ABOUT A FOREIGN AFFAIR INTRODUCTION AND TOURS SERVICEA Foreign Affair (AFA) is an international introduction service specializing in introducing couples on a global basis. A Foreign Affair offers an entire host of services which includes introduction service, tours service, visa services, gift and flowers delivery service as well as others related services like apartments booking and phone translation services.
Generally “A Foreign Affair” service specialize in so called romance dating tours organizing and they are one of the leaders in their business. The main their advantage over competitors like AnastasiaWeb is that “A Foreign Affair” organize tours to other countries than just only Russia and Ukraine. You can order romance tours to Costa-Rica, Peru, Colombia, Latvia.
But if are not interested in traveling you can use AFA as brides mail order service simply by ordering women addresses online. FOREIGN AFFAIR MEMBERS DATABASE REVIEW“A Foreign Affair” women database has 28,000 women profiles from the following areas:
# Russia and CIS (23,500 profiles mainly from Russia and Ukraine) # Asia (1,100 profiles mainly from Philippines) # Latin and South America (3,400 profiles mainly from Colombia)
AFA very carefully checks new women profiles and only profiles with photos could be included to site database. Also they call every lady to make sure than she exists and really interested in serious relationships abroad. The disadvantage is that they usually don’t delete ad without women request and because of this some profiles are very old.
So we give 7 of 10 to „A Foreign Affair“ for the members database. It is quite big but there are lot of old profiles which are forgotten and possibly their owner are not interested in dating anymore. FOREIGN AFFAIR MEMBERS PROFILE QUALITY REVIEWAll information about lady is placed in one page so you don’t have to browse it but profile information is very short and it’s not enough to understand character of the lady. Mainly it happens because women when creating online profile should tell about their selves by writing text and not by answering questions. That’s why 80% of profiles has 2-3 sentences self description section.
Design of profile very old fashioned and could be much better. Photos usually are good quality but to view all photos you should click on the button of the page.
We think that “Foreign Affair” could bring more attention to their profiles page and they got only 6 out of 10 for this review section. FOREIGN AFFAIR DESIGN & USABILITY REVIEWSite navigation is very difficult especially if you need to find information. All links are placed in random order and there is no logic sense. On site there is lot of text and text links which makes user browsing very difficult especially if you doing this first time. Design has never changed as well as site structure
Probably design and usability is the biggest our upset in “Foreign Affair” review. Only 3 of 10 here. If they want to survive in online business they should change everything in their design. FOREIGN AFFAIR FEATURES REVIEWAll AFA features are more related to their offline activity and online features do not exist at all. Yes, they have gifts and phone calling service but that’s not online features. But honestly speaking russian dating is something different and online features are not on demand. So we give 7 of 10 here because they provide all those “must included” service to their customers.
FREE ACCESS LEVEL REVIEWAs a free members you can visit all site section and read information about services “A Foreign Affair” is ready to provide you. Also you can use search engine and match wizard to find foreign women by your characteristics like age, height and interests.
So free access level at “A Foreign Affair” is standard and you can not do anything without paying for the service. So we give this site 7 of 10 for the ability to browse their database free of charge.
PAID MEMBER ZONE REVIEW LEVEL„A Foreign Affair“ offers 3 types of membership: Platinum, Gold and Silver.
Platinum Membership - as platinum member you can choose up to 100 women addresses per month. The activation fee for your Platinum membership is only $95.00 and then your credit card will be billed at $19.95 rate per month. So by purchasing platinum membership for 2 months you will buy women addresses at $0.57 per address. This is one of the lowest prices on this market and if you really interested in dating foreign women this plan could really save a lot of money for you. Other plans are more expensive and we think they are not effective as a platinum.
Gold Membership - The Gold membership allows you to choose between 3 and 13 addresses for $7.00 each. At this level you simply browse the system and choose the profiles you are interested in. Silver Membership - The silver level enables the subscriber to choose one to two addresses at a time for a cost of $9.00 per address.
We have never seen before such prices for foreign women addresses like „A Foreign Affair“ offers when purchasing platinum plan so for this plan we give them 7 of 10 points.
PRICE/QUALITY RATIOGeneral if we speak about AFA site quality it is at very low level. But if we speak about ponential benefits of site using we hold them at high level because address purchasing at $0.5 each is very low price on the market. The disadvantage is a high platinum membership price because you need to buy 2 months membership for this and it will cost you $115 per 2 months.
So we give „A Foreign Affair“ 7 of 10 points for the price/quality ratio.
CONCLUSION OF „A FOREIGN AFFAIR“ SERVICE REVIEW“A Foreign Affair” is established tours and introduction service provider. If you plan to visit country where your women is living Foreign Affair is one the best solutions for you because they have huge experience in romance tours organizing. But if you need just online service to correspondent with women from America or East Europe it’s better to join another sites like AnastasiaWeb, Bride.ru or City Of Brides.
