Very real
December 28, 2015

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

Anastasia is ethical
December 20, 2015

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

It's a scam!
December 19, 2015

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.

Lets stop scams
December 15, 2015

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

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.

Depends
November 23, 2015

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.

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!

Women are wonderful!
October 31, 2015

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.

Depends on your luck
October 29, 2015

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.

Scam, stay away
October 26, 2015

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

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.
