Bunch of Bullshit. There is not a serious Filipina on this website. Once they ask for your email, skype name, facebook name, or other personal information from you; you are fucked.
Pros Hot ass looking Filipinas on the website. Look for Filipinas in your own country. Go to a bar, school, library, or other place in your country. Hi how are you? I saw you sitting, standing, dancing, reading, jogging, or other; and I want to get to know you because you seem like an interesting person I would enjoy talking or other bullshit that does not require sex.
Cons Bunch of Crap. Do not try it... you are going to get scam. Do not let me tell you I told you so.
hhhhhmmmmm. I've only been on a few days but am definitely getting a lot of hits. The ladies are by in large reasonably good looking but luckily some don't look like fashion models so it gives a sense of honesty and sincerity. These women appear real and very interested. The on line prompt feature is nice---while you are viewing their profile you wre informed if they are on line. Some of the reviews were very helpful. I estimated $10---$12,000 for the whole process from meeting to marriage so that seems good. The problem is how credible and reliable is the info and how serious are the ladies? I wonder if there is some kind of local service in the Philippines that will independently vette the ladies and set up an "arranged meeting"? Does this site do that? That would be a big help.
Pros Rea,l reasonably good looking women who seem genuinely interested. The pictures and info definitely get you motivated to look.
Cons Apparent lack of the ability to get any reliable 3rd party verification of the info in the profiles. But any search for love is going to have its risks...this does have promise. I will have to see where I'm at in a month. The other reviews were helpful.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised by all the negative reviews and scam claims. Every time something doesn't work for someone it's a scam. That's not Japan Cupid's fault though. If you are not at least a "gold member" Japanese women will not consider you to be "serious" and you will surely get no results.
This website is intended for white men to meet Japanese women in Japan. Duh! If you don't live in Japan and are not white or Japanese your chances are nearly zero. If I sound racist, well I don't know what to tell you. This is the reality of Japan, when it comes to racism they are worse than we are.
There are always scammers and if you can't spot them you're probably not the brightest bulb in the world. Young pretty Japanese girl is interested in you and sends you an email first? Scam! Some other pretty young girl from another Asian country emails you? Scam or citizenship hunter.
Japan Cupid is a legitimate site and I think a very good one for what it is intended. The women lie about their age as a general rule and all want you to give them free English lessons. Who cares. Communication is going to be your biggest obstacle unless you speak fluent Japanese at a native level or vice versa. Keeps most all relationships at a very superficial level unfortunately.
I feel all the obstacles and hassles are worth it.
Pros Lots of Japanese women.
Cons Scammers, but easy to spot.
Too many citizenship hunters from other Asian countries I have no interest in.
i have read as many reviews about charmingdate as i could find. i could not find one - other than those written by charmingdate - that supports this so-called 'site.' this 'site' is full of fraudulent, misleading, scamming bunch of liars starting with the 'site' personnel. i can't say enough negative about this so-called dating 'site.' my specific complaints are no different from the myriad of complaints that i have already read and hopefully that YOU will read before it is too late. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM CHARMINGDATE AS YOU CAN........how this 'company' is still in business is beyond me........
I signed up for free on this site a few weeks ago and almost immediately I received over 30 emails from different men. I waited about a week and they paid for one month. As soon as I paid I emailed each man back and I only received 3 responses back. This makes me think that almost all of those emails were fake accounts created by this site to entice me to join. This may not be the case, but it seems odd that out of 34 men that emailed me only 3 responded.
I read Carlton's scathing review of Japan Cupid, so I thought I'd put my two cents' worth in. I found my wife on Japan Cupid, and also found a good friend, which was a bonus! Also, the responses I received were overwhelming- I actually didn't have time to reply to all of the young ladies who contacted me! I am forever in Japan Cupid's debt!
Pros Lots of funny, cute and personable young ladies, mostly marriage-minded. Unlimited contact, so long as one of the two is a paying member.
Cons There might be a few scammers working the site, but Japan Cupid is quick to step in and remedy any reports of possible scammers.
This is the dating spot if you are hard up to get laid. The women are not supermodels but truthfully they are do-able. The women have been pretty easy to hook-up with. My family doesn't know I've become this desperate to go on this online site to get my perv up, so I wouldn't recommend this to family but I would recommend it to other predators out there. Get your thrills.
Pros free trial and free messaging potential connections
I'm a handsome 45 y.o{younger looking than george Clooney}. male,very successful,everything a women would{at least a normal women}want.
Yet only get viewed 2 times a week first six weeks,only one coffee date.Needless to say mostly by women my age or older.
I don't know if it westcoast mentality or what, but the ladys here do not respond in any manner.
Even the ugly ones, I tried one ,very plain ,poorly dressed,yet after my third email suggesting we meet she froze!!go figure!
I wasted $60. and caution any MAN about this site.
Also MR. Markas{owner}prohibits contact with and females 14 years younger than you.
When I put my photo on a Asian dating site I get 2-5 emails a day by girls in their 20-30's!!
Wonder why these westcoasts all fatso's,perhaps to much gym,yoga and grouse grind!!!go figure.
Get me out of here.eeeks!!
15september2013
Pros none
Cons too many to mention!!
poor site all around.
Doesn't provide body weight.
I like all types of people. But tit seems that everyone who messages me on here is just out of prison,affiliated, or is looking for a cougar or sugar momma. Its fun to chat, haven't met anyone of relationship quality yet.
Pros If you are a decent looking woman it feeds your ego.
I have always loved Japan more than any Asian country and have always wanted to date a girl from there. I join Japancupid.com, create my profile, describing myself and everything I love about Japan. I upload photos and send TONS of messages. If I'm lucky, maybe......2 out of every 20 girls I message say anything back. Only half of them even read my messages or view my profile! I have two theories here:
1. Japanese women are racist as F#@$ and will not talk to foreigners on any circumstances or just don't like me no matter how nice I am to them.
2. Japancupid.com is a generic, corporate, money-grabbing site part of an entire scamming network with fake profiles and/or hired prostitutes who go after select men.
*Based on many other reviewers, my second theory sounds more accurate. I have heard too many good things about Japan to believe my first. Therefore I will moving to another Japanese dating site.
I signed up for all of one day because I found that this program is a little too simple in that there are no useful options for setting the location of a search (or if there are, they're too hard to find, which is basically the same thing), and your location setting is extracted from your phone or pc hardware and can't be edited (or if it can, no one seems to know how). What this means is that when you sign on, your profile location is set (and displayed) as your current location, which is basically like having a tracking device on you that tells everyone exactly where you are. That's too much of a violation of my privacy for my taste. It also makes it impossible to look for people to chat with who live near you (as opposed to where you currently are) when you're traveling away from your local area. Skout can still be a good way to meet people but you have to consider its limitations and be careful about what information it broadcasts.
Also, I couldn't find any kind of reasonable help on either the phone app or website versions of Skout, so if you have any questions you have to rely on an internet search, which isn't much help at all.
Cons Not well documented/no instructions on how to use it.
No way to edit or set a permanent or default location.
Location displayed in your profile tracks your actual location and tells everyone where you are.
Search for other profiles is set by your current location, and can't be set to a different one (or to your home area if you're out of town).
I received about ten notices of very attractive women interested in sex who "viewed my profile" This was followed by at least 6 that wanted to allegedly meet me. When I responded in the affirmative, not one...not even one acknowledged my reply - even with a "never mind, or "buzz off".
Lean a lesson. any nice looking woman can have men lined up without using this BS. Look in the mirror and talk to a fool...
I've been on the website for a about 2 weeks now and have received quite a few a messages but they are definate issues I'm having. First, the majority of the guys pay for a premium membership so their messages won't be screened but don't get paid to get verified. Maybe one out of 10 guys will even have a picture and some aren't willing to even send you one because "the internet is forever and they need to be discreet". Obviously I'm not going to go meet with a stranger that I don't even know what he looks like.
Others are very arrogant and basically just want you to come sleep with them on the 1st date and if you say your not a prostitute and not willing to come have sex right away they want to get an attitude.
Some are just into some weird 50 shades of grey stuff and worse and I wont even get into that.
The benefits of the site may be that everyone can be upfront about what they want, but personally I am not a prostitute, I am just looking for a non-commited relationship where theres benefits. But I cant agree to these guys that have no respect and have an expectation for me to come sleep with them at their houses when i don't know them, we've messaged only a few times, or in some cases, they wont even show you a pic, bcuz besides of moral issues, most of them think they're 30x sexier than what they are just because they have money and girls tell them what they want. So, I am yet to find someone that has tried to get to know me or doesn't just want to say what they want from sex...
Pros Openness about what each other expects.
Not totally commited relationships.
Cons Creepy old arrogent men.
Shady men.
Mostly married men.
Same thing as the previous review said. You get lots of flirts and lots of messages but not once do you ever get a response from one person. It's all bullshit
I have been on and off this site for a few years now. Initially it was good but the last two years I have to say there are so many fake profiles on it. You get mail from women and they let you see their photos and then as soon as you say lets meet they block you ! You cannot delete your profile and when it says it has over 800,000 'active' members, that is a complete lie. There are on average 600 members online at any one time and a lot of the ladies have been on there for years ! This site should be investigated as as per other complaints on here, best going to a bar and blowing the money on some champagne, at least you will meet a lady there
Pros None
Cons Too many fake profiles and women being on there for years !
My comment refers to the UK site.
1) It says in FAQ that standard members can view messages - in fact you can't even view who sent the message;
2) All messages are MANUALLY checked, censored and modified - indicates low traffic through the site;
3) Some faces were familiar from other sites - I found them, contacted, explained the reason, asked their opinion on SA -not a single response;
4) Pictures sent from someone posing at the site had no digital signature - means they either came from the Web or were edited.
Verdict: don't pay any fees and don't waste time.
Pros Many nice (albeit not real) profiles
Cons You have to pay for everything.
All messages are altered.
This site is a spin off of Blackcrush. It has the same format and is identical, check it out and see for yourself. Blackcrush has lots of fake profiles and automated messages and is exspensive to join. There is never that many women online the few there are the same ones. Brothers don't waste your time and hard earned money.
Gaydating.com is a scam. I let my membership lapse 2-3 times due to not ever getting much interest from other members, and each time it did, I suddenly began receiving notifications - daily - that members were sending me mail... all I had to do was re-subscribe to read them. When I finally did get hooked in and would pay to subscribe again, none of these members ever wrote back... and strangely enough, I was far and away very different from what they said they were looking for in their profiles. It became more and more obvious these were computer generated, especially when I received three in one day and I logged on to find my profile had been deleted! I wrote to the site and told them my suspicions, but despite their claim they would reply to me within 24 hours, they never wrote back. This is an example of a site that seriously needs to be investigated... they'll do whatever they can to get your money.
Pros Supposedly a lot of members.
Cons Notifications and emails once your subscription lapses are clearly computer generated.
Site is not "free," despite their claims.
Yet another example of gay men exploiting each other to make a profit.
Optimist to the end, but......not much response on this site.
I think all the guys are still looking for the cutest, hottest, babe and
actually think they will find it. I am still cute, but not young anymore.
This site is not working out for me. As usual, it is for the younger, and cutest.
Pros profiles easy to read
Cons no responses, so I question if these are real people?
this is the worst black dating site alive. messages are automated most times and fake made up people. you will send private messages to ten thousand people and may get one reply all black folks cant be that broke... text by phone is a rip off they will send you automated messages and once you ask for an email or phone number or tell them to link you on it the messages stop. guys BEWARE WATCH OUT SCAM THING!!
Pros NONE
Cons ITS ALL FAKE 90% OF IT IS... ITS JUST PICTURES MEN THATS ALL..
I started to suspect this site just by the photos. All the photos look like they are just too professionally done which indicates these may be models from a professional model site.
I received about two letters from this one woman. The first letter spoke about her kids yet her profile said she had no kids and this was even verified when I asked her about children and she indicated she would like to have a child one day, but then in her second letter, she spoke about her child and how she enjoyed being a mother........okay, something is up so I questioned her on this. Here is the letter I received from her or should I say, her translator although her profile list her English ability as "GOOD!"
Dear Rick,
I was so glad.that you also got interest in me.You have sent me a very beautiful letter my dear.Now i'm attrackted by you too.Your photo is nice.yes of course i really got interested in you.your words made me so glad inside my heart.
I would like to know more about you.about admirere letter.actually i wanted to start talking with you that was why i sent you.in the content about kid i know.becuase i mistakely. but true thing is i would like to start talking with you.i think you will understand me.
I'm waiting to hear more about you...
take care
Anastasia
Of course, the English is quite bad and she says she was mistaken about her kid. Mistaken?? Okay, whatever and I thought these women are suppose to be using professional translators but I see that is not the case here. Notice she is trying to correct her mistake about her child.....I assume. The letter is bad, the grammar is bad, the spelling is bad and this is suppose to be a professional agency? Smells like a scam to me and what is worse, this letter was sent to me not once, but twice......perhaps from two different people........who knows. This woman looks like Angelina Jolie, very attractive, nice shape........definitely professional model photos with some downplayed photos put in the mix.
Okay, if anybody is reading this, do yourself a favor and try one of the other sites such as filipinoheart.com if you are into women from parts of Southeast Asia or afrointrocution.com if you are into African women, but it just doesn't stop there. These type of sites have sister sites for all races, cultures, ethnicities, etc. The price for a Gold membership is only $29.99 per month and within that month, you can correspond with as many women as you please. And trust me, these women are real. I have met the nicest women from Filipinoheart.com and we were able to correspond by phone, by SKYPE, by yahoomessenger, by mail, we had video chats. I even met several women from afrointroductions.com and I am corresponding with this woman also by all avenues of communication.
And they even call me by phone. Of course, with these type of sites, there will be your occasional scammer, but not many. Most of these women are serious about getting to know you and will give you their e-mail contact, their mobile number and if they do not have a PC, they will happily schedule a time with you and go to the internet café and do a CAM to CAM with you.
Do not worry about these women wanting money. Many of them do work and are very independent. I have been associated with this one woman from the Philippines for about a year now and she mentioned their electricity was about to be turned off and when I offered to help, she said "No, please don't." She indicated to me her bill just happened to come at a time when she did not get paid and her mother failed to tell her it was due; but I spoke with her recently and she said the electricity is back on. She paid the bill. She went on to say she appreciated my offer but that is why she works.......to pay her own way. She is just looking for someone to accept her as she is and who will be faithful and honest.
In fact, I had been speaking to another one who is from China and she had asked if she could have my home address which I gave her since we had been speaking for about four months now. Well, one day in the mail, I received a delivery and the box had some Chinese writing on the outside and I recognized it was from this woman. I opened up the box and inside I found a small personalized photo album of her, her child and her family enjoy some events such as a birthday party and what filled the box was a 2 foot soft and plush teddy bear with a card attached wishing me a Happy Belated Valentines Day. I was quite surprised.
These type of sites are your best bet. Stay away from CharmingDate.com, but I have to admit, their sister companies iDateAsia.com and Chn.Love.com seems to be a bit better and more trustworthy, but still, the payment scale is the same since all the sites operate in the same manner, but I was able to meet what seemed to be sincere members..........
If you want to be sure, do the other sites for that small monthly fee which will give you endless opportunities to meet as many women as possible. Believe me, one month is probably all you need. Some may just send you a notification that they are "interested", but the Gold membership offers the woman a chance to write to you so I tend to look at the women who correspond by writing. I don't think you will be disappointed if you go this route.
Thank you.
Pros If you are into looking at photos of pretty woman and fantasizing this may be the woman talking to you, this is your site.
Cons You are never sure of who you are speaking to.
You are not in control of the situation when trying to secure personal contact.
Cost too much for every single thing you do such as reading a letter and sending a letter, making a call, etc.
Some photos, just don't seem like your everyday run of the mill woman.
The money you spend will add up quickly with no results.
Results are not guaranteed.
You may walk away disappointed once you see just how much you spent.
When I first went on MeetMe a few months ago, I'd liked that it was free, had a lot of interesting down to earth women and some fun features. The biggest drawback is the arrogance of management. There is no place for two-way conversation. They tell you what their doing and that's the end of that. You can send messages but hear nothing in return. Lately they have cut back on interesting facets of the site without asking for respecting members input.
Pros Interesting, entertaining members.
Cons Management arrogance, non-customer friendly, bringing down the site.
darn the luck
Review about Online Booty Callwas hoping it was a legit site

Review about OurTimeBeen on a few dates...Luckily nice men...but still not sure what they want...I guess with age does not come wisdom...
Pros
Opportunity
Cons
The men are not true to their profiles...I think Viagra has given them Superman Complex.
Scam
Review about BBW DesireSame thing as the previous review said. You get lots of flirts and lots of messages but not once do you ever get a response from one person. It's all bullshit
Pros
None
Cons
Waste of money.
Illicit Encounters.....Fakes
Review about Illicit EncountersI have been on and off this site for a few years now. Initially it was good but the last two years I have to say there are so many fake profiles on it. You get mail from women and they let you see their photos and then as soon as you say lets meet they block you ! You cannot delete your profile and when it says it has over 800,000 'active' members, that is a complete lie. There are on average 600 members online at any one time and a lot of the ladies have been on there for years ! This site should be investigated as as per other complaints on here, best going to a bar and blowing the money on some champagne, at least you will meet a lady there
Pros
None
Cons
Too many fake profiles and women being on there for years !
Why I consider SA a scam
Review about Seeking ArrangementMy comment refers to the UK site.
1) It says in FAQ that standard members can view messages - in fact you can't even view who sent the message;
2) All messages are MANUALLY checked, censored and modified - indicates low traffic through the site;
3) Some faces were familiar from other sites - I found them, contacted, explained the reason, asked their opinion on SA -not a single response;
4) Pictures sent from someone posing at the site had no digital signature - means they either came from the Web or were edited.
Verdict: don't pay any fees and don't waste time.
Pros
Many nice (albeit not real) profiles
Cons
You have to pay for everything.
All messages are altered.
Scam
Review about Mr and Miss BlackThis site is a spin off of Blackcrush. It has the same format and is identical, check it out and see for yourself. Blackcrush has lots of fake profiles and automated messages and is exspensive to join. There is never that many women online the few there are the same ones. Brothers don't waste your time and hard earned money.
A scam
Review about GayDating.comGaydating.com is a scam. I let my membership lapse 2-3 times due to not ever getting much interest from other members, and each time it did, I suddenly began receiving notifications - daily - that members were sending me mail... all I had to do was re-subscribe to read them. When I finally did get hooked in and would pay to subscribe again, none of these members ever wrote back... and strangely enough, I was far and away very different from what they said they were looking for in their profiles. It became more and more obvious these were computer generated, especially when I received three in one day and I logged on to find my profile had been deleted! I wrote to the site and told them my suspicions, but despite their claim they would reply to me within 24 hours, they never wrote back. This is an example of a site that seriously needs to be investigated... they'll do whatever they can to get your money.
Pros
Supposedly a lot of members.
Cons
Notifications and emails once your subscription lapses are clearly computer generated.
Site is not "free," despite their claims.
Yet another example of gay men exploiting each other to make a profit.
is this high school?
Review about OurTimeOptimist to the end, but......not much response on this site.
I think all the guys are still looking for the cutest, hottest, babe and
actually think they will find it. I am still cute, but not young anymore.
This site is not working out for me. As usual, it is for the younger, and cutest.
Pros
profiles easy to read
Cons
no responses, so I question if these are real people?
redirect
Review about CougarPersonalAdsThe site, after you join sends you to horny matches.com

Cons
Not a real site

Pros
NONE
Cons
ITS ALL FAKE 90% OF IT IS... ITS JUST PICTURES MEN THATS ALL..
Not Real
Review about CharmingDate.comI started to suspect this site just by the photos. All the photos look like they are just too professionally done which indicates these may be models from a professional model site.
I received about two letters from this one woman. The first letter spoke about her kids yet her profile said she had no kids and this was even verified when I asked her about children and she indicated she would like to have a child one day, but then in her second letter, she spoke about her child and how she enjoyed being a mother........okay, something is up so I questioned her on this. Here is the letter I received from her or should I say, her translator although her profile list her English ability as "GOOD!"
Dear Rick,
I was so glad.that you also got interest in me.You have sent me a very beautiful letter my dear.Now i'm attrackted by you too.Your photo is nice.yes of course i really got interested in you.your words made me so glad inside my heart.
I would like to know more about you.about admirere letter.actually i wanted to start talking with you that was why i sent you.in the content about kid i know.becuase i mistakely. but true thing is i would like to start talking with you.i think you will understand me.
I'm waiting to hear more about you...
take care

Of course, the English is quite bad and she says she was mistaken about her kid. Mistaken?? Okay, whatever and I thought these women are suppose to be using professional translators but I see that is not the case here. Notice she is trying to correct her mistake about her child.....I assume. The letter is bad, the grammar is bad, the spelling is bad and this is suppose to be a professional agency? Smells like a scam to me and what is worse, this letter was sent to me not once, but twice......perhaps from two different people........who knows. This woman looks like Angelina Jolie, very attractive, nice shape........definitely professional model photos with some downplayed photos put in the mix.
Okay, if anybody is reading this, do yourself a favor and try one of the other sites such as filipinoheart.com if you are into women from parts of Southeast Asia or afrointrocution.com if you are into African women, but it just doesn't stop there. These type of sites have sister sites for all races, cultures, ethnicities, etc. The price for a Gold membership is only $29.99 per month and within that month, you can correspond with as many women as you please. And trust me, these women are real. I have met the nicest women from Filipinoheart.com and we were able to correspond by phone, by SKYPE, by yahoomessenger, by mail, we had video chats. I even met several women from afrointroductions.com and I am corresponding with this woman also by all avenues of communication.
And they even call me by phone. Of course, with these type of sites, there will be your occasional scammer, but not many. Most of these women are serious about getting to know you and will give you their e-mail contact, their mobile number and if they do not have a PC, they will happily schedule a time with you and go to the internet café and do a CAM to CAM with you.
Do not worry about these women wanting money. Many of them do work and are very independent. I have been associated with this one woman from the Philippines for about a year now and she mentioned their electricity was about to be turned off and when I offered to help, she said "No, please don't." She indicated to me her bill just happened to come at a time when she did not get paid and her mother failed to tell her it was due; but I spoke with her recently and she said the electricity is back on. She paid the bill. She went on to say she appreciated my offer but that is why she works.......to pay her own way. She is just looking for someone to accept her as she is and who will be faithful and honest.
In fact, I had been speaking to another one who is from China and she had asked if she could have my home address which I gave her since we had been speaking for about four months now. Well, one day in the mail, I received a delivery and the box had some Chinese writing on the outside and I recognized it was from this woman. I opened up the box and inside I found a small personalized photo album of her, her child and her family enjoy some events such as a birthday party and what filled the box was a 2 foot soft and plush teddy bear with a card attached wishing me a Happy Belated Valentines Day. I was quite surprised.
These type of sites are your best bet. Stay away from CharmingDate.com, but I have to admit, their sister companies iDateAsia.com and Chn.Love.com seems to be a bit better and more trustworthy, but still, the payment scale is the same since all the sites operate in the same manner, but I was able to meet what seemed to be sincere members..........
If you want to be sure, do the other sites for that small monthly fee which will give you endless opportunities to meet as many women as possible. Believe me, one month is probably all you need. Some may just send you a notification that they are "interested", but the Gold membership offers the woman a chance to write to you so I tend to look at the women who correspond by writing. I don't think you will be disappointed if you go this route.
Thank you.
Pros
If you are into looking at photos of pretty woman and fantasizing this may be the woman talking to you, this is your site.
Cons
You are never sure of who you are speaking to.
You are not in control of the situation when trying to secure personal contact.
Cost too much for every single thing you do such as reading a letter and sending a letter, making a call, etc.
Some photos, just don't seem like your everyday run of the mill woman.
The money you spend will add up quickly with no results.
Results are not guaranteed.
You may walk away disappointed once you see just how much you spent.
Fading Fast
Review about MeetMe.comWhen I first went on MeetMe a few months ago, I'd liked that it was free, had a lot of interesting down to earth women and some fun features. The biggest drawback is the arrogance of management. There is no place for two-way conversation. They tell you what their doing and that's the end of that. You can send messages but hear nothing in return. Lately they have cut back on interesting facets of the site without asking for respecting members input.
Pros
Interesting, entertaining members.
Cons
Management arrogance, non-customer friendly, bringing down the site.
