AsianDating.com overview, Online Dating site review

AsianDating.com overview
AsianDating.com
Asian Dating and Singles.


AsianDating.com overview:
AsianDating.com is powered by Cupid Media, which operates a number of database-driven dating sites  focused on the interracial niche markets.  AsianDating.com allows singles across Asia and Europe to connect by way of a fun and safe environment.  They offer a multi-lingual interface with a user-friendly design, easy navigation and range of interactive features to provide you with a fun and safe online dating experience - connecting you with a large database of singles.

AsianDating.com offers a tiered level of service, starting with your basic free membership.  As a free member you can send and receive e-mail from other members, so it is possible to use the site without paying a subscription fee.  If you decide to become a paying member, the higher your subscription, the better your chance of being noticed according to the way profiles are ranked, i.e. you come lower down the list.  There is an icebreaker or "send an interest" feature, which works quite well at dipping your toe into the dating pool before diving in.  Free membership, however only allows contact with paying members, but once you become one you can contact all members, paying or not.  The experience is organized so that the service improves the more money you spend.  Platinum members have access to all the bells and whistles in the form of video profiles, video mail, and a message translation service.  Moreover, the more you spend, the more space you have on your profile to appeal to other members, and you can also include contact details to communicate outside of the site.

AsianDating.com Features:
  • Standard (free) membership features
    • Create a profile
    • Send an interest
    • Add 5 photos
    • Contact paying members
    • Read messages from paying members
  • Gold membership features.  All the above plus:
    • Read messages from free members
    • Instant messaging
    • Allow free members to read your messages.  Free members cannot read each others' messages but paid membership allows you to read/send messages to any members
    • Add a personality profile - add more to your profile, and you can add your e-mail address so that you can communicate outside the website
    • Rank profile above standard - paid membership allows you a higher profile ranking, giving you a better chance of  being noticed
  • Platinum membership features.  All the above plus:
    • Watch video profiles
    • Send video mail
    • Read video mail
    • Translate messages into other languages
The site is available in the following languages: English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Norwegian.

Other features include:
  • Chat rooms
  • Pen pals from all over the world
  • Asian friends

Performing a Search on AsianDating.com:
As a free member you can browse photo galleries, and also check out singles in the following categories:
  • Men seeking women / Women seeking men
  • Men seeking men / Women seeking women
  • Pen pals
  • Dating
Then you define the location - across all areas of the globe.

You can search for other members by the details they have put in their profile, i.e. age, appearance, location, willingness to relocate.



There is a good profile management facility allowing you to change the written content, photos, e-mail alert settings, match preferences, cancellation and reactivation.  All in all it is a good runner up to the two other top sites.  Because of the carefully tiered membership system, free members are constantly adding to the database and keep the site busy and active.  Other sites often don't keep their free members because they cannot read or send e-mails, but AsianDating.com offers an excellent introductory package, enticing members in whilst allowing them to use the site freely and caters for all budgets this way.  Unlike some Asian dating sites, the level of English is to a high professional standard, so things are laid out clearly and simply.  The translation service is an impressive and its popularity speaks for itself.

To discover which dating site is best for you, try reading some more reviews and then join a few dating sites to see for yourself how they suit you. There are no limits to how many free sites you can join, except for the practical ones you impose on yourself, like how much time are you going to devote to searching, communicating and following up on leads that will come into your computer's e-mail inbox. We recommend signing up for free trials with at least two dating sites, in order to see how they compare.

DateInAsia.com overview, Online Dating site review

DateInAsia.com
DateInAsia.com
Free Dating for Awesome People!

DateInAsia.com overview:
DateInAsia.com is a highly popular site that is 100% free to register.  At the No. 2 spot this is quite something.  The other free sites reviewed here are AsiaFuns.com and AsianPersonalsMatch.com.  These alternative free sites are simple, with limited features but a high turnover.  DateInAsia.com by comparison is a clean, friendly, highly popular site.  DateInAsia.com's appearance seems to be designed to appeal to females more than males, and the tag line "Love Knows No Borders" suggests romance and marriage, though people come here for all types of relationships.  The demographic here seems to be mostly South East Asia, particularly the Phillipines, and boasts 1,172,805 registered members, so there's a good chance of getting a date.
DateInAsia.com also clearly caters for Western men who want to hook up with Eastern women, so some may say it falls into the category of Mail Order / Foreign Bride website. If you are interested in that niche, then please see our reviews in the category of Mail Order Bride Websites before signing up with DateInAsia.com, as some of the more specialized Mail Order Bride sites may suit you better.

DateInAsia.com on Features:
  • Upload your own profile and view other members' showing:
    • Gender, age
    • Country, region, city, ethnicity
    • Appearance, height, weight, eye/hair color
    • Education, occupation
    • Religion, zodiac, Chinese sign
    • Marital status, has/wants children
    • Willingness to relocate/smoking/drinking
  • Upload profile photo
  • Search facility

Performing a Search on DateInAsia.com:
  • Standard or user name searches are available. This only includes:
    • Gender
    • Age
    • Country
    • City
    • Photos/online
It goes on to clarify that whilst allegations are taken very seriously,  their system will detect false reports motivated by "revenge and jealousy" and they do not enter into disputes between members. They are not responsible for members being conned by financial scams, and they ban all members who send money to other members, because they believe this encourages scammers.  I should imagine that this arises when a man who is not in Asia hooks up with an Asian girl, and sends her the money to fly over and meet him.  Using an interesting choice of phrase, DateInAsia.com says, "Do not come whining to us if you do anything as stupid as that.  However, if someone asks you for money and you do the right thing and do not send any, we would like very much to hear from you."  Big Asian Brother has spoken.

To discover which dating site is best for you, try reading some more reviews and then join a few dating sites to see for yourself how they suit you.

As with all the Friend Finder dating sites, you can create a Friends network, so if you have met someone, say for example through telling a joke on the discussion board, you can stay in touch with your dating buddies.  There is the option of deleting all members in this list with inactive profiles immediately, so this keeps things fresh.  The site had 6,550,143 members while we were online, 48 of whom were chatting live, an estimate that is updated every 24 hours. 

With its large population of active members, broad range of powerful features, excellent value for money, and admirable customer support, AsiaFriendFinder.com is by far the best site in the category; in fact, none of its competitors even come close!

EthiopianPersonals.com overview, Online Dating site review

EthiopianPersonals.com overview
EthiopianPersonals.com overview
Connecting Ethiopians worldwide for Life, Love and Marriage.

EthiopianPersonals.com overview:

Ethiopian Singles is a site that is focused on getting all black singles hooked up with their perfect matches in a great online dating environment. With a number of wonderful features, designed to enhance the dating experience of all of the site's users, Ethiopian Singles is ideal for those users who are looking for love online. Ethiopian Singles is part of World Singles, the company behind Soul Singles (and many other online dating sites). One thing that was disappointing about Ethiopian Singles at the outset was the price, which, despite sharing many of the features of Soul Singles, was considerably higher than that on all other World Singles sites (including Soul Singles!). At almost $40 a month for the 1-month membership, or $25 a month at it's cheapest for 6-month membership, we were shocked by how expensive this site was. If users are a little reluctant about spending so much on a dating site like Ethiopian Singles, we would suggest you give the site a go by signing up to the site's free membership option. By so doing, users can check out what the site has to offer in terms of features for a limited period of time, before signing up to a subscription membership.

Users of Ethiopian Singles can create their own profile; complete with an unlimited number of photos to let other users know what you're like. Users also have the option to spend a little more time on their profile to make it a little more exciting. Users can record a video message to introduce themselves and host this message on their profile for all users to check out. Users can also take the 'personality match' test and publish the results on their profile, so that other users know exactly what they are like as a person, and what they are looking for in a lover. We were impressed by both of these features, as we thought they spiced-up the process of creating a profile using Ethiopian Singles. Users can send 'flirts' to other users to let them know that they are interested, and contact them through the internal Ethiopian Singles mailbox, or using the fantastic instant messaging service. Finally, users can manage their contacts using a 'friends network', which is publically viewable, and a 'favorites list', which is private and can't be seen by everyone.

EthiopianPersonals.com Features:
  • Ethiopian personals is powered by World Singles, the company behind many singles sites - including the extremely popular "Soul Singles".
  • Ethiopian Personals shares all of the excellent features of all World Singles sites - a hallmark of online dating quality.
  • Create your own online photo profile to let other user see what you're like. 
  • Take the "personality match" quiz and generate your own personality match profile.
  • View other users' personality match profiles to see if they are a match for you.
  • Send flirts to other users to let them know you're interested in them.
  • Search other profiles using a number of detailed search options and save your searches for later use.
  • Use your free Ethiopian Personals internal mailbox to get in touch with other members.
  • Use Ethiopian Personals instant messaging service to have real-time chats with other users.
  • Keep a friends network on Ethiopian Personals to keep track of your new friends.
  • Create a video profile and record a message for other members to see.
  • View other members' video profiles to get an impression of what they're really like.
  • Create a private 'favorites' list to keep track of the users you would like to get to know better.
  • Read up on the past success stories of Ethiopian Personals.

Ethiopian Singles does have a great set of features and a more than acceptable number of users. The site is however, way too expensive to warrant our wholehearted recommendation. At between $25 and $40 per month, this site is the most expensive site we have reviewed in this category. Considering the content of this site as compared to other sites we have reviewed, we don't feel that this price is at all justified, as most of the sites in this category offer the same features (and in many cases, more!) for a lot less in terms of monthly subscription. Ethiopian Singles does offer free membership, and we would suggest that anyone considering subscribing to this site signs up to the free trial to compare the features to those of other sites. Hit the link below to give this site a try.

BlackDatingNetwork.com overview, Online Dating site review

BlackDatingNetwork.com overview
BlackDatingNetwork.com
Meeting that Special Someone just got easier.

BlackDatingNetwork.com overview:
Black Dating Network is a site devoted to providing a great online dating environment for black singles looking for love, companionship, friendship or just some fun. Something to note early on is that Black Planet Lovers and Black Dating Network are clones of each other, and so share exactly the same features, user database and layout. Both sites are ran by the Tango Wire network of dating sites, which runs more than 30 separate online dating sites, devoted to a range of specific interest. A little bit of research however, does illustrate that most of the Tango Wire sites share exactly the same user database and set of functions. Whilst this is not necessarily problematic, we do think it is a little misleading to sell Black Dating Network as a black dating site, as all of the users that a member of the site could contact are drawn from the regular Tango Wire user database (which is of course, not specific to black users). Subscription to Black Dating Network isn't cheap either, with the shortest duration of membership costing just under $60 for three months. This makes Black Dating Network a little expensive compared to other sites that we have reviewed, though of course, users are still able to access a free trial membership option so that they can check out what the site has to offer in advance of forking out for a subscription.

Despite the lack of specificity to black daters, Black Dating Network does have a great collection of features, which is the least we can expect from a site ran by Tango Wire. Users can complete excellent photo profiles and include an unlimited number of images with which to excite other users and attract them to their profile. We were also impressed that users who don't have digital copies of their photos can send their photographs to Black Dating Network to have them scanned, and returned (and it's all part of the service, with no additional fees!). Black Dating Network supports 5 major world languages, and offers a translation service for mailbox messages that works well (even if it's not 100% accurate in all cases).

BlackDatingNetwork.com Features:
  • Black Dating Network is a site devoted to black singles finding the perfect match.
  • Powered by Tango Wire - a market leader in the online dating world.
  • It is totally free to join - sign up today and start checking out the profiles on Black Dating Network
  • Have access to all profiles on the Tango Wire network, or limit your searches or browsing to only those in the "black" interest category.
  • Use a functional search tool to surf through the profiles hosted on Black Dating Network to find your perfect match.
  • Create a photo profile complete with photo gallery to show off what you have to offer to other users.
  • Check out a list of "Who's Online?" to chat straight away with other users.
  • Use a private Black Dating Network mailbox to get in touch with other users. 
  • Compile a favorites list to keep track of those members you like the most. 
  • Admirers list - check out those users who have added you to their favorites list.
  • Send 'Smiles' to other users to let them know you are interested in them.
  • Strict security and privacy settings mean that only those who you want to see your information can do so!
  • Upload an unlimited number of photos, or send photos to Black Dating Network to have them scanned on to the site.
  • Support for 5 languages.
  • Online FAQs and technical support.

Performing a Search on BlackDatingNetwork.com:
There are a number of search options available for users of Black Dating Network:
  • Basic Search
    • Gender/Orientation
    • Age Range

  • Premium Search has all of the quick search options, plus:
    • Smoking Habits
    • Body Build
    • Height
    • Marital Status
    • Location
  • Saved Searches 

All in all, Black Dating Network isn't a bad site as far as general dating sites go ' it has a comprehensive selection of features (though we were a little disappointed by the notable absence of an instant messaging function), and a large membership. We did find the fact that the user base is general, drawn from the Tango Wire database, a little misleading as a it fails to really allow members to contact a larger proportion of black users than on a regular dating site. The site is also a little expensive, when compared to other sites in this category. If you would like to check out what this site has to offer, hit the link below to see more.

BlackDateLink.com overview
BlackDateLink.com
Thousands of African-American Singles online every day in search of friendships, Dating & more!


BlackDateLink.com overview:
With thousands of users online every day, Black Date Link certainly seems like a great option for users wanting to give black online dating a try. Black Date Link does have a good set of features (though it is let down by a few notable absences) and certainly seems to bustle with active users. Registration to Black Date Link is free, which is always a bonus, and users can experience all that the site has to offer for three days without subscription. Once the trial period is over, subscription membership varies in cost depending on the duration of membership chosen. Monthly membership costs an outrageous $29.86 for just one month, whilst a year's subscription will set you back just short of $10 a month, at $99.99 for the year. While we liked the 'feel' of Black Date Link, as we felt it did create an atmosphere perfect for online dating, we did think the price was a little too expensive considering the absent features and the relative cost of other sites, rated higher in our reviews.

Users of Black Date Link have access to a number of great features. Users can create a great profile, complete with a number of different editable sections and an unlimited number of photos. Users can also send other users messages using the inclusive mailbox feature, which also comes with built in message filtering and contacts list (that is hooked up with your contacts list on the site). Users can also host a gallery of their photographs and control access to teach album through excellent privacy settings. This means that users can open up some of their photos to public viewing, and keep access to others controlled, allowing access only to those who have a 'backstage pass'. Finally, there's also a fantastic set of message boards that allow users to converse on a number of topics, which really adds to the community feel on Black Date Link.

BlackDateLink.com Features:
  • Free registration - start looking for your perfect 'ebony' partner today.
  • Thousands of users online at all times - search through users to find someone you like.
  • Keep your own profile on Black Date Link, complete with photos.
  • All profiles on Black Date Link are verified through computer and human screening to ensure authenticity.
  • Free use of a private mailbox on Black Date Link to get in contact with other users.

  • A range of great search options to ensure that you find what you're looking for on Black Date Link.
  • Stringent privacy and security policy - only share the information you wish to let others see.
  • Online FAQs and technical support.

While we did like what Black Date Link had to offer, in terms of the environment that users surfed around in online, we did think that the price was a little over what we would pay considering the features that were absent. Simply put, Black Date Link doesn't rank higher in our reviews because there is no instant messaging service and no video profile option (something that, whilst not extremely common in the online dating industry, does feature in all of those higher in our ratings than this site). There are a few interesting additional features, such as the two-way matching service, and the personality quiz, but we didn't feel that these features really justified the monthly subscription fee being so high. We would certainly advise all our users to shop around and check out other sites in our reviews.

Black Dating With Adult Findout (blackdating.adultfindout.com) overview:
Black Dating is a site operated through the large dating network of Adult Findout. Adult Findout has been in the dating business for a number of years, and is owned and operated by Passion.com, a leader in the online dating sector. The site has a fantastic set of features, many of which are innovative and original, and is the ideal place for users to get to know other users. The site is particularly exciting because it is completely free of charge (something that is a great draw for users, and never fails to impress us). We would suggest that all users open a profile and have a go at dating using this site. One thing to note, however, is that Black Dating with Adult Findout is not specifically a black dating site ' the Black Dating site homepage is simply a site that redirects through to the main Adult Findout dating page, where users get access to all of the standard features and can search the regular user base. While the homepage may suggest otherwise, users actually have no greater chance of hooking up with another black single than on any other regular dating site.

Users of Black Dating can open excellent user profiles, complete with an unlimited number of photos. Users can organize their photos into albums, with specific privacy settings for each album. Users can also create and manage a 'friends network', so that they can check out what your favorite users are up to. In order to find your favorite users in the first place, it's very simple to execute a complex search based on a number of variable search criteria. Users also receive a monthly email newsletter, detailing the most popular new users and letting all users check out their photo galleries.

All in all, this site is potentially worth a try as it may certainly provide users with some opportunity to hook up with other singles online. Of course, it should be noted that this is not essentially a black dating focused site, but redirects through to the main Adult Findout dating page. The site is, however, completely free of charge for all users, so we would suggest that, regardless of the absence of a black dating specialism, you log on to the site, open a profile and start dating today.

To discover which dating site is best for you, try reading some more reviews and then join a few dating sites to see for yourself how they suit you. There are no limits to how many free sites you can join, except for the practical ones you impose on yourself, like how much time are you going to devote to searching, communicating and following up on leads that will come into your computer's e-mail inbox. We recommend signing up for free trials with at least two dating sites, in order to see how they compare.

BlackScene.com overview:
Black Scene is a great 'ebony' dating site intended to create an environment perfect for users to find love, companionship and more online. Black Scene is one of those sites that, despite having a vast range of features that are extremely useful to its users, we did find that it was particularly expensive for users to upgrade their standard membership to premium membership. At almost $20 per month (and no reductions for buying a long-term membership), we found monthly membership of this site a little too expensive, especially when compared to other sites offering similar services. Our No.1 reviewed site in this category, Black Singles, offers many of the same features as Black Scene, but at only a quarter of the cost in terms of monthly subscription. A similar situation occurs with users of Afro Introductions, our second highest rated site, who get access to loads of great features, for less than $10 a month. We do think it's a shame when a great site is ruined by the fact that its administrators charge too much for monthly membership. That said, if you have the money to spare, there's still a lot going for Black Scene, so read on to find out what the site has on offer.

Black Scene offers great opportunities for users to construct fantastic profiles complete with loads of information and an unlimited number of photos. Users have the opportunity to host their own photo galleries, where they can share their photos with other users. Users can also check out a complete list of those users who have viewed their profile in the past, allowing users to get in touch with people who may already be interested in getting to know them. Users also have video profile capacity, allowing them to record a great introductory message to all users and host it on their user profile. This feature particularly impressed us, as it really lets users take advantage of all technology has to offer to get to know site users better.

BlackScene.com Features:
  • One of the best 'Ebony' communities online.
  • Completely free standard membership, so that you can check out what Black Scene has to offer its users.
  • Create an online profile with an unlimited number of photos to show other users what they're getting.
  • All users get access to the Black Scene mailbox, so they can get in contact with other users through internal mail.

Black Scene does, all in all, provide a vast range of excellent features for its users to enjoy. Even though everything that is featured on Black Scene is great quality, we can't help but feel that it doesn't offer a great deal in the way of particularly original features. All of the features that are offered by Black Scene are also offered by other sites, often rated higher in our reviews, and in all cases for a considerably cheaper subscription fee. As we have said, we would suggest that all users shop around before subscribing to a black dating site, as we are sure that other sites are better value considering the (frankly exorbitant) subscription fee on Black Scene.

Ebony Friends is a great site with a range of features intended to improve the dating experience of all those users who choose to sign up. Ebony Friends is pretty popular in the online black dating industry, attracting a healthy number of users who are particularly active on the site, with thousands logged on at most times of the day. Ebony Friends is designed to provide the most up-to-date features so that users can take advantage of a great online environment in which they can meet their perfect partner! Subscription to this site is perhaps what lets it down the most, as, depending on the duration chosen, the subscription cost ranges between $29.95 a month and an average of around $12 a month. We felt that, despite a great range of features, this subscription charge was a little steep, and would only the longest duration membership, as it provides the best value for money. That said, there is a trial membership feature, which allows users to test out some of Ebony Friends' best features completely free of charge, and we would recommend users give this a go before signing up to the full membership subscription.

We were very impressed by the features included on Ebony Friends, and feel the site creates a great online environment for meeting other users and creating meaningful partnerships. We were particularly excited to see the site offers instant messaging and video profiles, which we feel that really add value to a dating site. Our only real criticism is the price of subscription to Ebony Friends, as we feel it's a little steep considering that of other sites in this category. There is a great free membership option however, and would certainly suggest that all users check this out to see if Ebony Friends is right for them.
