I recently reactivated my Mamba profile. I haven't travelled in EE for years, but I used to use Mamba as a way to meet Russian & Ukrainian girls in other cities internationally, because it seemed so...

Is it just me, or has Mamba's software gone to ratshit recently?

I have just upgraded my membership in anticipation of a trip to Ukraine and, first I had lots of trouble doing so, it kept giving...

I looked at Vkontakte. Ru in the past and figured it was too hard for a non-Russian speaker to use.

But now they seem to have an English template. Maybe they always did and I just missed it.
...

Actually, it gets stranger.

When I look at the "mamba.ru" site, I see what I described above, and "flirtation" appears to be the same word in Russian (but virtually no one has selected this...

I don't see this option. I see Friendship, Love / Relationship, Flirtation, Marriage, Have Kids and Travel Together.

Is "Flirtation" your "Fun" option? Maybe it is a question of translation into...

Boy, this is really bad news. For lots of reasons.

First, they did not just eliminate the "sponsor" and "willing to sponsor" check boxes, they also eliminated "offer sex for money" and, under...

the other key is not to go to a lady's apartment unless you have a real relationship going with her. it is just an invitation to trouble. you are way way safer on your own territory.

also, i...

I recently played along with a Mamba scammer who was better than most I have encountered.

This is a typical scammer scenario. Girl contacts you with pretty (but not racy photos) and with the...

I have been playing around on this site a bit and it looks like it might be a good place to meet foreign girls in western cities.

Many of the girls there who now live in my city seem to be Eastern...

Anyone have views on the usefulness of Badoo as a prospecting system in Russia?

I recently was persuaded to join the site to converse with a girl who preferred it to Mamba.

I guess it is...

Probably not really news to anyone here, but I thought I would just report a recent experience with Mamba.

I recently reactivated my profile, having had a longish fallow period of EE travel.
...

I thought I would cross-post this from a related thread.

Anyone have suggestions for alternative sites?

Which ones please?

I haven't used LL for a while, but it certainly was pretty good a...

Who do you want making the rules? You or her?
There is no "supposed to", there is only your mutual expectations and negotiations.
This may be a first time for her also, or at least every deal may...

I just discovered a site called www.intim-mamba.ru

It looks like it might be linked into the real mamba site, but not sure.

But this site is all nude photos and girls for sex. Does anyone know...

No, I don't think they have all of a sudden learned English.
I think they have just decided that it is worthwhile to market themselves to foreigners.

And language level? It goes both ways. ...

Those odds work for me!

If it helps me to connect with the 10-20% of the 2 million + girls on Mamba that speak English, then it is a big improvement so far as I am concerned.
Besides, I often...

I just noticed today that Mamba (and its numerous variants - date.ru, etc) finally has an ENGLISH version of its web-page! There is a menu selection down the left-hand side to choose your language...

For a real dating site in English try:

www.luckylovers.net

Not as good (ie more professional daters):

www.elenasmodels.com

Then there are a bunch with very high noise/signal ratio like...

Also you can now find girls listing English and other language skills.

Back in May I did a survey, checking hundreds of profiles and found NONE that bothered to list English as a second language....

Yeah, one of the other weird things is all these flower and diamond icons that guys buy to send to girls. Does that really get them any mileage? It seems like a very bad sign - guys just burning...

When did Mamba start listing girls as young as 16?
I thought they, and most Russian sites stuck to 18 minimum.
Not a big deal for me, I prefer fully developed female forms, but may be a boon to...

What translation programs can translate Russian written in roman characters into English? Babel fish works okay for translating cyrillic characters, but not when roman characters are used.

I haven't seen even that many list English.
Anyone here have search capability on Mamba/Date.ru?
It would be interesting to learn how many girls are listing English language capability.

Also, I...

I have noticed recently that almost none of the girls on Mamba/Date.ru/whatever list "English" as a language - almost all only mention Russian. I have looked at hundreds of profiles recently and...

I was checking out date.ru, running different variables like "sex for money" and "seeking sponsor" and was intrigued to discover a moderate number of girls from my own country (Canada) with those...
