Why Russian women are searching for a husband abroad?
The reasons are objective. First of all, deficiency of men in the countries of the former Soviet Union: there are less men than women in Russia and Ukraine. Men die earlier, or are subject to serious illnesses. As a result, every tenth woman at the age of 35 can't find a partner for a marriage. Then all over the world our men are known for their hard drinking. This problem exists in other countries as well, but not on such large scale. This is so often in Russia that if a husband doesn't drink, he is considered almost an angel, even if he is far from being nice. The other problem is many men here believe they should be allowed to have as many mistresses as they want. Besides, there is crisis of modern Russia, Russian living standards differ from Western ones, and every woman wants stability for her family, she needs to be sure in her children's future, so women try to settle themselves in more prosperous countries, it is their right. No one can blame women for desire of better life for them and their children.

What age difference would you say is acceptable between foreign men and Russian women?
Traditionally, in Ukraine and Russia people get married in young age, and usually the age of partners approximately the same, with 1-2 year difference. But if we talk about international marriages and age difference between foreign men and Russian women we should take into consideration several factors. First of all, men in the West since young age concentrate on the career, and only after 30 they start thinking seriously about marriage and family. Many foreign men of 35-45 say they have never been married and decided to create a family, when in Russia by this age men have been married and divorced (some several times) or live in marriage, and have children of 15-20 years old. So, the first factor why Russian girls of 20-25 say they would be interested in men of 35-45 is their understanding that in the West younger men are not ready for creating a family. Then, a Russian woman would move to a foreign country, where the only person she would rely on and be supported by will be her husband. So, women expect more stability, support, care from older men, more experienced and those who know what women want. The third factor would be the following: foreign men live active and healthy life - they visit gym regularly, mostly do not have bad habits as alcohol, smoking and using drugs, and take care of themselves. So, at the age of 45 they look, feel and act like our men look at 30. At the same time Russian women get serious and mature earlier than women in the West - their life is harder, they have to start working at early age, and often a girl of 18-19 studies and works the same time to pay for her studies and living (but, of course, there are infantile women at the age of 30 even...). Add to all said factors of Russian psychology: a woman should be married, not married woman is considered inferior to a married woman (even if the marriage of the latest is not happy); and social studies showing that in Russia there are more women than men. As a conclusion, Russian women want to get married and they have more chances to find a husband abroad through international marriage agency than in their native city; any age difference would be ok if the man feels he would justify expectations of the woman towards him.

Why photos of your women are so pretty? Are these women real at all?
Women understand that the first impression foreign men get about a woman is from the photos in her profile in our women catalog, and if the picture is of low quality you may not write the woman back. If a girl is serious she will go to the professional photographer, pay and make professional photos where she looks good. Later on, while exchanging letters, the woman can send you her amateur photos, made by her friends (such amateur pictures are really of worse quality than professionally made ones, and after scanning and resizing the quality of amateur photos become even lower; that's why we do not advise women to use their home-made photos for profiles on the web-site). The agency usually advises a woman to go to the photographer who makes good photos. You can notice similarities in photos of women from one city.

I have seen profiles of your Russian brides in other web-sites, why?
We do not forbid our female clients to be clients of different marriage agencies and dating services in their native cities as we can't deprive them of their right to choose, and thus one girl can be a client of all marriage agencies in her native city, and the number of such marriage agencies can vary depending on the size of the city - from 2-4 in smaller cities to hundreds in capitals or big regional centers (like Kiev, Moscow, Kharkov). Besides, one and the same local marriage agency can be affiliated/cooperate with different web-sites/agency networks, and this way even if a woman is a client to only one marriage agency in her native city, her profile and photos may be posted to many different web-sites.

Some women ask me to send my photos as if they have not seen the ones I have in the profile, why?
They want more photos of you to know how you look in real life - one photo in the profile is not enough. You should also ask them to send more pictures. Be sure, girls bring the best pictures they have, what you see is usually the best she can look, in real life she is different. Exchange as many pictures as possible not to get shock when you come to meet the girl. Men love with their eyes, and if for you it is really important that the girl should be very beautiful, ask her for different pictures in natural surrounding. To return to your question why they ask for your pictures - too many cases when men place in the profile photos made 10-20 years ago. We, the agency, can make sure that the girl looks in her pictures close to real life, but we can't make sure the man looks the same as in the pictures. Many times it happened that a man came to see a girl, and she rejected him because HE LOOKED ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT FROM THE PICTURES IN HIS PROFILE. Men blame the agency "you girls are not serious, she didn't want marriage, she said she liked me, and now she rejected". Of course - she was waiting for the man whose picture she saw in the profile, and here came someone different. And though man's appearance usually less important that his seriousness, reliability, care, the shock when she sees this man for the first time in real life affects the relations you both build during correspondence. Take it into consideration.
