Free Dating in China

20 city guides for China. The guides set out when people are online, how far to search, and what to say first.

Free dating across China

I compared several at once a while back, so this is not theoretical. The thing nobody mentions is that how quickly the upsell appears separates the usable options from the rest.

Getting more out of your profile in China

I trialled the free tiers only here, which made the differences much easier to see. For me, how support responds to a real problem decides most of the outcome.

The handful of things that made a real difference:

Check whether browsing costs anything — genuinely worth knowing up front.
Ask how easily you can change your location — this is the one I would check first.
Find out how much of your social graph it wants — check it on a real account, not a demo.
Look at how reply rate compares with match rate — surprisingly hard to find out in advance.

Before you meet someone

I tested a handful of these back to back before deciding, rather than just skimming a couple of apps. Once you look closely, whether search exists alongside swiping sets the ceiling on what you can achieve. That difference held up consistently enough to trust even after I changed my photos.
