Generally, I enjoy the site but it does have limitations. It would be great if you offered grouping in some way or a few separate files for specific letters or to be able to search all letter by a particular woman. Just take this into consideration.
Honestly online dating was, and is, never my thing. I do not trust it in the first place. Before really using dating sites to find a date I did some research and it turned out that almost all this type of sites are full of negative reviews. It got me thinking what can I expect from it? I have a profile here and I have chatted with some girls which is light and fun. By now it is what it says. I do not ask for more. Meeting up seems impossible for the time being. Let's take it slow and see what happens.
This site used my personal data and photo for create fake profile. So i get SMS to other my social network from different unknown man
I really like Charmdate, great site. I had enough experience with different dating sites and can say that people who run this site know to do their job very well, recommend it!
In my age instead of flirting around you only get energy for something serious and need to settle down. That's why I chose this site in the first place. But it does not seem to work for me at all, I have got no matches. I contacted the customer service they were patient and heard me out. Seems the problem is I didn't fill in my profile, not enough information about myself. I will take the advice.
Hi, instead of dating apps I prefer the old-fashioned dating sites and I have used a couple of dating sites over the last 10 months because of the covid-19 nobody can possibly go out, let alone meeting someone. I know there are problems with pop up matches and perhaps that should vanish more slowly?! How can you find someone and look into her profile if you can barely see clearly her photo before the pop up vanishes? I have not been on any date for many reasons or because I am just too tired to meet people! It is annoying when you are sent matches which don't seem to have anything in common with you... but out of those matches sometimes you find a little star. Someone who is nice, caring, affectionate, thoughtful. I think I have found the good feelings of dating again! We have a lot in common and get on tremendously well.
There is nothing wrong with the website. In fact, it is one of the best I have ever seen. But, is it possible to add more pictures showing more angles and perspectives? Sometimes, there are dating profiles that appear great, but it shows a slight difference when you get to know the person. It's just a small suggestion.
I was skeptical at first. I'm glad I didn't push through because I find the data security unreliable. They need to provide more assurance to the user because it is an investment.
Just the biggest fraud ever, trust me. These $#*!s lie and rip you off. They should be shut down. Each $#*! is an actor, even the $#*!s that do a cam share, the $#*! is being paid. The $#*!s are great actors. If you want to meet a classy beautiful woman in Ukraine, go their, the women are gorgeous, next to our obese women in the USA. Stay away from Charmdate, their $#*!s, criminals, the $#*!s need to be arrested, $#*!s are thieves!
I have written no fewer than 22 reviews (another name) of these PPL sites explaining how they are all corrupt and frauds.
What has happened over the few years of digging into this industry is that I gave photo evidence along with details of it all my reviews here and on Trustpilot have been hidden from public view. Site "agent", would try to refute my review or make a comment to this site claiming I am not on their site or something else.
Many of the photos listed on this review are from me. I have many more, alone with proof of how this scam works.
CharmDate is just the host for local agencies in said country. If most of you are not aware, Charm is a China based company under qcupid.
These local agencies make deals with Charm to post profiles of "their" ladies. I have a photo of a Charm rep at one of the agencies in Kyiv. These agencies work with other hosting sites, i. E Anastasia, Natashaclub and the list goes on and on. It is a HUGE money making industry to rob you of your money on false hopes.
One thing you all will notice is the support from Charm is weak and always pointing the finger back to the local agencies claiming not responsibility.
I have done more than 10 YouTube videos with the owner of a local agency in Ukraine. We talk about how the scam works and what guys can do to get their money back.
I have spoken to many guys off this site and other to help them expose the fraud they are being subject too. Just message me here and I will reply to you. Let's work together to expose this fraud, before you waste any more money. I can point you in the right directions on how to really find your Ukrainian woman and it will not cost you a dime.
I have been to Ukraine more than 17 times in 5 years. I will go for weeks, if not a month at a time. I found my women there, but not off a fraud site. I have been with her now for over 3 years. What I try to do is show men the fraud and point then in the right direction to find their amazing Ukrainian woman.
Stay away, all womens are fake or work for this site. They get money to hold you on this site.
Ukraine girls are generally pure but here all with super pictures and big boobs. They send you you pictures and letters. If you send a picture you need to pay some usd for 1 picutre. Or if you get email from this fake ladies you need to be pay again. You need to be pay for all steps as gold member! Therefore the girls try to hold you and talk with you very long. Completely Bull$#*! and fraud site.
Very friendly to users who are not digital-savvy. Couldn't get my account to work after I forgot my password, so I contacted charmdate customer service and they helped within just a few hours. Customer service in most other online dating sites is usually dead, so I was pleasantly surprised! Keep it up!
I've had success with sending gifts and ladies have been responding because I got their attention. It's a bit unusual in modern speed dating site you can find something like flowers this old-fashioned! But I like it that Charmdate has the send virtual gifts feature and the flowers (they are real!). It's the only way now we can send flowers in real life I guess….
I also like the videos come along with the profiles, more straight forward and interesting. I personally think that if a person is willing to film a video for their online dating profiles they are really serious about it. Their updates have improved my dating experience. I find these features exciting.
I have nothing bad to say about Charmdate. Some chicks though… Lol. Be wise guys, especially when you meet a partner who just wants your bucks. That happens in all societies – online and offline. You can't blame it because under many situation this is how things work. Know what you want and go for it.
Just joined CharmDate.com for the first time. I had been in a relationship with a Russian girl. I already like what I see. I am hoping there are good things ahead.
There are so many, too many services on this site. Frankly, I am sort of an old-fashioned guy who thought he would rather stick to email than chat. Using this app however, has changed my opinion. It has convinced me to try for myself other avenues like call and live cam services. I am still trying more services, hopefully online dating works for me.
You won't doubt about a serious dating site or matchmaking agency because the matches are compatibility based. I am not sure yet but so far the people matched with me automatically are just what I'm looking for. Knowing how difficult it is to find a good match even in person I was not very skeptical about going into online dating. You wind up getting matched with a lady who has similar qualities and interests as you. Potentially, each date could lead somewhere and that's closer to what I've been looking for.
After having tried CharmDate, I have grown more positive about finding the right match for me though nothing really happened.
It is difficult to choose a dating site or app because there are so many even though you only want to hook up or just look. With so many good-looking and spectacular girls there made reachable, it is quite confusing to make a choice. This becomes very hard especially since all of them are attractive, charming and worthy. Choosing only one is the hardest choice. I have met a few from online to real life. To be honest, some are just fine, funny and nice but we didn't click. Some are so much different from what I though she was over the screen. Don't take online things too seriously, it's all about making choices and having fun. When you stop expecting too much you will start to enjoy it! Maybe that's the whole point of dating sites.
An example:
Picture 1. Gabriela Profile picture on Gabriela Krainova Instagram account June 2020
https://www.instagram.com/gabriellkrainova/
Picture 2. Gabriela Profile on CharmDate (ID: C*******)
Picture 3. Gabriela and her man about April 2019
Picture 4. Gabriela and her man about May 2019 (Monaco)
Picture 5. Gabriela and her man about October 2019
Picture 6. Gabriela and her man about November 2019. Caption Translation: "Thank God for you"
Picture 7. Gabriela and her man in the elevator to their "New Home" mid-May 2020
Picture 8. Gabriela and her man celebrating their "New Home" mid-May 2020. Caption Translation "With the housewarming us Vlad and I move. HORRAY".
I wonder if this woman actually has time to chat with this site's "Customers" between her man, her modeling jobs, travelling, and the other three plus dating sites where she has a profile posted.
All of this reminds me of the Aerosmith "Sweet Emotions" music video:

Good luck to you, but all this looks too suspicious and risky for me.
We are really at a great stage and we both want to progress further. I do hope that we can at some point exchange our personal information. I appreciate that many may use the site for different reasons to me, also I thank you for the wonderful gifts she received today. She is loving the perfume, flowers, chocolate and wine. We had a romantic toast to our future over the phone.
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.
