Russian Dating

The world of online dating has been growing at almost breakneck speed for the last ten years or so – and this has been particularly true in the last 18 months, as the worldwide economic downturn has forced us all to tighten our belts wherever we can. While most areas of the online dating world have experienced increases in the number of customers they cater to, perhaps no segment has seen as much, or more rapid, growth as those dating and

marriage sites that seek to bring Russian women together with men from Western Europe and North America. Considered by many to be the fastest growing area in internet dating, it sometimes seems that a new website devoted to helping men find attractive Russian women springs up every month – and a quick search will reveal literally dozens of sites out there competing for your dating dollar. The question is – how do you make certain that you choose the site that is best for you?

When you stop to think about it, it is no wonder that Russian dating sites are one of the fastest growing and most popular segments of online dating. Russian women are known for their exotic good looks and eroticism, as well as for their intelligence and friendliness. Some men looking to form either a passing or a permanent relationship with a Russian woman might actually find themselves wondering why a woman that looks like that would even give them the time of day, much less be willing to form a relationship. The fact is that most Russian women don't care about what a man looks like. Most Russian women are looking for stability – both economic and in a relationship – and have found that stability is hard to find in the area where they live. Given the widespread, government provided access to the internet in the states of the former Soviet Union, tens of thousands of these women have taken to the internet to find their perfect mate, and this accounts for the numb! er of sites that are springing up all the time.

But not all Russian dating sites are created equal – nor do you want to do business with just anyone. Here are five things to look for to help you choose the Russian dating site that will best suit your needs.

1.Look For a Proven Track Record – While, as we stated above, it seems that a new Russian dating site is launched every month, when it comes to internet dating newer is definitely not better. Particularly if you are just starting in the world of dating Russian women on the internet, you would do well to look at those sites that have a proven track record of success that stretches back a number of years. The odds are far better that a site that has been serving customers for a decade will be able to do a better job for you than a site that has been around six weeks. For example, a site such as Dream-Marriage.com has been in business for more than a decade.

2.Look for a Wide Selection of Women – While it is easy to be dazzled by the come-ons and the pictures of gorgeous Russian women adorning the front page of virtually every Russian dating site, make certain you dig a little deeper before making any commitment. Spend some time looking at the directory of the women who utilize the site (it should be accessible without a membership) and make certain that it is fairly extensive – several thousand at least. The site should inform you not only if the woman in question is online, but also which of the site's services she is able to utilize.

3.Look For a Wide Selection of Services – One of the biggest mistakes that can be made is being dazzled by the women on a site, only to find out after you have forked over some of your hard earned money that you are limited in how you can communicate with them. The more choice that a Russian dating site offers you, the better. These choices, along with email and group chats, should also include live, real time chat, live video chat, and live audio chat services. Additionally, the site should offer 24/7 customer service, fast problem resolution, anti-scam protections, an extensive FAQ and a large database of articles and source materials to make certain that your customer experience is the best it can be.

4.Look For Flexible Pricing – One thing that everyone wants to avoid is paying for services that they will never use and have no interest in. Rather than going for a site that charges an exorbitant membership fee which includes services you can't imagine yourself ever wanting, it is usually better to look for a site that charges a modest membership fee and then charges only for the services that you are actually going to use. This is usually done by a credits or points system in which you buy a number of credits and then spend them on the site as you see fit – only on the services you desire.

5.Look for a Strong, Effective Anti-Scam policy – The unfortunate fact of the matter is that, regardless of how careful and savvy an internet user you may be, scamming is widespread in dating sites. It is important that the site you choose to use has a strong commitment to keeping scamming from their site, and takes concrete steps to ensure a safe experience for their customers. Look around any site you are considering and see if they go that extra mile – for instance, if they actually contact the women on their site to verify passport information – before signing up. Your safety, both online and offline, is always the most important thing.

In the end, choosing a Russian dating site is really like anything else – it is a matter of personal preferences, and finding a site that you think will be best able to cater to those preferences. This may take a small amount of work on your part, but once you have found the right site, that is when the fun begins!
