I just stumbled on to this site and have been reading alot of the subjects on the forum section. I must admit alot of the things I have read are very dicourging. I noticed alot of people have been scamed for money and I have taken a negative attitude about even attempting to contact some of these women. Can anyone tell me if they actually had positive results in writing some of these women? I've seen some of the profiles and have been tempted to try to correspond with a few ladies but now I am not sure. Some of these women seem too good to be true. Maybe I have just been too jaded by past relationships with American women. I am 38 years old and have been seriously considering looking for the elusive "soul partner" thing. What are these russian girls looking for? Are some of them sincere when they say " looking for a kind honest man"? Like the song goes I ain't joe fashion and I ain't Tom Seleck", but I am an averge joe, "looking for a kind honest woman". Is there a possibility that even a small percentage of these women for real?
There are many successful stories here. Just go back and read more of the forum posts. This particular site does well in ejecting the scammers. Most of what you read is about people getting contacted via "free" sites. Almost all the guys that are here are "average Joes". Join up, start writing to some girls. It becomes very addictive to say the least. Never send anyone money and you will never be scammed. It's that simple. Yes, they are real and they are too good to be true. You just have to find the one that's right for you.
I think that you should not have such a negative attitude just because you read many unsuccessful stories. First, I should tell that in forums more people discuss their bad experiences rather than good. Actually, that’s what the forums are for. People can share their experiences to caution other guys against their mistakes. Such advice is always helpful. Once you are in a particular situation it will help you to consider your problem in all its bearings.
Those guys who are happy with their FSU girls usually do not post messages as they do not have time and reasons for this. I wish I could see more guys in forums who tell about their positive experience!
Moreover, usually success stories are available on websites of dating agencies. I am a client of anastasiaweb.com and they have a lot of testimonials from their happy clients here: http://www. anastasiacomplaints. com.
So, my advise is to take other guys’ experience into consideration and do what your heart and common sense say to you!
jrssn621,
Possibility that you'll find your soulmate here is rather high.
We have more than 13 thausand women's profiles posted at our website and you may write to any lady that you like. Most of them are average Russian Mariyas or Elenas. They post their profiles sincerelly hoping to find their soulmates just like you hope to find soul partner. So why average Russian woman can't be sincere when she says "looking for kind honest man"?
There are a lot of talks about scams on this forum because when people are new and just started they are afraid to get scammed. That is why they discuss it all the time. We do work hard to protect our customers and to avoid possible scammers on our site. When we work with agencies its not hard to do, we are in contact with all managers, we have a contract with them and we can take legal actions in case of scam. So agencies are responsible for every girl they send to us. But things are much more complicated when a girl is registered and independent and has a private e-mail address. Sometimes things she writes from the fiance.com account are okey, but then she offers you to send messages directly at her e-mail address and we cant track possible scam from here. So stay wihtin our website while you are searching for soul mate and that will keep you protected . But if you decide to correspond by private email be careful and don't give her any money untill you get to know her very well.
Also it might help to keep in perspective that the stakes are usually much higher for the women than the men. Men may loose a few hundred bucks to scams if they are not careful, and that obviously is not a pleasant thing, but the women if all goes well for them will end up uprooting their lives, leaving their freinds and family behind, adapting to a new culture, and start their lives all over again with no guarantee for a successful outcome. Against that to me the loss of a few hundred bucks, or even thousands, seems rather trivial.
re.: "... Also it might help to keep in perspective that...."
(...uproting lives, etc.)
One might think that it is only reasonable that women with good education, good jobs, and friends and family, will be reasonably selective.
"A kind, honest man" might not be enough, he should probably match her in education and intellect...
She may be very honest, yet not totally willing to accept the first average Joe Blow who writes to her.
!!!
Be selective, in hind site I would try to not just write letters to pictures, I mean the photos are delightful but I started writing based mostly on the appeal of the photo posted. I think if you have a choice try to find a woman that speaks English, level 7 or higher, I would search based on that first and if the female is not what you want drop the English level down some. There is the book too, it will make you very successful if you follow the tips but you will write me about that at my e-mail. I promised Miss Olga our best friend here that I would not advertise here on the forum.
The real women that are serious will not ask you to bring them to your country they will want you to come to their city first to meet. These woman are better educated I think as a whole than most woman generally speaking, they also have string values as well, I believe the scammers are men that have stolen photos and manufactured identities. Recent reports are revealing this opinion. So they will expect the man to be the doer and decision maker. I have found it to be true that the nice girls are not looking for Daddy Warbucks either they just want a guy that can support a family of four. They want security, financial security, emotional security, and fidelity, another form of security. I think this is important as well.
The women are a little insecure sometimes, they receive and write many letters, only to have the guy they are writing to loose interest and stop writing, only three percent of the male dating population make it overseas to visit a woman. So you will have to do something different to prove you are a serious candidate. Write a great letter of introduction of some length and substance, reveal yourself, talk about your life, who you are, what you like, and tell your story. Get it translated into Russian and save it so you can duplicate it. When you send a letter to a girl in Russian it cause a certain attachment especially a letter of length and substance of who the guy is asking for her attention, now get the girl to write to you in this same manner, many men find it is easy to fall for the picture but in less you have an emotional attachment you will be going from one photo to another. Make the girl you like want to invest with you in this process, bottom line no attachment emotionally equal no meeting!
The guys you see here writing are mostly guys that are partway through the process, the guys that are successful drop in from time to time when they are not in a foreign country courting a girl they are going to marry. Do not be afraid to ask questions.
Here is my best take on things. There are plenty of women here for you to find what ever it is you are looking for and the people here at Fiancé are concerned and committed to the clients (you and me. Drop all other sources for meeting women and concentrate all your efforts here and as you learn more of the process and of this site and the culture of the Woman of this region you will be in awe of the possible future this site offers. I am culling right now, hard term to use, but I read the book and a bunch of guys here have schooled me. I have too many choices writing to me and have to get it down to three or four choices, really I have made my choice about a girl, I am just having a hard time withdrawing from several of these girl's I have become fond of. I really enjoy the attention. These woman are competitive, men are a tight commodity; if you market yourself properly your dream girl can be a reality here. You do not have to settle here, now go and get in the game.
I am about to married and had pregnancy confirmed last week, so yes you can find your soul mate. O f the 225 girls I wtote to and the 6 I met, only one asked me for money, of the 6 I met, all were lovely and honest and genuine
Man it's like a lottery. You have to be in it to win it. Wether you meet them where you wwork or half way around the world. I was about to give up on this place but then met someone that seems geuine. I have no way to know if she's showing me her true self or just what she feels I want to see. Only way to really find out in the end is to go and see her and spend some time. Common sense can get you a long way. Don't think with your heart. And don't think with your other head. If your radar is broken when it comes to women then looking overseas will not better your chances. You will most likely still choose poorly if this is the case. I'm not trying to discourage you at all. Just trying to help you put all this into proper perspective. But then again, what do I know? LOL
Good luck!
To all and especially Wessman,
Thank You for your sincere and honest advice. I have decided to make a go at it and will follow your suggestions. It has been a while since I have even considered getting into relationships but after reading your replies I belive there is hope even for a skeptic like me. I still find it a little hard to belive that women with moral and social values exist. Hopefully my attitude will change soon. Thank you Mr Wessman for your suggestion at avoiding "picture infatuation", I have have learned from the past that a beautiful face does not allways come with with a beautiful heart or soul. Mr Groon thanks! Some introspective look into my past choices will definitely be taken into consideration. Again, thank you all for restoring some faith in me I will continue to read the forums and take your kind guidance to heart.
Remember the most important advice came from a toad. I have seen some fat ones and some ugly ones and a lot of real thin ones in the road but never a tall toad.
Jrssn, I was kind of in the same boat as you. I dated so many women in my past and nothing good ever came from any of it. But I really knew that somewhere in this world she exists. Whether it was in my own city or across the world, somewhere she exists. I just knew deep inside there was a woman as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. For me, she does exist and she does live on the other side of the world, but I FOUND her, or as she would tell you, she found me. I consider myself very lucky but I do believe all of us have our soulmate out there.. somewhere. Some of us find it and others don't. I hope you have the same good fortune as me, I can tell you its a feeling I can't describe. Good Luck.
