 Questions
about service
 Who
can use your service?
We cater our service mostly
for the following groups:
Professionals
and businessmen from early 30-th to late
50-th, well established and financially
secure, who know exactly what they want
in life
Farmers
of all ages, who have difficulties in
finding suitable life partner in Australia
or USA
Men
of various walks of life, who do not have
time or don't want to go through inefficiency
of conventional introduction.
Keep in mind that the whole process of
bringing your Russian bride in Australia
or United States is complicated and requires
certain expenses (visa, airfare, Government
fees...). These costs can become a problem
for someone on a budget. |
How
long the whole process takes?
|
It really depends on particular
circumstances. If you are very lucky you
can enjoy life together with your Russian
wife in about 6-9 months. But more often
it would be somewhere from 9 to 18 months.
|
How
will I know this is not a scam?
RUSSIAN
BRIDES is a “brick and mortar”
Australian
company - not a dodgy Internet
agency with unknown country of origin
and history. We have been around since
2000 and welcome any inquiries. Our credentials
speak for themselves and we have impeccable
reputation in the industry.
However, we wish to make it absolutely
clear - no one can give you 100% guarantee
regarding other person's intentions. Besides,
there is no such a thing as 100% scammer
free Internet dating site. If any site
claims that it doesn't have a single scammer
on its books - these people are lying
to you. Despite all our best efforts there
is always a chance that the odd scammer
has slipped through our guards. Such a
nature of the online dating! And we are
very straight forward about it. Therefore,
it is ultimately our clients responsibility
to make sure that they exercise caution
and seek professional advice when necessary.
We are always there and ready to help
our clients. |
Payments
on your site - are they secure?
Security is a central issue at RUSSIAN
BRIDES. This is precisely the reason
why we do not have secure payment facilities
of our own.
Instead we chose to delegate such a
sensitive matter to one of the world's
undisputed leader in e-commerce business
- 2Checkout.com
It handles all online transactions for
us, as well as for other 300.000 services
world wide since 1999.
However, if the online payment arrangement
doesn't suit you, you can always pay
via Direct Bank Transfer.
|
Why
there are not that many women on your site?
Because we do not want compromise our
reputation and our integrity.
We run compulsory verification security
checks on all women who apply to be
included in our Photo
Catalogue. We consequently publish
only about 15% of all applications we
receive. On top of that we automatically
delete all ladies profiles older than
12 months. To make sure that in our
catalogue there are no profiles of ladies
who got married years ago!
Quality versus quantity - that's RUSSIAN
BRIDES motto.
Thousands (some times even tens of thousands)
beautiful young ladies with a “model
like” appearance on a web site
means only one thing - a scam. Or negligence.
As a professionals who are working in
this field for many years we know far
too well that it is simply impossible
to maintain up-to-date database of such
a size. It would be economically unworkable.
And that's the databases of living
people we are talking about...
Those who have been in the military
would understand the enormous magnitude
of this tusk even by the Government's
standards!
Apart from that - the 99% of all large
Internet agencies have no idea where
even these photographs and addresses
have come from. And how many years these
photos have been around. Their business
affiliates in Russia are getting a percentage
of every address sold and they are quite
happy to provide their western partners
with whatever photographs they can get
hold on...
 "We
have selected over 20,000 beautiful,
sincere women, from all walks of life,
as potential mates for our male clients."
"We
have over 18,000 Russian Women who want
to become Russian brides."
"Presenting
8328 ladies selected from 44264 applicants!"
"400,000
real and family-oriented Russian ladies
are waiting for you."
These and similar false claims should
be as a red flag to you - the agency
who declares that is a "NO GO"
zone!

How
often do you update your catalogue?

Questions
about Russian women
Is
it true that Russian women usually make good wives?
|
Usually - yes. Russian
women are affectionate, family oriented
and comfortable with their femininity.
They have a strong desire for a stable
home and family life. Russian women expect
their man to be the head of the family.
Over–independence and feminism have
not spoiled their belief in traditional
family values.
|
Why
do Russian women look to the west?
They are looking for a
responsible life-partner which is a difficult
thing to find in modern Russian society.
Russian men aged 30-50 have a very hard
time adjusting to the new economy. Western
men offer these women more security and
stability and the opportunity to fall
in love for a lifetime.
Besides, there are 10.000.000 more women
than men in Russia. For example in Volgograd
alone, city with population around 1.000.000
people, there are approximately 10% more
women than men. Which means that around
100.000 beautiful women in just one city
will never have a chance to find a partner.
Is it good enough reason to start looking
for a partner elsewhere? |
Is
Language a barrier?
|
To a certain extent -
yes. However, most of the ladies in our
catalogue know some English. Some are
even fluent. The English language has
been a foreign language of a choice in
the majority of Russian schools, colleges
and Universities for at least 50 years.
The exposure to modern American popular
culture (movies, music, fashion) as well
as computers has made English second language
in Russia.
|
Are
they sincere?
It is not possible to read other people
minds! Most Russian women join RUSSIAN
BRIDES for a chance to find the right
man for them and create a stable home
with a loving partner.
We have certain verification security
checks in place as a standard procedure
prior to publishing any information
on our site. If there are any doubts
about a particular lady, we do not publish
her profile at all.
However, we can not totally eliminate
the possibility that despite all our
efforts, some of them are not sincere.
In case of any suspicious circumstances
such as request for additional payments,
air tickets or visa assistance, possibility
that you communication with lady is
not going directly to her, etc. please
contact us without delay. We will address
this issue promptly.
|
What
kind of age difference is all right?
|
A recent UNICEF report
stated that Russia, out of all countries
in Europe, retains its leadership in early
marriages. In Russian families men traditionally,
being a breadwinners, are more mature
than women. Age difference around 10 years
is regarded as absolutely normal. If,
for example, you are 40 years of age you
could be easily married to the lady in
her late 20's. There is nothing extraordinary
when the difference even bigger however,
more than 20 years in age difference is
not that common and socially acceptable.

Girl
asked me to send her some money for airfare. What
should I do?
If you have any doubts you should
Offer
her to buy ticket yourself and then
send it over to her with a courier because
it is often cheaper to purchase it overseas
than in Russia (which is true, actually),
For
that purpose ask her to send you a fax
or e-mail with a scanned copy of her
passport page with attached valid entry
visa in her name.
If she has no valid entry visa or she
will be insisting on sending money instead
of air ticket - perhaps she was not
going to buy it at all?
The bottom line - do not send money to
the lady you haven't met yet.
|
How
do I get to meet these Ladies?
How
soon will I get a reply from her?
|
Generally speaking - within
1 week. Our system automatically generates
an e-mail letter to the Lady, notifying
her that you have posted a message to
her. A letter of notification goes to
her e-mail address. After that it is up
to her when she replies.
|
She
is not in your Photo Catalogue, why is that?
As we have already said, we run compulsory
verification security checks on all
women who apply to be included in our
Photo
Catalogue. We consequently publish
only about 15% of all applications we
receive.
It could be that this particular lady
has registered with us but failed to
supply her photos in required time frame.
Or her photos were of a poor quality.
Or she failed to pass one or more of
our verification checks... There could
be a number of reasons why the particular
lady does not have her profile published
in our catalogue.
However, as she remains registered with
us she can use our service to initiate
the contact with our male clients.
|
I've
just registered and already have some ladies contacted
me. How do they know?
It is because you have left check-box
"Notify ladies about my registration"
checked during the registration process.
When this box is checked ALL our female
members receive notification in their
email about new man registration. And
naturally, some of them are very eager
to be among the first... You can ignore
these contacts or you can get a membership
and reply to them. This is up to you.
If you do not want to be contacted simply
uncheck this box upon registration.
