5 Big Mistakes People Make when Using Asian Dating Websites

If you’re hoping to meet attractive, single Asians from around the world, you’re in luck: there are plenty of them, and quite a few (millions) reside on Asian dating websites. We’ve been around the Asian-dating-website-block a few times now, and there are a few mistakes we see repeated again and again by members. So, in a bid to help you find a date on an Asian dating site, here are our top 5 big mistakes to avoid…

 

1: Moving too quickly

Who wouldn’t want to seal the deal with an attractive, single member of an Asian dating site? Whilst it can be tempting to rush into a commitment, it’s easy to be allured by a potential relationship when you don’t properly consider the alternatives or drawbacks. Quick relationship proposals (even marriage proposals) might seem like a good idea to some people, but surely it makes sense to take some time to get to know each other first, maybe even meet up a few times in the flesh before pledging your lives to each other, right? You’d be surprised by how many people rush into a serious commitment before properly considering the practical and emotional implications of a life abroad (or a long distance relationship).

 

2: Profile editing (or lack of)

We understand that creating a profile page isn’t the most exciting thing to do. Nor is it the quickest. However, your profile page is your advertisement to potential dates. It should tell them what you are looking for, what you enjoy and your outlooks on life. These all add up to help you find a suitable match. If a profile is incomplete, you’re not providing enough information to your potential dates, and they may simply move on by without getting in touch. Another mistake we see, is members never updating their profile. Your opinions or situation may have changed since you first joined the site, make sure your profile reflects that.

 

3: Message bombing

With so many attractive members on Asian dating sites, it can be tempting to just contact as many people as possible using a standard message (“How you doing?” seems to be a favorite out there). We recommend avoiding this technique, because it just feels so impersonal. Dating is all about feeling special and making a personal connection, so sometimes message bombing loads of members with a bland message will just put them off you, rather than encourage them to get in touch.

 

4: Search preference mistakes

Some people never change their search preferences. They think they know exactly who they want to meet, and won’t look elsewhere. Well, this is up to each individual, but we tend to think it’s a bit of a mistake. Even if it’s a case of changing something small (such as choosing “any hair color” instead of picking just your favorite hair color), you’ll find that your matches are multiplied. Another tip for Asian dating sites, is that Asian men and women tend not to have the diversity of hair and eye color, compared with some western countries. So, if you only choose “blue eyes” as a preference, you’re probably not going to get many results.

 

5: Stereotyping

Not a lot of people have travelled around all of Asia, and some people may have a particular idea about what “Asia is like”. The fact is Asia contains dozens of countries, each with their own culture, history, groups of people, cuisine and more. If you think Asian countries are all the same, think again! Thankfully, members who use Asian dating sites tend to be quite sensitive to this fact, but it’s always a good idea to leave any preconceptions or stereotypes at the door when talking to other members on Asian dating sites. At best they might be amusing or just a bit wrong, at worst they could be highly insulting.

 

The lowdown…

The main mistakes we see on Asian dating websites, tend to be members rushing into things. Eagerness can be useful, but it can also put other members off. After that, we recommend being yourself and making sure your profile reflects your life and preferences. Forget any preconceptions you may have, and just enjoy getting to know the sea of singles looking for love on Asian dating sites.
