This is a great site for clickbait.
June 15, 2022

I've been using this site for over a year. It is a scam site. None of the girls will give out their contact information. I've tried to give my email to various girls. The site always blocks some portion of my email. No matter how hard I tried to disguise it.
CharmDate will even block a portion or all of you email when you email a girl using their premium messaging. It cost $8 US dollars to send or view a message.
As Jay S mentioned: "it feels like they(the girls) get paid a portion when you use your credits to reach out to them." If you want to just use the site to check out some hot European tail, then good site. For actually make a connection and possible meet in real life, Not going to happen.

Within 1 week i had 300 requests from what was most all models. I am 47 and 5.6 i am not a model. So the reasons for why 300 will be contacting me that would not give me a time of day in the UK are few.

I went in aware its likely a scam but kept my mind open. For 1 credit its $8.1 credit equals 1 picture you open when sent one by the girl. I didn't know this until i had zero balance so watch out. They send you pics to trick you to use up credits so you buy more.

In chat 1 credit lasts around 5 min text chat. The site has made every possible effort to prevent you from sharing information to meet up. Thus the goal of the site is not for you to meet any of them. Its just a revenue tool for the site owners to make money out of unsuspecting people. Without any intent to have any meet up. The text messages go through a filter. She said all the good stuff you would say to someone you liked or fancied.
I tried various means to get info to the person i was talking to. She would say it was received as***** or my picture i uploaded was blurred.

As a last test i wrote down my email and put it up to the camera on camshare. She said she could see it when i had to asked 4 times. She didnt write it down and when questioned she said she took a screen shot. She implied she was in watford and we should meet up. Wanted my address, but i would not provide it. I said i wont be going back as the site is a rip off. As £100 just for pics and around 20 min chat is crazy. I said if she wanted to meet up to use my email i provided. So far nothing. I gave the site a fair chance to be genuine and with someone in their 40s. If after £100 your not able to exchange details then you know its a complete scam. Stay away gents.

I was extremely selective on who I wrote to. I looked for "normal" bios, and at least a few non doctored photos. Initial conversations seemed encouraging. I began to notice more and more responses that were off topic. Random and even contradictory at times. If the earlier were not so on point I would have wrote it off to language barrier. It seems the closer you get to being able to get their contact info, the more distant the conversations ran. As well, the war didn't seem to effect them nearly as much as i would have expected. I also found that the call, and live text feature were conveniently not available when it seemed time to do communicate this way. I shut down a few conversations and told them I didn't want to chat anymore, and they still continue to send messages. I believe they get paid a portion when you use your credits to reach out to them. I'm sure there are a few real women on here. But, you will spend thousands trying to find them. It's a scam for the most part. Go else where and save your money.

Charm Date or Charm Chat?
April 10, 2022

Even the name is a fraud! Charm date? Lol Should be called Charm Chat! The site blocks any attempt to arrange a real date, and women here in my opinion are all getting paid to keep men spending here. I have been on the site for 8 months and even Ukrainian women who are living in the US some less than 25 miles from me won't even agree to a cup of coffee, preferring to remain on the site for months at a time and thousands of dollars spent. I'm done with this site, I realize they have no incentive to allow people to meet in person, think about it they lose a beautiful girls profile that attracts more customers, and they lose the man who is pursuing them with his dollars if the couple meets for real! I've never read of one single success story at all on this site, nor have I seen one picture of a successful couple who met there on any independent site! Good luck to those who continue to believe the lies about a real date the women of all ages promise! Maybe paying for virtual relationship is some people's thing, but it's not for me, I need real! Peace and my support to Ukraine and the good people of the country! Doug
PS, considering the current situation with Russia and Ukraine I also have concerns about where the money is actually going, I have suspicion that there is a connection with Russia profiting from this site and believe it should be looked into further. Just my opinion.

Liars and Fake
March 24, 2022

This mob and many others are full of lies, they cheat all western men of their dreams saying they are treated badly by their men. The truth is if they provided a relationship for their man he would do the same, sadly women or fake sites play on men because they only want his money to chat with dreams of the perfect relationship which they fail to provide to local men so use western guys until they find the one they want. I have search for over 20 years for a woman there and every pattern is the same, pay for chat and they want you so the day you have their contact details you are subject to fake identity, or accused of being rude because you said Hello or you find them on site looking for another. Take some advice from an expert, leave them where they are. Just look recently, these women are in a War Zone but business is as Usual only because they are fake and answer you from places like Hong Kong or London, Sorry it a sad fake scam

The lag of live chat.
March 24, 2022

I log in almost everyday to check new profiles and chat with people that I know. I got replies which is why I like this site. People are down to earth. But one thing that bugs me is: the live chats sometings lag. I know it's not the other person who is typing or replying too slowly. It's the lag. The charge is keep going so the lag charges as well. This is not fair. Although it doesn't happen all the time, but it happens. You don't try to do something about it?

I have signed up for long time but haven't used it for a while. Recently I went back to it and found that many profiles are just the same when I left. I mean, how can you be so lazy if you really want to meet new people and let people get to know you? Searching for profiles is free which is the good part of charm-date. You can basically search endless profiles. That used to be my passing time. Usually there are new photos updated from time to time. It gives you some new excitement. Why did you stop refreshing now? The video feature is what I like most about this site. I think it's all about videos now, pictures are not enough to tell people who you really are. You can watch some for free that's cool. Try it before deciding if you want to spend on it. Can you upload some more recent videos? I like to scroll down the newsfeed every morning. This could be big improvement.

This is the 4th time i was going to have a dat on this site. And nobody showed up. I am 55 and and want woman from 45 and up. But nono. Still the same. It is a fake site.
I have been hopefull. I did meet my ex from an other site. But this one is bad. Very bad.
But even on the other site they will take you for a ride. Never trust the translator. You will pay 4 times the real price when having a dinner. Well this woman is not to trust. She is good. And she is 35.

All these Russian/Ukrainian dating sites like Goldenbride, Charmdate, Jump4love and UAdates are a scam. These women are being paid a commission to communicate with you or it is a third party communicating as the woman. Notice how all these "Professionals" all use the same photographic studio or the same photographer. Perfect hair and makeup) hell if you are really observant they all wear the same clothes. It appears all the website are working through the same agency because they are all using the same photos. Look at the letters they send you. Basically it's a computer generated form letter they fill out with your name attached at the top; or sometimes it will just say Name) they also will cut a paste from other letters as well. I had one send me back the same letter I sent to her) with a few changes. If you look at the multiple sites you will see the same women; using different profile information, i. E., different jobs, A doctor on one site and a cosmetologist or an designer on another)) The only people getting benefits from this are the websites and the women; they are making tons of cash off of vulnerable older men primarily. I have exposed so many of these scammers I take great pleasure in messing with them. Do yourself a big favor and check out a website called vk.com this is the Russian/Ukrainian version of Facebook. I assure you if you search this site you'll most likely find the woman you are communicating with. These women are attention whores and love to post everything regarding their lives. Then you'll know the truth. Trust me if it's really her and you ask for communication on vk which is free, suddenly all the excuses start or they will say its not them managing the account. I heard that many times too)) Additionally, do a google reverse image search on their personal photos; not the website photos you'll be amazed at where some of the photos can take you. My advice, stay the hell away from these emotional prostitutes; they are nothing but money sucking leeches.
As far as any rebuttal from the websites they are just covering their asses; they have zero credibility and are completely complicit in the fraud!

Fraudster
November 14, 2021

Pictures are from Escort services in Russia and Ukraine. Chat user are often just someone in a shift working but not the women on the picture. You can cross check this with the calling function. Woman supposed to be online, of course only for text chat and in the same time you can't call this woman. Not available. In one absolutely clear case they use even an influencer with 150k follower in Poland and put this picture on the page. Check * on Insta and the same person on Charmdate. She is sitting in a pool with friends, just yesterday (insta story) and in the same time she was online on Charm. GUYS, ITS A BIG FRAUD THIS PAGE.

Beautiful Site

I think the very essence of the site is beautiful. They did everything for us. So that we find the right person. Yes, you can talk to someone a couple of times, understand that nothing is wrong and move on.

I am still yet to adjust to what this site has to offer. I must confess that I wanted to use it to while up my time while in lockdown. But, now, it seems like it has a lot to offer and maybe one day I will be able to find that special person.

The app was good but now it's annoying me. Each time I try to open my messages or logging in, it keeps on saying an error has occurred plus I think picture quality is an issue. Some have some low quality and flow within pics while scrolling isn't the best. Its sluggish. Appreciate your work though.

This site is al about getting your money. Dishonest to the core. Women are being exploited (used, to be polite) to attract men and spend their money. There is no way to actually make real, honest contact.

I met a girl on Facebook who recognised my profile picture on the site and she said that the girls are paid to write men to keep them on the site. Nataly is her name and she left the site because she disagreed with the policy of pressuring the girls to reply to the men. I have proof that a girl asked me to marry her in the UK for $100k. And I was waiting for her to arrive in the UK. But this was the first lockdown. She would write me letters and had Pictures. 1 Credit to see the letters and 1 Credit to see the pictures. At £27.99 for 3 Credits. I spent thousands of pounds talking to her on chats and live video stream. I asked the site for her contact details. And they said that its $300. So I found someone online who got me any girl on any site for £80 or 100 Euros. And I sent friend requests to 2 girls and emails and they ignored me. They didn't want free communications. Olena Bashaeva tricked me. She wrote me lot's of Letters saying how much she loves me and wants to meet me. But she would not talk off the site. And Ekaterina Babich ignored my email and Skype's.So they just wanted to keep me on the site.
