International Cupid - Foreign Bride & Online Dating Review
First Look:
International Cupid
is one of the many online
dating sites out there that targets those of you looking for lovely
foreign women seeking marriage. Here’s what you can expect from My
Foreign Bride:
Pros
- Russian women! Ukrainian women! Asian women! Latin Girls! Gorgeous ladies from all over the world looking for a loving husband-to-be
- English/French/German translation to help minimize language barriers
- Detailed but fairly standard profiles
- Decent matchmaking opportunities with a free membership
Cons
- Translation service is automatic and sketchy, but you can usually get the drift; also the languages available for translation are limited compared to the countries represented by the website’s members
- Not just a mail order bride website – good if you’re interested in online dating, bad if you just want to get down to business
- Fewer services for people looking specifically for foreign brides – no matchmaking tours or introduction services like some other “full-service” international marriage sites.
- They list over 258,000 members but it's hard to tell how many of those members are men and how many women there are to choose from.
How it Works
The beauty of International Cupid is in its simplicity. Just click on Join For Free and then start filling in your details. You also get to fill in a lot of specific information about your perfect mail order bride, such as her ethnicity, whether she’d be willing to relocate, and more.
Once you’re in, you can
search, add ladies to your “Interest” list, and get in touch with the ones who
pique your curiosity. There are lots of enticing personals to peruse! In
addition, you can find out who’s interested in you and check out your exact
matches to narrow down the search.
If the woman you fall for happens to speak English, French, or German, you’ll also enjoy the site’s translation service of all messages to and from your crush. However, if she speaks another language, like Ukrainian or Mandarin, the site can’t help you. Fortunately, most foreign brides have at least passable English.
Prices
- For free, you can send and receive messages to and from paying subscribers, which is fine as long as your beautiful bride-to-be is a paying member!
- Best to upgrade –memberships run between $8 - $30 per month, depending on how long you sign up for and which one you choose.
Advice
As an upgraded member, you can chat, send and receive video
messages, and connect with non-paying and paid members alike.
You can also take advantage of much more customizable search
options. An upgraded membership has the added bonus of being
permitted to include personal information – that means that you
can contact your matches outside of the site to get the next
steps (do I hear wedding bells?) underway.
Final Thoughts
Women from all over the world are waiting to become your bride, and you can find them at International Cupid. You’ll get to sift through a healthy collection of gorgeous women who are looking for long-term love. While International Cupid may not be the best site in terms of specialized international marriage services, it’s definitely a great place to get your feet wet.
