Introducing Cupid Media’s LatinAmericanCupid
Let’s face it, it’s rough in the dating pool today. In Latin America, Tinder is okay if you just want something casual but what if you want more than a one-night stand? What if you want someone you can trust? We’re here to help with real dating website reviews written by real people. This time, we discuss LatinAmericanCupid.
LatinAmericanCupid.com is run by Cupid Media. CM, launched in 2000, is gender and country-based dating websites. LatinAmericanCupid.com specifically caters to mainly single straight Latinos, and other men seeking to meet single Latinas. In fact, it may surprise you to learn that roughly 40 percent of approximately 3 million members are not Latinos. The website is therefore available in eight different languages in nations across the globe. Smart move!
How It Works
It is very easy to sign up for Latin American Cupid. It is free and the directions are so easy to follow that even if you are new to the internet, you would still find it a straightforward and convenient process. It breaks down like this:
Setting Up Your Personal Profile
First, you create your personal profile. You know the routine. You enter your personal data, name, age, sex, personal appearance, cultural background, sexual orientation, lifestyle, smoker or non-smoker and so forth. You can even sign in with your Facebook account if you wish.
You also enter more detailed information such as the body measurements, language(s) you speak, hairstyle, eyewear, living situation, what you’re searching for in a potential partner, your hobbies, and so forth. Not all the fields are required but filling everything out increases both your exposure and the number of matches you will receive. Taking the extra time to fill everything out also helps the website cut down on scam artists too.
Once you are finished you are ready to browse the Latinas (Note: Keep in mind I’m a guy writing from my own perspective – Ladies, it works the same for you too!) You will be able to browse ladies all across Latin America. In fact, users with free memberships have access to just about every single feature on the site.
Free And Paid Memberships
LatinAmericanCupid (LAC) offers a number of paid and free features that will help you find the soon-to-be love of your life. A paid membership, however, will reportedly double your success rate on your adventures in online dating. Once the messages start coming into your e-mailbox though you will understand why you need a paid membership.
It’s highly likely that within a couple of days of opening your online account, you will probably be receiving messages. In order to respond to these messages or message anyone in whom you are interested, you will have to upgrade your account. Upgrading will involve a fee.
The website might run specials throughout the year so prices may vary. Nevertheless, as this goes to press here are your options. You can upgrade your membership for one month for $29.98.
Purchasing a 3-month upgrade will cost $19.99 per month. The best long-term membership upgrade would cost you between $9.24 and $12.50 per month.
One current member is often on the road so he purchased the latter offer. When in Canada, for example, he could set up meetings with women ahead of time. This was something he noted he could not do on Tinder.
Some Noteworthy Key Features
- Members are given the opportunity to create individualistic “personal video greetings that they can share with others on their personal profiles.
- The website includes an IM chat feature that members can use to break the ice.
- The messaging system is said to be easy and simple to use.
- The special “Cupid Tags” is a noteworthy feature that gives users the ability to select certain descriptors for themselves which are then used by the system to match them with similar thinking suitors.
Latin American Countries And Service
This website caters an international membership and offers detailed information regarding such travel-related topics as health, money, passports, time zones, and visas. A number of nations are served by this site. Some of the best countries to use Latin American Cupid are Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Peru.
There are additional countries the service is worth using although there may be fewer women of interest to some members. They are Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela. Additionally, some members say if you are a man with above-average looks using the site in Ecuador or Central America, that while there are fewer users located there you will have less competition.
Thus, you will have a better chance of getting dates. The bottom line here though is that you should browse your specific country prior to upgrading. Membership is reportedly increasing on a daily basis so by the time you read this the above-mentioned countries’ membership numbers may be different.
Online Security
LAC is perhaps the most secure Latin dating website. They employ a screening process that helps to ensure that all its members are actually real people who want to meet other singles. They have an identity verification process to minimize the number of scam artists so prevalent on online dating sites today. Other dating sites that offer some service to Latin America are reported to be laxer in their security measures.
LatinAmericanCupid Pros & Cons
First, let’s look at the “Pros”:
- You can join at no-cost.
- The online dating experience is ad-free.
- There are approximately 3 million member Latin singles in the database.
- Profiles are detailed and include extensive descriptions to aid in finding a potential match.
- They have one of the wider reaches globally of all the Hispanic-themed sites.
Now a look at the “Cons”:
- You cannot fully communicate with other website members without upgrading to a paid membership. (Actually, for some, that may be a “Pro” since it’s possible that it may help weed out spammers…)
- There are no related offline activities, message boards, forums or any additional features that actually encourage any communal interaction between LAC members.
- The LatinAmericanCupid online dating website is both multi-functional and user-friendly. The website’s free memberships offer more than some other websites even if one must upgrade to a membership to fully communicate with others. The interactive user base and generally quality profiles add to the overall success of this website.
So whether you want to meet some lovely Latinas from the comfort and privacy of your own home or you are traveling to someplace in Latin America, this is the online spot to feel the Latin heat.
