What site would you reccomend now?

[Eduard]

Super shuttle = $75.00 round trip (approx). There, I saved you $125. Thank me later.

One thing to know, that taxi service in Kiev is extremely cheap if you call a taxi by phone. It can be 2 to 5 times more expensive when you just try to get a cab on the street. When we walked out of the bowling place and asked a couple of cabies hanging by the door for the price to drop off the girl and take us home (we lived 2 minutes away from her) they quoted us 250 Hrivna!!!    I took out my phone and called a cab that arrived in 7 minutes, price - 70 Hrivna, which is under $9.00 US compared to $32.60 the other guys quoted me.
I did the same for the airport ride for 120 Hrivna ($15 US) each way.
They have an excellent buffet style restaurant near the apartment where I like to stay in Kiev. The food is a lot better than Puzata Hata (a popular buffet style chain in Ukraine) but the prices are ridiculously low! We had plenty to eat there for breakfast every morning before the dates for $5 to $6 per person! I still miss that food, it was out of this world! And the place was really nice and classy too. The 2 room, excellent, designer decorated modern apartment was about $70 per night for both of us (they have security downstairs too). So IMO it can be  quite inexpensive to go on vacation in Kiev. Surely one can spend hundreds on food at expensive restaurants (where IMO food is usually very "so, so") or you can go to a nice Sushi place (almost all women love Sushi) and spend a very reasonable $25 to $40 per person on dinner and drinks.

It is always amazing what happens to pricing when they hear a western accent.

Which chain do you prefer over PH?

Thank God I got one who wouldn't eat sushi unless you put a gun to her head.

I suspect he means parking his car in long term parking in the US.

Two people on the Super Shuttle = $150.........

[dogspot]

Two people on the Super Shuttle = $150.........

Why two people? I always fly solo to the FSU and I either have a friend or family menber drop me off/pick me up or I take Super Shuttle. They drop me off at my terminal every time and I don't have to worry about my car sitting in a parking lot at LAX for 2 weeks. And it's cheaper.

That said, I have never spent more than $3000 on any of my 6 trips to Russia, including my 30 days spent in Novosib last winter. I can see how people could easily spend a lot on these trips, but it's not difficult to do it for much less if you're flexible and you know what you're doing.

[ECOCKS]

He's married man.

[dogspot]

He's married man.

Who? Xman? (hint: look to see who I quoted)

Not that the OP's friend couldn't use this valuable information to save a few bucks too. (I'm assuming he's single since he's thinking about looking for a wife)

By the way, Chade1968, I'm glad to hear that things are going so well with you and your wife. Cheers.

My bad, I thought that comment was from Kiev's $5,000 assertion. Sorry      

[kievstar]

I think when a friend posts on here that his friend needs help with RW than he should hire someone to hold his hand the first time.  Free personals will be a trainwreck for him.  Just because free personals work for some not all people it works for.  Any man who asks how big of an age gap can he marry, what is a good RW site, etc. needs hand holding the first time.

smart business people know that there are situations where it makes more sense to hire an expert/consultant to reach a certain goal or objective rather than try to become an expert in every field himself and make a ton of costly mistakes while spending years becoming an expert in the said field. If you need litigation, are you going to become a lawyer just to fight one case in court? Or does it make more sense to hire a professional trial attorney to do this for you? If you need your offices decorated do you become a professional decorator and do it yourself? Or hire one to do this for you while you are focused on your business? Do you hire an accountant to do your books or do you say "no I don't want any one to hold my hand" and go to school to become an accountant and do it yourself?

Major corporations hire headhunters to create a pool of eligible, qualified candidates. They are not embarrassed to have a consultant/expert hold their hand through the process that they are not as familiar with or are as good at as an expert in that field.

Finding a women for a relationship doesn't exactly equate to heart surgery or preparing a case for trial. I'm not pooing on your service here Eduard. I'm sure there are MANY men that could benefit from it but, those ARE the guys that would require hand holding. I would suggest most men wouldn't need it if they are socially adept at all. In a nutshell that is what you provide, a hand holding service, a paid "wingman". There's nothing wrong with that however, your sugar coating of it is way over the edge IMO

First I'd like to say that I don't hold hands with any men, period.
And now, on a serious note I think that you don't have a complete understanding of what it is that I do. The most important thing is that I provide an excellent translation service both, during the corresponding stage and when we travel to the FSU. I advise and bring to a client's attention things that only a native Russian speaker can pick up during our visit. I've had experienced guys hire me to just do translation for them because they knew that they could trust me and because they didn't trust agency translators. I help a man and a woman to really get to know each other and her family, if I see any red flags I will immediately alert him. My clients find that part of my service extremely important and helpful. I take care of all the logistics when we travel so he can just enjoy dating without having to stress out over things that can go wrong when you are in a foreign country and don't speak the language. I also save them hundreds of hours of searching by helping them separate good profiles from nonesense.
FP, you keep saying that "you are not pooing on my service", but you kinda are... Why don't you actually read what my former clients say about it, rather than continue talking about it as if you ever worked with me and know exactly what I do? I could understand your desire to criticize if there were some people unhappy with my service, but the fact is that every one has nothing but good to say about working with me. That is off course people who actually did work with me. Doesn't that count for anything in your book, FP?
This was posted on RUA just yesterday by the guy who worked with me most recently and we went to ST. Pete, Samara and Kiev together.
Do you see him, or any one else complaining about my service? NO, so why are you being consistantly negative about it??
Why not aknowledge that if so many RUA forum members and even a couple of RWD members who used me are happy with the results of working with me that means that I obviously do something right and that my method works?

[ECOCKS]

You asked about sites and we sort of sidetracked on tours so I'll chime in with another observation.

I have to say that Eduard's service (no relation BTW) can provide an efficiency and level of confidence that I find lacking when reading about tour operations and the loners who insist they know what they're doing in their search.

Yes, there are terps you can get in-country, like Mila and Stirlitz for example, who come with recommendations and, importantly, are "on your side" and not subject to suspicion. there are a couple of wives who are declared as commercial members for and can handle three-way calling and translation of letters for you. I see Eduard a bit differently though.

His service reminds me of the concierge level services that you can expect from a good hotel. Hit him with the standards of interpreting, writing your profile, arranging best-deal air and accommodations wherever you're heading and so on, but also able to explain the intricacies of customs, handle introductions with the parents, advise on gift-giving (and what not to give), even handle bribing the cop if you're pulled-over (you'd do that wouldn't you Eduard? OK, maybe not.). All of these bring you out on the playing field (not that you're a player!) with a coach who has been down the pike a time or two already.

While I didn't use him it seems like he gets a lot of positive reviews from those that do and the cost efficiency seems to ring true considering the guys who have been 6, 8 11 times or more and still are complaining they haven't met the right gal yet. His scam radar is certainly tuned up and there is little doubt whose "side" he's on when rendering advice.

Ok, I'm not his shill but his service is a bit unique and, most of all, seems successful compared to the few posts we have seen from guys offering to be your driver and bodyguard terp while doing your visit. We talk all the time about tour operators and analyze their methods and motivations but, his blushes aside, maybe we should consider the options in retaining a personal assistant, Doctor Love or matchmaker in pursuit of your FSUW relationship?

Do you see him, or any one else complaining about my service? NO, so why are you being consistantly negative about it??

No Eduard I was not pooing on or criticizing your service. You are too defensive. However, almost every one of your posts you turn into a commercial about your service then get defensive when someone else makes a comment on it. Especially if it isn't positive toward you or your method.

This would have been more critical. The fact is, most men do not "need" your services. Quite honestly you offer nothing I would have found helpful when I was searching. I completely understand everyone isn't like me. Basically, you are a paid wingman who speaks the language. Personally, I couldn't fathom paying someone to be my shadow while I went on dates. You are a safety net and a cheerleader for the more timid to downright scared men. Bordering on men that don't have a brass set of nads to find their own women. If these guys don't have the fortitude to know when and what women they find interesting and also know when women are interested in them, they likely have far worse problems than women.  

There are men who without your service would likely never get on a plane, I realize that but, your inference to newbies is very misleading. Most don't "need" you or your method. Most will be just fine using the centuries old tried and proven method of "boy meets girl" and let nature take it's course. Most any newbie with a computer and half a brain will figure it out. Your niche is hand holding and the peddling of comfort to those with fragile egos. You know the white stuff on chicken shyt? Well, that's chicken shyt too.

I'm not interested in your thread on another forum. I judge you by your posts here just as you judge me. I believe you when you boast of your stable of happy customers. If you are all happy theres no need for you to get so defensive and my personal feeling should have no value.

[Eduard]

You are a safety net and a cheerleader for the more timid to downright scared men. Bordering on men that don't have a brass set of nads to find their own women.

  How do you know that? Have you ever met or talked to any of my clients? You are just ass-uming and basically making things up! Some of the guys I have worked with are cops, ex-marines, doctors, lawyers, bodybuilders, powerful, successful, very handsome men who can and do get plenty of women where they live. But some don't feel that those women are "marriage material or they had an experience with a RW and got hooked, or just got fed up with AW/CW's attitude and are looking for a more feminine type that they hope to find in a Slavic woman, etc. Each person has his own reasons.  These guys use me not because they are "timid or scared", as you put it, but because they understand the importance of really getting to know each other BRFORE marriage, and understanding who the heck are you marrying. Because they don't want to go through the same experience that so many WM go through when they marry a RW thinking that they got to know her by communicating in broken English. How naive! then once she is in the US a WM suddenly writes: "She changed on me! Just a few months in the USA and she is a completely different person!". NO SHE AIN'T!! You were just too ignorant to know that it is hard to truly get to know any woman, even the one from your own back yard in just a few weeks, but to think that  you can "know" a woman from another country, another culture, with limited communication and in a very short time is beyond naive. 

No one changes in just a few months simply because they crossed the border. A person's core values don't change. You just now are getting to know the real her since her English improved and she doesn't need to play games any longer.

No one can help them avoiding these disasters better than a native Russian speaker who knows RW, who knows the culture, who has plenty of life experience to recognise red flags and read between the lines and who also went through the whole process of searching, finding, meeting, filing for K-1 and bringing his lady to the USA, having a family with her. That person is me.
The fact that you are unwilling to read the reviews of my service by my actual clients is quite telling...why bother with the truth when you can just make things up and dump on me?

[chivo]

No Eduard I was not pooing on or criticizing your service. You are too defensive. However, almost every one of your posts you turn into a commercial about your service then get defensive when someone else makes a comment on it. Especially if it isn't positive toward you or your method.

If you're not sure about what he can provide why comment? I will never understand why people give Ed such a hard time. Maybe that's why he gets a little defensive.

If you look above his name it clearly states he's a commercial member. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this a capitalistic world we're dealing with? He is an owner operator of a business which makes him a CEO, Manager, Salesman, etc. all rolled into one. I would attack him IF he wasn't doing all of his jobs.

Maybe there are things he can improve on just like any other business. It's called running a normal business.

This would have been more critical. The fact is, most men do not "need" your services. Quite honestly you offer nothing I would have found helpful when I was searching. I completely understand everyone isn't like me. Basically, you are a paid wingman who speaks the language. Personally, I couldn't fathom paying someone to be my shadow while I went on dates.

If these guys don't have the fortitude to know when and what women they find interesting and also know when women are interested in them, they likely have far worse problems than women.

I think you underestimate the value of knowing the language first of all. I don't care how savvy you think you are, the fact is if you or anyone for that matter were coming to Moscow I could easily save you $1000+ on accommodations alone if I was so inclined (and I'm not for many reasons) for a 2 week stay simply because I know where to look and I speak Russian which is also vital to get this saving. And we’re talking about apples to apples accommodations. Something I now know how to do after living here for years, like Ed.

He also doesn’t tag along if the customer wants to go it alone an saves men valuable time looking for or weeding out potential prospects which can be extremely costly both monetarily and emotionally..

There are men who without your service would likely never get on a plane, I realize that but, your inference to newbies is very misleading. Most don't "need" you or your method.

Your niche is hand holding and the peddling of comfort to those with fragile egos. You know the white stuff on chicken shyt? Well, that's chicken shyt too.

Of course nobody needs his service but if we only talk about saving money and nothing else he has provided a very important service, forgetting about women for the time. It doesn’t just end with accommodations either as it can extend to food, taxi’s, entertainment, etc.

I first came to Russia 12 years ago, on my own. I did many things on my own, but believe me I would have loved to have a wingman on that first trip, especially one who knew the lay of the land and could have schooled me on things for my subsequent visits…ALONE.
 
It has nothing to do with ego or having nads, it just is plain fiscally smart over the long run because one trip is not what this venture takes.

I'm not interested in your thread on another forum. I judge you by your posts here just as you judge me. I believe you when you boast of your stable of happy customers. If you are all happy theres no need for you to get so defensive and my personal feeling should have no value.

Again why judge at all? Especially when you don’t know what’s involved. Seems kinda strange no? I mean one could easily think it was personal.

Because I've done it and I didn't need Eduard  or a "professional consultant" to screen the ladies or act as a go between. I have no problem with him promoting his business as allowed by the TOS. It's the dishonesty he promotes I have a problem with. He doesn't provide anything most can do for themselves.

Maybe there are things he can improve on just like any other business. It's called running a normal business.

And we’re talking about apples to apples accommodations. Something I now know how to do after living here for years, like Ed.

Saving money chivo? Are you serious? Thats funny? Because he knows the language he's going to save someone $1000+ on a two week trip? Sure, often there is a local price and then the foreigner price and often the foreigner can get the local price without Eduard. Who do you suspect pays for Eduard's travel, lodging, incidentals and fee? How much do they save there?

He also doesn’t tag along if the customer wants to go it alone an saves men valuable time looking for or weeding out potential prospects which can be extremely costly both monetarily and emotionally..
Of course nobody needs his service but if we only talk about saving money and nothing else he has provided a very important service, forgetting about women for the time. It doesn’t just end with accommodations either as it can extend to food, taxi’s, entertainment, etc.

He doesn't mention much about those that doesn't buy the Full Monty so I'll take your word for it. He might or might not weed out good prospects for the customer. Who's to know? Eduard says this girl is a bad prospect or a possible GTG or scammer, so she is? BS. Again you mention possible savings but nothing of the cost of Eduard. Are you getting a cut?

I first came to Russia 12 years ago, on my own. I did many things on my own, but believe me I would have loved to have a wingman on that first trip, especially one who knew the lay of the land and could have schooled me on things for my subsequent visits…ALONE.

Most go at this ALONE chivo and are not the worse for wear because of it. If someone wishes to hire out their search for a woman, fine. If they wish to hire a wingman on the ground fine, no sweat off my brow. Eduard's preaching in post after post how his service and method beats all the others well guess what, it doesn't. Thousands of men are doing it all the time and no Eduard or "professional consultant" is involved. The new guys that may pass by these boards should know that.
 

It has nothing to do with ego or having nads, it just is plain fiscally smart over the long run because one trip is not what this venture takes.
Again why judge at all? Especially when you don’t know what’s involved. Seems kinda strange no? I mean one could easily think it was personal.

It's got everything to do with having the nads, the patience and the fortitude to going to a strange country where you do not speak the language to meet ladies. Some men do not have it, others do.

Why judge chivo? Why are you judging me now? Because that what we do on these forums, we are always judging and questioning advice given and received.

I know what's involved, I've done it. Does my experience not count for anything? Does Eduard's or yours triumph my experience because he's Russian or because you speak the language? I advise any newbie to stay away from Eduard. There is no savings to using his particular method or doing it yourself. Translators and friends on the ground in-country can be obtained much cheaper than duplicating logistical expenses in travel, food and lodging or paying a "professional" consultant fees

[kievstar]

Eduard and Jack IMHO provide a lot of value. I have yet to see someone who used them complain.  I am sure they have some unhappy customers but that would be expected. 

You will find on this board there are a few if you do not do it like them your wrong.  If you use an agency your going to get scammed.  You use free personals you going to find a hooker. 

That is why I only take seriously people who Post pictures of their wife on this board.

look who is talking out of both sides of his mouth. You were projecting when you accused me of doing that FP, it is clear. On one hand you say that you don't want to "poo" on my service, and from the other side of your mouth comes out: "I advise any newbie to stay away from Eduard". What's your agenda? Surely it's not to help a newbie! Most of my clients had been looking for 2 or 3 years BEFORE they came to me. So they definitely weren't newbies and by the time I started working with them they had already either been scammed, and wasted thousands on several trips to Ukraine just to meet a few prodaters. Some guys had spent 20 to 40 K "learning the ropes". Then after working with me just for a few months they had their girl. Is that a bad thing?

How would it hurt a newbie if I helped them skip all the years of the "learning curve", tens of thousands wasted and helped them find their girl in a matter of just a few months and relatively inexpensive?
At this point one thing is clear to me, you do have an agenda. Rather than letting people  read the forum, look at all the options available to them, and make an informative decision on which method of looking for a RW suits them best, you are badmouthing my service without any basis in fact.

Eduard and Jack IMHO provide a lot of value. I have yet to see someone who used them complain.  I am sure they have some unhappy customers but that would be expected.  

Kievstar, first, thanks for standing up and supporting me during this outrageous, completely uncalled for attack. Pretty unbelievable that it's coming from a MOD...but hey, Marxists are running our country now, so I guess anything is possible!
One thing I have to clarify though is that up to date I haven't had any unhappy customers contrary to your statement above. Surely it might happen in the future because I have to deal with all kinds of personalities, but so far I've been pretty lucky. maybe because before I take on a client I do talk with them extensively and try to figure out if we are on the same page about things and if they have realistic expectations. In other words I do screen my clients and don't take just anybody.

PS. Chivo, thanks for standing up and saying something! It's good for FP to see that smart people who know a thing or two don't buy into his agenda.

[GQBlues]

Dunno...my first time in Moscow I stayed at the Raddison hotel and liked it well enough. I paid the same money I normally pay for hotels of the same caliber anywhere. Minor few plus and minuses but never the less, money well spent as far as I'm concerned. Like most places I've gone to and visited, I didn't depart just so I can save money. That's a silly concept.

As far as dating services....how does IMBRA play into this?

[GoodOlBoy]

Some of the guys I have worked with are cops, ex-marines, doctors, lawyers, bodybuilders, powerful, successful, very handsome men who can and do get plenty of women where they live.naive.

sorry GOB, No direspect was intended. I have great respect for our military and my friend's son (who is like my own son to me) is a marine on active duty right now. I was simply trying to say that my client was not on active duty and it's been prolly at least 17 years or so since he was at the time when I was helping him find his wife.

Ed,
Being a bit of a drama queen are we?
Posting opinions that are not aligned with yours does not constitute an attack.  And by the way, MODS ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE OPINIONS.  Nothing wrong or conflicting in that at all.

Most everyone thinks "their way" is best and with your financial gain being in the balance, you have more motivation than most to promote "your way."  For the record, I can see some clear advantages to having a "wing man" of your talents.  Not my personal cup of tea as I never felt the need for a wing man but understand that some men do.

The part of your service that would turn me off personally is the way you seem to interject your opinions of the women in question.  Maybe you are a great judge of character and maybe you're not.  The one thing I do know is that there is no man that is a better judge of what I like than me.

What site would you reccomend now?

I would start here ......

Clean your specs Vincent. I said "tours", not "Jack's tours".
 

Specs cleaned Manny but the result is the same. You wrote ‘tour’ in the singular and as you did so immediately after someone recommended Jack then I did the math.   

Please don't attempt to twist my words; I choose them with care. 

No worries, I wont …. you don’t need my help. 

But, as you mention it, I *personally* wouldn't go on a Jack tour either.
