So with the advances in social media and instant messengers, this site (and its partners) have gone through extreme measures to maintain their income.

So let's say you are interested in a girl on this site. You give it a shot and buy tokens or whatever the nomenclature is for the currency. Not only do you have to subscribe for a monthly package plan first, but those do not last. Lets break that down first. 1 mail is 10 credits. And thats to read and write btw. So 20 credits roundtrip We shall use that as the base.

$50 gets you 150 credits or 15 messages.
$150 gets you 600 credits or 60 messages.
$300 gets you 1500 credits or 150 messages.

Again thats their monthly packages. So you need one of those to just talk to a model. Yup I said model because that's exactly what they are. Everyone has either Telegram, whatsapp, viber or something similar in those countries. Yet if you ask them for that info, they stand so steadfast about how they cannot do it because they would get banned from the site. But they tell you that the site is succesuful and has a high rate of matches. Sure. Why not but then why are the same girls working there are after 4 years?

The bottomline is that these are not girls looking for a husband or boyfriend. This is their job. They are models. So if you talk to them outside of the site, they get no salary. I know this because one girl broke away from this site and told me that she gets paid for it.

This site like many affiliated are fake and only purpose is to drain your wallet for a girl that never wants you.

You don't believe me? Go find out for yourself.

Dear Sebastian,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We understand your concerns about the costs and experiences on our platform, and we appreciate you taking the time to outline your thoughts.

We deeply regret any misunderstanding and want to assure you that we are committed to resolving any issues you may encounter. Please be reminded that Our platform uses a method called Pay per Use. Pay per Use means that every operation would require a credit balance. As a result, you should refill your credit balance to continue interacting/Chatting with members once your membership credits ran out. Indeed, Membership offers are the ones listed below but with the number of messages you have spent it to, it would mean you've used the "Letter/email" feature on all your credits as 1 letter costs 10 credits:

$50 gets you 150 credits
$150 gets you 600 credits
$300 gets you 1500 credits

However, there are also huge array of communication features that you can use for lasting and practical credit usage, For instance, Live chat. For further clarifications regarding the rates and credit expenditures, please contact us immediately at support@russianbrides.com.

Regarding the profiles on our site, we strive to maintain a community where users can find genuine connections. We encourage all members to reach out to our support team with any concerns or questions about their experiences.

We appreciate your input, and we hope you find the connections you seek.


I was curious to test this site. I bought some credits and went about to meet some women there.

At first glance, I noticed that 95% of the women on this site are very pretty and very attractive. I looked for "less appealing" women and found so little.
This tells me that either this agency is discriminating women of lesser appeal or they have certain criteria that only allow certain women. That's a pretty big red flag.

Next I read the Terms and conditions, I noticed quite a few restrictive limitations. Such as the prohibition of providing your personal information to the girl. This is to ensure that the agency maintains usage of their service. Obviously their service cost credits. These credits are not cheap either.
Basic rule of economics, Provide a service for a cost. Right makes sense. But in this case its Provide service and the idea of a product without delivering it. That's how you create on continuous demand for the service.

Any letter, IM, Camshare or phone call is monitored by one of their staff. Very intrusive and I find it violates my privacy.

If you are a US Citizen and you wanted to marry one of these girls under a K-1 Visa, you would need to provide proof on interaction on top of meeting physically. If you was to try and build relation on this site, you would never be able to provide proof of interaction without saving every message and chat interaction. This would amount to a lot of money. Not to mention the congestion for the logistics of travelling and meeting.

Which brings me to my next issue. These girls are not looking for men abroad. Most of the reviews are faked. These girl work for the agency directly. They are the product. The agency gets paid for your credits and the girls get a portion of those amount. The longer they milk, the better off they are. I have "probed" several girls. Every time, their interactions and behavior was scripted because they all acted the same. But when offering to meet or share private info, they referred me to ask the site administration. In their T&C, it clearly states that the site will not provide it. In other words, it's a loop. If you try to provide you personal info, they reject it. But they will swear up and down that they want to know you better and feed you ideas of a relationship and a future together.

Let me be clear. I spoke to several Ukrainian women. At the time of this review, that country is at war. You would think logically that they would want to get out. If you wanted to meet one, you would have to meet them outside of Ukraine. Passport, plane tickets, Visas. Do you really want someone other than your model to see that stuff? Nope its private information.

Let's play devils advocate here, I spend over $3000 in credits to meet this girl. We set a date and time to meet. I travel all the way there and she ghosts me. The site does not take responsibility for that. Neither should it. The same could happen if you had her direct IM.

I also reversed looked up some of those photos of these models, and low and behold. All of their pictures were associated with a dating scam site. In this day and age, you would think they had social media accounts. I am fairly certain that these girls are under a gag order for their social media pictures. And yes, I have reversed looked up over 25 girls to come to that assessment.

So in other words, these girls work for the site and their sole purpose is to make you spend money to interact with them.

This app has been really helpful in my dating life as I am a busy professional with little time to sit at a bar. Better yet, the woman goes first, meaning that it can reduce the likelihood of harassment or unsolicited pressure from men. The app has updated safety features and question prompts to break the ice. I would highly recommend to those trying to find a match without a significant cost.

Russian bride is very easy and simple to use the fun features once you subscribe. They have a good selection of members. I met someone very special to me right here. I have tried several online dating sites including Russianbrides. Other sites are harder to use and don't offer as much insight into the people you're interested in. I have received more responses and requests from the Russianbrides site than any other site I have tried. I would recommend Russian brides to anyone, even if you are just looking for friendship, I have met a few people who will keep in touch with me as friends.

Thanks for the connection. Maria and I are very happy. We both are grateful to God for uniting with the help of Russianbrides. We wish you all the same happiness. God can bless you. Absolutely the best dating site! If you have a problem with a scammer, these people take it seriously. The profile images are much larger than elsewhere. Easy to block profiles if necessary.

The women on this site are really sincere and interested in relationships. The conversations are more than superficial. This site is definitely for those who are ready for commitment. A good place to meet interesting people and maybe find someone special. I recommend you give this site a try and have no doubt that it is just another boring dating site.

Russianbrides allowed me to meet a wonderful person in 1 month, she is smart, hardworking, sweet, compassionate. Everything I was looking for in a woman. I had a few that I tried before I met her. She was the first and hopefully the last I'll ever have to see. Thank you Russian Brides.
