Dating and Marriage Services FAQ Part 3

How many ladies should I write to, to ensure I get a response?

Most clients take advantage of the fact the price falls to $5 each per address, instead of the usual $10 per address, when you order 10 addresses or more. Members also get to retrieve 10 addresses per month free of charge, so they also tend to write to a lot of ladies. In short the answer is that if you write to only one or two ladies, you are severely limiting your chances. You should start with about ten ladies you like, write to them by postal mail if your in no hurry for a reply, or via our mail forwarding service, if you would like to get a reply more quickly, or can't be bothered to address and post ten letters in one go. Remember to include a good photo of yourself. Then sit back and see how it goes, and the number of replies you get. If you don't get many replies, revise your letter or expectations accordingly and try again.

I am 53, does this matter?

    One of the many areas where Russian women differ from European and American women, is the age of the partner they prefer. Family is very important to Russian women. They typically marry men who are about ten years older than themselves. They look for stability and someone who will be a good father and can provide for a family. Many ladies will marry guys much, much older than themselves. Whilst this may appear very attractive, having too large an age gap may mean you don't have much in common or the activities the two of you wish to do are very different.

I have been surfing your excellent web site and figure the ladies have an orientation to European and American men, as a single Australian male will this put me at a disadvantage due to Australias location.

Most of these women don't have any great preference regarding citizenship. I am sure many would like to be close to home in Europe. Many are just looking for the right man in which case, location is just not all that important. I have come across some ladies who expressed a dislike for American men, just as I have met ladies who have a dislike for German men, or any other race you care to mention. It's really down to what sort of guy you are, and what the lady in question is looking for. Living in one western country provides fairly much the same sort of opportunities and life style as any other western country, be it America, England, France, Germany or Australia. You will have no problems as an Australian.
