The site has users from 190 different countries, making it an international hit. After some use, I found that it is really more of a dating site as it lacks a few features that are commonly found on regular social media sites. You can browse through random profiles by using the search tab. DateInAsia is an Asian dating site that has approximately one million users.

It has an English version, so it’s the perfect Chinese dating app to try if you don’t speak Mandarin. OkCupid (OKC) stands out because it is one of the biggest dating sites out there. It's has 30 million active users, with a million logging in every day. So, even if you think there’s only a million to one chance someone will date you, in theory, there’s a man/woman/omnisexual on here for you. When you start out, there’s a mountain of sites to choose from; knowing where to start can be intimidating to say the least.

At the same time, you shouldn’t write off a site just because it’s free. Even Tinder, despite its reputation for attracting users seeking causal romance, may deserve a more open mind. Hundreds of thousands of consumers subscribed to Match.com shortly after receiving communications from fake profiles.

The vast majority of the users are Asian women (and foreign men looking to meet Asian women). ChinaLoveCupid.com is run by one of my most favorite online dating companies, Cupid Media. Cupid Media owns sites that I’ve used in the past like Afrointroductions.com and Brazilcupid.com (this is the site I met my wife on). Most profiles I came across were legitimate, but it is worth mentioning that Jiayuan used to have a reputation for inadvertently hosting a lot of scam-artists and fake profiles. While this doesn’t seem to be the problem it once was, just be wary of giving out personal information to people you meet online.

You’ll find attractive women from many different Asian countries, but a high percentage of them are from China, the Philippines, and Thailand. Most of the Chinese singles who use Tinder are under 35, but that’s not to say you won’t find older people using the app as well. Jiayuan allows users to rate each other’s profiles, so you can immediately see which people are active on the site in a positive way.

OkCupid is a free online dating site that has an excellent algorithm for matching partners. “If sending messages had a price or you could send only a fixed number per day, people you contact online would know you had to give up something to do so, which would incentivize better behavior,” he says.

One of the largest dating sites in China, Jiayuan is packed with attractive Chinese singles in their mid 20s to early 30s. While it’s not exclusively a Chinese dating app, Momo has over 94 million active users. When both people “like” the other’s profile, a match is formed and you can exchange messages, voice messages, videos and pictures. Tantan is a must if you’re living in or visiting a mega city like Shanghai or Beijing.

Momo hasn't explained how it plans to monetize Zao, but the app only comes with a few pre-rendered videos for users -- so it could potentially sell additional clips. Momo could also convince companies to launch free sponsored videos for the platform -- which would resemble Snap's strategy for sponsored lenses and filters. It could also integrate Zao's videos with Momo and Tantan to boost user engagement rates. It's completely different from Momo and Tantan, and it cleverly encourages users to share their fake videos -- nurturing the app's viral growth.

Jiayuan.com is the largest online dating site in China, and should be the site you sign up for if you know how to read and speak basic Chinese (if you don’t know any Chinese, check out my #2 site below). Ok, without further ado, let’s get into the descriptions of the five dating sites and apps where I found the most success. Having started in 1974, Cherry Blossoms is one of the oldest, and most popular, Asian dating sites out there.

To understand why Momo launched Zao, we should first understand its core business. Momo generated 93% of its revenue last quarter from its namesake app.
