Paying money for being manipulated

Many fake profiles, many old profiles of women who are not active but the site still keep them to use as advertisement and auto-generate messages using these profiles, but actually these real women do not visit the site anymore. The site auto-generates a lot of fake messages which do not come from women themselves. Men think that these women are being interested in them. Many profiles are not updated and do not contain enough info about the women. Many profiles come only with one photo with very few information about the woman, who is not aware even that the site took her photo somewhere and put it on the site... It seems like a human agent is sitting there writing the whole day messages to men, something general like "hello" or "hello from Russia" but never a personal addressed message...but these women never write back when men answer their messages.
The site in whole looks very old fashioned, didn't renew itself for many years but keeps the same style with many old profiles.

The worst of all that is that many young women try to use the site to ask for money after one day of chat on personal messenger.
The site has no authenticity test engine for profiles, nor for men neither for women.
It's humiliating, frustrating to know that you pay money while for women all is free - which makes parasitic women come in easily- and at the end you recognize that you were manipulated!!!
Profiles lack of elementary basic information about women, which makes you feel these profiles were put inside in a hurry just to fulfill the site with as many as possible profiles...only but fake ones.
When you try to report some users because of scams/ fraud or money issue, the site still keep them and takes NO action.

Unfortunately, the response from the site contains several inaccurate statements and avoids addressing the core issues raised in my review. I would like to clarify a few factual points:

1. My review is not about age preference, but about systemic issues: fake or inactive profiles, auto-generated messages, lack of profile verification, and tolerance of scam behaviors. None of these points were addressed in the company’s reply.
2. The company claims to have “very strict scammer control”, yet I personally reported profiles asking for money after very short interactions. Those profiles remained active, and no visible action was taken. This directly contradicts their statement.

3. The assertion that messages come from “very real women” is misleading. Many profiles I interacted with had not logged in for a long time, yet messages were still being generated, which strongly suggests automated or agent-driven messaging rather than genuine user interaction.

4. Numerous profiles lack basic information (biography, updated photos, activity status). Some contain only one photo and no meaningful details. This creates the impression of profiles added in bulk to inflate the platform, rather than genuine, active users.

5. Instead of addressing these concerns, the company chose to make personal assumptions, use derogatory language, and draw irrelevant comparisons (such as nightclubs), which is neither professional nor appropriate for a paid online service.
6. Offering a “free month upgrade” does not resolve the underlying problems of transparency, authenticity, and user protection. In addition, I no longer appear in their database, so I am not returning to the platform — meaning any claim that they “recognize” me is factually impossible.

7. Most importantly, the company’s description of my alleged behavior is entirely false. I am not the person they describe. I did not exclusively contact women in their 20s, I did not ignore messages from women in their 40s, I did not “copy-paste” messages, and I did not behave in the manner they claim. These statements do not correspond to my activity and appear to be either careless assumptions or a confusion with another user. This raises serious concerns about how accurately the platform tracks, reviews, or even understands user activity before making public accusations.

8. To clarify further, I did not receive “many many messages” as the company claims, and I have never “trashed” any messages — everything stays in my inbox. I have noticed that when users have no credits, the site appears to send many messages to create the impression of interest, but once credits are purchased, these messages largely stop, with occasional messages dropped to maintain user engagement. Comparing this to a nightclub is irrelevant and misrepresents the situation. Additionally, I did not contact girls in their 20s, and I am not in my 50s as they stated — I am ten years younger. These repeated inaccuracies further highlight the unreliability of the company’s statements about user activity.

Thank you for your review, we are disappointed you never had a good experience.
After checking your profile and lookinging into your history we noticed you are a mature guy,  writing to young women in their 20's , In Fact that is all you have ever wrote to despite having many messages from women in their 40's who are all very real, you received many many messages but each time you trashed these messages.
Of course this is your prerogative who you decide to write to. The days of 25 year old women marrying older men in their 50's finished many years ago.
We have very few young women under 30 joining for the simple reason they stopped looking to relocate to another country many years ago, the few that do join are usually removed from the site very fast because as you have already found out they usually just want money and often are probably not even the women in their photographs. We have very strict scammer control.
The situation would be exactly the same if you went to a nightclub and tried to pick a 25 year old girl up, she would probably scam you or ask for money.
From looking into your history you have spent most of your time copy pasting the same messages to women who are in their 20's and have not logged in for a long time.
If you are serious in your search for a partner we always recommend to search for women in your own age group, doing that will nearly guarantee a successful outcome. We have many many women in their late 30's 40's seeking guys in their 50's and many guys succeed. 
We would be happy to give you a month upgrade free if you wanted to use it wisely without wasting time on young women. Don't waste time chasing young Bimbos and you really can find your other half, its as simple as that.

What a joke

Brides&Lovers is the weirdest dating site I've ever been on. Could not stay there for more than 2 days. Inbox was full of messages from men, all saying literally just one word 'hello', 'Hello to you', 'Hello from Usa' etc. And these are the messages from supposedly serious grown up men looking for marriage !? I've realised these messages are being sent out by the computer program without men's consent or they are just bot fake profiles. Who knows. Also without my consent they uploaded my profile on their sister website 'ukraniandating. I never gave them permission to do so and I'm not even from Ukraine. Very untrustworthy, sneaky company run by robots or scammers. You won't have a chance of meeting someone real with good intentions there.

There are stacks of Russian/Ukrainian…

There are stacks of Russian/Ukrainian dating sites out there , I already figured out 98% are scam sites , with just a small hand full of genuine sites out there. Bridesandlovers.com is one of those few, its not perfect there are fake women but they seem to get removed pretty fast. I have been using the site for a while now , met a few women , we just never clicked. But I hope I will find my match eventually here. Defo a good site thumbs up to the management.

so so...

The site is not bad in general, but it has a lot of shortcomings
1-) When we send an e-mail, we cannot understand whether the other party has read the e-mail or not.
2-) I have my doubts about whether people seen online are really online. There were women with whom I corresponded very well, but they suddenly stopped writing. This happens in ninety-five percent. This situation does not raise doubts about the functionality of the site.
(I have never written anything indecent to any woman)
3-) For example, it is the woman who sends the first e-mail, and I write a reply, but the woman does not reply even though she is online.
4-) 20-30 women, without exaggeration, added me to their favorites list. I wrote to the women that I also like. Most of the women I wrote do not reply even though they are online.
the site is not bad, unfortunately it is difficult to say that it is a fully reliable site without eliminating the above mentioned problems.
I noticed yesterday..if you have upgraded your membership.. 1-2 days before the end of your membership or after the end of your membership, there are people who add you to their list of letters, likes and favorites non-stop..
The number of women who add me to their favorites in my 1-month upgraded membership return is at most 2. I think the purpose here is for the site administration to try to increase my membership.
I mean, are the women who send me messages and add me to their favorites real? It's a complete mystery.

I give this platform four stars

I give this platform four stars, I will give it five stars, but I gave it four stars because of the subscription price, it is a bit high compared to similar platforms
From my point of view it is an honest platform, it is strict in image verification and has the ability to detect fraudulent images.
Although I haven't purchased a membership to this site yet, which is normal for me, I test the site before purchasing any membership so I don't regret it later
Through my testing of the site, I see that it is a real site and not a bot. I will buy a membership in time after I finish testing this giant site

Fix this stuff!!

I was wondering why the actual F my account has been banned. I was there like for 2 minutes (my first time) and when I clicked on search for matches or something like that I got banned due scamming people and asking people for money what ofcourse is bullsh*t. The page I got to was very racist with stuff like we dont want n*gger boys and stuff like that. Joke is on you because I am a girl.

FAKE WEBSITES

I CANNOT login. The site cannot even find my email. I sent several emails to customer service but they do not answer. I also used the contact form at the "brides and lovers" site as well as "red square cupid" without reply. They are FAKE SITES. Stay away and do not waste your money here.

Bridesandlovers.com take their security very seriously we have one of the most trusted sites on the net and strive togive all of our members a safe online dating experience using our own security software Cupidguard.  Our system will automatically remove/suspend fake or suspect accounts.
In your case:
1. You uploaded images of yourself with a face mask on, it is not usually normal for a serious dater to have a image of themselves in a plastic face mask.
2. Your name was not recognizable to be a male or female name.
3. Your age was 20 years old usually serious daters looking for marriage are of an older age range and bearing in mind your photos showed your face concealed in a face mask our web site admin decided the site was not for you.
4. On the third attempt yo make a profile you uploaded some images of yourself that were clearly not distinguishable to show you as a male or female.

You stated do not waste money on this site, however you never actually became a member, had no communication with any of our members and paid no money on our dating site.


We wish you success in your future, however our dating site is not for you.

The best dating site

Bridesandlovers.com is undoubtedly one of the best Russian/Ukrainain sites on the net and there are very few genuine , it is like a hidden gem .. when you find it you will love it. I have never been active on a site with so many real people, and I really do mean real people. If your looking for young beautiful Russian chicks under 30 this site is not for you. If your looking for real women and Im meaning normal women this site is a must.

I have not found my other half yet! But I think and hope I will hear.

The best Russian and eastern European dating site ever!

I just came back from a two week trip to Yekaterinburg in December 2018 where I personally met 3 gorgeous ladies whom I met online at Bridesandlovers.com. I could have gone to meet other ladies in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Odessa but I was limited by time and resources. I have tried other sites in the past i.e. loveplanet, anastasiadate, russiancupid, mamba, misstraveller etc. but the sheer volume of messages I received from genuine ladies at bridesandlovers were absolutely beyond compare to those sites. I got inundated with messages everyday that I couldn't reply to all of them. Every time you log on, B&L has a feature where in one click, you can send a message blast to at least 20 ladies, so all you need to do is wait for their reply! And I guarantee you will receive a message. Once you're inside the site, you can view the profiles of ladies who viewed you and you can message them. And of course, you can always search for a lady using the search function which is so easy to navigate and with lots of functionality. Lately I've been very busy at work and studies that I'm unable to cope up returning the messages I receive. I am saying this from my own experience- if you are really dead serious in meeting a genuine lady from Russia or other Eastern European country, B&L is the best site to join. I am very happy with my experience with B&L and I definitely recommend that you give it a go. Good luck with your search!

Bridesandlovers site review

The Bridesandlovers site is one of the better options for Western men seeking East European girls. The management does a pretty good job of policing the site for frauds and they are very responsive to user inquiries. Excellent customer service!
The only reason for my 4 of 5 star rating is that many of the girls appear to be window shoppers despite claiming to be seriously looking. Of course that could have to do with the number of introductory messages they get too.

Good honest site were you can talk to …

Good honest site were you can talk to anyone. The women were more normal here, not pages of models who expect to spend their life on a yacht. I met my fiancée on here.

The only hitch I have, isn't from the site itself, but this and any other international dating site. If you meet your future wife here or a site like it, you need to write a letter and get a letter from the owner of site saying it is not an IMBRA site.

The owner of this site, bridesandlovers.com wrote me a letter. My K1 visa is currently being processed and I hope the letter will be sufficient.

Thanks!

A real and genuine dating site .. I wish more were like this !!!

It is a pleasure to deal with a genuine Ukrainian/Russian etc dating site, where the British management is excellent at blocking false profiles /scammers.
The ladies are real, the ability to give any contact details is allowed, and a genuine pleasure not to have the usual pay per email or chat rubbish as shows on most sites, where ladies are financially rewarded to contact men.
I have seen and spoken to a few very nice ladies, and should be meeting one of these later this year
I recommend the site knowing the management are trying, and succeeding, to be a cut above the other dating sites in this genre

Just a great dating service

For overseas dating, it is hard to get better. Ran by an English gentleman, this site is honest, it is 100% legit. Of course there are profiles of women from some of the big time fake sites. They create profilesthere to take you back to some of the fake sites like UaDreams and Adate. Report those profiles immediately so support can ban them.

But not as many fake profiles as other legitimate sites. This guy uses a system called "Verified" members to eliminate a lot of fakers. You can just speak to the women who are verified and you will be speaking to a real woman 99% of the time. I met a beautiful woman in Kiev there. She was probably too young for me, which is why it did not work out. But I don't regret that experience. I didn't get robbed thousands of dollars. She was so frugal in everything we did. She just felt it was wrong to spend so much money on food and gifts. At other sites I have used in the past, the ladies would try to get me to buy expensive things. We had to take cabs everywhere for three times the normal fare and they always wanted to eat at the most expensive places. Sometimes they would just ask for money outright. They just wanted to rip me off and did not care about me at all.

With my lady at this site, well. . .we got very personal. I will just say that.

Again, use good sites like these. You pay 30 bucks a month at the most. Love does not cost $10,000. Anyone who says it does is a liar.
