4 Best Online Dating Sites in the Philippines
I’ve spent the majority of my time in Manila (the Philippines’ capital), but I’ve also traveled widely throughout the country. In contrast to many other nations, where internet or smartphone dating only produces results in major cities, the Philippines is not one of them.
Whether you stay in Manila or travel to a smaller town like Angeles City, dating sites (like the ones listed below) and dating apps will have a big number of users (such as Tinder and Badoo). Since my first trip to the Philippines in 2008, dating via technology has become increasingly common.
Unlike Thailand, where there are just a few trustworthy dating services to choose from, the Philippines has an abundance of high-quality options. A excellent online dating site has a broad membership base and an easy-to-understand UI.
The Philippines’ people are really quite receptive to dating foreigners, possibly due to a history of having a big US naval presence in the country.
People will be warm towards you if you are an English native speaker, and they will be keen to learn more about your past. Fortunately, because a big percentage of the population speaks proficient English as a second language, such a dialogue should not be difficult. Many Filipinos have relatives living in other countries.
Here is my quick list of the top five dating sites in the Philippines:
1. FilipinoCupid.com
FilipinoCupid.com is my favorite Philippine online dating site. This is the site I would spend my money on if I only had money to spend on one.
I usually discovered over 1000 profiles while searching for ladies between the ages of 18 and 35 who live in Manila and have been active on the site within the last month.
FilipinoCupid is one of the most popular members of the Cupid Media Network, with over 3 million members. Other Cupid Media sites, such as BrazilCupid.com, have the same clean website design, simple sign-up process, and robust communication features as FilipinoCupid.
FilipinoCupid is, as its name implies, a dating site for people wishing to date Filipinos. This site offers enough features for me to suggest it if that’s what you’re searching for. However, be aware of bogus profiles texting you soon after you sign up.
2. AsianDating.com
When it comes to online dating sites in the Philippines, AsianDating.com isn’t mentioned too often, yet it’s one of my favorites. Cupid Media also runs it, and it has a large following in the Philippines. In Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, it has a sizable following.
Some of the best features on AsianDating.com are only available to premium members. I’ll admit that I received a barrage of spam-like texts shortly after signing up. However, I discovered that there are a lot of genuine people on the site that wish to connect.
The site had message filters in place, which were used to weed out spammers and scammers. If you’re Asian and single, or just want to meet other Asian singles, AsianDating.com is a great place to start.
3. Cherryblossoms.com (also known as Blossoms.com)
blossoms
Cherryblossoms.com (also known as Blossoms.com) is a popular Philippine pay site that is ideal for the man who is serious about getting serious (i.e. find a wife). I know a lot of folks who have had a lot of success with this site.
Blossoms.com is a seasoned dating service that has been effectively operating since the early days of the Internet in 1995. This company has been in the game for almost 40 years, having began as the personals magazine Cherry Blossoms in 1974.
4. DateInAsia.com
For the Philippines, DateinAsia.com is a last-resort alternative. Around 1 million people have registered on the site, with the majority of them being international men and Asian women from Indonesia and the Philippines.
The site is free to join and use, but it, like any other free site, has its drawbacks.
Fake user profiles, spam accounts, individuals who aren’t serious about dating, and numerous dormant user profiles abound on DateinAsia.
If you’re looking for singles that want to socialize, there are plenty to be found here, but sifting through the bogus and inactive profiles will take some time.
I wish you a successful dating experience!
