I recently went to Kiev for a few days with the express purpose of (a) getting away from the wife and kids, and (b) shagging some local girls. I wasn't sure whether to tag this on the bottom of a recent thread or start a new one, but I figure that there hasn't been a new thread on Kiev for a while, and this way it might get read more and perhaps be of use to more people.
I have a slightly different angle to others who have written about Kiev. I studied Russian at uni and I'm a fairly fluent speaker (though it's getting a bit rusty these days). In other threads, people have said that anyone with knowledge of Russian could really have a great time in Kiev. While that's possibly true, I didn't actually find it to be particularly easy.
My specific focus was not on picking girls up at strip clubs or similar places, but finding them through the internet. That's the way I used to do it in Moscow when I lived there, as there were some great web sites. Sadly, the same can't be said about Kiev. I trawled through all the sites mentioned in other Kiev posts on here, consisting of:

External Link/Members OnlyI contacted several girls ahead of time via WhatsApp. Every single one that replied turned out to be an agency ("salon" in Russian). Some tried to string me along and continued to claim to be the girl in the photo, but most came clean pretty quickly and just sent me a load of photos, as many as 100 or so at a time. I even got the same batch of photos from three different numbers, so presumably there are different agencies peddling the same girls.
Basically, it seems to me that this is what happens for virtually all of the web sites I listed above. So if you choose this route to find girls in Kiev, don't bother wasting much time trawling through the profiles. Just contact a salon and cut to the chase. I'd say that 90%+ are fake and just designed to draw you in. It doesn't make any sense, but that's the way they do it. Happily, the photos that they subsequently send through via WhatsApp are fairly accurate, though in my experience the girls were much plainer in real life than in their photos. They don't like answering the phone either; I guess it's probably some sweaty fella pretending to be a female operator at most of these places.
If I was to do this again, there's only two websites I would place any faith in if I wanted to find a genuine profile:
External Link/Members Only. This is updated every day, and I get the impression that there are a higher proportion of genuine independent girls on here. Be suspicious of any profiles in which the girl is hot, cheaply priced, has professional photos and shows her face in all of them. It's probably a fake profile and you'll be calling a salon.
External Link/Members Only has a mix of salons and independents, but I would try to find girls with feedback at the bottom of their profiles. Google Translate would be ggod enough to give you the gist of what the comments are about. I only found one girl (out of five encounters) with a genuine profile on here, but I'm pretty sure there are quite a few more genuine ones. More so than the other web sites.
