I beleive I have this same video but much longer, received from Anastasia their DVD for there tours. It is good to hear from the FSU women her thoughts, but I see GG point it is advert for Anastasia. It truly would be interesting to get a honest poll from the women who attend these socials. if they felt it was just a "meat market" if they would attend again, and how many of them are just professional daters. That is the sad thing I think the more we search and are not successful the more cynical we become.

I certain would like to meet the 2nd girl on the video (brunette-who they personally interviewed) she was a knock-out

Yeah I got that same video. In my Good Time Guy days I would have been all over the tour, probably several in different parts of the world. Now, I just don't see the point.

I agree, unless you might be going over there for the first time and have a couple of women you would like to meet in different cities lets say for example 1 in Odessa & 1 in Mariupol and just use the tour as a means of transportation/safety knowing you at least having someone with some English skills around you and as a possible back up plan. But personally if I have been corresponding with a girl and there is that much desire to meet her I would just spend all my time with her while I was there

with Anastasia and AFA on thier tours I do not think you will ever get a true honest answer about the women.
I think more and more of the women turning up are Pro daters, but I have never been on one of these tours. It just seems to me that the honest FSU women is looking because

1) lack of serious married minded men
2) fidelity issues of available men
3) more women than men
4) excessive drinking problem of men in their contry

and if you ask me these "Tours" promote all of these same issues that the women already face

Women out number man sometimes by 10 to 1, so with this you again have issue #3 coming up
they promote a party atmosphere and with this it touches on the other issues, drinking, seriousness of the male (and women) and fidelity on both sides????

why go on the tours???? unless you want to party and have some under sheets fun with party girls is my only answer.

I agree, and you can use an agency as a backup, or use an agency to meet them even if it is your first time. Costs money but it provides some safety and gives you an out if things don't work out.

W/O even looking at the video I know it's gotta be a crock!

Just like AW there are no 2 that can come up with the same answer! All of them are different and the biggest difference between them and AW is that they have better family values... If you get lucky and find the right one.

Yup, that is the first thing that came to mind when I watched the DVD. I remember thinking to myself it is a good thing I didn't discover this a few years ago when I was a serious GTG

It is closing in on 5 years since I did the tour so I am sure things have changed dramatically. This worked out wonderfully for me. Being an amature traveler I couldn't have done the trip any cheaper at the time. Yes, I did met some serious potentials when I attended the socials. And yes...there were the party gals and greencard gals. The worst was a woman that made it obvious she was only trying because she wanted to keep her son from being inducted into the military! The most important thing was we met an interpretor who was good as gold. We used her services later... I cannot begin to tell you how much money she saved us! Met me at the airport when I had a transfer to her city, etc. Best was a top notch apartment in an excellent location for $40 a day in Moscow! Go online then and get a comprable and it was pushing the $100 a night range...if ya stayed for a month like we did!

I did a euro conn tour 8 years ago. Had the time of my life and met my wife there. It did work for some of us but many came away no closer to finding what they were looking for. I had the same experience with GTG and the like as you had. I remember one that had been married something like 7 times. Several to AM. She did a short stint in films. Asked me out several times but fortunately for me I had a full schedule. Most GTG were easy to spot and avoid. It wasn't why I was there.
I don't believe euro conn does tours anymore.
There are several ways of doing the russian dating game and we've all had different levels of success. What works for one of us may not work for the next. If what you are doing isn't working then maybe you should look at other options.

Sidney & Spakoyna,

I am very happy that you both have found your mates!!! and I do agree with what both of you are stating, that the tours can be benificial and work. My thought on them is if you have not had any correspondence with a woman and want to meet some in person they are great for this. But if you already have had exchanged many letters, spoken on the phone and want to meet her then thru a tour like this I do not think you will make any progress in the personal relationship. The other point was (and I may go this route myself, since both times I travelled I met only one girl each time and I am still searching) is if you have a couple of girls that you have great interest that are in different cities, to use these tours and there services as a means of meeting both girls and a way of confidently travelling between these cities that as a stranger you would not have, and if necessary using their translator services (which I beleive since you are on the tour you can get at pretty reasonable price or free) and not actually attend the socials but focus on these two or three woman individually and if that fails then attend the socials and see whats there. In using the tours that way I think they can be a very good idea, but to go there where your eye on 1 and socialize with hundreds, that 1 will tell you to go scratch faster then you can say Spasibo.
The biggest problem I see with the tours is they try to sell you a bunch of goods that is questionable at best today, that where more true 5-10 years ago. Like all of these women are serious and dying to meet their potential mate, some even state that 50-70% of the men on these socials get engaged---yes---- but how many after a good nights sleep realize their mistake or the woman was a GCG or GTG??? those are the questions they will never answer or address.
But as you said all different kinds of methods can work and no one method is wrong.

My impression is that the nature of the tours have changed, and that the good aspects of the tours have been crowded out by the bad aspects.

Personally, I just think the market is maturing, and what worked a few years ago is not necessarily the best thing now. Notably, a number of companies have gotten out of the tour business. Others are helping guys to meet two or three girls at a time (or more if they want), more like a personal one on one tour

exactly, the only two that I know of that do the "Big Tours" anymore are Anastasia and AFA, most are now going with the more personal tours meet 3-5 woman at most. I think the FSU woman is also catching on to these big tours and like you said much has changed, what was good before has been lost. with the smaller personal meeting I think the woman are more receptive to this type of meeting they do not feel that it is a "meat market" and that the man is genuinely try to find his mate, and understand that it is big chance in travelling to meet just 1 one and both of you finding your mate. I have gone this route, I still beleive that meeting just 1 woman and spending a week with her is the best way to truly learn of each other, but at this time becuase of past failures I would not rule out going over there for a couple of weeks and meeting 2-3 woman and spending a week with each, preferably in different but close together cities.
