The site belongs to a company with a network of dating sites. If you’ve been to one of them, you’ll notice that the signup process at RussianEuro.com mirrors all the sites from within the same network. One additional field I noticed asks the level of fluency you have in Russian. Otherwise, you need to answer mandatory information about your appearance, nationality and occupation, as well as fill out freeform essays about yourself and your ideal match. The rest of the pages, which involve dropdown choices regarding a partner, can be skipped. Every profile provides a decent amount of detail for every member.
"It feels like true interaction, not some business-like transaction."
As I mentioned in the intro, there are translation services provided, which might not be apparent to anyone visiting the site before upgrading to the most expensive monthly rate. I discovered, by reading the advantages of upgrading, a little demo that makes it seem as simple as selecting which language you’d like your message translated into and then clicking ‘translate.’ It is likely a translation program doing the work, rather than a human. Still, as most sites charge per message for a translation, RussianEuro.com would certainly save you some money versus some of the other translations services available online.
If you feel that you can only spring for gold, rather than a platinum membership, you'll still have access to instant messaging, chat rooms and email, just without any translation service, or the ability to include recorded video. Additionally, I would take a second to mention that only the platinum members can view the video profiles that a minimal number of members have already posted. Either way, free members can always respond to any level of paid subscriber's message, which will maximize anyone's potential for meeting someone new this site.
Now, to the downside of RussianEuro that isn't so bad considering its intended use. The search engine has no truly localized results. You can merely select country, state, or province, and city, to search by, since no zip, or postal codes are required when creating a profile. It would be a real catching point on a local web personals site, but given the global span of this one, it seems less important.
I appreciate a more personalized approach to finding a marriage with someone abroad. It feels like true interaction, not some business-like transaction. Russian Euro is an inexpensive alternative to more traditional foreign matchmaking services with all the features of a regular online dating site, but with the advantage of language translation to facilitate connections that are more meaningful.
