Do you know these online dating acronyms?
Online dating and chat are now not only a method of meeting new people, but also a special form of communication. Believe it or not, but there is even a giant PPL industry, if you know what this acronym stands for. No, it is not short for “people” as you might be thinking. PPL stands for “pay per letter” which is a billion dollar setup in which men from Western countries like the US, UK, Australia or the European Union pay to exchange messages with Russian women or other women living on a distant continent.
How do PPL sites with Russian girls work?
The distance prevents users from meeting to date in real life, so they can only talk online via email, IM, or video. For many lonely guys, this type of connection becomes a substitute for relationship. Disappointed by the real-life results with local women, they believe that perhaps a Russian girl is more accepting of their personal virtues and quirks. Or you can find some links offering chat to hot Russian brides looking for fun tonight. Many of these lovely image links are placed in various places online through paid advertising or affiliate programs.
In any case, attention-hungry Western singles flock to sites that offer dating Russian women. As soon as they land, they are inundated with emerging requests with sexy women in lingerie or seductive poses. All these beauties want to chat! The first message is immediately displayed and the man can reply. You send the reply and you get a message, but … To read it, you must now enter your credit card number or connect to PayPal in order to continue the promising conversation. What would you do? If you decide to go ahead and buy some “credits” that allow you to continue messaging this sweet girl (as per the picture), you are now part of the “pay per letter” realm, where you are charged a fee for each round trip message. .
Dating Chat Workers
In my estimates, there are around 30,000 people in Ukraine working on dating chats with foreigners who are paid around $ 0.50 per minute. Some of these workers use bots to send messages to all the men who log in, others do it by hand. The more clients a worker manages to attract and retain, the more money they make. Yes, both men and women work on dating chats pretending to be cute girls from the photos. The young Russian girls in the pictures have no desire to write their nights entertaining foreign singles online. They are dancing and sharing with local guys, of course. Mostly retirees, mothers keeping babies at home, and poor students trying to make ends meet work night shifts online chats with foreigners. Due to the time difference between the US and Ukraine, writers must be up at night to interact with love-hungry singles.
The setup is quite profitable for paid communication sites. Some users spend up to $ 1,000 a week in conversations with exotic beauties.
Dating Russian Women Without PPL
Paid correspondence websites grew like mushrooms after a downpour in the dominance of the international dating industry. Almost all Russian personal ads switched to this mode. Due to the high conversion and profitability, it is difficult to find a company where you do not have to pay for every letter, shared photo or minute of IM.
But there are some companies that still offer unlimited communication without pay per letter (NPPL). Such websites simply charge a regular membership fee, just like Match.com, for example. In this case, you will be communicating with the woman in the image, if she finds you interesting, of course. These websites even list Russian women living in the US and other Western countries. Since women are not paid to speak to foreigners, they only respond to men they like. This means that you may not get a 100% positive response to your EOIs.
What is EOI? It is short for “expression of interest”, a virtual icebreaker that sends for free and receives a response.
