I wonder if I stood on the street corner and gave out free 5 ounce Gold Nuggets to people if they would take them? Or would they think it was some kind of scam or some thing... :ROFL:

I often ponder similar questions. Of course a gift can't be considered as such unless it has been received with acceptance by its recipient(s). I greatly enjoy acting generously so when my gifts are rejected I can't help but feel 'put off' and disappointed. You mustn't forget that although the beneficiary receives a tangible thing, the benefactor also receives something: satisfaction in the seizing of an opportunity to do good. If someone ever offers me free gold nuggets, I'm sure as hell taking them.

Given some time to get my act together, I might well be in touch with you Steveboy.

I can 100% vouch for Steve’s site- bridesandlovers.com and compared with other sites I’ve tried i.e. loveplanet, miss travel, mamba and vk, I got the most replies from B&L. 

I took Steve’s offer last December, signed-up and he kindly upgraded my membership to full access for 3 months. So I began blasting away through cut & paste translated messages and lo and behold, about 80% (aggregate) replied back. I couldn’t cope up with messaging all of them so the number dropped- around 30% went beyond 4-5 message exchanges. I found most of them to be genuine and straight to the point. They were asking me questions I wasn’t prepared to answer like...”There are many beautiful women in Sydney, why are you looking here?”, “I have a 3yo son, are you prepared to bring us there or you just want to have sex when we meet?” ???? To cut the story short, I invited a lady from Tomsk to meet me in Phuket (which we did) in February and spent 10 days (my shout of course) but we didn’t work out. All good and no hard feelings. I became busy at work and never renewed by Gold membership. But fellas, I really do encourage you to try B&L. You’d be amazed by the response rate. Cheers!

You might have some, but you'll not have hundreds a year.

One more happy member  this time from RAAdventures forum..


My initial approach was to start talking to a few woman online, get a sense from the interactions, then decide if it is worth buying a plane ticket to Russia and “fish” in unknown waters. I created a few profiles on different sites, but I had the best success with meeting genuine ladies from Steve’s site www.bridesandlovers.com and some success with Elena’s Models, but there are a lot more chaff to separate.

When it comes to Eastern European dating Bridesandlovers.. outclasses all the competition with :

1. Business transparency
2. Member retention
3. Genuine screened members
4. Absolute ruthless scammer protection via CupidGuard.com We ARE the best in the industry at it!
6. Huge database of Real ladies (We don't do fake barbie dolls)
7. 24/7 customer support

If your serious in your approach to Eastern European dating your in good hands..

Free Dating... What is it about exactly?
« Reply #41 on: April 03, 2019, 12:05:29 PM »
Since the name of this topic is "Free dating" - could you please enlighten me re. what website are you discussing here exactly?

Fdating.com?

Or russian-dating.com?

Or russian-personals.com (ex freepersonals)?

I never used free sites, because of the low-quality profiles you have to separate from the quality ones.
Paid sites (the good ones at least) do that for you.

I also didn't view it as 'my personal data' gets made into profit , I get that idea much more with Facebook/Vkontakte/et.al.

Plus , the better dating sites also use coaching to find out what you really would like in a guy/girl so your meetings in real life become better and more focused.

If you're really serious about finding a good relationship. Spend some cash on the better dating sites and see it as an investment in your happiness and do not dwell over how they make profit of you.

Hey Steve, reading is not your strong point, ain't it? I wrote "I do not like", not "I am worried". If I say (or write) something - I mean exactly that (yeah, imagine, it happens!  :chuckle: )

As to owners of "particular free site", and checking "some old press releases" - would you please be so kind to enlighten us with just a bit more details and precision? Many thanks for that in advance  tiphat
