My wife and I are celebrating our 13th anniversary on August 3rd. We met through Elena's Models and have never been happier. After reading some of the comments here, I had to post a review. There seems to be a delusion that the site is magic and everyone will respond to every single communication. Let's be real, if it were easy to find someone, everyone would be married and happy. Unfortunately, this is not the case. You are dealing with real people on this site and yes, there are scammers, professional daters, and even gold diggers as these are real people. It is up to you to find your match. Sending letters that say "Yo, what's up" doesn't cut it. I met my wife in August, 2007 and we exchanged letters until January 21,2008 before I went to visit. I saved all letters in word. We exchanged 1.57M words in that time. There is a big difference between a dating site and a marriage site. The women you meet here are looking for someone willing to make a commitment. They don't want to simply kick it. If you aren't able to put in the time or the financial commitment to bring a woman here, it is best for you to hang out a eharmony. This site is real... most of the women are real... I just want to say thank you Elena's Models. This my third and last marriage. Your site made us both very happy.
