Need someone..
September 11, 2015

So far a happy experience with RussianBrides. I have chatted with two ladies online. We talk about the good things in daily life, share different cultures and traditions. I need someone to listen to my loneliness.

Do you dream to visit Russia or Ukraine? RussianBrides is your gateway there. You should speak with the girls long enough to understand their world, their culture. I can promise that all girls I have met on this site are real. There is a lot of difference in the culture than what I expected. They are a lot more family and gender-oriented than Americans. (meaning the roles that men and women play in daily life)

Cool.
September 5, 2015

Why all this negative approach to online dating? I signed up here and had some nice chats, I'm not saying that the site is all good, but it's not all that bad either! My advice to everyone is to take it easy and have fun...!

Saw an advertising..
August 31, 2015

I’ve used this site in the past. It is genuine. Though I still think that finding a Russian/Ukrainian girl who is right for you, is not an easy task. She may be good-looking, but you will have little in common as the culture is so different. I was a little drunk one night, was on a few local internet dating sites, saw an advertising on Google for RussianBrides, signed up, got a couple of positive responses, sent a brief email to some women, got some standard responses, and one humorous response. Thought to myself, this is not for me, sent an email to the humorous respondent... not romantic just joking and kept corresponding until I married the woman.

Good!
August 31, 2015

For me RussianBrides is one of the best dating sites out there if you are looking for love in Eastern European countries.

I met a lot of great women there, not just from a love but also friendship point of view. Most of the people I met are genuine people, looking for genuine relationships.

I agree with some of you guys that say its a scam and some that say its real and takes time. If you meet a female on here and you and here have been talking for about a week or so and she doesn't want to give you a way to contact her other than through this site it might be a scam and you should just move on. Also if the girl you're talking to is absolutely beautiful and you not so much its a possibility she might be scamming. I met a female on a site we talked via the website for about a week then i asked her for a way to talk to her without using the site and she gave me her VK info. Shes never asked me for money to send her gifts or anything like that. My subscription to the site expired we still talk through VK and I'm going to Russia in September. Fellas you gotta be smarter if you look like Smeagol from lord of the Rings and she looks like she belongs on the cover of a magazine she probably scamming. If a woman you meet from a dating site is truly interested she will give you a way you to contact her

Scam
July 22, 2015

Started out great. Tons of letters. In 2 days 240 letters. First letter is free to read. Follow up, cost. Text chat, cost. Video cam, cost some more, but no audio, still have to text. Extra pictures cost. Picked 6 to respond to. First one, cam share, spent hours. She was beautiful, boring, was not feeling her. Cost $250 in 1 interaction. 2nd, Live chat, 3 times. Had potential. Cost $250.3rd, cam share, twice. Didn't feel right. Cost $250.4th, attractive, but not as stunning as the first 3. Live chat sent pictures, 4 times. Amazing conversation, we having fun, things are flowing. I suggest that we go to Skype or Viber. All the other wanted to say on site. This one I though would be different. Same story. Excuses, no Skype, Viber or email. Trying to keep me on the site. I tell her I've spent over a $1000 in 1 week so if we can't go of site, that's it. She wants to know why, She tells me that she's feeling me and knows that I'm feeling her. I gave her my Skype, Viber, email and never went back to the site. Never heard from her or any of the others. This is a money making scam. After 4 charges in a week, even my PayPal blocked the site. Beware, I think these girls work for the site and the goal is to keep you locked in. Even if you lucked up and got to meet one, you have to do it thru the site

This website is no more than a scam. Majority of these girls are not single and get paid to have their pictures taken as well as chat online with the "customers". They are in fact dishonest.

Piece of advice: Don't throw your money away on this.

Proof:
If you don't believe me, look up ID: *******.
Then go look up http://www.iphoneogram.com/u/*******
She said she was single. After doing some digging, I found out that she was not and then she lied saying she was kissing her best friend. When I tried to contact Customer service over this problem, They never even once replied back.
So I spent close to $1000. 00 talking to this girl for no reason. A mistake I never intend to repeat.

If you can't afford to be on the site... you can try your luck at a cheaper site that sells email addresses.

I have read the reviews and all of them seem a little bit to fake bots for example (who knows I might be mistaken) but I wanted to try it first hand, so I started writing to a couple of chicks and after the 3rd letter I laid a bait "you can also contact me on my personal email" and guess what? After tons of nice words and pretending to be falling for me, oh man you are so nice, bla bla bla... they stopped writing kinda interesting isn't it?. So I had my suspicions that the girls might be the ones on the pics buuuutttttt... they just work for the agency making you spend some money for which they may have some kind of commission, bonus or something. Anyways call it just bad luck but still be alert cause from my point of view if they were true what difference does it make writing through the site or any other different method?

It was wonderful 3 months with russianbrides.com. It is sad to stop using it, but from the other hand it is the happiness to have the best reason for that. The girl from Odessa, who i met just in February, said YES I DO. So I wish good luck to everyone who still has hopes and desires for being in love.

What a great site
March 18, 2015

Russian women can bring into your life some bright moments and different feelings.
When I met Inna, I did not think of her seriously as my future. Flirting and chatting gradually turning into my fresh air and my life now. I could not waited for her to be online to again.
I decided to meet this gorgeous woman in Russia to be sure she was real and for me to understand where I am going with this relationship.
It was beyond my expectation! It is worth it to be registered and worth all the time that I spent there.

Adorable girls

The name of the site speaks for itself. It gives the possibility for all men to date Russian, Ukrainian women. It’s not a secret that they are very beautiful women, and they are a dream of every man. So here you have the opportunity to make love with these adorable girls directly from your computer.

The most joyful relations that I have had in my life was with the girl from Ukraine. We met in GB, when we were at a summer english school. Since then I have never met and date such kind of girl. I decided to try russianbrides.com in purpose to find the same emotions that I had once with ukrainian girl.
