What attracts people to RBrides?
It's hard to say why Russia has fascinated the West for so long. Perhaps it is due to the long political enmity between Russia and the West, which has persisted throughout most of the 20th century.
Perhaps it is the literature of Russia, written in such a seemingly simple language, yet so melodramatic and philosophical (and oddly humorous). Perhaps it is the stereotypically icy manner of Russian women, and their reputation for hyper-competence. Perhaps it is all those James Bond movies.
Getting started
Whatever the reason, Rbrides.com is an effective way for romantically-inclined Western men to become acquainted with women from Russia and other Russian-speaking countries.
Upon joining, new members can create a personal profile and then browse through a database of thousands of fascinating Russian ladies. Advanced search tools help narrow the search.
The costs
As with nearly all foreign marriage agencies, men have to pay to contact females.
Men must pay a fee for virtually any communication (except flirts which don't cost anything), whether by purchasing Gold credits (not limited by time, but limited by usage) or a Gold membership (not limited by usage, but set to expire after a certain time period).
Compared to others, the cost of RBrides is reasonable. A 1-month starter package can be purchased for $28.95. See the full price/services list here.
