I sincerely think a search "option" to only search for women that have private email accounts would be desirable... this way we could talk directly to the lady without any agency...anyone else feel the same way?
There are sites where there are no translators, or agency mediator boris's decieving you, writing false letters. Where you simply gain access to private individuals who speak some English and will communicate with you directly via their P.C. or their internet cafe.
Why anyone even uses an agency is beyond me. It is only narrowing down your chances of finding someone genuine, and allowing others to bleed your money, in my humble opinion of course.
the free sites such as mamba and free-dating does give you access to girls directly but still many are scammers, they just don't share it with an agency. I did notice girls on such sites are not very quick on replies or are very picky and are more age werry.
Tringa... I share your opinion, it took some time for me to get by the photoshop pictures and smoothe answers. I now correspond with real women (3) and I can tell you there is a world of difference in what we discuss. Sure there are scammers but they are not agency driven. I believe you have a better chance of finding someone sincere outside the agencies.
