Russian Women Dating BLOG

1/ In Russia, there are more than 10 million more women than men. This statistic alone fuels the existence of Russian matchmaking services. Russia is one of the few nations that have such a large women to men ratio gap. This gender gap creates issues in its society thus hindering the dreams of many Russian women to marry and start a family. For many single Russian women, searching abroad for a husband becomes a viable option.     

 
2/ Traditional Russian values and culture is very much based around the family unit. It’s for this very reason that western men are far more likely to find an adoring wife who seeks marriage and commitment rather than a casual arrangement. The primary reason and goal for Russian women to engage the services of such agencies is with marriage in mind. Generic online dating sites are very much geared for casual hook ups, and so for men who also seek something more long-term, such as a beautiful wife, Russian women would seem like the ideal solution.   

 
3/ Now that the Internet has become an international tool of communication, regardless of race or culture, accessing Russian matchmaking services is simple. Out-dated terminology such as “dial a bride” or “mail order brides” are a thing of the past in terms of the process for western men to become involved. Seldom does a matchmaking agency mail out catalogues of Russian women. Today, contact is established much faster than ever before, exclusively online. 

 
4/ Employing the services of a Russian matchmaking agency provides potential husbands with speed and convenience. Any reputable agency provides convenient payment options such as Pay Pal and credit cards thus enabling their members to initiate contact with stunning Russian beauties instantly. Customer support is very much geared for the English language, and translation services are also part of the service should language barriers present issues.  

 
5/ Unlike the old times, the women who use Russian matchmaking services are pre-screened, meaning for every scam you may hear about, there are thousands more successful outcomes by comparison. The vast majority of Russian women who have registered with such agencies are not simply looking for a visa, what they are looking for is a better life and a good man to share it with. Contrary to public perception, the vast majority of Russian women are not looking for a husband to support them financially, not at all, these women are generally well educated and have careers or qualifications.

6/ In America, the largest market for western men and Russian matchmaking services, visas will not be issued until couples have met face-to-face and can provide documentation pertaining to their relationship. As a means to comply with U.S immigration requirements, Russian matchmaking agencies facilitate visits to meet their clients in person.

7/ The concept of Russian matchmaking agencies or online dating sites still hold, and probably always will hold a level of scepticism. Even so, statistics continue to show that the levels of men engaging such services continues to escalate. Although not entirely accepted by society as a legitimate way to find your soul mate, the end goal of any respected matchmaking agency is for their customers to find love, and the means by which this is achieved should be irrelevant.

Marriage agencies are not all created equal. Many are legit but some are merely out to scam vulnerable and lonely hearts.

Thousands of single men in developed countries are turning to marriage agencies in the hope of finding a mate.  These agencies act as a go-between, cashing in on a very lucrative industry by introducing men and women from various countries for dating or marriage purposes.

Known by several names like international marriage agencies or international introductory agencies, international marriage broker (IMB), or the somewhat derogatory mail-order bridge agencies, these organizations make money by selling the contact details of the women to their male members. 

If you’re considering engaging the services of a marriage agency to help you find a potential lifetime partner from, let’s say Russia, Thailand or the Philippines, there are some things to take into account to ensure that you don’t get ripped off by bogus marriage brokers. Only a select few marriage agencies are backed up with credible customer reviews based on real life experiences, so make certain you research which services are legit, and which one’s are not.

The most common way with which some marriage agencies or brokers scam their male clients is by selling fake profiles of women to them, using photos or images of women  culled from the Internet. Another ploy is to pose as companies looking for female models and have photos of these women fill their online catalogues which they then sell to the male members.

There are also risks on the part of the women.  In 2010, Vietnamese authorities became alarmed at the growing number of Vietnamese women being sent to foreign countries as mail-order brides after a woman was murdered by her mentally unstable South Korean husband a week after she arrived in his country.

Vietnam remains one of the most popular sources of wife material in Asia. It is estimated that 90 percent of Vietnamese and South Korean weddings were brokered by illegal marriage agencies and that so far, about 40,000 women have been sent to South Korea as mail-order brides.

In 2006, the U.S. Congress enacted into law the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (H.R. 3 402). This law requires the male clients of marriage agencies to fill out a criminal and marital background questionnaire prior to obtaining the contact details of the female members. The agency then checks the men’s information against the database of the National Sex Offenders Public Registry.

Marriage agencies are required to translate the questionnaire into the woman’s native language and provide her with a copy. The woman must express permission that she would like to communicate with the male member before any contact could commence.

The following are some red flags to watch out for when dealing with a marriage agency:

1. The agency is using a P.O Box number instead of a verifiable mailing address.
2. The agency is using a premium rate telephone number.
3. The agency does not allow you to visit its office.
Even still, marriage agencies remain as one of the most common matchmaking platforms known today. When dealing with any matchmaking or online dating service, you should ditch your rose colored glasses and do not make any decision until you have applied due diligence and have verified the history and background of any matchmaking service.

Especially when communicating long distance with your Russian woman, it’s very important to discover if there is a possible compatibility between the two of you. Below I have some simple but important tips for you to keep in mind:

• Most online or long distance dating problems occur because either the two of you are not compatible or you are not communicating enough. Other problems may be because the two of you just are not right for each other.
• Communication is the most important thing when you are dating. Most problems occur because the two of you are having difficulty expressing your feelings or you aren’t being clear about what you want.
• When you both communicate with each other properly it is clear to both of you if you are compatible and have the same likes and dislikes.
• You cannot force a relationship if the two of you are too different or you have different goals for the relationship.
• It is important to communicate about what you need and want from your relationship so you both are satisfied and you are not having disagreements about things.
• Another thing that can cause problems with online dating is if the two of you are not compatible. Communicating properly will tell you if you are or not.
• Compatibility can be difficult if one person in the relationship is needier than the other person. If one of the people wants their space and the other is very needy then it can make it difficult for dating.
• Online dating problems occur when communication skills are not up to par. You have to be comfortable with the person you are with so you can talk to them.
• Being comfortable and being able to communicate will show you how compatible the two of you are. If you don’t have these two things then you might just consider a good friendship.

These days you seldom meet a single person who never tried online dating – unless they aren’t Internet users.

Since you are reading this, I assume you ARE online – so this information can be crucial for your online dating success.

Most people placing personal ads on Internet dating sites seem to do everything to RUIN any of their chances for success. Are you one of them?

Here is how to ruin your online dating campaign:

1. Choose a sleazy user name

Dating sites usually display your user name in your personal profile. So, if you choose something like “hurdcoreXXX” or “badgirl_69″, you are sure to mess up your chances dramatically.

2. Write a timid message

Every day I see people writing in their messages things like, “I hate this part but here it goes”, “I never know what to write here” or simply “Ask me”. Your personal message is the only thing in your profile that is UN-structured – the rest are usually just tick boxes. Make sure you don’t say anything interesting here, so no one will feel compelled to learn more about you.

3. Don’t have any partner requirements

Your requirements for a partner say VOLUMES about YOU. If you do not have any requirements for a partner, you will sound absolutely desperate. No one is attracted to desperate people.

4. Don’t upload a photo

Most users of dating sites search for profiles with photos. If you do not upload your photo, no one will find your ad. It will also severely damage the chances of your “Hi’s”, “Virtual Kisses” or “Smiles” being answered.

5. Don’t pay for premium membership

Usually online dating sites will allow you to place your personal ad for free, but to write to other singles, you have to buy a subscription. Although the price of subscription is cheaper than the price of a movie ticket and popcorn, you should not be tempted. By sticking with the free membership, you ensure you cannot contact anyone. Also some sites place ads of premium members on top of the search results. If you do not pay, your ad will appear on the page 247 of the search results – which will make it nearly impossible to find.

6. Don’t contact other members

Most online dating services will allow you to contact other members for free by sending a “Hi”, “Virtual Kiss”, “Icebreaker” or “Smile” – an expression of interest, to which the other member can respond. Don’t send any of those to anyone, or they may just answer positively. Think only about how bad would you feel if they rejected your advances.

7. Don’t change anything in your ad

Don’t attempt to change anything in your ad. If you change something, it may just start working. Keep with what doesn’t produce any results.

8. Don’t login to the website – ever

Once you placed your personal ad, immediately forget about it – and forget your user name and password, too. Don’t login to the website again. If you do, your ad may jump to the top of the search results and someone may write to you. Don’t take this risk. Just place the ad and forget about it.

If you follow this simple guidance, I can GUARANTEE that you will flawlessly ruin any chances for success with online dating sites and your love life will stay just the way it is!

Every western country has specific rules when you want to bring your non-western fiancée to your country.  Therefore we always advise to check the Government immigration site of your own country for these details. Especially for the reason that they often change.

But many of these rules are corresponding with each other. Therefore we have created a list with most asked questions which apply for almost every western country.

Can we apply for a fiancée visa if one or both of us is divorced?

Absolutely. Be prepared to submit certified copies of all divorce decrees pertaining to the prior marriages of either fiancé.

How long will it take to get my fiancée here?

The time it takes to obtain a fiancée visa, from application through entry, is likely to be several months (4 to 6). The time varies depending on the petitioner’s state of residence and what country the beneficiary is from. Also, criminal background checks, waivers, and errors/omissions during the application process may extend the processing time. Continue Reading »
