FriendFinder Site Review- Find Beautiful Women from Russia and Eastern Europe
Reviewed by Garrett Williams updated 12/31/2010
First Look: FriendFinder.com has made a big
name for itself in the US, but did you know that this popular dating
site is completely international? In fact, there are thousands of
listings of
Russian women and other European ladies looking to meet or marry
Western men.
Pros
- Innovative features like personal blogs, instant messaging, homemade magazines, videos and more make it fun to learn about other members and find common interests.
- The FriendFinder interface is familiar to anyone who has tried a traditional dating site, or even a social networking site.
- FriendFinder’s worldwide reach means that you can meet someone special from any Eastern European country or absolutely anywhere—even if you don’t know where to start looking!
- Subscription plans are moderately priced and give you access to thousands of beautiful Russian women.
Cons
- No organized romance tours, translation assistance, or help meeting in person.
- You must purchase at least a basic membership to read the
full profiles of all the women.
How it Works
FriendFinder works on the simple dating principle that you post
a profile about yourself and you search the profiles of women you
think you might like. The advantage over other sites I’ve reviewed
that cater only to men seeking Russian women is that you are on
a more equal footing with the women. This makes them more comfortable
and the exchanges are less serious at first. You build a friendship
initially through the site’s many features—chat, sending “flirts,”
instant messaging, email, blogs, and more. If you feel most comfortable
with a “friends-first” type of relationship, this is the right site
for you. Most of the women seem already to have a basic level of
English, which makes things easier.
Prices
- Like most traditional dating sites, FriendFinder charges
per month, with discounts for long-term commitments. The
Silver-level access is enough to get you started, with Gold-level
offering a few added features such as .Show up at the very
TOP in searches, Be the FIRST to contact new
members and Get FULL access to members' recorded
video intros.
- Gold - 1 month – $34.94 4 months – $59.94 18 months – $139.94
- Silver - 1 month – $22.94 3 months – $39.94 12 months – $99.94
Advice
First things first: check out the profiles of some of the women
around the world with your free membership. When you’re ready to
start chatting and contacting beautiful women, try out the 1-month
Silver membership. If you like how the site works and the women
you’re interacting with, you can upgrade to the more comprehensive
plans. Unlike Russian bride sites, this one feels more natural because
you know the women are just as actively looking for men. This means
that you should put a lot of thought and effort into your own profile
and describing yourself. Above all, be honest and humble. If you’re
looking for true love and a commitment, be certain to search profiles
for ladies interested in the same.
Final Thoughts
Unlike a “traditional” Russian bride site, FriendFinder.com is
above all a tool to meet women from around the world. You can focus
your search on beautiful Russian women, or
Brazilian
girls for that matter. You may be surprised by whom you are
attracted to after reading through the ladies’ profiles! If you’re
not quite ready for a romance tour or just want to meet someone
special on the other side of the globe, FriendFinder is a fun and
easy way to start. It’s free to make a profile and search for women
around the world, so get started!
