Now that I was more informed on the Russian culture, Russian demographics, Russian women traditions and Russia in general – there were no more doubts in my mind: beautiful single Russian women were seeking a husband from the outside and there were logical reasons to explain it.

The next step was to find a reliable website to work with. At first, I thought I would be able to find a Russian brides dating site quite easily but it took me near all evenings of a week before making a choice.
The problem was that there was a big choice to begin with but when looking a deeper into each site, I realized that many do not even have an address or telephone number – even less the possibility to identify the owners. I rejected those right away.
Other sites claimed to have tens of thousands of profiles but turned out to have only a few hundreds. Some sites offered no possibilities to get information on their cost structure – all they wanted was a credit card number to begin with – I rejected those as well.
What I was looking for was a site that did not claim to be free or cheap because I believe that in life, we usually get what we pay for. I wanted to register with a site that above all, would inspire me the trust that I would be corresponding with real women, thus offering me a true possibility to find a future Russian wife.
I finally choose a website that worked with local marriage agencies. The main reason is that I read so many stories about men who traveled to Russia to meet a woman who never showed up or worse, looked quite different than on the pictures provided and was only interested in going on vacation and being spoiled with gifts.
Working with local marriage agencies meant that each woman was met in person, validated her identity and was interviewed. There was an extra cost to work with this type of website but I thought it was well worth it.
I took membership, added funds to my account and began the fun and exciting task of choosing which Russian ladies I was going to introduce my self to. To join me in this next step, follow me on International Dating and Matchmaking – How to Find a Russian Bride – Part 4
