Loveme.com?

Seems like they have a big database and also big numbers of customers. Seems the women would be innudated with emails or contacts.

Care to share any experiences from that site?

 Far too many proverbial landmines to navigate on this website. From pro daters to false profiles, I wouldn't risk your luck w/ Loveme.com

 If your new to the search, I would suggest trying your luck out with Luckylovers.net and Elena's Models. For under $125 both sites you will get you 3 months of service and a sturdy pier to stand from as you cast your line into the dating pool. I used both sites to compliment each other & my search during my dating quest(s) and I couldn't of been any happier with the results.

A Foreign Affair (aka loveme.com) used to be OK before IMBRA. Now, they use the same feeder agencies as other large International Marriage Brokers and have expanded heavily into China and Latin America. It's probably still possible to find a sincere girl there but it requires luck and experience.

Go to www.1st-international.com instead, they use the same database. The difference is that they also show age range and birth date. The age range can be a hint if the girl is a scammer or not. Most of the supermodels are looking for guys between 30 and 70, whereas most "normal" girls don't want to marry grandpas. With the birth date you can find them on VK.com, which can be used to check if the profile is genuine. I know it's not very gentlemanlike, but with all the pro daters and scammers out there you should use every available tool to sort out the bad apples.

Welcome to RUA

AFA or LoveMe and a couple web variations is perhaps the largest America based Mail Order Bride organization.

As is indicated it many of the women are on other sites. It perhaps is the most expensive aggregate out there. There are most likely some honest women but you are only as lucky as the local agency is honest.

Curious what sort of fishing are you doing?

thank you for the welcome.

I fly fish for trout. Most of my fly fishing friends are snobs only fishing for native trout but I'm open opportunist. I love small mouth bass and large mouth.  My dream is to fish in Russia.

Now taking a date fishing in Russia with a fly rod that would be novel. I have also done some fly fishing. In fresh water I have only caught a few browns, mostly pike, that give a decent game. In salt water have caught some small blues, that is fun. Never been lucky with stripped bass though. Oddly enough there are blue's in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.

Good luck fishing for the finny sort and the two legged versions.

hahaha...I already had my moments driving bumper cars with a RW at Disneyland. Without the bumpers we'd be dead. I anticipate the same danger fly fishing with a RW too - unless she's a researcher.  But my preconceptions could be wrong.

I'm still looking for that keeper!

thank you for the welcome.

Last year I spent a  day fly fishing (and spinning) with three RW on the River Prut in Western Ukraine. They gave up after a couple of hours and started making tasty meals whilst taking breaks to have a swim just down river from me  :laugh: we all had a great time anyway.  :)

I did join them as it seemed much more exciting than the fishing at the time, but I don't wear budgie smugglers speedo's for no one  :chuckle:

If I go fly fishing here in the UK and I had considered going tomorrow actually, I do have the opportunity of taking 2 RW with me, they keep offering to escort me, but I thinks its more trouble than its worth, afterall, one reason one goes fly fishing is to get away from phones, internet, customers, women, is it not?  :-X   :laugh:

In your profile you can put your flag up that is the key. In sports Ukraine is UKR and England is GBR. On the car, internet and other abbreviations UA is Ukraine and UK is well England and all the other Limeys.

Because the owner of RUA, Manny is from the country of Manchuria United, there is both the British Flag  :GOUK: and the English flag (oops no English flag in the smilies) well it is white field with red cross.  You can tell some one from Manny country because they talk really funny but you still can sort of understand them.

 To the OP, if the great outdoors lifestyle is one you enjoy, I would suggest taking your search to Eastern Russia.  Many a woman from this region who are well versed in the outdoors lifestyle.  To be more specific try your luck in the following cities.... Irkutsk, Chita, Yakutsk, Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur.... these cities and their outer lying regions are hotbeds for fishing and outdoor life. There are certainly other area's as well but i can vouch for these area's being plentiful with outdoor enthusiasts.  Try and get yourself set up with two weeks off and head on over there for a WMVM trip and combine both sport and pleasure if you can.

  In any regard. Good luck with your journey. tiphat
