Many people feel that there's a certain Asian allure, which is hard to beat. Nevertheless, it might be difficult to meet someone of Asian descent locally depending on where you live. Perhaps, even if you did, a person might have assimilated so much to local customs that some of the appeal of originating from a different, more traditional culture might be lost.
Japan Cupid definitely can fill that breach, as it lets you reach across the globe to meet someone who is still in the Land of the Rising Sun.
In fact, you'll soon discover, as you fill out a free profile that localized searches are not even on the horizon. You do have to provide information regarding your physical appearance, educational level, occupation and language skills, but since you do not give a postal, or zip code, only country, region and in some instances a city, it is clear that search options are hardly precise. Indeed, it seems you can only narrow your results down to the city-level at best.
"There's definitely a sense that many of its users are marriage-minded folks who are quite serious in their endeavors to meet someone special."
It makes no difference whether you upgrade your JapanCupid membership to a paid subscription, as the advanced search options only seem to expand criteria to include other incidentals such as height, weight and religion into your searches. Once you pay, you will be able at least to communicate with all levels of members. It is free to reply to emails, or instant messages for everyone. Only paid subscribers can participate in the group chat rooms though.
As further enticement to spend a bit extra on JapanCupid.com, they offer, for those who opt for the more expensive of two membership options, built-in translation software for your Inbox. Previously, there was an online demo of this feature, but I couldn't find it after they recently redesigned their upgrade page. Nevertheless, I can tell you that from what I've seen before, the translation software provides translated texts, which at times suffer from automatic translating that's a bit too direct. There are separate websites that will do a similar job of translating for free, so I'm not sure it's worth paying extra for this built-in option.
Most important to your success on any dating site is the number of visitors that a site attracts. You'll be pleased to find that although this site isn't tops at attracting people to its pages, it does succeed at maintaining a decent amount of traffic to its pages. There's definitely a sense that many of its users are marriage-minded folks who are quite serious in their endeavors to meet someone special. Japan Cupid might just be your best chance to meet your Japanese soul mate for life.
