I don't know if the women have to pay Anastasia but this is what I know, you, the American men pay the women for chatting. Anyway, we keep spending our blood dollars to keep this smelly rat business flourish.

Do NOT do this. My friend is still being soaked to wire-transfer money this site and he still believes he is in loved and being loved in return. Over $37K he has sent to this site. RUN THE OTHER WAY. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME.

Dude, i am about to sue anastasia, DO NOT REGISTER! All you are going to do is loose your money and join me to sue them.

Stay away from Anastasia and sister site and also Charmdate.com. In one week I lost $2000 just chatting and maling a lady. So when it comes to get contact detail which they say you can get after opening 10 mails and sending 10 mails. Then you enter the page where you apply... then there comes a message that one must be 90 days active on the site and then you cant get contact details. This is a Chinese driven site situated in Hong Kong. Many ladies work at the satellite offices like in Kiev but also use false aliases to scam you from your money. This happened to me the past week. Busy with Paypal to try and get my money back. God knows these people will have to explain one day. Good luck

Filipino.com is legit... and doesn't scam heaps of money out of you as Anastasia.com by employing heaps of gorgeous girls to bait you. IOW... just to open a letter or additional photo or send a message costs $3 to $4 ON TOP of your subs! I gave it a trial and even used some of Anastasia's so called "Free Chats"... lasted one to two minutes to get you interested and then... bang! The door closes and you must purchase credits to chat further. You are lucky to get a response of two out of the girl and then it's so lacking in detail it is ridiculous. BTW, ALL their communications are monitored and censored! With girls saying they cannot understand what you are typing as it is replaced with dots... and if you try and give them alternate means of contact such as FB or Skype or email... they stop that too. IOW: don't waste your money... use it to actually go to Odessa or Barcelona... Anastasia.com is totally contrived... a milking machine for lovesick fools! Don't become one with the false promise of female nirvana!

I have seen free okcupd to be the most legit one. There is also a Russian site called Mamba that is free and legit
