If you're talking about real person, of course they are real. None of them are dolls... LOL. But if you're asking if they have genuine feeling, then you need to stay a bit long in the site and look very carefully on their pictures.
Those are women dressed purposefully to attract men. You will notice that women from the same area wear the same dresses. Posing the same style.
You'll also notice that they always come online at the same specific time and for the same duration.
I've been in many dating and matrimonial sites. None of them are using the same systematic method in draining their male members credit card accounts like asiandate.
Those women work for the site or at least they benefit financially being a bait for men.

Check for yourself:

1375941 (Keyu) - 1378882 (Liu) - 1379518 (Hui) - 1378070 (Xue Hong)
1214079 (Xi) - 1218197 (Ying) - 1210525 (Jiajia) - 1213225 (Wenfang)

The list still gies on of you are careful enough to check.

Good luck.

Its like saying winning a lottery is real too! It's ALL a fraud! A vast majority are NOT real. Photos are photoshopped. Those who write letters are not the real profiled ladies. THIS IS A SCAM!

There is also another website which is a paysite, but which permits you to send 1 message every 10 minutes for free. http://www.thaifriendly.com So if you stick to 10 minute messages it free.

Best advice... go to Date in Asia it's free and I met a lovely Fillipino. Lots of very nice women there. Asian Date is a bunch of idiot guys stealing bank accounts... nothing but trash

I believe some of them are real. Hard to say about them all. The management is something else. One promised you one thing. You pay money and the rules change with other people. I suggest you stay away or spend money at a high risk. Fdating.com is free and a lot of Asian ladies. No management interference unless you do something very immoral.
Good luck.
