I did meet her.
March 4, 2015

I've always dreamt of Russian or Ukrainian woman. They are thought to be gorgeous, adventurous, kind.
With all the scams out in the web I actually never thought that this site would help me find her, But it helped... thanks to all of you.

Luckily I didnt lose so much money. First my profile was in english and I started to write to one of "girls". It didnt go anywhere and I stopped after 5 paid letters. Then made my profile to see, if I would get real response but still only pre-written emails. One of those letters even came without "girls" name, jus plain "Hello, my name is NAME". After that I changed ly profile I to russian with kyril letters and still not even one single letter who really looked my profile and answered my question. After that I saw two "girls " online and I asked them in chat to read my profile and email to me again. Nothing. Even their contact us doesnt reply my request to remove my account. Now Im 100% sure its pure scam. If they were legit service they should provide information about their "girls", like when they joined to service. After my experience I talked with my friend Who joined their site few years ago and he said there are still same profiles with same pictures. So better save your money because russianbrides.com will only drain you dry.

I met Zhenya through RussianBrides. She represents the woman I have always dreamed of. She is beautiful, feminine, and sexy. She knows how to be a good housewife and her cooking is excellent. She takes care of herself and has a clear lifestyle.
Thank you for bringing happiness to our life.

Once I tried my luck on russian site vkontakte. I didnt like that at all... my experience with this site was very quick and unpleasant.
And by the way this site is for free, but I didnt find any nice girl to start any relations.
Thanks to the accident. Was advised to check this site, russianbrides. And I did like firstly, because it is paid. There just cant be scam or smth else.
We all want as much as possible for free... but free cheese simply doesnt exist:)

It is my second try. And I would like to receive a great result from it! :). .
If not. I know what to do in that case..

I still think that not all Russian or Ukrainian girls are scammers. The woman is not interested in you anymore – think about your behavior. Or do you believe you are doing everything right and you are perfect? No, nobody is perfect!
Don't give up, start getting smarter about the whole process. Some men see things from their viewpoint only. Try to see that from a woman's viewpoint – these women take huge risks themselves, as well.

I get to know couples who are from mixed cultures. Many of them are really happy. But have you seen a pilot who would fly Boeing 747 after a 2 week course? Not going to happen, right? So how can you figure out a person (who is a very "complicated machinery") in one meeting through an interpreter at some dating agency meeting? And then those guys come here and complain that they are not meeting decent girls. Of course! It takes time, effort and money. The key is understanding culture, traditions and language.

Don't pay for the service
December 26, 2014

Don't pay for the service. Finally you get nothing but money loss. Those girls won't give you the personal contacts that I thought it is kind of scam. So it will force you continue to spend money for reading and sending emails if you want to keep in touch with someone who may not be real.

I was very sincere with Galina. I think that women are more sensitive and intuitive than the men and they feel when a man is dishonest. Once I've realized I have a feeling of her, I made a statement as to which direction I'd like our relationship to develop.
My advice to you, guys, don't waste both your and her time bouncing around in uncertainty.

We don't need all those money, expensive cars or clothes. All we need is love!
When you find you real soul mate, everything is important about this person. That's why I am coming to Russia to see my future wife's relatives.
Irina didn't talk much about them, but I do understand it is important to know who are close to the person you like to understand what is the person like with you!..

This online service is not free. But guys, how much are you ready to pay? Should it cost 1$ or maybe 1 cent is enough? In this case you better look for the girl outside the internet, just in the cafes or among your friends. RussianBrides asks payment for the services improved by many years' experience and takes full responsibility for their actions.
I do recommend!

Unlike some guys who posted negative reviews here I was lucky to find a Ukrainian woman that is really a special person, warm-tender-loving. This site WORKS!

I think it is absolutely fabulous to find a russian girl even not leaving your country.
Because of my work, I travel a lot so now I am in Romania for couple of months. Still my laptop with me, I can keep in touch with hose girls.
Incredible!

Never give up!
November 29, 2014

Never give up! Your love could be somewhere here. I met my Olga here, almost a year ago. I remember how shy we were at the beginning. It was difficult to believe to each other. But when we left back all our fears, we spent hours talking. We could build very tender relations. And we are grateful to RussiaBrides a lot!

I joined Russian Brides and quickly received 500 mails from the most beautiful women you could wish to see. I decided, against my better judgement, to buy some credits. You can send emails for free but you have to pay with credits to open the replies... and believe me they will reply. 20 emails later, I realised that the replies were sometimes accurate and sometimes vague and generic. I offered to meet her, she said yes but next year when they have holidays. She then wrote to me asking me when I have a holiday! Does not make sense. The same girl... 20 emails later and asking me when I am having a holiday yet we'd supposedly arranged to meet in January 2015. Just one example of many I could quote... but I hope you get the point!

I conclude that they are paid commission... and "they" could be anyone! A little old bloke in a room who is masquerading as a beautiful young bride. It's a scam! Save your money!

To begin with this site offers some of the most beautiful women in the world however, their rates charged to talk to a woman are based on coins... to buy 20 coins it costs you currently $16 or 80 cents per coin, you can get them the cheapest buying coins at 1000 for 400 dollars. USD (about 1/2 the cost to fly over there priced that at 852.00 today. Well Expensive? Just find a cute girl here in America ask if you can take 5 pictures of her and start making part of the money there charging as a girl. Call your self "HILDABOMB". It costs a 10 coins to open a letter, 10 coins to send a letter, a coin a minute to chat, 10 coins a minute for video chat. Phone calls are about the scam. Come on in 10 minutes spend 80 bucks for a phone call when we now have skype and facetime... this company is trying to screw the general public so keep your money in your pocket If they married you then you were lucky you must of looked hard to find the one real woman who joined looking for love. So if you hear the vaccume at your wallet its definately Russian Brides. Com!. Screwed blued and tatooed! Since Anastasia Date is parent company, I would stay away from them too! Respectifully and true, JW!
