Not Real
Review about CharmingDate.comI started to suspect this site just by the photos. All the photos look like they are just too professionally done which indicates these may be models from a professional model site.
I received about two letters from this one woman. The first letter spoke about her kids yet her profile said she had no kids and this was even verified when I asked her about children and she indicated she would like to have a child one day, but then in her second letter, she spoke about her child and how she enjoyed being a mother........okay, something is up so I questioned her on this. Here is the letter I received from her or should I say, her translator although her profile list her English ability as "GOOD!"
Dear Rick,
I was so glad.that you also got interest in me.You have sent me a very beautiful letter my dear.Now i'm attrackted by you too.Your photo is nice.yes of course i really got interested in you.your words made me so glad inside my heart.
I would like to know more about you.about admirere letter.actually i wanted to start talking with you that was why i sent you.in the content about kid i know.becuase i mistakely. but true thing is i would like to start talking with you.i think you will understand me.
I'm waiting to hear more about you...
take care

Of course, the English is quite bad and she says she was mistaken about her kid. Mistaken?? Okay, whatever and I thought these women are suppose to be using professional translators but I see that is not the case here. Notice she is trying to correct her mistake about her child.....I assume. The letter is bad, the grammar is bad, the spelling is bad and this is suppose to be a professional agency? Smells like a scam to me and what is worse, this letter was sent to me not once, but twice......perhaps from two different people........who knows. This woman looks like Angelina Jolie, very attractive, nice shape........definitely professional model photos with some downplayed photos put in the mix.
Okay, if anybody is reading this, do yourself a favor and try one of the other sites such as filipinoheart.com if you are into women from parts of Southeast Asia or afrointrocution.com if you are into African women, but it just doesn't stop there. These type of sites have sister sites for all races, cultures, ethnicities, etc. The price for a Gold membership is only $29.99 per month and within that month, you can correspond with as many women as you please. And trust me, these women are real. I have met the nicest women from Filipinoheart.com and we were able to correspond by phone, by SKYPE, by yahoomessenger, by mail, we had video chats. I even met several women from afrointroductions.com and I am corresponding with this woman also by all avenues of communication.
And they even call me by phone. Of course, with these type of sites, there will be your occasional scammer, but not many. Most of these women are serious about getting to know you and will give you their e-mail contact, their mobile number and if they do not have a PC, they will happily schedule a time with you and go to the internet café and do a CAM to CAM with you.
Do not worry about these women wanting money. Many of them do work and are very independent. I have been associated with this one woman from the Philippines for about a year now and she mentioned their electricity was about to be turned off and when I offered to help, she said "No, please don't." She indicated to me her bill just happened to come at a time when she did not get paid and her mother failed to tell her it was due; but I spoke with her recently and she said the electricity is back on. She paid the bill. She went on to say she appreciated my offer but that is why she works.......to pay her own way. She is just looking for someone to accept her as she is and who will be faithful and honest.
In fact, I had been speaking to another one who is from China and she had asked if she could have my home address which I gave her since we had been speaking for about four months now. Well, one day in the mail, I received a delivery and the box had some Chinese writing on the outside and I recognized it was from this woman. I opened up the box and inside I found a small personalized photo album of her, her child and her family enjoy some events such as a birthday party and what filled the box was a 2 foot soft and plush teddy bear with a card attached wishing me a Happy Belated Valentines Day. I was quite surprised.
These type of sites are your best bet. Stay away from CharmingDate.com, but I have to admit, their sister companies iDateAsia.com and Chn.Love.com seems to be a bit better and more trustworthy, but still, the payment scale is the same since all the sites operate in the same manner, but I was able to meet what seemed to be sincere members..........
If you want to be sure, do the other sites for that small monthly fee which will give you endless opportunities to meet as many women as possible. Believe me, one month is probably all you need. Some may just send you a notification that they are "interested", but the Gold membership offers the woman a chance to write to you so I tend to look at the women who correspond by writing. I don't think you will be disappointed if you go this route.
Thank you.
Pros
If you are into looking at photos of pretty woman and fantasizing this may be the woman talking to you, this is your site.
Cons
You are never sure of who you are speaking to.
You are not in control of the situation when trying to secure personal contact.
Cost too much for every single thing you do such as reading a letter and sending a letter, making a call, etc.
Some photos, just don't seem like your everyday run of the mill woman.
The money you spend will add up quickly with no results.
Results are not guaranteed.
You may walk away disappointed once you see just how much you spent.

Review: CHARMING DATE REVIEW
I am very cautious about this site. I read many reviews and put my profile up and within a week received about 75 admiration letters. Most of the photos I cannot believe; look too good to be true almost as if these were professional models although there were some more simpler profiles mixed in. I had to question it when I received this letter from a woman located in the Ukraine. She went on to say she loved kids and she saw that I had a child and proceeded to ask me about my child........funny thing is that in my profile I indicated I had no child but for the most part; all those sensuous photos, lingerie and all, I just cannot believe it. I am leaving my profile up just to see how many of these admiration letters I will be receiving and guys, if you insist on using this and a woman constantly writes you many times before you could respond to even one of her letters, just block her and indicate you will be out of town and unable to respond. I admit, if a woman does this, all your credits will be used up but for the most part, I feel this is just a way to make money.

Oh yes, I would also like to make one more comment with regards to sites. Try sites such as filipinocupid.com, thailovelink.com or afrointroductions.com; this affiliation has other sites for every nationality; you put up a free profile and for a low monthly fee whether you want to be a Gold or Platinum member, you can talk to an many women as you want and even do a live chat. I can honestly say by experience you meet some nice women there. I have met some very nice women, exchanged e-mails, phone numbers and even had video chats using SKYPE. I think the Gold membership is $29.95 for Gold and $39.95 for Platinum. The Platinum allows you to view videos but skip this rate since many of the women don't even post videos; besides you will eventually see them on SKYPE if the correspondence is good. And customer service is easy to contact and they never automatically charge your credit card. They will alert you that your 30 day membership is about to expire and it is up to you to renew it if you wish, but believe me, within 30 days, you will find someone cordial; but again be careful as you should with all sites; but any woman insisting to do a CAM to CAM with you can't be all bad and many are just as good looking as what you will find on CharmingDate.com; but again, as I said, there are many sites within this genre that works the same for all nationalities. Thank you.
