FilipinoCupid

I am a Platinum member of FilipinoCupid.

Variety of genuine women looking for long term serious relationships. I've seen a lot of negative reviews saying the woman are nothing but scammers. In my experience this is not true. Are there scammers? Absolutely. But most of the women on the site are generally looking for love. Will some women ask for money? Yep. But don't send money to people you haven't met in person. The Philippines is not a first world country. Most of the population is poor and there are not a lot of jobs to be found. The jobs there are, pay an average $8 a day. So of course, any unexpected expenditure is tough on them. Guys, do a little research or better yet, go visit the Philippines to see for yourself. Your lack of being educated on the Philippines is not a problem with the Filipino Cupid website. If you are looking for fun or hook ups don't bother with this website, go to Tinder. These women are not looking for you. They can find all that in Filipino males. Be kind, polite, understanding and respectful and you will meet plenty of genuine women. Also, for those complaining of being billed, they tell you very clearly when signing up for a paid membership that you are on auto renew. All you have to do is go to your settings under payments and turn off auto renew. If you fail to read and understand what you are committing to, that is your problem and not the sites.

Pros
Many real women looking for a committed long-term relationship.
Yearly membership is a bargain compared to a lot of other sites.
With paid membership, reverse matches and mutual matches are very beneficial.

Cons
Most search functions don't give enough options.
Lack of detailed profiles among Filipinas
No video chat on site

Tips to avoid scammers
Don't send money to people you have not met in person
If their profile lists a location outside of the Philippines, be very cautious. Almost all residing in United States and China profiles are scammers.
Don't disrespect the women here by asking for nudes or sex chat or they will disrespect you right back by taking your money.
If they want to take you off site to Google chat or Whatsapp immediately, don't. Stay on the site. It makes it difficult for site admin to remove scammers if they cannot see the messages.
Follow your gut feeling. It's almost always right.

I hope my review was helpful to those of you on the fence considering buying a paid subscription.

Lots of very pretty but maybe very underage girls on this site. I was looking for a woman with a family as I had seen poverty in the RP when based at Subic and decided I'd help a family. Struck gold with a lovely Mom of four and have met them and her large family. Very sweet people, very humble and hard working. I did not meet with success overnight so keep looking if you strike out with some minors or fakes. Beware of women who are from Thailand. Got burned. She was on this or a competitive site and the money lost was good tuition. My Mom of four and I talk daily and I read the kids stories. We were to meet in April but COVID-19 forced the airline to cancel the original and second bookings. We will still be together and visit the entire family. It is a great relationship a year old as of this coming July.

After I joined Filipino Cupid I was amazed at how many women their were on the site... I met quite a few women that I quickly identified as scammers... you can tell if you listen closely. I decided to talk to two I suspected were scammers at the same time on Skype (that is the vehicle of choice of the scammers) and found that the conversation in a few instances were identical from one another.
As opposed to the lady I found... she was very pretty, genuine, honest and offered credibility in terms of her background and trustworthiness. (I actually narrowed my search down to 3 ladies, all were credible and pretty, however, each came with them their own circumstances and I mad4e my final choice).
Be very alert and aware of the type of women that are on this site. Be smart and have common sense and as President Reagan used to say; "Trust by verify". If you get to the point where she is coming to the states, be aware that immigration requires them to have "Travel Show Money"... so, be prepared to give them the funds to show immigration. But, that said... this is where the scam begins... so, be smart and if you feel the person has given you enough credibility through her words, actions & social media... then, enjoy the ride and I wish you the best.

I was a member of Filipino Cupid for about 5 months. And eventually met my beautiful fiance. But along the way I encountered a few scammers. A few words of advice. I'm in my 50's and I'm just an average looking guy. With an average blue collar job. My fiance is 45 years old but very sweet and really gorgeous. I traveled to Hong Kong to meet her about 8 months ago. She's sweet and beautiful and a genuine Christian like myself. She's never asked me for a dime and refused to accept money from me on several occasions. We're processing her fiancé visa now and we Skype 3 or 4 times a day. I have met several really nice beautiful girls on the website. Of course I've met several scammers too. It's easy to pick them out. Once they start asking for money end it right away and block them. I had several beautiful young girls offer to strip for me on camera. I never took them up on it. Block them too. Be realistic. Don't go for the 20 year old gorgeous bikini models. There are plenty of beautiful women close to your own age with good hearts and good intentions. Good luck.

I was on there a couple of times and talked to a few women. I even did the trick where you just type any thing and see if it triggers the machine to do an atomatic response. On top of all of that I was on there facebook page and saw a chick asking for her account to be reactivated. And this is on facebook! So the women there are definitely real. The site is NOT scamming you but it doesn't mean the girls aren't.

Obviously everyone will see this so i thought i'd leave a review and some good, free advice on things to look out for.

Just created my profile today. My inbox filed with over twenty notes with in the first two hours as i am not ugly. As the day progressed i have ran into at least 3 scam attempts. They are doing this new thing now where (if u make it that far) you get on skype with them and u see the girl but what "she" is saying doesn't pare up with her facial expressions. Honestly i don't know how they have been scamming ppl because they really aren't that smart lmfao!

So to the miserable guys out there start of being nice but not too needy. Don't over sell your reaction when she gives u a compliment, all females are the same, mentally. U want to do just enough to make it to a video chat. They may say something is wrong with the camera (flag).
They may say something is wrong with the mic (half flag)

Once you see her face THEN u become the predator of the conversation. Be subtly demanding. The idiot in the shadows will become annoyed, then you type "wave" in the chat box. They respond with bs you respond with "do it." If she SMILES and waves their is your sign that you are being scammed.
American women are horrible so i understand the frustration but don't be desperate for a pretty smile and an easygoing conversation. Good luck fellas.

Heaps of scammers, heaps of nice people. Visited my friend at her home and work place. Honest to a fault. I have told her to buy(my money) better furniture for her and her nephew, but she has neglected to do so. Poor as dirt because of Christian principles. A happy smiling respectable lady who deserves better.

Why was my profile terminated and deactivated without warning? I have emailed to ask the reason, but not even one of my emails was answered. Why is this happening? Annie E. Gaspay of Dasmarinas City Cavite

I would recommend the site. You have to be very careful on the site. It's best initially to establish a few friends or contacts on the site. Over a week or two on the site you will see that many of the people who first contacted you have been removed from the site. I believe roughly 20 people who contacted me were removed from the site. Once you weed out the bad ones then it's time to talk to the people you have an established on site relationship with. After all what's the rush anyway. Have fun and good luck.

I have used this site to connect with Filipinos (as in guys). There are many scammers who use this site but in amongst the scammers I have found a number of genuine guys. You just have to exercise caution and, as the site advises, don't send money to anyone you have not met in person. Well I would advise don't send money to anyone you haven't communicated with for several months and even then, if you chose to do so, only send small amounts. If they persistently keep asking for more stop communicating. I have paid for a monthly subscription on a few occasions and never had any issues with cancelling the subscription. But it is an automatic renewal subscription so you must physically cancel in via the website. I use this site and I like this site.

I did find the love of my life on this site. But it took a few chats to get to her. I was completely honest and provided a truly accurate and extensive profile of myself... blemishes and all. I waited for responses that seemed sincere and that actually seemed like they read my profile. I chatted with a few who seemed either unsure, scamming, or flakey. But with a little patience I did finally meet my future bride... honest, sweet, and interested in having a real relationship.

So my advice is use the tools given to Broadcast who you really are and what you are looking for... don't embellish. The sincere ones will see you for who you are and will find you.

90% of all 'Asian Dating Sites' are a pure SCAM! And most of them are an EXPENSIVE SCAM! FilipinoCupid.com at least seems to be a trustworthy site and in my opinion it is sure worth a try. As an alternative you may want to use iDate-Asia.com but keep in mind that it is more expensive. Anyway, those were the two only sites where I did not feel being scammed.

Of course u will find scammers and women just needing money as it will not be possible for the site to check ur chatmates in advance, it is up to you to discard and report them immediately or simpy follow the rule "never send money" no matter how convincing the girl might be. I was paying member 3 times and each time I went afterwards to Philippine I could meet girls I chatted in this site but I checked them out seriously including using cam in skype or viber. Nevertheless a rest of risk will remain. The best comprehensive review I read here was written by JDL.
