I have been on the site long enough to know that some women have their photos on other sites. Okay, no problem there. However, when contacted on Marmeladies, they seem to have no recollection of chatting on Charmerly. Marmeladies actually had one of the women on their site make a video of herself telling me she was real. However, she did refuse to use my private email address. So was she earning money from Marmeladies, or just being cautious? I have had two women on Charmerly provide a photo of themselves holding a card with my name. So they were real. I have had a woman on Charmerly tell me flat out we were not a match and forget further correspondence with her. So she obviously was honest and was not after a wage writing to men on the dating site. Of the 4 I invested enough to get their email address... one repeatedly refused to release her address claiming she was a bank executive in Kiev and afraid her computer could be hacked. I have enough information on her to think she really does work for a bank. The next was a model from St. Petersburg. She was way too young, but we corresponded and still have an odd email between us. The third quit writing to me shortly after releasing her personal email address. I think she was genuine, but just quit the correspondence because I really am too old for her. I think she finally agreed with me, the age difference is too great. The fourth is in Moscow and she did reply to a couple of messages on two of my email addresses. She claims she can not access her email account and claims to have sent me emails. I am unsure. I just contacted Charmerly support about this. My question, is email really unreliable in Russia and is it possible she never received my emails? On another occasion I found a suspicious profile and notified Charmerly and that profile disappeared. My general impression... the site is too expensive. I think there is likely an element of truth behind the women... after all telling the truth is easier to remember than lies. I am done with Charmerly... it is a giant sink hole for money. Yes, if you use a translator costs will be higher. However charging what they do for a photo or video is borderline to robbery. I will await their investigation on my Moscow contact. I do like the woman in Moscow. She has my phone number and if she really likes me and eventually phones... great. I can understand some trepidation on her part to phoning... being nervous, language etc. Charmerly is like many of these sites eastern European sites... they high grade their women for looks... and you pay for this. If you want a dating site more like what you find in North America, look at Elena's Models or Ukrainian Date. My Moscow contact explained that women in Russia, at least some of them, just want to be married and age is not a consideration. You have to remember the ratio of men to women is lopsided and men are in short supply.
