I am wondering how I would view my account status regarding credits or addresses
that I have remaining?
First of all you need to click on our

"Edit your profile" - shows your account balance. "Recall addresses" - allows you
to see which ladies address you already received. "Retrieve address" - can be used

If a woman has no foreign language listed on her profile, should I
assume she doesn't speak English?
If a lady has no language ability listed, then she can not speak that language.
Why do the women in your catalogue want to find a foreign husband?
They simply want to have stability, a warm house and a traditional family, everything
they cannot find in local men. They write us that their local men have a lot of problems:
with alcoholism, can not provide a family, rudeness, don't respect women and treat them
awful, etc; Each of them is really interested in marriage to a man who she will
love and care for and who will love her too. Americans, Canadians, Australians and
men from Western Europe have good reputations as real gentlemen among the ladies from
these countries.
What do the language abilities mean?
Level 0 - No knowledge.
Level 1 - Some forgotten knowledge from school or university.
Level 2 - Understands written text with help of dictionary.
Level 3 - Understands written text with some help of dictionary, can write a little or speak on the phone a little.
Level 4 - Understands written text, can write and speak on the phone (almost no communication barrier).
Level 5 - Fluent language ability.
Are these girls for real?
Yes, all the girls on this site are actively trying to find a foreign partner for marriage or
a long term relationship. We ask all of our ladies, on a regular basis, if they wish to
be removed from our database so we only list the girls who are actively looking for a
partner.
I'm wondering if you could keep me updated when new ladies join to your agency?
We regularly improve and add more information to the site. We get new ladies joining us all the
time. When we have a sufficient numbers, we update our database. You will automatically receive
notification of updates by subscribing to our mailing list.
Why do the ladies on your site want to find a foreign guy?
We get asked this question a lot. Many of the girls we speak to are very highly educated and
professionally qualified (doctors, teachers etc). The answer is two fold, the disappointment in
Russian men and the poor economic situation. I got a very good explanation of this from a
Russian lady I spent some time with in Ukraine. "They drink too much. If they don't drink, they have many lovers. If
they don't have many lovers, they don't have a job and can't provide for our family. If they
work and provide for our family, they beat us. Is it surprising we prefer foreign men?"
How many ladies should I write to, to ensure I get a response?
Most clients take advantage of the fact the price falls to $5 each per address, instead of the usual $10 per address, when you order 10 addresses or more. Members also get to retrieve 10 addresses per month free of charge, so they also tend to write to a lot of ladies. In short the answer is that if you write to only one or two ladies, you are severely limiting
your chances. You should start with about ten ladies you like, write to them by postal mail if your
in no hurry for a reply, or via our mail forwarding service, if you
would like to get a reply more quickly, or can't be bothered to address and post ten letters in
one go. Remember to include a good photo of yourself. Then sit back and see how it goes,
and the number of replies you get. If you don't get many replies, revise your letter or
expectations accordingly and try again.
I am 53, does this matter?
One of the many areas where Russian women differ from European and American women,
is the age of the partner they prefer. Family is very important to Russian women. They typically
marry men who are about ten years older than themselves. They look for stability and someone
who will be a good father and can provide for a family. Many ladies will marry guys much,
much older than themselves. Whilst this may appear very attractive, having too large an age
gap may mean you don't have much in common or the activities the two of you wish to do are
very different.
I have been surfing your excellent web site and figure the ladies
have an orientation to European and American men, as a single
Australian male will this put me at a disadvantage due to Australian
location.
Most of these women don't have any great preference regarding
citizenship. I am sure many would like to be close to home in Europe. Many are just looking for the right man in which case, location is just not all that important.
I have come across some ladies who expressed a dislike for American men, just as I have met ladies who have a dislike for German men, or any other race you
care to mention. It's really down to what sort of guy you are, and what the lady in question is looking for.
Living in one western country provides fairly much the same sort of opportunities and life style as any other western country, be it America, England, France,
Germany or Australia. You will have no problems as an Australian.
What benefit do I get from being a member of your site?
You get to retrieve up to ten addresses free per month, and an initial $30 worth of free email forwarding to start you off.
Membership lasts for one year.
I didn't fully understand the charges for your services, including e-mailing (the only way to contact a person in the FSU for my money).
It costs $5 for a normal letter, $6 for a registered letter, and $10 per page (650 words) for translation. Printing color photos costs $4 each ($2 for black and white photos). To use the service, you need to retrieve the ladies address and have transferred sufficient funds into your mail forwarding account. The lady can also use the service to reply to you.
I've heard that a lot of mail from the US goes missing. Is this true?
Mail from the US can take up to three weeks in either direction. Some mail is lost, some is opened by postal workers, some is just never delivered, so don't just give up if the lady fails to reply the first time around. If you're serious about her, be persistent. Using registered post is the only way to guarantee delivery of international mail. Because of this, the three week delay, and some of our ladies not being able to speak English, we offer an email forwarding and translation service. You send us the letter by email. We then forward it to our office in
the appropriate country within the former USSR. They then translate and address it in Russian and put it into the local postal system. Instructions for replying by email are included with the letter. The lady can reply by
post or visit our office in person.
Your site looks fantastic, How do I get started?
Read about the services we provide.
Decide on the membership or non membership route.
Use the search page to find the ladies you are looking for. You will not get replies from all of the ladies you write to, so don't just pick one or two. Order their addresses and write, email or phone them. From then on, it's up to you. If you wish to meet any of the ladies you write to, we can arrange a personal tour when you get to that stage.
I am getting ready to write to some of your ladies, Do they have to pay to write back to me?
No, the ladies are not charged for replying to you. Your mail forwarding account is charged for the ladies correspondence, in the same way as you are charged for sending correspondence to the ladies. You can send mail through our service to any lady, providing you have her full address. It doesn't matter if she is a member of Athena Sevastopol or not.
What is the point of me sending a letter if I do not know if she understands English?
The ladies English (German, French etc.) ability is shown on her profile page (5=Excellent, 1=Poor). If she doesn't speak English, and you write to her in English she must either translate the letter using a dictionary, or ask a friend to translate it, if she knows one who can. This means it takes far longer to get a reply, and she may not even reply at all. This is why we provide a translation facility with our email forwarding service. You must say that you need the letter to be translated in the instructions part, and you also have to setup a mail forwarding account.
Is it possible to meet with various women on a trip to Ukraine at the same time, providing they are located in the same particular area? It necessary to have all introductions performed by writing ahead of time or can they be made upon arrival?
Sevastopol is the best place for this, as all of the ladies on the site come from Crimea, Ukraine, and it is where our main office is located. You don't have to introduce yourself before hand, but it helps because it gives them time to make arrangements. If you book a tour with us, you can just come along to our office, look through the catalogue and ask to meet whoever you want. You can meet as many women as you like, it's all included in the tour price. One of our staff will phone her and arrange a meeting that day. We can even provide a translator if the lady doesn't speak English that well.
What about having the girl I choose come to visit me in Arizona instead of me going there?
You can only ask her, you have nothing to loose. This is very unlikely because you will have problems obtaining a visa and the lady is unlikely to accept if she has never met you.
I tried to write to the email address of one of the ladies on your site, and it was returned. Do you have a better e-mail address for her?
I'm afraid that sending email to the former USSR can be problematic. You may have to try many times, or write or phone the lady concerned.
Do I need a visa for Ukraine?
For almost all the countries in the former USSR, you must arrange a visa with their embassy in your country.
You usually require a formal letter of invitation from a tourist company, and to have booked somewhere to stay before you
will be granted a visa.
I've transferred money into the mail forwarding account. Why does it say I can't retrieve the ladies address?
Opening a mail forwarding account does not entitle you to retrieve the addresses
of ladies on the server free of charge. If you wish to retrieve her address and use the email forwarding
service, then membership may be a better option.
I have visited your website and am very impressed by your services. I am VERY interested in working with
you. I have learned about the problems of modern American relationships the hard way, having been twice married to modern women who were too involved in their careers and my bank accounts. However, I have not given up on the hope that I will one day find a woman
who will really love me and care for me forever.
One of the reasons why a lot of guys look elsewhere for love. The thinking in the former USSR is still that of twenty or thirty years ago, ie you marry your husband for life and look after him. Most Russian are not really interested in working, but in raising a family.
I opened a mail forwarding accont for $50 with you. How can I see how much money is left in the accont?
You need to go to our members page and log in using your email and password. You do not need to have purchased membership, just have purchased something from the site.
I've lost the email you sent me with my password. Can you send it to me again.
All you need to do is to enter you email address without your
password and the server will send the password associate with that email
address to the email address.
I have received confirmation of a letter, 41718800 from Almira Tuktareva,
ob3891 that has been processed by Athena International Sevastopol staff. Thank you very
much. Was the text of the letter sent separately? Is it an attachment?
I am unable to find the letter.
What you have received, is the automated receipt, that is generated when we receive a letter from a lady at one of our regional offices. The actual letter usually follows in 24-48hrs, once we have processed it.
I have been seeing one of your ladies for some time and she has now asked to be removed from the site because we intend to marry. Can I still write to her through your
email service?
The lady was removed, as she is no longer actively seeking a partner. However, this
also means her profile page no longer appears. You can still write to her by clicking
here and entering her ID
number.
Sometimes I see boxes where the pictures supposed to be. How can I fix this?
The problem is cause by the browser timing out before the page has fully loaded. There are a lot of images on the site, so it's best to increase the size of you browsers cache to a reasonably large value. If you don't see an image, and the page has finished loading, try pressing the "Refresh" or "Reload" button on the browser, and this will try to load the page again.
I'm having trouble uploading photos when trying to send a letter. What am I doing wrong?
First, you first need to ensure the picture is less than 100kb in size.
This is the maximum size allowed. Secondly, the file needs to be in JPG format. Most imaging packages can save in JPG
format, so if the file has a different extention, convert it to JPG using a package such as Paint Shop Pro. Finally,
the filename must NOT contain any spaces. If it does, rename the file to remove the spaces. The pictures should now upload
without any problems. If you are sending a large number of pictures, it may take a few minutes for your modem to upload the
pictures to our server.
You have to decide whom you would like to meet? What age group? What other things matter to you, for instance education, height, weight, language ability etc.
