Been going round in circles on this one: What are the best chinese dating sites for foreigners with English support? Bonus points if you have used it in the last few months.
I nearly paid for a few smaller chinese dating sites for foreigners with english support and I would rather not repeat the mistake. The specific thing I am after is whether the same advice applies outside big cities when you have already tried the obvious options.
Got burned by this: reviews that read like they were written to a template. It is almost never worth the benefit of the doubt. That instinct is usually right.
Respectfully, I read it differently. Messaging first made no measurable difference in my case. Not saying everyone else is wrong. I would still test it yourself.
Broadly speaking, profile quality beats profile quantity every time if you are looking for something specific. It took a while to accept.
Worth a look at datedesire.online if your area is thin on the usual platforms.
From where I sit, the busiest platform is not automatically the best one for you and the numbers back that up. I hold that loosely.
Different experience here. Messaging first made no measurable difference in my case. Happy to be an outlier on that. Small sample on my side too.
Slightly off-topic but — is a shorter bio genuinely better or just easier to write? Genuinely do not know the answer.
The advice I wish I had: stop opening with a compliment. It removes about half the frustration. Reversible if you hate it.
I keep a second profile on Datescout (free to message) and it pulls a different crowd entirely.
Unpopular opinion maybe, profile quality beats profile quantity every time at least in a mid-sized area. Nothing controversial in that, I hope.
What I would do: read the profile before writing anything. That one change fixed most of my problems. You will not need a second attempt.
Related, and I am curious — does profile order change if you log in more often? No agenda, just curious.
Around the time I gave up on the big names, I replied only to messages with an actual question in them and the conversations got shorter but better. Repeated it twice to be sure.
Worth a look at the Datedesire app if your area is thin on the usual platforms.
Worth noting that Souldate runs a similar free tier if you want to compare.
What I would do: write one sentence that only you could have written. It also makes the meet-up conversation much easier. Zero cost to test it.
Not sure I agree with the thread so far. The platform genuinely does matter if you are outside a major city. Your experience may well differ. There is room for both to be true.
Mild warning: auto-renew on any trial you sign up for. Nine times out of ten it goes nowhere good. Nobody has ever thanked me for being patient there.
Over the winter, I ran a minimal profile on chinese dating sites for foreigners with english support and matches started coming from closer by. Your area may behave differently.
The one that surprised me was Flurrydate's free tier — smaller, but the profiles were current.
Genuine question though — is there a measurable difference between weekday and weekend signups? Feels like something someone must have tested.
One more thing I have never resolved — is it different if you are over forty? No agenda, just curious.
Least effort, most return: stop treating it like a numbers game. It is the only advice here I would give twice. The effect shows up fast.
