Thanks for the information.

Does anyone has any experience with following sites and would you recommend any of them?

loveme.com
absoluteagency.com
friendfinder.com

Thanks

[myrddin]

I don't have experience with friendfinder in the FSU or eastern Europe, by itself it seems okay in the US.   I actually was seeking new friends after moving 1,400 miles; I never used it for dating.

But consider the cross-promotional audience, as it's affiliated with (how do I say this politely?) explicit adult dating sites (passion.com/adultfriendfinder.com)

[William3rd]

loveme.com aka beautifulbrides aka A Foreign Affair aka god knows how many other aliases.

Originally the owners of AFA were major partners in K4I-a porno outfit. Probably still are but they are trying to hide the links. They even shared offices with K4I until about 2000.  Spectacular failure rates in their tour relationships. Probable success rates are around 15% or lower but you wouldnt know it from their questionable advertising. Used to run 10 trips a year to St Petersburg, now down to 2-3 tours a year to that beautiful city-so much for their success.

I am still in contact with several former employees and managers and I was affiliated with them for about 8 years. Morally and ethically bankrupt.

You are better served by using Elena's Models, First Dream or other sites listed here than wasting your time and money on this organization

Anyone else has any experience with Elena's models?

Elena's models

absolute agency is a big scam.

friendfinder, lots of people deceive others there.

Elena's models. Most people say good. I've heard a few say they don't like them.

No perfect agency/dating site but it's good you're looking for one that gives you the best chance for success. Some guys pick a site based on the pretty photos there. Too bad they'll never meet any of those women in the photos if they do business with a bad agency.

I found my fiancee on bride.ru

[Misha]

If you know some Russian or find a Russian-speaker to help you, you can also look to the free Russian dating sites. I found my wife using the site singles.ru.

I met my wife through Elena's.   I also met a number of good women through the site and had a good response rate to my letters.   I had the platinum membership which gave you access to as many addresses as you want.   The other site I used in my search was freepersonals.ru.   The response rate was not as good but it is free so there is little to lose except time and wasted trips which can happen with any site.

Personally I have heard so many horror stories from sites that charge by the letter that I would avoid them like the plague.   There is too much temptation for them to fake letters to up their take.   I did waste $ 100.00 on tokens at Global Ladies long ago and that experience was enough.   We have many saying here and one is that if it seems too good to be true it probably is.   With the pay per letter sites you will hear from lots of gals that seem too good to be true and it is usually because they are not true (real)

For men, EM seems to be a really good choice, as many serious women are listed there. Also, EM urges women to post professionally made photos only, therefore most women look really good there, probably better than in reality 
EM does not call new women for an identity check, however, despite they say they do.

Elena's Models #1
Anastasia International is the worst. The Women look Flawless because their photos have been Touched Up. Compare a Video of a Woman to her Profile on this Site and you'll see what I mean!
If I compare the photos of my Lana from Elena's and those exact same photos that she Posted on Anastasia Website, you would say it isn't the same Woman.
Still beautiful, just not the same Girl!!
While on Anastasia's she continually received Response letters from Men she had never even contacted!

Elena's Models #1

Well, after a 2 year hiatus from RW (both searching, and RWD) - And foolishly giving it another go with AW (you'd think I'd learn by now!?)  I'm now back in the FSU saddle -

I was going to do some sort of twisted grand (re)entrance here... but honestly, "starting over" has me feeling a bit humbled - and I'll even confess, I'm a tad bit confused too - Hence me sneaking in a post here and in the n00bie section - b/c for all practical purposes, what I learned 3-6 years ago... simply does not apply today (or 90% of it doesn't - so it seems)... and am indeed, a newbie (again)...

Either way, it's obvious things in the FSU (esp, Belarus/Ukraine) have changed allot in regards to agencies - and the "women" involved...

Not even sure where to begin? - so - let's start with the age old question posed in this thread - "Online sites/Agencies" - Ya know, I've asked this question 100 times over the years - and it always gets mixed answers and reviews - Conclusion? There is no ONE agency that fits the bill or that is perfect - The only common theme (read as "truth") I've gleened - is stay away from AnastasiasWeb - and avoid token sites - Which I've done since Day 1 -Other than that - There are a handful of good ones... but just watch your wallet - closely.

That said, after reading all the mostly positive reviews on RWD about E/M's, I finally bit the bullet, and signed with Elena's Models... I jumped on their "Easter Special" ($89) - and while I'm only a few days into it all... (FWIW, I had been "signed up" for years) - but now, as a paying Gold Member - I could do a little more digging - and actually start kicking the tires some... and wow... what an eye-opening experience it's been thus far...

And don't get me wrong, what I'm about to express frustration over, is NOT E/M's fault... but really, just more proof that this "industry" and the women who play in it - has changed ohhhhh so much!

Point being - I eagerly scrolled through my list of "matches" - and started firing off "expression of interest" (EOI's) to several ladies I'd "met" before I became a full member, as well as some new hotties that were jumping off the page at me    Well, 2-5-7 days later - "You've got mail!" - Great! Let's lock and load - and get ready to roll! Buzzzzzzzzzzzz! Wrong! - I open my E/M inbox just to find - reject - reject - reject - after reject! Wow!?! Now, before you say, "We'll, you're a few years older now, etc. etc. etc." - I originally set my profile up in 2005 - and have just let it sit the past 2-3 years... So it has same pix and intro etc - But "back then" my inbox was swamped - and got a ton of EOI's letters... And now? LOL!!  I think there's ONE gal that is even of remote interest to me........ and even then.... I'm starting to wonder if I've made the right/wrong choice here....  :noidea:

[Deep Breath] - Look, I know it's only been several days - and I know this is a lifelong process (and I'm trying hard to remind myself of this) and to be patient as well!!! But it's clear that the inbox of bogus letters I receive daily from 4RussianWomen.com and AWeb and select few others - are simply pure BS - Just to get my coin - (I think we all already knew this) - but that sting of confirmation/affirmation - well - it kinda bites!! LOL! 

Lastly - and nothing personal against agencies/agency owners - but really - Over the past few months, I've jumped on some pure Russian dating sites (non-English) (LuckyLovers/AnutaLove.ru/and a new one, TAU2) - and the people that choose to interact with me, are tyically 35 and above - with kiddos - AND are *not* "Elena's Models" (by ANY stretch of the imagination!!) LMAO! - All those "22 year old hotties" that were buzzing my inbox 3-4 years ago? Well, they're all mysteriously MIA now...? Hmmmm! Or the handful of 24-28 year olds that do reply - seem to have a strong interest in shopping in Milan, and traveling to Tahiti! - Plus all their pix are of far off exotic vacation villas! (and bedrooms!) LOL!  So, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to sort that one out -

Point being (was there a point??)  I was just going to do what I call a "wing-it" trip to Ukraine in May - Fly into Kiev or Odessa, and then hop over to Kherson and Nik - but realized I needed (or would probably be better) if I started some up front communications before arriving in a few months.... Well, that lead me down the "agency" path again - And tried (or am trying) to plug in with some local agencies to "assist" - Most have been receptive - Others (like in Moldova??) were promising me the moon - when I was planning to be in BFE UA - so - not sure how they planned to hand-hold me there?? - Either way - I came back to THE source here at RWD - and perused the boards seeking any new info.... General concensus was Elena's - or a mass mail campaign with one of the biggies - or a one on one trip with JB etc - I think just from the standpoint of "ease" - I wimped out, and took the easy route (for now) and signed with Elena's - Just to discover they really don't service any other city in Ukraine other than Kiev.... Not that I have anything against Kiev - but as just mentioned - was really hoping to spend more time south and east and maybe even trek into DNK, Zap and Crimea... (actually, the only 2 I have that have responded thus far - are from Crimea) - So, not really sure how that would work? - and/or - if any of you are currently with E/M's - maybe you can offer some insite as to how I could make that work??

Anyway - Frustration, combined with my quest for knowledge - coupled with my need to VENT! :burnedup: has lead me back here... I know there are a handful that are probably not so thrilled to see me back online ... and that's cool... can't please everyone... But do hope some of the few friendships formed here over the years can be rekindled - as I take the 1000 foot dive from the UA cliff here soon!

Other than that - Have a nice day!! :-)

Cheers to everyone -

Back in the saddle- Yeehaw!

Hey KB!

I, for one, am glad to see you back - though sorry your circumstances were a little 'rocky' getting you here.

- Dan

[AnastassiaAsh]

Hi Killer-B, I don't think I know you but it seems I might have seen your avatar on another board.  Any way, it is great you are not quitting on your dream. We all know it takes time and it can be very hard just to be patient especially after one or several times of it not working out. It is very emotionally draining and I think only true faith can get you through.  Hang on there and welcome back.

It seems you are more like a Flower-B, not a Killer-B.  Oh, I got it now, you meant Killer-bee, didn't you?   

[catzenmouse]

Dude!

 We figured you just didn't love us anymore! 

 Nice to see you around again. You'll have to tell us all about your adventures to that "scary" place (AW).

 Welcome Back!
 
Ken

[Killer-B]

Thanks Dan, Ken - Good to be back (so far!  )

Nice to meet you Ash - err, Anastisia - err - What do I call you? :-)

Ken - No, I didn't do the deed at AW - Been there, done that (years ago) - was just kinda venting over E/M's and the lack of response/support - and how it seems things have really changed since the economy(s) have picked up in UA etc - So, we'll see -

Of course, Murphy's Law is in effect - the minute I hit "Post" - I got a sweet letter from Belarus - so - yes - Faith, strength, patience... all those fine qualities - need to be maintained!

Like the new front end Dan - Site looks good!

I'm sure we'll be yakking more as things progress (or nose-dive!!) LMAO!

Night all -

B

And yeah, I still luv you all :-)

KB, sorry to read about your experience at EM. You know, people on the sites are really unpredictable. You say in 2005 you got many EOIs but now you get lots of rejections? Well, that may happen. No one can really say what do you do wrong. EM's women come and go, next year you may have a better harvest than now.

Here is my own records at EM:

Since 03.02.2008 and to date, I have received 13 EOI's and answered 13 of them.

Since 02.02.2008 and to date, I have sent 35 letters to the men who caught my interest. Btw women can initiate contact by letter only, we cannot send EOI.

Of them:
10 men did not open my letters at all.
4 men did not read my letter of interest at all, and deleted them right now. No chance.
5 men sent me a polite no.
A few read and deleted my letters.
With a few others I exchanged some emails.

Does it prove that I am of low quality? Not at all.
What does it prove is that the dating market is unpredictable, and depends largely on the blatant luck. 
 

[Gator]

Killer-B,

Your experience with EM echoes mine to some extent as I discussed here.

http://www.russianwomendiscussion.com/index.php?topic=7252.0

In 2007 I did find three quality RW at EM who were interested in me, and I scheduled dates to meet them (in 3 different cities 1000 miles apart).  Prior to meeting them, however, I met my old flame for spaghetti and I never left. 

My assessment is that while EM response is down, it is still far better than American dating sites. 

I went to Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkiv in 2006 and in 8 days found too many interested women. Two of whom I would have been delighted to meet again and again to explore marriage, with a couple of other women remaining as possibilities.  These two locales impressed me.

[Misha]

Well, after a 2 year hiatus from RW (both searching, and RWD) - And foolishly giving it another go with AW (you'd think I'd learn by now!?)  I'm now back in the FSU saddle -
Lastly - and nothing personal against agencies/agency owners - but really - Over the past few months, I've jumped on some pure Russian dating sites (non-English) (LuckyLovers/AnutaLove.ru/and a new one, TAU2) - and the people that choose to interact with me, are tyically 35 and above - with kiddos - AND are *not* "Elena's Models" (by ANY stretch of the imagination!!)

(and bedrooms!) LOL!  So, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to sort that one out -

Anutalove.ru is good as it is part of the mamba network of dating sites: the network uses the same database of 9+ million profiles of men and women. I found my wife on one of the sites of the network (singles.ru) but I don't share your opinion in that the women were not as attractive as the ones on EM. Quite often many of the women on EM are on the free Russian sites and the free sites are open to everybody so anybody can join. In my opinion, the best women on the free Russian sites are as good or better than the women listed with EM.

However, the free Russian sites are a numbers game pure and simple. I probably sent out over a thousand messages over a course of a year. Every time when I was online I would look at the new profiles send out a few dozen messages. I then corresponded with dozens of women and finally met a dozen or so. Most of the 1000+ women that I sent messages to on the dating site never replied, but given that there were few million more women on the site, I did not care. It is like most fishing expeditions: you can't expect to get a trophy fish each and every time you cast your line. It is the same thing with the free dating sites: it requires a lot of time and effort to find women that you like and that in return like you. Unless a guy is willing to send out message after message, it is likely not going to lead to success.

[CCowboy]

I'm also who who started out last year after an absense.  The best online dating site I've found is http://www.flirt.com.ua/  The main drawback is that it's all in Russian.  I had help setting up my profile and learned how to navigate the website.  Although it is a mixture of women with differing reasons for being on Flirt, there are a lot of married minded women on the site.  Depending on where you're planning to visit, the numbers of profiles will vary greatly.  From ages 37-45, there are almost 1200 profiles in The Crimea.  I'll be in Sevastopol for a month beginning mid April.  I've managed to establish about 8 significant writing relationships from the 1200.  It's very time consuming and takes a lot of work, but I still believe that learning about each other before meeting is better than going to an agency and winging it.

Dear Lily,
Reading your records from EM, I was deeply surprised. Certainly, the results do NOT witness that you are of low quality. It could be ridiculous even supposing that they do. You are wonderful and adorable woman!

I have only one explanation of the records you have got. Probably, there is something wrong in your profile. ..maybe you have chose not appropriate  photos?

I have suggestion. I think you need to open a new thread and to download there 20 of your photos and ask members here to choose 5 photos where you look especially attractive by their opinions. The photo of yours which collects most of votes should be your main photo in your profile. Next 4 should be additional ones.

Plus, you could post the description of yourself from your profile in the thread and ask members here to express what they think about it.

I wish you all the best in your search for the right one and would like with respect remind you that the most effective way to change the respond you receive from other people is to change yourself (In this particular case to change your profile)

[Serebro]

EM does not call new women for an identity check, however, despite they say they do.

They called to me:)
They did that twice.
One day they wrote that they had called to me and noone had answered so they couldn't approve my profile.
Then they called and asked me for the name , address and how old I was and asked me to describe the photos I put in my profile.

BTW, they called on Saturday at 8 am and I was asleep, so when they asked me how old I was so surprised that I couldn't remember how old I was...

Hi Lily -Good to see you again - Yes, I hear you.... I suppose the "market" has many changes... But also think the improving economies has much to do with it too... But we'll see how things go - I still have 5+ months of time :-)

FYI - I "registered" on E/M's back in 2005 - and was reluctant to "join" (pay) - so - maybe I was one of those 35 you emailed - but we (men) simply could not open them without paying for a huge membership... So, I suspect that is why you got what you got - For of course, you are of outstanding quality! :-)

The other thing I think is "interesting" about E/M's - is while I only have just a few contacts made thus far - While I am working on my Russian language skills - Many of these ladies only know basic English - and so - when I ask to translate - it's another $35 per letter... This is insame pricing - So, I now have to sort that out too - Maybe use Anastassias services (from Page 1) -

Either way - it should be an interesting journey!
