RomanceInRussia.com - progress so far
I thought I'd give it a shot as, I must say, I thought Hal's original recommendation looked quite genuine. It's only $50 or so for 3 months' membership with all messaging to Gold and Silver standard girls included, so it's not too much to lose even if it all turns to dust.
Anyway, I spent a couple of hours saying Hi to about 50 or so young hotties in the three Baltic states as well as Kiev, Lviv, Moscow and St Pete. So far I'm in active conversation with about 10% of them, all from Russia and Ukraine (I'm 37 but reckon I could pass for late twenties.. sort of twenty-twelve :)) They do seem quite upfront, and one of them told me she worked as a waitress in a strip club :) But that's actually regarded as a 'normal' job, right?
Several women have initiated contact, BUT they tend to be of the mid/late 30s, single parent variety OR out and out woolly mammoths. I do get the overall impression that the site is, broadly speaking, genuine.
