Why Russian Women? So…what makes these women so special? Those guys fortunate enough to have
met or visited the Former Soviet Union (FSU) already know the answer! The first thing is that these
women still have “traditional” values. Now this phrase probably means something a little different to
everyone who hears it. So let’s qualify this a bit. Russian women will want to have children and a family.
Yes, she will want to be a wife and mother. Many will be totally happy in these roles alone. Some will like
to work outside the home as well, some will not. By and large these women know how to be a wife
and mother! The whole Russian culture teaches that a woman finds her highest fulfillment and joy
in being a wife and mother. They learn these skills from their mother’s at a young age.
In the days of Soviet Union education in Russia used to be free and many Russian girls tried to enter some
university, institute or college right upon graduating from the school. Then there was a popular joke.
Russian abbreviation “Institution of Higher Education”, which in Russian was “ÂÓÇ” (Âûñøåå Ó÷åáíîå
Çàâåäåíèå), for women was supposed to decipher as “Find a Proper Husband” (Âûéòè Óäà÷íî Çàìóæ).
Marriages between Russian girls and foreigners were rather uncommon then and Russian girls would look
for a good husband among Russian men.
Of course, even then there were particular women in Russia who sailed the sea, headed huge enterprises
or gave themselves to science. However, that was rather much of an exception than the rule. The most
important thing for Russian women has always been their family, children and husband, that is why they
preferred to take the job that would not require them too much time and effort and would not divert them
form their household duties. A career was rather a men’s prerogative and would always associate with
men, although Soviet ideology pretended that men and women are equal in their rights.
In the years of perestroika Russians began to adopt Western life style and a lot of Russian women went
into business. However, the reason for that was not for their ambitions or native inclinations. In fact, due
to a serious economical crisis, that was taking place in Russia during perestroika, almost all huge
industrial companies and plants were run down and a lot of men, who had used to be experts in their
sphere and had always been paid well, lost their job. They were no more able to keep their family, thus
Russian women had to find the way out.
In the course of time the situation relatively improved, but Russian men, who have already accustomed
to the idea that the women are able to win their bread at their own discretion, no more feel themselves
responsible for family wages. They are absolutely indisposed to burden themselves with children and
other family issues. For that reason nowadays Russian girls and women look for foreign husbands.
They believe that there are still some men abroad who are able to dispense them with the necessity of
making a career and can provide them with the opportunity to engage in things they are most fond of.
Still, these things are their family, children and no one but their husband.
I often talked with many Russian girls which came to our marriage and matchmaking agency. I asked
them one and the same question. "Why do you want to marry foreigner?" Some of them wanted to find
"their only" man. To search for one with whom the girl feels well and comfortably, to find their
"another half". These girls are ready to meet both Russians, and Western men as well. They want to
have the maximum of chances and use all available opportunities. They usually marry in six months - a
year after revenue to the agency. Some of them choose Russians husbands, some other - foreign.
They aim not just leave abroad, but find the native soul, and most often they reach their goals. Many of
the girls coming to the agency, has already met with Russian men, and even had their children, but
decided to marry the Western man.
Usually, they explain their decision so that they could like more the Western men's attitude toward both
children and their men's health as well. It is a serious attitude allows them to maintain their health and
activ vivacity of spirit to a much later age. If you want to find a decent father for your child, it should be
remembered that the man is looking for wife above all - looking for a woman for comfortable warm soft
relations.
There are girls who set themselves the task of simply travel abroad only to "bump". Our experience
shows that this category of girls is the most vulnerable. If the rest girls deal with a reasonable share of
caution, drawing attention to the deeds, remarks, inconsistencies in the letters, those who just want to
leave, usually ignore such trifles. And it is often occur different troubles with girls of the kind. They can
get married a drug addict or get into a situation of domestic terror. I do not call for suspicion, reaching up
to paranoia, in the search for hidden meaning in each the words and terms of your vote. I appeal to listen
to your feelings, try to understand whether reliably, whether you are comfortable with that person,
whether you want to wake up next to him every morning, hold together weekend to educate children
together. Of course, politics "endured-beloved" also has a right to exist, but in this case, you should be
prepared for any surprises.
Some girls or women come to the marriage agency after heavy loss or divorce. They can come
immediately or after a time rolled over after the loss. For them apeal to the agency is an important step
to the next stage of their lives. They understand - all that was dear to them is now in the past but now
they have to live the present and look to the future. They rarely marry foreigners, but the letters, calls and
the attention of men on the site enables them to feel interest to the present to start to live full lives and be
ready for the new love. Sometimes love erupts with a foreigner on the site, sometimes it's Russian, and
not even from Agency. These women literally could not be recognized in a month - two, their eyes begin
fluoresce, gait became flying, the voice - alive and sensual.
The last contingent, I would like to tell about - are the girls who did not enjoyed success among Russian
men, but somehow feel that they will be easy to find man in the West. But in other countries men
still want to see a partner in woman, a friend lover and simply incredible woman. In that aspect western
men no differ from Russia. They want to see the next person to be comfortable and safe with. Therefore,
women who have not been able to build a close relationship, first must address to themselves, to think
about their style in appearance and behavior to look closer to the happier couples and try to understand
what attracts men to their favorite wife. To look at the warmth and joy, which they give to each other.
And then, of course, their men who want to bask in the rays of light coming from those who want to
forever link their fate with them.
So, if you've decided to try happiness in finding Russian wife you have to learn how to use the dating site.

right click the file's name, then click Properties. The Properties window will display the exact file size
and size in Megabytes (MB).
The site won't accept my photos. What's wrong?
First, let’s see who does not accept the photo- the site or a manager. After you upload the photo it should
appear in your section My photos and above it there should be a sign that it is Waiting for approval of the
site’s manager. If the photo did not appear there it can be one of factors: Is the file you are uploading
larger than 8 Megabytes in file size or very small in size? Is the file bmp., jpg or gif format? It should be in
one of this formats.
Is your photo file compressed into a ZIP file?
We do not accept ZIP files, due to virus vulnerability If the photo is uploaded all right and you see it in
your Photos section then it is waiting for manager’s approval. After approval it will be seen to other users
and you can put it to the photo contest. In some cases the manager does not approve the
photos- if it is a porno photo. if it is offensive for other members If it is the only photo in your profile and
there are no you there (in all these cases it can bring your profile to be deleted. It is a serious marriage
agency and we do not help a child or a kitten (about about 3 percent of users put only a photo of a baby
or a photo of kittens into their profiles) to find a mistress). If you are still having photo upload problems,
you are able to send them to us via e-mail.
Do I need to provide a description for each of my photos?
No, we do not need description of your photos, but it is a good thing to do.:)
I uploaded my photo, but it doesn't look as good as others!
When the image file was saved to floppy disk or your hard drive, the file was not saved with a high
enough resolution (dots per square inch) and was distorted. When saving any image files, after scanning
or when extracting them from your digital camera, make sure you save them as a JPG file and with very
high quality. Then, when we scale your photos down to size, they will look great!

your profile only if you place indecent photos (nude and offensive to other members).
Why does my photo shrink when I upload it?
We must shrink it to fit nicely within your profile. Just do not forget to crop all white spaces from your
photos before you upload each of them.
How is the photo used for my listing photo determined?
For the ladies we look for the clearest photo of their face. If it happens to be the photo #1, that is the
photo we will use. For men it is the photo that was approved the first. If you want to change it just go to
your pictures and click there Make an avatar and place the square at the place where there is a face, you
can move it by clicking and dragging, arrows will help you to make the square bigger, click the arrow and
move it to make it bigger.
After uploading pictures do I have a way to preview them or to see my profile as it will look
to the world. When I clicked to upload the photos how do I know what has happened.
If the uploading went all right, then you see the pictures that you upload on the photo page with the sign
over them – waiting for manager’s approval. Your photos will be seen to other users only after they are
approved. Only after that you can put the pictures to photo contest and you can make an avatar from the
pictures. Only then you can see how your profile is looking for other members- go to Home on the menu,
in the middle of the page, you will see the box My profile, click on the link My page there, and you will see
how you profile will look like for other people. You won’t see there buttons Wink, and other similar buttons
because this profile belongs to you and we do not have possibility for you to send messages to you.

be forced to delete your membership – we do not have any recurrent billings.
How do I respond to someone who added me to friends?
When someone added you to friends, our site automatically sends you a notification and places a similar
e-mail message in your inbox on this site. You can either add this member to friend or initiate contact by
sending him email or ice-breaker or other kind of message.
I received notice that I have e-mail, but it's not in my inbox!
If you receive a notice that you have e-mail and it's not in your inbox , it can mean either the member has
since been deleted or he deleted the message to you himself. If we find that a member is spamming
people, sending harassing e-mail messages, we delete them and their mail instantly. Also, if a member
deleted the message to you himself, you won't find it in your inbox. It was designed to protect you, our
members. You will see in your mailbox a deleted message and it is written why it was deleted.
Some person is spamming me or trying to sell me something. Help!
If anyone spams you or harasses you, we want to know immediately. Please contact us and, if found to be
harassing, the member will be deleted right away!
I accidentally deleted an e-mail message. How do I get it back?!
Unfortunately, for security reasons, there is no way for us to recapture deleted mail.
Is there a time limit for typing my e-mail message?
Yes. If we don't hear from you for 3 hours (if you have clicked on another Web page, etc..), your logon
session will timeout. If you were to submit your message to the e-mail sending page, it will not know who
you are and will not accept the message.
How many e-mail messages can I send?
As a Gold or Silver member, you may send as many e-mail messages as you like, just as long as they
follow our Terms and Use Agreement rules.
How do I know if a member has read my e-mail or not?
After sending an e-mail message, it will appear in Sent box. If the member has not read the message
there will be a red heart near the letter.
How will another member know if I e-mailed them?
When you send a message to another member, we immediately e-mail them at their "real" e-mail
address to inform them they have a message waiting from you at our site. Be patient after sending an
e-mail. Sometimes it takes a while for other members to get back online and check their mail. Some
members may appear to be ignoring you, but may simply be traveling or on vacation.
Can I give other members my "real" e-mail address?
Absolutely. What you write in your e-mail messages to another member is strictly your business (unless
we need to investigate a harassment claim). And we recommend men to take the women's telephone
number first and talk on the telephone first. Then they have much less chance to fall victims to scammers.
Do you ever read my e-mail? Who has access to read my mail?
The only time we would read your e-mail messages is in the instance an investigation were to occur for
misconduct on our site, scamming, spamming or other illegal activity, or a clear violation of our site's
Terms and Use Agreement.
What if someone doesn't ever respond to my e-mail messages?
If someone does not respond to your e-mail message, don't take it to heart. Move on and have comfort in
the fact that there are millions more where they came from!
Can I copy and paste my messages?
Yes, you can use one message to send to many members (of course, it can be a part of the email, and
another part we recommend to make more personalized.). Just first go to your mailbox, create one or
several templates (We recommend to give them some meaningful names like my presentation, my city, so
that you can insert the templates to different letters. Below letter there is a list of templates just find
needed and click Paste. Then make all additional changes, personalize it and send.

and do not want my regular mailbox to be full)?

"My Account" settings link on the menu.
How can I add attachments to my letter?
In your message (not quick message!) you can see the words Attachments in the bottom of the page, click
on the Browse and find a picture (a file) you want to upload, click on it, and then click on upload a photo.
If you want to upload another picture, continue the steps (browse, find, upload).
What is an ice-breaker and how do I send one?
An ice-breaker is one of messages you can send to any member to get their attention. You can send an
ice-breaker to flirt, say hi, or to initiate a conversation. If you want to send a personalized message, it is
better to send an email. To send an ice-breaker you can do in two ways. One way is to send just from the
profile of the person, choose from the dropping down list of icebreakers. There are short ice-breakers. If
you want longer ice-breaker, click on the button Send an icebreaker, choose the icebreaker there and
click send.
What is the difference between ice-breakers in the
dropping down list in the profile and the ice-breakers that are on the separate page that I can see when I
click Send an icebreaker? The ice-breakers in the dropping down list in the profiles of the members are
just some of the ice-breakers, they are placed in the profile of the person so that it would be easy and
quick for you to send. They are short and easy to use. Some other ice-breakers were placed on a
separate page, they are a bit longer. We recommend to choose ice-breakers personally for each member
you send them to.

Why are Russian women looking for a husband abroad?
One of the main reason why Russian women are looking for a man abroad is that Russian men do not
want to take responsibility and build family relationship. According to statistics, for each 5 Russian women
who want to marry there is only one man who wants to marry. Also the question of fatherhood is very
acute in Russia. Most men in Russia do not want to live with their children and to receive real money for
upbringing their children according to Russian laws is practically impossible, That's why women, opposite
the popular opinion, look abroad not prosper life but possibility to create a normal family and grow
children.
Do Russian women make good wives?
The notion "good wife" , I doubt, depends on the nationality. It is more a queston of individual
compatibility and adequacy of mutual demands. But, nevertheless, Russian women have two big
advantages in comparison with Western women. First, most Russian women put the family higher than
their business and career. They can value a man who can create stable family and really be a father to
his children. The second advantage is that Russian women are more open and ingenious in showing their
feelings and wishes, including sexual.
Are the Russian women religious?
After 70 years of atheism it would be difficult to call Russia a religious country. At first, all manifestations
of believing in God were prosecuted, then, during the time of Perestroyka, most of population went from
one extreme to another. A wide number of sects and congregations appeared- from pagans to Mormons.
Now Russian people are tried to impose Russian Orthodox religion but not too successfully. But ignorance
of religious rituals does not mean that they do not believe in God. Many Russian women believe in God,
though they do not attend church.
What is the difference between Russian women and Western women?
If to go to this question from physiological point of view, there is not difference. But there are mental
distinctions. If a man who live in the West and who has a family, children and wife, has often higher
status of credibility and rating than single men, in Russia it is more related to women. That's why Russian
women try to marry and retain their husbands almost at any cost. Russian women also do not try to
compete with men in business and prove their independence. Visa versa, they look for a strong husband
who could support and protect them.
Are the girls in your catalogue real?
Yes, all the girls on this site are actively trying to find a foreign partner for marriage or a long term
relationship, we only list the girls who are actively looking for a partner. We know many the girls
personally. We guarantee that the girls with high level of credibility are real. But all other girls were
checked rather deep before they were activated on the site (that’s why we activate only about two thirds
of women who register.
Will it be difficult for a Russian woman to adapt to a new style of life?
The ability to adaptation does not depend on nationality, but on the peculiarities of the character. There
are women for whom any even insignificant changes in their life become serious stress. But they as a rule
can't make up finally their mind to leave Russia, each time finding for this different excuses. For those,
who does make up their mind, adaptation is just a question of time. Of course, there are different things
that help a woman to adapt to live quicker- make her not stay at home but do something outside, go to
different courses (driving, language, some profession), invite friends home, go from time to time together
to dine.
Why choose your agency and not another?
Nothing against other people and other agencies but we can only control ourselves. We think that the
reason to choose us is because we always ask ourselves how can we be better and how we can we be
different. There are many reasons but here a few. We work with you intimately making sure you are
never alone in the process by being your advisor and friend. We are always here for you, from the
registration and first letter to Visa, Vows and happily ever after. We are brutally honest. Because we care
about both you and the girls we will always protect both your interests. Want to wear rose-colored
glasses? Then choose someone else. Want the truth in order to build a lasting, true and loving
relationship then we know we can help. We do not work with profiles posted by agencies though they
write to us at least once a week with different offers. It is profitable for agencies that receive money for
each letter that a client reads or sends to make fake women and fake letters. That's why we do not want
them on this site. We have more than 9000 women in my database. They have computers at home or
very few of them (about 3 percent) go to Internet cafe. The cost of internet cafe is rather little (half a
dollar for an hour) and it is not a problem for them. The main hinder is 1 lack of good English of many
women. That's why we have online translator on our sites. Yes, it translates not perfectly but you can
understand the meaning and the woman can understand your meaning. 2. Many women have to pay for
the traffic that's why video and audio messaging is not always possible for a woman. We do a deep
checking of all women on the site (in fact, only two thirds of all women are activated (the membership is
free for them), all other are from scammer groups or extremely suspicious). And we check the site
regularly. But the main problem that we face is that as we do not write from women's name any letters
(though we advise men and women to be more active) men expect as on other dating sites just to
register and wait for women to write to them. And oops.... they can find rather few letters from women.
Russian tradition says that men should be the initiators of the contact, many western men also came to
this strategy -and just wait. So both parties sit and wait. Men who are active and write find their ladies
rather quick. But what to do with others is a question.
What is the secrets of getting responses?
The trick is not only to get responses, but to get enough responses to give you plenty of choices. How
many letters must you write to find Your Only One? There is no definite answer. One man can write 1
letter and fall in love with the perfect mate, another guy can send 50, and all his correspondence will
inconceivably stop after 2-3 letters. The result completely depends on you and the efforts you put in.
If you are good-looking, you will get more responses than if you are old and ugly, it is just natural. Don't
choose women who are too young, and you will ensure that you'll get some responses. Some men do get
a 100% response; again, it depends highly on you.
The first letter is the most important and you must ensure that it will be special. There is no second
chance to make a first impression. Your letter must be interesting to read. Good humor is the best way to
make reading fun but don't be a clown. Never make jokes about the girl's appearance, her English, etc.
Better to laugh at yourself than to laugh at her.
As you have on our site a good profile, you can just show your interest to the girls, show you as
interesting person and all the details about you and your picture she will read in your profile.
