HOW “CITY OF BRIDES” DATING AGENCY WORKS
“City of Brides” dating agency we found that it collects russian brides personal ads from major russian cities by using their russian site version. When russian woman visits “City of Brides” support team offer her to fill out short registration form and add photos. “City of Brides” accept personal ads only with reliable information and quality photos. All non-reliable brides’ personal ads or profiles with bad photos are not acceptable. By doing this “City of Brides” dating agency filters scam artists and secure their customers from possible cheating, which is the main danger in russian dating.
ATTENTION
Main text of this review was written in 2008 and in most cases information listed here is actual. But when we were updating our listing at the end of 2010 year we found that after registering with City Of Brides all customers are redirecting to www.meetsexyrussianwomen.com which is a copy of City of Brides. Looks that it is free to use but we highly recommend don't send money to City Of Brides until you (or we) would not get official information from owners for what you are paying.
REGISTRATION PROCESS AT “CITY OF BRIDES”
Registration process at City of Brides is short and easy. You should not write a lot about yourself and there is no minimum length of yourself description. It takes about 2-5 minutes to register but we recommend you to write as much as possible information about yourself because it could really help you in the future at this site (read about free features below).
MEMBERS DATABASE
At the moment we were writing this City of Brides review they had about 7000 russian brides listed in their database. All brides listed here are divided into 3 groups by age: 18-25 y.o. (about 1200 profiles), 23-28 y.o. (~2100 profiles), 28-35 (~1100 members), 35+ y.o. (~3000 profiles). Most probably only 10-20% of database is still active and actively using this site while all others are just for number. As all russian dating sites City of Brides don't remove old profiles until woman is asking for it.
BRIDE’S PROFILE INFORMATION
Every woman presented at City of Brides has own page where you can find the most important facts about this single woman. When viewing brides page you can review: her photo, personal information like age, height, city, hair & eyes color, education, profession, bad habits, birth date, languages spoken and personal characteristics.
Generally speaking profile information is more like “main facts about this person”. You would not find life stories or something explained in details. But this is enough to understand the interests of women. All other data could be requested in direct contact.

Now it looks like that City Of Brides does not operate at all and send all customers to its mirror site which is 100% free www.meetsexyrussianwomen.com but it is full of advertising banners.
CITY OF BRIDES AND SCAM
After strange things happened to this agency in 2008-2009 years when they switched to free service there is a big big chance that nobody cares about your safety there. It is very possibly that City of Brides is full of fake profiles and dating scammers so be very accurate in communication with ladies there.

WHAT WE DON’T LIKE IN “CITY OF BRIDES” DATING AGENCY
All information on one page. Sure this is good you have all in front of your eyes but we think this is unnecessary because customer is a bit overloaded with information provided on one page.
Advertising. Too much advertising on site, especially at the bottom of the site. It is not visible without scrolling but when looking at the bottom of the page it confuses.
Photos in new windows. When you click on the photo in bride photo album new photo will be opened in a new window. This is not comfortable at least for us.

We recommend to join "City of Brides" dating agency if you are looking russian brides in the age of 25-35 and ready to pay small fee for their contact information.
