Is it Worth Dealing With Marriage Agency to Find Russian Bride?

Olga asked:


Many foreign man in their search of their real soul mate come to the idea of looking for their bride in former USSR countries – Russia, Ukraine, etc. Many of them decide to use international marriage agencies for this. Is it worth doing?

So you have found an agency, you have looked through Russian women gallery, there are several pretty girls that you feel interested in, but what to do next? Now there are two possible ways and you need to choose one of them. One possible way is to choose one Russian lady, and to dedicate all your time and efforts on conquering her. Of course, this way doesn’t need a lot of money and time, as she will be answering to you not more than twice a week through a marriage agency, and also this way may seem to be the most natural and honest one. If you are very lucky she will be interested in you the same as you are, you like each other on photos and through letters, but then time comes for meeting, and here nobody knows what can happen.

Meeting is absolutely not the same as letters, it is the most crucial moment in your relations. Again if you are lucky, she will like you and you will like her. But unfortunately it often happens that a person in reality isn’t the same as in letters. Are you ready to waste so much time and money and take a risk with only one Russian lady? Isn’t it more reasonable to have several back ups? It will give you higher chances and avoid disappointment.

Fred, a client of an international marriage agency shares his experience: “I’d advise to dedicate most of your energy to one girl that strikes your fancy. However, I suggest you review girls catalog for “back up girls”. Make a list of them (2 or 3) and perhaps send these ladies a cheerful note and mention that if you ever get to their city you’d like to meet them. I have had the misfortune of dedicating all my time to one girl then visiting her and had no chemistry and did not see her but once. So I had a whole week with nothing to do except having a few random dates with no success. So I missed a week of work and had the expense of an apartment, meals and airline fare all for nothing. Hopefully, if you carefully select a lady, correspond frequently, do a few video phone calls and speak with the agency about your lady you will find the woman of your dreams on your very first try.”
