Great for lesbians; a large number of members; plenty of genuine users; free downloadable app; instant messaging functions.
Lots of men still use the site; some fake profiles.
Can be a little misleading
Due to the lengthy sign up process (more on that later in the review), there is a large number of genuine people serious about looking for love on PinkCupid. The site claims to have over 1,000,000 members on the system, most of whom are lesbians looking for friendship and romance.
However, there are a certain number of fake profiles and even men using the platform. PinkCupid really needs to do something about these issues, as it ruins the experience for a lot of female users who want to try online dating without male interference.
PinkCupid bucks the trend of dating sites making registration quick and simple.
This platform encourages you to be as detailed as possible straight away. They require email verification, as well as your personal details. You also cannot use the site unless you upload three photos and complete a lengthy questionnaire detailing your hobbies, interests, and what you are looking for in a partner. This is not good news for those who just want to get flirting and browse profiles straight away.
Still, if you prefer a thorough dating experience, this sign up process maybe be right up your street.
The PinkCupid dating site does a lot to ensure the safety of all members. They have a report and block function, which prevents unsavory users from viewing your profile and sending messages.
However, due to a large influx of men on the site, you have to question how extensive the verification process actually is – if men can come on the site as men, how many are pretending to be women and manipulating members. This is particularly concerning because you have to upload a valid photo ID to progress with your registration. If you want our opinion, this sounds like lax admin procedures.
More has to be done on this issue if PinkCupid truly wants to thrive.
Like most dating sites we review, PinkCupid offers a basic search to all users, both free and premium. This helps you find local people, but it pales in comparison to the advanced search feature. This part of PinkCupid gives you everything you need to find members based on ages, orientation, ethnicity, and romantic interests.
In short, PinkCupid makes it easy to find local girls in your area and does everything it can to ensure you match with partners who show the most potential.
The biggest positive we can give in our PinkCupid dating site review is the level of care put into the site’s messaging services. Not only can you send direct messages and join in the fun of the chat rooms, but you are also free to use the Instant Messaging feature as well. This makes conversations a lot more streamlined and accessible. There is also a built-in translator included for premium members, which allows you to chat and flirt with lesbians all over the world.
While PinkCupid is easy on the eye and fun to explore if you are a young lesbian serious about dating, there are a few drawbacks that stop it from reaching a higher level. The fact that men can easily register is a cause for concern, as is the growing number of fake profiles.
That being said, the admin team has done a good job cultivating a lesbian community and making this a relatively fun place to meet new people, but the fact that men can still register with ease gives us a good enough reason not to recommend this one.
PinkCupid is very well-priced for the number of features you get with the Gold and Platinum packages. In fact, it may be one of the best value-for-money LGBT dating sites.
