Review: worst scam dating service to date.
I've used dozens of online dating sites over many years. Most US dating sites I almost never get a reply to my messages. On japancupid.com I get replies to more than half of my messages. Sure, some of them sound flaky and those profiles usually dissapear the next day as I'm sure the website owners detect them and delete them. The biggest problem is that the women are not all Japanese. they are spread pretty equally between Japan, China, and Philippines which makes dating these girls rather challenging and expensive.
The bottom line, this site is as legit as any other major online dating site. The owners are not out to scam you but some of the users are so be careful.
