The Best Asian Chat Rooms Online

Here are some resources if you're looking for an Asian Chat room.

There are loads of chat rooms available where you can chat to Asian people in a range of countries.

As you might expect the main use of these chat rooms is for Western guys to find Asian wives and girlfriends.

Asian chat rooms are also useful if you want to find an Asian language study partner, want to meet local people when you travel to Asia, or just want to find more about Asian culture in general.

If you're looking for an Asian wife or girlfriend then a chat room is often a good place to find her.

Some dating sites are focussed on finding marriage partners for their members, while other sites cater for the market that is looking for fun and flirty chat. Some of the sites are also useful if you don't want a relationship but just want to look for a penpal, foreign language study partner or just find like minded individuals who love Asian culture as much as you do.

The Cupid Media sites are perhaps the broadest based Asian dating sites if you want to chat to Asian people. They have a number of sites including Asian Euro, Chinese Love Links, Japan Cupid and Thai Love Links. The majority of users are Western men looking for Asian women, but they're good sites to go for if you want to find a language study partner or a penpal in an Asian country to chat to.

Other websites with chat facilities include Asian Kisses and Cherry Blossoms.

The good thing about talking to people via chatrooms is that you can find out quite quickly if you're interested in that person. Many chat rooms have webcam facilities. This can be a great way to determine if the person is a good match for you. With a webcam you can assess the person's looks, posture and get clues from their body language. Many women (and maybe men as well!) on dating sites tend to post extremely flattering photos on their profiles. Chinese ladies are notorious for this. Yes Chinese ladies are often very good looking but they are big users of photoshop to lighten their skin and do all kinds of other tricks to make them look as beautiful as possible. Thanks to a webcam you can get to see the real person before making an expensive trip to Asia to meet them in person.

If you want to chat to Chinese people then you might like to install the QQ chat software on your PC. QQ is free chat software that is really popular in China. It's an instant messaging system that looks a lot like MSN Messenger. When you log in to QQ you can see which of your friends are also online. QQ has some great features, like being able to take screenshots and paste them into the messaging window. It's also possible to run video chat if you have a webcam. You can also add extra emoticons and smilies to your QQ - the Chinese spend a lot of time exchanging cute little icons and other photos through QQ.

Don't worry if you don't read or write Chinese. There is an English version of QQ. Most of the basic features are easy to use if you don't know Chinese.

The nice thing about QQ is that it's also available for Chinese mobile phones. Many people in China therefore have access to QQ chat, even if they don't have a computer at home or at work.

QQ offers additional functionality like chat rooms. You can also set up your own blog, photo album and other features using QZone. If you're looking for a Chinese partner for love or marriage then it is possible to find a partner through QQ. Just take things slowly and be careful of scams (which are quite frequent on any type of instant messaging software).

As with everything on the Internet, be careful about revealing too much about yourself! This especially applies to public chat rooms.

On online dating sites there are plenty of scammers, so be careful with your personal details and money. If talk turns to money early in the chat then you'd be wise to chat to someone else.

Asian women can be quite aggressive in their search for a Western husband. While standards of living have improved enormously in Asia over the past few years, landing a rich Western husband will take many Chinese, Thai or Filipina ladies income into the next level compared to what they could earn doing an average job in their own country. Just be careful in these chat rooms, and always think with your head!
