As a modern man, you are probably no stranger to online dating. However, you likely have experience mostly with dating sites designed for a general audience, which may not be very useful when you are looking for something specific. For example, SakuraDate is one of the leading destinations for Western men looking for Chinese women. But is it a good investment of your time and money? Check out our review to find out!
Pros:
- Wide range of Asian women
- Many ways to discover your match
- Lots of contact options to choose from
- Prices are clearly listed on the site
Cons:
- No mobile apps, only a mobile browser version
Registration
Creating an account on SakuraDate takes you no more than 5 minutes and allows you to make your profile informative and attractive. First, there is the usual registration form that requires you to specify your basic data.
After that, LoverWhirl will ask you to fill out a more detailed form, where you will get a chance to describe your dating goals, personality, and your ideal partner in more detail. There is an option to skip those steps, but if you are serious about finding your perfect match, you should definitely spend the time to do it.
Search
A fun new way to discover the women of SakuraDate is the Faces game, where you get to vote yes or no on random profiles of women, as well as visit their complete profiles and get in touch with them. However, if you want to be more specific about the kind of women you meet, you are welcome to use the search. There is a short search and an extended search, where you can get as specific as you want.
Profiles
We cannot say that the profiles of women on SakuraDate are very detailed, but they contain all the information you need before deciding to reach out to the woman. There is information about her name, age, location, who she is looking for on the site, and whether she has children, as well as facts about her education, level of English, and occupation. In every profile, you will find several photos and sometimes even profile videos.
Communication
Getting in touch with the women on SakuraDate is easy and effective. You can start by liking the lady or sending a wink if you want to simply show your interest. Chat and mail options are also available, as is the Let’s Talk feature, which gives you the perfect icebreaker to use with every woman. SakuraDate also allows you to request the woman’s private contact details, set up a real date, or have a gift or flowers delivered straight to her home.
Costs
Being a member of SakuraDate is free, but communicating with the women is not. Paid features are a way for SakuraDate to make sure that all men on the site have serious intentions. You will be relieved to know that there is no paid membership on SakuraDate and you only pay for the features you are using with the help of credits. You get 20 welcome credits for free, and you can also buy them in packages. The prices for each feature are clearly explained on the site.
Customer support and safety
To make it easier even for novice members to get the hang of online dating, SakuraDate has a very detailed FAQ section dedicated to various questions you can have during your experience. We liked the presence of the Validated Member feature on SakuraDate, which allows both female and male members to verify their profiles and look more credible. Finally, SakuraDate has a readily available customer support system that can help you whenever you need.
Conclusion
If your goal is to meet women from China for serious relationships or even marriage, there is no other place you need to be than SakuraDate. This site has one of the biggest female audiences we have ever seen, and even more importantly, all female members of the site appear to be genuine. SakuraDate gives you plenty of opportunities to meet your significant other, so it’s only up to you to use them!
