This dating site is no better than any of the other Russian/Ukrainian dating sites. Within a week I was exchanging emails with 12 different women. It turns out they all started the same routine of confessions of their love for me and then they all abruptly stated financial hardships and requested money for phones, travel, and translator fees. I would love to find a real woman from this area but none of the dating sites are credible enough to trust. In my opinion Russian Cupid is garbage just like the Victoria Brides sites!
Met my pretty and smart Russian wife from Sankt Peterburg there in 2011. We divorced 2016 but that had nothing to do with RC. Met a great female friend from Vologda at RC in 2010.
I can recommend RC. I am back since 2 days.
Rules for success:
- Do NOT answer to NEW profiles... many are fake and disappear after 2 to 3 days... wait!
- Do NOT give your email... you will almost never get an answer. In todays communication world email is senseless.
- NOT all beautiful women there are fake, but also NOT all beautiful women there are real.
- ASK for other ways of communication where you can proof if it is a fake or not, such as whatsapp, skype, instagram or facebook.
- NEVER send money to someone you did not meet in person before.
- Do NOT trust pictures... sometimes girls are 10 years older and 10 kilogram more weight.
NEVER give up to find the right one... good luck hunting.
Sign up for free. Get bombarded with so many messages from attractive women, that you can't help but purchase a membership. Spend your valuable time constructing thoughtful emails. Then hear little to nothing in return.
I've been asked for my email address, which I have freely given - and received nothing.
I've been told by several profiles "I'm not on here very often" and yet their profiles are shown online (green dot) daily. I've written lengthy messages introducing myself, only to receive replies that read "Hi Steve".
In summary - just another scam site preying on men who are potentially seeking a genuine connection.

Real women also exist. There are also many fakes. Woman listening to an e-mail address immediately is a fake. You should always communicate on the site for several days. The fake woman is switched off soon, so you can see it soon
I am communicating with multiple woman with whatsapp and viber in this way. I also video-chatted to confirm with real woman
Ones I sign up to that site, after 2 days I was deactivates manager reply to my letter and said that I have to confirm location and tell them I use it from phone or from computer, which browser I have and a lot of other information like this. I replied all questions, they say replied again, said I should use site from other browser because Chrome block them, it was interesting why it block them? All people know Chrome browser block only different scam. So, they say about my browser and asked I send them scam of my passport. I sent them my passport and they replied me again - we will not reactivate you in this reason. In what reason? I wasted couple days to reply their questions, I sent them my passport for what? From that time site don't accept my profiles, I already tried to sign up couple times, one day to create account - other day I am deactivated. I think they create fake from my photos and passport and talk against me on their site but as I can't sign up there - I can't check it.

All those sites where you can hookup with Russian women are way too expensive. Most of them charge you by credits, letters, or whatever. They cost a fortune and most of them don't deliver what they promise. I am pretty happy there are honest and affordable sites like Russiancupid and Russiangirls4u. IMO don't waste your time and money anywhere else. Those sites ain't perfect but they work and won't leave you bankrupt.
As you get to know a lot of the girls and you start talking to them, there age is different and the almost always are in a different country than what they say. Most are from Ghana! Not Russia or Ukraine! I paid $79 for 3 months and in almost 2 weeks have found most of the profiles are fake stolen photos!

Of late with conversing with several woman, i find now i have 5 as i found out on a Russian site that investigates fakes.
Just today i thought of as much receiving 2 emails that are supposed to be separate woman,
And also have been sent to me video clip of saying hello to me and this one is with 11 year old daughter, we have been conversing for months and sending photos. And the other single and has shown me a cardboard with my name written on it as i talked to her about fakes. I couldnt believe it, i wander if i should confront them each with this shot of email to see there responses if any. I have sent them money a small amount as a gift. Now seem these 2 are the same individuals.or are they using an interpeter service that writes like this for them as i have had one that was really genuine and got an email that she couldnt afford to get her message translated as she had no more money to pay for her translations. So i feared the worst for her as she told me that jobs are low paying and they can kick you out anytime if business isnt going well, she lost her admin job in the fitness centre and was doing some odd jobs and if lost job would be out in the street. I tried to ring her and couldnt get in touch with her even by phone.so this is what goes on an never ending cycle of?
Yes, finally a couple of days back i decided to quit, although i have a full 12 months membership. I felt i needed a break with all the disappointments i went through, but they have sayed to me anytime i want to return just login and start up again. If you looking for older woman like really old looking and not that attractive even though they are only 50 or so and i dont mean to be rude against them and there are very attractive physically that age and above also, well you got a chance. But even though i am 60 i look like 40 and do training to keep fit, and i am attracted to younger woman 22 years and up to 40 years. I am at present communicating with a Ukrainan Lady, by surprise she email me concerned why i havent replied to her. She give me her whole life story practically with photos and an introduction clip saying my name, and she is absolutely beautiful, i thought to myself well if she is genuine i will give it a go for a relationship so i thought i will return my story to her and pics also. Its been 3 days now she hasnt replied because i wrote to her as she told me she is the Admin for the local Gym so i looked it up and i asked her is it the ` Good Zone `and also asked her the street she lives in so i can have a look on Google the Apartment Building, and asked her if she had a Passport and Drivers Licence, and i say it all very well to text but when i come to see you all shall be revealed, as she wants marriage with me. So lets see what happens.
I have joined 5 days ago and upgraded and most of them are from Ghana, or fake Ukraine and Russian, i have never been asked for money or anything like that, they have also never replied back, when texting of intent for further development in towards meeting. I even cannot login anymore and does not accept my support complaint always sends you to Q&A.
I even sent email and rang the office which always says, `i cannot take your call right now, email support`. I have saved a lot of text message and screen shots. Which is on my other pc. Which i will show if interested. The site should be shut down.
I Finally this morning by some luck Got Phone Support Answered, and talked to Support Team Member, actually she was very Helpful and told me they realise that there are problems and are trying to fix it Validate Members etc, but i am Validating my Authenticity also so Genuine Members will know its not fake. So i am back in the swing of things. I will update here as see how things progress on the site.
Russian Cupid are totally unresponsive to the fact that crime syndicates are running rampant through there site and what's more they are not doing anything. I got ripped off for $100k with elaborate scheme of made up wedding plans etc etc. and sure enough the same girl is doing Act 2. What is Russian Cupid doing? Protecting the criminals and screwing the people who are actually looking for a real relationship. Shame on you Russian Cupid.
I sign up on July 4 2018 on the website russiancupid.com and I don't even had a picture of my profile and I start getting messages from girls. After day 2 a girl with a name Daria send me her e-mail and told me to keep in touch. I wrote her and she said she was from Kaluga, Russia. I start sending messages back and foward. After a month she told me she wanted to meet me but she only had $800 and she needed $1000 to pay for everything else. I told her to skype and she had excuses. One day she called me with a private number and other day she skype to me but she claimed that her microphone was not working. She gave me her cellphone but I call and she never asnwer. Everything was weird. At the end I was able to find where she was because I am a hacker. And she was a liar because she was in Plodviv, Bulgary. I never sent money. Please never send money to this people because they are just trying to scam and they say that they feel love and everything is bull$#*!. I am attaching the picture of the scammer.
Jeg tilmeldte mig 30. 05. 18 første dage var jeg gratis medlem, de kom rigtig meget beskeder og interesse. Jeg købte Guld medlem, så var alle de interesserede piger væk. Jeg sendte ca. 45 beskeder til piger for at se om der er rigtige profiler, jeg fik 3-4 svaret tilbage. Alle de andre profiler kigger slet ikke på deres profiler eller måske der er falske profiler. Jeg vil slet ikke anbefale denne dating sidder for seriøst forhold. 90% af profiler eksisterer ikke og 10% af gamle dame over 45 år. Så hold din penge på din pung og Find en anden vej til russiske piger ( hvis du tænker på noget seriøst). Profiler uden billeder er godt nok irriterende, du skal aldrig give dem email, der er fuldstændig falske profiler som græve penge efter to eller email.
I sign up 19 of May on Russian Cupid site and 21 of May I was deactivated. I wrote manager to ask what happen and they asked my passport, I sent them my passport and know what they reply?
Dear member,
Thank you for contacting us.
Unfortunately we are not reactivate your profile in this occation.
They ask for passport and it mean nothing, I am real person and now I get why many people say that all on Cupid site is fake, because they don't care what people think about them and what they write about them, they don't care you are real or fake. I think now that they create fakes themselves and deactivate real people to they don't waist to scam people by their fakes profiles. If it is not like that why so easy they deactivate real woman who even risked to add her passport?
Looks like Cupid don't need real members. How can I know now if my photos and my passport site will not use to create another fake on their site?
I tried so much but my own profile was rejected, what might have been the problem? Can anyone help me

Spent 6 months talking to 4 separate women for a long time before deciding to visit one of them. All 4 at one time or another asked me to help them with a small amount of money or said they wanted to visit me first but i needed to send them money for bus ride to airport etc... come to find out all 4 were fakes and wasted so much of my time and writing to me on skype/letters that went into detail about my life and theirs. I looked online first to see if the site was a scam and i didnt see anything but i am finding that maybe the site is not a scam but the majority of women on it that pretend to want to know you are more than fake when it comes down to actually meeting.
Never send a dime, dont let them try and make you feel bad about not believing them that's their game, and even though they talk to you for a long time and tell you personal information they can still turn out to be fakes. On Skype i saw 3 of them but that was to build their credibility so they could try and get money from me.

The website has real girls..., unfortantly some will try to scam... The best thing for you to reduce getting asked for money is put it in your profile and basically say "Will not pay anyone under any condition." I can assure you that 70% of the scammers will not bother with you... the 30% are just bots that constantly create new accounts to try and scam only to have there account terminated lol. Avoid anyone living in "GHANA." (That's in africa btw.)
There a lots of genuine girls.
But be careful of girls asking your email address! They are scammers. Suddenly they will dissapered if you ask them fotos and WhatsApp!
They target mostly new one's!
1. Keep communication on site for a while at least 2-3 weeks then you will see!
Worst is Ukrainian Dating! All scam!
I sign up yesterday, create profile add passport to prove I am real person and today my profileis deactivated by manager. I never wrote noone letter to no one there. Looks like they are not interested in real people-users. They only collect girls passports and photos and create fakes to man pay for communication with them.

I've been on-and-off the site since 2012. Upon joining, I met a cool girl and we became friends. The age difference between the two of us made it somewhat awkward for either of us to consider anything serious; she is 15 years younger than I am. In spite of that, she and I are still friends to this day. I did have a few ups and downs; I did come across a number of women that wanted me to send money for one unbelievable reason, or the next. However, in July of 2016, I met a girl living in SPb. Our interaction flourished, and of course, we had some ups and downs. We even stopped talking for a couple of months. In June 2017, we started chatting again, and she decided to visit me in the U.S. She came here in October 2017, and we quickly connected. In accordance with US immigration policies, she decided to head back to SPb a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, I will be meeting her in a couple of months where I plan to propose to her... I'm pretty sure she will say yes loll...
I'm somewhat surprised that this actually worked out for me. Oh, by the way, she is one of the attractive types of Russian lady - tall (taller than me in fact), fit body, beautiful eyes and face, and clearly, well educated. Like I said, I'm still shocked that all of this is happening. RussianCupid.com - you rock! I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Hey, can my lady and I be in one of your "success story ads" that you display on your site?
Congratulations on meeting your partner! We would love to hear your story, kindly email us at [email protected]
"""Sooner or later they all ask for money.""" I am a very good looking young guy, 29, HERE IS HOW THE SCAM WORKS:
ONE GIRL WANTED TO HAVE MONEY FOR HER STUDIES AND THE OTHER TOLD ME HER BROTHER HAD CAR ACCIDENT; AND BOTH GIRLS NEEDED MONEY; i knew from beginning that it was a scam, but i played to game. And here is how it works: It seems they have free employees, which can rip your money like they want, she will tell you nice things bla bla bla, than she says never cheat with other, (because you shouldn't talk with others so they're scam concept won't attract attention), after some time she says she will love you bla bla bla do everything but she really needs help and so on... pls send money to my paypal account.
