What services do you provide?First of all, we provide a place for
single marriage minded foreign men and
Russian women to place their information (photos and profiles) - we have on-line Russian women catalog for foreign men to browse and choose Russian women they would like to contact; plus we give foreign men an opportunity to place their profile and photos in on-line Gentlemen catalog, so singe Russian women would be able to initiate contact with them. Secondly, we help you to establish contact with the Russian women you like - you can
buy woman's postal or e-mail address,
send her letters and get replies fast through our email forwarding system,
order flower and gift delivery to your special Russian girlfriend. Your letters are translated into woman's native language (if she doesn't know English enough to understand your letter well without translation) and delivered to the woman personally. You do not have to pay for the services until you actually start using them - buying addresses, reading or writing letters.

How do I place an ad in your Men's Catalog?You place your information and photo in our
on-line Gentlemen's Catalog by filling in the
Registration form, and it is absolutely free of charge. Then you start getting letters from Russian brides who are potentially interested in correspondence with you and see whether you would like to meet girls who write you - there is no doubt you will get letters if you have a profile: we have
many affiliates - local marriage agencies and dating services in many Russian and Ukrainian cities - who show profiles of foreign men from our on-line Gentlemen catalog to marriage-minded single Russian women, and women send their letters of introduction to men they like. Once you've registered in the Gentlemen on-line catalog, you can always view your information and change it. You also can add or change your photos through the special form.

Are your services free?Our services are free for women but are NOT FREE for men. Since our services are FREE for Russian women, many come to us for help. What kind of help? On the first stage it is help with translation. When ladies come to us they do not know English at all, know it not good enough for meaningful communication, only about one third all our Russian women database think they know English well and would understand you and be able to talk to you without translator's help (by phone or in the letters). Besides, there is a problem of computers: you must agree that communicating by e-mail is the fastest way to get to know each other. Not many people in Ukraine and Russia have personal computers, though the situation is improving. Many women just do not know how to use it. If a girl works as a secretary or a manager and she has access to computer at work, her boss wouldn't appreciate her using a computer at the office for personal needs. Internet cafes are still not that cheap so an average Russian woman could afford using Internet cafe regularly. So, she comes to the marriage agency and asks to help her with sending letters even if she knows English rather well. We do not charge women for our services because it would be rather expensive for them. Besides, Russian women think men who address the agency and pays for the agency service are more serious about finding a Russian wife.

If I buy the address of one of the women would it include a telephone number and email?No. You can only buy a postal address of a woman. We do not sell telephone numbers now - very few of our Russian women would agree to receive a call in the middle of the night (there are still many men who do not remember about the time difference) from a foreign man they do not know. Women usually prefer to give their phone numbers after exchanging several letters, when they know what to talk about, agreed about interpreter, time of telephone conversations, etc. The problem also is that not every woman in our database has the home phone number - sometimes they leave phones of friends, neighbors, relatives, working phones, etc. for their local marriage agency to be able to contact them. And do not treat with disbelief that it is expensive and not very easy to have a telephone installed - it is true, especially for smaller cities. Recently the situation has improved because more and more women can afford mobile phones, but in Russia incoming calls are still not free for some cell-phone companies, so a Russian woman would hardly afford your 30 minutes calls to her mobile. In Ukraine incoming calls to mobiles are free now.

I opened a letter from a lady, then bought her address, and she never replied to me by post?As for the postal addresses you order: we can't make girls reply to the letters they get by post, moreover, we do not control it. We could inquire whether girls receive your letters, but that's all we can do... very often when girls get letters by post they come to us for help - with translation, letter forwarding, etc. and we again on the starting point - a Russian woman wants to correspond using the services of the marriage agency and the man doesn't want to pay the agency for the services. Try to understand - if a lady gets letters at the agency, where they are translated for her, printed and she can reply them very easily just bringing her reply written in her native language on a sheet of paper, and thus a Russian woman can exchange letters with foreign men faster - she would choose the easier way for her. We promise you delivery of your mail as long as you use our web-site: the agencies we work with get commission for the work, and if they do not work in good and honest manner they do not get their money. We can not control the correspondence that goes on OUT of our web-site, sorry. It is more convenient for a lady to correspond using the services of the agency, she may be a client of one, two, three... agencies in her native city; she can get your letter through one agency and then go with it to another and ask to help her with corresponding with you, and you will get contacted by the agency you have never heard about and will be asked about corresponding with the lady using their web-site. As far as our work is concerned in this case, you get what you paid for - postal addresses. If they are wrong - you can contact us and ask to replace them with the addresses of other ladies. If women do not reply you - sorry, we do not control postal correspondence.

How do I know that the girl is still available?We are aiming at having our database "clean" - clean of outdated profiles of Russian women, of scammers, of not interested women. We regularly call every Russian woman in the database to make sure she is still available, needs our services and that her contact information has not changed. We delete those who ask so. Besides, every local marriage agency affiliated with us also does this kind of check. But if you want to be sure - send your inquiry, and we will confirm girl's interest in our services or delete her from the database if she is no longer interested or available.

Can I order delivery of the gift that is not listed?Yes, we can deliver almost anything you want, we just need to know what you want to deliver and to girl from which city: we have
general price-list for most popular gifts and flowers, the prices for these gifts do not vary considerably from city to city. But "non-standard" gifts (for example, English lessons, books, mobile phones, a day in a beauty salon and the like) can vary in price considerably. After your inquiry for the special order we will contact our representative and ask about the price.

I am interested in ordering the E-Mails. IF you can sell me personal E-mails let me know.If you are interested ONLY in direct contact by e-mail, you can buy e-mail addresses of our women-clients. Note, that only
considerably few women have provided their e-mails for direct contact, other Russian women receive your letters at the local marriage agencies, this is called e-mail forwarding. You send your e-mail to a chosen lady, and your e-mail message is received in local marriage agency office of the lady's native city. Our interpreters translate your message into lady's native language (Russian, Ukrainian, or other) and the manager informs the woman on the phone that a message is waiting for her. If it is the first time you contact the lady, together with your letter she receives your profile and photo you have in your profile in Gentlemen Catalog. When she receives your message - women usually prefer to come to the office to pick their letters up - the woman is able to write a response immediately in her local marriage agency's office if she prefers, or she may think it over at home and then bring her reply (when she's ready) to us to translate and forward on to you.

It should have been better with some monthly fee instead of paying letter for letter when at the end only one eventually is of interest!Exactly because we work with different agencies we can't charge a membership fee for unlimited correspondence - some men can write hundreds letters per month just for the mere fun of it... unfortunately for our girls; men who pay per letter know what they spend money for, and more serious about each letter they write.
