Thaicupid Review

How does it work?

Thaicupid, formerly known as Thai love links, is a part of Cupid Media Network. The company is registered in Australia, and the director of the company is Mr. Andrew Bolton. The website has been around since the year 2002. The site is owned by Cupid Media PTY, a niche online dating network.

There are three steps to using the site. You first have to register. Browse the profiles and the photos, contact members, and enjoy dating.

There are over 3 million women and over one thousand documented success stories from real members who found love on this website. The site has verified success stories of thousands of members who have found love through it.

Sign-Up & Login Process

From the homepage, click on “View Singles Now.” You will be taken to a form where you fill in your first name. Click on the gender buttons differentiated in color and image. A male can only be interested in a female and vice versa since this is automatically set. Fill in your e-mail address and password. Click on “View Singles Now.”

You may also join with Facebook. Signing in with Facebook allows Thaicupid to access information already available on Facebook hence faster registration. You can either upload a photo from Facebook or your device, say computer. If you change your mind, you may cancel.

By signing in, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy statement. Unlike many dating websites, Thaicupid will not send you an e-mail on your provided e-mail to view the site.

Profile Interface

The site has very comprehensive profiles requiring you to provide a lot of personal information. Anyone, including standard members, can view profiles without paying.

Once signed in, members add more information to the profile. You will add information including profile heading, a little bit about yourself, and details of the partner of interest. When your profile is complete, you will attract more attention, appear in more search results, and find more matches. The profile at a glance has a photo, name, location, and the specifications of the partner you are seeking.

The profile tab has seven components—your basics, appearance, lifestyle, background, and culture.

The in-depth profile is presented in seven tabs. The first tab accommodates the photo. You should upload a photo where you are smiling, alone, showing the face and should be recent. The quality should be high and should not contain nudity.

The description of your match is in five sub-categories, starting from the necessary details of gender, age, country, and how far they are from you. It also includes their appearance, height, weight, ethnicity, appearance, and hair color.

Five or more cupid tags will help you search the tags that describe personality traits, physical characteristics, hobbies, and interests.

Verify the profile using your passport, driver’s license, or National ID card. You will need to upload the scanned color copy or photo of identification. You will get a verification badge. The badge helps in improving member safety, get more singles, and rank higher in search results.

Matches/Communication

Depending on the information you have on your profile, you will get several matches. Your profile determines the kind of profiles displayed on the matches. Cupid tags will also be useful in determining the matches. You can show interest and message or even view photos of people you like.

You can send and read messages if you are a paid-up member. You can also filter messages and only read the ones that interest you.
