Did anyone notice how all of these women have model type pics. That is kind of weird. I mean I could not find one profile with a bad picture, not that I was looking for one, it was just something I noticed. I can say if the girl I choose takes all her pictures like this I am in for a treat. The women must be of high quality to take their time and upload all nice pics.
My college buddy first told me about the website, so naturally I went online to read the reviews. The negative reviews I read made me curious as to whether there was any truth to the claims. I have had positive experience with the translation service and the women I have dated from the website.
I actually thought a Kiwi bloke like me could not possibly find a beautiful European girl online but now I know it’s possible with this website. I’m still amazed to be honest… The site is easy to use and when you sign up, you immediately see loads of girls available to chat with. I’ve been using it for quite some time now and I’m spoilt for choice. The girls are lovely and I’ve had a chat to one actually through the phone service. So it’s all real, don’t worry!
I’ve always been keen to explore women from various parts of the world, especially living in a small country like New Zealand. So when I was just browsing and stumbled upon this website, it was like starting an exciting adventure around Europe, all within the comfort of my living room. I didn’t even know sites like these exist but man, this site is choice. I am able to chat to whoever I want, send virtual flowers, gifts, and the sort. So far so good…no complaints here.
I have tried some dating websites before and I feel the women in CharmingDate have a wider range of ages. I personally prefer women a little more mature and like more options.
I've read a few bad reviews for here so I thought I would share my own experience. I've been using this site for six months so far and I haven't encountered any problems. There are some men complaining about the women being fake, this is not true and they are complaining about the price being too high. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, we pay for a good service. If they don't like it they can go and use a free site, why stay here and try to give the site a bad reputation just because they haven't met a woman who they see eye to eye with.
I never thought about using a dating site but a friend recommended this one to me. So far it seems okay, I've always been a bit shy so it's much easier to talk to woman through the site, that way I can get to know them better before I speak to them face to face. I think a lot of guys who are shy like me could benefit from it. There is a free trial so you can try if and if you don't like it you can cancel but if you do like it it's not too expensive compared to other sites.
The ladies on here are gorgeous man! I wish that it had some women on here from a more
Variety of places but I guess I'll just have to travel to these places to meet these amazing
Looking women. Its funny because I did not even upload a picture and I had messages! I must be the man! All jokes aside, great site with great women no doubt, I'll recommend this to friends as soon as possible.
I’ve been here for almost three year and spent several hundred dollars. Frankly, it’s upset that such a charming man still are here after several years’ searching. I have no idea how could it happen and I once thought the ladies are fake. However, the truth is that maybe Ukraine ladies are not my cup of tea. Chinese ladies may be a good choice? Let’s see.
I appreciate their function, bonus points. It's a great way to help you send free letters to ladies. Hope there will be more free service like this launched.))))
Fees are high but service is more professional. Anyway, a firm needs money to run. I understand that. Still, it’d be good if it costs a little bit cheaper.
I don't think I can find a lady who is beautiful and sincere online, but it is not the fact. I did find my wife on this site! The love story between us filled with ups and downs. I always thought it would be a scam and I would be the most foolish man in the world to believe she loves me and would love to meet me. Ironically, I am the foolish man as I do not trust my angel. It hurts her so much and I've paid a price. Would love to share with you that you need to pay more attention to lady's emotion, they change fast and we need to pay more attention and patience.
I joined this site because my brother gave it great reviews. I had read some negative reviews of CharmDate agency, which I had come to believe were true. Everybody is talking about the high and crazy price here, still, I would love to have a try after witness my brother’s successful experience on the site.
Please think... some of the comments come from the operator of this site! Pity, you can't find a site of comments withiut that, It's their 'business' to fraud us
The service price is not that low, but I met my girlfriend Elena on this site. The story of my love journey is full of ups and downs. Thank god I still can be sitting here to type this words. I’m the luck man. Wish you good luck. Tips. You may give more control when using the service. I understand it’s fun to talk with your lady. Well, the service fee is expensive, it’s better to use the credits in the best way.
I have to say, this site is the most expensive I’ve ever known. The policy is a little strict as I can not enjoy the communication with my ladies freely. I’m not so happy about that. We all adult, no need to have restrictions towards us. The site will be better if they change their policy.
I read some of the reviews on this site. Some think it is scam. I think it is not that bad. I got my love's address though the price is shy high.
I recently visited Kiev to meet one of the women on Charm Date. We had been chatting/exchanging letters/talking on the phone for just about two months. I decided to go over to the Ukraine and meet her. It cost 139.00usd just to set up this cupid date. It was to include a date with the woman and an 1 1/2 hour with an interpreter. I didn't know why we needed an interpreter because she spoke good English on the phone. So the day of the date came and I went to the restaurant. My date was waiting with the interpreter. Much to my surprise my date all of a sudden didn't speak any English. As well she smoked but on her profile it said she was a non-smoker. So then the interpreter says you owe me 30.00usd for an hour. The going rate for an interpreter in the Ukraine is 10.00-12.00usd an hour. When I questioned her that the agency told me the 139.00 fee included an 1 1/2 hour she called me cheap and very rude. I laughed at the whole thing, got up and left not paying the interpreter a dime. I waited outside of the restaurant for about fifteen minutes to gather myself and process what had just happened. Next thing I know, there was my so called date holding hands with another man which I found out later was her boyfriend! Stay away from the on line dating sites and find an agency to meet real women!
I give this dating site one star which is one star too much, but they have some pretty women working for them. I suppose these women can't live on sex alone so they do need to earn a living some other way. So, why not take easy money from poor suckers looking for romance or possibly a wife through online dating. What a bunch of crap. The sad part is, for the few ladies on this site who are like you searching for a new life, they get burned along with you. Please read on, it's like a good book, you can't put it down.
A little of my experience and what I've concluded. I joined the site for free which was nice. Got tons of admirer mail from pretty ladies ranging from 18, wow just a legal age, imagine that, all the way up to 49. This is where they really start getting, should I dare say, ugly. I hate that word, lets say not so pretty. Sorry, older ladies. By the way, my search was 44 - 56. In the admirer mail from these ladies is where they have one chance to hook you like a fish a reel you in, so the letter they send you is really good. Sweet sailing guys. The next step is EMF Mail, where you have to buy credits to send and receive letters from the lady of your dreams. A credit ranges from 7 dollars and it cost 1 credit to send a letter and 1 credit to receive a letter. Your goal is to exchange personal information so you can get to correspond freely without using the dating site and eventually meet the lady of your dreams. This site will re-write your letters, removing any such information or even block you, in every attempt to reach your goal. All sisters of this site, do business in the same way. Yes, BUSINESS. A clean, legit, business. The EMF mail is not there biggest cash flow, the biggest is phone chats. My friends open up your wallets, and I hope it's a big wallet. At a cost of I credit per minute. Are you good at math? Overall, I spent $350 to learn a valuable lesson. My wallet is still doing good.
Here is some advice & what to look for to learn quickly if the lady of your dreams is legit. Her letters will be short with no positive meaning. Ask her for her favorite spot in her city. She will not answer your questions directly, leading you elsewhere. Do a scheduled Love Call to the lady. This will allow you to do a very important test. Send her an EMF mail asking her if she will exchange personal information such as email address's, so you can proceed without the dating site. GOOD LUCK.
Finally: do some research online with other dating sites to see how many sites she may be working on. Don't get to upset as they do have to earn a living.
Best of luck to everyone in their search. I'm out of here...
I have to say its been a very interesting journey on this site. I’m grateful that because of this site we have found each other! The site is always and will be forever the best site ever created. I can’t thank you all there enough for their kindness, concern, generosity, quick and timely assistance.
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.
