Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on RusDate from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
Its main goal is to allow Russian singles from all around the world to chat and meet. Apparently, the largest part of its user base is comprised of Russians. However, anyone can become a member of the site as long as he or she can understand and speak the Russian language.
Most of its members are young adults. There are also more male than female members on the site, having an 8% difference. But note that the female members on the site are mostly Russians looking for love or something more casual.
