In 2015, I took a 2 week trip to Kiev, Ukraine, and I was fascinated by the beauty of all the women I met there. This vacation was a dream for a single man in his 40’s. Ukraine is such a beautiful place, the colorful buildings and cozy cities feel inviting and friendly but you can also discover the luxurious accommodations that transported me into a state of relaxation. During the days I traveled through the cities and countryside, experiencing the diverse culture and landscapes that Ukraine had to offer.
My nights were spent traveling to different restaurants, bars, and clubs which I mostly inquired about from the locals and travel websites. On the weekends the clubs were packed and there was no shortage of the the exotic women that I desired. They were so nice and were clearly eager to get to know American men. Everywhere I went I was flocked by beautiful women, this was one of the best experiences of my life. I was not surprised to find out that Kiev, Ukraine was ranked as number one in the 6 Best Travel Destinations for Single Men.
Coming back to the states was disheartening when it came to women. I was back in the American dating scene and I wasn’t happy with the the people I was meeting. This is when I turned to international online dating. I tried a lot of websites and I’m sad to say that a lot of them did not work out for me. I heard about Dream Singles through a friend and did a lot of research so now I’ll be able to help you answer the question:
When I finally decided to become a member of Dream Singles I was very nervous that this would be the same thing. I am here to share my experiences with this website and help you answer the question.
I’ll break down my research below:
My research started by researching online scams, and especially what constitutes for scams on a dating website, specifically international dating websites. So let’s define what a scam is. The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes scam as, “a fraudulent or deceptive operation”.
Knowing this, I did some research into common illegitimate business practices and found that looking for these things will help you to stay away from scammers when dating online (especially internationally).
As I was doing my research into this website, this is what I based a lot of my conclusion on. Using this list and more I finally was able to answer if Dream Singles is a Scam or not.
As I scroll through the internet looking for things about Dream Singles, I see a lot of differing opinions. There are some websites that say Dream Singles is a scam and some that review it in a good light. Looking through the bad reviews, it often says the same thing, that they feel like the girls are fake because of the way that they spam you with messages (this is something that I took into consideration when I actually went through the website).While I did look through some of the reviews by people, I decided to base most of my information to well known websites.
The first website I looked at was barroomgenius.com. Their dating experts did an in-depth write up “Are International Dating Sites Legit?” on this site. This website really gave me good information about Dream Singles and why I should or shouldn’t use it. Overall, it gave a good review on the website and really wet through the features of why is worked for some men. It also gave tips on how it can work better for each individual! I personally found this helpful when I was on the Dream Singles website.
Everyone is looking for something different when it comes to dating and this can really change the perception of preferences in a dating website. I’m a man in my upper 40’s and i’ve got divorced in my 30s. I’m not looking to be remarried but i’m not opposed to it. I’m looking for someone who is fun, beautiful, and willing to take adventures with me. I’ve spent the last 20+ years of my life working, and now I’m free to travel and really do everything that I’ve wanted to do. I plan on taking trips every few years to Ukraine or Russia so it would be great to meet a person who I can have a future with and hopefully bring back to the states on day.
International dating websites are perceived to be unreliable and often scams which are frequently filled up with bots that clearly do not do a good job at simulating a human. Dream-Singles has an Anti-Scam Protection Policy on their website which states that keeping the users protected is a priority.
To keep the users safe there is a profile confirmation system in which there are women on the website who have personally been scanned by a local representative in the former USSR to confirm that they are real women and that they have no ulterior motives. This includes verifying their passport and background.
The women and the dating agencies overseas are also randomly audited to ensure the safety of the users.
When you go on the Dream Singles website, it can be overwhelming. There is a lot of information at once and you may not know where to go first. When I first went on the website I definitely didn’t.
This website allows you to start out as a free member. The first thing that I noticed when I got on the website is that I was bombarded with messages from woman on the site. In about 5 minutes at least 15 girls sent me various messages. Keep in mind, I had no picture or profile information, so I was definitely overwhelmed by this. The girls on the website looked like models and most had professional pictures taken and I was sure that these women couldn’t be real.
Real Dream Singles Messages:
Going through the women’s profiles they became more real. It told the information about their age, physical features, hobbies, what they’re looking for, and more. An example of what someone was looking for is
“The ideal relationship to me is the one where two people respect each other, trust each other, accept each other’s flaws and stay together no matter how bad the days become. Who knows maybe I’m lucky finding my dream man?” -Anna
Looking at the profiles makes it clear that the women are looking for older men who can take care of them and for the most part age groups range from 30 to 60. They mostly speak of wanting a relationship and that they are looking for a long term partner that they can raise a family with.
As I go through the website, I notice that a lot of the women I come across have confirmed profiles. Which can be found on the top right side of the profile page (next to their name & ID number). This is comforting because this means I can be sure they are real people.
Success Stories
The success stories tab is filled with testimonials of people who have met in person and shared experiences together due to the website. There are over 800 testimonials with both men and women sharing their story of first meetings, long term meetings, and even thank you letters from long term relationships that have turned into families with children.
“Julia, Scott, and Maximillian! We are a family that exists due to this site!We met on the Dream-Singles site a few years ago. Yes, sometimes it takes a long time to understand that your happiness is right in front of your nose. After some time of the communication, we were not completely sure that it could work out, but we tried, we met in real life and fell in love!Our first dates were the best moments in our lives, with a lot of worries, emotions, and excitement! Now we are married and have a wonderful son Maximillian!It is great that sites, like Dream-Singles, exist. Two persons can live in different corners of the word, but they meet, fall in love, create families! ” -Julia, Ukraine
Touring Dream Singles
To get people to understand what they offer, Dream Singles created a video where interested people see what sets this dating site a part from the rest.
This video discusses more the mission of Dream Singles, first-class features, love stories from real members and how the site stays protected. Dream Singles even gives you insight to what is included on each profile. Doesn’t sound like they have anything to hide.
Gift Shop
The anti-scam protection policy states that women are not allowed to ask for money or gifts. So if you choose to send a gift to a woman they give a safe option through their gift shop. You don’t have to send the other person their address or receive theirs, keeping the identity of both parties safe at all times.
You may also wonder if the website itself if safe to purchase things off of, this is what their website states:
“We have a secure certificate that guarantees our site is protected. Latest technology ensures that all credit card transactions are encrypted, meaning the information is scrambled and cannot be retrieved for future use by anyone.
Additionally, when you save your credit card information, it is stored in a secure location in accordance with PCI regulations. We get nightly security audits from McAfee Secure to provide an additional layer of protection and our site is monitored nightly by our IT department. Also, your credit card number, once saved, is not shown — if you notice, we X out all but the last four digits of the card number.”
Again, some of the things I was looking for were:
Vague profile
Gaining your trust, then quickly asking for money or gifts
Claiming they want to travel to you, but asking for your money to do that.
“Please be advised that in order for the lady members to visit the US, they will need a letter of invitation from the country where they are proposing to visit, they will need proof of correspondence of whom they are going to visit, among other immigration requirements. If the lady members do not have this information ready and available when they are at the immigration offices to obtain their Visa, their application is denied and they are ineligible to reapply for up to 6 months.
In addition, many of the lady members do not have the funds required to make the trip. Therefore, even if she is able to obtain her Visa, she may not be able to pay for the plane ticket and hotel expenses. We do not encourage our male members to wire money to the lady members for these expenses (this is a big international scam) and members who do wire money overseas are certainly taking a serious risk.”
“Many ladies feel that men in their countries, especially Russia and Ukraine, lack the drive to provide a stable, responsible, safe, and loving environment for their families.”
People claiming to be from a western country but working overseas
Professing feelings to you after a very short amount of time
