Recently checked this site out, but haven't spent money yet. I kind of figured it was too good to be true. But I have to say, they do a pretty convincing job. Previously I tinkered around a Russian site and the immediate response I had from females was over the top. The first mails from these women tended to be fairly long and detailed which had me wondering from the beginning. My thinking was, "who has so much time to be sending mails like that?" My responses were fairly short and not really personal at all, but by the third mail I was already being referred to as 'dear', and they were making plans to come to be with me, even though they had no idea by that time where I was living. Also at that point they would ask for money, not too much though, maybe around $500 or so. The reasons varied, but I recall one was something along the lines of, she had flown from her home town to Moscow, but needed more money to fly the rest of the way. I also had to wonder, that while I guess I would be considered quite good looking in my later 40's, why is this model type 20 something year old beauty interested in me? Furthermore, I noticed that my name was never used in the mail, and while I asked some fairly specific questions, they were never answered. So it led me to believe that all the mail was simply automated, with probably the same one going out to hundreds of men everyday. With this in mind, I decided with one girl that I would ask for naked photos of her before we meet so that I could be sure she was the one for me. I figured on some automated reply with my request not being answered, but I have to admit, it was the one and only time it seemed my mail was read. She said she would not send naked pictures for even $1,000, to which I replied I would not even send her $1 since for all I knew I was mailing with Ivan in Moscow, or even possibly Mike in New York.
Having read a lot of the other mail on here, all of this would lead me to believe that they are indeed real women, but are only out looking to make easy money off of the suckers out there. The mails sent out are maybe not automated, but pre written with the same one used over and over again. Someone may scan your mail, but they are not replying to most or all of the questions you have.
Which leads me to Anastasia. I have to admit this site seemed more legitimate to me, because all of the mail I received did actually use my name. In fact in at least one, she used it several times throughout the mail which means someone was at least making the effort to fill in the blank with my name where she had to. Not only that, but the mail was quite specific. I am a private investigator, and she didn't just ask about my job in a general way, she said she had never met a private investigator before and asked about it. So to be fair to the site, I have to say at this point, if someone is actually making an effort to type a mail, I may spend $20-30 on just the one woman to pursue it a bit further. Also guys, try to be realistic. These women are not deperate for a man or to leave Russia/Ukraine, so don't go thinking a 20 something year old beauty will be interested in a 40 or 50 year old guy, no matter how good looking you think you are. On a closing note about Anastasia and some other sites, check out loveplanet.ru, or other sites for that matter, and you will see the real women. Some beauties, some not so, basically no different than the sites in your own countries.
I'll also make a note on most of the sites out there. I don't go on any too often, but once or twice I year I may check one or two out, just scanning the pics initially as I'm sure most of you do. I don't bother adding pics initially of myself, or fill out too much aside from my age and area I live in, since I figure the odds are I won't join the site anyway. I have had responses from young attractive women on many sites, before, as I mentioned, my pics are even up...and honestly even if my pics were up, I would not expect a young beauty to be mailing me. You have to remember that for most of the top women, they don't need to do too much scanning pics and sending the initial mail since they will have tons of men mailing them. So I am convinced that these sites may pay some woman to send out mail, trying to get people to join since on many sites you can't read the mail until you do pay. Bottom line, be smart and senseable and do not go crazy. After paying a small amount and mailing with your girl, if you can't get on to regular mail and hopefully the webcam/skype, get out while you still have money to spend on another site. Don't ever be desperate (kind of like don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach), and while I realize it is not the same for everyone, try to remember that being single is not so bad either, and a lot better than blowing money on scams, or even legit women who will marry you and take you to the cleaners down the road.
Last point I promise. Someone else here made an excellent suggestion which I will repeat. If you've mailed with any woman for awhile, Russian, Dutch, Australian, Canadian, American, Venezualan, etc., and it looks like you have both made a connection, log in under a different name, mail her and see if she is honest and says she has met someone, or will tell you she is available. If you still run after her if she says she is still available, seek help!!! And if you have money to send me around the world, remember, I am a private investigator and can check out, follow, video and photograph your future wife for you. Have a good on guys!
