The site is poorly designed and over priced for what you get, these folks do a great jobs at marketing just as a used car dealer do marketing a lemon. Also the site is very manipulative on auto renewals, so be extremely careful. They present the 1 months option as auto renew, making it look like the 2 or 3 month option don't auto renew when it fact all of them auto renew. Contest it with your Credit Card company, they will throw a fit and challenge you to make sure they bleed you of very dime, even if you don't use the services.
Stay away, these people are as slime as the come.
Pros Targeted Site
Cons They present some of their packages as a one time charge, but then auto renew without your permission, they are a money vacuum!
I think this site is a total scam with a few members and a lot of ghost writers. How many older men do you know who are articulate and can/will write a long flowing profile filled with well written prose and emotional feeling. REALLY?
I once even proposed this theory to one of my suitors and then never even commented on it in the slightest way. After that, I got NO mail what-so-ever even though before that my mail box was always full. Pretty darn fishy to me. They don't even try to cover it up in my opinion. How many people join twice with the same or similar names and the very same photo for both accounts.
Stay away if you want quality.

Pros You feel good for a week.
Cons But it's just a little hot air on a cold day.
I been on this site for less than a few months and I can already say, this isn't for me.
Ran into a few men on the site. As everyone can already tell its a good amount of real decent men and ALOT of cheap scumbags.
I been on a few dates but didn't really have a connection with them and if I did, they were looking for something else such as a quickie in a car or hotel room sessions. But I can honestly say one of the worst experiences I had was with a guy I met who lived in the DC area. Who seemed legit and nice at first so we exchanged a few emails and talked on the phone. Long story short after talking for a month or so we decided to finally meet up and he wanted me to stay at his place for one weekend. After I do he takes me out shows me a good time and later that night we sleep together. On the last day of me staying at his place he wanted to fool around. Me always being safe I asked did he have protection. Later to find out he doesn't. I tell him since I barely know him we can't go unprotected. With me saying that he seemed to be in a bad mood and started moping around the house. Before he was going to take me home he was going to take me shopping like he promised (I never asked him for this he insisted) but because he was in a bad mood he said he wanted to take me home. I felt a certain way but respected his wishes. He later went to the bank to give me the money that we agreed on and took me home. Later that week I get a text from him BEGGING me can we not use protection. Now even with people my own age or someone I'm being serious with I'm ALWAYS safe. No excuses. (And quick side note the money that he gave me once I counted it was short of what we agreed upon) so I mentioned to him, " listen if we don't use protection we have to get std test and such to both be safe" before I could finish he was VERY ecstatic and excited to seeing me even so far as to picking me up after work and getting birth control. I mention to him before he got to carried away that I wanted the amount that we both promised and upfront. With that...a whole different person emerged. He was claiming I was being greedy and selfish and that we shouldn't have to take a std test. Along with saying that he doesn't want to pay me that amount anymore. I respectfully say "ok" and that if this is so we "need to wear protection still until we get more comfortable with each other"........lets just say this. Once I mentioned the condom again...he didn't like it. He later went on to say he wasn't desperate and that I'm selfish and greedy and that he's not interested anymore. All I could do was sit in shock....did I say something wrong?? (I'm being sarcastic -__-) so because I wanted to be safe and this would only be our second time sleeping together, I'm selfish?. I responded with a "dont have time for this and goodbye"It was very backwards to me and I never texted him again.
I apologize for the long review but I just wanted to tell my story. Not all men are as rude like this but there are a good handful. I've finally decided this site isn't for me and that I'd rather work long hours than constantly dealing with bullshit. Not trying to down the site or people but again...isn't for everyone.
Best advice I can give: stand your ground and know your worth. A lot of these men will only treat you a certain way only if you LET them.
When you browse, you are flooded with attention. Take out a membership and no one sees you or responds to any messages. Once they have your $$$ the communication disappears.
Cons There is no return on your investment. And now I suspect the women aren't even there
So after two weeks on the site I did a battery of tests to see where it ranked. How honest are the mods and how honest was the site. What I found was exactly what I had feared. So I chose the top 30 some odd men and cross referenced them all with a reverse image search. Only to find the top 5 guys that are the most active just so happen to have photos linked to other people, celebs and facebook accounts not to them.
So I dug deeper on their screen names they gave me, ran those too. What I found was they were all on other dating sites but again diff locations and names making me wonder what exactly was going on.
A new dating site is not an easy task in fact to get a few thousand ppl is downright hard so you need attractive ppl to interact with as many members as possible to keep them coming on, ref friends and so on.
When I gave the mods as well as the site a list of these users they came up with a handful of sad excuses why they wouldnt remove them. Instead 3hrs later they removed a woman whos profile had no connection to my reporting/findings. In two weeks on being on the site not once did I see them remove a member for having a fake profile Nonetheless in closing is this site fake? No, its real. But I would wager 75% of the very attractive ppl on it are paid employees interacting with you to just keep you here.
I signed to mature dating (same company cupidplc) and was drawn to cheeky lover ads. I got lots of emails form apparently hot young nubiles who seem to fancy an older man,I thought lets see what happens, I tried to respond to a "hot chick", but before I could I needed to subscribe.. so I chose 3 day trial for 5.98 (with a recurring credit card payment of £25.00 if you don,t un-subscribe before trial is up) the hottie was apparently online and had sent me 2 messages saying she liked my pro, but when i replied to her she didn't respond. Then I got it she was the bait and I'd been hooked. No hot young girl needs to buy a £25.00 per month membership to a dating site to find an older man right, and if she did she would reply to someone she contacted. Anyway anyone can put up whatever photo they like doesn't mean its them. So I realized I was a fool and before I got roped into anything costly I decided to unsubscribe, to do this I needed to phone a premium rate phone number (on hold for a couple of mins of course) a foreign lady came to the phone and said sorry I was leaving them and offered me 2 weeks free I said no just cancel so she did, but not easily
Later that day I was checking my bank balance and realised I was about £20 down on what i expected, it later transpired that unbeknown to me whilst signing up to the 3 day trial I had been taken to an upgrade page on the website and had involuntarily chosen a £15.00 upgrade so instead of spending £5.98 for my trial I'd spent £21.00. I was furious so phoned the premium rate number again, it took a couple of calls and a lot of arguing to get them to agree a refund that I.m still waiting for. I ADMIT I WAS GULLIBLE SO PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES NO HOT GIRLS BUY MEMBERSHIPS TO DATING SITES TO FIND A GUY....ONLY OLD BAGS !!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY
Pros none
Cons scam you into a recurring bill and even when you cancel will offer you free membership period hoping you will forget to cancel later and fall into recurring payment trap without realizing. cons it is a con
I've always loved older men. The confidence, the look, the experience. I've always loved it all. In real life it can be tricky to meet older men. They're either married or are with friends/colleagues and feel a certain way about approaching a younger woman because they don't want to be THAT guy. One day I happened to see SA featured on a show and I decided to sign up. I was surprised by how many attractive men the site featured, very smart, personable, interesting characters(but of course mixed in with the lot that can't form a coherent sentence). I was excited and ready for an adventure; wow it's been difficult.
I will say I'm beautiful, smart, personable, funny, driven and BLACK. That seems to the the problem(the black part). About 8/10 profiles I come across either say something like "I only date White, Asian, and maybe Hispanic women" or they just come out and say "I absolutely do not date Black/African-American women". I can't say that I'm shocked but it is disappointing.
It's a strange but not terrible place but I would be cautious, a lot of the men are truly sleazy and some are nice. We are on the internet after all.
I've yet to meet someone because of the being black bit(lol), or distance is an issue, but mostly because I'm selective and I'm not in a rush. I'd much rather take my time and wait for someone that will change my life in a positive way rather than giving me $1,000/month. It is what you make it so my only advise would be for both the men and women to be safe and SMART.
Pros Good selection of men who understand what SA is about
Members can now be verified
Easy navigation
Well made website
Cons Some men equate SA with the woman on the corner
Girls with no values(they cheapen all of us)
A weird anti-black women scene
I am a decent looking guy, I set up an account with Match.com and got 11 winks in an 4 hours - so I'm not hideous at least.
And it's all gone very well, 2 of which are Asian I might add :)
I joined JapanCupid.com about 2 months ago
Anyway - this site is such a scam it's laughable - unfortunately you only truly find that out after paying for the first month subscription.
Well hopefully this will make some of the people who were ripped off through this site feel a little better.
I'm a great internet marketing professional, and specialise in SEO - and I'm going to regularly attack the site - I can't take the site down but I can make people know about how fake it is if someone tries to check its validity first I will kick them where it hurts their cheating wallet!
Pros NONE - ITS A SCAM!!!
Cons IT'S A SCAM SITE - STAY AWAY!!!
I'm an internet professional and it becomes clear when you pay the first months subscription (which it forces you to do quickly) that it's totally managed by bots (or illiterate people) either way it's a complete scam!
Disappointment to say the least, and then you have the loss of money.
What a CON If there are 2 Genuine Contacts on this site that would be the Max I know because I have met one of them. The Odds for winning the Lottery are less than meeting someone on this or any other such site. My advise would be to NOT TO BOTHER AND USE THE MONEY TO BUY EXTRA LOTTERY TICKETS. You will have more luck
This site is full of Moroccan, Tunisian and Indonesian girls primarily. Every now and then there is like an influx of girls from another country ALL AT THE SAME TIME! How is that possible? Maybe the site is targeting marketing in a specific country? Or could it be that they're uploading batches of fake profiles?
I have never met anyone from this site and I've been a member for years.
Most users are fake and or paid persons by the site itself. It offers NO refund for one reason only. ITS A SCAM!
They take your money and from there you are left to chat to random people. The ID check is a scam. They dont check anything and just give you a fancy title. It's a complete joke.
Better luck on other sites that offer real results and a refund!
ive been using this site for about 2 weeks but i think i just give up. met 3 women from the site and had video chat with a few but seriously they dont worth the money. totally average, nothing special, would maybe date with a few
probably it would work way better if you would shell out 10k $+ a month but for that money you can have perfect body hookers whenever you want them.
better girls are in the US so if you are there, maybe worths a try. or in london.
Eager to obtain fast cash, I signed up and met up with a sugar daddy. We met up in a little coffee shop and talked about our interests, occupations, etc. Long story short, he invited me back to his house where he almost immediately began touching me and attempting to kiss me. I don't know about you but I certainly don't want to engage in activities like that on my first encounter with someone (sugar daddy or not.) He asked me flash him, and I did. He tried to go further but I'm pretty sure my discomfort was apparent, and he backed off. Since I didn't completely 'deliver' I asked for half of what I would normally get. Walked out of the man's house with $100. Is it worth it? Maybe. Certainly choose someone who has a lot more money than mine did. Also, choose someone who isn't a sex-crazed psycho.
Pros -Financial benefits
-NSA relations
Cons -Creepy..and I mean really creepy men
-Guys looking for cheap sex
The previous reviewer must work for this site. You actually get taken to 'IHookup'
which is a site used by Craigslist scammers to get you to verify via your Credit Card.
Pros ...use this site to access your Credit card
Cons ...great if you want to donate your bank account!
Back in the days of my Internet innocence, I fell 'in love' with Vanessa Brown on this site.
Gorgeous white nurse living in Africa. (Warning! Warning!)
I even let it progress to the phone call stage.
Imagine my surprise when her voice was like a native extra from a Tarzan movie!
She said she inherited it from her mum.
She swore she didn't need my money so we continued until just before she was going to leave for my country.
Then she said she didn't have enough for the Visa/ticket!
I yelled: "This is a scam!' and hung up.
I was heartbroken but thank the fact that I'm also a cynical tightwad.
The good news...I'm a songwriter and got a song out of it!
Pros ...are cheaper than getting involved with a scammer!
I signed up for this site purely for dating puropses, got a few replies and striked up a good rapport with a couple of ladies. One of them told me that she was approached by the site to work for them. Apparently they wanted her to reply to men whos memberships had expired so that they would then have to resign up again to read her messages.
This is completely unethical and quite worrying. After my membership expired surpriuse surprise i got some very attractie women replying to me who had completely ignored me when my membership was active.
So beware....
Pros Attractive women and some are genuine
Cons The site seems to indulge in unethical practices
I've only been on this website for a month and I've already gone on a few dates, some went well... and others not so much! I do have a potential Sugar daddy already though! You quickly learn not to be shocked about the kinds of things you read. I've gotten some very dirty emails straight up asking for sex, but very crude! I'm not on this site to use anybody, so if I'm not interested I won't reply. I just got an email being called an "arrogant cunt" because I simply didn't write him back! LOL it makes me laugh, some guys on this site are assholes.
But that is real life for ya, I guess! If you can last to weed out the jerk offs, you will probably find a great guy for yourself!
Pros Some guys are very sweet and real!
Cons A lot of guys want sex and don't take rejection well haha
Takes awhile
Please stay away from this site. Never any local people on line and always the same people on the speeddate I was in a conversation with someone from Florida and I live in Oregon she had the same problem nobody local. I rate this site a2 at it's. Best on a scale of 1_100 very lame site couldn't wait for it to be over.best of luck to everyone.
To many of the other reviewers:
Just because you had no success on this site does not mean that it is: a scam, fraud, rip-off, con etc
First let me ask you this: are you actually in Japan?
As the name implies JapanCupid is primarily intended for dating locally within Japan. If you aren't in Japan then you are of zero interest to most of the users on there.
Even if you are in Japan, do you live in or near a big city?
Most people really can't be bothered to travel much more than 30~45 mins for a date. And this applies universally for all dating sites.
Then, did you actually make a half-decent profile?
Even if you did that did you send a reasonable 1st mail?
Oh wait, you only mailed all the obviously hot girls who are under 25?
Well I hope you are a grade A top choice man (and I mean for real, objectively , not wishful thinking) because those girls are so spoilt for choice that anything less than the best is not going to get a response.
As for the comments about not paying for dating site - why not?
I suppose you only go to bars that are free?
And you eat out of the trash too?
Things cost money, that is how life works, the price of a month on a dating site is often less than a night out drinking.
While it is fair to say that there are some very suspicious profiles that are probably fake, that doesn't mean that Japan Cupid created those profiles. In fact they were probably made by pick-up artist loser douche bags trying to steal some 'intel' from other male users.
I've been a paid member a couple of times, and each time I got plenty of responses and more than enough dates (including both hot and young girls - though frankly not most of the time).
I'm over 30, far from stunning, and not particularly good at Japanese. If you can't get any responses, let alone dates from this site, then you need to look seriously at why you are failing - it is most likely your expectations, or very shoddy profile/mails.
That said, the Japanese online dating scene is notoriously unforgiving for anybody who is not either white or at least not Asian, and JC is no exception to this.
Pros - Full of male users who still think it's 1990 and that Japanese women will swoon at their feet for no reason other than they are foreign (so if you are a guy who lives in the now rather than in the past this is great)
-Cupid Media is a general good and time tested system.
- Japan Cupid is popular among Japanese girls and well marketed towards to 20~30 age group in particular. LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ON THIS - you may still have a hard time getting dates with the cute/young girls, but they are on here and they are real!
- You can now delete your photos
- They have never auto-billed me (unlike worldfriends)
- It is not: fake, a scam, a con, a rip-off etc
Cons - Full of male users who still think it's 1990 and that Japanese women will swoon at their feet for no reason other than they are foreign (so if you are a girl you will have to wade through a lot of derps).
- No matter what you write on your profile/ in your mails 90% of the women who respond will just assume that you are a liar and/or a "playboy" . You are going to need to be thick skinned. Japanese women are much less polite on dating sites than they are in real life.
- Granted, the customer service are not that helpful.
- It is pointless if you do not pay for the high grade memberships - but then it's pointless going to bars if you aren't going to shower, shave and put on a clean shirt.
This website promises so much and has soooo many beautiful women that send email, wink, chat, etc...TOO BAD THEY ARE ALL FAKE AND ARE JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO GO TO ANOTHER WEBSITE.
Don't waste your time and money. They have other sites as well, they too are a waste!!!!!! Too bad these fake, shitty websites have survived...too bad there is not a way to put them out of business.
We just want to have fun! Aren't there real women out there that just want to have fun too? Where are they???????????????
Pros NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons The list is too long...but just suffice it to say that ALL the women that are HOT are fake and the others are fat ugly bitches...
sent a Pre-Paid VISA CARD for Monthly Fee $36.00. Only had 39.00 Cash on Visa card for a one Month Upgrade.. Military Cupid TRIED TO OVERCHARGE MY CREDIT CARD PAYMENT for a Higher a 2month Upgrade Commitment. It FAILED. Im GLAD!.
Pros Easy to be a sucker.
Cons Deleted all Refence to MILITARY CUPID.COMSITEfe my Email
account.
Ok. So if I'm to understand this right. Every gorgeous woman on this site is from Bartlesville, OK and live 210 miles away according to the profiles. They all type in broken English and for some reason or another state that they live in the US, but had to go back to Ghana or some other region of Africa. They tell you they love you after only chatting for about 5 minutes. Then, they claim that they have some kind of issue that ALL of them will ask for money. Unbelievable. Are you kidding me?!? I hope no one has fallen for this garbage. I wouldn't recommend this site to my dog. Good luck in finding happiness on that site.
Pros I haven't sent any money to the "girls" that have winked at me.
Also, they are nice looking pictures, but come on. Do they all look like models?!? I think not.
Stay Away

Review about Seeking ArrangementI been on this site for less than a few months and I can already say, this isn't for me.
Ran into a few men on the site. As everyone can already tell its a good amount of real decent men and ALOT of cheap scumbags.
I been on a few dates but didn't really have a connection with them and if I did, they were looking for something else such as a quickie in a car or hotel room sessions.

Review about JapanCupid.comI am a decent looking guy, I set up an account with Match.com and got 11 winks in an 4 hours - so I'm not hideous at least.
And it's all gone very well, 2 of which are Asian I might add :)
I joined JapanCupid.com about 2 months ago
Anyway - this site is such a scam it's laughable - unfortunately you only truly find that out after paying for the first month subscription.
Well hopefully this will make some of the people who were ripped off through this site feel a little better.
I'm a great internet marketing professional, and specialise in SEO - and I'm going to regularly attack the site - I can't take the site down but I can make people know about how fake it is if someone tries to check its validity first I will kick them where it hurts their cheating wallet!
Pros
NONE - ITS A SCAM!!!
Cons
IT'S A SCAM SITE - STAY AWAY!!!
I'm an internet professional and it becomes clear when you pay the first months subscription (which it forces you to do quickly) that it's totally managed by bots (or illiterate people) either way it's a complete scam!
Diapointment
Review about Marital Affair.co.ukDisappointment to say the least, and then you have the loss of money.
What a CON If there are 2 Genuine Contacts on this site that would be the Max I know because I have met one of them. The Odds for winning the Lottery are less than meeting someone on this or any other such site. My advise would be to NOT TO BOTHER AND USE THE MONEY TO BUY EXTRA LOTTERY TICKETS. You will have more luck
Scam Site - Stay Away!
Review about Muslima.comThis site is full of Moroccan, Tunisian and Indonesian girls primarily. Every now and then there is like an influx of girls from another country ALL AT THE SAME TIME! How is that possible? Maybe the site is targeting marketing in a specific country? Or could it be that they're uploading batches of fake profiles?
I have never met anyone from this site and I've been a member for years.
Pros
Some pictures of nice looking girls
Cons
Scam site. Nobody there is real.
SCAM SITE!
Review about Seeking ArrangementThis site is loaded with scammers and fishers.
Most users are fake and or paid persons by the site itself. It offers NO refund for one reason only. ITS A SCAM!
They take your money and from there you are left to chat to random people. The ID check is a scam. They dont check anything and just give you a fancy title. It's a complete joke.
Better luck on other sites that offer real results and a refund!
Pros
a great waste of money for any member.
Cons
too many to list
average and below average women
Review about Seeking Arrangementive been using this site for about 2 weeks but i think i just give up. met 3 women from the site and had video chat with a few but seriously they dont worth the money. totally average, nothing special, would maybe date with a few
probably it would work way better if you would shell out 10k $+ a month but for that money you can have perfect body hookers whenever you want them.
better girls are in the US so if you are there, maybe worths a try. or in london.
Creepers
Review about Seeking ArrangementEager to obtain fast cash, I signed up and met up with a sugar daddy. We met up in a little coffee shop and talked about our interests, occupations, etc. Long story short, he invited me back to his house where he almost immediately began touching me and attempting to kiss me. I don't know about you but I certainly don't want to engage in activities like that on my first encounter with someone (sugar daddy or not.) He asked me flash him, and I did. He tried to go further but I'm pretty sure my discomfort was apparent, and he backed off. Since I didn't completely 'deliver' I asked for half of what I would normally get. Walked out of the man's house with $100. Is it worth it? Maybe. Certainly choose someone who has a lot more money than mine did. Also, choose someone who isn't a sex-crazed psycho.
Pros
-Financial benefits
-NSA relations
Cons
-Creepy..and I mean really creepy men
-Guys looking for cheap sex
SCAMMERS NEST
Review about XHookupsMost of the photos posted are scammers from Nigeria.
Pros
none
Cons
all
Scam site
Review about MeetLocalsThe previous reviewer must work for this site. You actually get taken to 'IHookup'
which is a site used by Craigslist scammers to get you to verify via your Credit Card.
Pros
...use this site to access your Credit card
Cons
...great if you want to donate your bank account!
My 1st time with a scammer!
Review about JumpDatesBack in the days of my Internet innocence, I fell 'in love' with Vanessa Brown on this site.
Gorgeous white nurse living in Africa. (Warning! Warning!)
I even let it progress to the phone call stage.
Imagine my surprise when her voice was like a native extra from a Tarzan movie!
She said she inherited it from her mum.
She swore she didn't need my money so we continued until just before she was going to leave for my country.
Then she said she didn't have enough for the Visa/ticket!
I yelled: "This is a scam!' and hung up.
I was heartbroken but thank the fact that I'm also a cynical tightwad.
The good news...I'm a songwriter and got a song out of it!
Pros
...are cheaper than getting involved with a scammer!
Cons
...should be what all scammers end up as!!
Not as it seems
Review about SugarDaddie.comI signed up for this site purely for dating puropses, got a few replies and striked up a good rapport with a couple of ladies. One of them told me that she was approached by the site to work for them. Apparently they wanted her to reply to men whos memberships had expired so that they would then have to resign up again to read her messages.
This is completely unethical and quite worrying. After my membership expired surpriuse surprise i got some very attractie women replying to me who had completely ignored me when my membership was active.
So beware....
Pros
Attractive women and some are genuine
Cons
The site seems to indulge in unethical practices
well you win some and lose some
Review about Seeking ArrangementI've only been on this website for a month and I've already gone on a few dates, some went well... and others not so much! I do have a potential Sugar daddy already though! You quickly learn not to be shocked about the kinds of things you read. I've gotten some very dirty emails straight up asking for sex, but very crude! I'm not on this site to use anybody, so if I'm not interested I won't reply. I just got an email being called an "arrogant cunt" because I simply didn't write him back! LOL it makes me laugh, some guys on this site are assholes.
But that is real life for ya, I guess! If you can last to weed out the jerk offs, you will probably find a great guy for yourself!
Pros
Some guys are very sweet and real!
Cons
A lot of guys want sex and don't take rejection well haha
Takes awhile
dislike
Review about SpeedDate.comPlease stay away from this site. Never any local people on line and always the same people on the speeddate I was in a conversation with someone from Florida and I live in Oregon she had the same problem nobody local. I rate this site a2 at it's. Best on a scale of 1_100 very lame site couldn't wait for it to be over.best of luck to everyone.
Pros
Nothing good
Cons
Totality disgusted a big waste of money
JC is much better than most of these reviews...
Review about JapanCupid.comTo many of the other reviewers:
Just because you had no success on this site does not mean that it is: a scam, fraud, rip-off, con etc
First let me ask you this: are you actually in Japan?
As the name implies JapanCupid is primarily intended for dating locally within Japan. If you aren't in Japan then you are of zero interest to most of the users on there.
Even if you are in Japan, do you live in or near a big city?
Most people really can't be bothered to travel much more than 30~45 mins for a date. And this applies universally for all dating sites.
Then, did you actually make a half-decent profile?
Even if you did that did you send a reasonable 1st mail?
Oh wait, you only mailed all the obviously hot girls who are under 25?
Well I hope you are a grade A top choice man (and I mean for real, objectively , not wishful thinking) because those girls are so spoilt for choice that anything less than the best is not going to get a response.
As for the comments about not paying for dating site - why not?
I suppose you only go to bars that are free?
And you eat out of the trash too?
Things cost money, that is how life works, the price of a month on a dating site is often less than a night out drinking.
While it is fair to say that there are some very suspicious profiles that are probably fake, that doesn't mean that Japan Cupid created those profiles. In fact they were probably made by pick-up artist loser douche bags trying to steal some 'intel' from other male users.
I've been a paid member a couple of times, and each time I got plenty of responses and more than enough dates (including both hot and young girls - though frankly not most of the time).
I'm over 30, far from stunning, and not particularly good at Japanese. If you can't get any responses, let alone dates from this site, then you need to look seriously at why you are failing - it is most likely your expectations, or very shoddy profile/mails.
That said, the Japanese online dating scene is notoriously unforgiving for anybody who is not either white or at least not Asian, and JC is no exception to this.
Pros
- Full of male users who still think it's 1990 and that Japanese women will swoon at their feet for no reason other than they are foreign (so if you are a guy who lives in the now rather than in the past this is great)
-Cupid Media is a general good and time tested system.
- Japan Cupid is popular among Japanese girls and well marketed towards to 20~30 age group in particular. LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ON THIS - you may still have a hard time getting dates with the cute/young girls, but they are on here and they are real!
- You can now delete your photos
- They have never auto-billed me (unlike worldfriends)
- It is not: fake, a scam, a con, a rip-off etc
Cons
- Full of male users who still think it's 1990 and that Japanese women will swoon at their feet for no reason other than they are foreign (so if you are a girl you will have to wade through a lot of derps).
- No matter what you write on your profile/ in your mails 90% of the women who respond will just assume that you are a liar and/or a "playboy" . You are going to need to be thick skinned. Japanese women are much less polite on dating sites than they are in real life.
- Granted, the customer service are not that helpful.
- It is pointless if you do not pay for the high grade memberships - but then it's pointless going to bars if you aren't going to shower, shave and put on a clean shirt.
- Life isn't fair
- Nobody loves me
Total Waste of Time and Energy
Review about BeNaughtyThis website promises so much and has soooo many beautiful women that send email, wink, chat, etc...TOO BAD THEY ARE ALL FAKE AND ARE JUST TRYING TO GET YOU TO GO TO ANOTHER WEBSITE.
Don't waste your time and money. They have other sites as well, they too are a waste!!!!!! Too bad these fake, shitty websites have survived...too bad there is not a way to put them out of business.
We just want to have fun! Aren't there real women out there that just want to have fun too? Where are they???????????????
Pros
NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
The list is too long...but just suffice it to say that ALL the women that are HOT are fake and the others are fat ugly bitches...
Upgrade Profile Payment-FRAUD SCHEME
Review about Military Cupidsent a Pre-Paid VISA CARD for Monthly Fee $36.00. Only had 39.00 Cash on Visa card for a one Month Upgrade.. Military Cupid TRIED TO OVERCHARGE MY CREDIT CARD PAYMENT for a Higher a 2month Upgrade Commitment. It FAILED. Im GLAD!.
Pros
Easy to be a sucker.
Cons
Deleted all Refence to MILITARY CUPID.COMSITEfe my Email
account.
I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone
Review about SkoutOk. So if I'm to understand this right. Every gorgeous woman on this site is from Bartlesville, OK and live 210 miles away according to the profiles. They all type in broken English and for some reason or another state that they live in the US, but had to go back to Ghana or some other region of Africa. They tell you they love you after only chatting for about 5 minutes. Then, they claim that they have some kind of issue that ALL of them will ask for money. Unbelievable. Are you kidding me?!? I hope no one has fallen for this garbage. I wouldn't recommend this site to my dog. Good luck in finding happiness on that site.
Pros
I haven't sent any money to the "girls" that have winked at me.
Also, they are nice looking pictures, but come on. Do they all look like models?!? I think not.
Cons
Too many fakes.
