AsianDate Review January 2021

Signing up in AsianDate is a quick process. You are allowed to sign up using your Google account or input your data such as name, email, nominated password, sex, and sexual orientation.

Although there is a choice indicating “Women seeking men,” only men that are seeking women can register as members successfully. After signing up, you are not redirected to your profile. Instead, you are brought to your dashboard where you will find several profiles of Asian women with ‘Start Live Chat’ and ‘Start Cam Share’ call-to-action buttons.

Contacting and messaging in AsianDate is free for the first exchanges. After the first message exchange, you are required to pay credits to keep chatting. AsianDate blocks the chat window and prompts you to buy credits. Another way to speak with the women from the dating site is through letter exchanges.

As a free member, you can receive letters sent by the ladies. AsianDate indicates if reading the letter is free or not. The letter usually contains 2-3 short paragraphs of the woman introducing herself and what she likes to do—which would make you think that it’s too detailed. Some letters say that they need a man to love, and if you are the person, they’ve been looking for. These messages are highly likely to be fake. Replying to the letters is not free; it costs ten credits.

Another way to contact women is by reserving a slot for an actual phone call. A three-way call with an interpreter costs 100 credits for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Male profiles in AsianDate show few fields of information about the members’ appearance, character, and interests. There are paragraph fields that the members can write something about themselves to make them more appealing. Also included in user profiles is a description of the type they are looking for.

As for the women’s profiles, they feature a substantial amount of information. And their photo galleries are often full. Most women even have videos published, which men need to pay credits to view.

After signing up, most dating apps encourage their members to complete their profiles. That’s not the case with AsianDate. The site does not persuade you to complete your profile. It seems that adding a profile picture and information is insignificant to get ladies to contact you. Even with an empty profile, your inbox would still get bombarded by messages from women. This proves that almost if not all, women profiles in AsianDate are fake, and bots send messages.

Instead of membership, AsianDate sells prepaid credits to its members to access its paid features. To encourage users to subscribe, they offer a huge discount for every member’s first order. Instead of paying USD15.99 for 20 credits, members can buy it for USD2.99. Credits let users live chat and video chat with women listed on the dating site. This costs at least 10 credits or USD8.00. A 10-minute minimum phone call with a woman and an interpreter costs 100 credits or almost USD80.00.

It could also buy virtual gifts, which amounts to 15 credits (about USD10), and actual flowers and gifts that get delivered on the woman’s doorstep, which ranges from 12 credits (USD9) for a single flower to a whopping 869 credits (around USD350) for jewellery. Order delivery period is 3-5 days, and the sender will get notified along with a picture of the woman receiving the gift at the time of the delivery.

Members have the option to automatically replenish their credit as soon as there’s nothing left. Refunds are subject to approval, and AsianDate only gives back no more than 10 credits. Due to fraud detection and safety, members are not allowed to make anonymous payments.
