Odessa’s dating scene: a profitable business?

Many cities in the Ukraine as well as Eastern Europe and Asia have well established mail order bride industries but none are as prominent as Odessa for men who are searching for a companion. There are literally hundreds of firms that offer dating services in Odessa.

They entice many foreign visitors to the city, with the idea that they will meet women who will readily provide them with love and companionship. This also brings a great deal of capital to the city as well.

Anastasia Date Experience

Anastasia Date is one of the largest international dating companies in the world. Their revenue in the previous year was £90m. The majority of their earnings come from tremendously pricey chat services. These services allow men to speak with women at various locations around the world.

The price of the service is £1 per minute to speak with the women and up to £10 to send a message by e-mail. They also offer tours to exotic locations such as Columbia, the Philippines and the Ukraine where the client may meet the women they have spoken with online.

Afterwards, the men will spend a week dating the women they have met at the social events or become acquainted with the ones they have previously spoken with online. The tour is meant to possibly end with a proposal.

How it begins?

On the first day of a recent tour, the men attended an induction meeting. It was explained that most of the women do not speak English and that the services of a translator would be required. Translators would be present, wearing red shirts during the social events. Most of the men present were in their 50’s or 60’s with the exception of one gentleman who was 29 and divorced. 

The 29 year old cited his reason for being on the tour was frustration with western women who were not family oriented. The first social event was at a nightclub. The gentlemen met with dozens of women who wore stickers with an ID number and enjoyed champagne while they waited.

Some men immediately began to interface with the women while others while others were nervous and didn’t seem to know where to begin.

Expectation and reality

Dozens of dates for the following week result from the socials, however many of the men began to complain. Most of them had already spent between £3,000 and £10,000 on chat services where they had met women prior to coming on the tour. 

They had been expecting to meet the women with whom they had already formed an emotional connection. However, in almost every instance, the men never saw those women. Some had turned off their phone while others made dates with the men but never showed up. Many of the women had a last minute call requiring them to care for a sick relative.

Ukraine girls for dating

The men became anxious, complaining of the oddities of the Ukrainian women. Many of them also began to give accounts of extremely costly outings. In addition, a number of the men stated that even when they suspected their dates spoke completely fluent English, they were required to take the translators, who are paid by the hour.

One of the men had been taken to a pool club where the bill came to £250. Another stated that his date had received a kick back after he had paid for an overpriced meal.

What about fake?

When local residents were asked why the women that the men had originally developed a relationship with were never available, they said that it was extremely probable that the women didn’t exist. Most of them at least knew of someone who was involved in writing letters or engaging in online chats with foreign men but were reluctant to give details.

One woman who worked for the dating industry agreed to explain the operation. She said she had applied to work as a translator but it turned out that what was really entailed was writing fake letters and messages. The account she uses is under another name other than her own and the pictures she has up are fake. 

She is in a relationship and is not interested in any of the men she speaks with online. The woman spends hours each week, pretending to be someone else, while chatting with men from various countries. When asked, a representative from Anastasia said they didn’t allow fake accounts and investigated them regularly.

In Final Words

Another woman, who was present during the social events, confessed to one of the clients that the men were basically paying to go out on a date with a beautiful woman. Although this was not the first time some of the men had been on the tour, as it came to an end, they were already planning for the next.

TOP3 Sites For Russian & Ukraine Dating

1 thought on “Odessa’s dating scene: a profitable business?”

  1. Russian/Ukraine Dating Agency’s. NOTICE i said agenc’s not the actual women. Everyone talks about the scammers, yes there are many female scammers in Ukraine and Russia

    BUT what is so guarded is the girls do the scam’s yes, but the real scammers are the DATING AGENC’S. These women in Ukraine / Russia do not make much money, so they supplement what they make on their jobs with dating sites.

    When you see so many beautiful lady’s on one of these sites. Run like Hell. These are models where-in 1. the girl allowed her picture to be used or as a model the agency obtained her photo’s and display’s the picture and bio data. The 2nd girl here, either doesn’t know she is posting an ad or simply doesn’t care because she has been paid for her photo’s.

    You think….THINK you are communicating with the woman in the photo. UH HUH, sure you are. Maybe, but not normally. The agency has hired translators who are already married and not just women, men as well, who work for the agency to correspond with you. THE DUMMY…… When it cost you x number of dollars to write a letter, UH-HUH, half of it goes to the agency, the other portion goes to the translator and another portion to the girl. Or the translator is cut out if the girl is willing to communicate and knows your language, then she makes more. DO I NEED TO SPELL OUT HOW MUCH SHE MAKES ON THE CHAT SYSTEMS. Why do you find, girls three times younger then you constantly wanting to chat. Hmmmmm, light bulb should go off, she or he is getting paid.

    LAST BUT NOT LEAST; Some of these agency’s post pictures of women who are almost perfect, every one of them. NOW do yourself a favor, remember the pictures you so vividly looked at, lusted over…..GO TO THE WEB SITES FOR ESCORTS……..HMMMMM guess what your going to find, that lovely lady you have been conversing with, SHE IS AN ESCORT, MAKING BIG MONEY FROM FOREIGNERS VISITING UKRAINE AND OR RUSSIA.
    NOW WHO MAKES ALL THIS SCAMMING POSSIBLE. THE UKRAINE GOVERNMENT….NAWWWWW THEY COULD CARE LESS. IT IS THE AGENCY’S WHO ARE THE REAL SCAMMERS. THAT IS WHERE TH SCAMMIN MUST BE HALTED.

    IT WON’T CLEAN ITSELF UP, TOO MUCH MONEY AND FOREIGNERS TO UKRAINE AND RUSSIA ARE TOO STUPID.

    ALL THIS INFO………NOT JUST MADE UP, FROM A UKRAINE WOMAN IN HER LATE 20’S WHO CONFIDED TO AN INVESTIGATOR OUT OF KIEV, UKRAINE.

    WHAT LESSONS US MEN LEARN THE HARD WAY…….
