What You Need to Know About Dating Asian Women

Western men love Asian women, so it’s not surprising that so many men choose to date Asian women. Dating Asian women is big business, so there are plenty of dating sites to choose from. There are also other alternatives for finding an Asian woman to date. This article describes how to go about dating an Asian woman.

The best Asian dating websites

There are a huge number of Asian dating services available. Most of the smaller sites aren’t worth bothering with as they simply don’t have enough members to reach a critical mass of users. Small sites also tend to have fairly poor privacy as well – do you really want your friends and colleagues to come across your dating profile online?

There are plenty of free Asian dating sites – examples include DateInAsia. However, free dating sites attract scammers, as well as plenty of timewasters including many people who are already married. It’s advisable to stay well clear of free dating sites.

One type of site to be very wary of is the sites that are free but you only pay when you want to contact a lady. These types of site include Foreign Ladies and Chnlove. You are advised to stay well away from these sites because:

• The pay per email model encourages fraud. The website makes money if it sends you duplicate emails, or makes up emails, or simply makes up ladies. I’m not saying this happens, but there is plenty of evidence that it does. Personally Chnlove charged me for duplicate emails from the same lady, so I know that happens. I also got charged when the ladies just wanted to touch base if I hadn’t contacted them for a few days.
• Do not underestimate how quickly charges can mount up – I ended up spending over $400 on Chnlove. For that I only contacted around a dozen ladies. When you’re searching for an Asian wife, you really need to be emailing and chatting to a lot more ladies than that!
• The letters are translated from English into the lady’s native language (e.g. Chinese or Thai). There is a wide scope for translation errors to creep in.
• The sites tend to employ a huge number of different translators. Some are better than others. I was really pleased with the translator I used the most, but others weren’t that good. Unfortunately having a bad translator can put you off further correspondence with a lady who might be really good.

In my opinion the best Asian dating sites are those run by Cupid Media. This is a large dating company with millions of members spread amongst its range of niche dating sites. All of the sites are free to join, but you only need to pay once you want to contact ladies. There is a flat rate monthly fee, so once you’ve paid that you can email as many ladies as you like.

The best Cupid Media managed sites available for Asian dating include:

• Thai Love Links for Thai ladies
• Chinese Love Links for Chinese ladies
• Filipina Heart for Filipina ladies
• Japan Cupid for Japanese ladies

AsianEuro and Asian Dating for ladies from a range of Asian countries (but they’re normally from Thailand, China and the Philippines).

There are also other niche dating sites in their range such as the AfroIntroduction site for seeking interracial marriage partners and Korean Cupid for South Korean ladies.

All of the Cupid Media sites are pretty similar, but disappointingly you have to pay for each one separately. I guess this is not usually a problem since men usually have a pretty good idea of which country they want to find an Asian wife from. If you sign up for these sites then there is a substantial discount for taking out an annual membership plan.

If you want a slightly cheaper option then Cherry Blossom dating is a cheaper option. The site has tens of thousands of members, and you’ll have no shortage of Filipina, Chinese and Thai ladies to contact. The Cherry Blossom site isn’t as user friendly as the Cupid Media sites, and the searching options and partner matching facilities are nowhere near as sophisticated.

By the way, I’ll let you into a secret. Many of the ladies on Chnlove are also on Cherry Blossom, but you’ll save a lot of money by chatting to them on Cherry Blossom!

There are many Asian countries, so it’s a good idea to decide which country you would want to find an Asian wife from. The most common countries Western men marry Asian women from are China, Thailand, the Philippines and Japan. Other countries such as South Korea, Indonesia and Vietnam also have beautiful ladies but it is much less common for Westerners to marry women from these countries.

Dating Thai women

A Thai bride was often the first choice of a Western man seeking an Asian wife. Thai ladies are very lovely, so it’s not surprising they are so popular as so called mail order brides.

These days Thailand is an attractive retirement destination, so an increasing number of Western men choose to retired to Thailand with their new wives.

Western women are very disapproving of the whole Thai bride thing. But how many of them have worked in a tuna fish factory for less than $5 a day? Marrying a Western man who adores them must be an easier way to live.

Dating Japanese women

Japanese ladies are cute and very sophisticated. They are also the most Westernised of the Asian ladies.

Japanese ladies tend to travel a lot and many of them have travelled extensively overseas. Consequently they will know a lot more about Western culture and values compared to most Chinese ladies.

Japanese wives are not easy to find, especially if you’re not an American guy. The population of Japan is much smaller than China. For the most part Japanese ladies are fairly wealthy so they don’t need to marry a Western man for economic reasons. This is a good thing as a Japanese lady will be much more likely to be marrying for the right reasons.

Japan is an expensive place to live or to visit. But it is a fascinating place so if you get the chance to visit then take it.

In all honesty the best way to find a Japanese wife is to spend time living and working in Japan. It’s quite hard to get a job as a language teacher, but working in a sector such as IT or banking is a possibility – many Western companies have offices in Tokyo. It’s much easier to find a job in Japan if you have a basic knowledge of Japanese.

Dating Chinese women

China has a huge population so consequently there are thousands of Chinese women on Asian dating sites. Chinese women are very variable in appearance. Those from the Southern Provinces bordering Hong Kong tend to be shorter and darker skinned compared to their sisters from more Northerly Provinces around Beijing. Due to the vast numbers of economic migrants, many Chinese do work thousands of miles from their homes, so this is just a general guide.

The Chinese women on dating sites tend to be fairly well educated, and some are extremely well educated. Western women tend to think of Asian brides as being uneducated, but the majority of Chinese ladies on dating sites are from the upper reaches of society. An increasing number of Chinese women have a University education, and many have degrees from overseas Universities.

Chinese ladies tend to be very beautiful, so it’s not hard to see why men are attracted to them. They rarely smoke or drink alcohol. They get plenty of exercise and keep out of the sun. Consequently it’s not unusual for a 50 year old Chinese woman to have extremely beautiful skin.

Most Western men think Chinese ladies are shy and submissive, but this is not true at all. This false impression may have arisen from Japan, but due to gal culture even Japanese ladies aren’t that shy and retiring anymore. Chinese ladies play a huge role in making the important decisions in life, and you don’t ever want to see a Chinese lady get angry.

On the downside, Chinese ladies are complicated at times, and having a relationship with a Chinese woman won’t be easy. Many of the Chinese women on dating sites tend to be extremely naïve, and have very little idea of what life outside China is really like. Finally, Chinese culture is extremely different to Western culture, so if you marry a Chinese woman you’re going to have huge cultural problems when it comes to things like childbirth.

Dating Filipina women

The Philippines economy is not in a good shape so it can be hard to earn a good living there. As a result around 10% of Filipinos work overseas. If you’re looking for a Filipina wife or girlfriend then there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find her in your own country rather than look for a wife living in the Philippines. This reduces the chance of encountering one of the many Filipina scammers working the dating sites, and you’ll also save having to fly halfway around the world to meet her.

Tens of thousands of Filipinas work in Hong Kong, so that is another possibility. There are also numerous websites for finding filipina singles.

Filipinas are popular as Asian wives because they tend to speak good English. This makes them easier to communicate with compared to the Thai or Chinese ladies who don’t speak much English. The majority of Filipinas are Christian, so if religion is an important part of your life then this is another good reason for choosing a Filipina bride.

The general tips on dating women from any country apply equally to Asian women. A good idea is to read up on her language and customs. A foreign lady is always thrilled if you can manage a few words in her own language. It’s possible to learn a few words of Thai, Japanese or Mandarin Chinese. If you have a few months to go before meeting your lady in person then why not join a language class? It’s quite easy to find Japanese or Mandarin Chinese classes running in your local area.

Likewise it’s a good idea to read up on the customs and traditions of your lady’s country.

All Asian women attach huge importance to their family. Confucianism is at the heart of many Asian values, and people generally respect their elders much more compared to in Western society. You will almost certainly need to win the respect of your Asian woman’s family if you are to marry her. Asian women often have to work to support their parents and sometimes grandparents and other members of an extended family. By marrying an Asian women you’ll be expected to assume this role – so make sure you discuss the finer points of this before marriage. Chinese women have particular pressures due to the single child policy. A Chinese lady will have a lot of pressure if she is an only child. She will also be extremely precious to her parents, so they might not be warm to the idea of their precious only daughter moving overseas. Some Chinese people do have pensions and savings, but this varies according to where they live in China and a whole host of other factors.
