Do you enjoy online dating or would you rather have already been done with it? There are people like you on Elenasmodels.com!
Online dating can be fun or tedious, which type of person are you?
Women on Elenasmodels.com often comment how they would love to have already found a partner and end the search.
In fact, some ladies report having been on the site for years and being unable to find a match. At the same time, they say that they are getting interest, going on Skype, chatting to men, but nothing moves from this point further to a real relationship.
What is going on?
Is it what the ladies suggest, men are simply seeking an online companionship and not willing to actually find a partner to share life with?
Joys and sorrows of online dating
Talking to new people can be exciting at first, but if the same story continues to happen — after the initial interest and getting on Skype the interest wanes, something should be wrong there.
What do you think is the problem of these ladies? Comment below!
While some girls say they are inundated by questions from men, others complain that guys only answer their questions, but don’t seem to be interested themselves. It is the same complaint that we hear from men as well.
Would be interesting to hear your perspective!
What about me, I think that simply guys and girls are talking to multiple people and they only have so much time to spend on online dating. This is why they spend the most time with people they really like and just trying to keep in touch with others, in case the main interest doesn’t work out.
Do you agree this is the case or is there another reason, in your view?

Having been trying online dating on and off for some years, it is amazing how many girls reply to a question with a one or two word answer. Do that a couple of times and as a guy, it is really hard to know where to take a conversation. So we stop. But I can imagine that girls receive many messages, so who has time to wrire real answers to everyone…?
Stuart, people still meet online and even get married, so some folk obviously know how to make a conversation! 😉
The key is to move to video calls (WhatsApp, Skype) quickly, so you don’t get stuck in these empty conversations on dating sites.
You are absolutely right Stuart. The process of finding a wife that takes a 10 hour flight to see once every 3 or 4 months is quite different than dating someone that lives 10 minutes away. Why does what you say happens? It the grass is always greener on the other side mentality and both men and women do it. Every agency has there own strategy for matching couples but unfortunately you may have a promising relationship with a woman and after a few months she receives letters from other men and you are history. It might happen that she… Read more »
Mark, are you for real? Why would you even use an “agency”? All pay-per-letter sites (aka “marriage agencies”) are scams!! They hire “brides” (click here to read how). All “letters” are written to make money and not to “match” you with a potential partner. The women in photos get 10% kickback for allowing these letter-writing scams to prosper.
STOP doing that!
The only way to establish a real relationship is to get on Skype (or another free video chat platform) and stop paying for messages with love promises written by professional writers.
Get real.
Thank you Elena
But all agencies are not ppl scams. I have visited a lady in Kharkov twice in the past 5 months and we are planning my third visit to her next month and we have been discussing different visas for her to come to see me. I hope everything will work out. If it doesn’t I will come to you for help. Your weekly texts are very helpful to me. Thank you so much. You really know your stuff!
Mark, all letters written in PPL manner (where you pay for every letter) are SCAMS. You pay for someone to be nice to you and you are paying wages of the letter writers (aka “translators”). Kharkiv is the city that we on Elenasmodels banned totally because all women coming from that city are scammers – we do not accept women from that location.
Don’t come to EM after being scammed by PPL. If you do not have enough common sense to understand how PPL scams work, you should not be dating internationally at all. Stick to dating locally.
I wrote a huge monologue on this and found it would be easier to just say, “LISTEN TO ELENA” she is 100% correct and trying to save you a lot of angst (and money.)
Wow. Is this how you address men sincerely looking for a Ukrainian wife? Don’t come to Elena’s models after being scammed? Your responses are telling me a lot about your character. You should be helping people not putting them down. Kharkov must have 10 agency’s and you are telling me every girl in every agency is a scam? Sorry I don’t think so. Also I hate to tell you this but I had to do everything I could to keep a couple of these girls out of my flat and more than 1 has showen an interest in marrying me.… Read more »
Mark, I could write a lot but no point. All girls of Kiev are not scammers, but the ones who are recruited by pay-per-letter “marriage agencies” as “brides” are. Read how PPL agents hire brides.
I could also slander your character and mental abilities, but I won’t. People have the right to step on the same proverbial rake as thousands of other men before them. Enjoy your popularity 🙂
I don’t know if all my statistics are correct but let me put out what I have heard. 10% of foreign men that communicate with Russian and Ukrainian woman travel to meet them. I think this is because online correspondence satisfies some people’s mentality of a relationship. Only 3% of men and 5% of woman in this process succeed. With odds like these it is no wonder why there are so few marriages. Also, even when relationships do flourish, it becomes difficult to “pull the trigger “ and follow through into a lifetime union. There has to be a tremendous… Read more »
Mark, in ‘real life’ also not all relationships end in marriages. So, it’s all about finding the right connection! 🙂
I sometimes think a lot of people starting out on an international dating site don’t realize there’s pretty much no practical way to close the distance without marriage (at least not for Americans who want their partners to come to the US). So if that’s not what you’re looking for, then you’re going to have a lot of trouble finding what you want.
Absolutely, when you first sign up to a site like EM, it can take some time to get started up with good conversations. In this process men tend to chat to women which they like only so so. Women that they realistically would never really travel to date. Eventually they should lock on to a favourite(s). This means they will have to make the decision and drop the rest. No one wants to fake an interest. Considering all variables it is quite hard to meet women online. Variables like (mutual) attraction, age, language, location, education, values, etc. Men might not… Read more »
I think that the cultural barrier is also something. A lot of times it is hard to find things to talk about online. I mean, it’s not as easy as in person where you can feed off the person’s physical/non-verbal cues. Also, it is hard dating someone from a long ways away. If you live near to the person, then it is easy to have things to talk about because you can meet up and do things together. You can only ask ‘how was your day’ so many times before it starts to get stale. I got on this website… Read more »
One of the questions here is, why do online datings often lead to nothing. Last weekend I met a wonderful lady I found on EM from Kiev. I told her of course she was not the first woman I met, but couldn’t reach a decision. Bad tactics you might say, but women are sometimes in the same situation. The revealing point was the question she asked me: Is online dating just a hobby? To staunch one’s ego? Or do I really want to build up a connection. Men are according to her measured by their persistence. I think the lady… Read more »
To all men and women that had this experience, It is especially disheartening when one composes a well-thought out message to a very nice woman or man only to have a One Line response with no additional content to move the conversation forward. Or worse yet, a ONE WORD response. Do this for a few dozen times and we lose interest, copy and paste messages, (which I do not agree with doing) and then begin sending one line messages to a perfect match which the recipient, whether man or woman, views it as rude, disrespectful, uninterested and downright lazy. Now… Read more »
Hello to everyone. On this topic, you can talk endlessly, my observations and assumptions are based on personal experience spending quite a long time on a different dating resources. As we all are, I have had many good correspondences, and, of course, an awful lot of strikeouts, after things were looking promising at the beginning. 1.First of all, draw a parallel in your mind – if it happens that you got a chance to meet someone potentially interesting on the street in a multi-million city, you will undoubtedly appreciate it more, since this is,as we say, “one chance per million”,… Read more »
