ChineseLoveLinks, Niche Site for Asian Singles
Summary
Genre: AsianThe Good:
Nice selection of gadgets and options to help meet people, the guest account lets you talk with paid members (as long as you can locate them).The Bad:
Generic website layout and menus all mean that it doesn't exactly feel like it was created specifically with Chinese people in mind.Popular site for Asians (China, Hong Kong and beyond) with a nice easy to use format. Chinese Lovelinks lets you create your own free personal ad, put up photos and videos and even contact other people – the only restriction being you can’t communicate with other people who’re using a free account.
Chinese Lovelinks, Reviewed
If you’re thinking of Chinese dating, one site that’s certainly worth a look is Chinese Lovelinks. I’ve tried several others, like Asia Friend Finder (reviewed here), as well as “Asian People Meet” (review coming soon) however I have to admit that I love the simplicity and ease of use of Chinese Lovelinks, but more importantly I’ve had more success there.
As you can probably guess, it’s intended for Chinese and for anyone who is interested in meeting someone who is Chinese or Asian for that matter (see more sites like this). It’s owned by Cupid Media (a company with a solid reputation in this field). The free basic membership that’s provided will allow you to browse profiles and have a look, while paid membership is necessary if you want the ability to communicate with anyone.
Language translation software is also provided should it be needed. Here are the key components that are available:
- Email and instant chat – you can send/receive email or use live chat when the other person is online.
- Free access – if you’re using a free account, you can communicate with anyone (except other free members)
- Matching – “top of the range” matchmaking tools and search features are there to help you locate your Asian soul mate
- Profile verification – this optional step is available as a scam protection measure
- Moderation – Cupid Media has a strong moderation system, and this is designed to keep the community safe and free from scammers
How big is the community? Though it is a niche dating site, it has all the features you’d expect from a traditional matchmaking service. Like other Cupid Media sites, it has worldwide coverage, and there are over 150,000 men and women who’re active. It’s one of the more rapidly growing websites for people of Chinese origin (see the complete list).
Joining: You can register for free, which will allow you to browse profiles. However, to send emails or chat with other members, you’ll need at least a paid Gold membership. Though as a free member, you will find it’s possible to email Gold or Platinum members and receive replies back from them.
Membership levels: There are three levels of membership, including the free level.
The highest level of membership (platinum) allows you to video chat with your matches and also gives you access to translation service for emails in case you and your match don’t speak the same language.
You’ll also get voice mail with the platinum membership. The searching tool allows you to search by location as well as by the traits you seek in a partner. You’ll also find that there are hobbies and interest groups to make it easier to find a match who shares your interests.
What are people looking for? I found members there looking for casual, no commitment dating as well as those looking for long term relationships – there were also those seeking foreign brides/husbands. The site responsibly offers relationship advice to help you make the most of the experiences you have with the people you meet there.
If you’re Chinese, or would like to meet a potential friend or date who is; this might just be the right dating site for you – use the button below to open your free “no obligation” trial account.
