The biggest scam ever. Stay away.

I've used the site for years, but to be honest, you'll need to be patient and bank on luck for a successful outing. I've had some good relationship with several girls before but they never wanted to meet me in the end. Would I say I was lucky to meet one in China. Though her English was not too polished, it made a little difference when compared to talking online( with translator). I asked her things we discussed earlier (because I've read reviews that raised assertions that the ladies were fake and that you're only talking with the translator). Thank Goodness, she knew it, so I guess I hadn't been scammed. And what's more, the lady was less beautiful in person than the picture made her appear.

The girls are real. They exists. The clnlove.com website is in Hong Kong. They work with many agencies, mainly other matchmaking agencies in different cities. As china is a very big place. These different agencies sign up these real girls and convince them to pay money to have their pictures taken professionally, if you look carefully the girls from the same city will be wearing some of the same dresses in the photo. Scam 1... these pictures are so photoshop that the real girl looks a lot less beautiful in real life. The girls were told that is ok because the foreigners are used to the artistic presentation such as we buy magazines full of photoshop pictures.

Scam 2... This is the big one. Most the girl do not speak or write English. So that is where the translator comes in. The Hong Kong head office get to see all the incoming email from us and they just reply back. They will pretend they are the girl. By keeping the conversation going they make ten dollars for each exchange. They probably pay 50 U.S. a day for an office girl in Hong Kong and she can earn her daily wage in 20 minutes. Good business and a good scam. It makes us guys feel loved. Like phone sex.

Scam 3... The truth. Only when you want to meet the girl by paying more money, you will find sometimes the girls are relentant to see you because they were never interested in you and the website was doing all the talking. However there are many cases the girl are interested in you and you end up meeting them and end up happy ever after. But along the path many many lies.

Well, for me I think it's reasonable for sites to charge a certain fee to make up for the running cost of the website operation. At this moment I think it's worth it cos they have lots of beautiful girls. That's most important you know. I just joined few weeks ago, so I can't tell if it is a scam or not but I'll figure out later.

I totally agree that it's inconvenient if you can't make personal contact with your date. I wonder why we should wait so long before getting to meet? How does online dating protect the women or make them more or less important? I discussed this issue with two Chinese friends. They said Chinese women are cautious about online dating and most of them don't want others to know they're dating online because it may make people think they are "leftover" or sort of worn out. Could this be the reason for falsification of profiles? Just guessing though. Whatever, I hope the site can turn this obnoxious motive around.

Read the good reviews carefully and you will see either that they are short on detail or that they say that are enjoying "communicating with their lady." If you want to pay for the privilege of writing emails to someone you never meet while looking at a photograph, then you will enjoy the site. But if you want it to be more than that, you will spend money and it will come to nothing.

Stay clear I was hooked for a while with the same rhetoric I finally cottoned on, I just ignore now but the mail keeps coming same old letters total scam needs investigating a total fraud Terry J

ChnLove.com is the biggest scam on the planet. Just try to make personal contact with one of the ladies, you cannot. There are many superior options which are free, all ChnLove.com is on the internet for is to drain your wallet, they certainly hooked me and drained my wallet. Avoid at all costs.

If anything seems too good to be true then it probably is

It is a scam. When I sent my protests and reason why, I immediately stopped getting any admirer mail. I tried to use my Visa account, but they were worthless, and ended up paying these scammers. If you are serious, check out Cybercupid.com. It is very reasonable, $35.00 per month, or less for longer segments, and you pay nothing more. You use an automated translator, most of the women have realistic profiles, and the photos are usually sincere. Once you gain their confidence, they will talk outside the site, either on QQ which is a free Chinese site, or by personal email. You can do video chat for free on the site, or on QQ, so you can see the person you are talking to, and they can do the same. I've met several nice women, but if you are looking for someone with lots of money, their own business, and don't care what you look like, then don't go there. If you want a real person, who is sincere about a relationship, then check it out. The site also looks for scammers, and when they find them, they ban them, post their profile, and contact anyone who has been talking to them. They have a public forum to talk about concerns or questions, and the administrators are part of the discussion. It is definitely a site that is trying to help people, not rip them off.

I have used Chnlove for 4 years hoping the next lady will visit me and finally I will meet the lady I am writing to. Sadly that has not happened.
The current and last lady I will ever write to through Chnlove has not given me a date she will visit me after 12 months. As I have told her if she cannot find 1 week to spend with me out of 52 weeks in a year it does not give me confidence for the future. She has told me she is willing to pay for me to come to China to meet her but she refuses to send me her contact details by post and has told me twice to get her contasct details through Chnlove which is very expensive. I have told her that is expensive but she told me again to get her contact information through Chnlove. This makes her look very suspicious. I have seen many changes to Chnlove over the last 4 years and all changes favour Chnlove not their male clients.
So in conclusion after 4 years experience with Chnlove I think man things about Chnlove are suspicious Chnlove could be a scam and I recommend you try other websites such as Chinese Kisses or www.chinalovematch. I have been told by other men they are better and allow you to progress to communicating privately without constant dependence on the website. They also allow video chatting something Chnlove or AsiaDate does not allow. Video chatting allows you to conform the lady you are paying to communicate with is actually the lady in the profile photograpghs. Fot a expensive website you would think Chnlove would have a video chat service. But they possibly do not want you to see the lady you are paying to communicate. I have read a number of stories of Chnlove agency staff posing as women and communicating with men to create business for the agency.
I have read about men travelling to Chinas to meet the women they have been communicating with for several months only to discover the lady does not know the man.
I would not recommend Chnlove or Asia date from what other men have told me of their experiences and my 4 years experience of Chnlove.

Yes I have no doubt it absolutely is a scam

Chnlove is a total scam. Stay away from it and save your money. One day they will be put out business by the authorities in Hong Kong where their Head Office is.

Jon T. Actually made a point. Wrote in one of my reviews about a Xiongmei that is upper man/executive and actually don't think she is (she could actually find someone through any other system, fb, whichever, quicker and easier e decent man cause according to her she has a pretty succesfull company). The point I made in my review is that she kept on repeating herself as she couldn't understand a word of English although in her profile her English was "good" or someone else was actually running her own profile (up to EMF msn right now and even getting more every day and for quite a while I haven't been even bothered to open). Due to my job (Acemidcal Research) I don't earn truckolads of money and would be more than willing to relocate (in fact, since I'm Spanish, there are no jobs available and I'm relocating within the next couple of months or so most likely back to the UK) and would not have a problem to find a job back in China where Universities are recruiting highly trained researchers. Not only I think they pay a lot, but some of them get paid and earn an dditional income (at least for girls in Ukraine and Russia or U see in Colombia (as in Latamdates); I am a Latino that knows quite a lot about South American culture. The way I see it, mostly for mature successful woman on the site they can be INTIMIDATED by their own AGENTS (and I'm actually more into mature women). However, I cannot believe as Jon T. Said that an 18 years old girl (or up to 25) that is still a University student if she has to pay for the services of "such" a good online dating agency can actually meet the expenses (in fact, U'll see out of other reviews, how they reckon they actually get paid). Despite that fact, U actually get some msns that U can tell are for real cause although a decent English they have grammar mistakes; the kind U would expect in a traditional Chinese woman (and there are plenty of them living in my country) and U actually get authentic photos of their real lives. A minority of them actually skip the strict rules of the online dating site and are more than willing to provide U with a fb or a skype account (actually in Chinese). So as an advise to you, U can give it a shot but be extremely careful who you're contacting, as in make sure that after a few messages she is willing to share contact details and provide you with real photos, cause otherwise you'll get not only ripped off but extremely dissapointed. Right now I don't even bother because I was approached by two lovely young but still mature women (one from the States and one from the UK) through fb, keep in touch and probably when I relocate they'll pay me a visit and I can tell yah that those are for real because we have skyped each other and they're pretty succesful in their lives and careers (and cannot care less, and sorry to say this, about an American citizenship status (unlike most people from South America) out of getting married an American lady unless I have real feelings for her (we Spaniards are full EU members proud of our own heritage and culture and for us that is actually too low) and although things are pretty hard in Spain right now due to my dilated CV I could easily get a job in Academia with a Temporary VISA in the States for as lons as required. So U see fom my point of view, give it a shot but whith the ones that you can actually tell that are willing to share and avoid real scammers (and you'll find plenty of them). I hope it helps...

It is a scam in the sense that you pay every time you click your mouse. If you are loaded and ok with spending RIDICULOUS amounts of money for nothing then this is your site.

I had been in relationships on the site that lasted about 1 year and I ended them as they always made excuses not to meet. I have just entered a new relationship with a girl who is 26 years younger than me and after sending only 2 letters she attached her real life photo, she is a pretty girl but not like the profile photo. I think she is the first honest girl I have met here. I think we all know the photos are Photoshopped, how can a fifty year old woman have the skin of a young girl.

This site is NOT an Absolute scam. I know... I met and married a Chinese lady from this site... HOWEVER... These ladies are given all sorts of information to make them not trust us men, so they don't want to give out information for fear of THEM meeting a Scammer... THIS information is given to them by THEIR AGENTS YES, You speak to the ladies... but they are intimidated by the information given to them by their agencies... Also, I believe they are told they can be kicked off the site for violating the policy of giving information, and they pay a lot to be on the site. As far as some of them looking like models... Some of them ARE models... but they still wish to meet western men because the Chinese men treat them like second class citizens. But do... Always... get "natural" photos or "selfies" of them... they can really doctor up those professional photos... Kinda like how "Glamour photos" can make most ugly women look decent in America... Know what I mean?...
