I will do my best to try and answer your question, but if the past is any indication of what will happen to this post you probably will never even see this.

To tell the truth I have no idea how many men who use this site, or one, two, or three other sites as well ever go to visit the woman (women) that they write to. I have been using this site for only a short time, but over the past 7 years I have used many others and have been cheated, lied to, and stolen from.

More than likely there are men here who will never visit any woman they communicate with online. Some are just writing because they get a thrill out of it. It is nice to think that there is a beautiful young woman on the other side of the computer screen who says she is interested in you.
After all what 60 year old man would not like to believe a 20 year old beauty is only interested in finding true love, and age, money, or appearance mean nothing.

We men truly want to believe that such a thing is possible, but in our saner moments we
know that it is very unlikely. When we are thinking clearly we know there are very few 20 year old gorgeous women (from any country, or part of the world) that want to marry a man who could be their grandfather. I'm not saying it is impossible, but the chances of finding such a girl are very small.

We also know (if we take just a little time to read other men's experiences when they visit their "dream girl") that the woman they go to meet may not show up. That the agency who represents that woman will offer to arrange meetings with other women.
For a fee of course.
We know there is a 50% (or more) chance that the person a man is writing to is not the lovely lady in the photos we see.
We know that if the letters we receive are really written by the girl in the photos there is at least a 50% chance that she is getting paid by an agency to write those letters, and the last thing she wants is to actually meet any man she is communicating with online.
We know that often if the girl is the one in the photos, and she actually shows up she may only be doing so to try and extract as much money as she can from the guy, and when his wallet is empty she will disappear.
Naturally the agency will be sympathetic, and offer to arrange meeting(s) with more "honest" girls. For a fee of course.

The best statistic I can find says that only 5% of the women on the majority of these sites are actually ready, willing, and able to communicate honestly, meet, fall in love with, and marry a man she met on one of these "dating" sites.
There are some sites that are completely a rip off, and even if by some miracle a man meets a woman who is sincere in her goals, and intentions the site will do everything in it's power to end the relationship. After all they don't make any more money from that woman if she is happily married.

The costs are not horrible, and compared to the expenses of meeting, dating, and marriage to a local woman I would say it is about the same.

This site seems to be better than most, and is definitely better than the big two sites that claim to confirm every woman, and that any particular woman only has her profile on their site alone. I do see some of the women on those sites listed here as well so at least I know which girls to avoid.

So. Why am I still trying to find a woman to fall in love with, and marry if the chances of doing so are so limited? Well. I still have hope, and I have met a lady here that I believe is everything I have been looking for over the past seven years.

I will most definitely, and happily spend the money to go meet her, court her, and if I am lucky win her heart.

Wish me luck?
