1. What is AmericanRussianLove.com?

AmericanRussianLove.com is a website that helps Western Men to communicate with Women of CIS countries. AmericanRussianLove.com is NOT a marriage agency. We do not claim to represent any lady listed on our site. All ladies are represented by themselves and communicate with men at their own free will. At AmericanRussianLove.com you have the ability to communicate with ladies on a 1 on 1 basis without the high costs of marriage agencies.

2. Should I believe in the myths of Russian Woman?

This depends on the myth.
First many believe in the old term used "Mail Order Bride". This term was invented before the internet when a man's only chance to meet Russian Women without visiting her country was to order a catalog delivered to his home. Many men believe that they can simply choose a lady, pay a fee, and she will be delivered to their door.
THIS IS A MYTH.
Russian Women are looking for love. They still believe in traditional family values that seem to slowly be disappearing in this world. They believe family comes first. Not only are they know for their beauty and being extremely feminine, they are also well educated and will stand by their man. They are not there to compete with you, but are there to give their love and support.

3. Is finding a Russian Bride expensive?

Our site's goal is to keep the expense of find a Russian Wife as cheap as possible. Men have been know to spend thousands of dollars meeting Women through Marriage Agencies just in correspondence alone. Although we can help in keeping these expenses affordable, you still need to consider that you will have to visit your future wife in her country if not once but several times.
You will not be able to bring a Russian Women to the USA on a K-1 Visa (Fiancé Visa) without proof of an in person meeting. The odds of a Russian Women obtaining a Visa to the USA for a visit is extremely rare. You must be prepared and willing to visit her in her country.
Consider all legal expenses.
I highly recommend that if you do not have at least $10,000 to spare, then this is probably not for you.

4. Why do Russian Women look for husbands abroad?

Why are you looking for a Russian Wife? If you can answer that question then you can answer why Russian Women are looking for foreign husbands.
Many sites want to go into details blaming it on Russian Men. They will tell you things like "Russian Men are alcoholics", "They treat Women Badly". I feel it is wrong to label Russian Men in this way. There are many successful marriages in the Former Soviet Union. Sure there are Men in Russia that drink too much. Sure there are Men in Russia that treat Women badly. But guess what? There are Men that do this in every part of the world. Even in the USA. However should we label all men like this? NO. Therefore it is not proper to label Russian Men this way. Many sites feel the need to give an excuse why Russian Women look for Foregin Husbands.
The truth is Russian Woman firmly believe that they are half of a whole and that the two halves were divided throughout the world. They search for their second half (soul mate) and will search the world looking for him.
For those few ladies who do not hold this belief is it so hard to believe that they are just as curious about you as you are about them? Marriage Agencies is an accepted part of their society. Meeting Foreign Men is a natural part of their culture. But degrading Russian Men as a whole as others do is an injustice to the men and a practice we will not take part in. As the saying goes "Never believe everything you read".
There does not have to be an excuse why Russian Women look to meet Foreign men. Just be glad they do.

5.Will this site protect me from scammers?

First no site can protect you from a scammer. All we can do is remove them once they are discovered.
What you must keep in mind is most of the time when you are being scammed it is usually not a Russian Woman, much less a Woman who is trying to scam you. What also matters is what you consider to be a scam. There are many views on this subject.
First identify what is a scam. If you meet a lady. Visit her in person. Shower her with gifts. Then she decides not to have a relationship with you. Is this a scam? NO. However many men will say they were scammed and place the ladies photo and information on every scam site online. If after a visit the chemistry is not there, this does not make a lady a scammer.
Have you ever bought a gift before for a local woman and the relationship did not work? Would you call her a scam? Have you ever bought a lady a drink before at a night club who would not give you her phone number at the end of the night? Would you call her a scam?
You should not have to shower a lady with expensive gifts to get her to like you. Use proper judgement before buying gifts.
Remember there is a difference between rejection and a scam artist.
A scammer's goal is to get money from you plain and simple. They will lie to you. They will pretend to fall in love with you. They will try what ever it takes to get money from you.
First if you are ever asked for money by any lady from this site please inform us right away. Send the ladies letter to Abuse@AmericanRussianLove.com and we will remove her right away.
Honest Russian Women are proud and will not ask you for money.
You are your best protection against scammers. Simply do not send money to anyone. Russian Women will not give you their hard luck stories. They will not ask for money.
If the lady is falling in love too fast, odds are, you are being scammed.
If she tells you she has a Visa to come to the USA but needs money for travel. Odds are you are being scammed. Remember what I said concerning a Russian Woman getting a Visa to the USA? It is hard enough as it is for a Russian Woman to get a Visa to the USA, but I can guarantee any Woman who cannot afford the trip to the USA, did not get a visa.
Use your common sense here. Watch for women who fall in love to fast. Watch out for hard luck stories, and watch out for fake Visa's. Even if your lady can show you proof of a Visa. Still do your research. Call the Visa in. Fake Visa's can be bought on the street in Russia. If you are still not sure if you are being scammed or not. Please feel free to contact us. We are here to help.

6. Is it true that Russian Women will marry men much older then them?

Yes and No. Did I confuse you? Let me explain. I am sure if you are visiting our website you have already seen many other websites online where you can meet Russian Women. Most of these sites work directly with Marriage agencies. You have to understand to them this is a business. Just like any business they want, and have, to make money to stay in business.
How many 21 year old men do you think have the money to marry a Russian Woman? How many 21 year old men have the desire to be married? Much less the desire to find a Russian Wife? Honestly there are a few out there. But a very very small few. Far not enough for all the available single Russian Women at those ages.
A lot of sites inflate age range of partner the lady is seeking because men from 35 to 55 are their target market. These men have the money and are willing to spend the money to meet the Women.
Not all Russian Women are looking for men a lot older then them.
However there are many who also prefer much older men. At AmericanRussianLove.com we do not set the age limits for ladies. They do so themselves. Many Lades from CIS countries find men their own age to be extremely imature. If their profiles says they are looking to meet an older man, then that lady is looking for an older man.
Please pay attention to the age range the lady has listed for her desired partner. If you do not fit within the ladies age range please respect her wishes. Not respecting her wishes will do you no good. You will not change her mind. There are many other ladies who are looking for someone your age and you should spend your time pursuing these ladies instead of wasting time writing to a lady who is not looking for someone much older.

7. Why should I choose AmericanRussianLove.com over other sites online today where I can meet Russian Women?

First I am not here to convince you to use our services. There are many great services online today to help you meet Russian Women. You have to decide what service best serves your needs. We are not perfect for everyone. Some men prefer the marriage agency experience. Others prefer to spend extra money for the use of interpreters, or guidance. While others prefer such a service as we have to offer of a complete 1 on 1 experience. No rules. No limitations. Low cost. You have to choose what is best for you and best fits your needs and budjet.
However I highly do recommend you do a full check on any website and their services before you spend your hard earned money. Ask the site questions. Ask what their meeting policies are.
There are sites online today that will not allow you to contact a lady directly. They will try to keep you from meeting the lady in person. Set limits to money you must spend before you “QUALIFY” for an in person meeting, or even charge outrageous amounts of money for in person meetings. AVOID these websites at all costs. They are more concerned in keeping you as a customer to spend money then they are to help you find your match. Also avoid all excuses they give for their reasons for their practices.
Will a lady truly be protected just because you spent more money?
If you are told it is to protect the ladies.
The ladies ask them to do so.
It is to make sure you are serious in your intentions.
Do not believe it. It is about their pockets. If the ladies were afraid they would not be on the website to begin with. The ladies are just as excited to meet you as you are to meet them.
Always remember. Choose the services best for you, then ask all question before joining any service.

8. I see CONTACT BY PHONE ONLY in some ladies profiles. What does this mean?

Some ladies who list their profile on our site do have the desire to meet Foreign Men. However they may not have access to a computer or ability to check messages all the time if even at all. These ladies have supplied their phone numbers with their profile requesting that men who wish to contact them do so by phone.
If you wish to contact one of these ladies please let us know. Our standard practice requires that we call the lady first. Inform her about you and your request. Upon her approval, we will turn her phone number over to you.

9. My profile was rejected. Why?
Your profile could have been rejected for many reasons. We try our hardest to protect our customers. We have rejected mens profiles we feel are not fitting, or the content of their profile shows them not to be serious in their search for a Russian Wife. As we work hard to protect men from scammers we also work hard to protect ladies from men we feel do not hold true intentions.

Reasons for rejected ladies profile:
We take scammers very seriously and try our hardest to protect our honest customers. If your profile was rejected then this means something about your profile was questionable. Although you may be honest in your search we still believe in the old saying "Better Safe Then Sorry". Each and every day we receive profiles from potential scammers. These profiles never make it through our approval process. We will not discuss details on how we make our decisions to approve or reject a profile. This will only be aiding a potential scammer to get a profile onto our site. However no profile will be approved that does not include full contact information. (Home address, Phone, and email address). This information will be confirmed before ever approving a ladies profile.
If you feel your profile was rejected in error then please contact us.

I will continue to post more in our Frequently Asked Questions section as questions arise. If you have a question not covered here. Please feel free to contact us at anytime at Admin@AmericanRussianLove.com
