Look guys! I have been to Ukraine 15 times. As a matter of fact, I am writing this review from the Fire Inn in Kiev. I have experienced my fair share of disappointments while on CharmDate and their affiliate sites in Asia. So far I have wasted at least three trips to Ukraine and Thailand to meet a woman. You are going to run into a lot of women on this site that are working with a local agency to suck as much money as they can out of you through chats and letters. Many women have been given a computer and this is their way of generating income. Since the war in Eastern Ukraine started, many women have moved to other cities like Kiev and have no other source of income. Beware of any women from Donetsk, Luhansk or. Any other eastern Ukraine city.

On this current attempt, I am in Kiev, but so far, no luck meeting the women I came to meet I have made contact with the agency, or someone who is claiming t be with the agency. Tomorrow (Monday) I will know for sure if she is another scam. I have had some luck on other sites in meeting real women and I have worked with independent match makers. I have met at least 25 women over the last 6 years or so.

Always make the woman prove to you that she is real by photo or video. Never send flowers or other gifts unless you get pictures back with the women that the delivery has taken place. I think the agencies are the bigger actor in the scam. All these professional modeling type photos do not show the real woman. Demand natural photos.

All ladies are required to write a standard introduction letter. They are very general and the site insets your name to personalize the letter. The agencies send our masses of letters to men just like a big fishing net. The woman has no idea they are sending the into letter. They just want to get you on the hook for more letters and chats. Now there are many women that do write personal letters.

You can tell when a an agency is sending out a broadcast of letters. You will get multiple letters from ladies in the same city. This is all done by people at the agency, not the web site. The web site is just a platform to make money, but they need the local agencies and exploit women without work. Recently I have been told agencies are going into cities like Luhansk and Donetsk knocking on doors to find desperate women. They give them a free photo session and laptop and put them to work.

I am playing the game too, just to make sure I meet a real women. Before i travel, I set up several dates so that I have a chance of meeting a real women. Like today, while one woman says she is sick today, I set up a dinner with another women.

I have had women who I met lie, and I have kicked them to the curb. And they area all gorgeous. I think the conditions in Ukraine make women do things they may not normally do just to survive.

You can be sure to meet many women by signing up for the tours. A Foreign Affair has many to choose from. And I do not work for them and have never taken a tour. Too expensive.

Bottom line, is there are some real women, but only a few honest ones. The web site is just a vehicle and it is the tactics of the agencies that make these waters full of sharks. The women are told by the agencies never to give out their contact information because the money flow will end if they do.

Use common sense. No twenty something or younger wants to be with a old fat guy with grey hair. They are sitting with you for the good time and gifts. Try and find a older women over 35 from a small town in Western Ukraine. Stay away from big cities and eastern Ukraine. If you want to play, Kiev is full of strip clubs and Bangkok has many Soapy Bars and BJ clubs.

Stay away from the chat on Anastasia.com. They rip you off by accelerating the timer. I did a study of my time and they steal 15-30% by make the chat timer go fast.

Then even if you do find a honest women, which I have, she may be too afraid to leave her family. That has also happened to me.

Hope my rant includes some worthwhile information.

Gotta run and buy some pink roses and get over to Davinci's Fish Club for a date with Oksana, a over 40 women.

I think the best bet is to just come here to live and retire. Then you can meet women the old fashion way, by meeting them through friends, the fitness club, or church.

Good luck guys and don't believe one word. Make them prove everything.

Regards, WRS

UPDATE July 2015

His is my update to the trip I made to Kiev earlier this Spring. I met Oksana, the over 40 woman who drove in from Chernhiv, Ukraine. She did have a nice little Cooper Mini, which was encouraging. A woman with a real job and a car. She was of course pretty hot and dressed as most Ukraine women do, very nice.

Fast forward, the meeting lasted about 3 hours because she had to return to work. Once again she did not demonstrate any affection or act out the things that were written in many of her letters to me. Bottom line, she told me she never wrote any of the letters, the agency had been writing them. She told me she was appauld by what the agencies are doing to the men who pay to come to Ukraine. She has repeatedly requested that her profile be removed from CharmDate, but that has not been done. I communicate with Oksana by text and told her I still, get letters from her even after out meeting in Kiev. She is not writing these letters and they prove that allot of the agencies in Ukraine are part of a big scam dating industry.

There are many other examples I can give you, but just believe me, Ukraine agencies cannot be trusted and they are the problem on these web sites. The web site owners of CharmDate in KW. Oon, Hong Kong won't do anything about the fraud because they like the money too much. The agencies and the web site owners are complicit in this big scam going on across the globe.

For me, I am done and all the thousands of dollars spent on the web sites, traveling to meet woman was largely a waste of time. What I care about is not the money so much as it was the years of searching that have been wasted.

If you are going to play the game and go on these web sites, stay with the sites that are based in the USA who can't scam you so easily. And these you can seek some recourse if you find out the agency is comitting fraud. Verify everything and never take a trip until the woman proces she is real and is the person writing the letters.

Best of luck to all you guys. At least you have the balls to do something like this.
