I joined this site about 1 year ago as a standard member. I'm kind of shy and conservative lady who think that a man should take initiative. The search results brought a lot of interesting guys, but I was not lucky to catch attention of anyone. And after a one year I decided to remove my pictures from there, and, at least, hide my profile. And I was in shock, when I found that I CANNOT DO THAT FOR FREE! I MUST PAY THEM to have opportunity to hide my profile! Please be careful: even you are a member you cannot delete you picture, and you cannot delete you profile whenever you decided to do that.

In summary, I would not recommend Russian Cupid to a friend.

This website is probably 70-90% scam, but the rest seem genuine. This can easily be deflected however, by writing information in your descriptions boxes to the effect that you WILL NOT send out any money over the internet and that you are NOT rich.

If you do this then you will hardly get any attention at all, but the attention that you do get is more likely to be genuine.

I was a regular member about 3 years ago for 12 months & only came across two women who seemed genuinely interested, despite excessive efforts and at least many hundreds of interest ticks on my part.

The first one came along after about 6 months and agreed to exchange messages with me over hotmail. She seemed very enthusiastic (almost TOO enthusiastic), about meeting me, I had some very nice compliments from her regarding my looks and she didn't ask me for any money. - It seemed too good to be true so I told her about my radical Right wing political views and sent her a questionnaire about her background.

That didn't go down too well and she told me in her broken English that we should stop contacting each other, but... (Read the full review)

I have been a member for over one year. First, the good. Many members, easy to make contact with the women. Site does a very good job of acting on reports of scammers. The bad: countless scammers. I have personally reported and had removed at least a dozen scammers. Site allows women to place a profile without a photo. Beware of these, as often it is some guy operating out of Africa. Watch out when you get an IM message on the site; often it is from a "woman" whose profile has no photo. Ask the person sending you the IM if they are from Ghana or Nigeria. Almost always they say yes, and then hang up. Report this as abuse to the site, and the site will remove them. Site does a good job of removing reported scammers, but does not screen women who place a profile there. Also, there is some kind of security breach on this site. I will log on for awhile, and then, sure enough, I get several emails from women who are not on the site. Naturally, when I check the email address, the woman is on an anti-scammer website. I give this site... (Read the full review)

So, after 1 month my experience: The site itself is good, the idea, layout and the design. No problem here. The REAL problem is that they allow every fake person to register. I reported every day at least 20 fake pictures, profiles. I'm tired already that they "first class, anti scam measurements" are non existent. I got 100 emails, about 300 interests, i checked 1100 profiles and send out many messages, interests. About 3 turned out to be true. I was looking for a girl from 18 to 30 years, without kids. So maybe if you look for someone older, like 45 with 2 kids, maybe you gonna have better chances.... I don't know. My experience was really bad, waste of the time and money. They have zillions of members, but most of them are fake (i think about 80% from my age). I got every day dozens of interests, messages from scammers, ghana scammers and scammers from all over the world. Nobody was real and ready to give Skype address, nobody had a camera or had access to the Internet cafe or anything else. Just automated messages every time, even when my reply was "Go and %^&* yourself, you... (Read the full review)

I have met a couple of real girls but for every 1 you meet you meet 10 fakes, if their country is anything other than Russia such as Italy or America they are fakes and the site knows this but continues to let them sign on

This sums up the site
