DateInAsia Dating - Meet Beautiful Asian Ladies Online

Are you looking for an Asian wife or girlfriend? DateInAsia is one of the biggest free Asian dating sites on the Internet. There are over a million members, so you're sure to find the Asian girl of your dreams.

Here are some thoughts on DateInAsia. Is it a good place to find an Asian girlfriend? Are free dating sites false economy? And is DateInAsia worthwhile due to the problems with scammers?

First of all, DateInAsia is a wildly popular dating site. The site is primarily used for Western men looking for Asian wives and girlfriends. The site has over one million members, although it's not clear how many of these are active at any one time.

The search facilities on DateInAsia are pretty basic. You can basically just search by age and country, with a drilldown to make it city specific.

Once you've searched for a girl you like you can view her profile. Profiles show a few physical features such as height, weight and hair color. There are also important details such as whether she smokes, has children and her marital status. Be sure to check what she's entered for "willing to relocate" - some guys like the idea of living in Asia, but most would prefer it if their Asian girl were to move to their own country. Ladies can upload a photo of themselves, although the site only allows a single photo to be uploaded whereas other dating sites allow you to upload many more photos.

One useful feature of DateInAsia is the quick search page that allows you to search for members by city. This page lists the Asian cities that have the most DateInAsia members registered with the site. Cities in the Philippines, Thailand and China are most numerous. This is a useful facility if you can only find flights to certain Asian cities from your own country. I wish I had known about this facility when I was looking for a Chinese girlfriend, as I ended up visiting a girl in Wuhan in central China. This cost me a lot more than visiting one of the major cities with an international airport hub like Beijing or Shanghai, as I had to get an internal flight connection from Beijing and Westerner friendly hotels in Wuhan are also more expensive than their Beijing or Shanghai equivalents.

What I don't like about DateInAsia is the fact that your user details are accessible to non-members. I'd rather not have my personal information on show.

DateInAsia doesn't give any company ownership details, so it falls far short of what I'd expect from a legitimate website. Please use this site with caution.

DateInAsia is also a free site and they have limited facilities to police the site. In their defence they do make this clear in their FAQ. Be realistic, if you're not willing to pay for a dating site then don't expect any comeback if things go wrong. Free sites are always a good place to meet scammers, so be especially wary of a free dating site like DateInAsia. Although most scammers are fairly obvious, some are not. An even greater problem on free dating sites are the timewasters and heartbreakers. These really will cause you emotional heartbreak if you get involved with them. Unfortunately I learned from experience that they are not at all easy to spot.

Like all the Asian dating sites that aren't country specific like Cherry Blossom dating and Asian Kisses, DateInAsia tends to have a lot of ladies from the China, Thailand and the Philippines.

Thai ladies have traditionally been the most popular Asian brides. There are plenty of Thai ladies on DateInAsia.

Chinese ladies are also numerous on DateInAsia. Chinese ladies are often exceptionally beautiful, and the Chinese ladies on dating sites tend to be very well educated. However they can be hard going at times and not remotely like the shy, submissive Asian lady that most Western men imagine them to be. The language and cultural barrier between Western and Chinese people is immense.

Filipina ladies are numerous on all Asian dating sites, and DateInAsia is no exception. Filipinas make great loving wives. Many of them also work overseas. Being English speaking is also a huge advantage over Thai or Chinese ladies. Finding an honest Filipina on DateInAsia or any other dating site will be hard work though as sadly there are a lot of scam ladies operating out of the Philippines.

There are also a few ladies from other Asian countries including Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam. The ladies from these other Asian countries are well worth considering. Malaysian girls are lovely, especially those of Chinese origin. There are plenty of Malaysian girls who speak good English. Indonesian women are often very beautiful although bear in mind that Indonesia is a long way for most Western guys to travel to (unless they live in Australia). Parts of Indonesia are also quite high risk for Westerners to travel to, so choose your potential partner's location carefully. Finally Vietnamese ladies are lovely, although its a lot less common for them to marry Westerners. Chinese men certainly like Vietnamese women, and there has been a big rise in the number of Chinese men marrying Vietnamese women.

There are also a few Asian ladies living in Western countries. Many of these are Filipinas working overseas. It's often a good idea to find an Asian woman living in your own country. She will be familiar with your language and culture, and you don't have to fly halfway across the world to meet her.

First of all if you're serious about finding an Asian wife then please consider using a pay site. A free dating site is a false economy. Paid sites nearly all check the identities of the ladies on their site, and they are able to spend money on anti-fraud measures. If you're looking for an Asian wife in general then AsianEuro is a good site to use. An alternative is Cherry Blossom dating. For Chinese ladies try Chinese Love Links. For Filipina girls try Filipina Heart. All of these sites are run by Cupid Media, who have a pretty good reputation. Unfortunately you have to sign up and pay for these sites separately but their monthly or annual fees are fairly reasonable. You can actually sign up to each of these sites and browse the lady profiles for free.

To be honest all dating sites have loads of timewasters on them. How many dating site members are already married? I guess the percentage is in high double digits.
A good alternative is to use an introduction agency. If you're an older guy looking for a Thai bride then I would ignore dating sites in favor of an introduction agency like Anglo Thai Introductions. Your choice of potential partner will be reduced, but a reputable agency will do a lot more background checking of their members. Many of them also offer fixed fee introductions, which in many cases would work out cheaper then messing around with dating sites. Introduction agencies are especially numerous in Thailand. They are often run by Western expats and are based in Bangkok or Pattaya.

Many Asians meet their partners by personal introductions. If you have Asian friends then get using that network! If you don't know any Asian people then try building a network. Taking language lessons is a good way to meet Asian people online - there are endless numbers of Thai and Chinese people online who would love an English speaking language buddy. Asian chat rooms are a good way to make contacts in Asia.

Finally there are companies that offer escorted tours of Asian countries. On a tour you can meet loads of Asian ladies. This might be a good option if you're comfortable meeting women in person instead of getting to know them via email or webcam.

DateInAsia is one of the largest free Asian dating sites. The site is hugely popular, with over a million members.

Free dating sites are OK for a casual look, but I don't recommend them if you're serious about finding a partner.
