Despite my better judgement I opted in for an adventure. Three dates later I find that I pretty much know how this works.

You pay the bureau for meeting the girl. Compared to what a normal monthly wage is here that sum is absolutely monstrous. Unless there is a translator. Then half of the money the translator gets goes to the agency. And the translators hourly wage is huuuuuge compared to ordinary salaries here. Notice the tendency. We are cash cows.

As stated I met three girls and I conclude that this is very much for the money all the way around. Apart from the cash cow naturally. We go muuuh with glazed eyes. One of the girls completely lost interest after my response to her asking which diamond ring she should buy. I told her which one without indicating that I would pay for it. Shortly after she called for a taxi.

And btw do not believe that age doesn't matter. The bureau convinced me that wasn't a problem despite again my better judgement. Diamond girl was such a one.

I'm a fairly good looking guy who was mainly in it for the experience. As such I don't regret it. But... (Read the full review)

After 12 months of membership on this site I can say with 100% certainty that's it's a scam. (Or at the very least, a very greedy business.)

Frankly, you'd have to be out of your mind to use this site. Especially since there are so many other less expensive sites out there. The main problem with this site is that it takes a long time and a lot of money just to get the point of communicating directly with the women. Before you can do that that though, you've already invested a lot (Between $8- $10 for each letter) and you've probably invested a lot of time creating rapport with the woman just to get to the point where you can "ask for her number." Be prepared to pay about $65 for her contact information too and she likely won't even have an email address.
Remember this is a business which is solely out to make money. Most of the people working there are hardened to love and romance too since they have been doing it for so long. They don't really care if you find a compatible woman or not. What they care about is keeping you communicating with... (Read the full review)

Evil Charming Brides Total Scam!!
I have been with the company for over a six months now and have wasted over hundreds of dollars with this evil bride site. The girls are all fake, some are stolen photos. Your personal assistance is a scammer. They will write you romantic letters and try to have video chats with the girls (scammers). They work as a team. I have purchased two address and phone numbers from this site. I called the first girl and she said she don't want to talk to me and have no time. I have this problem for a whole month. But before I purchased her phone number she said she is fallen in love with me and cannot wait to talk to me. I called the second girl and she picked up the phone but spoke in brief Russian then hang up. I tried to email them both but never got an email back. There are no real girls here for foreigners. They have no happy couples or testimonial to show you. They never had a marriage from this agency. Please stay away and save your money.
Sincerely,
John

This site will provide you with a personal assistance (scammer) and try to help you find a honest lady (scammer). All the girls are fake or scammers. They are professional daters. The agency is a total scam. All the girl profiles are as old as the company itself. No marriages ever come out from this site. No happy ending here!! Do not fall for the pretty photos!!!! Stay away and be safe. Don't be fool by the kind and romantic words. If you want a Ukrainian wife take a trip or tour with "A Foreign Affair" to Ukraine and see if someone at the event will like you. Good luck in your search. Pass on the message for the good mans out there. Very bad site!!

I have been a member of Charming Brides for three years. I have been to several cities to meet their ladies; Odessa, Sumy, Zaporozhye, Kherson, Nikolaev. I have traveled to Ukraine about ten times, so I think I am more than qualified to make an accurate review of this site. DO NOT USE IT! Management has changed, the owner is never available, the new managers are liars, I have caught managers writing letter on the girls behave..the girls were not even in town. I am trying to be objective, but there is no positive aspects of this website. I am more than willing to chat with anyone on this subject, I have nothing to hide just volumes of horror stories to tell anyone who is looking for Ukrainian ladies to date.

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

I am sorry editor I have to give this site a low rating because of the absolute failure I have found with this site and I am sorry if my words have to be one that shows great upset because it does. I tried contacting them twice.

The first time I did it was with their online contact system and left a message there. I got no response back

The next time I did it was by email and contacted one of the administrators on the site because on their contact form section they actually post the emails of the different administrators to contact in case of anything. Well I did email them and guess what-No response as well.

This site seems to be just like the others out there-because it was just a failure for me.

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

I too am a member of this site and have dealt with other sites as well. I decided to check out this site because of the harsh dealings with other sites especially with its customer service and with their harsh expenses!

I can tell you that I am no fan after my dealings with them. For me customer service that some who are as I would like to call them the "Charming Brides Idolizers" who claim are "professional" is absolutely NOT!

Case in point: Upon registration one gets an email message that can give one the ability to contact the admin on the site.

Well I did do so about a particular issue and up till this time there has been no response from these so-called "professionals" None! Absolutely Zero!

For me the so-called "high standard" is really a low standard and shows they have failed at being at the "high standard" mark that they themselves may claim to be!

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

I am not against posting my picture if I have to post one but I had to put this review up because why does everyone only see things from the service side. Does it mean that the ethical side of things has to fall because service is "great"?

Here is my experience with charmingbrides.com

1) Its ethnic balance lacks greatly and they are ethnically bakcward in terms of advertisements, staff composition, articles, and even testimonial evidence which is majorly one-ethnic focused (usually caucasian focused). These ethnic imbalances are cause for concern in terms of the perceptions of other ethnic customers! In communication with administration my own personal difficulty has arisen in getting those in charge to understand their need for a more multiethnic tone on the site. One of the administrators I spoke to told me that there is no such thing in the Ukraine as ethnic prejudice/racism but I went to Wikipedia and quoted an article that clearly showed this and I said that I was on a Russian/Ukrainian speciality forum where I discussed ethnic imbalances. This female administrator did not mention the article but told me she also went to the same forum and that she did not have... (Read the full review)
