but get real fellers! They are after the subscriptions.
All the images of the girls are professionally staged, produced, and look airbrushed.
The girls probably get commission for keeping the Punters engaged for as long as possible. Don't KID yourselves THAT THEY ARE GENUINELY INTERESTED in YOU They don't care what your age is or what you look like as long as you can keep paying for the privilege of engaging in on-line Chat. YOU WONT GET LAID HERE
AnastasiaDate is little more than a sophisticated web site like so many dating sites you may have experienced locally. The woman's local agency will often send the initial letters based on the woman's search criteria. Similarly, the software is set up such that the woman can enter search criteria and chat requests are sent out automatically. The main difference between domestic dating sites and AD is that instead of spending a flat fee each month, AD hits you every time you do anything. I can understand the need to charge for letters that require translation. But, use a 'special' emoticon... $$$$. Use their chat server to communicate... $$$$. View a video of the woman in her profile... $$$$. A man will spend a lot of $$$$ just determining which women he does NOT wish to communicate with. And, with 42,000 women on the site, there is just a boatload of women to choose from such that a man can throw away a LOT of money.
On the flip side, the women on the site are real and most of them have serious intentions on finding a man. I have visited Ukraine twice to meet women there and I have not left feeling I was defrauded. We decided we weren't a good fit after a couple dates but that's common with dating anywhere... not just in Ukraine. AD is a decent tool if used properly:
* Write letters until you qualify the woman, Letters are cheap and you can send and receive one picture for free in each letter.
* Don't become a chat addict! Ukrainian women are masters at flirting. It's natural given that there are 5 women for every 4 men there. Think of chats like dates and spend accordingly based on your interest in the woman.
* Focus on women in one geographic area. When you travel to Ukraine to meet women for the first time, meet a FEW women with whom you have been communicating. These are FIRST DATES and first dates are the same all over the world. There is either chemistry or there isn't.
* If you have the flexibility, visit the women as soon as possible after determining mutual interest. There is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars communicating with a woman BEFORE you meet in person, That's just stupid.
* Plan at least TWO DATES, If a woman is worth traveling thousands of km to meet, she's worth meeting at least twice.
* Once you have met the woman in person, exchange information and get OFF AD. AD is a great tool for FINDING the woman. Not a great tool for building a relationship. It's just way too expensive.
Answer: Sean, I'm very sad to hear that you have been yet another scam victim of AnastasiaDate. They definitely have interesting people on there... but this is what you need to know: 1. You are NOT talking to the girl in the picture. You are talking to a translator (probably a guy) who is talking on behalf of the girl. 2. The translators are being paid to keep you online - on their site - and give you as little information as possible to allow you to get off the site. After a month, if you are still using the site, you are the victim. Read the reviews that are all 1-star of this service, and remember that the 5-star reviews here are almost all paid reviewers for AnastasiaDate.
Answer: The odds are stacked against you on Anastasiadate because it works on a scam-based "business" model. It's a chat-oriented site, it pays comission to local affiliates, so it attracts many scammers, both women and men who want to suck in your hard earned money. The woman (or whoever it is you are chatting with) is paid by the local affiliates. If you really pursue a serious relationship, you should join a meeting-oriented site, i. E. http://j4love.net They also have chat and video chat but they operate on a different model and therefore their girls are more serious about the meeting. When I was in Ukraine I signed up there and met two women. It didn't take me long to find the women who were willing to meet which was a big surprise for me as I got used to all kinds of excuses of Anastasiadate's girls as to why they were not able to meet me next month. Now I understand the real reason.
Answer: As far as I am aware this is a site with women's profiles aimed at attracting men only. From experience I can tell you that most of the profiles either are not who they are posing to be [e.g. Are using model's photos etc] or have not the slightest intention of a hook up. That is to say they will keep you endlessly writing revenue earning messages but if you try to arrange a meeting they will disappear. This is also the case with the sister site Amolatina and LatamDate. Be warned and be prepared to totally waste your money.
Answer: Knil, Good that you are thinking of marriage. Speaking from my own experience with Anastasia Scam, the ladies I met lived in a fantasy world. As long as you shower them with the good stuff, they will play along. But when the music stops, these same ladies will abandon ship. Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman for better and for worse. The Anastasia Scam ladies forgot the covenant part and the for worse part. So, if I were you, I will NOT even consider Anastasia Date scam. You want a real relationship built on honesty and love. Anastasia Date scam is NOT based on honesty and principle. I say these things to you because I went over there and spent time with the ladies and I observe. You observe and you need to read and interpret body language. A scammer can hide their true intentions but their subconscious actions reveal the true picture! Anways, I wish you all success with your future and your love life. Life is too short to spend it on the wrong person and for the wrong reasons. Regards,
Answer: The girls don't write to men, agencies do, pretending to be the girls, with the girls having nothing to do with the letters at all.
Answer: Spot on, ADate is a con. I wrote to girls over a period of months sorry to say, and sadly the alarm bells never rang when certain girls would be there 24/7 - couldn't answer questions about their professions or explain why they weren't at work, had short term memory loss (couldn't remember anything about me) and whoever I was speaking too had never seen a letter. It is simply organised crime.
Answer: Hello but I am going to repeat the response what Stephen said earlier but I am going to be fair with the statistics: I would say 99.9% of the women on anastasiadate either get paid by an agency to chat with men or they are scammers out to make money and not looking for a real relationship. Any positive reviews for this site are almost certainly generated by the lowlife people who are behind this dodgy dating site. I dated a lady from this scam site for TWO years. Her name is Daria (Member ID: 1701750). She lied and told me that she was registered only with Anastasia Scam but later I found out that she was registered with other agencies. She told me that I was the one for her but I also found out that was her story to the other men she was scamming also from the other agencies. If we all stand united and refrain from using this scam site, Anastasia Scam will be out of business and you all will be a lot richer and happier...
Answer: I don't have the statistics, but I am out of there! I saw real and sincere woman through the cameras, and also met some of them there. They are real (don't think all of them obviously). But I am out. It is very difficult to establish communication with them specially when most of them don't even try to learn English!
Answer: If you still do not believe Julian that this site is a scam this is her profile on VK: http://vk.com/id68827266 Register on this site, send her a massage and you will see whether she would like to keep in touch with you. I bet she wouldn’t.
Answer: Brian, I've seen your ads on here - looked at these reviews occasionally for about 3 years now because I was dating someone (off and on) I met on Anastasia. They must have hired real Americans to write their planted reviews since the last time I was here because many of them actually look like they weren't written by someone who grew up speaking Russian! Anyway, I can't seem to find the job title of these, er... ladies? I wanted to search on google.ru and thought it was "work bride" but that's not it. Could you help me? So what's my opinion of the Anastasia site and the ladies on there? $650 spent. Never met a lady who didn't keep coming back to me no matter what I told them (yes, I tested) of the 2 dozen or so I chatted with - even when confronted with evidence of their fraud. Sent gifts, made phone calls but only 1 actually gave me her VK contact info - all others refused. I contacted her and we talked often in the following 90 days or so until I told her the house I was buying (and she helped me choose) may cost more than expected and delay my visit to meet her - then she either deleted her VK account or blocked me because I couldn't find her on there. She never asked me for anything to this time except to visit her so she could be my bride. About 6 months later she friended me on facebook using a different name and sent me about 5 texts in the next 2 months slowly telling me she was in hospital for weeks and when I showed concern she wouldn't say why she was there, her final message being "Oh it nothing. I better now" then nothing for 18 months. She contacted me again in August and a month later I bought a ticket for Ukraine and booked a room but when I denied her 2 request for money - first for medicine because somehow the coughing she was doing on a Viber phone call turned into a trip to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed it as her spine and she needed money for medicine. Huh!?! Phone calls tapered of but still came. Ditto with texts. 2 weeks later she needed money because she was evicted and needs a place to stay. Told her my money was needed for the visit and I wouldn't send. Now she won't call or answer mine. Texts very sporadic. So I friended her friend's friend's friends on facebook and started finding real Russian and Ukrainians with no touched-up professional photos and not a fraud warning flag has sprung up chatting to them. And the girl I was dating. Well, she spent hours and hours for 2.5 years but never got a penny she asked for - all she got by my best estimates was a birthday gift and whatever she got from the few texts. Letters and calls we made on Anastasia that made a total of around $65 or so it was worth it because I liked to make her squirm when she lied to me. The site's a fraud. Stay away from it. I reported them to BBB and every time they replied I went back to their site to complain because they would remind me of another issue. They wouldn't answer so I'd report them to the BBB for failing to address that issue then their reply brought up more and I'd file another BBB complaint. Was marked as resolved only because I finally gave up - they didn't address the issues brought up in the BBB complaints but instead attacked me and my character. They even said they saw that I was having problems with one of the ladies (damn straight I was - she asked me to send a Valentine gift and they aren't allowed to do that and I found photos on her VK account of her spending Valentine's day with her real, Ukrainian boyfriend) and when I asked why they're reading private correspondences I was told to report the girl for fraud and the following morning I found out my account was closed and they refused to refund my unused credits.
