I read the reviews on here and while most are negative, I still decided to give the agency a chance to see how they compared to another agency in Ukraine. Big mistake. After almost 14 months and a trip to Ukraine, Charming Brides agency just isn't worth it.

I started off as most guys probably do by trying to contact a few ladies on the site. After what I read from others, I thought it would be better to try for video chats instead of letter writing. Basically it was to see if the lady was really interested and make sure it was a lady and not some bloke writing letters. Well, that took far more more effort than it should have just to connect with a girl. Most of the time, the lady was not in town or available or some other reason. However, she was interested in letter writing though but that is not the same as a video chat. I asked the "personal assistants" several times about this but they always had some type of spin story as to why a lady could not do a video chat. I suggested the lady choose a date and time and I would accommodate her schedule but that didn't work. I finally said how would I meet a lady in the office if she could not even meet for a video chat? And once again, I got another spin story from the agency.

Anyway, I finally hopped on a plane to Poltava Ukraine only to find out things there were worse. I understand the agency is a business and has to make money but that does not mean it is fine for them to be deceitful. Previously agreed prices were not honored and while two of the staff members seemed to attempt to be helpful, they really only care about generating as much Euro as they can for the agency. And that is keeping you communicating with one (or several women) as long as possible in order for you to keep providing the agency with money.

Not all of the girls on the site are fake because I did finally manage a few dates but keep in mind many have local boyfriends (and some live with them too) so be advised. The agency won't tell you this upfront but when I was there in person, an interpreter who was actually very sympathetic told me. It was a learning experience but I am going to return to the other Ukraine agency that I previously used and had better results.

In summary, I would not recommend Charming Brides to a friend.
