I am a German. I like Russian girls. I admire them wherever I see them because of their beauty. I spoke with my friend about it but he laughed. When he discovered I was serious, He told me he would help. Few days later he gave me three dating websites to try out. First of all, I thought he was joking but when I tried the site I could not differentiate it from face to face dating.
Getting to learn Russian culture was really interesting, their language, food and important celebrations. It feels like I was born there already. I have never been to Russia but I do not think I will ever experience cultural shock when I do. You won’t believe I learnt all I knew from Tasha. We have been dating for a while now. Thanks to the site for providing a suitable platform for our meeting. I will definitely refer anyone in need of a Russian lady here.
I am the kind of guy that thinks dating should be a serious business. I used to laugh at people who indulge in online dating because I couldn't see how it will work. I travel a lot to Russia on business grounds and a friend of mine kept throwing me jibes to hook up with one of the pretty Russia cuties. I fell to pressure and decided to give online dating a try for a start. I found this pretty cutie and well, there has been no regrets so far.
I am imagining what could possibly be better for me at this stage of my life than having a Russian lady for a wife. It has always been a childhood dream and the site has actually made me to believe that it can still be achieved. It was not long I came here and started dating Mariya. I think I am ready to walk down the aisle. She told me she was ready too. The only challenge I am having now is how to afford the finance to make this union happen. I hope I get a walk around this soon.
Im quite shy and i haven’t been able to meet anyone romantically for quite a long time, i had almost given up if it wasn’t for this site. Within a few hours of being on the site, a beautiful women said she liked my picture and wanted to get to know me better, i’ve been on the site for a few months and it’s well worth the price, not only do i get to speak to beautiful women but it has made me less shy!
Russian women are not a common sight in my neighborhood but those of us who love them will always go out to find them. It was my search that led me to this great website. I could not believe there could be so much Russian women all in one place. I really hope my current date turns out positive.
Have been using the site after I saw the free trial advertised online earlier this year and its the best thing I have used this year. I was sceptical at first when I tried it, I thought the cost was too high and the girls were too beautiful to be real. But after speaking with a few of them I instantly signed up and have had actual dates with 4 girls while I was travelling the country
The main huddle to cross in cross continent dating is really language barrier. I know a lot of Americans have their eyes on Russians but find it hard to express themselves. I love the way Charmingdate.com craftily took care of that. I would say it is a big plus on their part. If more Americans should discover this, I know the traffic to this website will quadruple. I only hope the programmers and developers of this site will be ready to handle that when it begins to happen.
Talking about those that strongly disagree with the potency of online dating, I was at the top but today, thanks to Charmingdate, I have become a testimony that online dating can actually lead to something good. Me and my lovely wife met here and began chatting. After a while, we got pretty serious and arranged a meeting. What followed happened too fast and we got married. Today we have a child to show for it and our union has remained a happy one.
My guys have been bugging me silly with talks about this site. Trust me, whenever buzzes get so high on anything, I go check it out myself so I don't fall for the bandwagon syndrome. I signed up for it and I think it was worth every single buzz it got; nice layout, captivating graphics, good font. There are also some good services I discovered as I perused the website which I won’t have time to list out here.
I have been to various dating websites and in my sincere opinion this site leaps out of the crowd for a number of glaring reasons. The most exciting of them all which would really excite about anyone is the filter which allows you to set parameters on what you want rather than doing a random blind search which can be time consuming. If you have been to any other dating site you will understand better what I mean.
I love using the site, not only is it a great place to talk to people who are looking for love like myself, but the website has a lot of features and events happening, it is very easy to get involved in the fun and follow along. I’ve been following and watching all the videos.
I live in France but I am an American. My kind of work is one that requires constant travels, that means I rarely have time to do all the dating stuffs like go see a movie in a cinema or chat over a dinner. Not every girl can cope with that and I guess I have not been lucky enough to get a girl that can. With online dating the stress have been lessened on me because all I need is an internet enabled device. This site is one of those websites I would recommend.
I think this site is really cool. Lots of options and assistance to make sure you can easily navigate the website. I also like the interface and all. Never knew such a dating site existed. I think I stumbled on it while doing my research on Russian women and dating. I think I am stuck now. Online dating to me is a whole new experience different from the physical thing. I think I am loving it though.
I will like to compare the site to a basket filled with fishes of same species but of various shapes and sizes. You may not really know what you want until you have a close look. At other times you may think you know exactly what you want but when flashed with myriads of choices, you will doubt if you really knew what you wanted. As for me, I wanted them all. That is what the site can do to your brain. I hope you will find what you are looking for too.
I got in touch with Ekaterina and we started to chat. At the beginning, both with a bit doubt. After few months, our conversations via livechat have led to the fact that we have told a lot each other, and I realized that she is the girl which I would like to get to know better. I arranged a date in Russia and then we spent a few unforgettable days. Although I already knew she was pretty, charming and intelligent girl, she has managed to pleasantly surprise me with some depth in her being. This is something I was reading in Russian literature, what is called "deep Slavic soul." She was taught to be restrained and pleasant to talk to, and at the same time she has a value system that is at a high level for this time, especially for us in the West. Now we are making preparing for our betrothal.
As with any other dating site, there are some fake profiles, but the service team always clear up any problems or if you notice anything wrong they will check out the problem and help you with it, I noticed one profile was using a model’s photo from Google images, so I reported it and it was taken down really quickly. Other than that the site is amazing and I enjoy using what free time I have on there.
I’m a father of two children and happily married to my wife Lina who I met on Charmdate.com early 2010. I don’t know why people think this site is a scam because it worked for me and I ended up getting married to the woman I built a lasting connection with. Give it a try and don’t listen to the naysayers. If it worked for me, it’s bound to work for you too.
I had an issue when I joined the website that the payment for my fee was declined when I had plenty of money in my account for it, I contacted the website's service team and they were more than happy to help me as soon as they could. The service the website has given me over the last 6 months was definitely worth the cost and I am more than happy with what I've received from them; my new girlfriend, Lina!
I did read a couple of bad reviews for the site before I signed up, but I thought I would give it a try anyway. Looking back at them now I feel like those guys must have been rejected by a lady and took out their anger on the site rather than themselves. There’s nothing wrong with the website. I have found so far in my 9 months of using it and the other users on the site are always really friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend to anyone who needs some attention in their lives or is looking for love like I am.
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.
