RomanceMingle.com review

RomanceMingle.com is an online dating platform for Western men, who are interested in dating Chinese women. Registration is free, and the landing page shows many user profiles, with heavily photoshopped pictures of Asian women. Many of the photographs look distorted. The website does not give a professional first impression. It is managed by Hongkong Jihongyun Trade Development Co LTD, a company based in Hong Kong. This operator controls a network of similar multilingual online dating sites. Unfortunately, we found user reviews which shared negative experiences with this company. As usual, we read the Terms and Conditions carefully for this review.

These were hardly intelligible, probably due to translation issues. The legal disclaimer contradicts itself. It is stated that there are no recurring payments. However, further down, we read that any special offers must be canceled before the trial period is over, if you do not want a renewal. Users can join for free, but pay in “diamonds”, a virtual token, which must be pre-purchased. These are used to send messages or watch videos or read e-mails. We find the platform confusing, suspicious, and extremely expensive. It is most likely a rip-off.

RomanceMingle.com is an online dating portal for Western men who are looking for a Chinese girlfriend. The landing page looks cheap. The alleged female members are all extremely attractive, although heavily photoshopped. For our research, we examined the Terms and Conditions and created a very simple free profile. The legal disclaimer does not warn about the existence of fake profiles, but the truth is that the text is difficult to understand at all and contains several contradictions. The website is managed by Hongkong Jihongyun Trade Development Co LTD, from Hong Kong.

Real or fake profiles

The bios in the member’s area are pretty much empty, leaving the photos as the only relevant content there. The reviews we could read online warned that the members will pretend to love you, but you will never get to meet them in real life. We were not bombarded with messages the moment we signed in. Therefore, we suspect this chat is full of fake chat operators, likely employed by the company. So, the chat is not computer-generated.

We could not find definite proof, but it is suspicious that all members look extremely attractive. There is no guarantee of the picture corresponding to the person replying to your messages, though. Judging from the online user experiences that we read, this is a scam that aims towards keeping you hooked on a useless chat. Sadly, it will never materialize into a real date. By the time you realize this is a rip-off, you will have spent an outrageous amount of money.

Extremely expensive chat

To send or watch videos, or even send an email, the user must buy so-called diamonds. These are virtual tokens which are bought in bundles, as a means of payment. Sending or playing a video costs 6 USD, so even if you decided to risk it, even if the profiles were real, you would pay an exorbitant amount of money to get to that point.

In the payments section, we discovered that it is forbidden to exchange personal contact information. This is supposedly to protect the security of the members. However, this means that all interactions with these fake chat operators must happen through this dodgy platform. This makes it a very lucrative business for the company. Either way, it is highly unlikely that this will ever result in a real date, let alone a relationship.

RomanceMingle.com is an online dating platform which seems to target Western men who are looking for a Chinese girlfriend. The Terms and Conditions do not reveal the existence of a fake chat, but the profiles of the women in the members’ area, seem to be controlled by fake chat operators. Interacting with these members is incredibly expensive. We are also not sure if there is a recurring cost or not. Moreover, and judging from previous user experiences, you will soon find out that this scam can never materialize into a date in real life.
