I've met a number of women from the site and had to do an exhaustive amount of research online (and in person) to get some clear answers on the dynamic of using this site.

The big problem:

The company employs "agencies" who are tasked solely with getting good looking women to agree to post their profiles on the site. In return for generating active profiles that get men chatting, there is a compensation system paid to the agency, and most often to the women as well. I will repeat, there is a real and active compensation system for the female members of this site to maintain a dialog with other members. Many, if not all, have access to the compensation model...so yes, these women get monetary incentive to talk to you. No joke, I've met half a dozen women that supplement their income through this site.

2. There are real women there. Lots of them, most of them are real, BUT this site sets their expectations high, AND there is no confusion for them regarding what you're paying. They are coached to think that this arrangement is completely proper and that the man should have to pay out the ears to get face time with her.

3. Moreover, some of the "agencies" mentioned above (and likely the AnastasiaDate organization itself) maintain a standing body people who maintain chats in place of the people actually depicted in the profile. I have actually seen the interface for it; it's real. I know women who literally make their living on this site, and business is GOOD.

4. If you plan to actually meet a woman, there is no method of doing so without spending at least $500. with AnastasiaDate. The funny thing is, they try to say it's for our protection and they cite IMBRA to get technical, but the reality is that their entire user experience is geared to make you pay as much as possible for as long as possible without actually doing anything to promote the relationship.

All the positive interactions I have had with the site required literally half a dozen arguments with their customer service over lost mail, lost presents, delays, deliberately delayed emails (one email with contact details was delayed for over six weeks even though both parties authorized it in writing). This list of craziness goes on.

More importantly, the site is a known segue for some pretty serious scams in person. I've spoken with men that have been robbed by teams, scammed by the date, or have and to pay triple the normal price for translation services, etc.

The bottom line is, this organization is not interested in putting people together, it is only interested in making money, and it is so successful that it has its own sub-industries geared to make even more money from those who manage to meet the ladies.

I don't regret meeting the women in the least, but man...it is NOT worth the money spent. There are MUCH better online experiences than any of the AnastasiaDate sites. Do your research.
