I have never tried them. They are associated with rwglobe because I can log in there with my login name and password. I still go in there now and then because I have tokens I have not used. I believe they are a membership site where you pay just one fee, like fiance.com.
I did use rwglobe once for my first trip to Ukraine. I spent a week with a lady from there. Everything went well except the lady did not like me.
okay --- I didn't want to get into the debate over elena's models. BUT
I mentioned I was inundated with requests from way too many SMOING HOT! young girls when I fisrt started to look into this. RWGLOBE/CLUB10 --- before I even posted a profile other than an email address to sign up. That was when I immediately said to myself, "Self, something ain't right here." And in less than a week I asked them to stop all correspondance with me -- which they kindly did. I'll give them credit for that. There were a couple other 'sites' I looked into.
In five months I plan to get married to a spectacular lady I met through Elena's Models. The sucky part is that there were many knockout women that I had opportunities to meet. Common sense and actually being fortunate enough to meet someone who digs all the same shit that I do was a no brainer. And trust that it was not fall for the first one that came along. I am very particular. And no doubt so is she. So perhaps I just got lucky. But more so -- it was actually seeking someone who wanted the same things from life, enjoyed the same activities and can dance.
I know baron spouts about elena's -- but the truth is, he is correct!

NO, luck increases with hard work. You were realistic and obviously honest about yourself with yourself and with the ladies. They see this and respond in kind.
My RW has been with me for three weeks now and we both couldn't be happier.
With all due respect, have you met this lady yet, is this your first FSU trip? Not trying to diminish what you believe you may have but, PLEASE, walk before you run and when you return you may have a better appreciation of what I am saying to you!
too late martin --- I took one look at her photo and sent her a couple thousand dollars and applied for K1 visa. I just couldn't help myself. She is everything I ever dreamed of!!!! And she told me she loves me!!!!! Why would I even question her? She has an honest face!!!!!! And she says she knows how to cook and clean!!!! And she also told me I will never desire another woman as long as she is with me ;)
How could I even refuse her offer to be my wife? My only concern is that she wants to send money back to Russia every month to take care of her family. But I don't care. The guys at work will envy me for having such a beautiful young wife. Plus she doesn't have children!!!!! She told me she was a virgin and saving herself for the right man. I AM that man she told me!!!!!!!!
baron555 -- did you guys seal the deal? ===== not what others may think =====
Is it official? Congrats! Remember - I don't have to remind you - that the hard part starts now. Interesting that my lady said to me the other day, "It is up to 'US' to make sure we are both happy."
We have discussed ad nauseam that what we are attempting is far more difficult that what average people endeavor. Maybe ten years from now she will be able to beat me in a game of cribbage. I hope so!!! And I don't doubt it. But few on this earth actually can beat me in cribbage. If she grasps it next week, then I am in trouble! Or actually I have struck gold!
more info on elena's models -- my girl told me that there is information given to the 'ladies' that is not available to the men. For instance she was told to make photos of herself in provocative poses (skimpy dress) using a proffessional photographer because the only thing men are interested in is sex. She refused to do that. And we joke about it. And she has shared with me other 'tips' they told her. Fortunately she did not follow those tips and presented herself as she is. And I am sure, because I had corresponded with many, that a very high percentage of these women ( on EM) are genuine and not playing games.
Appointment with the Civli Surgeon is tonight, gonna go to the county office and get the marriage license on Thursday as well as the SS office for the SSNs. Then plan to head to the courthouse on the 31st. Then quickly file AOS documents since we want the APs to be in hand prior to next July when we all plan to return for a three week whirlwind tour of Russia (her flat in Moscow, side trip to St. Pete, then train down to parents in Caucasus Mtns (and maybe sidebar trip to the Black Sea).
And unfortunately there really is not big cultural shock or anything like that; she was well prepared as to what life is like here and is also very worldy and travelled, so there is no big shock.
baron - cool --- I am thinking next year summer trip also -- Tuapse is her stomping ground. dive and collect mussels in the black sea and cook them on the beach!
Also planning a trip to Montana in June/July this year - obviously a civil ceremony here - to have a wedding in Yellowstone with friends. Okay, those of you .... Yellowstone is in Wyoming. I am planning a trip ... Niagara Falls, Michigan (to show her hunting camp), Chicago (to see a show or something -- let me know - would like to see 'Jersey Boys' in Chicago), head west to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse monument, then on to Montana and Yellowstone for a week/ten days. She will have her first fly fishing float trip on the Madison River. And I am taking kayaks/bikes along and will enjoy the shit out of life with her!
Plan to be in Chi-town July 5,6 -- get tickets to Jersey Boys!
Club 10 is OK, at least its a direct contact site rather than an agency portal / pay-per-letter thing. It is VERY ANNOYING that they don't allow exchanges of email addresses in messages though (although they allow phone numbers - go figure ??). Main difference between it and say EM is that its not policed at all so there are a higher proportion of scammers on there.
R29 - spill the beans on those "other tips" the ladies are given please :-).
Ralph,
My wife challenged me for a month to play Chess with her, because she is Russian and most Chess Masters are Russian. It seems that her family and her played Chess quite a bit through the years. She was very sure that she could easily beat me :-)
A couple of weeks ago my niece gave her a Chess set (on my advice) and we decided to play ... it was funny to see the Russian Master lose to an Amateur like me ... TWICE! :-) :-)
Families that play together, usually stay together :-) Now she has one more reason to stay with me: she needs to find a way to show me that she's the Chess Master at home.
FSULover-- already talked about chess with her, can't wait. I just finished talking with her. Funny, I told her I don't care what country she is from, women are women. And they are all the same as far as deciding on curtains, etc.... Especially etc...
We have decided that she come in March instead of end of April -- "...I can work on seedlings for the garden." What a cool lady.
As far as 'tips' I will have to get back to you all. She is very indignant about the fact that she was actually on EM. I will try to get (in a casual manner) more insight.
