Dating apps are among the most profitable. The amount of time people spent on their smartphones per day increased from 88 to 203 minutes between 2012 and 2018. The top dating apps capitalised on this trend by developing quick-response features that enticed users to swipe, match, and chat as they went about their days.
Today, the average single millennial spends about 10 hours per week on dating apps, hoping to strike gold. Online dating apps have captured our time and attention like never before, which is largely good news for the world’s hopeless romantics. Here is a list of top Russian and Ukrainian dating apps:
RussianCupid
Try RussianCupid if you want to meet attractive Russian women online before planning a trip.
It’s one of the most legitimate Russian dating sites out there, aimed at connecting Western men with relationship-minded Eastern European women.
Cupid Media, one of the most reputable names in the international dating industry, operates the site.
It is completely free to create a profile and search for attractive women using a wide range of search criteria. You can narrow down your matches based on information such as languages spoken, religion, willingness to relocate, and other important factors such as physical appearance, occupation, and lifestyle.
UkraineDate
UkraineDate is a well-known Ukrainian dating website. Cupid Media owns and operates it, so it’s part of a large group of reputable international dating sites.
Many of the attractive Ukrainian women on this dating site are looking specifically to meet (and marry) single Western men. This is an excellent place to start your search for your Eastern European beauty before boarding an aeroplane.
Although basic functions such as creating a profile and viewing photos are free, sending your first message and using the chat functions require a premium subscription. Only messages sent by Gold or Platinum members can be responded to by free users.
Elena’s Models
Elena’s Models is one of the most popular Russian and Ukraine dating sites, and it has been assisting Western men in finding the woman of their dreams since 1999.
You have three membership options, or you can pay a one-time fee to contact each member.
It costs $20 for one month of unlimited messaging between you and one match. It costs $25 per month for messaging and texting. It costs $30 per month to add video chatting.
Teamo.ru
Teamo is a popular Russian dating app and website, especially among women looking for a long-term relationship or marriage.
Signing up necessitates completing a lengthy personality test designed to reveal 17 different characteristics. These characteristics are then used by the site’s matching algorithm to determine which profiles you will see.
The exam includes basic questions such as occupation, religion, level of education, and so on, as well as more abstract questions.
Badoo
If you don’t already have a trip to Ukraine planned, the first two dating sites on this list are your best bet. However, if you’re about to travel there or are already there, give Badoo a shot.
There’s an “Encounters” section where you can swipe left/right on profiles, and Badoo also has a feed that shows nearby users who share your interests. You can message someone if you “like” their profile and there is mutual interest.
Badoo will also notify you if and when you’ve crossed paths with other Badoo users who share your interests. All of the essential features you’ll need to meet Ukrainian women on Badoo are completely free.
Mamba.ru
Mamba, which is similar in structure to Badoo, is a popular dating site for Ukrainian as well as Russian singles. It’s a true international dating site because you can meet beautiful women from all over the world.
Mamba attracts women seeking all types of relationships, from friendship and flirtation to marriage.
You can browse profiles in the “Encounters” section or use the detailed search criteria to find women who fit your “ideal partner” criteria. It is free to browse profiles and send messages.
A premium membership unlocks additional search filters such as height, weight, and sexual preference, as well as the ability to undo your last swipe in the “Encounters” section.
Tinder
Tinder is now available wherever you want to go, Russia and Ukraine are no exception.
You’ve probably used Tinder before, but here’s how it works in case you haven’t: When two users swipe right on each other’s profiles, they form a match and can begin exchanging messages.
While Tinder has a more laid-back vibe than “serious” dating sites like Teamo, RussianCupid, UkraineDate and Elena’s Models, you’ll find women looking for all types of relationships, from hookups to marriage.
