>>> Finding a Russian Dating Site: The Importance of the FAQ Page 

According to some experts, websites which cater to men looking to meet, get to know and, in some cases, even marry hot Russian women represent the fastest growing segment of the online dating industry. This really isn't surprising when you consider both the beauty and natural eroticism of Russian women and the fact that in the last five years cheap - and in many places, free - internet access has come to virtually all areas of the former Soviet Union. Also not surprisingly in the last couple of years the number of sites that specifically cater to getting western men together with Russian women has grown exponentially until now there are literally dozens of sites servicing this niche of the online dating industry. And while it is always nice for a customer to have a number of options from which to choose, having so many sites available makes picking the right one more difficult than ever before.

What to Look For
It is important to remember when looking for a site that specializes in helping men meet, date and marry hot Russian women that not all Russian dating websites are created equally. Just as when buying any other product, or contracting for any other service either on or off the internet, it is imperative that you take your time and check out any site that you are considering doing business with. If you have been on the internet for any period of time then you will know to check out what kind of security they have (they should be verified by independent verification services such as MacAfee or GoDaddy), and what sort of customer service support they offer (email and toll free customer service telephone numbers). But beyond that, how can you actually get a feel for what a Russian dating site is all about, and how they do business?
In most cases you need go no further than the site's FAQ.

Over the years the FAQ - or Frequently Asked Questions - page has become fairly ubiquitous on both business and information websites. Their stated purpose is self-evident: They exist to answer the questions that most visitors to the site ask most frequently - or do they? The answer to this question may just provide a very important insight into the website itself, and go a long way towards answering the question of whether you want to do business with them.

Information vs. Hype
One of the problems a lot of people have when attempting to actually get any useful information from the FAQ pages at many of the less reputable Russian dating sites out there is the difficulty they experience separating information from hype. The purpose of an FAQ at any website is to provide useful information both for people who are considering doing business with the site, and for existing customers who want to find information quickly without having to go through the customer service department.

If the FAQ page at a Russian dating site is filled with advertisements and "testimonials", then you need to be asking yourself why, as well as asking yourself what it is the site doesn't want you to know. Testimonials are fine, and if a website is good at what they do they certainly have a right to blow their own horn, but there are appropriate places to do this - and those places do not include the FAQ.

So, what should you find in an FAQ? Information - well organized, professionally presented, easy to find and easy to understand information about that website. That information, at a bare minimum, should include:

* Pricing - All dating sites are in business to make money, and sites featuring hot Russian women are no exception. Different sites offer different pricing plans, and the FAQ of any site should not only lay out exactly how the pricing plan works (subscription memberships, pay-per-service, or a combination of both) but also what the costs actually are. Additionally, all charges should be presented and explained in a straightforward manner. If you cannot find the price structure in the FAQ run - do not walk - to the next site on your list.

* Instructions for Use - Every dating site works differently, and sites that feature Russian women are again no exception. The FAQ section of the site should not only lay out what services are offered (and what it costs to use them) but should also provide step by step instructions on how to use them. Whether written, interactive or video instructions, the FAQ should explain in layman's terms both what the site has to offer, and how to take advantage of its services.

* Rules, restrictions (if any), anti-scam policy and customer service contact information - Every internet dating website has its own rules when it comes to appropriate behavior, and additionally some have restrictions about what a customer can and cannot do at their site. The FAQ should make it completely clear what the sites rules are, and how they are enforced. Additionally, the FAQ should at least outline the site's anti-scam policy and provide easy to follow instructions on how to report suspicious behavior and get in contact with customer service with other questions and/or concerns.

* How to Get Started - Lastly, but certainly not least, the FAQ at the Russian dating site you choose to do business with should provide at least some rudimentary advice and guidelines for actually contacting and getting started with the hot young women on their site. Particularly if it is your first time venturing into the world of Russian dating, you will want to find clear and helpful suggestions in the FAQ about how to approach the ladies online, what they might be looking for, etc.

The above list is by no means exhaustive and, instead, represents just the bare minimum any site you consider doing business with should offer in their FAQ. A general rule of thumb to keep in mind is the better the FAQ, the better the site, and additional sections of an FAQ you might look for can include advice and tips on:

* Travel
* Gift Giving
* Technical advice
* Company Info
* In-depth information specific to your account

Basically, anything can be included in an FAQ as long as it provides useful information about the site - and the more information you find there, the more you will know about the people you are doing business with. Remember meeting, dating and perhaps even marrying a hot Russian woman is supposed to be fun! You don't need unwelcome, unexpected surprises popping up every other day. By picking a site that has an extensive FAQ, you have the peace of mind of knowing that everything at the site is above board, leaving you free to concentrate on finding the woman of your dreams.

>>> Online Dating: Russian Women Sites - Some Quick Do's And Don'ts

The market for men seeking to date, form relationships and even marry Russain women (and women from the various Republics inside the former USSR) has never been larger, and seems to be growing every day. A quick search of the subject on Google or some other search engine will get you literally thousands of hits and offer you literally hundreds of choices as far as what services to use. However, as all too many men have found in the last few years, there are also a lot of scams and con games out there. And the tragic part about it is most of the men who have been scammed in the past could have avoided it by taking a few simple, common sense precautions.

The fact that there are people out there looking to take advantage of men who are in the Russian women relationship/marriage market is not surprising. Finding someone to share your life with tends to be a very difficult and very emotional process under any circumstances - and people tend to be at their most vulnerable when it comes to matters of the heart. Still, even in matters of the heart, it is also vitally important that people use their heads as well. Here are a few quick, simple, common sense tips to help you avoid the scam artists and conmen (and women) and aid you in your search for the perfect match.

• START WITH YOUR OWN VIRUS PROTECTION PROGRAM - The first step towards finding a legitimate online agency to do business with starts before you even visit any individual websites. It starts with the anti-virus/internet security software that you already have installed on your own computer (and if you don't have this kind of protection on your computer, you are going to want it get it ASAP). Whether you are using Microsoft, McAfee, Norton, Kaspersky or almost any other major brand, your program will have an internet security feature that will warn you about potential dangers (viruses, worms, spyware, etc.) that are known to be associated with the sites you are considering looking into. Pay attention to these warnings! If a site is red flagged or even question marked by your security software, you will probably want to leave it alone.

• NUDITY - While many legitimate Russian online dating websites feature pictures of their female clients (and yes, remember that the legitimate agencies are working for the women too!) elegantly or even provocatively dressed, few if any legitimate agencies show any nudity anywhere on their site. If you are at a site featuring naked women, the chances are that you are not at an agency, but rather a porn site. If porn is your thing, have fun! But if you are looking for an actual long term relationship, it is probably time to move on.

• INFORMATION, RESOURCES AND FAQ's - Just like any other kind of business, the owners of legitimate agencies specializing in Russian women understand that not only do they have a lot of competition out there, but also that an informed consumer is usually the best customer. Once you have found a service's website that looks interesting to you, make certain that you dig a little deeper into that site before you spend any of your money there. The best place to start is with their FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section (and if the site you are at doesn't have an FAQ section, you might want to look elsewhere).

The FAQ section should outline, in clear, simple to understand language, exactly what the site can and can't do for you. It should also tell you right up front what the various services they offer are, what they cost, how they charge, and what you can reasonably expect. For example, beware of any site that guarantees you that the first woman you meet will be the woman for you. Relationships don't work that way in real life, and they don't work that way on the internet either. If after reading through the FAQ you are still interested, surf around the site a little and see what resources they offer. Are there easy to use instructions available? Guarantees? Articles and tips on how to start and continue the relationship process? All of these things are a big plus to the consumer. What you are really looking for, however, is what isn't there. If, after spending some time on the site you get the feeling that the agency's owners are being unclear about what they charge, or what services they offer or that they are trying to hide something, it might be time to take your search elsewhere.

• VERIFICATION - This is perhaps the most challenging - and most important - aspect involved in finding the right agency for you: making certain that the women you are meeting are actually who they say they are, and are actually the women in their pictures and videos. By some estimates, fully 80% of the scams associated with all online dating revolve around the fact that someone is not who they claim to be or, in some cases, doesn't even exist at all. Legitimate services will have some kind of verification process for the women they are representing - the most effective of which, of course, is actually having a representative of their agency physically meet the women in question to verify their identity. For this reason, it is important that any agency you do business with has offices or partners in the countries that the women come from. Still, and unfortunately, even this cannot provide a consumer with a 100% guarantee and so it is necessary that any service you do business with is able to provide you with a way to prove to yourself that the women you are meeting are the women they claim to be.

The easiest and most effective way to do this is via a real time video dating option. With the advances in technology in recent years, most legitimate agencies specializing in relationship/marriage with Russian women will offer some kind of real time video option, providing the customer with an extra level of protection and security. If the agency you are considering using does not offer this option as part of their list of services, you need to ask yourself why they don't, and consider moving on in your search.

Finding the perfect match - whether online or at the local bar - requires work, commitment and time. In the world of Russian relationship/marriage agencies, it also requires caution and common sense. Everyone's perfect match is out there somewhere, but there are also a lot of sharks circling in those particular waters. By taking a little extra time and making certain that the agency you choose can provide you with the tools you need to make an informed decision you can save yourself time, money, heartache - and move many steps closer to finding that special person to share your life with.

>>> Seven Tips For Successfully Dating Russian Women  

You might be a bit nervous when you begin dating Russian women. You are probably unfamiliar with what they believe is good manners, or what kind of things they are looking for in a man. You might feel a bit intimidated dating someone who is not from a place that you are familiar with. Don't worry, I've got you covered! Below are seven tips to successfully date Russian women.

1. Be yourself. You should be totally honest with your Russian woman. You want her to like or fall in love with you for who you truly are, and not some made up altar ego. You would appreciate it if your Russian woman was completely honest with you, so do the same for her. Be honest about how much money you make, what kind of person you are, and what you like and dislike. This will ensure that the Russian women you meet will like you for who you truly are.

2. Dress neatly and be well groomed. Russian women usually dress very nicely all the time. This doesn't mean you have to run out and buy designer clothing, you should simply dress neatly. Wear nice fitting clothes that are neat and pressed. Make sure that your hair is cut well and your facial hair is groomed neatly. Russian women appreciate a man who knows how to look his best.

3. If you will be entertaining a Russian woman in your home, ensure that your house is nice and tidy. Along with personal tidiness, it will make a good impression if your home is clean and neat. Remember that your home is an extension of yourself. To make your home more welcoming, light a few candles and play some soft music.

4. Listen to what she is saying. Don't just hear. As with any woman, Russian women like to know that you are interested in what they are saying. Lean in when she is speaking so she knows that you are intent on what she is communicating with you. Ask questions so she knows that you are interested in hearing more.

5. Understand your Russian woman. You should understand that Russian women are like any other woman and need attention, affection, and love. All women love to know that they are special and unique. Understanding what motivates her, or what angers or saddens her will help you immensely when it comes to dating her. She will appreciate not having to explain herself.

6. Make sure she knows that she is special. You don't have to publish that fact in a newspaper, but make sure she knows it. Purchase her a small gift, or give her something you know she will love. Even if it is a special dinner or something that means a lot to her. Listening to her speak should give you some clues on where to go with this one.

7. Learn about her culture and country. Do some research to learn a bit about her culture, society and country. Knowing where she comes from will help you to understand some of the reasons that she is the way she is. Your Russian woman will appreciate the fact that you're gone to some trouble to understand more about who she is and where she came from.

Any woman appreciates a man who tries hard to show her that she is special, worthy, and important. Use these tips and ideas to help you successfully date Russain women, and show that special one how great she really is.

>>> Five Things to Look For in a Russian Dating Site

The world of online dating has been growing at almost breakneck speed for the last ten years or so - and this has been particularly true in the last 18 months, as the worldwide economic downturn has forced us all to tighten our belts wherever we can. While most areas of the online dating world have experienced increases in the number of customers they cater to, perhaps no segment has seen as much, or more rapid, growth as those dating and marriage sites that seek to bring Russian women together with men from Western Europe and North America. Considered by many to be the fastest growing area in internet dating, it sometimes seems that a new website devoted to helping men find attractive Russian women springs up every month - and a quick search will reveal literally dozens of sites out there competing for your dating dollar.

The question is - how do you make certain that you choose the site that is best for you? When you stop to think about it, it is no wonder that Russian dating sites are one of the fastest growing and most popular segments of online dating. Russian women are known for their exotic good looks and eroticism, as well as for their intelligence and friendliness.

Some men looking to form either a passing or a permanent relationship with a Russian woman might actually find themselves wondering why a woman that looks like that would even give them the time of day, much less be willing to form a relationship. The fact is that most Russian women don't care about what a man looks like. Most Russian women are looking for stability - both economic and in a relationship - and have found that stability is hard to find in the area where they live. Given the widespread, government provided access to the internet in the states of the former Soviet Union, tens of thousands of these women have taken to the internet to find their perfect mate, and this accounts for the number of sites that are springing up all the time. But not all Russian dating sites are created equal - nor do you want to do business with just anyone. Here are five things to look for to help you choose the Russian dating site that will best suit your needs.

1. Look For a Proven Track Record - While, as we stated above, it seems that a new Russian dating site is launched every month, when it comes to internet dating newer is definitely not better. Particularly if you are just starting in the world of dating Russian women on the internet, you would do well to look at those sites that have a proven track record of success that stretches back a number of years. The odds are far better that a site that has been serving customers for a decade will be able to do a better job for you than a site that has been around six weeks. For example, a site such as Dream-Marriage.com has been in business for more than a decade.

2. Look for a Wide Selection of Women - While it is easy to be dazzled by the come-ons and the pictures of gorgeous Russian women adorning the front page of virtually every Russian dating site, make certain you dig a little deeper before making any commitment. Spend some time looking at the directory of the women who utilize the site (it should be accessible without a membership) and make certain that it is fairly extensive - several thousand at least. The site should inform you not only if the woman in question is online, but also which of the site's services she is able to utilize.

3. Look For a Wide Selection of Services - One of the biggest mistakes that can be made is being dazzled by the women on a site, only to find out after you have forked over some of your hard earned money that you are limited in how you can communicate with them. The more choice that a Russian dating site offers you, the better. These choices, along with email and group chats, should also include live, real time chat, live video chat, and live audio chat services. Additionally, the site should offer 24/7 customer service, fast problem resolution, anti-scam protections, an extensive FAQ and a large database of articles and source materials to make certain that your customer experience is the best it can be.

4. Look For Flexible Pricing -One thing that everyone wants to avoid is paying for services that they will never use and have no interest in. Rather than going for a site that charges an exorbitant membership fee which includes services you can't imagine yourself ever wanting, it is usually better to look for a site that charges a modest membership fee and then charges only for the services that you are actually going to use. This is usually done by a credits or points system in which you buy a number of credits and then spend them on the site as you see fit - only on the services you desire.

5. Look for a Strong, Effective Anti-Scam policy - The unfortunate fact of the matter is that, regardless of how careful and savvy an internet user you may be, scamming is widespread in dating sites. It is important that the site you choose to use has a strong commitment to keeping scamming from their site, and takes concrete steps to ensure a safe experience for their customers. Look around any site you are considering and see if they go that extra mile - for instance, if they actually contact the women on their site to verify passport information - before signing up. Your safety, both online and offline, is always the most important thing.

In the end, choosing a Russian dating site is really like anything else - it is a matter of personal preferences, and finding a site that you think will be best able to cater to those preferences. This may take a small amount of work on your part, but once you have found the right site, that is when the fun begins...

>>> She Loves Me, She loves Me Not: Dating Russian Women Online Safely 

In the last five years, the online dating industry has exploded at a rate that even the most optimistic of the entrepreneurs who started fledging sites devoted to bringing people together in the early days of the internet wouldn't have dared dream of. Today, some experts believe that over 20% of all romantic relationships that last six months or longer begin online, and the number of people who currently belong to one or more online dating sites currently numbers in the tens of millions. Online dating offers convenience, control, safety and variety - and nowhere is the growth in online dating to be seen more clearly than when it comes to sites that help men find hot Russion women . Once a more or less minor niche in the online dating world, since the introduction of broadband and satellite internet connectivity to the States of the former Soviet Union, sites devoted to getting Russian women together with men from the West have proliferated - and it isn't any wonder.

Russian women are some of the most beautiful, intelligent, outgoing, and sexy women in the world. They not only understand how to attract and cater to the needs of a man, but will go out of their way to do so for the right man. Approaching the idea of a relationship from a much different cultural and emotional perspective than is typical of Western women, Russian women are less concerned with the physical attributes and looks of a man and instead focus more on personality, sense of humor, and emotional and financial stability. In other words, you don't need to be a model to attract a Russian woman who looks like a model herself!

That is the good news. The bad news is, as has been seen time and time again, anytime something really great comes along on the internet (or off the internet for that matter) there are going to be people out there who are going to try to use what is great as the basis of a scam to cheat people out of their money, their online and financial identity, or other valuable (and often times irreplaceable) assets. The world of dating (and in some cases even marrying) hot Russion women is, unfortunately, not immune to the scammers, the con men (and women), and the criminals (and it should be noted that every area of online dating faces this problem, not just sites that feature Russion women ). And, unfortunately, as the savvy of internet users increases, so, too has the cleverness of the online scammer. Virtually every legitimate internet site you go to - whether it is a dating site or a place to check out the price of the Yen in the FOREX market - will have disclaimers warning about giving out personal information, credit card numbers, even your email address to people that you don't know - and that is all well and good. But particularly in the dating world, disclaimers really aren't enough.

People will, quite naturally, get caught up in the moment sometimes and might - if they are allowed to - make unwise decisions. When it comes to online dating sites, whether they cater to men looking for hot Russian women or not - there should be extra security protocols in place to protect you from scammers.

* Always Look for Security Verifications from Independent Organizations. Any website looking to do business with you can claim that they are safe, secure and that any transactions you make are guaranteed to be protected. The reality is, what they say doesn't matter. When dealing with any dating site - and particularly those featuring hot Russion women - make certain that they are verified safe by names you know including MacAfee, GoDaddy, VeriSign and others. If you don't see their verifications posted on their front page and their transaction pages, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WTH THEM.

* Look for - and READ - their Anti-Scam Policy. Yes, every site will have one but it is important to actually read the anti-scam policy of any site you want to do business with to see what it actually says. If, when you read it (or if it takes you FOREVER to find it on the site) it basically says that ALL security is your responsibility and that they have basically done NOTHING to protect you, RUN - don't walk - to another site. This is 2010, and ANY legitimate site will have strict, no nonsense anti-scam and security measures in place to ensure that your online experience is safe and satisfying. If you have any doubt, or if there is ANY ambiguity whatsoever as to a site's position on scamming and criminal activity, it's not for you. Period. End of discussion.

* Look for Easy Reporting of Suspicious Activity. Regardless of what the scam is, at some point direct contact is necessary - asking for money, personal details, or credit card numbers. It can happen right away, or it can literally take months, but there is always a point at which a scammer has to ask for something from the person they are looking to scam. It is critical that any site you use for dating has a simple and easily accessible way to report suspicious behavior, and that the site you use actually acts on your report.

* Look for that Extra Protection. While the basic security protocols listed above should be among the minimum requirements for any online dating site you are thinking about using, they are just that - the minimum requirements. The more dedicated to security a website is, the safer you will be and the more satisfying your online experience will be. Look for sites that go that extra mile to keep you safe and provide, for no extra charge, extra security services. Look for FAQs that devote a substantial amount of space to the security measures that the site takes. Look for articles outlining what to look out for, as well as what the specific site will do if scamming is found. Look for a site that actually verifies the identity of the Russian women in question. Anything that a site does to provide you with that extra level of security will help you remain safe while using their services.

Starting a relationship online - and particularly starting a relationship online with the hot Russian woman of your dreams - is supposed to be fun. Spending most of your time worrying about whether you are being scammed or not is certainly not fun - and it isn't something that you need to do. By taking a close look at the dating site you choose to use, and making certain that they take security as seriously - if not more seriously - as you do, you can be assured of a safe and satisfying online experience where all you need to worry about is which of the beautiful Russian women you find is the right one for you.

>>> Security in Online Dating - It's a Partnership

By some estimates, over 100 million people worldwide are currently involved in the world of online dating to some extent or another. Considering the impact that the internet has had on virtually all aspects of our day-to-day lives, it is hardly surprising that when it comes to forming the most important personal relationship most people will ever have, more and more people turn there for help. Regardless of what kind of relationship you are looking to build, and what sort of man or woman you are looking to start a relationship with, the chances are very good that there are literally dozens of services doing business on the internet that will cater to exactly what you are looking for. It is also a reasonable bet that your potential partner pool could easily number in the tens of millions of people worldwide.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that along with the increased availability, accessibility and affordability that online dating provides comes an increased number of security risks. From personal safety concerns to identity theft, and everything in between, the fact that there are so many people utilizing all forms of internet dating naturally increases the risk that individuals who use these services incur. The simple fact of the matter is that - as with any other activity one engages in on the internet - if it has become popular, then there are a lot of people out there who are looking to take advantage of it. Whether they are sexual predators, identity thieves, or one time "soft hit" bogus credit card charge artists, not everyone on the internet is who they say they are, and keeping yourself safe online is as important as keeping yourself safe in any brick and mortar situation.

In the past, internet sites dealing with any level of social networking - and particularly internet dating sites - placed the onus for personal security squarely on the shoulders of the customer. A trite phrase such as "never give out your personal information to anyone you don't know", or some other like-phrased generic warning would both remove legal liability for anything that happened to their customers from them, and allow them to claim that they were doing everything possible to ensure their customer's security. As internet users have become savvier, however, the businesses which continue to grow are those that take more proactive steps towards keeping their customers safe. These are dating sites that understand that the online security of their customers is not merely something that they take an advisory role in, but rather a partnership that they enter into with each person who chooses to utilize their service.

Anyone who has been on the internet for any length of time knows the basics of what to look for in any site. Sites need to be free of 'phishing' programs or cookies (easily verified by most computer security programs such as McAfee or Norton), financial transactions need to be handled by a verified secure server, and the site needs to be verified as "secure" by one or more independent agency (McAfee Secure, GoDaddy, Yahoo, VeriSign, etc.). Internet dating sites, however - specifically due to the personal nature of their business - have a responsibility to take further steps to ensure the security of their users, and customers have a right to expect increased levels of security services to be provided by these kinds of sites. Some of the services you should look for when choosing an online dating site include:

• Site Specific Non-download Access - Simply put, if a dating sit requires you to download any software in order to use their service, you may do well to stay away from it. In many cases, downloaded software can contain viruses, worms, or 'phishing' cookies. Additionally, by downloading software, the site itself places the onus of security squarely on you, the customer. Sites that facilitate contact on the site itself without the need for downloaded programs usually will have security protocols built into it.

• Stated and Serious Anti-fraud or Anti-scam Policies - One of the first things you should check out on any dating website is its anti-fraud and anti-scam policies. While most sites will have a paragraph or two regarding some form of policy regarding dishonesty, a quick look around the site should be all you need to find out how seriously they take it. See if they have a specific and well publicized way to report scammers, and also look around to see if they have much of a database of articles on how to avoid scammers in the first place. It's a good bet that the more of their website they devote to anti-scam and anti-fraud materials, the more seriously they take the problem.

• Identity Verification - Though relatively new in the market, identity verification on dating and marriage websites is becoming increasingly popular with many of the top-end websites. While the site should certainly not give you access to the details of another person's identity (you certainly wouldn't want them giving that information out about you, after all), a site that takes all reasonable measures to ensure that the people you are meeting online are who they say they are is definitely stepping up their game as far as security is concerned. While this is not yet a common practice, those sites that do offer these services are at the cutting edge of the online dating world. For example, Dream-Marriage.com conducts personal face-to-face verifications of all of the Russian women who list on their online dating site to ensure they are who they say they are.

No matter how secure any dating website is, no amount of company based security or screening processes are going to be 100% guaranteed to keep out all the bad guys (or gals). And the sad truth is that, particularly when it comes to dating and marriage websites - and the romance that is often involved in the social interactions initiated on them - a significant number of the security compromises that occur happen because of carelessness on the part of otherwise very careful people. As people have become more aware of the scams that are out there, scammers have also adapted their methods, sometimes spending considerable amounts of time building up relationships before going in for the kill. Though these basic rules have been stated over and over again over the years, they still bear repeating.

• Never give out credit card, bank card or other financial information to individuals you meet on dating websites.
• Be very careful about giving out personal information including your full name, address, or telephone number.
• Be very wary of anyone who wants to get too close too fast.
• Be careful of anyone who suggests going outside of whatever agreements you made when joining a dating website, including communications outside of the website's established procedures.
• Be very suspicious of anyone who starts talking about money - and specifically their lack of it - soon after you meet them.

Legitimate dating and marriage websites will do what they can to keep you safe as you search for that perfect someone using their services, but it is important to understand that keeping you secure is a partnership. Once you find the right site you can expect them to hold up their end of the bargain. Make certain that you hold up your end!

>>> Russian Dating - A Guide to Important Holidays

As any man who has been in a committed relationship can tell you, right up there with leaving the toilet seat up and calling the woman you are with by a different name on the list of deadly dating sins is forgetting those all important dates in a relationship, like birthdays and anniversaries. These days, of course, it is easy to program these crucial dates into the calendar on your computer, PDA, or cell phone which gives us guys a fighting chance, but no matter how careful we try to be ... well, accidents happen.

There is no avoiding it - it's just how we are wired. With the advent of international internet dating - and particularly the explosion in popularity of sites catering specifically to dating Russian women - an entirely new set of challenges are presented to the memory-challenged male who is more than happy to do the right thing if only he could remember when he was supposed to do it. Yes, you guessed it - in the states of the former USSR Republic where our lovely lady loves reside, holidays that you have probably never heard of are some of the most important on the calendar, and holidays that you have heard of aren't where you expect them to be. So fire up your calendars, PDA's and cell phones, and start setting those reminders!

* Christmas - While in the Western world Christmas is the time for peace on earth, jingle bells, and gift giving every 25th of December; in the states of the former Soviet Union, the holiday is actually celebrated on January 7th. During the days of communist rule, Christmas was officially abolished, although many people observed it in secret. Unlike Christmas celebrations in the West, Christmas in Russia is a time of gathering with friends, dancing and general partying - with limited if any "gift giving". Christmas in Russia is more or less the equivalent of New Years Day (or eve) in the West.

* The New Year - This is, without a doubt, the biggest holiday on the Russian calendar, and probably in your lovely Russian lady's heart as well. Roughly the equivalent to the Western Christmas (at least in terms of the celebration) this is the time for gift giving. There are two New Years in Russia - January 1st and January 14th - although for our purposes the 1st is the one to remember. On New Year's Eve, Father Frost and his granddaughter Snow Maiden arrive in the middle of the night to leave presents under fir trees, and on New Year's Day gifts are exchanged between friends and family members. Interestingly, the New Year celebrations continue all the way through to January 8th, the day after Russian Christmas. In many parts of the region, the entire period between December 31st and January 8th are official days off. If you are looking to impress or dazzle your Russian lady with a special gift, this is the time to do it.

* Valentine's Day - Though a recent import from the West, Valentine's Day (or the Holiday of Lovers) has grown in popularity in the last two decades across the former Soviet Union, and is celebrated on February 14th. As in the West, flowers and/or chocolates are the favored gifts, and cards are a must. Most reputable Russian dating websites will be able to provide you with a list of approved florists throughout the region.

* Victory Day - Though not a day of gift giving, Victory Day is an important holiday to the people of the former Soviet Union, celebrating their victory over Nazi Germany (the brown plague) and honoring the tens of millions who died in that struggle. Celebrated on May 9th, it is both a day of celebration and somber reflection; a card or email to your special Russian lady is appropriate, and will be greatly appreciated.

* Birthdays and Anniversaries - Though obviously these particular dates will be unique to the individual or couple, celebrating anniversaries and birthdays is very important in Russian culture. Just as in Western culture, you can find yourself in varying degrees of hot water by forgetting either of these two events where your Russian lady is concerned. Gifts are appropriate for both occasions, however in some parts of the former Soviet Union (the Ukraine, for example) this is much more of "it's the thought that counts" type of proposition and, depending on the length and intensity of the relationship, flowers or chocolates should get the job done. Larger, more expensive gifts are usually reserved for the New Year's Day celebrations but, as anywhere else in the world, no young lady in Russia is going to turn down a great gift on her birthday!

In many cases, the online Russian dating service that you use can prove invaluable in helping you get the appropriate cards and gifts to the women that you meet through their site. Particularly if the site has contacts with legitimate retail businesses operating in the former Soviet Union, they may be able to advise you on appropriate gifts in all price ranges, as well as facilitate secure and guaranteed transactions.

Contrary to the stereotypes many Westerners grew up with during the decades of the Cold War, Russians are a fun people, and love to celebrate, party, and have fun with their friends and loved ones. A warm and passionate people, in most cases it isn't necessary to spend exorbitant amounts of money on gifts to touch the heart of your special Russian lady. Taking the time and making the effort to understand what holidays are important to her will show her that you take her culture and beliefs seriously, and will provide another layer to your relationship. For the early part of any relationship, communication is key. A simple remembrance sent via email, or perhaps splurging on a longer online text or Voice Chat will add a special note of thoughtfulness to your early dating process as you get acquainted over the holidays.

>>> So You Have Found Your Russian Dream Girl, Now What?

One of the lesser known - and not terribly well publicized - aspects of the online dating world is the fact that tens of thousands of Western men are meeting, dating and in some cases even marrying hot Russian women via dating websites specifically catering to this growing segment of the online dating population. This isn't surprising when you think about it.

The huge, one-size-fits-all mega-dating sites that you see advertised all over television and the internet would certainly prefer that customers not know about the other options that are out there. However, survey after survey shows that Russian dating sites that cater to helping Western men meet and get to know hot Russian women are one of the fastest growing segments of the online dating world, and this trend shows no signing of slowing anytime soon. Thanks to the successes that these sites have on an almost daily basis getting people together, their popularity is slowly but surely increasing and many articles and blogs are being written these days about what to look for in a Russian dating site.

But what about when you find the hot Russain dream-girl you have been looking for at one of these sites? Where do you go from there?

Typically, and always depending on what specific site you choose to use, an online relationship will start with the exchange of emails, and then move into live chat in chatrooms over the site. Once common interests - and a mutual attraction - have been established, video and voice chat will typically come next, always assuming that the Russian dating site you are working with offers these services (and if they don't, you might want to look into finding a site that does!)

Finally, after however many weeks or months it takes the two of you to feel completely comfortable together online, both you and the hot Russian woman that you have established an online relationship with will be ready to move things forward. This is a fun and exciting time for any relationship, but it is important that even as your excitement and anticipation grows, you remain sensible and make certain things proceed in a safe and orderly fashion. Here are a few things to keep in mind when getting ready to take that relationship to the next level.

* Continue to Abide by the Dating Site's Rules - Most, if not all, legitimate Russian dating sites have "waiting periods" in place before they will release the personal information - including email address and phone number - of the women on their site, even after they have authorized them to do so. These waiting periods are a safety precaution both for the Russian women and the male customers of the site, and are in place to help cut down on scamming and other malicious activities. Both you and the hot Russian woman you are interested in agreed to this waiting period when you joined and, until it is up, your relationship should proceed exclusively through the site. Should the Russian woman suggest otherwise, or offer her information early, she might be a scammer, and should be reported to the site administration without delay.

* Flowers and Gift Giving - Online or off, gift giving is a very large part of taking any relationship to the next level. Holidays, birthday or just because, flowers and gifts are a tangible way in which we let someone know that we are thinking of them, and that we care about them. They make our presence felt in a small way even if we cannot be there ourselves. One of the major challenges facing someone looking to give flowers or acceptable gifts to a hot woman living in the former Soviet Union is finding a reputable florist or shop to do business with from so far away. This is where the dating site you are doing business with should be able to help. All legitimate Russian dating sites will have approved venders that they can recommend to their customers for this sort of transaction. Rather than attempting to get it right on your own across different languages and thousands of miles, this is usually the best way to proceed.

* Remaining Cautious - It is human nature when caught up in the excitement and fun of a relationship you think might be "the one" to let your guard down - and to some extent, such as when discussing your deepest feelings and beliefs - this should be done. However, while your contact with that special hot Russian woman is still completely and exclusively over the internet, you must be cautious with the less esoteric parts of your life. No matter how well you think you know her, never give debit, credit card or other financial information to your dream-girl (or anyone else) online. Also be cautious about giving any information that could be used by scammers for the purpose of identity theft. A good rule of thumb to adopt is that if the woman of your dreams asks for any financial information she is probably, in reality, the woman of your nightmares and should be reported to the dating service.
* Meeting - Okay, so you have abided by the site's rules, gone about as far as you can reasonably go online, and you are almost certain that she is the one for you. It is time to meet. In most cases, for both security and economic reasons, it will be you who heads off to Russia (or some other former Soviet state) rather than the other way around. The good news is there has never been a safer time to travel to virtually all of the states of the former Soviet Union and, the better news is, due to the state of the worldwide economy, your money has never been worth more!

While experienced world travelers will no doubt be able to take care of all arrangements themselves, the rest of us are probably going to need some help. Again, this is where your choice of a Russian dating site can make all the difference. The highest quality Russian dating sites will be able to help with:

1. Travel arrangements - including flights and ground transportation upon arrival at your destination.

2. Concierge Service - These services will meet each member at the airport, as well as make arrangements and reservations for you and your guest, throughout the length of your stay.

3. Accommodations - in one case, we know of a site (http://www.Dream-Marriage.com) that actually has apartments in all major cities that they will rent to their customers at rates far below those of four-star hotel rooms. If this doesn't happen to be the site you use, your site should at least be able to recommend affordable and safe accommodations.

Again, if the Russain dating service you are using doesn't offer these services, it might be time to look for one that does.

When all is said and done, the most important thing to remember when you think it is time to take your relationship with the hot Russian girl of your dreams to the next level is not to rush. Take your time, pay attention to the details, make certain that you are sure she is who you want, and let things progress naturally. While the internet is lightning fast, the human heart is almost never that way. The relationships that last - whether it is with the girl next door, or with your dream-girl in Moscow - are the relationships that are given the time to grow on their own.

Men are plain straightforward characters who need a few basic boxes to be ticked before they will commit to women. So how come Ukraine girls seem to be ticking all the right boxes? More men are marrying these girls and end up being happily married for years to follow.

One may look at this from two perspectives; that of the man deciding on marrying a foreign girl or see it through the eyes of the Ukrainian girl. Either way both parties seem to get the best from this situation. Men see in all women potential partners for life, so let us look at what they see in these girls. Most new relationships end when the guy wants the good times of first dates to last forever but the girl wants him to get serious. Due to the fun nature of the girls from the Ukraine men simply can not get enough of the fact that they are always ready to have fun. Together these couples do have a lot of fun.

Coming home from a super date, men simply want to curl up and eat something. Again, the hospitality that seems to be built naturally into these girls ticks a basic needs box. Happy with his beautiful girl friend, a late night snack and the promise of private fun waiting; you find me an unwilling man. Did I mention beauty?

These girls love to look great, dress to show their curvy bodies and know how to hypnotize a guy with the perfect cleavage. They may never admit this, but any man simply feels like a million dollars with a well groomed exotic beauty on his arm. As far as the dating guy is concerned, these girls are the perfect dates, but somehow there seems to be more dates moving on into becoming mates.

This is because these women almost never put up an act to capture a husband. They life their lives to their own rules and moral codes that taught them to please men. Before you think you are getting yourself a slave here, keep in mind that these girls are perfect homemakers but will never be reduced to simple objects. They love well-adorned homes with all the trimmings. In order to get their dream homes, they are willing to work hard at it.

Their whole life revolves round their children as they have very strong maternal feelings towards their children. Culturally they grew up as the centres of their own family's affections, so they simply continue to be excellent mothers. With a content mother as the central family figure, most men relax and enjoy being part of a caring and loving family. Tick. So with all the boxes ticked with men, why do these girls leave their own lives behind and marry foreigners?

Keep in mind that I am really pushing the generalisation rules here, but most of them do it to settle down into a life that she always pictured she would have. Her man loves her, takes care of her and she can simply enjoy being a super mom.

While social networking sites abound and online dating sites are too numerous to list, there is one category of dating site that has stood the test of time. If the site reads Russian girls online dating then you are sure to find quality and not quantity. Yes you have to filter through the porn and scam if you are not already familiar with the sites, but it is worth the time. Let me tell you why.

You may well wonder why Russian sites in particular are consistently high quality and low on scam and spam. Well, while there are about an even number of men and women in the United States and many other developed counties, which is not the case in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. These countries have many more women than men.

It is as simple as that. So, with the odds against them, Russian girls have to outshine some real competition to find a husband locally. The competition is fierce too. Just look at any photo of Northern European natives and you will see crowds of naturally blond, naturally healthy and perhaps unnaturally beautiful women. It is all in the genes. But there is more to the ladies than meets the eye. Education is a national priority in these countries and many of the girls you will find online not only have a good education, they have a great education. Many have advanced degrees. This love of learning transfers to a love of travel and a willingness, even a preference for the world outside their own countries.

They often already speak English and generally have at least one other language well under control. They take to new cultures and experiences like rosin to a bow. Rather than a shy fearful little flower you often find inquisitive, curious, outgoing young women with a true interest in you and what you have to say. Now that is a real change of pace from the usual dating site. Russian women also have a profound cultural reverence for the family. This has both positive and negative implications should you move beyond dating and consider marriage. With Russian wives you get the whole family.

Maybe not right away, but sooner or later, Mom, Grandma and maybe even the aunts and uncles too will show up. Sometimes that means live-in babysitters and sometimes it means a power struggle. Still and all, the preferred foreign born online dating sites are those that are Russian. Aside from education and family, the general consensus is that Russian girls have more fun. They do not exhibit the same inhibitions as so many other European, English and for that matter American girls do. So they are just plain more fun. Part of Russian family values includes sex and plenty of it.

Lest we forget, religion also plays a strong role in many Russian families. And the religions are surprisingly diverse. There is a large Muslim population, Russian Orthodox, and Christian Churches as well as some of those thought of as more American. So why search Russian girls online dating? Because it is more fun and it works.
