What a lovely lot of russian women there seem to be... and to attract us men to the site a free first letter is offered -or is it free - this is my first time and I have sent 6 letters to rather nice women.. the first reply was within 24 hours - but alas after reading it I realised it was just a computer generated letter - possibly one this particular girl filled out a few months ago - one that every man would recieve who contacted her - so its not a real reply at all.. so lets get honest here olga - its not a real free first letter is it ???
now i feel a scam coming on and I'm not sure about passing my credit card details to such an agency ...
Actually it is supposed to be a eral first free letter. I mean that agencies have a contract with us, according to that thay are obliged to deliver each message to girls. But since some people are interested in getting money much more, then helping people to meet each other, sometimes we have cases when the agencies send responces on the behalfof the girls. I can also tell you that we are constantly working on those cases, and as soon as we get claims like that from our customers we investigate those case and ask the agencies to provide the proves that the girl really exists and that she finally got the message from this costomer. Moreover, sending of a pre-written responses is a serious reason to stop our coperation with this agency.So if you feel that this is a scam-contact us.Since its a gfreemesage-you didnt loose your money and we can avoid scams at the beginning.
There is one more reason too.As you know, first messages are free on the site and each men can write an unlimited number of free first letters.After that when they get a responses they choose only two or one lady for further paid correspondence. So it happens that a lady can write 20 responses and after that nobody of those men will write her back( because all those men wrote more then 200 fre letters and got like 100 responses to choose.)So ladies are choosy too, and in order not to waste their time they just let the agency send the first message to each one who contacts her. Usually first letters contains detailed info on her biography and things that she wants in life.This is a second case.
And the third one, that is not in your favour ;-) Sometimes men wrire short letters, like "Hello, my height is xxx, my weight is xxx I am coming to Russian soon, bye."No other information,and after that men are greately surpriesed that they get pre-written messages. Why not? I can understand the lady that send it.If a man didnt cared to write a nice and warm letter about himself, why the lady should care to do same thing to him???And why an agency of the lady should care to deliver a couple of lines to the girl?(just note-you send first message for free, it means that when a girl gets your message, nobody is paid for this-the agency delivers it for free and the agency sends , types and translates her response for free.Why people should make lots of efforts for free, it the initial message of men doesnt worth it? Did he wrote about his life, ot asked her some questions, or shared his ideas?? No he didnt. then why should she care?. I know many ladies who are genuenly intersted in finding a husband, but they are overwhelmed with letters like "Hello sweety, would you like to chat with guy like me?Write me!Bye, John" Those ladies just ask the agencu forward her initial response. This is for saving her time and the time of the other people.
And I am 100%( or lets better say 90%) sure that all warm, detailed and long letters get the real( not pre-written responses of the same kind)
Please understand I am not justifying the agency that send you a pre-written answer in 24 hours. I know you order ID and I'll have a talk with this agency on this case. I just wanted to explain you-if you feel that this is scam-contact us please. But in your particular case your letter to this lady was much less informative then her "response".sorry. just my personal oppinion ;-)))
i have written detailed letters and have backed off substantially from detailed letters in order not to overwhelm the recipient with too much information. it seems that no response is the norm.
i di sagree with your assessment. why doesn't the female just say exactl y what she wants? the world is big and your sites can take in other s who are non-russians. let's get to the point for once. rmm. ----- Ori ginal Message ----- From: Dating Discussion Forum Sent: Monday, 09 December, 2002 05:04 To: rmm_nico@hotmail.com Subject: first free letter ??? http://forum.dating-ru.com/forum2.asp?Main=ShowTopic&a mp;topicid=208

Well olga - I decided to pay for a response to lady 13000 so I will assess this response and decide if this is real somehow - but I'm still skeptical and would rather be assured somehow that this person exists... and is responding to me...
when she responds I will forward more real information - she can ring me collect on
0064 6 3540315 during our work hours - and I would love to hear her voice..
okey, lets see from here. I am not sure that she will rush calling you immediately( she doesnt know you at all). When she responds you we can assist you n arranging a phone conference with her. Or if she speaks English herself we'll ask for her phone number. Anyway, same as you I want to be sure that girls in our database are real and they get their messages and you'll get all my assistance in this matter.
Thank you olga - i intend sending her something - to encourage a relationship and a photo is now on its way via your site .. correspondence must be real before any more dollars pass your way.
Zed22000,
I'd like to offer some help. I sent a first free letter accompanied by a picture (I paid for the pic) to 4 girls from this site four months ago. I got four responses. One notified me that the girl had asked that her profile be removed from the site, another girl responded one month later saying how sorry she is she could not respond earlier, etc., the girl sounded real, but the excuses didn't, so I didn't bother to reply. The third one responded with a letter that sounded real and we exchanged a couple more letters only to realize that we ran out of fuel. The fourth girl was the one that I was most interested in to begin with. We exchanged four translated letters through the site. In every letter I was more and more convinced that we were incredible match and I started thinking that she might be the one. I've got to admit that I am generally suspicious and gave her some hard time until I became convinced about her intentions, but this also convinced me that she was truly interested in me. I asked her phone number and called her directly. I was astonished to find out that her English was very good and also she had direct email, which she shared with me. We continued writing emails and speaking on the phone 2-3 times weekly. Our interest for each other grew very much and I was invited to her country. I was in Kiev, Ukraine in mid-November for 5 days and she came from another city to meet me. These were the 5 best days in my entire life, no kidding. We have totally fallen in love with each other. I am going to her city in Christmas for ten days to meet with her again and also meet with her parents. I have also started the process to bring her to America as soon as possible. My life has totally changed and she has become the most important part of it. So, bottom line, my advice is this: don't get discouraged by scams or ill-conceived ways to make money. You are out there in the hope that you'll hit that jackpot that will entirely change your life. I think there are many Russian women out there who are real and they would make fabulous life partners. I have tried other dating sites in the last four five months and spent a few hundred dollars sending letters and receiving mostly fake replies. The best example of on-line dating fraud is a site called: Anastasia Web. I posted my profile for free and then received more than 100 emails and pictures from ladies in 7 days (I stopped counting at some point). The catch is that there are no first free letters. You've got to pay $6 to open a lady's letter and then another $6 to send a reply and so on. The letters are supposed to be translated, but you are limited to a couple of paragraphs. In addition, you cannot ask for the lady's email (because that's how the site's owners make their money). So, my experience is that dating-ru is overall a legitimate site and the deals they offer are reasonable when compared to the crap that is about hit the fan in this industry. At the end of the day, you will have to spend some money to get what you want and some of this money may be wasted. To some extent, it's a bit of a gamble for us, but it's also a gamble for the ladies. My girl came to meet me in Kiev and of course we had established a confidence level in each other already, but what if I were a freak pretending to be legit and intended to harm her? Let's take the point of view of the girls also and apply some common sense. My view is that if the first reply is a computer generated letter, don't waste more time, change gears and pick another girl, don't waste your time and money. Also, be very clear about what you want from her and what you are willing to offer to her from the first letter. If you don't get in her first letter specific response to your questions, don't bother. Hope this helps a little. Enjoy your Kiwi summer.
Thanks for that encouraging input dvretto - that is how we expect things to happen -I have to be even more careful when it comes to the dollars as our exchange rate is 50% of your dollar - but once a lady is assured that will not matter... I once lived with and dated a lovely girl from the ukraine here in n.z. and havent forgotten the romance we had... she was lovely inside and on the outside .. Cheers
Well olga I guess I have somewhat of a beef with your agency.I have been on your site before and know you do what you can to do the right thig for us.But just have a comment on this first letter free stuff.I wrote tatyana and sent picture to,that cost me 3 dollars!well I wait and wait and get no e-mail notice that she writes back so i figure she was not interested.wrong...I just think maybe i should go back to this site and take a look at my account...and there she was..waiting for a reply...well i also see that it takes two weeks to get back anyway and with one week thats is wasted now i wonder if she will write me back.Yes i write her again,being a victim of two scammers allready has not dampened my spirits at all cause I think this one is genuinely interested in me.Well anyway I write second letter and in threes days i get e-maill saying she has responed..."WOW" But again to my dissapointement the wrong letter was sent to me...I begin to think why waste my time...well i just think she is worth it and i hope for you to get in touch with this lady and tell her that it was not my doing at all...I finally find a sweet tender lady and it takes a month just to get response and some of this delay I feel was not her fault at all.I know its not hard for a lady to get e-mail address so I ask her to do this to avoid making contact throught this site.There is really is no reason for this and yes you have another un-satisfied customer.I try to give benefit of doubt but when I get the wrong letter...come on...and i paid 13 bucks for that one.You are to expensve for bad service.I even called the number on e-mail and talked to very sexy Russian lady...that was nice..:-)but did not get good service at all.My concern is for Tatyana and wht she will think of me.tryed to explain to her in second letter,now have to wait and see if i lose a terrific lady becuase she may not trust me because i am late to respond...not good at all..and i am here for romance and find love of my life...and it should not be this way.Hopefully she will understand..maybe better if you write her and tell her of this situation..I know theres only so much you can do olga and place the blame on no one..just make it right and i would appreciate this very much...thanks...Bob..it took 3 weeks to get her response...this is to much time...and does she know about this??...I am here for her sake as much as mine!!
hi Bob. you are quite right saying that in your situation it was nothing but our bad service.Im really sorry that instead of helping you we only disappointed you.What can I do now for you..right now I found out that it really was a fault of our administrator, that submited a letter to other customer to you. In fact we didnt get a response from Tatiana so far,her agency didnt send it to us yet.Tatiana will not think bad aboutyou anyway, because I'll explain her agency the what happened with her first response.
thank you olga,and i did not know she was with other agency but should have known I guess...thanks again!!..so now the wait goes on..who is the other agency or can you tell me??..
Almost 90% of all girls at this site-girls from the other agencies.It works the following way: the agencies that doesnt have their own websites( or the agencies that just want more promotion for theit girls) place the data of the girls at our sites. When we get message for a girl we send this message to the agency of this girl and then they send us their response. The girl you are talking about is from Mariupol Marriage agency"Visit-Fortune",and I cant give you their address, you can give your e-mail in your message and if girl wants she can contact you directly via her agency.Or discuss this with her in a phone conference that I've seen your ordered.
My very first RW contact was legitimate, there was no two ways about it, we spoke on the phone, we sent letters (e-mails) to each other and her e-mails were terrific, she really expressed herself. She was from A Foreign Affair Dating agency who gives you the actual address of the girl when you pay a small sum. She never asked for money and when I offered she declined. I have no doubts in my mind Angela and many women like her exist and looking for someone who will take care of her. No, I am not with her, she suddenly disappered, for what reason I do not know and probably will never know. All the same the heart tells you if she is real.
So happens I just decided to call her phone number and was told she is now living in Holland....... Which tells me that if you think you are the only one, your not. In her case I can understand anyone wanting to be with her. Good luck to them both.
Monolith,
That's why you need to be quick when you locate what seems to be the "right one" and go see her and if you can't do this immediately, then bombard her with phone calls and cards in the mail and send flowers (apparently valued very much by russian girls). According to my own experience, going to see the girl as quickly as possible and in the meantime making sure she
counts on you going there to see her is instrumental in winning her. Good luck in your pursuits.
