Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Russian Mail Order Brides - Business Insider
Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Russian Mail Order Brides
Dozens of sites advertise beautiful, foreign brides, and plenty draw skepticism. How can all those women possibly be so beautiful? Are they just out to scam lonely American men?
An employee of the website RussianLoveMatch.com recently did a Reddit Ask Me Anything to clear up questions people have about the service.
We talked to the site and they confirmed the Reddit user is really an employee. She talks about how to avoid scams, why the women are so beautiful and how you can meet one.
The photos featured are real women with profiles on the site.
A: I feel kind of uneasy sometimes, thinking about men who literally think you can buy women. You can't. Many guys think you can.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: We have women between the ages of 18 through late 50's. Some are indeed really hot. Circumstance? Who knows. Judging from their photos and videos, they're doing okay. Not rich, but not digging potatoes out of the frozen tundra.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: To ensure the women are who they say they are, we review their photo IDs (passports, licenses) and make a copy for our records. This generally gets rid of identity thieves, celebrity photos, and Boris pretending to be Natasha. That and we have live video streaming, so men can see the women themselves.
The women must also record a submit a validation video in which they state they are using the service of their own free will, that they will not accept money to participate on the site, and that they will not request money or gifts from our members.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: Most women join the site because they're curious or adventurous, want to expand their dating pool, etc. The women aren't clamoring to leave Russia like many Westerners think. In fact, getting a Visa and moving thousands of miles away from their home is pretty grueling, as you can imagine.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: I'd tell you to take a look at the profiles (we have nearly 10,000 women), message a few ladies who appeal to you, be polite and respectable at all times, and take it from there. Also, have realistic expectations.

A: No. If I recall, the man in that movie ordered the woman without meeting her first, which isn't realistic. Also, he called customer service in one scene and got a voicemail. We're available 24/7 to meet all your Russian bride needs.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: We actually would, but due to all the "mail order bride" stereotypes sites like Groupon won't work with us.

A: You're referring to a green card scammer. It happens, so you should choose your mate wisely, not just because she's hot.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: I hear success stories all the time. Many couples email us their pictures and stories for the testimonials page. Most of the horror stories I heard came from our customer service department about men who literally expected to buy a bride and were mad when a woman didn't do what they wanted (meet on command, chat on command, marry on command.)
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: This happens, yes. There are risks to Russian dating, as with any other form of dating, but if you take your time, choose wisely, and use a little common sense you can minimize the risk of being duped.
Questions and answers provided by RussianLoveMatch.com on Reddit, edited for clarity.
A: The success rate is impossible to calculate because we don't keep tabs on members or the status of their relationships.
