First of all I do have to admit I am new at this, I have never dated a lady on the internet or written letters to them until about a week ago. I am a member of alot of different dating sites now. One site that I would like to ask about ( if anyone knows ) is anastasiaromance.com on there site all the woman seem to look like supermodels in my standards. I also have been getting tons of replies, I am talking about like in the few hundreds, last I checked it was around 342 replies or women just wanting to write to me.
about their site, it is a pay per view of mail veiwed and if you write them back. for me it costs about $5.50 to view each letter and to reply, to me this is very high, that is why I am a member of this site. also it seems that everyone I reply to would write back, always wanting to know more about me and excited and so on. also the site monitors the messages sent and recieved I cant give them my real email address or a phone number, as I guess they want everyone to use their sevices.
I guess what I am getting at is this-- Is it normal to get that many replies? Are the women in the Ukraine and Russia really that beautiful? Or does this sound like like some kind of deal where the website is actually trying to sucker people out of alot of money quick, I have only written a few of the ladies and am already out about 250.00 dollars, just for writting a few letters. I dont think I would want to spend that kind of money just to write someone.
again that is why I am now a member of this site, but I would like some feedback on this if anyone is interested in a reply.
I agree with you as to they all look like supermodels to me too. I don't know much about anastasia because I never wanted to pay that kind of money for correspondence. Luckily soon after I started looking for a lady from an FSU (former soviet republic) nation I found this place. There are alot of women out there that are just here to take your money. But then there alot of genuine women that are out looking for their soulmate.. I would suggest getting the VIP member ship here, then you can write all you want until your fingers fall off. My main message to you since you are new is to lean as much as you can about this before you get too attached to someone. Take the time to read through the forum, there is much to learn.
By the way, yes it is true that these women are some of the most beautiful creatures on the Earth. When I went to Russia I was astounded by the beautiful women everywhere I turned it seemed. Women from my country dont even begin to measure up to these ladies in looks or personality. These ladies are second to none. If men from my country actually realized these ladies are real and exist, the women where I live would be abandoned in seconds. I'm serious. My fiance is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen (in my eyes). Her personality makes me weak in the knees. I have never met such a woman in my life.. When I put the way she looks on the outside and add her personality to it, I am truly shocked that I can be so lucky to have her love. Her call wakes me up every morning and its like music to my ears when I hear her voice, I have to pinch myself to remind myself I am not dreaming. Just do your homework and ask questions. I was here almost a year before I went but everyone has their own pace. Good luck to you in your search and I hope you can be as lucky as I consider myself. =)
I would strongly suggest you try fiance.com vip membership for a couple of months...and nothing else.
You will find it's the best $29.95 you've spent for UNLIMITED correspondence with literally 1000s of available women.
The vip membership also gives you access to Eastwestmatch.com.
Sites who charge you per letter each way may or may not be a scam, but it surely will put a big dent in your bank acocunt.
Just do the amth, mate....342 x $5.50 = $1881
Yeah I hear ya, also I do have a membership here, and put the same info on my profile just havent been getting near as many replies, that is what made me stop and think about what was going on. here i get unlimited mails and also freedom to send lots of pics, trade numbers, address's ect... and dont get a ton of replies and the other site monitors everything but I get hundreds of ladies wanting to write me. I just didnt feel right to me. that is why I am canceling my profile there.
I can say that this forum has been very helpfull. It is informative to read the opinions of both sides. I am just a guy looking for love and dont want to get burned, I have to say that because of some of the posts on here about scams has made me look at things alittle bit closer then I have been doing. thanks
You do not want to pay by the letter, Period!! You will have thousands! I am thrifty find a site like fiance that you can pay by the month for unlimited and you will save you bank account!
I'am in the preliminary browsing stage, but i would notice: Look at the pricing structure of the agency and you know in what way you will be scammed (by the agency)
1) The charge extortionary mail transfer prices like $5 or this agency even $8. The ladies will write back to you but none of them will be serious.
2) They charge a high montly fee with unlimited mail transfer for free. The ladies don't write back to you.
3) They charge for adresses. The ladies don't excist or at least not on that site.
4) Pay now everything for live, get refund if unsuccesful. Means pay now get nothing but excusses later.
This agency seems to fall in catagory 1 and 2.
p.s.
They also seem to fall in catagory 3. just type as a search criterium abakan as the town you will find that it is a town in many countries. There excist only one! and at least one of these girls lives in archangelsk, the rest of her profile seems to be right though.
p.p.s.
Am i right in the believe that a mail transfer cost:
2 pages of paper $0.03
1 envelloppe $0.04?
8 ruble stamp $0.25
5 minutes of work $0.68 ($8.16/hr $1500/month)
total $1.00
As an other agency does (including translation) for 4.99 bidirectional or 5.99 registered (don't know which agency was that)
A pricing of $5 for bedirectional that is including the girls answer for free and a telephone call to the lady if she does not respond but without translation apears to me as a very reasonable price. (average profit per mail transfer would be between 3 and 4 dollar, more than enough and already an amount that adds up so fast that that alone would be an invitation to scam nr 1.
Ron, They have a VIP membership here that cost only $29.95 a month with no charge for letters and unlimited amount of letters. Yes, most girls do reply which costs you nothing also.
The VIP membership in this agency is the best way to contact real women from FSU, I am living proof of it.
It works and the women are real.
If the woman you write to does not write back or declines you it simply means she does nto think you are a good match for her. That's all. Rejection is part of the game, mate...and it goes both ways. I have politely declined quite a few ladies who initiated contact but do not match my criteria for what I'm looking.
Make sure you have a well written and comprehensive profile with several photos for the ladies see you and learn some basics about you.
I've been very pleased with this site. My contact rate has been excellent. Almost to a point of being difficult. I was proactive at first and then the first letters from ladies came in. The difficulty here is trying to figure out which lady fits your bill the best. I have cut it down to three now, which I correspond regularly. I'm visiting one in November.
Another thing I have found helpful with the ladies is learning their language. There are many excellent Russian Language courses for the PC. Two of the ladies I communicate with know simple words in english.
One is fluent in english. The other two think it is very respectful that I wish to learn their language. And no the one I'm visiting in November is not fluent in English.
There are scams everywhere in the world. I've enjoyed my time here with some of the ladies and enjoy these gifted idiots,myself included who contribute to this forum. They have made my learning curve shorter and if you can cut through some of the bullshit here, they have made this little adventure fun and at times hysterically funny.
Tyson, The site you mention is a site of 3 or more very similar sites in the way that they operate. Most of the girls are stunning, the first week you join you get letters by about 40 or 50 a day from girls aged 18 and up, they are just intro letters. These sites are made up from satelite agencies, interpreters trawl for new profiles of men and send out intro letters for their girls. If you reply they have to reply it is a rule of these agencies, they are obliged to send out letters if the girl is not sending letters then agency does not make money. If you get hooked on a girl then chances are she will want to chat with you on the site chat system and again that makes money also, chances are you will be encouraged to send gifts and buy them from the site. Sometimes the pictures are no more than stolen from model agencies and the person you are involved with is an interpreter and is playing you for a fast buck. Believe me this does happen. Sites like the one you mention the chances of meeting a serious woman is lower than one in ten. Just because the site is flash and american owned means nothing, the owners have no direct involvement in it, it is self governed and mainly made up from small agencies and alot of the girls are pro daters and gold diggers and are only after your money but good luck you might meet a good one there but there is a significant chance that you will spend thousands before you do.
Moby and Figgis......please have another look at the DATES......I highly doubt he is around since I hadn't heard that name in the 3 years I've been here............
