There are two glaring problems with DateInAsia which turn it into a huge time-waster: 1. Incredibly shocking number of scammers; 2. Sudden ban for no reason (if they don't like your IP, for example). If you are serious about your search and if you don't have spare years to waste, then DateInAsia is obviously not the right place for you. Luckily I didn't waste much time on DateinAsia but my friend has been using it for two years without any single date. Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? This is what I keep telling him but he won't listen because he thinks he is saving money.
Nice to see I'm not alone the wide spread frustration over DIA. Like many I was banned even if my profile no offensive content. I reported a gold digger and they banned me. They protect the scammers more then they protect their general population of members who joined their site. This site and its current administrators are a an offensive joke. Spare your precious mouse clicks else where…
I put up a nice polite profile on Date in Asia with a normal picture. I sent off several well mannered messages and within a few minutes without warning had my profile deleted.
I tried again with 2 other email addresses and different photos and instantly had those accounts deleted too. I had used this site before with success several years ago but now it's diabolical. Probabyrn by badly programmed robots. Forget using it as you may be getting to know someone and from nowhere be deleted and lose your friend/s just when things were looking good.
Try another site even if you have to pay.
I just joined this site a couple of weeks ago. Have met several cool girls and had good vidchats and such with them; will presumably meet some in person. I actually think the site operates really cleanly and without fuss. I don't know why everyone is complaining about getting banned (?). Maybe that will happen but I don't have any reason to suspect it. One thing I'm curious about: what's the business model of DIA? Why is it free?
I used this site when I was working in China and found two nice girl. With one we were together for a couple of years.
I have also used it to date filipinas in the philippines and was quite good and yielded the same result as filipino cupid. I used both sites at the same time and the same search criteria produced a similar amount of members. The sites have also similar amount of scammers but they are very easy to spot. The interface of DIA is simpler and more user friendly than filipino cupid which does not have a very basic search criteria which is only on line members. Filipino cupid has scam tricks like automatic membership renewal which is a very dirty way to skim members pockets. DIA is really free and fully functioning no string attached. If one is no rush DIA can be all is needed to find some nice woman. So overall is far better than the so call "premium sites" which are only premium in find ways to suck your money.
First. They will close your account for no apparent reason. Apparently they have "volunteer moderator". I. e. People with no real qualifications to analyse and disect the abusers and scammers from the normal guys on the site.
As good as it gets for a free site. What are you guys complaining about? It is insane that a site offers free service and you guys complain about lack of quality. Insane! If you expect high quality invest a few bucks in AsianGirls4u.com or similar prime dating sites. It is not bad for a free site! Period!
Awww look at all the folks complaining. Fact is, i've NEVER had my profile deleted or had any issues whatsoever with this dating site.
Many nice girls (it's easy to spot the fakers and money grabbers).
It's a great site and if you're like me with a witty personality and charm then you'll have no problem.
I feel the guys who are complaining here have zero personality, pushy, pervy and most likely got reported for being an idiot.
5* review from me.
P.s. Yes i'm handsome too
There was a huge misunderstanding when I joined DateinAsia. Let me explain:
I am guy from Switzerland who just moved to London, UK. I am totally obsessed by Asian women. Two of my ex girlfriends in Switzerland were Asian and when I moved to the UK I wanted to find myself an Asian girl again.
I was browsing the internet and found DateinAsia and joined. Did not read that site is for people living in Asia (Asians or non-Asians) but not necessarily for Asian women living in Europe or North America. Total misunderstanding. I deleted my profile and joined AsianWomen4u which is also not really what I was looking for because it seems to be an adult hookup site. Nice for now but probably nothing I will find a serious relationship on.
From what I can tell DateinAsia looked good to me. It was not what I was looking for but the signup process was easy, I was able to browse the memberbase without any upgrade and it was not a big issue to delete my profile. Good site.
Considering that it's completely free to use it's really not too bad. Of course you have to be aware of scammers and gold diggers which happen to also be on the paid sites anyway.
Pros:
* It's completely free to use. None of that nonsense of a tiered system or having to pay just to read and respond to messages
*In my experience, most of the people on there are real - not fake bots. Of course there are exceptions.
*Scammers and gold-diggers are fairly easy to filter out if you use common sense. Did I mention they exist on other sites where you have to pay to play?
*User friendly interface both on a desktop and on mobile
*There are no restrictions on giving out off-site information to chat with people (e.g. FB, LINE, phone numbers.etc.) So you don't really need to stay on the site for too long if you meet your match.
Cons:
*While the site is free, I suspect they sell your email/information in exchange. I've received a barrage of spam emails on a throwaway email, which was only opened and used for DIA. Again, common sense goes a long way here with the personal information you provide.
*There is an approval process before you can actually use the site. I see some others mentioning their profiles being rejected so it's worth pointing out.
*There is moderation on the site. I've never had any issues with it but it seems to be a thorn for some people.
Overall, DIA is what you make of it. I think it's a mistake to blame a whole site on a some bad actors (scammers, gold-diggers, etc.) which are on many other sites too. If you go in with lower expectations and use common sense it's really not too bad of a site to meet someone.
Its a real perfect dating site totaly free i meer a lot of nice woman there okay some asking for money but its okay. Its easy using no fake people only real girls its the best site I experiance just perfect I think the one hoe says this is a bad site Are maybe to ugly to get attention there also i learned a lot about asian girls i Only want asian now I have met there a verry sweet girl Thank you for that
Wow, what's with all the haters? I have been reading the reviews, and it looks like a lot of these people don't know how to internet. If you post something in a foreign language (they make it clear, English only) you will probably be banned. If you post indecent photos or anything that violates the rules, you will probably be banned. If you talk nasty to the girls, you will probably be banned. If you block girls left and right just for sending you a message or viewing your profile (all you have to do is not respond to them and they will go away), you will probably be banned. If you only go for the ones that look like supermodels, you will probably get scammed and then banned for crying to the admins about your own stupidity.
I have been on that site off and on since it started and met lots of great girls on there when I was in the Philippines over the years. I had the same account the whole time, never any problems. If you act a fool on there and disregard the rules and have no respect for the girls, then you are gonna have a bad experience on DIA. The best thing to do is establish contact and then switch to facebook or skype or something like that.
LEARN HOW TO INTERNET, PEOPLE!
Whats can you see thats the worlds beguns my darlings. Evething i can do to you. How *******@ever agains forevere. Would you like to saw now in lovers in forest looking animals.

We well shall fullen in me. Where is yours fallen in me 4 ever. Please dont miss a things to you. When you are showing@ dancing 4 ever. Thanks.
Completely useless, total waste of time. They closed my account for no reason, I broke none of their rules. I asked them why, no response. Don't bother creating a profile because what ever time and effort you put into it will be lost.
Been active on the site for less than 2 hours. I was chatting with a nice person and we were getting alone very well, suddenly a message appeared telling me that my membership had been terminated. Date in Asia does not care about their members, they seem to care about something else. That makes 2 more frustrated customers. Thank's Date in Asia.
I think they just collect your data and pass it somewhere for identity theft. Otherwise I don't understand why they block and ban users for no reason. They turned from bad to worst. I switched to European sites. I had been vainly trying to find a real genuine woman on DateinAsia for 5 months without any success until my profile was blocked. But eventually I'm glad that their stupid moderators banned me. I moved further on and I eventually I found what I wanted. I recommend you guys to stop wasting your time on DateInAsia. Time is precious!
It seems almost everyone who uses this site has the same complaint - their account being inexplicably closed for no reason. You get a couple of days, start chatting to some people and then BANG! Account closed! It happened to me the first time I used this site years ago and then, surprise surprise it happened again years later. But don't worry, your not missing much. This site has gone downhill big time! It's full of scammers and fake profiles and you can't help but feel there is something nefarious and dodgy going on with the business or people that run this site. Overall best avoided.
Approximately 80-95% of the people on this are either totally fake or inactive.
There is no verification of the users, the site is crowded with scammers.
It IS free yes, but what does it matter if it doesn't work, it's like having a car
Without an engine.
A asian dating group on Facebook has the same function as Dateinasia has, but Facebook is more concerned about your security.
So unless you find pleasure in browsing fake profiles, this site is completely rubbish.
Just surf away. Totally waste of time.
Service is truly lousy. Saying, they may do what they like is not a valid argument.
1. This is a commercial site payed by advertisements - not paying money does not mean it's free.
2. They deal with very private members data. Some respect to the people who are the basis of their business should be obvious. But they really have none. Banning harmless members for no reason, with no explanation, giving no chance. That is really rude.
Answer: This has happened to many men including myself. I'm normally very aware about security on the net but this time I got in a DateInAsia trap. Since this is an absolutely fraudulent company, they closed my account for no reason after I made nearly $1000 payment. I have used sites like http://J4Love.net and never been overcharged by them (I'm going back to this site again). So I must admit I didn't expect such a blatant rip off. But DateInAsia manages to get away with scamming people this way. Based on the other reviews, I'm not their only victim. Save your money and avoid these rascals!
