I joined Anastasia in March 2014, before I joined I read as many reviews as I could, some very positive some very negative. From these I formed my own opinions and I am glad that I made the right decision to join. I have met my future partner here and I am thankful for this and pleased that I made the right decision. I have had the opportunity to chat to thousands of very beautiful women, and have enjoyed every minute. The Ladies from the Ukraine have a far better view on life and values than Western women. They are positive, knowledgeable and show maturity far beyond their age. Of course the photos are professional and so they should be, but everyone that I spoke to or corresponded with readily supplied natural photos, they are proud too. I would further add, do not be afraid of age differences, all that I have spoken with, very openly state that they do not want a young, buck, they all see their future with an older, more mature and stable person, so enjoy your life it is as precious to them as it is to you! Like everything in life there are always bad apples in every barrel, they are not too difficult to spot and Anastasia take every effort to remove them. Always use your own common sense; if you are in doubt of something then you are probably correct. It is far easier to say yes or no or walk away on the internet.
I have had reason to use their help line on two occasions, one for a technical video link problem (my computer) and one to query a promotional item. On both occasions I received very prompt and helpful service and advice. Excellent; that is the function of a helpline.
Yes; there is a cost involved in using this site, it can be expensive, when you look it is no more expensive than any other, you know what you pay for, nothing hidden as other sites do. I have used the video links and they far exceed other sites that I have used. Good sized screen to view and I will say it adds so much more to the experience! On another dating site I got a video screen of just 3 cm X 2 cm (roughly 1 inch) I could not see and at exactly the same cost as this site, absolutely no comparison.
I will add the following, this is not a shill posting, and I am nothing to do with Anastasia or any of its associated companies. This is my honest opinion and I am entitled to that.
