FilipinoCupid - Reviews

Review:
I was contacted by over 1000 women in a couple of weeks. I made a point of ignoring profiles that had photos of women in bikinis or underwear or were from teenagers (the majority). I was ruthless in weeding out potential scams, but discovered that even women whom I had independently confirmed to be genuine people were all eventually after money. Many asked for cash on 1st or 2nd contact - usually a relatively small amount to buy a webcam or for a "health check". Others were more clever and subtle - gaining my confidence over a couple of weeks, then hitting for a more substantial sum for some dire emergency. These included typhoon damage (I checked the weather charts - didn't touch her city), rabies injections (no bite visible on cam), kids asthma (couldn't tell me anything about required medication), parent's treatment for schistosomiasis (I pointed out that it costs $2 for one tablet, taken once a year), $1000+ costs for marriage annulment (for someone I had never met!!), expensive computer repairs, etc etc etc. I was even asked to pay for a jeepney registration - very creative. I agree with the guy above - go there and meet real people. Don't waste your time money and emotions on these sites, and do everybody a favour by referring other potential users to these reviews.

Pros:
zillions of contacts...

Cons:
...but all rubbish

Review:
Beware of ANY profile featuring beautiful girls! These people are either men posing as the girl pictured, using photos stolen from somewhere, or ANY person attempting to cheat you out of a few bucks. Almost all of them will tell you they don't have a webcam or a cellphone. Even if you do see them on webcam, it's either prerecorded or a girl put up to it by a pimp-type boss. Many are "too good to be true" and when you tell them you can't afford to give money, they get nasty and end the chat...never to be heard from again!! This a classic case of the cunning preying on the stupid! Don't let it happen to you!

Pros:
There most certainly are many genuine young ladys on Cupid who would make a great wife! I know this to be fact because I've lived in the Philippines for 3 years. My advice: If you are seriously concidering marrying a Filipina, GO THERE to begin your search in person. You can live for 30-60 days very inexpensively and properly court a lady in a more appropriate and efficient way. Stay away from big city girls (and big cities) You will be pleasantly surprized at the selection of fine young ladys. They are EASY to meet in public. It IS TRUE, they really don't put much importance on how you look. They value a real gentleman and focus on finding true love. Go about it the right way and you will not be disappointed!!

Cons:
I don't have much confidence in the entire concept of internet dating when there's 8,000 miles between you and her! There really is no sure-fire way of connecting with a girl online and realizing her compatibility to you though chat and webcam. It makes all the difference in the world to be local and set up a simple date. You will learn more about her in the first 30 minutes than you would chatting for a month! Mistakes are easily and quickly chocked as history and the quest goes on. Read what I said above. You could spot her out in public, walk up and introduce yourself, and the next thing you know, you have a dinner date with her that night. No games, no waiting, no guessing! Good luck!

Review:
This site is a total waste of time and money. If the pics are of a beautiful women, they are pics of filipina celebrities and not the real pics. All you will find on this site is tons of scammers constantly begging you for money. They all want money for a cam, food, requirements to get a job, etc. After my experience with this site and Cherry Blossoms, I stopped looking at any sites that feature filipina cuz they are bigger scammers than Nigerians ever were.
