Fake profiles. Scammers. No customer service. The company are scammers and allow scammers. I reported 10 scammers. None were removed. Even though they claim cutting edge security.
I live in thailand now and you need a stick to beat the girls off. It doesn't matter how old or ugly or what nationality you are. There are so many beautiful Thai girls who want you to be their boyfriend, you will kick yourself for wasting money on any dating site. As soon as you get off the plane here, the dream is real and just gets better and better. Forget western women, they dont even rate a second thought anymore. Forget dating sites for Thai girls, there is someone for everyone here. This is paradise for men on earth, just get your $#*! on a plane and come see for yourself. Dating sites... phhttt. For what!
Was a non-paying member for months. I would just visit the site to see if anything interesting and worth paying a membership for. One day I received 2 emails out of the blue from women that were within reasonable distance (not in another country). They were both attractive so I decided wtf. Sure enough within a few hours of replying back to these women BOTH profiles were no longer online.
These are called "SHILL" profiles. Almost like bait and switch but in this case of shills there is only bait. Sometimes auction sites will use shill bidders to run up the bidding price.
Stay away from this fake site. Even if you're a non-paying member this site already has the odds in their favor that sooner or later you will dump your hard earned money into a membership. Or they will use shill profiles to entice you. Don't do it. There are plenty of free dating sites to find local women.
I joined Thaicupid.com 4 years ago. I have always just had the free membership. I was constantly plagued with the problem of logging in. It would say that I am entering the incorrect password, so I would have to request a new password all the time. Now during the Covid-19 Pandemic I wanted to upgrade to the paid $140 1 year membership, since I won't be able to visit Thailand for an entire year. I normally visit Thailand 2 times a year. I went to go log in on Saturday morning. It said I entered the wrong password. I hit the request new password button, so it would send a new password to my e-mail. On Sunday morning I had received no e-mail. I then went and e-mailed the customer support on the website about the issue. They promptly e-mailed me back and said that the problem is that I need to hit the reset password button for a new one to be e-mailed to me(I had already done that.) They also said that it could be that I have Okcupid on my block list in my e-mail. I checked my block list on my e-mail account and they were not in my block list. I immediately e-mailed them back that I checked. It is now Sunday night and I have still not gotten a response. This is way to stressful trying to deal with this company as a non-paid member. I will just keep my $140 and use one of the other Thai dating websites.
Dear Casey,
We apologize for the difficulties you experienced while using our app. If you would like some assistance or additional information, please contact us via https://www.thaicupid.com/en/help/helpdesk and we will be happy to help you further.
My account was suspended because they wanted to verify my identity for credit card purchase. They asked me to upload my passport copy I declined for security reason. It was just a waste of time for me.
Dear Ksura,
In order to prevent fraudulent payments on our websites, our billing department reviews certain transactions. For some transactions, we require additional verification to prove that the person making the transaction is authorized to do so. Please contact www.muslima.com/en/help/helpdesk if you have any further concerns.
Is it ethical and acceptable to use a web based dating site for the specific purpose of finding a life companion. I believe so. Is it ethical and acceptable to use such people to make money from. Yes if you provide as service that fulfills that requirement. When it fails is when people focused on the service offered are missled and greed prevails. I have attempted to close my account with thaicupid for 8 months to no avail. They still find it necessary to take payments every couple of months stating that I may go to some part of their website and untick something that I never ticked. I feel that it is deception and dishonesty in every sense of the word. I think that this level of deception needs to be tested in a court of law.
With 24 hours, received 171 messages from women of all ages, including women outside the filters I had set. The first three messages I replied to -- the best looking first, of course -- all pushed to exchange email addresses. Immediately upon receiving their emails, they wanted to move over to a different dating app (with another fee, of course). I guess some folks (not necessarily women) make money from those third party sites by luring men over. Fourth woman I interacted with turned out to be fake, too. But only after telling me the camera and microphone on her phone was broken (which is why we couldn't interact in real time) and then asking for a "loan" because her employer was late paying her.
I had a problem with multiple charges for my membership. The company did not reply to my request.
I suspect there are some bots that solicit casual visitors to buy paid memberships.
I met The Perfect Partner within a few days of registering. So I stand grateful to Cupid Media.
Dear Odds,
Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience.
As good a dating site as the next one; some genuine, some scammers. Like anything use common sense, caution and keep your head out of the clouds. Fellas, whether your looking for love, affection or companionship in the east or west, let's face it, as a man, and without sounding jaded, you're a resource for the fairer sex regardless, be it financial, emotional or whatever else you get objectified for, we're all fair game :) At least you know where you stand up front with the many beautiful Thai ladies. Be happy and enjoy life. Thumbs up to the land of smiles.
I've been a paid member, on and off, for 8 years. For 3 of those years, I lived in Thailand. I've met about 30 Thai women through this website. Some great women, genuine, who wanted a committed relationship. Online, and in person, I met a few who immediately asked for money. I took screen shots of online conversations, and reported them. THAICUPID responded quickly, and usually informed me that the members had been blocked.
Hi Geoffrey,
Thank you for the positive feedback!
I find Thai women very attractive, but those are mostly not what i see on this site. Also, a very large percentage of the women here know no English. I love languages, but Thai is very difficult for speakers of Indo-European languages like English.
If you see a picture of a Thai girl with large breasts, assume it is a fake aimed at presumed Western male tastes. If you want women with large breasts, don't waste your time on Thai, or most any Asian website.
Once you sign up for the site your only option is to hide your profile if you wish to quit the site. Unable to delete my profile unless that option is hidden in some remote obscure nook. Sent an email to customer service inquiring about deletion and was promptly ignored.
Just like all date sites you have your share of legitimate users and fake ones trying to scam you out of something.
Dear F A,
It is possible to permanently delete your profile. If you wish to permanently remove your profile, please send us an email to team@thaicupid.com and advise us the reason and we will do it for you.
Please also note that if you have a paid membership, you may lose the unused membership time if you choose to terminate your profile.
The site itself has warnings so not sure it's their fault but beware of scammers. Red flags are getting you to migrate off the site(eg to Hangouts), early declarations of love, and more. When these occur be careful there's a train coming and it will run you over. The pressure to "help"is bound to happen just before some liason, try & stay detached emotionally
There aren't that many scam profiles here on this site. By scam profiles I mean sexy photoshopped "ladies" wearing the bare minimal and one photo with a serial number after their names, their were words written on the profiles descriptions, albeit how few words their were, and I didn't get a "hey sexy your look good~~~want to send me your contacts so we can..." you get the idea right? So again, if your going to buy subscriptions for this site, get the three months platinum or gold subscriptions plan max. Cause your not going to stay and look for dates for an entire year if you get one in less than a month right? Right...(no cheating right~~~ :))
After searching the site I found 3 or 4 women to talk to. Most that wanted to talk to me were really to young for me. After about a week I started to talk to just 1 woman. We began to use facebook messenger to video call in the morning and evening every day for about 3 months. We are both retired so had the time. I went to Thailand to see if we really get along face to face like we did online. After 2 trips to Thailand and about 2 months of staying together all was good for me. Then about 3 months after I came back to America we got married. She came here to meet my family and then we will return to Thailand to live. It is not a big city but about the poorest place in Thailand. Nong Bus Lamphu is a great place to retired and does not cost a lot to live there. We have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms, 2 story but I would prefer a single story house myself. She is well educated and so is her family. She has no kids and how perfect is that. We also got married online and that cost about $600 (yes it is legal).
The site was good for me. Advice I would give is know what you are looking for. Video call as soon as you can. Do not part with cash until you have met face to face and see with your own eyes what you are getting into.
I have been trying to find Thai women online and I have rotated the membership between ThaiGirls4u, ThaiCpid and a few "mail order" sites. I think ThaiGirls4u is pretty much the best I have used but this site also seems pretty legit. I was not lucky on Asian "Mail Order" Sites and they all seem to be a rip off.
So my advise: Use ThaiCupid or ThaiGirls4u or both sites and be patient! It is all about patience. It is pretty clear that you don't meet your "Thai Dream Lady" within 14 days.
Just my two cents to comment on all the negative reviews on here. ThaiCupid is NO scam!
I stayed on this site few weeks and carefully picked 3 woman aged 37, 39, 44 {i am 50}
I started communicating with these ladys i Skype and LINE. 2 wimin had Master degrees, 1 high school. My experience
After know ing these ladies for 5 months:
1 lady was clearly after money so i stopped
With her after 2 months. 2 ladies were real thing. I had to choose on of them and i have visited her 2 times In north of Thailand. She is warm attractive funny
And caring woman. Never talks about money. My salary is 10 times bigger than hers so i give her some money, that is part of the relationship from my point of view.
One more thing: When selecting girl friend from Thai cupic, make sure that girl do not
Live or stay In areas which are known of turist traps such as Pattaya, Phuket...
Look also very carefully the profile of the woman. If she speak good english with low education be careful. Also make sure that lady has a Job to earn her own money.
Not perfect but only reliable site together with Thaigirls4u. At least here in Sweden, not sure how they work in other countries. Use your common sense to avoid scammers and you will be fine.
I have to concur with most comments here. The women that do reply (Far and few between) come on, give you their contact info and disappear. Always the same story. They have long hours. Then why register for a dating site if you are never going to come on? I think many of the profiles are fake as well. Not wanting to brag, I am a very handsome man. 85% of my likes were coming from fat, old and ugly women (sorry ladies) even though my profile indicates what age group I am looking for. Also, 90% do not even read my profile and speak little or no english and use a translator. To make matter worse, after I deactivate my account and sent thaicupid an email to completely delete my file, they reply telling me to adjust my "seeking". Not even what I asked for. THAI CUPID SUPPORT SUCKS. THEY DONT EVEN READ THE EMAILS PROPERLY. They just want to scam you for more money and try to keep your account activated. Over 100 likes, and only 3 women actually started to communicate with me... those are NOT good odds. Stay away from this site, and DO NOT EXPECT HELP FROM THEIR SUPPORT BECAUSE IT IS NON EXISTING.
Yes, a few scammers on here but I do not think it is the website creating the fake accounts.
More likely real if they will talk on Line.

Answer: Yes, all dating site automatically renew, which is not good and no where they tell you that. As soon as you pay the bill for one month or 3 months go back to billing in your profile and trun off auto billing pay. Because even if you do not use the site after a month or whever you paid you will be charged.
