PostHeaderIcon Is This Real?

I get asked these questions so often! Sure I understand the doubts you have. I had the same doubts and suspicions you have now. Can these beautiful Russian women be real? Are they really looking for a foreign husband? Why can't they find a man in Russia? Would they really be interested in me? Are they just looking for a meal ticket out of Russia? In other words...IS THIS FOR REAL???

Of course I'm not going to say anything but YES it's for real! I do understand your doubts though. I was in your situation 4 years ago. A friend of mine came back from working in St. Petersburg and he couldn't stop talking about Russian women, how beautiful they were, how friendly they were, etc etc. I had just got my first computer and had just connected to the Internet. I imagine if you are reading this page you have recently discovered the delights of Russian women! He told me to see if I could find Russian women online. Sure enough I did. And like you I just couldn't believe these women were for real. I also couldn't believe what these Russian women dating sites were telling me. All of them were saying the same things. How all these women would be interested in me, how they didn't care about my looks, how they all didn't care how old I was and so on. Well over the years I learnt that this was not exactly true!

Can these beautiful Russian women be real?

All the women on our pages are real. Every woman has to provide proof of their identity when they apply to join our network. Russian women have 2 passports. Internal and international. Internal passports provide personal information about that person including whether they have been married and if they are legally divorced and so on. We will not accept any woman who can't provide their internal passport. Every woman has to provide a phone number where we can contact them. However the women are not obliged to include this number with their contact information that we provide to you. We do not accept women's applications by post. We do not accept women's applications by email. Unfortunately many website's do! And they just have no idea if the woman is real or not. They just gamble on it and at the end of the day it's you who pay's for it and loses.

So EVERY woman on our service has joined by meeting our agents face to face. So yes they are real!

Are they really looking for a foreign husband?

Another misconception that is stated all over the Internet is that ALL Russian women are looking for a foreign husband. It's just not true. At the time of writing we have 16'000 women online. It seems a lot doesn't it? But this is just a tiny fraction of women from Russia. The majority of Russian women DO NOT want to leave Russia. My wife comes from Volzhsky in southern Russia. There are 5 women to 1 man in her city. The population of Volzhsky which is considered a small town is 350,000. Of this we have just 600 women from Volzhsky wishing to marry a foreigner! My wife has many single friends that would make wonderful Russian brides but despite the fact they have seen how happy she is and her standard of living is so much better than theirs, they still don't want to leave family and friends and relocate to a foreign country. Women who join our service think real hard about it. It's not a decision that is taken lightly. Many don't like the fact their pictures and personal information is posted on the Internet for all to ogle at! My wife had real concerns that her employers would see her ad. But she took the risk in the end and said it was her decision and friends, family and work colleagues who didn't agree with it had to accept it. So joining our service is a serious decision made by the women. Many women also realise that their children or future children will have a far better upbringing in another country.

Why can't they find a man in Russia?

I've answered this in part above. Women out number men a great deal. A lot of young Russian men are conscripts in the Army. Many are serving in Chechnya. Unemployment is high, economic conditions are extremely poor, drug and alcohol abuse is high among men in Russia. I saw a policeman in Minsk directing traffic will completely blind drunk! I just couldn't believe it! But alcoholism is a real problem in Russia. Many married men openly have mistresses and treat women badly. Of course there are many fine Russian men too. And they get snapped up very quickly. So some women have decided enough is enough and are looking for a man overseas.

Would they really be interested in me?

The majority of Russian women dating services online today write what guys want to hear. They are taking advantage of men and some of their claims are just not true. Please don't think Russian women are queuing up to marry the first guy that writes to them. When I first started looking for Russian women I didn't have that much competition! The Russian women dating service online was in it's infancy. 4 years on and things have changed a great deal. You guys now have a lot of competition out there. Beautiful Russian women know this too. The best looking ladies get 100's of letters. And can be a little more choosy. You really have to be realistic in your approach. I'm seeing younger and younger men writing to Russian women. 3 years ago the majority of my clients were 45 and over. And sure these guys had a very good chance of marrying a 22 year old woman. This was because young women never heard from guys close to their age. This is not the case now. I now have plenty of affluent professional men around 30 to 35 years of age. I even have men of 20 writing to women! If you are over 45 then you will find it unlikely that the very attractive Russian ladies under 30 answering you positively. They are getting plenty of letters from younger men. Try to be realistic. Write to women who are 30+ and with a child. You will have far more success and we have 100's of wonderful women from 30 years old. Women with children receive fewer letters, women speaking little English receive fewer letters and older ladies receive fewer letters. If you are 50 and really want a young Russian bride of 25 then you are going to have to write a lot of letters before you get positive responses. Another point is to make your letters interesting.

Are they just looking for a meal ticket out of Russia?

No they are not. They are looking to find a decent guy who will love them and treat them well. They also want to be able to bring their family up in a good, stable environment. There are far easier ways to get out of Russia than by marrying a foreigner. Have you seen what is involved in marry a Russian woman? Read this page to find out: How to marry It's not a case of marrying a guy, getting a new passport in that country and dumping him. It takes years for these ladies to get nationality status in your country. And try to remember what they are giving up. They are leaving everything and everybody they love back in Russia to gamble it on happiness with you. Would you do the same? My wife went through a very emotional ordeal when she had to say goodbye to her parents and get on a plane to the UK with me. She spent the first year being very lonely and worked very hard at adapting to British life. She is an amazing woman and I have total respect for all women who make this decision to leave their homeland. Are they doing it for a meal ticket out...... I don't think so, do you?

I think if you read through my site you will understand I've put a lot of work into this. I don't try and hide information and I don't offer false promises which many other sites do. I've been to Russia many times and have written my findings here on this site. I've written to many Russian women over the years and met many of these women. I've married a Russian woman and brought her to the UK. I have a lot of experience in this business and openly share it with all that visit my pages. I don't think there is much more I can do to convince you if you think this is still not for real. I'm sure there are guys out there that have their preconceived few of this business and even if I pictured myself standing next to each woman in Red Square in Moscow they would still think it's not for real. In life you have to take a gamble now and again. This is one gamble I'm glad I took....
