As you no doubt already know, there are a lot of Russia dating services out there. Basically, they fall into three rough categories as follows :
Type 1) Fixed cost.
This is where you pay a monthly fee for unlimited (well, however many girls there are on the site) contacts and emails. Often you can browse their database of girls for free without joining but in a limited way. i.e. Just one photo or smaller photos
Main advantage – Unlimited contacts
Main disadvantage – More competition from other guys
Type 2) Pay per letter.
Usually you can have full access to the database of girls for free. Where they make their money is by charging you a fee for every individual letter – both sent and received. Things like email addresses and phone numbers will usually be edited out of your letters.
Main advantage – Full free database access
Main disadvantage – Costs can skyrocket if you want to contact a girl a lot
Type 3) Pay per introduction.
The database of girls is free, but you pay an amount for the contact details of every one you are interested in. Usually once you have paid for the contact details you won’t have to pay anything else.
Main advantage – Full free database access
Main disadvantage – Smaller number of girls to choose from.
I strongly prefer the first kind. As I’ve said elsewhere on this blog, dating is a numbers game. Russia dating is no different. You want to be able to have as much contact as you want and know what you are spending. When you meet a girl you like you are going to want to contact her a lot, and having to pay every time you do is insane.
Saying that I have used some ‘pay as you go’ Russia Dating Services and these can have benefits the other sites don’t. You may even want to mix’n match a couple of different sites as part of your dating strategy.
