Elena's Models

July 2019. This is my final review of site. I maintain a 5 star rating. This site is the real deal and as far as I know the only payment site with real integrity. Slandering reviews on this site are all fake!

Starting as a greenhorn to international dating in 2016, I have now met 9 women from Elenasmodels (all Ukrainians). I can say that, in general, they are all pleasant to meet. I might continue with one of them. I am undecided. This brings me to the main challenge...

There are not enough women on site. You have to be lucky to meet the one and only. If you consider everything like geography, age preference, language, etc. then you will learn that there is scarce supply.

Given this I would say your best chance of success is to wait for the one and only. If she gives you tons of attention over time. Go and meet her. Going for multiple dates on same trip is also an option. But looking back, this is too easy. Everybody wants to wine and dine. Stay at home if you don't meet the one and only!

Go for platinum membership for a 3 month period. After this period you really should have results. There is no point in being online for longer. Not enough new profiles join. You have to take a really long break, like up to a year. Its easy to cancel membership renewal and you must take care not to get too hooked on site.

Some highlights from my previous reviews:

1. EM is real value for money. Fixed fee might seem high. But it is actually quite inexpensive if you do your research. Platinum is only $259 for three months.

2. You do not have to communicate on site. You can exchange information and communicate free on private social media, apps, webcam, etc.

3. Age difference is realistic on site. Up to 20 is possible in theory. Around 15 is rare. Around 10 i completely realistic. Up to 10 you will have many options.

4. Site is close to scam free. But a site can not control peoples true intentions! If they identify a scammer they will be removed right away. I tried it!

If you want to know if I am a real person, you can just contact me here on Sitejabber and I will give you my info... and some practical advice if you need it.

I've only been a member for two weeks, but I rank the likilihood of this site being legit pretty high. I've been attempting online dating for 10+ years and have never gotten so much as a response from women (unless they were fake). I'm 32 years old, slim, in good shape, and target a realistic age range. However, I am very unattractive in the face. Why do I believe that Elena's Models is mostly real profiles? Because out of 120 girls who have viewed my profile, only 3 have messaged. That is statistically realistic. Now don't get me wrong, I'm still suspicious about the 3, in fact, one of them I have already identified as a fake. She was very vague in her responses and at one point answered a question I did not even ask. Plus she wanted to move the conversation to another application on the 3rd message. Those are all the red flags. I am still chatting with the other two girls, and if they are fake, then it is a much more elaborate scheme. Neither of them has asked for money yet, nor have they asked to take the conversation to email/facebook where they can proceed with their scam more easily. Time will tell, but at the very least I can say that this website is not full of fake profiles to the extent that other dating websites are. Of course it will be impossible for any online interaction service to filter out 100% of dishonest people. That is why you as the consumer have to look out for yourself. Be realistic about your expectations and learn to spot the red flags. I believe that most scammers will move on if they get the slightest hint that you are a skeptic. They have many easier targets to work with. Most of them aren't seeking long term investments, so they will message you two or three times and then the red flags will start showing up. Learn the patterns and techniques. The information is out there. Once you filter through all of the crap (and you may have to spend months/years filtering) you might just find that special someone.

I have been a member of Elenas Models 4 months. I am 43 years old and good looking. Here is what I have experienced.

You will receive EOI and mails from many beautiful women on EM. Their messages will usually be very short, for example, "Hi how are you doing. Would like to know you better." Most will give you a Skype ID so you can chat with them, but as soon as you ask for a cam to cam meeting you will not hear from them anymore. I think they are payed by EM to contact you, so that you can use your 50 contact and have to pay more again to continue to contact more women. The worst of these fake profiles are usually those women who are in the top 100, and those who have bikini pictures on their profile.

There is also scammers on EM. I have been contacted by a handful of them. They are out to collect information about you to use for identity theft or some other fraudulent scam. Do not give your information to anyone on EM before you have met cam to cam in Skype. Ask for a meeting right away when they ask for your information and you will see that they disappear.

There is certainly real women on EM. I have met one of them on a date. But it is average women that you can find in Internet Dating in your own country, so it is not necessary to spend lots of money to travel to another country to meet such women.

So guys, save your money and time. EM is full of fake profiles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 12-19-2015: I have now completed my six months membership at Elenas Models. I wrote my first review after 4 months of membership, and I can only say that the last two months have not changed my views on this site. Waste of money and time, and lots of fake profiles. I will never be back to this site.

I created a profile on an Asian dating site and found my special lady in less than two months:-) It only cost me $45 a month and I could write to all the women I would like to.

I'm a young and good-looking guy and in elena's models only receive letters with offers from uglies, fat or very short (1'50-1'55 height) girls, being young and good-looking man in a site full of good-looking women. From good-looking women only receive eoi's (securely aren't in serious) and silly senseless messages.

Examples:

Message from ugly girl to me in EM:

"Hello Juan ¿how are you? Like your photos and what you've written about yourself in your profile - you seem to be a nice and interesting person. We could know each other better if you would like too".

Message from fat girl to me in EM:

"Hi Maybe we approach each other. I would be glad to talk with you!"

Other message from other fat girl in EM (1'71 height/82 Kg weight):

"Hello Juan! I am interested in your profile, and I'll be glad to get acquainted with you. What do you think, what is happiness? Everyone understands it differently. Until some time in my life the most... (continued)"

Message from a short girl (1'54 height):

"Hello! You look amazing on your photos! I want to know more about you!"

Now, message from a good-looking girl, medium height, cute and sexy:

"Hi) if all, that you wrote about yourself is true, then I am impressed)) it s really great! I love creative persons)"

-Great difference with other messages, it's an ironic message supposing that my profile is false only because it's interesting for her. Surprisingly, when ladies are unattractive decide believe me, when are pretty decline oportunity.

Other messages from good-looking girls:

"hey, how are u?"

"Hey from Ukraine) How is your life?"

"Hi) you have really nice photo."

") Hi)"

Great difference between letters from poor looking women and "letters" from good looking women?

I'm good looking and young guy in a site full of good looking and amazing women with some ugly or fat girls, where 99 % of men registered are uglier and older than me, and my profile only interest to ugly/overweight women for dating, and good looking/sexy women doesn't take it in account. So surprisingly as frustrating.

This is Elena's models

The Admin is a complete Piece of TRASH!

It's years that I'm registered on EM and not always as paying subscriber, mainly due a lack of guarantees about what are looking for women.

-Up-

- In my case EM has always been fast to track down and delete fake profiles, 2-3 against many other reals
- I was in doubt with a woman and the thinks she was saying. EM advised me to do not answer to her because didn't sound genuine, after few days her profile was deleted
- There a lot of women, it's pretty difficult do not find one that doesn't trigger your interest and I've talked with a lot of them

-Down-

- Probably the worst downside of EM it's the fact that you do not have any guarantee that the women on this website, are looking for a relationship and this poses the question:

"why pay for a website that promote women that want a relationship when the website itself can not guarantee the real intentions of these women?

EM simply answered to me that they do their best but they can't read in women's minds. It's true they can't, however this is a business, men are your clients and you are selling them a product of which you can't guarantee the quality...

- EM in its policy allow women to register for free, this obviously guarantee to EM a constant cycle of new women on their website. If EM should start to ask a monthly fee, billed monthly to the women, something like $15-20 in proportion of the country where they live, this would filter a lot women who are there for mere curiosity than something else.
This would an another effort to improve the quality of the website.

- I've lost the count, I think that I have talked with at least 30 of them facing:

Extremely superficial women (send me expensive gifts and we will see)
Women who expect to be maintained
Women who were there just to have a look
Women who were there because were really looking for a partner

Ironically the best conversations I've had were with those women who were there just to have a look or a friendship.

Personal tips:

- As said above, you have to surf between women that are not there looking for a relationship. If you want to have some chance and filter such profiles, directly give up on all the ladies younger than 27. Drastic but efficient enough.

- Farthest she lives from you, the less chance you have that she really wants to leave her home

- If in her profile is not written "relationship", forget about her

- If in her profile is written "looking for a $#*! buddy", seriously, forget about her

- Deepest in the east she lives, from where you live, deeper will be the differences between you too, in the ways to act and thinks.

- Tons of divorced women with children. Sadly for children, most of them are just kids or babies. They are so many that this should make you think about with how much superficiality children are conceived.

I've read the previous comments, particularly the so called social experiment from the guy who registered fake profiles on the site. What's the point in doing this? I see no interest. If you really want to write a review about a website you need to actually USE it not just scratch the surface which is what this person did.

On Elena's Models the EOIs (expressions of interests) are just a small part of the whole thing.

What you get is actually a list of real girls whom you can meet (or not). I have met 7 girls from the website over a period of 4 years, from Russia Ukraine Belarus, and I married one of them who is looking like a model indeed. I have been to these countries a few times now and I go regularly to Moscow because that's where the family of my wife is. By the way Russia has evolved a lot, it's not a country full of crime and crooks. It's changed a lot since the first time I went there in 2009. (yes I was there to meet a girl from Elena's Model). I wrote a blog about my experience on dating russian women at http://elena-models-review.com/ including the description of each girl I met and how it was. You might want to have a look, I share my experience, give tips and tricks so that you can get the best results in the shortest possible time etc.

To summarize, I have to disagree with the negative reviews. There are other sites which are full of scammers, EM is not. Now I cannot guarantee that you won't find a gold digger who will marry you and run away with your money, but the same would apply to every girl in every country: you never know what's inside. My advice, check my description and story on my personal blog and decide for yourself.

- girls are real
- there are almost no scammers
- the cost is not very high, a gold membership is not very costly IMHO
- you can find (like me) someone who is educated, smart, well traveled, who speaks English AND is 11 years younger.
- I never had 1 problem with my account (credit card payment)
- I contacted the support team on various occasions and they were helpful.

Check my profile on Jabber and click on the link to my blog to get all the details - I tell you, dating a Russian woman (or Ukrainian) is well worth every cent you invest in it, even if it's far etc. I would have never dreamed of being as happy as I am today with my wonderful wife, which is why I wanted to share this review as well as describe my experience on my blog and give advice on how to do it.

I first went to Elena's Models in 2011. I have hid my profile a few times since then when I was dating a girl. Elena's Models is a DATING site. Its not a "buy a wife" site. So, of course, there will be communications that result in nothing in the long term. You think that every lady that answers you is going to accept a visa, jump on a plane, and join you in your country? You think that every lady you meet in person is going to be madly in love with you at first meeting? These ladies are human beings. Like on any date, they may decide they don't want to marry you. No harm, no foul. The reason why so many guys get pissed off about it is that it is uber-expensive to fly to them and meet them. If you are not willing to accept the cost, don't go to an international dating site. Stick with a site in your country. As far as scamming, I have reported every incidence of someone asking me for money before a first meeting. All the website asked me for was proof of that ( e.g. an email asking for money). In every case, the lady's profile was removed. But you can't have a lady's profile removed just because she didn't like you after you met. They are not obligated to love you just because you bought the ticket to her country. That's why I, and the website, recommend you spend as much time as possible with communication to see if there might be a connection before you jet-set to their country thinking that you have an easy girlfriend. If its too easy, you could be in for a divorce as soon as she gets the green card. I agree with many observations here. First, if you are in your 40s ( or older), forget about a 20 something contacting you. Try for a 30 something or older. 20 year olds just don't want a guy in their 40s or beyond. Its just basic human biology. Even if you are in your 40s or older, and get replies, it will just end in divorce or worse once she is in your country and has her citizenship. The most honest girls there will consider about a 15 year difference. But beyond that, its probably bull. The site can't keep track of all the failed "romances" because an older guy invites a much younger woman to their country. That's not the websites problem and not in their capabilities. Just keep the age difference about 15 years at max, 20 if you are older than 50, don't send money until you are engaged and have met the person at least 3 times and have dated 6-12 months, and... most important... have treated it like a normal dating situation... not a "hey, I can get you a visa" situation. Elena's Models is not responsible for the stupidity and naivete constantly being shown by western guys. It's not a "buy a wife" website. So stop treating it as that. Contact the girls you want, show em your best, date for a while, then see if it would work out. By the way, desperation is a very unattractive quality... in any nation.
