You will get tons of messages from all over the world. The women happen to be beautiful. When you connect with them on WhatsApp oranother form of communication. Ask them to video chat or talk on the phone. The excuses start flowing. Camera isn't working they need money for-the Internet. They never wanna talk live or video chat big red flag. Always ask for them to send a selfie with either your name or some sort of pose to verify their identity. And they come up with thousands of excuses. Horrible website do not apply. You've been warn

They have always had a lot of fakes, but now the number of fakes is simply astonishing. You can write hundreds of messages and get one or two one-line-nonsense kind of replies. I've had enough of it and searched further. Eventually I met my love on J7Love.com
As it turned out, finding a proper platform was a key: an authentic, legit and reputable platform. I had my first date through them during the first month of using this service. Big shout out: don't be suckered in by InternationalCupid! They have taken to misleading their customers! There is a serious degradation in the quality of people. All they do is make up fake profiles to attract more unsuspecting users.

I've been using this site on and off since the mid-2000s (yes, TWENTY YEARS!), back from the days it was called MyForeignBride. During this time I communicated with numerous women, of whom I met four in real life, and three of whom became girlfriends while the fourth has been a friend for five years and counting. The site has recently gone downhill, however, and hard.

In the early days the place was replete with Filipinas, who were not my target demographic, but they have since thinned out considerably. Their place has been taken by Africans, especially Kenyans and Ugandans, who I also have no interest in. There is also a surge in supposedly Chinese women, though most likely bots, supposedly living all over the world, who demand your WhatsApp number in the very first (copy-and-pasted) spam message. Then there are the supposed "Ukrainians," also likely bots, who try to harvest members' email addresses.

The biggest problem is that people (women, and probably men) do not read profiles. They just go off of...pictures, I guess(?)..., and spam hundreds of guys with likes and with vapid "hi" and "hello handsome" messages. There is NO meaningful filter or other facility you can use to just be left alone by such members as well as those who otherwise fail to meet your basic requirements. Even with the messages filter the site has, the counter still includes messages sent by members you specifically excluded.

Basically, you are going to spend HOURS sifting through and deleting unwanted likes and messages from women form the third world, those who are outside your age range, those without a photo, etc.

The reason for my low rating of this site, therefore, is lack of a robust filter that serves to block unwanted connections with members you have zero interest in. Another reason is that the site allows people to create basically empty profiles, i.e. Profiles get approved and published despite having ZERO information about a person beyond his/her age and location.

This is the last time I paid for membership of this site or any of its very, very many sister sites.

Profile was deleted for being suspicious
August 24, 2024

Signed up to try and meet a nice guy. Gave thoughtful answers to the question prompts and found a couple of guys who sounded promising to add to favourites. Then about an hour after sign up and a lot of time my profile was deleted for being suspicious. When I questioned it I was asked to not only provide a government issued ID but one of me holding it?! As if I'm giving that with my full name, address and date of birth and photo over email! My safety is a priority what a shame as I wanted to meet someone in the US and thought it was promising.

Headache dating site
August 17, 2023

I signed up with this site for a while.
Bunch of women out there seeking support and money help. A lot of women will text you trying to chat with you at the same time they chat with other members. And most of the time they are online available almost 24 hours I was wondering looks like they don't go to sleep. It's hard to get a woman seeking true intentions. I paid the money for the subscription but I do feel not satisfied.
The owner of this site Internationalcupid.com doing a good business $$$
Making the site successful for a lot of woman asking for money help.
Because we are members from western countries.
We can't even count the stupid messages coming from these asking about money. Because a bunch of messages everyday inbox.
That's why I'm saying headache site.
Some other women I met they just using the site for extra time not for serious intention
No make sense I did block a lot of members

I received messages from NO ONE but fake profiles mainly from Africa and Asia - bots, disregarding all the preferences you set on your profile. Apparently no real person is on this page.
How they haven't been sued for fraud is beyond me.

Africans galore
April 1, 2023

Every Gambian man is on this site, falling in love with you in two seconds flat, love bombing you, confessing their undying love for you even though they don't even know your name. It's hysterical! They see the USA or Europe and think money. I can't believe people actually pay for this site.

You expose yourself to rip off and harassment if you engage with this con site. When you discover that all profiles are fake and want to unsubscribe they won't let you do it. I found a legit site
MyUkrLady
And it has been really helpful. They have genuine women and their women are very beautiful and sweet in communication.
Don't engage with InternationalCupid and don't let them bait you into buying a membership, it's anything but a dating site! It's not suitable for those looking for serious relationship. Even if you want a girl for a night or for vacation InternationalCupid is useless money vacuum.

99.9 % people on this website are fake.
All the "females" from Philippines, Ukraine and Russia are scammers.
They are posting pictures taken from internet and asking for money.
Cupid support mostly from Philippines are insane.
Stay away.

Scam Site
May 19, 2023

Not only are the people on the site a scam, but also the people who run the site are also running the biggest scam. They pump in fake profiles and fake messages to get you to upgrade your account, and then you return messages only to find they are all fake accounts.

Your profile has been terminated permanently and cannot be reactivated'. I had 2 days prior updated my profile with 'Indo-Aryan' written in my profile. This austrailian company are extreme racist bigots as this is the same experience i have had in previous years whenever i had used there dating sites and wrote 'Indo-Aryan' in my profile, they will terminate my account.

Waste of time and money
January 13, 2023

This site is an absolute WASTE of time and your hard earned money. I'd venture to say about 95% of the profiles on here are scammers. To be fair, even if InternationalCupid actually tried to get rid of scammers, it'd be an impossible task (You'd need an ARMY of moderators) and there'd be next to no members on the site. If you try to message any of these people on here they will immediately ask you to take the chat to google, Skype, WhatsApp, so they can ask you for money.

1. Lots of fake pics.
2. Lots of scam attempts trying to take you out to chat outside of internationalcupid.
3. IMRA form pops up blocking messages. Claim to preprocess for a visa to USA and I don't reside in the USA.
4. Some real wackos out there - blocked was a feature I used most.

Only people with bad intentions here

Within 5 minutes they ask you to contact them with google chat, skype or whatsapp. Only people with another agenda would do this... The website is full of those profiles!

Great site.
April 19, 2020

If you are a decent looking American with an education, you will get hundreds of emails from beautiful women on this site. Do not send money online to anyone and you will be fine. Go for premium, it's not much more expensive. I did have someone from Ghana impersonate a New Zealander; its the internet, expect it. Ask to video chat quickly, most women here have WhatsApp or Skype.

Full of scrammers
April 21, 2021

The moment you join, you get 1000's of messages. They are all the same and scripted. They either start or shortly after ask for your email and/or whatsapp number.

They need to find away to combat the scammers. If you use this site, I suggest you don't even respond to random people who message you first.

Beware of this site.
January 4, 2022

I purchased a gold membership to the site for 3 months. From day one I was experiencing glitches, bad matches and very poor search functions. I complained to their help department and they blew me off. I asked for my money back and they said I have used their site and there was no refunds. I told them I would seek a refund from Visa and then they threatened me. Very poor business practices. I will never use them again.

Seems to be a scam
September 11, 2020

Signed up looking for women from Ukraine or Russia. Was bombarded with women from Asia. Weird thing was this. For some reason I got a 1 hour free premium membership. Then all of a sudden 3 good looking Ukrainian members messaged me. It seems the site was pressuring me to give them my credit card information. Not to mention they expect you to verify yourself with a passport or driver's license. Who knows what would happen if you did that..
