Is it easy to find a Russian wife?

Is it easy to find a Russian wife?

Perhaps most men who were lucky in their search for a loved one or who are just thinking of finding a Russian wife would answer, “Of course it is easy, what’s so difficult about it? There are hundreds of thousands of Russian women on various dating sites – just choose the one you like!”

But it only seems easy. We must realize that the percentage of truly good, family oriented girls isn’t that high. Some men I meet at work believe that about 90% of women are scammers. I think that even if they are exaggerating  the number a bit, they are not too far from truth. Men often complain that women post photos that were taken 10 years ago, and when they finally meet, women look 10years older and 20 pounds heavier. Who is to blame here? You should have met your potential date in Skype first, or maybe asked her to send you a recent picture with the date on it.

It is much worse when a woman looks even better that on her photo, and it seems that your mutual happiness is just a step away, but in reality this beautiful woman is already married and meeting you is just her side job. There are many possible scenarios. For example, she can play sick and ask you for the money to buy expensive medicine to help her get better faster so that she can be with you. After you give her the money, you’ll probably never see her again. Or, this woman can go on regular dates with you, and at some point she will tell you a sad story of her sick mother or grandmother who needs a sitter that the family cannot afford. You’ll probably offer her financial help after that. After all, you haven’t come all the way to Russia to spend your time alone in your hotel room. It is not going to be fun to stay here without your date. Most people speak only Russian, so even going to a restroom will be a problem because no one will understand you ))

In another scenario, a girl can ask you to pay for her foreign language courses. She needs them because she met you and fell in love with you at the first sight. However, when you are already back to your country, she will write you a letter saying that she thought things over and decided that you aren’t really her type, or maybe she changed her mind and doesn’t want to marry a foreign man after all.

“What should I do then?” you’ll probably ask. Don’t be shy. Ask her for her phone number. Meet in Skype using an online translator if she doesn’t speak English. Ask her to send you a scanned page of her passport where marriage information is located. Give her a link to this article )) However, these are simple preventive measures, and of course they don’t guarantee anything. You cannot read your date’s thoughts.

What else can be done? Well, a really good dating agency would do. In men’s opinion, 90% of all dating agencies are scammers working together with the women. Pay attention to details, use your intuition, learn from others’ mistakes, and read forum posts written by real users. Do not read reviews – we all know who writes them. Take your search for a wife seriously and minimize the risk of getting into an unpleasant situation.

It is best to use “Individual search” option if an agency offers it. But first learn what exactly you’ll get for the money you pay. Some agencies ask 10000 dollars for the individual search, and all you get are detailed questionnaires of women with several pages of their biography, which won’t tell you who they really are anyway.

In my next article read about the reason why I think the individual search is the best solution.
