American Singles is just another ripoff American online dating predatory business scam. I agree with a previous poster about going to Russia, or such. Unfortunately, only a few guys have the money to go to Russia and use the top agencies like in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, etc., and try the high class marriage agencies that hand pick the women and send the hags packing right back out the door. It's about $5K minimum for the trip, and can easily hit $10K if you stay more than a couple of weeks. Then there are the fees to get the bride over and situated in the west. And they want to go back home for visits occasionally. You're usually dealing with a close knit Russian family, and travel back to Russia is an added expense, but usually a fun experience for guys I have met who married Russian women. But that's not online dating. That's letting professionals set things up for you, and they depend on repeat business from people who meet the women those lucky guys marry. I'm talking the genuine brick-and-mortar walk-in agencies here with a PhD psychologist on staff, not what you see posted on the internet, which is the Russian equivalent of what you are getting here online, only not quite so fat, crabby and ugly. The highest class Russian gals never allow their profiles to be posted and only meet appropriate guys who show up in Russia. Their profiles are never seen on the internet. They are smarter than the burned out hags you meet on North American and Western European online dating websites that can't get a guy otherwise, so they go online. Oh yeah, I met a few of those gals, so I know the Russian thing is the deal for the guys with the money and the know how. Most guys don't have the money and the know how. Those who did, got what they went after. I'm saving my money, and staying away from the online cesspool. But websites like American Singles have done the world a favor if they took some of their members off the street so I don't meet them in real life. So they do get one star, for accidently doing one thing right.
