How to Find an International or Russian Wife Thousands of Miles Away

Merin — Tue, 27 May 2008 23:30:36 +0000

International or Russian dating is one of the smartest ways of finding a wife abroad. For many years this search was limited to offline methods, but in the past few years, international and Russian dating has gone online. Online dating is cheaper and faster. While there are many international and Russian mail-order bride websites, pen-pal websites and so on, it is the online dating websites that make the most sense, as they let you interact directly with international or Russian women.

We at Loversplanet.com find that searching for a wife thousands of miles away is not always easy. Which is why we are always here to help you find such a wife.

Here are a few ways in which a Western man can set out to find an international or Russian wife thousands of miles away:

Finding an International or Russian Wife through a Marriage Agency

There are various marriage agencies that specialize in finding wives for Western men who are searching for an international or Russian wife.

But the limitation with such agencies is that you have to conduct all your dealings with them in the middle, which means you spend more money and have less control over how things pan out.

Finding an International or Russian Wife through a Pen-pal Agency

There are many pen-pal agencies which let you write to an international or Russian woman, and then you can take the relationship further using the pen-pal service’s help with translation and other matters.

This has similar drawbacks as with the marriage agencies, because you are seldom directly in contact with your international or Russian woman.

Finding an International or Russian Wife through a Dating Website

The best idea to find an international or Russian wife is to go through a dating website. We at Loversplanet.com run a dating website which has a database of eligible and genuine women who would like to marry a foreign man for love.

Almost all these women have a degree of English skills so direct communication with them is possible through emails and chat.

Finding Love Through International or Russian Dating

Merin — Mon, 26 May 2008 07:13:14 +0000

Russian dating, or for that matter, international dating of any kind has its advantages as well as disadvantages. A lot of men find themselves discouraged due to the the challenges of international dating, and linger in search of an ideal woman from their own country. But there is no need for despair. Here are a few of the concerns examined, and then the very real benefits of Russian dating or international dating listed out.

Let us first discuss a few of the perceived problems:

Russian Dating or Dating Internationally Means Traveling Long Distances

Many Western men think that it is too much to have to travel long distances to meet your future bride. But the expense and trouble will be worth your while when you meet an ideal woman. The best way of looking at it is as a wise investment in a lifetime of happiness.

Communication Problems with International or Russian Women

Many Western men do not seek dates outside their country because they are put off by the language barrier. What they need to realize is that a lot of international and Russian women now speak English. It is also easy and powerfully motivating to learn a new language to be able to speak with a partner.

Visa and Citizenship Problems with International or Russian Women

While most Western men are not too happy with the paperwork involved in marrying a Russian woman, the fact is that there are a lot of agencies which specialize in helping with just such cases. Visa and citizenship issues are easily resolved if love ties you to an international or Russian woman.

The major reasons why Western men should go for International or Russian dating are:

International or Russian Women are Beautiful and Accommodating

A difference in culture with the West keeps Russian women more beautiful and better groomed. A natural inclination towards making a family make them extremely nurturing wives.

International or Russian Women Offer More Choice

The biggest reason for you to go for international or Russian dating is that your dating pool becomes much larger when you go international. You can really choose and pick on your selection of a suitable life partner, because of the wider options available.

At Loversplanet.com we understand and emphasize the value of international or Russian dating. It is an option that a lot of Western men tend to ignore because they are unaware of how beautiful and effective an international or Russian dating experience can be.

Planning Your Wedding with a Russian Bride

Merin — Wed, 21 May 2008 03:01:10 +0000

If you have won the affections of a Russian bride, you are a lucky man indeed, because Russian brides make some of the most beautiful, loving, and loyal wives in the world. But having decided to get married, it is important to plan the marriage in advance so everything goes well with your wedding with the Russian bride.

Here are a few pointers that would help you plan your wedding with your Russian bride:

To Decide the Venue of Your Wedding with a Russian Bride

Weddings in Russia are very different from those in the West, so it is important that you decide whether you would have a wedding in Russia or in the West.

Most foreign men prefer to bring their Russian brides as fiancees into their own countries, and then marry them within a few months. This gives them time to decide whether the Russian bride they have found is someone that they would really like to spend their lives with.

In the United States this is done with the K-1 visa, according to which your Russian bride can stay with you for up to three months. By this time you should decide to get married if she is to stay further.

To Plan the Day of Your Wedding with a Russian Bride

A Russian wedding is all about having fun, lots of good food and getting drunk. Western weddings may appear staid in comparison.

If you plan to marry your Russian bride in the West, ensure she has been to at least one Western wedding, so she knows what it involves.

If you decide on a Western wedding, the preparations are much the same as any other wedding. If, however, you decide on a Russian wedding, ensure that you learn all the customs and traditions involved in the two-day Russian wedding ceremony.

To Plan the Formalities of Your Wedding with a Russian Bride

If you are getting married in Russia, you need to register the marriage with one month’s notice at ZAGS, the department of registration of civil statuses, which formally registers marriages.

If you decide to get married in your own country, you have to seek a fiance visa for your Russian bride, and then show evidence of your married status within a stipulated period.

Sign up on Loversplanet.com to find yourself a lovely Russian bride. Once you have found the Russian bride you intend to marry, plan your wedding with her in order to create sweet memories for a lifetime.

Dating in Russia vs Dating in NY

Merin — Sun, 18 May 2008 05:45:18 +0000

Dating Russian girls is different from dating girls in New York. It is certainly more challenging, but it often turns out to be more rewarding. Russian girls come from a different culture and a different continent, dating them successfully is possible only through specialized dating websites like Loversplanet.com. Here are a few pointers on how Russian dating can be different from dating in New York:

Russian Girls Come from a Different Dating Culture

Russian girls dating foreign men date for marriage alone. For them, marriage and making a family is one of the most important milestones in their lives. Girls from New York are happy to settle for relationships other than marriage.

Russian girls are usually not fluent in English, and this makes communication with them somewhat more complicated than with American girls.

A Russian girl would expect a man to pick up the tab, open doors, and be generally chivalrous: for them, dating is a formal affair. American women would rather go dutch, and take dating more casually than their Russian counterparts.

There Aren’t Many Russian Girls in New York

This might seem obvious, but the greatest difference in dating Russian girls is that you will mostly meet them online. Though online dating is popular in New York, off-line dating is still available as an option.

To meet a Russian girl, traveling to Russia is expected at some point of time in the relationship. This fact must be remembered when you begin to interact with a Russian girl.

Russian Girls are Different from American Girls

Russian girls know how to balance their careers with their family lives, unlike the often extremely career oriented girls from New York. This makes Russian girls better wives for a happy and fulfilling family life.

Russian girls take meticulous care of their appearance, even as they get married and create a family. Unlike American girls who would often sacrifice looks for comfort, Russian girls are always groomed and made up, and keep their youth longer.

When looked at in the long run, dating Russian girls can be an insightful decision. Even though they require immediate investment in terms of time and dedication, dating and marrying a Russian girl rather an American girl from New York can be a fulfilling experience. Sign up at Loversplanet.com to date the Russian girl who would make all your dreams of family happiness come true.

Russian Girls Talk: Chat With Russian Girls Online For Free

Merin — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:55:39 +0000

Russian girls are some of the most marriageable in the world, no wonder Western men clamor for their attention. To win a Russian girl’s affection can be quite easy once you communicate with her regularly, and let her understand the genuine nature of your emotions.

To this end, Loversplanet.com holds Online Chat Specials scheduled daily between 10 PM and 11 PM Moscow time (MSK), which is 7 PM – 8 PM in London (GMT) or 2 PM – 3 PM in New York (EST). This is when you see most people using chat. At other times you may notice there are very few people chatting due to various reasons, one of them being the time difference. You can chat with Russian girls as a free member (sing up). You can also see who’s online and invite ladies to chat by clicking “Invite to Chat” button. This will send an instant notification to the lady with your request to visit online chat.

Ways to Win a Russian Girl’s Affections Though Online Chat

A Russian girl would really appreciate it if you can speak a few words of her language. Make an effort to learn Russian in order to please a Russian girl, showing her your dedication and commitment.

On a chat, take it slow and easy. English is not the first language for Russian girls and they would be shy and slow at first, so the more patient you are, the better response you will get.

When starting off on a chat, start at a formal level. Russian girls are used to being shown courtesy.

While on chat, use the easiest of English words. Do not expect even a fluent English-speaking Russian girl to immediately understand your native turns of phrase.

Do not be disappointed if your first few chats are slow. With time, the Russian girl you are chatting with is sure to understand English better and better.

Ways to be Able to Find Russian Girls Online on Chat

At Loversplanet.com, Russian girls are available on chat. But due to language difficulties, many of them prefer to have a slower method of communication in the beginning, like e-mail.

Most Russian girls have limited access to the internet, unless they live in the big cities such as Moscow or St Petersburg. Even with limited Internet access Russian women can use email at work and internet cafes (remember, every woman registered on Lovers Planet has a confirmed personal e-mail address). Chatting online at work may not be very convenient. That’s why it’s a good idea to email the ladies first in order to get to know them better and than contact girls directly through chat.

At Loversplanet.com, we encourage you to write to a Russian girl all about yourself first and try to build towards a level of familiarity with each other before attempting chat sessions.

Once you have exchanged a few e-mails you would be able to understand your girl’s felicity with the English language and general attitude towards life, and prepare for the chat accordingly.

Loversplanet.com is a veritable treasure trove of intelligent and beautiful Russian girls. Sign up today to avail of unlimited chat and e-mail facilities with those women you find attractive. The Russian girl you will most likely be willing to marry is waiting for you at Loversplanet.com. Get started now and chat online with Russian girls.

Make Phone Calls to Communicate: Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Wed, 07 May 2008 08:49:01 +0000

When you check out Russian girls online on Loversplanet.com, very soon you meet a Russian lady who you like well enough to want to get to know better on the telephone. A voice and its nuances tell you much more about your Russian girl than online winks and words.

Here are a few tips that will help you talk to a Russian lady safely, at low cost and in a way that wins her over completely.

Calling Your Russian GIrl : When Your Russian Girl Does not Have a Phone

It is possible that if the Russian girl you are interacting with is from a small city, she may not have regular access to a phone. At Loversplanet.com we ensure that each Russian girl on the site has a phone number and an e-mail address, but this phone number may belong to a friend or a relative.

This is because not everyone in Russia has a cell phone. You have to be patient and fix call times in advance to make sure your Russian girl is available on the number she has given you.

Calling Your Russian Girl : Make Inexpensive Phone Calls

International phone calls to Russia, especially from the United States can become very expensive.

If you are going to regularly call a Russian girl, it would be prudent to get a calling card to Russia, or investigate the option of talking on Skype.

Calling Your Russian Girl : Make Safe Phone Calls

When calling the Russian girl of your dreams it is wise to remember that your own privacy comes first.

Do not give out your phone number or any other personal information during the first phone calls.

Calling Your Russian Girl : Basic Russian Phrases on the Phone

Your Russian girl may not be fluent in English, because English is not part of compulsory school learning. Here are a few basic Russian phrases you can learn to help you:

Hi – Privet [Preeh-veh-t]

How is it going? – Kak dela? [kak deh-lah]

My name is … – Menya zovut … [meh-nya zoh-voot]

What’s your name? – Kak tebya zovut? [kak tyeh-bya zoh-woot]

You’re (very) beautiful – Ti (ochen) krasivaya [tyh (ochen) krah-see-vah-ya]

I like you (very much) – Ti mne (ochen) nravishsya [tyh mneh (ochen) nrah-wee-sh-sya]

Russian Love Phrases II – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:59:54 +0000

Russian brides are some of the most desirable in the world, second to none in terms of their beauty, loyalty and the ability to balance life outside and inside their homes skillfully and with dedication. Winning the affections of Russian brides is all about demonstrating love and long-term commitment towards them, and what better way to do so than learn their language?

We have discussed before how learning Russian in order to be able to greet your Russian bride in her native language is important, as is being able to express your love in Russian. In this post we discuss Russian love phrases in greater detail. The letters in caps in the phrases indicate where the words require stress. Apostrophe indicates a softer consonant like ‘t’ in ‘Tim’.

Russian Love Phrases – Express Your Relationship with a Russian Bride

In Russian, love phrases can have very deep meanings, and it is important to understand when to use the right phrase. A serious phrase spoken too early or formal phrases deep into a relationship could both be counter-productive. Avoid using automated software – it can greatly twist the meaning.

Here are phrases that can be used in a new relationship, when you have just begun to communicate:

It seems to me that we could be happy together : Mnye KAzhetsa, my MOzhim bit’ SCHAStlivy vMYEste

It seems like I have known you for a long time :Mnye KAzhetsa, ya davNo vas ZNAyu.

For a deeper relationship, however, phrases like the following would be appropriate:

I cannot live without you : Ya ne maGOO bez teBYA.

I am thinking of you all the time: Ya vse vremya DOOmayoo o teByE

I am happy to have met you : Ya schastliv chto vstretil teBya.

Russian Phrases to Express Reliability and Support to Your Russian Bride

Marriage to your Russian bride is not only about sentimentality or physical attraction, it also has a lot to do with how you support and reassure your partner.

These phrases should help when you feel the need to reinforce your affections:

Remember, I’m always next to you: POmni, ya vse’gdA ryAdom

I am thinking about you: Ya dUmayu o tebYe

I’ll do everything I can : Ya sdElayu vsyO, chto smogOO

I am waiting impatiently to meet you: Ya s neterpEniyem zdu vstrEchi s tobOy

Russian brides are sensitive women who need to be told they are loved. On the other hand, too much of expression too soon in the relationship may not be taken very well: balance is everything. Don’t be afraid to be too emotional if you are – you can always play the learning game – ask your bride to help you learn her language. As you practice the phrases in chats, e-mails and phone calls, you would be able to find the golden mean. Using the Russian phrases given here will help you start your relationship and demonstrate your commitment and caring.

Russian Love Phrases II – Romancing a Russian Bride

Russian Love Phrases – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:42:23 +0000

Russian brides are not hard to please, most of them marry for love and a better future. But to let the beautiful Russian girl become a suitable Russian bride, direct communication is essential. You must be able to express your emotions and sentiments clearly and without the help of an interpreter or translation software. Here are a few tips on how to make your Russian girl fall in love with you through the beauty of the Russian language.

Importance of Using Russian Love Phrases with Your Russian Bride

Saying your phrases in Russian expresses your love for the Russian bride in a special way. It is possible that she does not understand the nuances of English very well, but with Russian love phrases there would be no doubts about your feelings for her. Don’t worry if you make a mistake – you are not expected to be fluent in Russian. Mistakes can actually be a good subject for a conversation.

Since Russian brides are used to Russian, the love phrases in Russian would sound that much sweeter, especially if told by a foreigner.

If you need to use a translator software to communicate with your Russian girl, it could lead to misunderstanding, because the software mechanically translates the words but not emotions. Automated translation often results in errors that radically change the tone and meaning. Speak English, use a few trusted Russian phrases and then learn from each other. Learning the language and helping each other is always a good conversation starter. You can simply ask “How do you say … in Russian”..

Moreover, the fact that you took the time and effort to learn up the Russian phrases proves your affection and commitment to your Russian bride.

Russian Terms of Endearment, Compliments and Love Phrases

Here are some general terms of endearment you can use if you have been in communication with a Russian girl and feel that a romantic connection has already developed. The capital letters signify the parts of the words that need stress.

My sweet : MIlaya moyA

My Sweet Elena: Milaya Elena

My sweet (tender) : LAskovaya moyA

My sweetheart : LyubImaya moyA

My joy : RAdost’ moyA (apostrophe signifies softer pronunciation like ‘t’ in Tim)

My dear : DorogAya moyA

Here are a few compliments you can pay your Russian bride:

You are so beautiful : Ti takAya krasivaya

You are so tender : Ti takAya nEzhnaya

You are so wonderful : Ti takAya chudEsnaya

You are so glamorous : Ti takAya obayAtel’naya

You are so attractive : Ti takaya privlekatel’naya

Finally, here are a few love phrases for your Russian bride:

Here is my heart. It is full of love: Vot moe serdtse. Ono polno lubvi.

I like you : Ty mne nravishSA

I love you : Ya tebyA lyublyU

Don’t forget about me : Ne zabivai obo mne.

Your First Phone Call to Russia – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 14:39:58 +0000

Online dating with Russian women is the best way to get in touch with genuine women who want to find loving husbands outside the Russian borders. But with all its advantages like seeing profiles, emails and live chat on Loversplanet.com, it is the first call you make to the woman of your interest that makes all the difference. Here are a few pointers on how to use Russian in that first phone call and what to talk about to a Russian woman to make that most important first impression.

Greetings Exchanged on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

On the first exchange, it is best to be slightly formal even though you have been interacting online for quite some time. Unlike United States, formal tone in Russia is very important. Let the Russian woman take the lead when it comes to talking informally. However, you should lead the first conversation otherwise you will find yourself having to deal with uncomfortable silences.

In the West, it is quite common to say “How are you?” as a greeting to a complete stranger. The Russian version, “ Kak pazhiVAYESH?” is only asked to people with whom you are quite familiar, so it is best avoided on a first phone call to a Russian woman. Again, try to be formal – this important because the woman expects you to be serious about your relationship and formality re-enforces your commitment, at least initially.

Phrases and Words on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman

Here’s what in our opinion you could talk about during your first phone call. You can try to speak Russian but don’t expect to be perfectly understood. Relax. Be calm – first conversation is always the hardest but remember – you are in the same boat with the lady, you are in the same team! It’s best to try to speak English and copy with a Russian phrases. Pause. Ask the lady if she understands you and make the conversation a great fun by trying to learn from each other and make sure you understand each other. Even if takes 10 minutes to get past the first sentence – it’s not about quantity, it’s about making your communication comfortable for both of you. Don’t expect your first phone call to be informative. You major goal is to remove any tension and feel that you are comfortable talking to each other despite cultural and language barriers.

To make your conversation comfortable you have to speak slowly. If a lady knows very little English you should use one sentence at a time. Use Skype to make cheap phone calls and not be worried about costs. With Skype it costs approx. $4.00 to talk for an hour! Do not try to provide to much information. Instead, pause after every sentence to remove any pressure from your conversation, ask if the lady understands you. If she doesn’t, try to work it out together. Even if you can’t work something out, make fun out of it and move on.

The most important words of course are: “Da” which is “Yes”, and “Nyet” which means “No”.

The next in importance are “SpaSEEBA”, which is “Thankyou” and “ EezveeNEEte” which mans “Sorry”.

A few phrases which will help you interact better with a Russian woman or the first time (capital letter = stress):

ZdrAstvooyte = How do you do (formal)
DObroye OOtro = Good morning
DObreey VEcher = Good evening
DObriy Den’ = Good afternoon
Eto John = This is John
Ya zvonyU iz AmEriki / Anglii / GermAnii = I am calling from America / England / Germany
Ya plOho govoryU po RUsski = I speak poor Russian
Ya Ochen’ vol-nOO-yus’ = I am very excited

Things to Do on Your First Phone Call to a Russian Woman (summary)

Speak slowly.

Do not get nervous. Create a relaxing environment around you, avoid distractions like television.

Fix a time which is mutually convenient. Use skype to keep your costs low.

Try and speak at least a few words of Russian. Pause after each sentence. Ask if the lady understands you.
Make your conversation comfortable – play the learning game: “How do you say … in Russian”

A Russian woman would really appreciate the effort you put into your first phone call by learning Russian phrases and words. If there is something either of you don’t understand – it’s normal. You can say “neh vazhno” which means it’s not important. “Vazno chto est’ vee eeh ya” – it’s important there are you and I.

Saying Hello in Russian – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:02:48 +0000

Marrying a Russian woman is very easy if the communication between you and your Russian bride is excellent. It helps if your bride speaks English, but things become much smoother with her and her family if you can speak a few words of basic Russian. Love can bloom between the first Hello and Goodbye, and here’s some help for you to say these and other such basic words in Russian.

Being Formal or Informal with Your Russian Bride

Unlike in English, Russian has different words for the same greetings.

One is formal, for use between those meeting for the first time, or when meeting people more elder or respectable.

The other is informal, for use between friends, or people who already know each other.

Saying Hello and Goodbye to Your Russian Bride

The formal Hello in Russian is ZDRAST-uy-te, whereas the informal one is ZDRAST-uy. To simply say Hi, you say pri-VYET.

The formal Goodbye in Russian is da svi-DA-ni-ya, the informal Goodbye or Bye is pa-KA.

The capital letters given in the phonetic Russian here are for emphasis, these are spoken in a louder tone. For example, in da svi-DA-ni-ya, the emphasis is only on the “DA”, and the rest is spoken without emphasis.

Saying Good Morning and Good Night to Your Russian Bride

Once you have memorized Hello and Goodbye in Russian, it is time to move on to other phrases of greeting, like Good Morning, or DO -bra-ye OO-tra.

To wish a Russian woman Good Evening, say DO-briy VYE-chir!

To bid Good night, say DO-broy NO-chi!

To wish your Russian bride a Good day, say DO-briy DYEN’!

It gets easier with practice, so try and repeat these phrases at every opportunity of interacting with a Russian woman.

Saying “Nice to Meet You” and “See You Soon” to Your Russian Bride

Being able to use polite phrases like “Nice to meet you” or rat paz-na-KO-mit’-sa would be great to make a good first impression on your Russian bride.

The alternative is “Very pleased to meet you” or O-chin’ pri-YAT-na.

“See you soon” in Russian is da SKO-ra-va.

It is important that you make every effort to learn your Russian bride’s language, because it is only in this way that you can forge a strong relationship.

When Easter is Celebrated by Russian Women

Merin — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:10:15 +0000

Russian women love their customs and traditions, especially when it comes to their religion and holidays. Easter is one of the major holidays in Russia, which young Russian women celebrate with their family and friends.

They would love you more if you understood their culture and respected their traditions. Here are a few pointers which would help you do just that.

Dates of Easter Celebrated by Russian Women

Easter in Russia is not celebrated at the same time as in the West, because the Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar, which usually runs two weeks behind the Gregorian calendar followed by Western Christian religion.

For Russian women, the Easter in 2008 comes on April the 27th, much later than the Easter celebrated in the Western world.

Easter Gifts and Greetings for Russian Women

Gift-giving is one of the favorite traditions of Russia, and this is even more so during Easter. Simple gifts like books, cakes and Easter eggs will be ideal for Russian women and their families.

The traditional greeting is “Hris-tos Vosk-res!” or “Christ has risen!”, and the customary reply, is “Vo isti-nu Vosk-res!” or “Truly He has risen!”. This is accompanied by three kisses alternating on the cheeks.

Russian Women and Easter Cooking

Easter is a communal festival, and cooking and feasting forms a large part of the general celebration. The traditional dishes are Pas-ha, a special triangular cheesecake with nuts, fruits and flavorings, and Kulich, the cylindrical Easter bread containing candied fruit, almonds and raisins.

Russian women prepare and cook for days in preparation of the festival, and the traditional Easter family breakfast is usually overflowing with delicacies.

Easter Customs Followed by Russian Women

Russian women spend the night before Easter at the Church, where they take the food to be blessed. They light a candle during the service which is brought home to mark the door with a holy cross. The home itself is thoroughly aired and cleaned.

At the breakfast table, the Easter egg is broken and shared between the members of the family. This is an Easter egg dyed red by boiling it with onion peels, to signify the sacrifice and blood of Christ. Other artificial colors may also be used.

Russian women paint the red-dyed Easter eggs with various designs, though nowadays beautifully painted Easter eggs are usually bought from shops.

Russian women are modern yet traditional. They enjoy celebrating customary Easter, and yet like spending time at nightclubs and parties. To find such a complete, well-balanced, and gorgeous Russian woman, sign up at Loversplanet.com before this Russian Easter.

What to Look for in Your Russian Brides Agency

Merin — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:00:34 +0000

If you are a Western man searching for a Russian bride, your search might begin and end with finding a reliable Russian brides agency. There are a few things to look out for when deciding on choosing the agencies that are right for you: here are some tips to help you along.

Russian Brides Agency: General or Specific?

A marriage agency that deals specifically with Russian brides would be more useful, because their energies are more concentrated on Russia, and they possibly have more local contacts.

A specifically Russian agency based in Russia or Ukraine may seem like a good idea, because of the supposed authenticity. But these are limited by their lack of ability to communicate to the West: they won’t be useful if you don’t speak Russian. They must have a branch in the West, and an English-speaking point of contact.

Which is Better: a Small Russian Brides Agency or a Big One?

Smaller Russian brides agencies with free service may be scam, because they might just be making their money selling fake addresses of women on their sites.

But if you can find one which is small but genuine, you can access fresh women who may not have been approached before. The website may have interviewed all applicants in person, because they’re from its base town, but the database is smaller. You’ve to be patient with these women because their grasp of English is poor.

A bigger site, on the other hand, has authenticity on its side. But due to its larger scope of operations, there may be a lot of competition for the same women, and profiles may not be updated regularly. There will be a large database however, and women on these sites will have better English.

How to Avoid a Scam Russian Brides Agency
A genuine website will have the following :

A proper contact of the agency owner, including a telephone number: You should be able to talk to a responsible person at the other end.

An ability to accept credit cards: This is the mark of a genuine site, because credit card payments come with added answerability.

Regularly updated unique and personalized bride profiles, not serialized or automated.

An arrangement for direct contact with the bride: Sites which do not provide for this prior to an actual meeting should be avoided.

It will not be listed on any of the Russian Brides scam lists.

If hunting for the right Russian brides agency sounds like too much, join our dating website Loversplanet.com, and get to meet Russian girls online. Connect with beautiful girls from Russia, and find the one who would be your perfect Russian bride!

Are Mail Order Brides from Ukraine Overrated?

Merin — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 23:05:31 +0000

Ukraine mail order brides are renowned the world over for their love of the home and hearth, staggering beauty, quiet strength, gentleness and compassion. But to some Western men, their charm is overrated. Here are the reasons why, and the ways to look beyond.

Ukraine Mail Order Brides from the Cities

Some of the Ukraine mail order brides are accused of being mercenary, and not without reason. Ukraine women from the big cities like Kiev, or Kyivlyankas, are a little over-impressed by the consumerism and glamor of Western lifestyle. They seek to spend their man’s money on branded items. They feel that those women who do not do so are lokushkas, the women who have fallen behind.

But with careful searching, it is possible to find a genuine Ukranian woman with traditional family values, who is beautiful but does not look upon her assets as tools to leverage money out of a man.

Ukraine Mail Order Brides Age Group

Younger Ukraine women within the age group of 18-24 are more ambitious, they are go-getters, and some of them might want to marry a Western man purely in order to get out of the country. Education and career is primary for them.

But there is hope, because the Ukraine women in their late twenties and thirties have different priorities. Having achieved a particular state of education and career, they look forward to fulfilling the cultural expectations from a woman in Ukraine: to marry and raise a family. These women make ideal wives for Western men, and understand the importance of work-life balance.

Ukraine Mail Order Brides and Their Pasts

Ukraine women sometimes lie about their pasts in order to get more attention, or even money. To save yourself from being cheated, you can hire a detective agency to investigate their pasts and give you a true picture.

As a rule never send money to any mail order bride from Ukraine or anywhere else, because in this way you can never be scammed.

Ukraine Mail Order Brides from Different Agencies

When searching for a bride from Ukraine, it is usual to go through marriage agencies. But here, you would do well to remember that the bigger agencies do better at screening the candidates on their list, and they are unlikely to be scams.

Another good idea is to sign up for a website like Loversplanet.com, because here we give you the possibility of corresponding with a Ukraine woman before venturing to date her. You will never be cheated or disappointed.

Sign up at Loversplanet.com today to discover genuine, beautiful, and worthwhile Ukraine women, who are certainly not overrated.

Why are Mail Order Brides Great for You

Merin — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:06:42 +0000

The term “Mail Order Brides” is often used in a derogatory sense, as if such brides are women who want to get out of the poverty of their situation and would marry just about anybody able to pay for them. While this may be true in isolated cases, most mail order brides do not fall into this category, and here’s why.

To understand why mail order brides can be great for you, you need to consider the following factors:

History of Mail Order Brides and How Things have Changed

The concept of mail order brides evolved in the 18th and 19th centuries, when men in the United States were suffering a severe shortage of women willing to migrate to the new land in order to settle with them.

Women who were brave enough enlisted themselves with mail order bride agencies. Their pictures were sent in catalogs to potential husbands, who chose them on the basis of their pictures, and the women subsequently went over to get married.

In a sea change from those times, mail order brides today have their pictures easily accessible on the internet, and a small fee is charged by the agency for the address and contact of the potential bride so you can correspond with her and find out if she really is suitable.

Reasons Why You and Your Mail Order Bride Are Looking For Each Other

A woman in a foreign country might be looking for a husband abroad for a number of reasons. While a few of them are related to aspirations of a better lifestyle, most are looking for the sort of man they cannot find in their own country in terms of affection and attitude.

In a mail order bride, you might be looking for a woman not necessarily with more external beauty, though that counts. You might be looking for a lady with more patience, and interest in home making.

Potential of Finding Mrs. Right while Meeting Mail Order Brides

In most cases, you can have a prolonged correspondence with your intended bride through a marriage agency or a dating website like Loversplanet.com, where you can see thousands of profiles of gorgeous women.

After this correspondence, you will get to meet her in her country and find out what she is really like in person.

Dating a mail order bride is just like dating someone from your own country, you only have to patiently go the distance to find yourself your dream wife.

Dating Beautiful Russian Girls Made Simple

Merin — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:10:28 +0000

When it comes to dating Russian girls, Western men are often unsure of the ways and means to successfully win the heart of their dream women. Differences in culture and other factors mean that a Westerner needs to understand the intricacies of Russian life in general, and romantic etiquette in particular, before being successful with Russian women.

Here are a few pointers for a Western man looking to successfully date a Russian girl:

Typical Russian Psyche to Keep in Mind While Dating Russian Girls

For a Western man, it is usual to talk about his wealth and professional success in order to impress a lady. While this might find success with his countrywomen, the tactic could backfire in Russia, where a beautiful woman looking for love could be less than impressed with men with only money and little else to recommend them.

Russian women like their men to be well-kept and well-groomed, so any Western man trying to court a Russian woman must be sure to present himself smartly at all times.

Cultural Aspects to be Kept in Mind While Dating Russian Girls

Russian girls like to be presented with flowers and gifts from their dates because in their culture it is a sign of love. Not only is it customary to give gifts and flowers on holidays like Women’s Day, Valentine’s Day or Christmas, but also as a spontaneous gesture of affection. It is also considered thoughtful to send flowers to your date’s mother on special occasions.

A language barrier can be a big stumbling block between an international dating couple. A Western man can overcome this by trying to learn the Russian language. This would also immediately endear you to your date.

Pitfalls to Beware of While Dating Russian Girls

When you meet your Russian date through a marriage agency, be sure to consider a date’s mental make-up and other attributes before making any kind of commitments, because unfortunately scams are rampant in the international dating scene.

One of the best ways to meet the right Russian girl for you is to sign up on a dating website like Loversplanet.com. Here, we encourage you to properly get to know a Russian girl online before dating her in person, dramatically increasing your chances of successfully dating a Russian girl.

Loversplanet.com is a great website for not only finding the right girls from Russia to date, but also for excellent advice and support on Russian dating. Sign up for Loversplanet.com today as the first step towards successful dating with Russian girls.

Russian Women Married in the United States

Merin — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:52:33 +0000

Thousands of Russian women have been living in the United States for the last decade or so, married to American men. Statistically, about 10,000 Russian women seeking American men come to the United States each year striving to start a new life and become part of a new family, and here is why.

Why are Russian Women Seeking American Men?

America with an economy in bad shape is still a much better place to live in than Russia on the upswing. Educated Russian women are looking for a good husband and a better life in the land of opportunities.

American men treat women as their equals and are generally respectful. This is a refreshing change for Russian women, many of whom go through verbal, emotional, and even physical abuse at the hands of Russian men.

Why are American Men Attracted to Russian Women?

American men, on the other hand, like Russian women for their essential femininity. Even the most career-minded Russian woman takes more care of her appearance than the average American woman.

Some American men turn to women from Russia for marriage because they are looking to start their family with a good-looking wife, who retains a commitment to home and hearth despite working outside.

In some cases, the chances of a more mature but financially well-established American man’s chances of finding a relatively young and attractive wife may be slim in America. Russian women look beyond appearances and are willing to settle for affection and a secure future with an older man in the United State.

How are Russian Women Doing in the United States?

Russian women initially find it difficult to adjust to the United States, because of the difference in language and culture. But with the help of patient husbands, most of them are able to go for satisfying work careers and family lives.

Since Russian women are often blond, slim and attractive, it is easier for them to blend into an American neighborhood.

The Russian women in the United States are usually well-educated, and have a passable, if not native grasp of the English language, which only improves with time.

The divorce rate between Russian women and American men is lower than the national average in the United States. If you are looking to get married to a Russian woman, sign up on Loversplanet.com and take the first step towards a fulfilling married life today.
