"COST EFFECTIVE" Agency or Site???

[Faux Pas]

As for cost effective, much is going to depend on what the individual is capable or not of doing for himself as Misha points to. He had Russian language skills which would make a significant difference in further incurred costs for women with zero English skills. Of course this would also come in handy on the agency set up as well.

Cost effective can come in many forms in this endeavor and many places it isn't an issue. Conversely, if you are counting your pennies, you really should just walk away now. The expenses get much greater after the agency/freesite bit and debate is long behind you.

Just one more thought.

Now that I have had the chance to actually meet, date and talk with some women here, the notion of limiting your expenses by choosing a "cheaper" agency is completely ridiculous. The women here are not and I repeat NOT looking to date or marry men who are having difficulty affording the insignificant costs associated with an agency. Odessa, Kiev, Kharkov, Moscow whatever, are not cities on the moon. The women here know exactly what is out there and they not only they see it here every day, but it is thrust in their face to such an extent that how could anyone expect them to settle for much less.

I have seen more brand new custom 500 series Mercedes, drop head Bentley coupes, Porsche 911's, Lexus SUV's and other outrageous custom cars here then I saw on my last trip to Beverly Hills.
The shoes and boots women wear here cost in excess of $500 per pair and a skirt at the designer clothing stores here will set you back a grand in a heart beat. There are no bread lines in Russia any more and as a matter of fact, the only line I had to wait in lately was the one where everyone was exchanging $100.00 bills for the local currency.

I've studied the women here as they interact with with each other and there is a definite pecking order. The more beautiful the woman, the higher she is on the scale. When a beautiful RW speaks to a less beautiful RW, the less beautiful RW appears to be in total submission. It's very strange, but I have witnessed it on many occasions. Beauty is power and they know it.

Wake up guys, this ain't Kansas anymore and these chicks certainly ain't Dorothy dreaming of returning to her little farm house in rural America.

I'm not saying that they are all gold diggers, because they are not, at least no more so any American woman of equal beauty would be. They do want security and they are expecting to be treated to the finer things in life to a certain extent. Who wouldn't be? They can dig potatoes here, they do not need to come to America to to that.

If you really want to save some money, my best advice is to select an ordinary looking woman with children. This may sound cruel or inappropriate, but it's true. Champagne tastes on a beer budget won't make it, especially when they are used to drinking Cristal.

Not disagreeing, but have to ask. Why are they looking for foreign men? You would be a fool to leave the type of life you are describing. Unless its all smoke and mirrors?

You all do realize we are answering a question that was asked 4 1/2 years ago.  I am sure the OP either is married now or has given up.   Still it is a relative topic.

No matter, when someone feels a need to breathe some new life into an old thread it is often for a reason. Often too there is more information to go on. Sometimes not. Threads tend to live their usefulness IMO

Before I posted today noticed the OP was here on May 10, 2010 and had updated his status to looking 3 to 5 years.

which is not that unusual for these boards. You pay one way or another, whether with money or time or in some cases both.
Many times just as you think you are going to save money, you wind up spending 4 times the amount. But that's life. We live and sometimes learn

I've had a little experience with Lucky Lovers and I think they're a decent, cost effective approach also.

Finding a woman to love in Ukraine isn't that difficult if you know what you are doing.  The sad fact is that finding an honest agency is impossible.  Agencies themselves will tell you that they can't control everything a woman does.  Marriage agencies are completely different from the agencies opened twenty years ago.  Stay in a any city for a couple of weeks and meet real people.  When your new friends get to know you, they will be happy to introduce you to a friend or two completely free.  If someone does ask you for money, they aren't real.  All major web sites depend on these so called marriage agencies.  Real men don't need any help from any marriage agency or web site to find a real woman.
