I'm eager for your opinions
« on: September 30, 2007, 06:08:45 PM »
Has anyone here had any success on anastasiaweb?  I know because of the nature of the site it is expensive, contains a bunch of scammers, etc, but I am chatting with a girl I like through there, who is from juliyaweb (her agency... found it idenpendently and she confirmed when i asked what her agency was).  They seem legit on the surface, but a few emails to them (the site admin) haven't been responded to.  That being said, the girl I'm emailing has given me no indication that she isn't real (and with real intentions) and we've exchanged postal addresses.  Her full name has no google results :).  how do I best protect myself from bad things happening?  background check?  don't get attached untill I go to FSU?  how paranoid SHOULD I be?

Secondly, my last relationship ended because of a lack of... lets say, passion.  Are FSU women generally (i know everyone is unique, but generalizations is all I'm asking for :) more passionate/less likely to use sex as a tool to manipulate?  An odd question I know, but an important issue to me and one I find particularly annoying in AW.

There are some real girls in AnastasiaWeb.  Just too many that are not and too many affiliate agencies that are operating more in the interests of their own profits than the best interests of their customers or the women.    Your gal may be real.  Don't send any money before you meet.  Have a backup plan when you go.  Maybe if you are going to contact more ladies try someplace more ethical.  Don't be paranoid, be careful and expand your options.

Wow, I don't know how to answer the other part.  Women are individuals and not made from a cookie cutter.   I think RW are a little less likely to use sex as a weapon than AW.  Are they more passionate.  I don't have enough experience with that one to answer.  I would say about the same.  It sounds like your wife was a lot less passionate than most AW so anything has to be an improvement.

Can you get her phone number(s)?  Or suggest her to share a live webcam chat session from an Internet Café?

Her full name has no google results
Not many agency sites offer FSUW family names as viewable profile information. Try with some significant text snippets from her letters (or her address), scammers use standard, pre-written texts in their correspondence.

After being on forums three years, I heard of one guy having success out of many who tried to do business with Aweb.

If the woman is interested in you, she''l give you her phone number if you ask.

RW are much less likely to use sex as a weapon than AW. RW tend to take care of their men as long as they respect them. Many men here are satisfied and one member said his wife never lets him leave the house hungry.

I would say that some guys have success on Anastasiaweb and some don't. It all depends on a guy.
I know  that there are a lot of real women on anastasiaweb. How do I know? I used to be one of them:) I got a lot of letters there and anastasiaweb would constantly call me and check if I am really corresponding with all the men. Plus anastasiaweb would ask me specific questions about my correspondence, even some details from the letters that men sent me and I sent to the men.

 So I can tell you for sure that people from anastasiaweb check if the girls are real or not. Of course there are some scammers too and you have to be cautious. The main difference between scammer and a real woman is that the real woman will never ask for money (I am sure that you have heard it already).

To protect yourself from bad things happening is easy: don't send her any money, try order a phone conversation through anastasiaweb after some letters to the girl, and as soon as you think that may be you have found the one - don't wait to long and go to visit her there (but let her know that you are coming beforehand, because if she will tell you that she is not able to meet with you for some reason, or will just dissapear from the website it means that she is a scam).

Secondly, about passion part :D I cannot really say that FSU women are more pasionate and are less likely to use sex as a tool to manipulate. I think that it all depends on a woman. There are a lot of manipulatiing women in FSU just as in the States. Also I think that passion depends on a couple's relationship. The same woman may be a "cold fish" in one relationship and a passionate lover in the other. And as a woman, I would say that a lot depends on a man too:)

Hi Anna, Welcome to the forum. Are you an agency owner? One agency owner came here and said he supplied profiles of some of his ladies to AWeb. It brought him good income and he asked if he could supply some more profiles. AWeb told him "No", because his ladies don't write enough. It is that attitude, by Aweb, that encourages many agencies to fake letters on the ladies behalf. The potential for profits also encourage agancies to write letters on a lady's behalf too. You say you listed yourself on Aweb. Did you have a lot of crazy men writing you through that agency? Did you meet a lot of men and how did they behave towards you? Have you found your special man yet or are you still looking?

Hi BillyB, I have no idea how I ended up with Agency Owner under my name.  I guess I must have pushed a wrong button or something.  But no, I do not own an agency.

Actually, I was listed on Aweb through a local agency in Nikolaev when I was there.  But Aweb had my cell phone number and would constantly call to check up on my info and if I was real and it was actually me answering the letters.  Truthfully, I believe the agency would answer some of the letters at times, because I would get a phone call and sometimes I didn't know who the person was based on what they were saying they wrote to me in the past.  But, I was or I am real.  :)  So we are out there!

A lot of letters... I couldn't believe it.  I was very flattered.  Crazy men writing?  Well there were some men who had one thing on their minds.  Those were a bit crazy.  I did have some men come to Nikolaev to meet me.  Most were very nice.  A lot of those men to be honest had looks and manner mistakes, that had they known how to actually act around a FSU woman they would have done so much better in gaining my attention.  Or any other woman's for that matter.  It was hard because they would be nice, but as in any situation, you know very quickly if that person was right for you.  Plus I was looking for my soulmate and yes he did finally show up.  Now I am married to him and live in Los Angeles, CA.   :)

It matters little to me wether Aweb writes one phoney letter or a thousand. It is dishonest & manipulative & as long as guys like you continue to pour money into their coffers they will continue their unsavory practises & manipulations.
The only ones they hurt are the men & women in the search & bring a bad reputation to all agencies including the honest ones. I fail to understand why men & women, knowing full well, as their escapades as well as many other big agencies, are well documented as being dishonest, continue to use them & make them rich.
Would you pay your local thief to steal more? Same concept.
I find it totally rediculous that you would even be stupid enough to waste your time with such companies when there are several well known honest agencies where you know you are getting the real goods.
I continue to shake my head at the stupidity that continues to evolve around me :noidea:

I realize that I am new here, but I can only tell you from my own experience and I know that I am a real person and I was listed on there.  It doesn't matter to me if someone uses your agency (which I'm guessing is one of the honest ones), or Aweb or whatever.  What matters is that they are able to meet the person of their dreams.  If they have knowledge of potential scammers or dishonesty and are aware of what they should be looking for with regards to those warning signs... Then I think you can find your love anywhere and not limit your search to just certain agencies.

I'm not sure what to say after your whole stupidity comment.  But if this is the type of advice or postings myself or anyone else gets to look forward to... then I guess I know what to shake my head at.  I appreciate any good advice, but why listen to anyone after they call someone stupid.  Is that how honest agency owners act towards a potential client?  Or is that just you?

I agree, but before I heard of much of the stuff about anastasiaweb I had already started emailing a girl.  I am emailing no new women on there as I wish to be off the site, but I can't justify telling the girl "we can't talk... I don't like the agency your agency works with", unless I've set up alternate means of contact which I'm working on now.

No need to call me stupid and carry on like that.

Hello Anna :) I have some questions for you if you don't mind.

How long were you looking?  How many guys were you corresponding with at once?  I don't have any problems talking to or attracting women here, so I don't expect to have great difficulty attracting women over there.... are there particular 'manner mistakes' that you experienced that I should be aware of that perhaps are due to the cultural differences?  How SHOULD I act around FSU women? Thanks!

Anna, Richards comments were directed towards A-web not to you.  We have heard enough bad stories from the men's side of things to know for sure that there are problems in how A-web works.   I find it interesting to see the perspective of someone on the other side (woman's side) about things and hope you share more of your experiences. 

Justanother, you asked some interesting questions.  Hopefully she can share some of her experiences.   I think we would all find it interesting.

Correct so no need to be offended. Had I meant my comment directed at you I would have used your name & you would have no doubt. I am not known for pulling punches or beating around the bush. I tell it like it is & if that offends someone they have two choices, grow a thicker skin OR play in somebody else's sandbox where they will receive all the pats on the back they need to justify their existence.

It doesn't matter to me if someone uses your agency (which I'm guessing is one of the honest ones), or Aweb or whatever.
So basically you are agreeing that lying, fraud & thievery are acceptable practises , which you are quite willing to condone & in fact support. Mmmmm, at least I know where you stand on the honesty issue.
Quote
Is that how honest agency owners act towards a potential client?
Nope only towards idiots...and no I am not saying you or justanotherguy are...just making an honest evaluation.

Me probably more so than any as I have two Aweb affiliates in the same city as me & it is me the guys usually turn to when the deification hits the rotary oscillator & it is me they ask to clean up the mess when in fact had they not used a known dishonest agency in the first place they would not be crying on my shoulder in my office & wasting my time with something I have not the power to fix.
I have lost track of the number of men who have been devastated by this company & other big bad agencies, but you know what I really get really sick when I see someone who actually says its not a problem for her. In other words go ahead steal the guys money, break his heart & its not a problem. Well it may not be for you but it sure as hell is to me. Your legitimizing their actions only make me wonder how honest you would be to do business with, in fact I need not wonder as you have shown here.
Your either honest or your not, there is no grey area. Honesty should be rewarded, dishonesty should be punished with extreme prejudice.
As for justanotherguy, have you met this woman, have you seen her on webcam? What makes you think she's legit. I had a guy in my office just last week that talked with the woman on the phone & web cam & it turned out it was all a ruse , which he didn't uncover until he came here to meet her. You have nothing to base you connection on, nothing, so why is it so hard to walk away? You might break Fat Yuri's heart?
Yes, there have been successes with Aweb & other bad agencies but for every success there are 50 disasters. Its a numbers game. Just have enough good stories floating around to shed a little suspicion on the bad stories. Works great as has been proven time & again. Are you willing to take the chance that you may be the one out of 50 that gets lucky. Myself I ain't much of a gambler so I'd move on to an honest agency where I know my chances are 100%, but to each there own.
Have a great day! :)

So your advice is then to bail regardless of whether or not she may or maynot be legit?  Of course I don't know her or her intentions.  Of course I wouldn't cry if I found out tomorrow she was a scammer.  I'm not getting scammed if I'm not sending money, and the credits I purchased are already purchased.  I don't plan on buying more credits if it makes you feel better, or feel better about me :)  It is not as though if I went with your agency the first girl I chat with will be my soulmate and marry me.  The chances of a given girl working out are pretty slim as it stands so I don't see the big deal with me riding things out to see where this one goes.  I do not think it is my favor to halt communication with a girl who might possibly be ideal for me (and yes thats unlikely both for the possiblity she is not as she advertises, or simply because its rare for people to match perfectly) without investigating it further.  As for being offended, you did direct the stupid comment at me as you used 'you'.  Perhaps
you should consider reading "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.  It may help you communicate more effectively from a business standpoint.  As a potential client, that was not the ideal way of promoting your service.  If you want to insult people you should atleast create a "personal" account seperate from your "business" account which clearly shows your affiliation, but then thats just my opinion.

I don't know if that's Richard's advice but I would agree, after you make one last attempt to get contact around Aweb.

Justanotherguy, you should not fall in love with a woman through e-mails and phone calls and thus, you should not have that much emotional attachtment to them. RW don't fall in love through the internet and it turns them off if they know you are capable of doing it. Like Anna mention, many women quickly determine, through a face to face meeting, if you're somebody they're interested in. You could be a nice guy but you may have "looks and manners mistakes".

The problem with telling guys to keep using AWeb to catch their woman is like telling guys to walk through a mine field to get to their destination. Some people have survived but there are certainly less riskier roads to take. I recommend taking the road less riskier and that has a higher chance of success. There are no doubt there are real women at Aweb like Anna but there are also people there that are looking to take advantage of people trying to find love and your wallet. Play at your own risk.

I agree that one shouldn't fall in love with pictures, or through email or anything other than in person over considerable amount of time.  I am not, nor have I ever alluded to me being in love with anyone lol.  I am going to try to avoid aweb as I said before.  I just think it is a stupid reason to bail simply because I can't prove she's real.  I have no reason to believe she isn't.  I risk nothing by continuing for the balance of the credits I already purchased.  I risk losing something by stopping communication now.  I'll ask for her phone number, I already have her postal address.  I think it would be rude to say "we can't talk anymore cause you might be fake" or anything like that.  There is no guarantee that any girl, real or no, has my best interests in mind anyway.
To be completely clear, I am not in love nor am I capable of falling in love with a picture/profile/string of emails/etc.  I have been in love in the past and I am not a moron.  I'm well aware of how relationships work.  I too can determine if I am interested in someone within the first converstation.  It is not some magical gift women have to determine this... anyone who can't doesn't know themselves or know what they really want in a partner.
Anyway, I appreciate your opinion and I just wanted to clarify that it is not as though I am attached in any way to any profile.

Hello Anna :) I have some questions for you if you don't mind.  How long were you looking?


I met my husband after 7 months on the websites.  Then, I took myself off the websites and we were exclusive for to each other, with him visiting me a number of times in my city over another the next 6 months.  Then we started the K-1 process, which took about 3 months and then I was in Los Angeles.  So not quite a year and a half.

How many guys were you corresponding with at once?

I was corresponding with a lot of men.  The fact is, that until a man actually comes to visit you cannot take him seriously.  Yes you can share letters, but you will learn more in one hour of actual time together than two months of writing letters.

Are there particular 'manner mistakes' that you experienced that I should be aware of that perhaps are due to the cultural differences?  How SHOULD I act around FSU women? Thanks!

I will tell you one.  This isn't really a cultural mistake, just a mistake that a lot of men made.  If you are visiting with a woman in a cafe, or walking with her.  DO NOT check out other women.  I know that sounds pretty obvious, but you would be surprised how many guys fall into that trap.  Also, don't tell us you are so amazed by how many pretty women there are in our country or city.  We don't want to hear about other women.  It would be nice to have any man visiting to compliment you, not every woman he sees.  I know this sounds like common sense, but I would say it was a mistake that 80 percent of the men made.

I did good when it came to not looking at other women. My fiancee and I was at a cafe in Uzbekistan. A belly dancer came up to our table and started to perform. I looked straight ahead and slowly chewed on my food while she danced to my side. Out of the corner of my eye I knew she was very close to me. If I had turned my head towards her direction, my nose would have been inches/centimeters away from her breasts or ass, of course depending on which way she was bent over while dancing. After the belly dancer moved on to another table. My fiancee said something to her brother and friend in Russian about me. I said "Huh? What are you talking about? What happened?" to that effect. She looked at me and just gave me a kiss.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

As for being offended, you did direct the stupid comment at me as you used 'you'.
I went back & reread it & you are correct. I do apologize as that is not what was what I wanted to print. I was in a hurry & screwd up. I am sorry for that & do apologize.
I will also say that as you already have the credits with Aweb, by all means you should continue & try to find some way to get around them. They certainly will not return your money so no harm done & if it does work out, you will be all the better for it. Just be aware of the traps & pitfalls that can & will be placed before you & you will be fine.
You appear to be intelligent & thoughtfull & that is a good thing. Follow your head, not your heart or your little head, at least for now, plenty of time later to bring in the big guns.

For some reason that reminded me of the cow bell skit with Will Ferrell on SNL where he's banging the bell right in the other guys face who is desperately trying to ignore it (until he snapped) lol

Thank you for the apology!
Your Welcome. I'm not one to shy away from admitting my mistakes....
I will however take this time to explain to you why I get so upset at Aweb & their affiliates as we just had another incident this very day that I was just told about 20 minutes ago when I arrived at the office. Maybe it will give you & others some insight into the kind of people you are dealing with. This is the third time it has happened & I am quite fed up with it & if it takes me forever I will do everything in my power to destroy this company, that you can count on.
This very afternoon another of our ladies came in to tell us she must quit our agency (She is also listed at BeHappy an Aweb Affiliate). When we questioned why she told us that Yaroslav at BeHappy has threatened her & that if she does not quit our agency he will make her life a living hell. So instead of standing up to him, she has chosen to leave our agency & I have removed her from our Website, unlike him who keeps them on as long as the money flows for his phony letter writing scheme!!!
This is the kind of tactics I am up against dealing with affiliates of Aweb, threats to the ladies, cohersion & other unsavory practises. He figures he owns the women that join his agency & doesn't hesitate to threaten them should they choose to list at another agency, especially ours.
This is the third time & better be the last...you reading me loud & clear Yaroslav? I know you read this board so I hope you read this. I'm tired of your chicken sh!t Bullsh!t. We must be a real threat to you that you have to threaten women, real brave man, try threatening me & see where it gets you. Anybody who uses your business should be told exactly what kind of slimeball their dealing with. Maybe John would like to shed some light on that subject, right Yaroslav?
Never again, you reading me, never. Take this as gospel, from this day forward I am making it my personal mission to see you put out of business!!! Whatever it takes, wherever I have to go, whoever I have to talk to, you are done!!! And that ain't no threat, that is a promise!! :exploding: :exploding: :exploding:
My apologies to the boardmembers but I have had enough of this clown & his buddies at Aweb!!
What kind of man threatens the women who are only trying to find a soul mate? Not much of a man in my book.

AnnaFAB,

Thanks for posting..........can you please share with everyone
a list of mistakes that you think Western men make when visiting FSUW?
The one about looking at other women is an obvious one in ANY culure (as
you pointed out). How about some more. One thing I would note is how poorly
some men seem to dress and groom.....

Also, thanks for posting the reality that an FSUW cannot take a WM
serious until he goes to meet her. Men who think things are "serious" just
because they have exchanged some or even a lot of letters should take
note of this common sense reality.

Thanks in advance for adding to your list of common mistakes. AND to all
you FSUW out there PLEASE feel free to ALSO add to the list!!

I perfectly understand and agree that such behaviour should be eliminated.  That is absolutely horrible.  Why would she tolerate that?  Once I cut aweb out of the loop and deal directly with the girl I am emailing or atleast directly with her local agency I will be done with aweb. :)
