What more could I ask for from a dating website? So many charming and beautiful ladies! I cannot wait to explore more and chat with the ones that I find pretty. The ladies I have talked to have been so polite and social. I enjoy it and I have a good memery.
I was on this crappy site for over 1 year, first day registered and got all kinds of letters from ladies. I got letters with sexual undertones and from older ladies and ladies who didn't even meet my basic requirements. It's a complete waste of your hard-earned money and time.
Keeping in touch has been made easy by the website. What you have to understand is that women love attention and care. If you are too busy to devote your time to being prompt at replying your messages, then I see no reason why you should be here in the first place. Let me let you in on a little secret; the moment you begin to hit on anyone and then the delay in response starts to manifest, you will automatically lose their attention.
I never had an idea or ever thought that dating can be done online. Yes, you can call me old fashioned and get away with it. Discovery of this website has been an epiphany. Now I can live all my romantic fantasies by mingling with women from other nationalities. The most interesting part of it is that it has cut down my expenditure with regards to dating. I wish I had discovered it earlier because it would have saved me all the cash I spent on my numerous failed relationships. I will definitely tell some of my friends about it.
I have been using this site for several weeks. Its rare that you find your dream date on online dating websites. But this was however quick to give me results. Found my charming lady on Charmingdate and we enjoy our chatting daily.
I bought a few credits as a test to see whether this site is a con... and it is. Despite asking questions to several girls (who can all apparently speak English well) whether there is any way that members can actually communicate directly or even meet they all skated round the issue and sent pitiful letters about how awful their lives are (I've been to Ukraine many times and that's not the case). The moderators who read all the letters obviously got tired of this line of questioning and writing as if from the girl told me that exchanging details or meeting is strictly forbidden... DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME... It's a con
So far the best dating site I've found. It feels so good to talk to the attractive ladies from Russia and Ukraine. Hope to tie up with someone in the near future. Working on it!
Writing ti a girl for 12 months but eventually woke up to her, When my money stopped going to her I never heard from her again. Yes she was real but gets 50% of any money I sent to her or money to open the site. She had my personal email. But she never used it, She only said You have closed the site down. I think they are all crooks but very professional. Get out while you can Rand R
Heard my friend talk about charmingdate so I checked it out. Ive been chatting with this one sexy woman from Russia for like 2 weeks now. I never thought I would but Im actually falling in love with a girl Ive never seen IN REAL LIFE! Not that Im complaining hah
This is a big scam dont be fooled by the positive review here. They are written by employees of the site. You will never meet any of tbese girls. You have been warned
The site and business model is predicated on keeping men "hooked" on writing endless letters and chatting with women. Also phone calls are charged at an outrageous price. Trying to get their personal data is cumbersome and many times impossible. When you finally are ready to meet, you will be charged extra for an interpreter, whether you need him or not. In short, a lucrative business model and a total scam for the customer. What, no negative stars available?
Gorgeous ladies but you can't leave any contact information with a lady until you spend lots of $. The site also rips you off if you have credits and don't use the site for a few weeks! Tim in Calgary
WebsiteIspent four months on this worthless website and advanced my "relationship" with five different women to the point of purchasing their contact information. One lady sold me the wrong postal address, and the local Ukrainian post office said my package was undeliverable due to "incorrect address." This lady refused to communicate with me outside the website - because the website pays ladies to communicate with me. Specifically, the website uses a portion of the money the men pay to communicate with the ladies to pay the ladies. This specific lady even asked me "what's in it for me" when I asked to transition our communication away from the website. Who was this lady? C*******. The next lady was just as fraudulent. She said she lived in Prague. When we established communication outside the website, she emailed me from a city 300 miles east of Moscow in Russia. Well, Russian citizens need a visa to travel to the USA, and citizens of the Czech Republic do not need a visa to travel to the USA. If I new this lady was from Russia, I never would have spent any money talking to her. This lady also sold me a mailing address. I sent her a package, and she never got it. She later explained "this is my father's address, and I no longer talk to him." Wow, another fraud. Who was this? C*******. After three months and exchanging 120 letters between us, she refused to communicate with me through Skype or Viber. Wow, C******* was the worst of them all. Next there was a lady from Odessa. Well, after she started to communicate with me through email, her IP address said she lived in Kiev. So, I hired a detective in Keiv to pull her name and birthdate - both provided by CharmDate. No such person exists in all of Ukraine. No wonder this one refused to give me her address, and refused to talk on Skype.
The bottom line is that CharmDate does not verify the identity of the ladies - like they promise. The verification seal on the lady profile is worthless.
This is a great website if you like lighting your money on fire and watching it burn.
100% fraud - stay away.
Charmingdate is a wonderful site that I have found my ideal girl who is Russian with a beautiful face and she is so charming in my heart.We have communicated for 2months, I am enjoying chatting with her. Thanks charmingdate to let me know my girl.
I corresponded with a woman from Shenzhen China for over a year and she kept putting off coming to America claiming she could not obtain a travel visa from the government. She was a very charming woman who often chatted and wrote to me and we even spoke over the phone several times in a mature manner. I eventually stopped communication with her as I transitioned/moved to a different state/job and when I tried to chat with her after a year it was like I was chatting to a totally different person. The new person was not mature, did not remember me and was very sexual in here chat sessions which was totally opposite in personality of what the person I had conversed with for over a year was like. Yes I could tell it was a total scam!
I enjoy it with a Russian woman on charmingdate, we chat online and I know her more. Now, I am going to get a deeper conversation with her. I really enjoy chatting with Russians.
On Charmingdate I can chat online in real time or email at my leisure with those sexy Russian, and have all the information my potential date entered at fingertips. Online dating is really fun and convenient.
Charmdate is based upon a highly expensive credit system where it cost you credits to read, write, chat, call or share a video. Every woman will beg you to chat or video chat with them because it requires more credits. The woman will never contact you outside of the site and the site blocks all attempts for you to share your contact information with the ladies. They control the only mechanism of communication. What really makes this a scam is that the ladies receive some sort of benefit for getting a person to engage them. They really don't care to meet anyone on the site. They are only there for your credits.
I did make some good friends on this site but havent found the real one I have always been looking for all this time. So far I have a good feedback to give about this site. I really hope, things go smooth in future too.
This site not only changed my opinion about dating sites but gave me assurance about genuine profiles as well. The girls respond fast and some of them are so adorable. I am having a great time here.
Answer: My verdict after a year of using Charmdate: it's total fraud! I had been in a close contact with many girls for a year until I finally left the site. Now I'm convinced that pretty much all of them were scammers. I had not met any of them! All of them suddenly came up with some kind of excuse in the last minute as to why they couldn't have a real meeting with me. Bullsh*t! It can't be a coincidence when I had 4 dates on http://j4Iove.com After using it for 3 months only. Can you explain the difference? There is just one realistic explanation: Charmdate women were fakes and scammers.
Answer: The question "Can I trust the site" is easy. The answer is no. The real question is "can I trust the girl" and that is harder to answer since there are some real women on the site. Here are some things to consider. Many men have signed up for tours or independent visits to meet a girl only to have the site call at the last moment and tell them they either have found someone else or decided they were not interested. By that time they already have their ticket and "tour" booked and paid for. We don't know if your girl is real or not and you might find yourself a "victim" of their fraud. Before you trust her, you need to be able to separate her from the site and confirm the relationship independent of the agency. There are ways of doing this. Ask her to send pictures that she has posted on her private web sites. Google them and make direct contact. I googled any picture of wome writing to me. Many were on VK.com, the equivalent of facebook. So I set up an account there and contacted the ladies. Most immediately blocked me. One who did not simply told me she would ONLY correspond with me on Charming date. You can also try to find a way to give her your phone number and ask her to call you collect. Most of the time your letters will be edited to prevent such information so you'd have to be creative. Tell her about a 2025 mile trip you took and fill out the rest of the telephone number with number of gas station stops meals eaten, people visited, etc etc. If you really want to you can call her, assuming you are actually talking to her and not a fake agent. Find out where she works. Call there and get her direct number. Try anything. But so long as you are only writing emails, you should assume little correspondence between the profile and the emails you are getting. Odds are if you are corresponding with a real woman, much of your correspondence has been "enhanced" or even written by the agency and you will have to start over getting to know her. Independent studies indicate that you have a higher chance of marrying a translator for the agency than you do of marrying the girl to whom you thought you were writing.
Answer: Do they get paid? Not in a conventional way set up in a western society. Charming Date, gets its women from "affiliates" in Ukraine. These "dating groups" go out and advertise for women, who are seeking western men. The site pays the "affiliates" money for each women's profile they get to use the site. I CANNOT definitely say that the affiliate groups are set up to pay the women. They feed them a lot of bullshit about how easy it is to marry a western man. In Ukraine, the average salary is about 200 bucks a month. A lot of these women love that country, but want a better life. The dating sites know this and use this as their leverage to get women to sign up. They really BELIEVE that someone is going to marry them. That is their dream and the dating sites tell them that the dream will never be realized if they are not exposed to a society (western) that can give them a better life. Not all of those women are scammer's. You have groups within the affiliated dating service group, that is filled with nothing but scammers. I am SURE that the leader of these groups ASK to be paid for each women they get to sign up.If they DO pay a woman, she is not getting hardly anything at all. A Ukrainian woman is not going to get rich advertising herself online at different dating sites. I would say she is lucky if she even gets 10% of a reply. And then that is eaten up by all the photo-shopping that is done to make them look more beautiful. She is stuck, she does not realize how hard it is to get her out of the Ukraine because the dating site will not ever tell her of the VISA restrictions that are attached to Ukrainian citizens when it comes to visiting the West. But the dating site is her only hope., so she stays with it not because of the little she may be getting, but because she believes that she will find a real husband from the west. To the dating sites, she is nothing but the product they advertise to make money off of, and some of the women have gotten hip to that. I have had a couple talk to me seriously about how they felt they were not being informed on how hard it is to marry a western man because of the restrictions on the average Ukrainian's VISA. The dating site WANTS you to fall in love with one, wants you to keep buying credits, spending money, and if you are communicating with a lady from one of the crooked affiliate sites, she will be encouraging you to keep writing, or will try to seduce you with words. A real lady does not do that, even in the sites. If you tell her the site is too high, she wants to know how much you pay. If you tell her you can only write her once a week, she will tell you that she will cherish each letter you send. If you are in a site that has video chat, you can SEE the very woman you are talking too, which Charming Date may have now. A true Ukrainian woman will introduce you to her family through the video chat, show you her brothers and sisters, because Ukrainians are all about family. They are proud of their families and want them to meet you. I have done this several times at another site and even send emails to them without the use of a site, but it costs them a lot of money to respond to you, to have what you send to them interpreted. CharmingDates plays this game two ways, they pimp the woman without her knowing how hard it will be to get this dream, and they scam you thinking you are just going to find a wife here just by a few chats or letters. You might, but you can bet you will be spending a lot of money to send and respond to letters. CharmingDate cheats on their chat feature by NOT giving you the full time you pay for, and they DO have women, who are members of the dating site, answering chat invitations. So, that should tell you something right there. Because there seem to be no restrictions or laws governing these crooked affiliate sites from Ukraine, this will not ever stop. But... there are a few sites out there that you can really meet some decent, nice, attractive and respectful women from Ukraine. After you have been around for awhile, you can smell a scam a mile away. A real Ukrainian woman will SURPRISE you with how friendly she is. She will SHOCK you with how humble she is. All she wants... is for you to be her friend and she HOPES, that it becomes more than that. There are many, many attractive women there. This I learned AFTER my first post here. But because there are so many, the men there take them for granted and will leave them in a minute. They are there, they are in Charming Date, but there is so many frauds and scammers there also, the dating site can easily get out of trouble by saying they have no policies at all governing the affiliates who sell them profiles of women they recruit. The site says "no scams", that is true for any society that has laws, but they do not get these women from a society based on that. So, it is easy for a woman and the company she works for, to scam the site, which I am sure... they know it. Good luck out there! Search the sites hard, there are some Ukrainian women that are really worth your time and attention. I am continuing to find out more and more about Ukraine. It is a very interesting place. It also seems that, the more you seem to want to know about their country, the more honest women are attracted to you. The more intelligent you act towards them, the more credible the women seem to get. It seems like a word goes around the country that says" this guy has a real interest in our country, he is worth being serious with" The truth be told, a lot of dudes, pay that little money to those women, and want nothing but virtual sex from them. That is how I believe the scammers got a foothold in the industry. The cry for immoral (smile). Everything you have read here is based on my personal opinion, on things I have learned while talking and dealing with women from Ukraine. When they were asking me about the unrest in America, about holidays, about how streets look like, you can assume... she is probably on the level. She will NOT EVER ask you for a DIME, nor will she send sob stories about someone in her family being sick. The true Ukrainian woman, for all her humbleness, is still a very PROUD woman. She may not have ANYTHING, but she will not ask anything from you! Personally... I think if you get a chance to get ahold of a true one? That Slavic woman is going to love you to death, no matter WHAT you look like... just have a decent heart and treat her correctly.
Answer: I flew to Kiev and found this site to be much of what others have said. The woman are paid. Local model agencies refer girls to this site to make extra money. One girl told me she made fifty per cent of what she brought in. When I surprised a couple of girls that I was in Kiev vacationing they were all of a sudden leaving Kiev on there own vacation. I found meeting girls in Kiev at bar/restaurant I was much better off. If you notice girls send you the same pictures just to build their tally and so on. If you stick to a letter a week and see where it goes from there it will keep your costs low if you want to keep investigating this site. But my recommendation is travel to Kiev during winter and Oddessa during summer and see what happens.
Answer: It's a fake and scam site.
Answer: Any positive feedback here about Charm Date is a complete lie. Don't believe anything.
Answer: They will not do this. I actually wrote them about a month, maybe two back about policies. This was one of them I wondered about and they said they do not provide that service anymore. They also do not support IMBRA.
Answer: You have to request them to do this. I would delete all your photos, and erase everything you can. Then make the request.
Answer: This site appears to be a complete rip off, far too expensive, gives nothing in return except endless chat.
