I'm an American who has used various sites over the past 6 months to talk to and meet Chinese women who are willing to develop relationship with western men. This site is probably the best for doing that as it has yielded my only sincere relationship so far. Admittedly, I haven't tried very hard on other sites, but at Chnlove at least you don't have to wonder about the background of the other person is there or what they are looking for. The ladies are truly ready for a sincere and long term relationship. I am currently in a wonderful marriage as a result of this site. I credit Chnlove for supplying it to me. But it ?s true that you need to watch out for scammers and dishonest marriage brokers who are simply there to get you spend credits?
Pros The site has rich experience in cultural dating and has been doing business with western standard. Besides, you are presented with some of the best educated and most beautiful women in China. Judged from what the profile descriptions and the site introduction, many women posted on the site are sincerely looking for a long term relationship. New profiles are updated very frequently. You can initiate contact with the ladies for FREE. Customer Service is excellent and responsive. Chnlove has also created a tips article database dedicated solely to dating and relationship advice, with a strong emphasis on self-awareness and cultural dating. This advice section includes a wealth of thoughtful and informative content as well as forums where you can discuss dating and relationships with other Chnlove members. The site call the profile section as their ?Photo Gallery? and it?s pretty entertaining. They?ve got some very beautiful photos of various Chinese women. Some also got video footage of the ladies self introduction. Profiles and searching are about as thorough as you want them to be.
Cons It is comparatively expensive to communicate with the women posted on the site. The service is partnered with the marriage brokers in China. So, the quality of those services offered by the marriage brokers may be shockingly poor. Dishonest business practice was observed in the last couple of years. But recently the site has been active in combating dishonest business practice of the marriage brokers.The large membership database makes finding mutual matches difficult.
I would never recommend this site to anyone. I had a horrible experience from a man who claimed he was from Redwood City who told me he was in Australia on business. He appeared to say all the right things and I was led down a path of deception. He said he was due back in the states in 2 weeks but had to make a quick stop to China to check on some project he was involved in. I then got an email from him indicating that he had been in a terrible car crash and was in the hospital. He asked for my phone number because he had been "thinking of me" and just wanted to hear my voice. I wondered how he was sending me an email since he said his laptop was destroyed in the crash. This all occurred when the swine flu epidemic hit and I was very concerned for his health as the hospital was quarantined. Long story short, he did call me, the phone call was brief, interrupted by the "nurse" needing to attend to him. A couple of weeks later he was out of the hospital but could not return to the US because his wallet and passport had been "lost or stolen" in the car crash. He told me he was using calling cards to call me and had borrowed money from business associates. I decided to save him money I would call him. However, I noticed a discrepancy in the time difference, he was telling me a completely different time then I was aware of. He then asked me if I could send him money so he could get back to the states, I said I could not, couldn't understand why his company couldn't get him back or why he had no credit card. Later when I got my phone bill I found out I had been calling Nigeria! I was pissed at him but also mad at myself, I have friends in Europe and other countries and didn't think to check the country code I was using. There is a site you can check to view hundreds of photos of these con artists, they use real people photos that they get from model sites and also from places like facebook and myspace. I don't trust this site and quite frankly for the most part, almost all the dating sites have jerks on them. I did contact the site and his ad was removed but he has shown up on many other sites.
I was also charged 191 dollars for services. I am considering starting a class action law suite against speeddate.com if anyone has an interest in joining me please feel free to contact me at [email protected] and put class action in the subject line. After reading some of the above it's time to close this company down.
Thought I would spill the beans as to the female side of things with this site - clearly the two things are very different. I joined this site (free for women), posted my profile and non-pornographic pics and within 24 hours I had received over 1,000 emails. I then filtered them but I was still receiving an unmanageable amount of mail. I can see there was logic in making membership free to women to even out the numbers but there must still be a huge disparity as I don't flatter myself it is because I am that attractive! Possibly not a scam (although clearly the owners are making their money) but certainly not well thought out as regards happy and satisfied customers.
Also, and again because of the ratio of men to women, I received a stack of emails all saying the same thing.
Pros Huge choice if you are a girly - you can even be particular!
Cons Overwhelming number of emails including the abusive ones when you don't reply because you can't possibly read them all!
After signing up (upgraded for 1 month) I was experiencing technical issues and had a few contractual issues as well. After 2 weeks of trying to contact them through their on-line customer service form and hearing nothing back, I closed my account (removed profile) and requested a refund. Of course they responded to the refund request pretty fast apologizing, but saying they don't give refunds. Fortunately I had used my American Express. They got my money back for me.
Pros buggy interface, misleading statements in paid-member benefits.
Cons unclear as to how many REAL members there are; buggy flash interface; misleading statements in paid-member benefits.
I was on there for almost two years, in the beginning it was good until everyone got on there. Now they only feature the same men and women all year long and everyone they leave hidden so only a select few can really be seen. I noticed this after doing searches and realizing I would have to go through 500 pages to see new faces. They put the best looking people upfront but I have a feeling they are fake profiles because I know a lot of people on there personally and not one of them is featured and because if you try to complain about the site on the blog, they will delete your post. If you complain that they deleted your post, they will delete that one too. That to me is a shady site that has too much control. No one I know even gets emails anymore and if they do the guys are all flakes anyways when it comes to actually supporting you in any way.
A lot of people are very upset with that site and have given up. No one I knew on there was doing well after this year started. They have moderators in the blog who urge young women to work harder and harder to please men and keep reminding them that it takes a lot of time, energy and effort to see the fruits of their labor. The point is to find someone to spoil you not a discount whore house. The problem for men is they get a lot of spam, and scams. I feel bad for the young women on there who can't see the complaints.
Pros I don't know if their is any good side to the site anymore. It's crooked.
Speeddate is such a blatant scam I cannot believe that they are able to stay in business. I filled out a profile when I was bored and there was some service you could buy from them for $3.95 called verification. I put my cedit card info down for this but it did not go though. About a mouth latter I opened an email from them and all of a sudden it charged my account $191 putting my account into overdraft. I could not find a service number for them anywhere and my emails to them went unaswered. At this point I called my bank and they where able to give me a number for them. I called the customer service number and got nothing, but stonewalling from them. To add insult to injury the women that prasumable contacted me where very unattactive lived hundred of miles away, or both. It looks like the website used a program to send out fake winks from profiles on the site Then they send you emails that tell you that you have lots of activity on your profile and then if you are not intersed in a membership they hit you with this $3.95 verification service, but charge you $191 for a full year non refundable. I am thinking case action law suit.
Cons It's a scam ripoff. Why not do pleanty of fish it's free and you might accually me contacted by somebody real from the opposite sex.
Why JapanCupid put their logo mark on all of member's photos? Then why can't I remove my photos from this site? Quit weird, and I heard many men and women on this site are married and then just looking for members to join their sex parties.
If so, they should have named it "Sexcupid" although I found that name's site is already on the Internet.
When I see some one complaining about dating site, such as any dating site, it makes me laugh. Why do we think that we are here to buy a female or a male, because we bought the membership we own every member, we get a negative comment from an opposite Gender and we start screaming at the site. I found my wife on Qiran.com and I can't be thankful enough, before I met her I got snub from various females but that does not mean that I blame the site. Before I join any site I read policy and the terms and If I like I join, otherwise I walk away. Keep it simple guys, blaming the tools is not always a good Idea, we recommended Qiran.com to 20+ friends and most of them seems to like it. When you join any online site you are joining a community so get ready for some negative comments from other Gender. After I got married I was charged Automatically by Qiran.com but then when I found they offer full refund it took me less then 6 hours get full refund, they didn't know I got married and I forgot to remove my Auto renew settings. So what is a big deal, chill out guys and gals and have fun.
Pros Best and fast tech support,
Easy to use fast browsing, no complication.
Easy to register, no difficult questions.
Cons Require every picture to be very clear, I had to upload 6 times before my picture was approved.
I feel that some people create their own dating and review websites at the same time to post positive comments and cheat and bluff people while encouraging them to subscribe and waste money.
I feel that dating websites possessors post positive comments for their own websites to cheat and bluff people and encourage them to subscribe and waste money.
International Love Scout is a pretty cool site - it's the only international dating site I've found that has girls from ALL over the world. It's pretty funny too.
When i first joined it was going very well, had one rude guy post me a message, of which i put in his place.
I am not sure if he complained or if it was when i was amending my profile. I got told i was not suitable for the site.
God only knows what suitable was supposed to be as i had a large response from guys in fact in my first few hours of joining i had 22 messages.
When i emailed the support email address, they did not give any reason for freezing my details, i had 16 messages i was not able to respond to.
When i asked why am i still being emailed updates from men who are interested and i am not being able to respond, still no response from the support dept.
I can clearly boil this down to racism as i am a good looking black woman who was very popular on this site.
There are hardly any black women on this site and my friend who is white persuaded me to join in the beginning. By the way she is still on the site.
I would not recommend this site as it seems if you are of colour looking for a stress free bit of fun, it does not apply to you.
Pros Lots of guys for women
Cons The support is crap and also if you are of colour then you clearly do not meet the criteria.
It is a shame majority of people here are just looking for fun (boyfriend/girlfriend relationship). nobody here is looking for marriage! we are muslims and we should stick to our deen and the teachings of islam. it is very disappointing. but i would say there are also some honest people here...
Pros easy to join
many members
Cons no one here is looking for marriage or serious relationship
I first joined Illicit Encounters about a year ago. As a natural sceptic and having had bad experiences on other dating sites I initially baulked at the high price. However after quite a few messages from ladies had built up in my Inbox temptation got the better of me and I paid to become a full member. I immediately got into a conversation with several ladies. What was refreshing was that they were unquestionably real! We had proper flirty chats and I arranged to meet one in person. It took a while though. I guess having an affair is a big step, so building up to a meeting in the flesh probably took longer than on a site like match.com. However what I liked was that the lady in question and I were in the same boat, with the same desires and expectations. When we did finally meet, it confirmed to me why I started looking for love outside of my marriage in the first place. It's filled such a gap in my life that I'm amazed I didn't do it sooner.
If my experience is anything to go by, Illicit Encounters was the fulfillment at the end of a sometimes frustrating journey through the minefield of online dating. It worked for me so it might for you!
Pros - You're looking for the same thing as the ladies on the site
- Secure - better than using emails, mobile phones etc.
- Genuine ladies
- Decent choice
Cons - Expensive
- More men than women, but not as bad as elsewhere
- Patience required in getting to meet up in person
I will copy & paste here an email I have just received from someone who approached on the web site, asking for my personal e-mail address because they wanted to talk further. Here we go:
Assalam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.
My Dearest Brother in Al-Islam,
May the love and mercy of Allah(SWT) Almighty be upon you and may he grant us high places in Al-junat Amin. I pray that this message of mine finds you in the best state of health and Imaan.
I thank you very much for accepting my call and for writing me back, and I pray that the almighty will open your heart to what I am about to say and I want you to know that this words are from my heart.
I am Mrs Fatima Azam Ali,named person from Kuwait . I am married to Late Hassan Azam Ali of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait embassy in Sudan for nine years before he died in the year 2001.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both very devoted muslims. Since his deathI too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$7.5 Million (Seven Million Five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with in oversea
security company, presently, this money is still with the Security Company in Europe .
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs memost is mystroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a moslem organisation or devoted muslim individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here-in.
I want this muslim organisation or individual to use this money in all sincererity to lay a fundation to assist mosques, orphanages,widows, and also propagating the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy Quran.
The holy Quran emphasized so much on ALLAH'S benevolence and this has encouraged me to take this bold step. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are new Christians converts and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by people I call unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner.Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficient and the most merciful. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and also the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this
development.With ALLAH all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund.I want you and the Muslim community where you reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted muslim worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve the ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness.Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay your reply will give me room in sourcing for a muslim organisation or a devoted muslim for this same. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
Jazakallahu Khayran.
Ma'salam
Fatima Azam
Please investigate this web site. It seems it 's got quite a few cons roaming freely.
Pros no pros
Cons -people contact you with obvious scams in mind
-Y ou keep receing emails about a person just looking at yr profile and you're asked to contact them because they are interested whilst they're only looking at it if anything.
I think it is a fake website. I saw 2 very high quality profiles for the same girl, she is like a glamor model and the two profiles are very different but i realized she is the same girl basically. If u wanna check that out, the two profiles are: dija06, and hanouna2010. Thanks for those who create fake profiles for pretty women in order to attract boys to pay the subscription.
I can not recommend Qiran.Com. Here's my experience ...
I spent a great deal of time and effort composing a high quality, 100% accurate profile. Upon its approval by Qiran's staff, I received several notices of interest, a few of which piqued my curiosity and inspired me to seriously pursue a spouse.
Unfortunately, less than two weeks after subscribing to Qiran, my profile was inexplicably and abruptly deleted. I received a brief notice informing me that I had provided a "fake/invalid" profile, which is nothing short of an egregious falsehood. Since then, I have attempted to contact Qiran's customer service on numerous occasions and received no response. They have no telephone number by which they might be reached. All inquires and complaints must be submitted via email or snail mail to a conveniently anonymous source.
While a few may have attained a measure of success with the site, there are many reviews (elsewhere) of Qiran that complain of overbilling and poor customer service, so I know I'm not alone. Personally, I wouldn't wish my own frustration with this service upon anyone.
So, these JERKS took out 200 dollars of my account, over drafting it and leaving me with no way to get ahold of them! So, I call my bank, and luckily, my bank requires a phone number and business name of all withdrawals. So I got the number, and got my money back. Here's the number guys! Hope you all get your money back! 877-328-3006
THANK YOU giving this information. Speed Date gathers confidential information and should provide a good business telephone number!!!! Nowhere do they offer a CONTACT number. They say that a subscriber can cancel at any time and offer a .99c per month service(???). If the site is so honest and good 'why don't they offer a contact number? I cannot join a site unless I have all and any questions I may have and I do not have all the answers about speed date.
I had a guy who sounded better than the rest. He said all the right things; made promises he did not keep; tried to get me to believe outlandish tales; took everything I said and twisted it until I got scared thinking he was crazy. All I got for my trouble was my computer hacked!
Meet Chinese women who are ready for a relationship

Any success on refund?
Review about SpeedDate.comSo has anybody actually gotten refund from the site? I am very curious about your approach to get your money back. Would anyone mind to share?
more rip offs from speeddate.com
Review about SpeedDate.comI was also charged 191 dollars for services. I am considering starting a class action law suite against speeddate.com if anyone has an interest in joining me please feel free to contact me at [email protected] and put class action in the subject line.

Review about Sites For DateIt is very good directory dating sites. I like it!
pissed off D.A.
Review about SpeedDate.comSpeeddate is such a blatant scam I cannot believe that they are able to stay in business. I filled out a profile when I was bored and there was some service you could buy from them for $3.95 called verification. I put my cedit card info down for this but it did not go though.

I am thinking case action law suit.
Cons
It's a scam ripoff. Why not do pleanty of fish it's free and you might accually me contacted by somebody real from the opposite sex.
Defintely JapanCupid is a scam
Review about JapanCupid.comWhy JapanCupid put their logo mark on all of member's photos? Then why can't I remove my photos from this site? Quit weird, and I heard many men and women on this site are married and then just looking for members to join their sex parties.
If so, they should have named it "Sexcupid" although I found that name's site is already on the Internet.
Cons
Do not waste your time and money!!!
Mr

Review about Illicit EncountersI first joined Illicit Encounters about a year ago. As a natural sceptic and having had bad experiences on other dating sites I initially baulked at the high price. However after quite a few messages from ladies had built up in my Inbox temptation got the better of me and I paid to become a full member. I immediately got into a conversation with several ladies. What was refreshing was that they were unquestionably real! We had proper flirty chats and I arranged to meet one in person. It took a while though. I guess having an affair is a big step, so building up to a meeting in the flesh probably took longer than on a site like match.com. However what I liked was that the lady in question and I were in the same boat, with the same desires and expectations. When we did finally meet, it confirmed to me why I started looking for love outside of my marriage in the first place. It's filled such a gap in my life that I'm amazed I didn't do it sooner.
If my experience is anything to go by, Illicit Encounters was the fulfillment at the end of a sometimes frustrating journey through the minefield of online dating. It worked for me so it might for you!
Pros
- You're looking for the same thing as the ladies on the site
- Secure - better than using emails, mobile phones etc.
- Genuine ladies
- Decent choice
Cons
- Expensive
- More men than women, but not as bad as elsewhere
- Patience required in getting to meet up in person
Mus;lims 4 marraige is a false dating site. Just scam
Review about Muslims 4 MarriageI will copy & paste here an email I have just received from someone who approached on the web site, asking for my personal e-mail address because they wanted to talk further. Here we go:
Assalam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.
My Dearest Brother in Al-Islam,
May the love and mercy of Allah(SWT) Almighty be upon you and may he grant us high places in Al-junat Amin. I pray that this message of mine finds you in the best state of health and Imaan.
I thank you very much for accepting my call and for writing me back, and I pray that the almighty will open your heart to what I am about to say and I want you to know that this words are from my heart.
I am Mrs Fatima Azam Ali,named person from Kuwait . I am married to Late Hassan Azam Ali of blessed memory who worked with Kuwait embassy in Sudan for nine years before he died in the year 2001.
We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both very devoted muslims. Since his deathI too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems.
When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of$7.5 Million (Seven Million Five hundred thousand U.S.Dollars) with in oversea
security company, presently, this money is still with the Security Company in Europe .
Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs memost is mystroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a moslem organisation or devoted muslim individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here-in.
I want this muslim organisation or individual to use this money in all sincererity to lay a fundation to assist mosques, orphanages,widows, and also propagating the word of ALLAH and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy Quran.
The holy Quran emphasized so much on ALLAH'S benevolence and this has encouraged me to take this bold step. I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are new Christians converts and I don't want my husband's hard earned money to be misused by people I call unbelievers.
I don't want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner.Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with ALLAH the most beneficient and the most merciful. I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and also the presence of my husband's relatives around me always. I don't want them to know about this
development.With ALLAH all things are possible.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund.I want you and the Muslim community where you reside to always pray for me.
My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted muslim worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve the ALLAH must serve him in truth and in fairness.Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay your reply will give me room in sourcing for a muslim organisation or a devoted muslim for this same. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders.
May the almighty ALLAH continue to guide and protect you.
Jazakallahu Khayran.
Ma'salam

BEWARE
Mrs
Review about Illicit EncountersI got a good response from this site. It's fun and you dont have to part with any money!
I hated the website
Review about Qiran.comI think it is a fake website. I saw 2 very high quality profiles for the same girl, she is like a glamor model and the two profiles are very different but i realized she is the same girl basically. If u wanna check that out, the two profiles are: dija06, and hanouna2010. Thanks for those who create fake profiles for pretty women in order to attract boys to pay the subscription.
Qiran.Com: Disappointing Service
Review about Qiran.comI can not recommend Qiran.Com. Here's my experience ...
I spent a great deal of time and effort composing a high quality, 100% accurate profile. Upon its approval by Qiran's staff, I received several notices of interest, a few of which piqued my curiosity and inspired me to seriously pursue a spouse.
Unfortunately, less than two weeks after subscribing to Qiran, my profile was inexplicably and abruptly deleted. I received a brief notice informing me that I had provided a "fake/invalid" profile, which is nothing short of an egregious falsehood. Since then, I have attempted to contact Qiran's customer service on numerous occasions and received no response. They have no telephone number by which they might be reached. All inquires and complaints must be submitted via email or snail mail to a conveniently anonymous source.
While a few may have attained a measure of success with the site, there are many reviews (elsewhere) of Qiran that complain of overbilling and poor customer service, so I know I'm not alone. Personally, I wouldn't wish my own frustration with this service upon anyone.
I got a phone number!
Review about SpeedDate.comSo, these JERKS took out 200 dollars of my account, over drafting it and leaving me with no way to get ahold of them! So, I call my bank, and luckily, my bank requires a phone number and business name of all withdrawals. So I got the number, and got my money back. Here's the number guys! Hope you all get your money back! 877-328-3006
Pros
NONE!
Cons
Liars! Scammers! NOT GOOD!
WHAT'S YOUR CONTACT NUMBER SPEED DATE?
Review about SpeedDate.comTHANK YOU giving this information. Speed Date gathers confidential information and should provide a good business telephone number!!!! Nowhere do they offer a CONTACT number. They say that a subscriber can cancel at any time and offer a .99c per month service(???). If the site is so honest and good 'why don't they offer a contact number? I cannot join a site unless I have all and any questions I may have and I do not have all the answers about speed date.
BEWARE
Review about Seeking ArrangementI had a guy who sounded better than the rest. He said all the right things; made promises he did not keep; tried to get me to believe outlandish tales; took everything I said and twisted it until I got scared thinking he was crazy. All I got for my trouble was my computer hacked!
