Gentlemen:

I recently took the dating tour to Changsha. Changsha was fantastic. The Golden Source Hotel is in a great location. The views from the 27th floor were inspiring. People in the city were more than friendly, but few spoke English. It was relatively inexpensive and the food was great if you like spicy. There were lots of women at the socials, but a little too old for me. It was like I was being screened from women under 30. I am 57. Unfortunately, none of the women I met on-line were "available" when I arrived in Changsha (27-33 years of age). (I spent about $450 for "Credits" to develop these relationships.) In other words, it is questionable whether I ever corresponded with anyone but an interpreter before I left the US. I was told in Changsha the interpreters "tell white lies for the greater good," whatever that means. Presumably their goal is to get people to China to attend the socials, but I am guessing they also get paid per letter. So with respect to the email portion of the business, AsianDate is a fraud preying on lonely men. I suspect the vast majority of the money earned by AsianDate is from the purchase of credits for email exchanges. The interpreters are students who also earn college credits for translating emails.

With respect to the social events in China, you will meet a lot of women who are looking for a life partner. They are sincere and attractive. Yet, it is discouraging not to meet the women you spent so much time, and money, getting to know.

My advice- forget the emails. It is a waste of time and money. AsianDates is run by AnastasiaDate located on a small island in the Caribbean, so getting a refund even from Visa is not going to happen. I wrote Visa requesting a refund. Subsequently AsianDate "updated" my account to show several new emails that were "postdated" so I guess I am making a fool of myself by complaining about people not showing up because apparently I was told by one of the women that she was unavailable for a date for the entire ten (10) days I was in Changsha (though I requested a date six (6) weeks before I left and when I paid my tour fee.)

Let the buyer beware.
