The online dating portal InternationalCupid.com is a mix between a normal dating website and a matchmaker. Here, people are mostly looking for a serious commitment, but normal dates can happen here from time to time. The operator of the website is Cupid Media Pty Limited which is well-known for a huge network of niche dating sites. It is the same company that runs Muslima, AfroRomance, and FilipinoCupid, which are all well-established and reputable alternatives for online dating. InternationalCupid.com is created to provide a dating platform where you can find a partner from a foreign country. The operator of the website is based in in the Gold Coast, Australia.

General information about InternationalCupid.com

InternationalCupid.com is one of a kind. This online dating website is internationally available. Now, here in Australia, the number of members is rising fast. But, the focus of the portal is not on this region. That is not a problem at all, as there is no particular focus on a certain region in general. InternationalCupid.com is, as the name explains, very international. The dating site is excellent for international dating. So, if you are interested in meeting new people from all over the world, this site is your number one choice.

InternationalCupid.com is a great alternative for all singles who are looking for a serious commitment. But, as this is a special kind of a matchmaker and mixed with a normal single dating website, casual things happen here as well. The focus of most members is long-term relationships. The members of this website are diverse, friendly, and welcoming. That means you can find new friends or your new partner here.

This matchmaker wants to make online dating easy. Even though the focus of its users are serious commitments, things are simple here. On other matchmaker dating sites, you must do an extensive personality test during registration. Here, the registration is done in just a few seconds.

The registration on InternationalCupid.com

The registration on InternationalCupid.com is very simple and free for all genders. It might be the fastest and easiest registration that we have ever seen on any of our test winning sites. The whole process takes only a few seconds. A verification of your e-mail-address is not needed. You will do the verification later, but not via your e-mail-address.

Other details required for registration on this website are your first name and a password. You must also agree to the privacy policy and the terms and conditions. You have the option to register with your Facebook account as well. Both options only take a few seconds. If you click on register, you will be directed to the members´ pool of InternationalCupid.com right away. After the registration is completed, you will receive a basic-membership which is free as well. Costs occur later for a premium-membership. You have the choice between gold or platinum memberships.

Add more information to your profile

That appears to be rather simple for a matchmaker. However, you will be asked to enter more details about yourself later in the profile settings. Then the smart algorithm of the matchmaking system works solidly.

As mentioned before, registration is simple and fast. During that process further personal verification is not needed. You might start to think that there are many fake profiles to be found. Luckily, the operator works continuously against that and has smart solutions to protect users against fakes. You will verify more personal details later, by uploading an ID or while purchasing a premium-membership. In this way, fake profiles will be avoided. Furthermore, if you have the feeling that a profile is fake or inactive, you can contact the customer support. They will then check the profile for its validity. If you get spammed by another member of the site for some reason, you can either block this person, or contact the customer support. Both solutions work fast and are done easily.

Create your individual profile

The registration on InternationalCupid.com is fast and easy. After that is done, you can check out the different sections of the platform. Also, you can add much more detail to your profile. We, as well as the operator of the site, recommend that you do that as soon as possible. Especially, the upload of an image of you should be done quickly. One strategy used by the operator to work against fake profiles is to block new profiles that do not upload at least one profile picture.

If that happens to you, you will see a notification that your profile is blocked. That message will also show you the reason for it. That can be quite annoying. But the upload of an image has got some advantages, so it is good to do it quickly.

You can upload up to 10 pictures of yourself. We recommend that you upload at least one image that shows your face only. Plus, another picture that shows your full appearance. Then other members of the site can get a better impression about your look. Also, make sure that the pictures are not blurry or cut. There are some advantages if the images show your personality. That works easily by uploading pictures which display your hobbies and lifestyle as well.

Additionally, you will find plenty of options to describe your personality, lifestyle and interests. In your profile settings you will find many multiple-choice questions that you can answer. It is all about you. We recommend you take your time, and to answer all questions honestly. Based on your answers, the matchmaker system will show your matches. This way you will also be found by other members. But, if you do not provide any information about yourself, not even the best matchmaker in the world could find you. Here you will find some free space to describe your personality in your own words. This combination allows you to create an individual profile which makes you look special. Because of the high number of members, you should use this opportunity.

Design and handling

The appearance of the matchmaker InternationalCupid.com is modern and appealing. It is nothing special, but the simple design gives a good overview. On top the homepage, you will see different sections. There you can find your matches or your messages. In general, the online dating portal does not have a lot of sections. But it has all you need to find your match and to have a good time using the website.

The interface is designed in white, black and a red colour. White is used for the background, black for the characters. An appealing red colour is used for the menu on top. There you find the sections and features of the website. Besides that, some special sections of the site are marked in a green colour. For example, if you have a basic-membership and want to get a premium-membership, you will see a green button on the top right of the page.

This online dating platform has a simple and clear design. All the features and functions are self-explanatory and simple to use. It will only take only a few minutes before you know all sections of the website. So, you will have no problem finding your way around.

The app for your mobile phone

The online dating website InternationalCupid.com offers an app for Android devices. Users of an iOS phone will have to use the mobile browser. Members with an Android device can enjoy all the features on the app which are provided on the desktop version. It can be downloaded for free from the app-store. Also, it is possible to do the registration via the phone as well.

Usually, we do not recommend using a phone for registration on a matchmaker. But, as this dating site has got the easiest registration we have seen, it is not a problem at all. Both the app and the mobile version offer a good overview. Even on a small screen, you can use the site without any problems. Plus, it is a great travel-partner.

The app for this dating website is great for people who move around. It is especially good on this site thanks to its international members´ pool. It can be a lot of fun.

The members´ structure

InternationalCupid.com advertises with many registered members. Here, you will find more than four million singles who are located all over the world. Normally, we would say that this global connection does not make any sense. Other dating sites want to connect people from the region you are in. Here, it is a bit different. People join this site especially, to find a match from a foreign country.

Over the past 15 years, this site has gained many more members. Now it has a huge pool of members, with people from six different continents. The operator also runs other dating websites which are linked to this main page. For example, InternationalCupid.com is available for Muslim or Christian dating. Here, in Australia, the number of members is rising fast. Every day, the portal counts many thousands of new members.

This online dating matchmaker has a balanced gender ratio which offers good chances to meet people. Female users will not be spammed here. Plus, male users do not get bored. Official information about the number of members in Australia is not provided. The operator does not note the gender ratio anywhere. So, we did some research on the internet to find out more. On the web, we read about good chances for both genders and all sexual orientations on this site. Most of the users are between 25-54 years of age.

Here, people from Asia, the USA, Africa, Europe, and Australia are registered. As noted before, the users are looking for fun but not casual dates specifically. It is an open-minded community of people who are looking for a serious commitment. People chat on a high level as they have high expectations.

The search filter will find matches for you

You will have two different options to find your match. You can check the members´ pool by yourself. That is also a special thing on this matchmaker. On other matchmakers, the members´ pool is pre-filtered already. Based on the answers on your personality test, you will see only profiles that are potential matches for you. Here, on InternationalCupid.com the members´ pool is not pre-filtered. So, you have the chance to find a match all by yourself.

As many users upload a profile picture and add many details to their profile, it is a lot of fun to check the members individually. But, if you do not want to fool around and want to find a match right now, you can use the accurate search filter.

The search filter offers many different categories to find your matches. For example, you can filter for age, region and look. Also, you can filter what you want to find. On InternationalCupid.com you can find new friends or the love of your life. So, you can search for singles who want to meet a new person for a serious commitment.

Find your match and get in touch

The online dating website InternationalCupid.com has an open-minded and very welcoming community. If you find a match that interests you, just send a personal message. That is not only the easiest and fastest way to make the first contact it is also the most promising. One great thing about the matchmaker is that you can contact other users even with a basic-membership. With a free membership you can write to other members who have purchased a paid membership. In the members´ pool you can also see who has got a premium-membership.

Besides the personal message, you can like a profile and send a heart. This way, you can make the first contact without any written word. If you get a like or a heart as a reply, you know that the other person likes you as well. Then you can start a chat and see what comes next.

As the dating website offers the chance to send unlimited messages, the risk of spam exists of course. If you get spammed by another user just block them by yourself or contact the customer support to do that.

The translator tool of InternationalCupid.com

International dating is a common thing, especially on this special matchmaker. However, it might happen that you want to chat with another user of the site, but the communication turns out to be harder than expected. That is not a big issue here. InternationalCupid.com offers a professional translator tool for its users. You can either purchase it at an extra cost or pay for a platinum-membership, then it is included in your subscription.

The costs on InternationalCupid.com

The registration on InternationalCupid.com is free for all genders. Costs will occur for a subscription for a paid membership. If you want to meet new people or the love of your life, we recommend you register here, anyway. The reason is that the free basic-membership comes with the chance to meet interesting people in no time. You can chat for free with other members who own a premium-membership. They can contact you or you them, so it works in both ways. That is why we recommend that you create a profile here on this dating site, even if you do not know what you are looking for. The chance to find something special by accident is good here. Also, the free basic-membership is unlimited until you request the termination of your profile by the customer support.

A free basic-membership makes it possible to send likes, use the basic-search filters, and communicate with users who hold a gold or platinum-membership.

The gold-membership allows all features of the basic-membership.
