The name of the game on this site, is making money. The standard gold membership is $35aud for a month, just to try it out mind you, and then rebilled automatically unless you take steps to login and change it in your settings. This to me, shows a devious marketing method in itself and it comes out of Australia, lol! How about CLC, you let your members choose if they want auto renewal or not, when they decide to part with their hard earned to try you out?

I am sure there are agencies involved on the China end. Many of the so called mail texts coming from the 'free' women is the same in content. Some women who are older and have paid or otherwise memberships, do seem more genuine, but beware the young gorgeous 27yo who writes to a man twice her age for love, that could be a disaster right there and simply a move to get her a better life and flick you later at her convenience, and take a whole lot of your asset value with her.

Beware of any free profile asking you to email them directly in the 1st contact, especially if they have a hot photo, any suggestive or sexy wording, and have not completed their profile, nor have it validated, and have NOT viewed your profile. Most of the women who write you, will not view your profile, now why is that? If they were serious about you, they would want to know what you have to offer wouldn't they?

CLC also will offer you a 2 day trial at some stage if you have not paid. I guess their model is that by offering it, you will generate a couple of contacts, start chatting, then your access to mail is stopped once the trial is up and then you will then pay. You can't read any of the previous messages once the trial stops. AND, the dialogue box of the offer means nothing whether you accept the offer or not, you can close it off, thinking you don't need it, and the offer still proceeds. Once the women see you with a Platinum membership, you will get contact requests guaranteed, even if you look like a train wreck.

Translation software is used on the site, which to be honest is not accurate enough. Chinese in any dialect, is such a difficult language to know what is being said verbally, let alone by a computer.

There will be a needle in a haystack that will be genuine, but for me, I am not interested in sifting through each one that sends a contact request to find out if they are real or not. I'd think it would be a lot less trouble, to visit China and then look for someone while there.

You can waste a lot of time on the site. Not many women have English ability and you will have to be patient with that. International romance with cultural and language differences will be a challenge. The logistics of setting up together will test the resolve and resources of you both.

Also be aware of something within the Chinese culture, its the 'lose face' deal. They will dishonour truth to save face, so if you are honest, you will struggle with this and it will be a very real problem at some stage.

I know, I was used by one such Chinese woman for a better life for her and her son, discarded like trash when it suited her. Don't rush in, and use your god given gift of discernment and be prepared to suffer if things go belly up later. She committed crimes in court, was not touched and got 60% of my asset value and I had to pay costs. Good luck guys!
