stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I'm truly happy and blessed to have spent an amazing 10 days in the Ukraine. My only regrets were not carrying on to Kherson and seeing the wonderful kids at the orphanage. But I did get to spend quality time with Irina and her daughter Liza so I can't complain too much. We are talking everyday and I wish I were back there now with her. She works 7 days a week and still made time for me. Most importantly, she put a smile on my face, in fact, my face hurt from smiling so much! It's a beautiful thing that you do and I very much appreciate being part of your circle. I listen every Monday night and you really put things into perspective for me. To Bud Patterson, Through you I have met some great friends. I really bonded with Scott and its very cool that he lives close by. Also Dave, and I'm very happy he has found love. I am happy for you and the path you are on and I wish you nothing but the best. Thank you again my brother, all my love and respect.

10 Steps That a Girl Must Do to Marry Well 1. Send an application to the managers of the marriage agency Lucky Marriage Agency For this you need to fill out the registration form on our website. Managers will call you and invite for an interview in one of the closest offices to you. 2.

Personally meet with our staff to compile the questionnaire A personal interview is the guarantee of a correct understanding of your needs, opportunities and goals. On the phone, and even on Skype, to understand your psychotype, behavior, style and character will not work. Only a personal meeting with you will allow you to correctly draw up a personal profile and find suitable candidates for you husbands. 3.

Get free consultations with a stylist and a psychologist Foreigners are selective with regard to female beauty. Successful men prefer to see their girlfriend as a well-groomed, confident woman. Therefore, tips and instructions stylist will be useful to every girl, regardless of age, type of appearance and physical data. But the psychologist will help you understand the peculiarities of the male psyche, teach you how to communicate with wealthy men, and also talk about the features of building family relationships with an influential and rich husband.

4. Create a portfolio with our photographer free of charge Professionally made photos will increase the chances of meeting a decent man by 78%. The first thing a man looks at in a questionnaire is a picture of a woman. And it is he who will remember for life.

Your image on the photo will be for the man the first impression, to which he will always return. In addition, the photo session is our gift to you for cooperation with our agency! You do not pay a cent for it. 5.

Register on the site and gain access to the personal cabinet Only after the interview with the manager, stylist and psychologist, after the questionnaire is prepared you will have access to the personal cabinet of the site and become a full client of the marriage agency Lucky Marriage Agency. Access to the office will provide an opportunity to view the base of men from all corners of the earth, make selections for age, hobbies, country of residence and other parameters, and write men messages. 6. Start copying with the men you like The main task of each of our client is to start correspondence with men who liked her.

The initiator can also be the candidates for husbands. All our customers are set for a serious relationship. Therefore, you can safely touch upon the themes of family, marriage, children, without fear of frightening off a man. Do not worry about not understanding each other.

Our translators will come to your aid and help you to establish a dialogue with a man in any language for free. We will show you how to do it gracefully and beautifully. 7. Actively go on visits to potential candidates for husbands After a long (or short) correspondence, the men will start inviting you to face-to-face meetings.

Visits can take place in your city or in the city where the man lives. You can agree to a meeting, and you can give it up if you are not ready for it, or if the man does not suit you. The main thing - do not worry about your safety. We control every date, and also checked all the men from our database.

Often meetings are held in the presence of an interpreter, which additionally guarantees your safety and the preservation of your reputation. All the meetings are financed by the man who invites you. Even if the meeting will take place in another country. Questions with the preparation of documents for the trip we undertake.

8. Choose a husband who will choose you as his wife Attending meetings, dealing with men, you certainly will choose one of them. And he, most likely, will choose you. It's only in fairy tales.

He and She fell in love with each other at first sight, got married and lived happily ever after. In real life, a happy marriage is an attentive choice of a partner, lengthy courtship and a lot of doubts from both sides. And only when all doubts are dispersed, he will make you an offer. And you, if you want, answer it with consent.

9. To play a wedding By the old good tradition, you can entrust us with the organization of the wedding. After all, who else to charge such a responsible business, how not to Cupids who connected you with a man of dreams? But, if you want, you can invite other organizers.

The main thing is that you get married! For the best man in the world. And nothing else matters. 10.

Thank Lucky Marrige Agency for a well-arranged personal life! We are always happy for every bride. And we are very pleased to receive written feedback and thanks from happy wives who have just returned from a wedding trip. Your gratitude is another reason to be happy for you, and also to remind yourself that we have once again done a good deed - made two people happy!

" The above is directly from their website. A friend from work was telling me about his plans to take a tour trip to the Ukraine. I (being a friend) did some digging around and found many websites like this one. Which at first made me think that it might be legit, to some degree.

I am sure you might have heard a news a story or two about the guy who met a girl on Match.com. Arranged a date only to be met by a couple of other guys and was robed of the wallet, phone and other valuables. There are scammers everywhere. But anyways, I might have figured out what is really going on: To all the guys who say the email system is a scam.

You are right to a degree. The girls (as stated above) are on the marriage sites for free. All photosvideossometimes clotheshairmakeup are all free. The prices for the email service and trip packages pays for all of this and agency staff salaries but some of it does go to some of the girls.

Sorry to tell you all this but it is true. Google work.ua under the beauty section you will find an ads for girls to use the service and to have you use the email service. The more popular they are the more money they make. I do believe some girls are there to find a husband.

But all girls are the same everywhere. THEY ALL WANT THE SAME THINGS! Its not like what their descriptions always say. Just being a good guy won't cut it.

Think of it like this: if you don't have the things (high paying career, multi-million dollar house, nice cars, ability to take at least 2 exotic vacations per year and some level of attractiveness) to attract them where you live, you won't attract them elsewhere. You are looking for a gold digger. The best example of one is Anna Nicole Smith. Don't get me wrong, if I was that guy I would do the same thing.

Now the part part you want to hear (maybe). If you are looking for a 20+ years younger girl with model like looks and figure, you better have the "THINGS" that are needed to support that type of wife. Now if you are upper middle class, looking for a woman closer to your own age (5 to 10 year difference) and one or two levels higher of attractiveness; I am sure you could find her. But there will be some work to *** her out of all the career daters and girls hoping to be the next Anna Nicole.

If you are middle middle class I would suggest find a wife in the Philippines. You might think China or CentralSouth America but I think you would have the same "luck" as in the Ukraine. The Philippines has a long history of girls marrying GIs when there was a base there. Lastly if you are working poor.

I am sorry. You are the nice guys the girls always write about. But NO girl is going to leave her country, friends and family to be with you. Sorry to be blunt.

Besides you have to be financially responsible for the girl to get a K1 visa. JUST try to use the dating sites here in the USA to find a woman on your economical and attractiveness level. Once again not being mean. But girls are the same all over the world.

If you don't have the "THINGS" to attract women at home... About seeing the same girl on multiple marriage agencies (ie: A Foreign Affair, 1russainbrides, mypartnerforever, etc.), the above agency (andor others) first signed her up and gave her profile to others to give her better exposure. To get more men to email her. My tip to all of you trying to find love, don't give up.

Be safe. And be realistic. If you don't have the "THINGS" here, you won't have the "THINGS" there neither. If the girl has been on the site for along time, the girl your emailing might be an Ukrainian agency staff member just taking your money for email service.

Skype if the site allows it. I wouldn't go on a trip if I wasn't sure the girl or girls were going to be there or even real. Remember, no Skype = scam. There are other agencies that allow it.

Just find one that YOU feel comfortable with. P.S. To the guy who talked about the descriptions being copied and pasted. Googling the descriptions was a great tip.

I tried it randomly and find one copied and pasted from a girl on state side dating site, I passed that tip to my friend. P.P.S. From reading the 10 things listed above, I now understand why a lot of girls talk about psychology in their descriptions or place it in the hobby list. Also all the talk about fairy tales and princes.

Also I believe it's the interpreter (of dishonest Ukraine agencies) who tells the girl to "ring up" the diner bill and to go shopping if she doesn't like you. A way of getting something out of nothing. P.P.P.S.

If the above statement doesn't make sense in some areas, blame Google. Chrome translated it.

Email experience is a fraud

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I haven't been on a tour, so I can't speak to that. And if you want to read about a site that worked well for me, skip to the bottom.

I signed up online for A Foreign Affair about a month ago. I sent initial messages to several very attractive women, and the response rate was nearly 100%. I've never seen that on any other site. All of the responses were very positive, asked lots of questions, and I exchanged up to seven emails with six different women.

Each time you open an email, it costs $9.99 ($7.49 for Platinum members). Each time you send an email, same deal. Most of the women attached up to five different photos. Cost to open each photo: $3.50.

Cost to send a photo, $3.50. I spent $360 in two weeks doing this. The site has a rule that no personal contact information can be exchanged until the woman goes to the nearest office of A Foreign Affair and signs your IMBRA disclosure. In theory, it's to protect the women, but in reality, it's to protect the company's profits, which have to be astronomical.

I politely requested of each of the six women that she sign my IMBRA form and send me her contact information. Not one has complied, but they keep sending me emails on the AFA site. I pointed out to each of them that, for all I know, the person writing to me could be a fat bald guy in a warehouse somewhere. Any reference in an email to SKYPE or Viber or to an email address is automatically deleted and replaced with X's.

But even when I got around this by disguising my information, none of the women contacted me, yet they continued to express interest via AFA in having a relationship and eventually meeting me. So the question is why, and I don't know the answer. Are the women getting a percentage of every dollar they squeeze out of lonely men? Probably.

Is there a target they have to hit before giving out their information? Maybe. Or are they just told that they won't be able to use the site or attend "socials" once they've given out their contact info? Dunno.

Whatever the reason, I have no indication that using the email services of AFA will result in anything more than fat profits for the company. Given the questionable ethics of the email service, I'm inclined to believe the assertions elsewhere on this board that many of the women at the "socials" are hired guns, too. Bottom line: The way AFA keeps so many beautiful women on its site is by not letting any of them off it. If you don't mind paying through the nose for the privilege, you can have the fantasy that some of them like you.

Russian Cupid: Eighteen months ago, I signed up for Russian Cupid and met several very attractive, 40-something women online. We talked on Skype (important to verify who you're talking to) and exchanged many emails over a couple of months. I arranged to meet four women on a monthlong trip to Russia, and it went very well with three. They were each attractive, intelligent, friendly, open and honest with me.

One of the three I decided not to pursue because her English was minimal. Another was preoccupied with her ailing mother after my visit, so I had to let her go. But I went back in December(!) to visit the third, and I paid for her to visit me in the U.S. on a tourist visa the following spring.

I very seriously considered asking her to marry me. Ultimately, I decided that she wasn't the one, sadly. There were no red flags, but I felt that we ultimately didn't have enough in common.

Anyway, I would use Russian Cupid again. I think the cost was about $30 a month and it was well worth it.

Yes and she turned out to be Russian Organized Crime and tried to steal everything including my house and then just got worse. And NJ supports organized crime and terror especially the really bad areas across from the cities including Bergen County and Camden County.

Loveme.com and the associate web site sharing the same email system is a total fraud, ask a Skype with video and the girls deseapear.

Some of the girls have been 30 years old since 10 years. You are free to have your money ripped off !

All Letters were blue.

I decided to try this site for 2 months and what a mistake that was.

It states when you receive a blue letter it is the agency writing you for the girls on the site and if you receive a green it is the girl. Once you post your profile it is game on with the agencies your luck chum in the water and the great white Russian sharks move in for the kill.

Get out while you can because your getting ready to get chewed up and spit out.

I contact the office and they pretty much said our sharks are really good are they not. I had to call my bank who reverse all the charges and got my money back please do the same it you were rip off by this site AFA.

I agree with what was said above --- the blue means it's a new person who you have not written to...so then it's 5.95, discounted. The green is once you've written to them...and they write back...then they're green.

A Foriegn Affair review: What AFA doesn't tell you

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Prior to my November trip to Costa Rica, I enthusiastically corresponded with several lovely women expecting to me them once there. Yes, the $9.95 e-mails, both going and coming, were a little steep, but I understood the company's service deserves to be compensated.

Once I arrived, I sent a few more $10 e-mails to let a few would-be dates know so. My new phone number was XX'd out, so with another $10 I asked a would-be date if she knew what to do so we could make direct contact. She produced AFA's San Jose telephone number. The manager brusquely told me that it was easy, just pay $125 for my registration in their office, then $75 for each woman's phone number I wanted to acquire.

I went back to the website and found no such information. Ah, that left me in a pickle; invested some money to get to Costa Rica, and needing to cough up unbudgeted hundreds more if I wanted to meet these nice locals. It ended being not a financial decision, but one of principle; I wasn't going to send any more money the way of this unscrupulous company. I even tracked down the AFA office in San Jose, and told Andrea there my predicament.

She was sympathetic, but assured me that she wasn't there to provide customer service and that I'd have to call AFA Arizona office (international rates) to discuss. Two e-mailed customer service requests, and two customer service survey responses to AFA have gone unreplied.

Buyer beware. DM

It is well known that the girls do not write the letters and the letter writing is not as it is represented to be.. I have met girls I had written to who never heard of me.

Listen to the you-tube message of Mark Edwards on letters.

I also have printed copies of letters to me with another guys names in a area they forgot to change the name.

I like the company but totally disagree with their business practice of taking money from guys on the premise that the girls are writing the letters. Stay away from the letter writing.

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-1425491

I don't agree with your comments --- so far...I have opted for Platinum membership...that makes the letters 25% cheaper. I personally have told the women I've written to, I don't buy pictures...and I've literally had hours and hours of help from the crew in Arizona...sorting out what is said, and what it means...and then knowing if the woman knows English enough that she's writing her own letters.

But, there are misunderstandings --- recently, I upgraded to the executive package...more money, but overall roughly the same amount, and then, you're skyping, instead of call the women...so you can literally see them...and that's pretty nice.

Overall, I'm very impressed. Not once a billing error, not once a virus, not once any kind of problem...very up front...they always answer the phone when I've called...and I really feel the organization is straight as arrow!!

Site employs women to write letters

This site is a scam used to generate income for the business. Sure there are real women there wanting to meet a man and developed a frienship that will lead to marriage, but beware.. Many letters are set up to keep you paying. I believe that they also employ women to write to you. I found one woman just by chance who had written me many times and I had written her. When I confronted her with her letters she did not want to speak to me again. This site is definitely a scam. They employed this woman to write to many men. They paid her.

Probably not even getting the women to write the letters. I mean anyone could be writing them. Men could be writing them.

Guest

Actually, at every seminar (3) I have attended, the A Foreign Affair Staff including the CEO tells you not to write letters. What is the point?

Tell a pretty woman she is pretty? Get a grip... she knows.

Go on a tour and actually meet the women that interest you.

Don't write and build your Virtual Fantasy. Meet for real and you will know withing 3-5 minutes if there is any "Chemistry." I did exactly that and have been married for over three years now.

Guest

First of all. Don't listen to anyone who hasn't gone on a tour or even been to Ukraine.

They just don't know anything.

Are the girls real? Ah...yes...they are very very real. Are some of them after money? Of course.

But not all.

Are they interested in moving to the backwoods of Montana with your fat ***. No. They know their value.

Bottom line.

get in shape. Dress to kill. Get your finances together. And Go!

You will never regret not going. And if you knew what you were missing you would be on a plane tomorrow!

Guest

Then why does the site tell you to not write letters, just to go on the tour instead???

DISCLAIMER This service is intended for entertainment purposes only. So the women are real, their pics areal but any desire to leave a paradise for the US is just not real. I was looking the Philippines, these are very metropolitan cities and they are not living the worst lives imaginable. Quite the opposite. The cost of living is low and the islands are beautiful the bonds of family there are nothing like the nuclear families we have here. . The truth is these are paid actors. I actually found my love interest online on both LinkedIn and on Face Book. Once I contacted my love interest via social media that was it. I no longer receive letters. Is it possible that AFA hijacked this young ladies profile and posed as her and she has no idea who I am? Don't know. Are there other reasons why someone I wrote to daily didn't want to communicate with me any longer after finding out, I am real? I don't know but you'll figure it out.

Likely a very well-crafted scam

I have an intuition that the ladies on these sites are groomed to generate

money for the company, particularly the hottest, youngest ones.

Consider: the company gets $10 per letter from the men who write to their thousands of international women (I'm quite sure the women pay nothing to write and open letters), and also for the men to open their responses. I reckon millions of dollars have been generated this way,(consider the power of solicitous & flirtatious behavior by exotic, faraway prospects on lonely, disgruntled, love-and-sex-starved men) and knowing capitalism as I do, it wouldn't be a stretch at all to imagine the company advising the ladies on how to draw out a correspondence, or multiple ones, the better to keep those dollars rolling in.

I suspect the ladies are paid a "cut" of the money that they generate, and so you have 20-something, drop-dead-gorgeous women all over the globe squeezing money from older guys with hints and insinuations of pleasure and happiness to come. Just a suspicion.

They pay women a commission to write letters. The women are real, you can even go meet them, but they, at least some of them, are just paid actors. The more men that write to them, the more income tgey make. Some girls will even make multiple orofiles to generate more letters/income. Have a look at these photos.

My experience

I wrote to a woman in Ukraine for more than 4 months, then I took the "tour" and met up with her while there. I had told her I was coming to see her.

To make a long story short, all went well,a year later I brought her and her 11 year old daughter to the U.S. under the fiance visa program. Well it was only after we married that she told me the truth.She had not even heard of me until i said I was coming to see her, then the agency in Mariupol went to her and convinced her to see me and go out with me. It had been someone in the agency who had been writing me.

Yes it can get costly, so my advice is to immediately get her phone number and email address, and don't take any excuses . Its too easy to get focused on one, when there are millions of fish in the ocean . This is not the only agency that I have encountered fraud, but it seems to be from her agency each time and not from U.S.

I hope this will help someone. Sincerely Bill

Odessa!!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

First of all..DONT listen to anyone who hasnt been on a tour. Its like reviewing a car without even seeing it in person let alone test driving it.

Ok. Now my experience. Did u know that only 3 in 100 men who write letters actually go! Are the girls real?are they out for money?is ukraine safe?

I had been writing letters on a differnt site for years.anastasiatedate.com.waste of time. Every single girl i asked ti meet on this site was real. They all showed up for a date. Your value in ukraine is sky high provided your not overweight.

So get in shape before u go. There are women there who are out for your wallet. Hard to believe. Moving on...ukraine especially odessa is super cheap.

Your dollar goes a long way. Odessa is magic in the summer.think prague. Afa was first class. The social was the most amazing nite of my life...im going back for 2 months.

If u are even cinsidering going.. just man up and go....you will owe me one.

AFA tells you Do Not Write Letters

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
A Foreign Affair - AFA tells you Do Not Write Letters
A Foreign Affair - AFA tells you Do Not Write Letters - Image 2

Okay, I have seen reviews and complaints that state the Foreign Affair or Loveme.com site is a scam... I have been to the AFA seminars and at every one they tell you "Do Not Write Letters" they recommend that you only write when your are scheduled to visit the woman that interest you and you have a airplane ticket in hand... they (AFA)...also tell you that if the woman you are writing has not asked you "When are you coming to see me???" ... by the third letter that is a clue. Unfortunately overseas offices are not always well managed and letter writing is a way to generate revenue.

I have used the site and written letters to offices in China and the Cebu Office in the Philippines. I did have issues with the letters to China the responses were not even semi related to my letter or the questions I asked. A Issue? No not an issue, one phone call to the Phoenix Office and I was refunded for the letters in question. Virtual email is email and there is no guarantee that your email will be seen and will likely end up in the ladies junk mail. I never received any answer from any virtual email. None of this makes this site a scam.

I wrote letters to two woman in Cebu and both responded with answers to questions asked and they also asked their own. I attended the Cebu Social in August 2014 and met both ladies that I was writing for a short 5 weeks before I arrived for the tour. One of those ladies is now my wife. AFA is legitimate company and the tour where you actually meet the women are also legit. Yes some women and their profiles have been on the site out of the overseas office sometimes for years...not all women are available all the time, some have lost interest, some are just not available that date and time as they have work and families. You will never establish a real relationship through the mail. Until you actually physically meet, it is all a fantasy and wishful thinking.

You say the people at the Foreign Affair company TELL men NOT to write to women until the man has the airline ticket in his hand. So he can visit the woman who is writing.

I have no reason to doubt what you say..... HOWEVER. WHO IS MAKING THE MONEY FROM WOMEN WHO ARE WRITING. The Foreign Affair Website?

Or the woman. Since you pay the Foreign Affair Website.. the answer is obvious that the website is a scam.

What woman is going to write to a man forever without compensation of some type?

Actually, the potential Scam or danger of it, is when the AFA overseas office (who is making the money to translate, deliver and respond to the letter... which is not done for free in any country) just respond to letters and do not deliver them to the women.

If you are receiving the "Love you Long Time!" responses from someone you are trying to get to know, that is a red flag! Let AFA Phoenix know they will resolve the problem. I have been in the Cebu office when the girls that respond to letters have to travel 2-3 hours out to the remote province to deliver a letter and get a response. Then the same trip back to the office to send the guy a response.

Some in Philippines have no Face Book, no Wi-Fi, no computers or IPhone's. The cost and monies do not go to the ladies you are writing... the affiliate offices are mostly honest people trying to help men and women meet and are legit. Now where money is concerned, some get greedy and into trouble.

I believe Office managers have been replaced because of it. If you write someone and they are not asking by letter two or three, "When are you coming to see me?" stop writing. My advice to anyone using AFA, is go on a tour, and actually meet someone. Way too many men spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, every month writing letters to women they will never see in person.

Save to money and go on the tour, even if only to have a great vacation.

But that is just my advice and opinion. All the best to you Anonymous

Great experience

I met two women on Love Me.com and the first one was excited up until she actually came to the states. She was returned to the Philippines after a few weeks. The second woman was the nicest woman I have ever met and she has been my wife for over five years. I too attended AFA's Socials on one trip over but did not find the one I married until later and went to meet her and her family at Christmas, asked her to marry me then spent nearly nine long months before I brought her to the States and Married her. One has to be serious and persistent in writing and then you need to go and meet the lady, Most American men are not serious and won't do what it takes to meet these women. On line/overseas dating is expensive but if you find the right one it is more than worth it. Also, like anywhere else you have to get to know the person as in any culture you will find women who are not what they seem but if you are observant you will know when you have found the right one.
