New member saying Hi!
« on: September 15, 2008, 11:25:05 AM »
Hi everyone
My name is Stephan and I'm 31 years old.
I'm interested in finding a very kind, sweet and beautiful Russian woman.

A friend of mine recommended a site called Behappy2day.com to meet Russian women.
I became a member and got a lot of response from the women on the site, but I just got this feeling that something wasn't right.
I did a search and found out that Behappy2day was a bit fishy.
Can somebody confirm that?
I've already written with some girls which I like, but now I'm not sure if they are real or if they are just playing games to get me to buy more credits.

Is there a way I can confront these girls and get some kind of proof that they are genuinely interested and not just acting to get me to use more money on their so-called "romance tour"?

I have also registered on Elena's models from a recommendation on this site.
Is that a safe site to use?


Thanks

Hi Stephan and welcome to RWD.   

Both BeHappy and Elena's can be dangerous sites.   The danger with BeHappy is that all 20 ladies you are writing to may actually be the same employee sitting in the office churning out letters.  Elena's can be a dangerous site too.  The danger is you might end up married.  ;)

A lot of us, including myself, have found their wives on Elena's  That doesn't mean it is the only good site or that you can't find a scammer there or a bad woman but it works.   There are a lot of other good sites such as freepersonals.ru, merry dating and lots more.  Scanning through the posts will let you know the good from the bad.

Personally I would look for sites that let you contact the woman directly with no per letter charge but there are some sites that do charge per letter that are OK.   Read, Read, and Read and it will all become clear to you.

Hi Stephan! You are welcome to RWD! You made a good decision :) Well, i understand completely what you are talking about as i used to work for agency before! The only thing i can tell, all agencies are alike, but some of them more corrupted and others less. But you always take a risk. So, my advice, first, try www.flirt.ru and if you are going to Ukraine for example to my city Kharkov, the best way is to give classified add for you in "Premier" newspaper, one week before you come and one week while you are there. This is the most popular Kharkov newspaper and everybody reads it. So, to my mind, these ways are much better then any agency. At least, you wan't meet lots of scam there, more of reality. I think my info will help you! Take care! :)

Thanks for the welcome and advice  :)
The classified ad is a very good ide, but maybe a bit difficult for one that doesn't read or speak Russian.
A friend of mine is married to a woman from Samara and she work at the same place as I, when she come back from maternity leave maybe I can practice my Russian on her. ;)

I have actually downloaded a couple of "Learn Russian" cd's and learning to read and understand a few words shouldn't be too difficult if I can remember the letters that are different for ours.

Welcome to RWD Sharx!
The classified ads certainly are not the only way, but they seem to more realistic good quality women, and in my experience they are the BEST way of meeting a good woman in Ukraine.
And, you don't need to speak Russian to place an ad, as a good interpreter / guide will take of all the details for you.

Hi there!  :)You don't need to know Russian. I advise you www.flirt.ru and classified add because these two ways are the most realistic then any other ways. The only thing you need is to have reliable friend/interpreter to do all these stuff for you. If you have questions or advice-you are always welcome! Take care!
