The website could be improved a whole lot. I did not particularly enjoy paying for the service but it was worth it in the end. Every website will have its pros and cons and this one has pros
Due to the beautiful women on the site. Some cons are the website design and the search function. The search function could be a lot more detailed but overall you will get what yu pay
For.
Talking about those that strongly disagree with the potency of online dating, I was at the top but today, thanks to Charmingdate, I have become a testimony that online dating can actually lead to something good. Me and my lovely wife met here and began chatting. After a while, we got pretty serious and arranged a meeting. What followed happened too fast and we got married. Today we have a child to show for it and our union has remained a happy one.
I live in France but I am an American. My kind of work is one that requires constant travels, that means I rarely have time to do all the dating stuffs like go see a movie in a cinema or chat over a dinner. Not every girl can cope with that and I guess I have not been lucky enough to get a girl that can. With online dating the stress have been lessened on me because all I need is an internet enabled device. This site is one of those websites I would recommend.
1. When you pay per month, you purchase space to put your profile, search others, and communicate without giving out your contact info. But when you pay per message, you are paying for a person's attention and conversation. Not my idea dating.
2. I sent one of the canned 'Hi' messages to a girl and she sent me more than one letter per day - some were sexually explicit invitations... Not my idea of meeting a total stranger.
3. I found out the hard way that the site 'stole' more than 2/3 of my 'credits'. By charging me for video chats, although I never had any. Even when I was logged out and my device was OFF! I found it in my billing history. I pointed it out, and the site assured me that
* the site has great service
* customers are very important
* and, the site has great service.
Oh, and everything is my fault.
I later discovered that less than 20% of what went missing was returned.
4. Also, I communicated with one girl with "Fair" English. But her letters were native speaker grammatically correct (I've taught a lot of English as a Second Language), with educated native speaker vocabulary, and a high style. It competes with my BEST writing; few native speakers in my country can write that well! But, our first contact had a different writing style. And. The other letters were consistent with scammer letters: specifically, they could be sent to anyone, and don't refer to my earlier comments or my profile - other than my photo (which was blank) really impressed her.
Through a reverse photo search I found her on multiple social media and news sites regarding her profession, and I really don't think she is the type to be a scammer. (Previously, I had been corresponding with a girl on another site and went to meet her. She was not aware of some of the letters her profile had sent to me...)
5. This is by far the most expensive site of the almost three dozen I've registered on: the other pay-per-letter sites allow you to read for free. Here, you even need to pay to send a canned "Hi" message (two per day are free! - but never to the same girl: but if you have too many unanswered ones, you can't send out another "Hi"). Many sites allow you to get free credits or otherwise send a few free letters, but not here.
To sum up:
Paying for women's' attention
Most expensive site
Includes sexually explicit letters from strangers
Lost most of my money for services I did not ask for, or receive
Language style can be inconsistent across letters
Language level can be inconsistent with stated English level
Writing style consistent with scammers I met elsewhere
I suspect that some of the letters are not known by the person who supposedly sent them
Practically nothing for free: no "try before you buy".
Utter scam! If you read any reviews below this one that give the site three or more stars then they are fake reviews. Read them carefully and you can tell that English is not their first language. The site itself is a money pit and probably provides a lucrative income for men and women in Eastern Europe; do not get scammed by this crap.
I've read a few bad reviews for here so I thought I would share my own experience. I've been using this site for six months so far and I haven't encountered any problems. There are some men complaining about the women being fake, this is not true and they are complaining about the price being too high. At the end of the day you get what you pay for, we pay for a good service. If they don't like it they can go and use a free site, why stay here and try to give the site a bad reputation just because they haven't met a woman who they see eye to eye with.
I had been looking for a site that could help me find a partner for quite a while. After being scammed so many times, I almost gave up. Until my friend suggested me this site. I have never been more satisfied with all the privacy and security from this kind of website. Good work guys! Keep it up.
I am a geek and you can imagine; I never fit in among my peers. Dating was also a pain area. Never succeeded. With this website, things are different. I finally feel like I also belong to here and I can make real conversations without awkward silences and fumbling for words.
The site is different from other general dating site.It is more with purpose, in good way.It is better with this because I signed up here with hope to find someone and have a serious relationship. I checked the site there are women over 35 years old, it is good for men inmy age who want to get married.
Met a woman on here she use to chat with me when she needed my love. Now she never chats. It was a unique experience in my eye. Even though it did not work, I appreciated her and her company. My life changed significantly when I joined Charmingdate. It is a site full of genuine people. I will forever use the site. Relationships are important and forming them online makes it easier as ever. I could give my heart to Charmingdate. LoL
I am not very good at computer and stuff. So I keep contacting their client service when problems come out with my account. They are not bad, have always been patient and helping, and solved problems.
To be honest, I'm sometimes overwhelmed by seeing so many women on this site that I don't even know where to begin. But that's what the Search filter function is for I guess. And besides, having so many women to choose from means that you're spoilt for choice. I don't find that on many other dating sites which are a bit restricting as to who you can contact. So for that, I still use Charmingdate.com. And these girls – WOW! That's all I have to say.
I have been through numerous online dating sites, and for me, Charmdate.com is, by far, the one suits me the best. I like the site from its smooth and fast signing up process up to meeting different kinds of people. The site has a lot of new features that i haven't tried with other online dating sites. Plus, they have a wide range of people from different places and age groups. So you know you can really find someone that can pass your standards.
Some negative feedback posted in the internet in regards to this site and I doubt the legality of it. However, I love Ukrainian ladies more than I can say. Every man admires physical beauty. Right? I’m a member in other different sites like this charmingdate.com. The ladies are so beauty and sexy that I can not control myself to buy credits for communication. The correspondence is going on, everything so far so good.
This site is a total scam do not buy into it. If there was less than like -10 i would marked it. The women are beautiful but they work to keep you talking and chatting to make money that they do not have any interest to move off the site to talk to you in private emails or private phones as long as they go through the site they have interest on you because they get paid otherwise they will not email you sincerely.
I find this sites customer care is non-existent and at the best is still poor.
I had a profile on this site then I meet someone so I asked charmingdate to delete the profile feeling the relationship would work but it didn't so contacted charmingdate to see if my old profile was still active and I was told to re sign up so I did.
Now my profile has been suspended due to me having two accounts.
What a bunch of...!
You spend money for everything and its worse than a slot machine.
You get nothing back from this site except hassle and poor help.
If you want to date this special one you have to give it a try. I think I am picky. Sometime I just have crush on girls who I know are out of my league. But there the Russian girls are easy going and funny, I had nice chat with them! Hope we will have sparkles! I suggest if you are very picky when it comes to girls, you can try this site.
I have heard many people say this website is expensive and I agree there is a fee but then you have to spend money on dating no matter where you meet. So, in my opinion, this place is not expensive if you consider what you are getting in exchange. Be smart about how you spend on the website. That's it.
The site allowed me to find the woman of my dreams. I enjoy every moment of my life with her. She had become not only my wife but a best friend that I can count on everyday. It is something special when a website and technology can do that. We are expecting a baby now and it is something that I will always share with Charmingdate! Thank you so much for giving me a chance at love.
My friends know that I love the gorgeous girls and cars and one day one of my friend tell me this site has the gorgeous russian girls. I can spend several times to browsing the pictures of profile on girls.And there are so many beautiful girls on the site, blonde, tall and slim. I have chatted with some and they both speak English and really fun!
Answer: My verdict after a year of using Charmdate: it's total fraud! I had been in a close contact with many girls for a year until I finally left the site. Now I'm convinced that pretty much all of them were scammers. I had not met any of them! All of them suddenly came up with some kind of excuse in the last minute as to why they couldn't have a real meeting with me. Bullsh*t! It can't be a coincidence when I had 4 dates on http://j4Iove.com After using it for 3 months only. Can you explain the difference? There is just one realistic explanation: Charmdate women were fakes and scammers.
Answer: The question "Can I trust the site" is easy. The answer is no. The real question is "can I trust the girl" and that is harder to answer since there are some real women on the site. Here are some things to consider. Many men have signed up for tours or independent visits to meet a girl only to have the site call at the last moment and tell them they either have found someone else or decided they were not interested. By that time they already have their ticket and "tour" booked and paid for. We don't know if your girl is real or not and you might find yourself a "victim" of their fraud. Before you trust her, you need to be able to separate her from the site and confirm the relationship independent of the agency. There are ways of doing this. Ask her to send pictures that she has posted on her private web sites. Google them and make direct contact. I googled any picture of wome writing to me. Many were on VK.com, the equivalent of facebook. So I set up an account there and contacted the ladies. Most immediately blocked me. One who did not simply told me she would ONLY correspond with me on Charming date. You can also try to find a way to give her your phone number and ask her to call you collect. Most of the time your letters will be edited to prevent such information so you'd have to be creative. Tell her about a 2025 mile trip you took and fill out the rest of the telephone number with number of gas station stops meals eaten, people visited, etc etc. If you really want to you can call her, assuming you are actually talking to her and not a fake agent. Find out where she works. Call there and get her direct number. Try anything. But so long as you are only writing emails, you should assume little correspondence between the profile and the emails you are getting. Odds are if you are corresponding with a real woman, much of your correspondence has been "enhanced" or even written by the agency and you will have to start over getting to know her. Independent studies indicate that you have a higher chance of marrying a translator for the agency than you do of marrying the girl to whom you thought you were writing.
Answer: Do they get paid? Not in a conventional way set up in a western society. Charming Date, gets its women from "affiliates" in Ukraine. These "dating groups" go out and advertise for women, who are seeking western men. The site pays the "affiliates" money for each women's profile they get to use the site. I CANNOT definitely say that the affiliate groups are set up to pay the women. They feed them a lot of bullshit about how easy it is to marry a western man. In Ukraine, the average salary is about 200 bucks a month. A lot of these women love that country, but want a better life. The dating sites know this and use this as their leverage to get women to sign up. They really BELIEVE that someone is going to marry them. That is their dream and the dating sites tell them that the dream will never be realized if they are not exposed to a society (western) that can give them a better life. Not all of those women are scammer's. You have groups within the affiliated dating service group, that is filled with nothing but scammers. I am SURE that the leader of these groups ASK to be paid for each women they get to sign up.If they DO pay a woman, she is not getting hardly anything at all. A Ukrainian woman is not going to get rich advertising herself online at different dating sites. I would say she is lucky if she even gets 10% of a reply. And then that is eaten up by all the photo-shopping that is done to make them look more beautiful. She is stuck, she does not realize how hard it is to get her out of the Ukraine because the dating site will not ever tell her of the VISA restrictions that are attached to Ukrainian citizens when it comes to visiting the West. But the dating site is her only hope., so she stays with it not because of the little she may be getting, but because she believes that she will find a real husband from the west. To the dating sites, she is nothing but the product they advertise to make money off of, and some of the women have gotten hip to that. I have had a couple talk to me seriously about how they felt they were not being informed on how hard it is to marry a western man because of the restrictions on the average Ukrainian's VISA. The dating site WANTS you to fall in love with one, wants you to keep buying credits, spending money, and if you are communicating with a lady from one of the crooked affiliate sites, she will be encouraging you to keep writing, or will try to seduce you with words. A real lady does not do that, even in the sites. If you tell her the site is too high, she wants to know how much you pay. If you tell her you can only write her once a week, she will tell you that she will cherish each letter you send. If you are in a site that has video chat, you can SEE the very woman you are talking too, which Charming Date may have now. A true Ukrainian woman will introduce you to her family through the video chat, show you her brothers and sisters, because Ukrainians are all about family. They are proud of their families and want them to meet you. I have done this several times at another site and even send emails to them without the use of a site, but it costs them a lot of money to respond to you, to have what you send to them interpreted. CharmingDates plays this game two ways, they pimp the woman without her knowing how hard it will be to get this dream, and they scam you thinking you are just going to find a wife here just by a few chats or letters. You might, but you can bet you will be spending a lot of money to send and respond to letters. CharmingDate cheats on their chat feature by NOT giving you the full time you pay for, and they DO have women, who are members of the dating site, answering chat invitations. So, that should tell you something right there. Because there seem to be no restrictions or laws governing these crooked affiliate sites from Ukraine, this will not ever stop. But... there are a few sites out there that you can really meet some decent, nice, attractive and respectful women from Ukraine. After you have been around for awhile, you can smell a scam a mile away. A real Ukrainian woman will SURPRISE you with how friendly she is. She will SHOCK you with how humble she is. All she wants... is for you to be her friend and she HOPES, that it becomes more than that. There are many, many attractive women there. This I learned AFTER my first post here. But because there are so many, the men there take them for granted and will leave them in a minute. They are there, they are in Charming Date, but there is so many frauds and scammers there also, the dating site can easily get out of trouble by saying they have no policies at all governing the affiliates who sell them profiles of women they recruit. The site says "no scams", that is true for any society that has laws, but they do not get these women from a society based on that. So, it is easy for a woman and the company she works for, to scam the site, which I am sure... they know it. Good luck out there! Search the sites hard, there are some Ukrainian women that are really worth your time and attention. I am continuing to find out more and more about Ukraine. It is a very interesting place. It also seems that, the more you seem to want to know about their country, the more honest women are attracted to you. The more intelligent you act towards them, the more credible the women seem to get. It seems like a word goes around the country that says" this guy has a real interest in our country, he is worth being serious with" The truth be told, a lot of dudes, pay that little money to those women, and want nothing but virtual sex from them. That is how I believe the scammers got a foothold in the industry. The cry for immoral (smile). Everything you have read here is based on my personal opinion, on things I have learned while talking and dealing with women from Ukraine. When they were asking me about the unrest in America, about holidays, about how streets look like, you can assume... she is probably on the level. She will NOT EVER ask you for a DIME, nor will she send sob stories about someone in her family being sick. The true Ukrainian woman, for all her humbleness, is still a very PROUD woman. She may not have ANYTHING, but she will not ask anything from you! Personally... I think if you get a chance to get ahold of a true one? That Slavic woman is going to love you to death, no matter WHAT you look like... just have a decent heart and treat her correctly.
Answer: I flew to Kiev and found this site to be much of what others have said. The woman are paid. Local model agencies refer girls to this site to make extra money. One girl told me she made fifty per cent of what she brought in. When I surprised a couple of girls that I was in Kiev vacationing they were all of a sudden leaving Kiev on there own vacation. I found meeting girls in Kiev at bar/restaurant I was much better off. If you notice girls send you the same pictures just to build their tally and so on. If you stick to a letter a week and see where it goes from there it will keep your costs low if you want to keep investigating this site. But my recommendation is travel to Kiev during winter and Oddessa during summer and see what happens.
Answer: It's a fake and scam site.
Answer: Any positive feedback here about Charm Date is a complete lie. Don't believe anything.
Answer: They will not do this. I actually wrote them about a month, maybe two back about policies. This was one of them I wondered about and they said they do not provide that service anymore. They also do not support IMBRA.
Answer: You have to request them to do this. I would delete all your photos, and erase everything you can. Then make the request.
Answer: This site appears to be a complete rip off, far too expensive, gives nothing in return except endless chat.
