Colombian Cupid September 2019: Spicy or Dicey Dates?

Last updated: August 2019

Our Review

Powered by Cupid Media, the leading online dating company that operates 34 other niche dating sites, Colombian Cupid is one of the company's frontrunners for Latino dating. However, you don't have to be Hispanic to sign up. It is open to everyone of all races from all walks of life. It's just that you'd find the majority of the members to either be Colombian, have deep ties to the country and its rich culture or resides there. In this review, we take a closer look at this dating platform to see if this one of a kind dating site is well worth the time and price. If you are someone looking to score a Colombian hottie or interested in trying this site out, read on below to find out what we think about Colombian Cupid.

ColombianCupid.com is dominated by men, making up 87% of the population. The site only has 110,000 members worldwide. It is quite low in comparison to other mainstream dating sites. But one must remember that Colombian Cupid is in a league of its own since it is a niche dating site that targets a specific culture and group of people. The frequent visitors of this site are from Colombia, United States, Chile, Turkey, and Germany. On average, the site garners 5,000 daily logins. Most of it are expatriates and Colombian locals.

To look for potential matches, the site offers two ways of contacting: free search and matching. Free search is somewhat a variation of matching but in this case, you get to refine the matching process by placing filters according to what you like and what you are looking for. Although there is not much to do on a free account except for sending interests and basic search, you are still able to use the star feature of the site which is the instant messenger. In instant messenger, you get to see who's online in real time and have a faster conversation with other members. But the one snag would be the inability of those on Standard membership to contact other people in free accounts. No, only a Gold or a Platinum member can chat with everyone on the site. Otherwise, one of you has to have a paid membership to be able to sport a convo. Despite that, the membership prices are moderately priced. So if you think this is a worthy investment and that your wallet can most certainly afford it, maximise the use of this site by paying to upgrade your membership.

Profile Quality

Having a good primary photo can increase your chances of landing good dates
You'll receive notifications whenever someone favourites you or has viewed your profile
Verifying your profile increases your authenticity
Completing the profile information can be quite tedious

Once your account is made, it is now time to set up your profile. Having a good and fleshed out profile can make girls and boys interested in you. It makes you less scammy and more like the real deal. Colombian Cupid has this feature where you can verify your account. We cannot stress enough how important it is for the online dating community to see a profile that appears and screams "I am a serious dater." After all, paying a subscription fee is like some sort of a commitment. People most definitely want to know that they did not part ways with their money only to be taken in by shady people and bots.

And this site makes it easy to spot a fake profile from a mile away by providing a gazillion questions about your interests, hobbies, physical appearance, income and so much more. Filling all these out can be tedious but once you've completed your profile, you are assured to stand out from the rest of the pack. However, since completing a profile can be tiresome, most people do not completely fill theirs out. So you might want to take that into consideration.

App

Convenient for on the go members
Easy to use
Available on App Store and Google Play
Free on mobile app stores
Outdated design

The mobile app allows users to be on the go while still keeping tabs on their notification. We can't bring our laptops along with us all the time. The best way to remain on top of the dating sites competition is to have a kickass app with an equally kickass layout. The Colombian Cupid mobile app's design follows the trademark layout of a Cupid site with its simple interface. It can be said that it looks a bit outdated but the convenience it provides to its users more than makes up for it. Picture being an expatriate landing in Colombia and looking for a good time. Rather than stay in your hotel and browsing through various profiles under the cold, blue light of the computer, you get to be outside, enjoying the warm sun and swiping through multiple prospects. And you can easily arrange a meet up using the Instant Messenger which you can also access in the mobile app.

Real Life Review

"I met Rosa on this site almost two years ago. She has been my girlfriend for over a year now. My house smells of empanadas and tamale for over six months now. And I reckon I'd be popping the ring soon within the next year! I owe this site so much. Thank you so much, Colombian Cupid!" - Entrepreneur, 42

Design and Usability

The overall design is simplistic and not that innovative. Compared to other dating sites, Colombian Cupid does not bring anything new to the table. But despite all that, having basically almost the same design with other Cupid sites makes Colombian Cupid immediately familiar to online dating enthusiasts. Might bring a sense of nostalgia, even. It is because the features and buttons are all neatly arranged so that it wouldn't be hard for new users to learn the comings and goings of this website. Set against a maroon backdrop and gorgeous Latina girls, this website will not be mistaken for anything else other than a Hispanic dating site.
