I have spent longer than I would like reading about best chinese dating sites for foreigners and come away more confused.
Half the write-ups on this kind of service contradict the other half, which is not helpful.
Keen to hear how best chinese dating sites for foreigners has gone for people here.

What was said above about the sites in question is right, in my view.
Practical tip for the sites in question: keep chatting on-platform until you're comfortable.
If you are starting with the sites in question, give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
Not the last word on for foreigners by any means.
- Grindr — efficient, not romantic
- OkCupid — strong for anyone with specific criteria, on a phone browser anyway
- Plenty of Fish — unglamorous and still busy
- Coffee Meets Bagel — not for anyone in a hurry, as of this year
A friend of mine swears by Luvdate, though your mileage will depend entirely on your area.

Respectfully disagree on the options here — my experience with the options here ran the other way.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of the options here.

Careful with services like this, because moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
With services like this the thing that decided it for me was how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
Two people can have opposite experiences of services like this purely because of your age bracket relative to the local pool.
Half the arguments about services like this would end if people mentioned your age bracket relative to the local pool up front.
That said, I'd still hear other views on best chinese dating sites for foreigners.
- Happn — novel but thin in most places
- Hinge — prompts give you something to answer, over roughly six weeks
- OkCupid — strong for anyone with specific criteria
- Facebook Dating — quiet in some regions, your mileage may vary
- Coffee Meets Bagel — low volume, higher effort
Counterpoint: I found EZHookups (ezhookups.online) slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
Datenest has its supporters on this forum, though I am not one of them yet.

Half the arguments about these services would end if people mentioned how far you're willing to travel up front.
Two people can have opposite experiences of these services purely because of how dense your area is.
Worth flagging with these services — profiles that answer instantly and perfectly are usually not people.
Ask if you want detail on any part of for foreigners.

Tried the options on the table twice, years apart, and the second attempt went much better.
Worth flagging with the options on the table — screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
Everything about the options on the table hinged on how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt in the end.
If you are starting with the options on the table, turn off notifications so it does not take over your evening.
Still forming a view on for foreigners, so take it lightly.
Adding Datewander (datewander.site) for balance — quieter, but the people who are on it actually reply.
