I love this online dating site so much because for me the hardest part of dating in the real world is striking up a conversation with a stranger. But online you can have a real conversation right away without all the awkward fumbling around trying to find the right words.
Hello people! Well, don't know what to say. I met one woman some time ago on a site and she is so real. It appeared that my friend Jerry flew on a date with her friend. Who also were on a site, but after Jerry had a date with her, they got along and she decided to leave site. But her friend is still on it. I thought of going for her, but my wife wanted to work things out. And I decided to do it, to try to save our family. But if someone here is looking for real woman, very beautiful. Here is her I'd C******* Angela. If it worked for Jerry with his lady, by the way her name is Olha, I guess it can work for all men too. So, I am sure about this woman Angela that he told me about, so maybe someone can have chance with her. Don't know about other women, but this one is real. So, maybe someone would love to try. Seems that not everything is bad about this site.
This dating website has more services than all the other dating sites I have used in the past, talk of virtual gift, EMF, video show, cupid date and so on.
Dating sites are a dime a dozen, but heres the thing--if youre going to pay for a dating site, make sure its a good one. Dont settle for the cheap ones that have only a few girls, most of which arent even real.
I have been on the charmdate website and its affiliates off and on for several years. I am updating my previous review with the comment that it is even worse than I said originally. I would get several messages per day from women on one of the associated websites. Occasionally, I would get a message from a woman who seemed legitimate and I would respond. And I only responded to ones that were more age appropriate to me. I would not buy that a 20-something woman would be interested in a 50-some man under most circumstances.
From my experience, every one turned out to be a fraud.
I recently found a way to check to see if they are legitimate before you go too far and spend too much money. I was contacted by a woman on Facebook recently who warned me about the large number of scammers. She suggested I visit some of the popular social media sites to find the women from charmdate and contact them directly.
VK is the most common one, but facebook is also used as is Ok.ru. I would strongly advise going to these sites to investigate the women you think you are talking to. You will need to use google translate or have your browser translate. Recently, I checked on 20 women who all seemed legitimate.
All were scammers. 0 for 20. Thirteen of them acted as though they didn't even know who I was, even though we already communicated several times. Five of them said they wanted com communicate on the charmdate site only. Two of them said their VK accounts didn't work any longer even though I could see them online and Ok.ru showed a woman read my message.
I took a sample like this in the hopes I could find a good one but also realizing that it was very unlikely. I know some say they have found success but they are the very few who aren't being scammed or they are hired by the website to lie. I found that not one of 20 women were legitimate. This site is one of the biggest scams on the internet and would likely be shut down if it was headquartered in the United States.
Guys, i would tell you, that can understand all your fears about here. Surely, some of them are scammers, but most of all i liked here, that there was a chance for me to find a wonderful woman from Kyiv, Galina. We are together now, and soon going to make her a proposal. Wow... really excited about it. I went several times to Kyiv, we had date using service of Cupid Date. And everything went just lovely. People from agency helped me a lot, and offered alot of good services, with meeting me at the airport, transportation, apartment and even offered an excursion. Me and Galina was going around some places with translator, and loved everything much. So, times has passed, we are still together. I am so in love.
Galina has a friend on site, she is still single, and a lovely lady. C*******, Anzhela. So, you can also consider communicating with her. As she is a friend of my Galina, i had chance to meet her too, when was with my Galina, so, i can surely tell all of you, that Anzhela is real, and very nice. I would say even prettier than on pictures. So, go ahead. Don't miss your chance
Agree with so many men here. Guys, why are they scamming us all the time? But i have been there for some time and been in communication with one lady. She looked serious and i believed in her words.
After 4 months being in touch with her. I went to Ukraine. Was afraid. We met. She is real person. And everything she told - real! I have met her daughter. And next month i come again to her and take her with me.
Also she has friend. Her name is Irina. And ID C*******
She is real. Try your luck together.
Wish you best guys! A lot of fakes but also some real persons too! Dont give up!
There are literally hundreds of Russian Mail Order Sites and I have used many of them. Let me make clear: CharmDate is not a bad site at all. I'd rank it as one of the top three sites among with RussianGirls4u (not expensive but women are more average looking) and AnastasiaDate (many members but this site is very expensive). Those guys complaining about CharmDate obviously have no clue how bad most of the other sites are!
I communicated with different "ladies" over a 9 month period of time. The site is designed to remove the most money from you that it can. Stay away! I received the same letter, word for word, from two ladies. One lady knew the names of other ladies I was talking to... and I did not tell her. Their "live" video is looped... and you pay more or it. The profiles are made up by the local agency with pictures from model web sites. You are chatting with people at the agency. They rapid fire pictures at you to take your money. They send you pictures from different, but similar models. I found the same ladies on different dating sites and they did not know you from one site to the other. I did a lot of research and did not find one lady that was real. I tried to get my money back.
I know of lot of girls i have real contact with wit SMS and email, charmdate have their profiles and listed as living in wrong countries, i sit and write from Kiev where i met a girl from another site and she are on charmdate but $#*! profile,,,, i logged in and looked and when i was out with the girl she was online on charmdate? I know a girl in Crimea and she is listed as Ukrainian and living in Kherson, no point of complain, i did and mail stopped coming at all.
This is the most outlandish scam I have ever witnessed! When you buy $6.00 in credits you are charged $96.00, they will also state that they could not process your credit card and to attempt it again, yet each time they will bill you $96.00. If you contact Customer Care you are given a load of double talk with them asking to look at your bank statements.
Also, the women on the site push you to chat or email them (they're getting paid) and send you semi-nude photos of themselves
The entire site is corrupt and filled with sleaze from start to finish.
NOTE! - ANY POSITIVE REVIEWS OF THIS SITE ARE WRITTEN BY CHARMDATE!
Once you can spot the fakes, dating online gets you past all the phony BS you normally have to wade through when you meet girls in real life. The internet has a lot of things going for it--who thought honesty would be one of them!
I'm well into my 50s believe it or not and I have met more people from different backgrounds online than I have in my 55 years of living. Sure I don't get out much but this makes up for it sometimes. It's a small world they say but believe me when I say you haven't seen nothing yet. Just create a profile and get ready for a whole new experience.
How do i know this? Because, i'm a IT forensic investigator. At first i have interact with atleast 10 ladies here. 99% are not the person i have interact. Found all of them at VK website, none will accept you in their friend list. Almost all ladies are in relationship. Photos are taken from a studio for free, they earns a little commission from the letters send and received. If you had some experience trying to chat the cam will always not visible with such lame excuses. The person who wrote letters to you or chat with you is not the lady or the model as describe.
To my surprised, I found 2 of the ladies on some adult cam website and they explains everything to me after i threaten her to post her adult videos on porn site.
There are heaps of fake people out there guys beware. I got talking with a lady who claimed she was from Russia, turns out that it was a man I was chatting with! This was on another site I joined a couple of years ago. I'm back online and thought I'd get back into the game and so far I've been wary of who I talk to that I just have to video call. So that's pretty much what I do.
I have quit charmdate china and then log again, funny nobody send me admirers letters or emf since i quit the site, maybe they understand i dont spend money on ilusions, as many of you say some of them are young and gorgeous, then we have to look into mirror and realise we are not hollywood young actors, i want to warn you to get out of any contact with ukraine girls, who tells you live in the areaof civil war in eastern ukraine, just ask them a copy of their IDand you will get no more answears from them, i join others sites international cupid, the funnyh thing i didnt find ay chinise rich lady who want to date a western men. Was only girls from philipine, thailand, who works there like baby sitter or domestic helper, my advice just make economy and go visit China, Thailand, Philipine so on, chating or send letters is non sense, may of them dont want anything except money from you
In reality there are hundreds of lovely looking ladies all apparently looking for Mr Right?. You read that men from the Ukraine treat women with a lack of respect and that due to a shortage of realible men ladies from the Ukraine are now looking to the West to find their ideal man?
All good you may say?. Add the fact that ladies who are quite often 20 years younger than you give the impression that they view age as a number only?
The truth is you can contact these lovely ladies and have some nice chats, you may even believe that they are really interested in meeting you?
Here is the twist... you have already spend a reasonable amount of money before its fairly obvious that you will never exchange phone numbers, email addresses and you will never ever meet in person?
Sorry but that's fact... do yourself a favour enjoy the fantasy, we all sometimes need that, but don't get financially sucked in?
Someone somewhere is making a huge amount of money out of you... don't let that stupidity continue?
The problem with so many of the big-name dating sites is the free-profile model encourages so many scammers and fakes. Pay a little more and get quality. Simple as that.
I haven't had any bad experience on this website but if you're worried of being scammed, just make your profile private. You still get to meet people through private messages. It's worked for me. Mind you, I'm generally a sceptical person.
Real girls, really looking to meet real guys. So many fake profiles out there its ridiculous. They may be free sites but you get what you pay for. With Charmdate.com I met real girls interested in real world dates, like its supposed to be.
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.
