What I like best about online dating is your sense of humor can really come out. When you do actually meet, the real you can really shine. You can skip past all the getting to know you awkward stuff.
I discovered that rival dating sites often create fake accounts so that they can blacklist their rivals. Just do your thing and learn from your own experience. You will be surer that way.
Ok so this girl I was writing on charmingdate is so nice till you find Her then she blocks you when you find her Instagram and vk accountant she goes by Alina dzyuba but her real name is Alina petrova she is from lugansk but live in kiev ukraine now I talk to her for 2 years and lost a lot of money don't fall for Her tricks she is a bad person she need to grow up and get a life PLEASE Don't fall victim to her she is also on dream-marriage and you can find her on Ukraine- brides her Instagram is Koshe4ka7777 she is also on periscope just not a good person she is a scammer
I think people should work more on theirselve and manners so that they can win a girl instead of lashing out their frustration on the website in the form of negative reviews. I find this a grossly imature thing to do. One word for you if you are in the category; Grow-up.
This site is pure ala-carte money. Everything costs a bundle and you will have absolutely nothing to show for it but embarassment that you let yourself be taken like this. Believe me, I've been there and now I know. Please - learn from my mistake and steer clear.
If you have an already tight budget, I don't think this site was designed for you but if you've got money to spend, it is a worthwhile way to do so. I have been having fun for the past one month chatting with beautiful girls.
Same company behind this as China Love, or ChnLove. Gorgeous women that seem perfect, and mostly don't exist. Most likely models and other pretty women lured into this scam to pretend they are interested in a guy, and get him to send mail after mail after mail. All for same cost, $7 per mail. Your own AND hers! After 10 you are supposed to get the woman's email, I never did. Always some excuse or BS.
If you are naiv enough to get encouraged when a woman contacts you, or responds to your mail, beware. She is sadly not likely into you, but she is into the money she gets from you writing her or reading her mails...
Yes, the women looks good, some stunning, but good luck in finally meeting one for real.
I dont think it would be fair to blacklist this website and the whole of online dating because you have had a bad experience. Think of all the success stories and those who have found happiness and made a family through this means. Will you also erase their story with your anger?
For me, online dating is just for fun. I don't take it serious in any way but who knows, love may come out of the blue and sweep me off my feet. It has been a while since I signed up to this site and I have no issues with them.
I was among those who had my doubts about online dating. I used to wonder if the girls are pretty as they claim, why will they have to come online to find a man but I have come to realize that many men have a wrong impression of girls who are very pretty. Some men will think they can never be faithful to their partner because they will have so many admirers. This forces the girls to go online to look for their man. Instead of doubting, appreciate them for what they do and have fun.
Work can be a pain in the butt but we all need to work hard to survive. I have found out that there is nothing more relaxing like having a warm chat in the evening with all the beautiful girls on this site. I am so love this site.
I have read a number of reviews here that said the website is too expensive but I dont think it is. It is the free websites that give online dating bad reputation because they allow all and sundry to get on it and people always have different motives to their actions. Those are the websites you should be weary of and not the price of the paid ones.
I have used this site for 2 months and I was not really lucky on it. Problem is that it is quiet expensive, for sure much more expensive than sites like RussianGirls4u. Well, not lucky does not mean that I did not chat with anyone. I did and it was a fun experience. But at the end of the day I was not able to arrange a date. I guess I will keep using other sites on which I felt a little more comfortable but maybe I will come back to CharmingDate one day
I signed up for the first time to a dating website when I was 20. I was so young then and needed a Russian girl of about my age to date but there hardly a way a website to guarantee me that. Some days I would search for long hours before I could find a Russian lady on those other websites and even when I do, they are too old for me. This site is a whole new experience. Making it a pool of only Russian ladies increases the probability of everyone getting what they want.
I am from Ireland and have always had a thing for Russian women and get excited when I watch them in movies but with the distance barrier, I kept wondering how I will make my dream of hooking up with a Russian lady possible. I have tried so many dating sites but I have never seen anyone that is completely dedicated to hooking up with Russian women. Charmingdate.com is a dream come true and I am so happy to have found it. God bless the brains behind this wonderful innovation.
There is this girl I met on Charmdate.com and we have been dating ever since I was an undergraduate in the University. It happened that I had to further my education in Russia and it has been really easy blending in because I knew what to expect. She already taught me some words in Russian and I did not have to worry about where to stay. I stayed with her throughout my studies and because of her care I didn't fell for a day like I was in a foreign land. It was like a home away from home.
I recommend Charmdate.com to anyone who is tired of contemporary dating and would like to try something else for a change. I do not intend to sound like a preacher or a know it all but I have had stings with so many dating websites that I have lost count of them. For a beginner I strongly think this site will do the trick for you. I think the website was designed to be simple and just about anyone can learn to use it perfectly in minutes.
If you are a casanova then online dating is simply the best for you because so many messy dramas that erupts when your date finds out that you are double dating would be avoided. There is virtually no way one can find out that you are double dating unless the confession comes from you. That aside, online dating is so flexible especially when it comes to diffusion of culture. You can easily meet girls from around the globe and in the process of dating, you will be suprised about what you will learn that happens around the globe.
I started writing to Kate and immediately she started telling me that she loved me and similar things. I knew right away that this was a scam, but wanted to do some research on how far they would go with it. I would receive multiple letters every day with more than one photo. At times it appeared that the letters were written by two separate people as the tone was different. My questions were vaguely answered it at all. I sent flowers from their website and did receive photos with her holding them. Not sure about this being a scam other than the high prices. The multiple photos and letters per day increase the mans cost to read and see photos at one credit each and the information was no different day after day.
After writing 10 letters I requested her e-mail information and after two weeks finally received it. I communicated with her a few times by personal e-mail and we did talk once on SKYPE, but I was certain there was someone else in the room. I asked for her phone number and address and received a disconnected number and she would not give me her address because the landlord did not want anyone to know she lived there. (LOL) She then started writing to me again from the website even though we had contact through personal e-mail.
I also want to state that I receive many letters from ladies much younger than I put on my profile and that have no business in wanting to be with me. I don't want a lady that is 21 and I am in my 50's. But I received hundreds if not a thousand or more. I just deleted them, but they kept coming. You might be flattered, but you know that it is a scam, so just skip it. I have been to Russia and the Ukraine before and ladies are not that desperate.
So I will agree with others who have put unflattering reviews here for Charm Date that you are much better just going and meeting ladies in their cities and skip the writing. In my case I am sure I had two people writing to me under the same name and after getting the ladies e-mail, she still wrote to me on the Charm Date website. It was about a $500-$600 experiment, but it confirmed to me that this site is a SCAM.
I sometimes compare Online dating to playing an interractive video game like SIMS. I often wonder if the person at the other end is actually a human being or a robot. On the other hand, I think it could be fun also considering that I do not have to worry about the ugly things that happen when lovers breakup. My friend lost an ear during a fight with his girlfriend before they finally brokeup but with online dating that can never happen. Well, everything has its up and downside. It's about sniffing out what you want.
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.
