One of the perks of dating in Hong Kong is it being a melting pot of different cultures
Hong Kong Cupid Profile Quality
- Creates matches according to the information you have supplied such as hobbies, interests and answers to the personality questions
- You may view profiles on free account
- You can see who has viewed, favourited and expressed interest to you
- You can verify your account to increase authenticity
- The profiles are quite detailed
- The profile information can be changed later
- Profile pictures are visible to everyone for free
Once registered, you are taken to the page where you can upload your display photo which will be reviewed by the site within 12 hours after uploading. Since it is not mandatory, you may customise your profile according to your personality but don’t expect other members’ faithfulness in keeping their own profiles updated and completed.
The first thing you will have to fill out is the appearance section. You are asked to pick the option that best describes yourself physically (e.g. hair colour, eye colour, race, weight, etc). Secondly, you are asked about your lifestyle. Hong Kong can be quite an expensive city. Do take note that if you would go for the high society Chinese girls, you might need to have a comfortable and lavish lifestyle for that. Background and cultural values come next. Therefore, most members can speak in English. However, the site can still also provide Chinese and English translations.
To further spice up your profile, there are personality questions you can answer. By answering these questions, you can make your profile stand out and feel more real. After filling out these portions, it is now time to look for your match. You may browse profiles according to appearance, cultural values, cupid tags and personal information which optimises your search for compatibility.
Hong Kong Cupid App
- Intuitive
- Simple design
The mobile app of Hong Kong Cupid can be easily found on the App Store and Google Play. One quick download and installation later, you are now ready to browse for your potential partners on mobile. The design is consistent with the website, making use of the trademark blue colour. However, it does not necessarily exude dating app vibes. On the home page, you can scroll through various profiles. You can also customise your search with lifestyle, appearance and cultural values as filters. You can update your profile with it, too. You can basically do what you can on the website in the app. It serves as a convenient complement to the site.
Hong Kong Cupid Real Life Review
«I am not really into online dating sites myself. I am too afraid of being judged or seen as desperate. I wouldn’t be on here if it weren’t for my sister. She made me an account and I said, hey, why not give this a go? For me, this site is just okay. Nothing to write home about. And frankly, if you are not on the premium account, there is really not much to do.» — Irene (29)
Design and Usability
The overall design is not that special. It is direct to the point with no flair for romance. It uses a standard blue colour that has a more business-like feel to it. To be perfectly honest, Hong Kong Cupid looks more like a business website rather than the leading online dating platform for Asian dating in Hong Kong. The mobile app is consistent with the blue design the website has. Only the use of an Asian woman’s picture as its icon serves as the indication that this is a dating app. Despite all that, both the website and the app’s simplistic designs gave way for its good usability. It is intuitive, easy to navigate and uncomplicated. It does not look intimidating to use at all for both the non-tech savvy and the tech savvy alike.
