Marriage agencies VS Dating sites

As our life gets computerized, more and more people shift their life activities to the world of Internet. No one can say if it is good or bad, and we are to take it as a fact that even dating and marriage can be done through the internet. 

 Men and women should live together in couples, and the aim of marriage agencies and dating sites is to help them to find those, whom they can't live without. The notions of marriage agencies and dating sites merged together, and are now interwoven. The principal difference can be only found in the fact that marriage agencies remain closely connected with reality, while dating sites are just online entities. 

 To avoid further misunderstanding, we will try to distinguish between them in the following way. Marriage agencies are legally registered businesses that endeavor to introduce men and women of different countries for the purpose of marriage, dating or penpals. Marriage agencies can work on their own or in networks with the other marriage agencies. Online dating sites are dating systems which allow individuals, couples and groups to make contact and communicate with each other over the Internet, usually with the objective of developing a personal romantic or sexual relationship. Dating sites usually provide unmoderated match making over the Internet, through the use of personal computersor cell phones. Dating sites do not have regional representatives and do not moderate the created profiles.

 So, the first difference between marriage agencies and dating sites is in their ties to real physical life and in the fact of moderation. These two notions are to be explained in details.

 Physical reality of the marriage agencies is the office in the city of their location, where the managers accept new single ladies who want to get registered at the marriage agencies. Dating sites are often just internet servers, with a couple of programmers and an owner of them behind.

 Moderation in marriage agencies refers to the primary check-up of the profiles created. This means that the administrators check the information posted in the profile for adequacy, and require obligatory filling-in of certain boxes. Dating sites have the profiles active as soon as the profile owner wishes. No check up. 

 The next point of difference lies in the fee. Dating sites are mostly free for the users. Some accept small fee for registration, some dating sites charge for the membership. Marriage agencies accept fees not for registration, not for membership, but for the services they provide. This is not cheap of course. Usually the fees are quite the same at the different marriage agencies depending on the territory. If the prices differ, the reason might be in damping, or in different quality of service and additional benefits that are provided. 

 The services provided by the marriage agencies are different from those of the dating sites. Marriage agencies hire professional interpreters who translate the letters if the correspondents do not speak each other's languages. At the same time dating sites allow all types of correspondence and you can use online translator. And the quality of this translation is terrible and often leads to misunderstanding. There are numerous jokes on this subject, for example when the names are translated. If your name is Randy, and it is translated by the online translator, you will for sure hear from the lady no more. The marriage agencies help to avoid these situations. Marriage agencies control the information posted, regularly checking the personal data of the members. Marriage agencies provide the identification of the new single ladies, checking their passports, signing different documents, regularly reminding them of the rules they should obey if they want to further receive the services of the marriage agencies. Marriage agencies watch that the pictures of the single ladies registered were real, while dating sites accept any. Marriage agencies can give you good advice, and help you to find the partner who will suit you not only physically, but psychologically. The risk to fail gets higher if you choose dating sites. Marriage agencies arrange socials and flirt-evenings, where you can meet your destined one. Dating sites do not take care of it. The specialists from the marriage agency are available for consulting. The marriage agencies are to help the family-oriented people. The marriage agencies are supporting international legislature and in particular IMBRA, which serves to protect the ladies, and diminishes the risk of fraud information from the men clients. Dating sites are as risky for the single ladies as they are for foreign men. 

 The problem of scam is also one of the principal points of difference between the marriage agencies and the dating sites. Since the marriage agencies require fees for their services, they have to support the credibility of these services. This is why they strictly obey the international rules of anti-scam policy. Dating sites do not object having thousands of false profiles with fraud pictures, aimed at dishonest things.

 Both marriage agencies and dating sites have their target groups. And they have success inside them. If you haven't yet chosen, the information above can be of high use for you to make the right choice. And we are open for your questions!
