How to Seek Your Woman by Placing Advertisement in Ukrainian Newspapers
Leave your comments about this article below
In this article, I would like to respond to the most frequently asked questions about meeting Ukrainian women by placing adverts in newspapers to initiate the first contact and then to start a relationship.
Using newspapers as a means to attract attention of Ukrainian (Russian) women is becoming more popular among foreign men today. Women who did not succeed with attempts to find their Mr. Rights via dating (matchmaking, marriage) companies, prefer to continue the search independently. Some make a commitment of doing it via Internet, but majority of women still prefer to use the method of surfacemail correspondence. This way can be regarded as old-fashioned and slow, but it brings some retro-style romanticism to the whole process, and many women in Ukraine adore it.
Pros and Contras
Placing advertisement in local newspapers has a few apparent advantages over dealing with marriage companies. First, it gives both - the man and the woman - a chance to find each other and establish a relationship without interference of a third-side. The responsibility for making the right choice lies only on the two, but the taste of independence and the sense of meeting each other by a natural way of correspondence, attracts both.
Secondly, the whole process may be directed and managed by the man. For example, if you place your adverts in Odessa, you may be sure that majority of women who you will select to meet will be from this area; so you may plan a trip directly to Odessa, instead of having to take a long tiring tour about the country to meet each woman in a new city.
Then, you can outline your main list of preferences in the very first advertisement text, which will save you much time later and will help the woman build her first impression about you. Also, by indicating the age range of the woman you are seeking, by providing short notes about her desired family situation, level of English or education, etc., you will save much time and gain more respect for each other from the beginning of communication.
Available options
You can choose to place advertisement in one or more cities, and in one or more newspapers about Ukraine. Also, you may or may not want to use any assistants in establishing communication with women. Some gentlemen request to have a local assistant to receive first calls from women and provide the very first "orientation" to the women, and to schedule the very first online meeting with each woman. Doing this has its reasons. If a man is planning a trip to Ukraine to meet the selected women soon afterwards, his assistant can become his full-time guide and interpreter in Ukraine. She will know each woman personally by that time, and she can provide invaluable help to the man in the process of planning, arranging and hosting the first meetings with women. Unlike classical dating companies, this service can be very "individualized", or "man-centered", because the guide will focus only on this particular client's needs, preferences, opinions and communication style. Such guides are usually specifically trained in relationships psychology and are very experienced in this kind of services.
How to place advertisement in Ukrainian newspapers
The easiest and the least expensive way to place an advertisement in a newspaper in Ukraine is this -
- Request the service in a company that you can trust and discuss the text of your advertisement with them;
- make payment for placing your advertisement for a certain term (normally, for 4 weeks), in one or more newspapers in the city of your interest;
- start receiving surface mail letters (or emails) from the women who found your ad in the local newspapers;
- respond to each woman with a more detailed self-description and photo(s).
A possible additional step would be renewing your ad for the next four weeks, or hiring a local assistant to process women's contacts for you, to interview the women for you and to schedule online meetings with them.
Which cities are better to place advertisement
Now, about selection of cities to place your advertisement at. Grounding on our experience of providing this service to many clients, we know that response rates are different in different cities. They also vary seasonally.
Each man, who is planning to visit Ukraine and meet the selected ladies afterwards, needs to select a city (cities) which are easy to travel to and are comfortable to stay at. For example, if most of the women you want to meet live in the same city (area), it is easier to build your future trip to visit this particular city.
Every city in Ukraine is unique. This is why in some cities you have more chances to find your special woman than in the others, because some areas are mostly urban, others are rural, others have many universities and are very intellectual, etc. Try to learn a bit about each city that is on your mind before you make payment for the advertisement. Thus, for example, if you want to meet a woman with higher education, you are more likely to place your ad in university cities of Ukraine - Kharkiv, Dnepropetrovsk or Lviv. If you are planning to spend vacation time with her at the seaside, try placing your ads in Crimea or Odessa.
Which newspapers to choose
The most "common" way to advertise, is to place a short, 20-word long text into a few of the most popular advertisement papers in an area. Believe it or not, women respond the best way to the short adverts with no photos and no detailed information. Just placing something like this will be the most efficient:
"A man of (age) from (country) is looking for relationship and marriage with a woman (not older than --- ). I am divorced. Occupation: doctor. Will soon visit your city. Please respond with photo to - (P.O. box address or email)"
You can add any details that are important to you, and your agent company will take care that all your information fits into a 20-word advertisement in Russian or Ukrainian language.
We have found an interesting thing - there are fewer responses to advertisement containing the man's photograph than to the short only-text ads. Probably, not being able to see the man's face at the very beginning, gives women an exciting feeling of stepping into an adventure? who knows...
There are 2-3 very popular inexpensive daily newspapers in each larger city. Some newspapers are distributed for free about central cities 2-3 times a week. These are always the most widely used newspaper, and the rate of responses to these newspapers is the highest.
You can place advertisement in one city this month, and in another city next month. Also, you can ask your advertising agency to scan the payment slips provided by the newspapers and email you scanned copies of them. This will be the proof that the advertisement has been placed to the newspapers, as requested.
These were the basic howto tips for men who consider trying to find their women by placing advertisement in local newspapers in Ukraine. There are few companies that provide these services so far. But this is the most enticing fact about it! Giove it a try today, before it has become a common, routine practice for thousands of people!
