My confidence was not high in the service due to the negative messages saw online. But it has been a great experience to in trying to find my love here on this site. And I am still waiting for the one. Thank you for all.
Last night I kept dreaming about being on this website. I put a lot of time and money into my searching on this site before, and it seemed I almost became obsessed with finding a mate. I had been on another website writing with women and finally realized this site was the best one.
I must say what I said before, I believe that this website is the best. When I talk to customer service they are always more than polite; courtesy itself in fact but I guess they get their money from men like me ha ha. It's business. I enjoy the time chatting with my lady.
When you are a member of the site chnlove, you can also use this site charmdate. I once visited it and reviewed many profiles of Russian and Ukraine ladies. I choose to use chnlove over charmdate. Chinese ladies are more attractive.
I am writing this to let you guys know that successful dates had been taken there Ukraine. The translator will follow you up everywhere, a little bit annoying, but frankly, she did help. My lady and I know each other better. Also, she can help book hotel and arrange dinner.
If you dont think so then include in your profile some little questions such as should a devorce remarry? Or I love blue eyes like my own and would love to know the color of your eyes should any one reply to my profile.
Then you will see in the replies to your profile no reference to your subtle questions which means your profile is not read an a often used reply is sent.
THINK ABOUT IT!
All the best Mavs
I left this site as I have found my significant other.)))) I wish you all well. With positive attitude, you will make it!
I will leave the site soon. Lol. As I will visit my lady of the site soon, and we will be taking about the marriage plan. I know God is with me. She will help me and bless me. I think you should give it a try. You will never know what it is until you taste it.
I trust that scammer is the top concern of people like me, the site must do everything they can to protect us, the paying clients’ interest. Right? Just joined this site to search for my wife a few days. I’m new in online dating and the communications with ladies make me excited.
This site charges a fortune to communicate with alleged singles (upto $100us for a single 'love call') but it is just an industry for the girls to make money even after you make the required 10 contacts you will not find one that agrees to private contact-- the screen blocks all email addresses and phone numbers
They refuse to take profile down when asked and they demand intimate personal identification that is unnecessary and raised my fears of identity fraud -avoid
The organization is not bad here. Still, I would hope Charmdate operates to higher standards than this. For example, fee goes down. Price here is damn expensive, ladies are so hot that you can help yourself. If you want your site goes far, you need to have your price to be lower.
I have been going though a lot of personal problems of late, and read some negative reviews online. Frankly, the service is not so bad, but its fee is damn high. Anyway, Im going to meet my love. Hope everything is alright.
I cannot overstate how much I have appreciated all of the assistance CS team has provided to me in resolving the issue that I encountered with the three woman when I first joined the site.
I was skeptical when signing up to this site. I had done some research on Google and there are a number of sites that claim that Charming is a con. I have been chatting to a girl, for a while now and I have realised that the message online is not real. For me, everything runs well. Good service.
The story of my love journey is full of ups and downs. Sometime you can not be more happier as you think you have found the love that you are looking for in life, whereas it finally turns out that it’s just my imagination. Frankly, it’s not easy to make the thing right online. Two weeks ago, I decided to meet my lady and I just went to her country. The date was not bad, I have no doubt in my mind that we would be perfectly complement each other, and we will enjoy a wonderful life together every minute. She is a little afraid of leaving her parents and coming to a new country. It seems that I still have a long way to go. Maybe I should show more support and understanding? Anyway, if you joined this site, please get mentally prepared that there will be ups and downs. Do not give up.
I joined this site because my brother gives it great reviews and what I have seen from him is very good. He got married with the lady whom he has communicated with for almost three years this year. I feel glad for him and think that I should give myself a chance to be happy.
This site is not like others. Fees are high but service is professional and heartful. Anyway, a firm needs money to run.
This site is a total scam. I did meet a lady on this site and ended up marrying her. She is honest and we are happy but I will explain my comment about the site being a total scam.
Many of the women are real and some have good intentions but many do not speak any english. As a result, many use writers and translators. The letters are written by writers whose job is to keep you spending money. They send very short messages so that you have to pay each time to read. The answers to your questions are designed to keep you interested. There is little if any consultation with the lady to respond to your questions. When you call you are most likely speaking to the translator. The lady I called and thought I spoke to stated that she never talked to me on the phone.
The fact is that most of the positive ratings have been written by men who have never met the lady in question so they are not in a position to rate the site. They are being scammed but do not know it yet.
I am happy to remain with this dating site, however, it does come as a great shock & great disappointment after communicating much with some girls & spending a lot of money to find some girls no longer look attractive
I can fell that the ladies I’m talking with have true intentions and that their soul and that they are not out to make me waste my time and money on this site.
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.
