I just want to warn you against using gloriabrides.com. The problem is that it is very expensive to get the contact information of the women that are registered on this site. To get the contact information of a woman there, you need to spend at least 10 hours chatting with this specific woman, or write at least 15 letters to her, which obviously costs a lot. Then you can get her contact information for 200 so-called "coins", which costs another 90 dollars as of today.
Luckily I found out this before I spent a lot of money on this site.
Many of these types of sites are set up with the intention of you never ever really meeting the girl behind the pic. The correspondence is faked and if you ever actually do go to her country 'she' suddenly becomes unavailable.
A real girl is going to have a busy life. She's not going to have 10 hours a day to chat with you.
Here is a list of websites similar to gloriabrides. Gloriabrides was rated as "safe" by this site. My guess is that safe means not infested with malware.
"I joined Russian Brides and quickly received 500 mails from the most beautiful women you could wish to see. I decided, against my better judgement, to buy some credits. You can send emails for free but you have to pay with credits to open the replies...and believe me they will reply. 20 emails later, I realised that the replies were sometimes... accurate and sometimes vague and generic. I offered to meet her, she said yes but next year when they have holidays. She then wrote to me asking me when I have a holiday!!! Does not make sense..the same girl...20 emails later and asking me when I am having a holiday yet we'd supposedly arranged to meet in January 2015. Just one example of many I could quote...but I hope you get the point!
I conclude that they are paid commission...and "they" could be anyone! A little old bloke in a room who is masquerading as a beautiful young bride. It's a scam!!! Save your money!"
"To begin with this site offers some of the most beautiful women in the world however, their rates charged to talk to a woman are based on coins...to buy 20 coins it costs you currently $16 or 80 cents per coin, you can get them the cheapest buying coins at 1000 for 400 dollars. USD (about 1/2 the cost to fly over there priced that at 852.00... today. Well Expensive? Just find a cute girl here in America ask if you can take 5 pictures of her and start making part of the money there charging as a girl. Call your self "HILDABOMB". It costs a 10 coins to open a letter, 10 coins to send a letter, a coin a minute to chat, 10 coins a minute for video chat. phone calls are about the scam. Come on in 10 minutes spend 80 bucks for a phone call when we now have skype and facetime...this company is trying to screw the general public so keep your money in your pocket If they married you then you were lucky you must of looked hard to find the one real woman who joined looking for love. So if you hear the vacuum at your wallet, its definately Russian Brides. Com! . screwed blued and tatooed! Since Anastasia Date is parent company, I would stay away from them too!!! Respectifully and true, JW!"
This site is connected to the anastasiadate.com scam pyramid (asiandate.com, amolatina.com).

I must concur. I wrote to a couple of girls on AOB many years ago,,, and when I wanted to meet one,,, there was no way to get their contact info. It could not go through a letter, or even with a flower order. I contacted AOB and asked them what good does it do to write letters if a guy can never meet?? They had no procedure or mechanism in place for the introductions! They finally gave me the number of the local agency. I traveled to Herson to meet that girl,,,, and she didn’t know anything about me.
"TomZ i chat around 10-12 hours a day, so i'm not real? :) "
moyarishka do you get paid for chat? Do you receive any compensation for chat? If you worked for Anastasiadate you would. And yes, for some girls this is their work.
I know a guy who would try to meet girls from Anastasiadate and they would only meet him if there was some financial incentive for them (interpreter, restaurant, etc.) because in order to meet him they would have to take time off work (chat) and they would not be earning money during the time that they were meeting him.
And I should mention that under that scenario the money that you're paying the interpreter is split between the girl that you're meeting and the interpreter.
TomZ, i wish i got paid for that :))))
He's my boyfriend, maybe you haven't heard of a word "relationship" but that's what it is!
Since i can't see him every day, we chat a lot.
'And I should mention that under that scenario the money that you're paying the interpreter is split between the girl that you're meeting and the interpreter.'
How would you know TomZ if you only date girls who speak English......on don't tell me, you HEARD this!!
TomZ:,,, “You've been taken advantage of more than once.”
Oh,,,, I hope so!!
Poltava??? 80usd? No,,, go read it again! Herson,,,,, and it was 90usd,,,,, and I didn’t care about the money,,,, I was pissed about wasting my time. It was the trivial/petty amount of money that bothered me. To write to men,,, lure them over and all of the expense and wasted time,,, JUST for 90usd?? It was like burning down a forest,,, just to toast some marshmallows,,, and they think nothing of it!
After that, I had a good time in Herson,,,, went thru Nikolayev and had lunch at the little café.
Back then, 300USD was a poor months wages,, and that’s without being divided in half between the girl and interp. It’s extra cash for their weekend. The interp has been on scammer watch sites for years now. The girl dumped her boyfriend of at least 5 years,,,, has been to California to see her older sister once or twice.
The money is not that important to me,, because I don’t make that many trips. I didn’t spend 17 to 36 hours duration,, flight and taxi time to pinch pennies. But I can understand how a poor sex tourist needs to make his money last,,,, 2usd hostels and dumpster diving, etc!
