Your Opinion Needed

[mlazebnyi]

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Maksym Lazebnyi. I’m joint owner of starting international marriage agency from Dniprodzerzhynsk, Ukraine. Actually we have started in May, 2009 so we had time to know a little bit about work of marriage agency.

Since my business trip to Nikolaev (where I visited about 10 marriage agencies) I was looking for the ways to reveal and solve problems of “online dating” & “marriage agencies” services.

I ask you to leave your opinion about problem & solution and I will gladly take a take them to account.

So here the problems I tried to solve:

#1. Pay per letter money-sucking system of online dating service websites.
I saw a lot of agencies and have worked in marriage/dating business last during 7 months. And I’ve made conclusion that you can correspond with the lady for a few months (maybe even years) but your first meeting can cross out all your letters (believe me, I’ve already seen that).

#2. Scam!
There are lots of cases when the lady just does not appear on meeting with you. In that case local agency will refund your money for the date. But will $30 refunded make you feel better when you have spent hundreds for correspondence?
It is easy to avoid ladies scammers. Don’t give her money before you know her in person, ask agency for a help, if you decided to help lady with money. Agency staff will check if the lady is scamming.

Solution for #1 & #2: We can translate a couple of your letter to some ladies from our catalogue and send you response for free. One meeting will tell you about the lady more than hundreds of letters.

#3. Chemistry
Remember how you felt when you have touched your first love’s hand or kissed her. Do e-mails have something common with that? I don’t think so. Emails are needed only to keep in touch with person you already know and love until her fiancé visa will be ready.

Solution for #3:
We provide Skype voice & video chat just to keep illusion of personal meeting and let you to see how she blushes when she is shy.)))) It still far from personal date but it better then hundred of letters and it’s really needed for you two to get acquainted before your real date.

We provide such services as order of additional pictures or video interview just for fun and presents for lady to let you to court the lady while you are apart.

The best way to meet your soul mate is to really meet her! Come to Ukraine/Russia, meet the ladies, and spend some vacation with them. It will help you to know better if you are really liked each other.

Thank you for your attention!

Looking forward for your comments.

Best regards,
Maksym Lazebnyi.

[Faux Pas]

When I started this pursuit a little over 4 years ago, there were few agencies that were on the "up and up". I did manage to find a couple but for the most part by that time I was very disillusioned with anything remotely having to do with agencies after having been ripped off. The couple of sincerely honest agencies that I did find, I believe they are no longer in business. Perhaps because they WERE honest? I don't know. But, they did offer a good value at a fair price. The others, most of which are still in business and some of the most notable, were nothing but a hook with bait and switch tactics looking to bleed everyone for all they could.

I was thankful I found Elena's Models. It was my preferred way to contact ladies and the rate was reasonable. Luckily I found my now wife there. Even if I hadn't found her I would have been very pleased with the way they conducted their business. That being a flat upfront fee for member ship and real contact info for selected ladies.

How one would go about operating a legitimate agency, I have no clue. The term "marriage agency" has a bad connotation to it in and of itself IMO. I realize there are many lonely gullible men out there and most agencies business model is designed for those men and to bilk them. My suggestion would be to target the more sincere men with possibly a "club" approach. Much like EM's business model. Fair memberships and honest, sincere ladies but offer assistance to those that need it. FWIW
