Whoever came up with the concept of online dating deserves the highest of medals! I think it is an especially important tool for shy guys like me who wouldn’t normally approach a woman they like directly the first time around. Anyway, back to the site, I signed up and went on to chat with a few women. On one night that I wasn’t really paying attention to the chats, I received an invite from what I thought was the most beautiful woman by far, we chatted and clicked in an instant! She was due to the US on vacation and so we met and now we are planning our wedding for next year!

Beautiful doesn’t even begin to describe it. I am literally lost in a sea of some really beautiful women, and the ones I have had a chance to chat with are very promising indeed. I am still trying to figure out which to stick to on a “committed chat” so to speak. Other than that, I would definitely recommend idateasia.com because it is everything I had hoped for and more! It was pretty easy to sign up and I love some of the features on there, most especially my chat sessions.

I have been on and off idateasia.com for a while now. I tend to meet some interesting people, we seem to connect for a while then we tend to disconnect. Then I have come across fake profiles from what I can only assume are scammers. Ultimately, I am glad I kept coming back because I finally met the love of my life! Yes, I am proudly saying "THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!" I waited for the disconnect, which never happened and we have been drawing closer by the day, even shifted to calling each other by phone. I can't wait for the day we will finally meet face to face!

I am sorry. I would like to express my sincere apologies for my previous concern. I started my communication with Candy here. At first, everything goes smoothly. One day I review some negative feedback about iDateAsia. Then I began to doubt Candy. She was really hurt and sad. And we almost broke up. Fortunately, things got through in the end. And finally I met her in person. She is indeed the one that i am looking for.

Hi, I have concerns regarding the date site because it seems that a lot of fees are charged which do not seem to be displayed up front. I have been told it costs many credits to actually meet with someone and have been told that they charge $2000. 00 to marry someone. All costs should be given up front for everyone to know before they use the service.
I hope I can get answers for my concerns, can anyone give me the correct answers.

This is my fifth month on idateasia and I am going steady in what I hope is a serious relationship to be. I met this rather beautiful woman, we began chatting and so far it has been a good steady flow of conversation. I am discovering some lovely things about her that I look for in a woman and from what she says, she finds me attractive and fitting in some of the ideals she wishes in a man. If all goes well, I plan on making a visit to her by the year’s end and see how it goes from there

Save your money and stay away from this Website. The Agencies are writing to you and forwarding just what they want to. Also their description of their own service with a Live Chat is: You receive exactly what they are writing to you and they are receiving what you are writing to them. I ve sent my email address a couple of Ladies but they receive just Stars? I didn't sent stars at all. So I knew that the Agencies are translating and cutting even the live message in your (private) chat. This website is just created to earn money as much as they can. They laughing about us. They don't take care if there are people who really would like to date a girl. They don't take care about heart, feelings or love. All it counts for them is your money. If they would take care about feelings and if they would really help the girls to find their love than they would go and give them our email address to be able to chat for free. Stay away from them its fraud. Use a free dating site where you can chat free Filipina-heart.com

I just love idateasia.com and can see a huge potential in finding the love of my life. I have come across some pretty cool women but I have also come across a scammer or two. Luckily I have a pretty good system in rooting them out! I would definitely recommend this site for anyone looking for a serious relationship but has no time to do so the more conventional way. In addition, it seems to me, there is a constant update to the database, because I seem to find new faces every time I log on. It makes finding my love a little difficult but it also offers me a huge potential with vast choices so I make the very best choice in the end.

Thank you for all the honest ratings that I looked at and prevented me from wasting hard earned wages on this this money making machine for some multinational corporation. I would highly recommend Match or OKcupid.com (free) for these reasons. You only pay a flat monthly rate and have unlimited communicate and search for all the Asian women all over the world. When I read the terms for this site I smelled fraudulent right off the bat. I can see why a guy could unwantingly go through hundreds in a month or two here.
Rule #1 if you can not communicate with them visually live via Skype etc. they are probably really a guy in Africa somewhere.
I had the best experience of my life with a woman from Singapore I met on Match who spoke fluent English and Chinese and we spent 5 fun days in Beijing together. Like all online women she was heavier in weight than pictures and a nagger like all American women or I may have married her. Instead of spending 5 more days with her in Singapore I made a side trip to Vietnam to meet another I had known from Match who was young and hotter than a $2 pistol. Not marrying material either but the trip was well worth it and she was the real woman who I had chatted with and not a phony stand in like I read about here.
The moral of the story is research your sites and you will not get ripped off like here. You still have to be careful for scammers on every website so always follow rule #1 before doing anything else no matter what site you are on.

Ask lady to send you current photo of herself holding up a piece of paper including your name due to hearing bad reviews about site, this is only way to prove one you are writing to is same as photo listed by site, guarantee this will not happen, you will get one excuse after another, why should you have to additionally buy lady's contact information after you have already spent a bundle at 7 USD per letter sent, and again letter received, this is a scam, you are still at that point writing to a site agency representative, who may even be a man, you are not writing to the person in the photo on the site that captured your heart, I learned the hard and expensive way, trying to save you the trouble, there are many sites that for one cost can write to as many as you want, and you will find reality..., they do not all want you as the supposed women on this site do!, you can easily set up SKYPE communication with those who are looking for something real, only by aforementioned photo request or SKYPE can you ever know who you are really writing

To you guys who think you may meet your future partner on Qpid sites like I Date Asia or China Love... think twice or even four times.
Believe me it is less expensive to take a holiday to Asia somewhere, have a good time and you will definitely find a lady of the quality you want.
If you even think you are talking to the lady of your dreams on an Asian introduction site you will need a full wallet.
If you have already spent $70 or more you are being sucked in.
You will even receive unsolicited EMF letters just to say "Have a nice day, I miss you, I love you"... that just milked you of another $7 or $8 and you have not even met her.
Hellooooooo. Has the penny dropped yet?
For all you know the picture is not real, you may be communicating with a male or a ladyboy or someones grandmother.
My experience was an arrangement through Chinalove to meet a "lady" in Schenzhen but as expected she did not show.
Because of my scepticism I had prearranged an itinerary of travel in case of this so I was therefore rewarded seeing some of the beautiful sites of China.
If you think Thai or Vietnamese respondents are any different you will find exactly the same replies with hardly a change in format.
My advice is, if you like Asian ladies (and they do put many western women to shame) go there yourself and meet someone and always have a backup plan.

Totally a scum. I got bored and googled my real name today, june 2014 to the shock of finding my name accompanied with the site. Well, the story happened 2 years ago. Fresh graduate and went to Cebu to look for a job. My pastor like girl friend was contacted by a Filipina girl for an interview as an encoder in a Photo Studio. I also joined as they said they are looking for a lot of encoder. We end up going in a house. Chinese girl said they are still new. Then they explained to us what the work is all about, to reply to the men as the girls are busy. I said ok, and thought " so this is how dating sites work". We are there to help the girls and guys. But before that, we should know the nature of the work and we must also have our own account. They gave us a paper to fill out. We fill out. But our minds were already wondering. I was a playful person, so when they asked us for a pictorial i was game, sexy dress, they even asked me to wear 2 piece. I tried the 2 piece but just until the dressing room. In there, we even made a joke. Yes I posed, but not with the 2 piece, video yes, but just until the dressing room. I even just laugh about it. Friend and I decided not to work there. Days later, they called me to be an escort, I wonder but nevermind. They kept calling me, til my mom call them back to stop bothering me. Now, 2 years later, I found out I have an account that I never did. Bull$#*! of them. According to news, they were raided this January, I even recognize the Chinese girl, the wife of the said owner and the secretary filipina who were there calling for what she said, call center agent. But why is it that my fake account was just refreshed this May. I was even out of country at that month. I asked my boyfriend to check and yes there I was in a fake account w/a great photoshop, and to look for video, there is a payment. Never trust this site. Atleast, pics are secured and not searchable, but I'm being sold and haven been taking avantage now.

I actually met someone in Cebu that was on the site. I got a first letter from her and started writing back and forth. Then she asked for chats and we chatted often. The letters were $6 each way and chats were $6 for 10 minutes. I spent hundreds. She told me she loved me through the letters. In a chat I told her I was coming and gave the flights. She met me at the airport. We spent a week together and she never knew what I was talking about. But I gave her a ring. After I found out that she had a friend that worked at the agency in Cebu, and the friend told her I was coming. I became friends with the friend. She no longer works there. The friend told me that the woman never wrote a single letter or did a single chat. She says that the agency in China sends intro letters pretending to be the lady and writes all letters as the lady. They also chat as the lady. Then when they finally say they want to meet, they forward the flight information to Cebu and the Cebu worker calls the lady. She was shown a few of my letters, but still agreed to meet. The Cebu worker also says that the women that sign up at the agency wonder why no one writes to them and the agency won't tell them why. So both the men and women are trying to meet and China is pretending to be the lady and she doesn't know either. If my fiance did not have a friend at the office, we would have never met either. Every intro letter received is from China using profile of woman who actually wants to meet a man. Every chat popup is China pretending to be the woman. Also, the woman can't get her profile off the site, ever. And they keep using it to send letters.

Many of the profiles on idateasia are fake. Please do not spend any money here!
Within the last few days, police in the Philippines raided an office that was producing fake profiles, and defrauding men via idateasia.com
The owner of this office is a Chinese national, and in custody. The workers in this office have given statements to the police that they create fake profiles, and communicate with men on this site, posing as the lady in the picture, while earning commissions from idateasia for 'sales'. The Philippines police is also investigating allegations of internet pornography, and prostitution via this office.
You can find the news articles on local papers in Cebu easily by google.
This is also how some of the 'agencies' that operate on idateasia, and chnlove operate from within China.

The site is a scam. I contacted 2 women here. After a short period of time their letters were almost word for word the same. I have my doubts whether either of them ever saw my mail. Probably just some old guy sitting behind a desk answering the letters.
It is the most expensive site on the net. When the site screws up they send you a nice letter asking you to please understand but certainly no refund.
I am sure their are some nice women here but I doubt very much if they ever see your letter. If you have lots of money and time it's entertainment but don't think you are ever going to truly meet anyone.

Big fraud there! Maybe some women are real, but most are scammers - agents who reply to foreigners and try to take money from them. Extremely expensive! 10 USD for an in- and outgoing 'letter' by mostly unreal persons. If you feel comfortable with a woman and ask for a mail adress or a phone number, they say they don´t have any! Haha! In Asia: no phone? No email? Hahaha! They think foreigners are totally stupified. They answer they want to communicate only on that site! Sure, because they are the ones who take the money. They are not real, at least most of them. But it´s hard to prove it and to stop this site by a lawyer. More testimonials by 'victims' would be needed!

Guys, seriously, it's not that bad!
I am 45, and never tried online dating before, but was recommended iDateAsia as one of the best Southeast dating sites. I got divorced with my ex-wife 7 months ago and I've been on this site for 40 days now. Frankly speaking, I'm not that kind of person who's obsessed with Asian women. After the separation with my ex-wife, I did go out and try to meet new people, but those women seemed to be too picky and I couldn't see a happy future with any of them. When I began to lose my confidence to create a new relationship, one of my friends told me to try online Asian dating and recommended idateasia.com. And I listened to him.
It's free to join in. In the first 4 days, I browsed ladies' profiles, photos and the success stories, use its free service Cupid Note to send message to ladies and read its dating advice. And I felt everything seemed alright in the site, so I bought 3 credits to have a live chat with a pretty Thai woman. And then 16 credits. By now I'm been in a relationship with Khwan, a 36-year-old Thai woman. Nothing unhappy happened up to now. So I'd like to stay on iDateAsia and try to get Khwan to marry me.
