Online dating in SE Asia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I would go for that girl with the [black] dark eyes
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I used ThaiLoveLinks and it was good. Met a few good women thought it. It depends what a person is after. If it's free sex, then I wouldn't recommend it. But for getting to know someone, their life, meeting their friends, and seeing the non tourist side of their city, then it's good. Sex is part of it, but some just became friends and I didn't try for it.

Here is a heartbreaking example of a filipina dating profile on one dating website, except this one is pregnant while many others have a kid or two already, but still only age 19 or 20. This girl is 18.

Though, it all really depends on what each person is looking for.
That sounds like okcupid ;)

I have found that many philipinos were scammers, asking for money, plane tickets etc.
Asking for their email and more pictures and suddenly, no more answers.
The Vietnamese seem much more conservative, as a previous poster says, and more educated, better off, and stay more within their age group.
The Thais are all over the page.
My friend uses the thai sites, he is 60, average looking guy,and has them lined up. Unreal.
Some are very nice young lady's from high end thai family's .Most are quite average ladies but seem to gravitate to retired foreign men.
My gal works in a bar restaurant in Thailand, very nice lady, and just met another that manages, high end hotels across Thailand. Only used the sites a few times.
Mt current gal checks the sites to see if I am active on them. She ain't stupid.
But with so many choices its hard to resist. I am not ready to settle down yet. :evil:

For me, there is one thing that kills a relationship at the beginning, and that is when the girl starts asking for stupid amounts of money and giving a even more stupid reason as to why she needs it.

OK , just bumping this, cause I recently signed on to a FilipinoCupid.com site for curiosity and am now getting dozens of messages everyday from girls who want to meet a 71 year old ,,,, because of my good looks.
