Russian Dating Sites Reviewed
Navigating the Russian dating sites and agencies should be a scary prospect for someone new to pursuing Russian and Ukrainian women. It is a virtual minefield where you have no idea who to trust.
What is even scarier is what you'll find if you search the web for reviews about these sites for yourself! From my own searches I suspect that some of the scammiest agencies spend the most on manipulating the search engines.
That makes it even harder to know who to trust.
Having now said that, I obviously need to give you a reason to trust me, right?
Well, having been around that block a few times, I can tell you a
little about some of the sites and agencies I've encountered in one form or another, both the good and bad. So my reviews are based upon direct EXPERIENCE.
But for most of my reviews I give good, common-sense reasons for my positive or negative reviews... reasons that you can verify for yourself.
I DO receive affiliate commissions from some sites if you click through to them and order anything, but I can reasonably demonstrate that this does not skew my objectivity by pointing out two facts: (1) some of the sites for whom I offer critical reviews offer lucrative affiliate programs. If money were the driving force here, I would be an AnastasiaWeb affiliate and singing their praises. (2) I offer very positive reviews on sites that offer no affiliate agreements (like the Angelika Network). These two facts combined should demonstrate that I am not in the practice of trading my conscience for profit.
By the way, some of the Russian dating sites and agencies I review negatively have a reputation for intimidating critical reviewers, often threatening to sue for libel/defamation. In an attempt to insulate myself from accusations of libel, I carefully choose the wording in my negative reviews so as to avoid the potential legal hassles later. If a review sounds negative, but a little "fuzzy", you may need to read a little between the lines.
| Note: |
These reviews of Russian dating sites were accurate when they were initially written, and I attempt to keep them up to date, but prices, service offerings, and other details often change without my knowledge. Having said that, some things rarely change much: Integrity and excellence of service. Russian dating sites that offer good honest service will usually continue to do so as long as they are under the same ownership/managment, and those that are scammy and crooked will usually continue that way.

You can read their own plug on their site, but I've used this site for years and believe that it is by far the best, most honest site in the industry, especially for communicating directly with Russian women.

To use this site you will need to wear sunglasses to shield your retinas from the gaudy bright pink background of every page. But if you can get past that, it is one of the best Russian dating sites and has gorgeous Russian women and honest services.

These two sites, and many others, are part of the umbrella operation, www.cupidmedia.com, which specializes in international online matchmaking.

I went on AFA's group tour to Kiev and loved it. However, subsequent experience suggests that their letter services are highly suspect.

This is a big site with many local affiliate agencies throughout Russia and Ukraine, and many affiliate sites. If you do any web searching on your own, you WILL find this site, or one of its mirror sites. BUT I STRONGLY recommend that you NOT use any of their services without reading my full review first.

Kherson Girls is both a local agency based in Kherson and a small network of agencies throughout Ukraine. Although they are usually rated as an honest agency, their prices are very high and policies very restrictive.

Kiev Connections is a fairly unique stand-alone agency in downtown Kiev. They are one of the rare honest agencies in the business and offer competitive prices for most of there services, but are considerably overpriced for their Matchmaker service.

Comment about UkraineDate.com
I got an email about this site (advertising), very similar to russiancupid.com but there's NOT a lot of choice right now, maybe because they're new? Chat ...
