Are these girls bots?
October 5, 2020

I men I have women message me which I cannot read since I do not want to pay yet. The funny thing is, they message you because they are interested but from all these women who messaged me, none of them even liked my profile or even viewed my profile and straight up just message me so I doubt those messages are real.

Full of fake profiles
July 25, 2020

Full of fake profiles, especially of (pretending to be) Chinese girls that after a while try to lure you into some (apparently profitable) financial transaction. I mean, it would be ok if the site were free, but I am paying a hefty montly fee just to see thii poor checking on the profiles. Thumb down

So much for my enthusiasm. I thought joining a dating website such as Japan Cupid would lead to happiness. Minutes, I mean minutes after joining, I receive a message. The guy was a total pervert, illiterate disgusting person. Then again in the same hour, same type. Then a third time. I deactivated the account. Are there any decent people looking on this site? Japan Cupid, do you even watch what goes on? I want to avoid all dating sites now. DIsgusting, can't get it out of my mind what happened.

Deleted my profile twice with no warning or explanation
October 29, 2019

I was happy to see a website for Japanese dating, as I always felt my morals/personality aligned more with Japanese culture than American. However, even after showing them my ID (which they probably stole information from), they STILL deleted my profile almost immediately with no explanation. I tried e-mailing them and got no response... probably just a fake website used to steal your data and sell it, it's super sketch that my profile got deleted even after sending them a photo of my ID. Pretty screwed up.

Suspending Profiles continually for no reason
October 25, 2019

My profile was deleted after a few weeks. I had a date and was planning to meet some of the men in person this week but when I tried signing in I saw the notification that my profile was deleted because my "goal is not aligned with meeting a future husband" which there was no proof of this accusation in my profile nor my messages sent to users. Then when I sent an email they copied and pasted the same message from the suspension notification into the email. When I tried to make a new profile they deleted it again within the same day. This site is straight trash.

Be very very careful with Japan cupid.
October 2, 2019

Full of fake profiles, Golddiggers, passport hunters, sugar daddy hunters and madwomen.
Most of the women on there are there because Japanease Guys don't want them because they are just crap women.
Japan cupid is like trying to find a diamond in a manure pile, most women on there have been round the Block with their lives and body's more than a Taxi in Newyork.
If you do find one that gives you a good time make sure to wear protection because most on there are in contact with hundreds of Guys.

A scam, dishonest and dodgy
September 13, 2019

My experience is worth reading about. I joined a few weeks before going to Japan. I messaged 14 girls, only 2 had even read my message.
1 replied and we started conversing.
We didn't get to meet while in Japan as it didn't time in that way but after getting back home to Australia I was just about to ask for her offline contact details (such as Line).
She had sent me a message which I went to read. But, after sending her message she deactivated her account.
Then in my inbox her messages, the new unread one and all previous messages were missing!
I contacted admin and they said for privacy reasons anyone who removes themselves from the site has their messages removed.
I argued that she was a paying member when she sent it and it's her choice to leave the site if she chooses and I'm still a paying member when I went to read it.
(Also in my experience on other sites that DON'T remove messages from your inbox, a girl will send her offline contact details just prior to deactivating her account.
I have since tried to log on and contact admin again and guess what?! My account has been disconnected.
They claim to be there to bring people together yet that is BS, they only want paying members. Do not even bother with any of the "Cupid" sites.

No Japanese Men!
September 1, 2019

This is not "Japan Cupid", but "Indian/Nigerian/Pakistan Cupid". Too many scammers and old gross men from these poor countries. I came to Japan Cupid to meet Japanese men, not black, white, or Indian men. Why are earth are these fools giving me hearts when I specifically said I want a Japanese man? I have better luck just moving to Japan. Too much hassle to swift through the sea of scammers, losers, and grandpas.

They terminated my profile and didn't reply to me
August 22, 2019

May I tell the truth? This site is a piece of $#*!. They terminated my profile, they didn't send me warning email, just boom, I cannot entered one day. I wrote an email to the support team (they say, they can reply in 24 or 48 hours), they didn't reply to me. I was very angry, because I had many conversation, and they just deleted my profile. I think, they use member's ID, that's why they determinate profiles...
Don't use this site, they stole your personal data...

I Wish I Never Signed Up For This Site
August 2, 2019

Japan Cupid was a complete waste of time for me. I'm an American woman. So, when I found out there was a site like Japan Cupid where you can meet Japanese singles online I was delighted. This was sometime early last year. While I did get some interests from Japanese men early on, what really was a turn off for me was how I had to have a Gold or Platinum account just to send messages to guys I liked. Then, around September 2018, one guy I was really interested in asked me if I had LINE. Initially, I said no because I just deleted my account after talking with another crazy guy from this same site. Then, I asked him if he had Skype...no response. Then, I said I have a LINE Lite account and asked if that would work for him and he completely blocked me from messaging him. After that, I deactivated my first account.

Tried signing up for Japan Cupid again in November 2018. Thisn time I used a different email address. Initially, things were a little slow but I was getting some interests even with my picture up. However, some of these same interests over time were lost because I temporarily deactivated my account in April 2019 or they hadn't been on in a while. I even tried messaging people with gold or platinum membership. The second guy I messaged blocked me from sending him anymore messages after he failed to respond to my first one. I tried reporting him to the site, but there was nothing Japan Cupid could do. As another reviewer said, there aren't many Japanese men on this site to begin with. Every now and then, I too got interests and messages from non Asian men especially ones from the Middle East and Africa. It also appears that some of the men on this site are jerks especially that user who goes by the name of Sun from Nagoya, Japan. This was the guy who blocked me back in June 2019. And in my opinion, the non Asian men who do try to show interest in me were just looking for any woman they could find even if they weren't Asian or Japanese. Anyway, I'm glad I'm off that site. While I still do want to date and or marry an Asian or Japanese man, I just know that I need to look elsewhere. Like I should've done from the get go. This was a learning experience though. I learned my lesson. AND I WILL NEVER JOIN JAPAN CUPID EVER AGAIN.

Fake site
June 18, 2019

Many accounts are fake in this website.
You buy a premium account to send messages, you send them a message and they don't even see it. During all your subscription, you don't receive any match.
And suddenly, just when your premium subscription ends, you get spammed by many beautiful girls who want to flirt with you.
This is a fake, a lie, to deceive you and make you extend your premium subscription.

Bunch of losers
April 30, 2019

All the people that I met via this website is complete loser and/or sex addicts. Even Japanese who are registered this site is a complete moron. It's exhausting to have some reasonable expectations before seeing the person, and get disappointed each single time. Terrible site.

Unimpressed
February 23, 2019

Constantly same people are your matches. To many scammers on site. Technical issues all the time. They accept any pictures including the back of people's heads and I even found one that had 3 different people in 3 different photos on the same profile who's the real one. Good price and good set up but run by amateurs. Made comments on other review sites but they never got shown. They self reviewed so be careful. Very annoying with matches always same people and only a few new ones. Matches constantly ask for email address and/or phone number. Not a good site. If anyone praises site Be very wary of their comments more than likely works for them

Catfish, Clownfish, and Fugly Non-Japanese Men
January 21, 2019

I was recommended this site by a friend. Thank God I did not spend my hard-earned cash on this site! This is the worst site on earth. The first thing that upset me was that, I am a non-Asian woman and non-Asian men are flirting with me! These men obviously have to be joking or are just dumb because I specifically stated what age range I wanted and I wanted a JAPANESE MAN! I can meet white, black, and hispanic men in real life. Why are you on Japancupid if you are not interested in Japanese women!? Stop wasting my time!

Second complaint, most of the men interested in me are super old and gross. Old enough to be my grandfather. Not all of us what a mack/big daddy or whatever that crazy crap is called. I don't have daddy issues, not desperate, or insecure. JC needs to get more strict features! Thankfully, I have met and married a Japanese man in real life. If you are not a old white man, then your chances of finding love on this site are slim. You will become highly discouraged and disgusted with your matches, in which they are NO WHERE NEAR what you want! I never wanted a 75-year-old grandpa simpson liking me! When these age group of men added me to their favorite group, I logged off for good. That was the last nail in the coffin. Waste of time and would have been a waste of money too because the men who contacted me, in which I had to pay to see their message, where obviously either fake, married, or hiding something since they lacked a picture. A lot of profiles lacked a picture, so it is a fake site! This site is a magnet for catfish, clownfish, and whales (old, gross, balding, and over-weight white dirty men). What a jooookkkke!

They will terminate your account for no reason
January 6, 2019

Opened a free account with this site, invested a lot of effort and time to build up my account with honest wording, description, real pictures etc.
Never tried anything illicit like trying somehow to pass a secret code with my info on it, illicit pictures upload, or a message to some member with rude or in any way inappropriate content.
My account was terminated a week later because I wouldn't pay for their overpriced monthly membership plans, although I sincerely considered it and was going to eventually pay for the membership but in the mean time decided to stay on free membership option until some kind of special price offer comes along (as they often do in other dating sites).
So, yes, terminated without any warning or reason given...
I recommend all honest true love seekers to stay away from this scamming and rude business.

Same people
July 8, 2017

I was just bored, and wanted to talk with japanese guys.
I was a member of this site on and off for years. On the first day i registered my new profiles, always the same guys sent me messages... with the same texts.
I was inactive for 1-2 years, and when i reactivated my membership, guess what?
Those guys sent me the same copy paste texts again. They had the same picture and everything.

People sent me likes without reading or viewing my profile.

All of the messages (except for the long copy paste ones) were comments on my pictures.

Members can't read
February 26, 2017

I'm a 20 years old white girl. I wanted to talk with japanese men on this site.
I got about 30 likes within a hour, and 5-8 messages.
How many of these people viewed my profile? 1 or 2.
How many of them fit my criteria? None. Most of these men were fat, balding 50-70 years old black, white men.
All of the messages I got were almost identical > compliments on my looks.
It's pretty disturbing when men older than my grandfather give me pet names and call me pretty/sexy.

I recommend this site if you are a gerontophile.

Waste of time
September 27, 2016

I'm an european girl, and I registered to meet with japanese guys.
Only old, ugly black and white men talked to me, even when i wrote on my profile with full caps that '' ONLY JAPANESE MEN PLS''.
When i was browsing for members, i saw that there are actually very few active asian members on this site.
So, it's a waste of time.

Very well organized website
May 25, 2014

Very well organized website. The women are real, but most can not write English very well so sometimes it's hard to communicate. Also, seems like all the women are looking for husbands. Weird approach to life. LTR first maybe?:)

Lovely women though.
