Read the ladies information carefully
You will be wasting your time as well as the lady's by responding to a woman whom you will not be compatible with. Take the wishes of the women into account. Do not write any unwanted letters!

Do not place too much emphasis on a photo
Do not just contact the most beautiful ladies you see. Sometimes there are hidden treasures in a poorly taken photo. Remember these are amateur snapshots that she sent. She may look quite different in real life.

Age is not everything
Don't pass on a nice woman because she is younger than you (but be realistic!). Women abroad are less concerned about the age issue like in Western Europe. Foreign women generally judge you by your heart and if you are a good person.

Send a photo of yourself
You have a much better chance of receiving answers if you send one or more good quality photos of yourself. Try to send a photo in which you are smiling. Your photo will be the first impression of you. Let her see who you really are.

Money and presents
We strongly advice you never to send money to ladies who ask for it! You could send a present after you have had satisfying contact with her for some time, but don't overdo! Love makes blind, but do not let love make you stupid!
