I had no luck on Pinalove
February 24, 2025

If you're expecting a genuine dating experience, you might be in for a disappointment.

You may want to try hotmilfdates.com instead - they were really helpful and I finally met the girl I was looking for.

The Main Issues:
Flooded with Fake Profiles – Many of the accounts seem automated or managed by the site itself. It's suspicious how messages pour in when your subscription lapses, only to dry up completely once you renew. Beyond that, most real interactions come from scammers or sex workers. If anyone actually ends up in a relationship with someone attractive from here, chances are they're marrying someone with a past in the industry.

Limited Features – A site like this should at least offer solid search tools, but instead, you get only the most basic filters. There's no way to save searches or refine results properly, making it easy to miss people who might actually match what you're looking for.

Lack of Filtering Options – The blocking and filtering tools are inadequate, so you're left constantly sifting through people whose preferences or intentions don't align with yours.

Final Thoughts
This site functions more as overpriced entertainment than a serious dating platform. If you want to make better use of your time, try hotmilfdates.com instead - I met a girl within a few weeks there.

One of the worst options
February 4, 2025

They have very few beautiful girls and even fewer of them are real. They balk at exchanging contact details and leaving the site. All they want to do is correspond on PinaLove. Things are better on J7Match.com
I met five women from there. I have had enough of poor experience with different phony Asian sites, like PinaLove, so I won't mess with success anymore. Things are very bad on PinaLove. Womenn don't want to meet for real. It is definitely one of the worst options you can choose in dating.

Accounts suspended for no reason! But they will continue to charge your Credit/Debit Card! You Can not verify account because it is a Smart Phone ONLY verification system. Support NEVER REPLIES! And then there are the SCAMMERS, more Scammers than real people on the site! Scammers are never DELETED, they are just allowed to continue scamming people! Since my account got wrongfully suspended, I have reported Pinalove.com to the Federal Fair Trade Commission, and U.S. Federal Law Enforcement for Credit Card FRAUD! Everyone else should do the same and get the site shut down

It just doesn't work
January 8, 2022

Browsing thru the site, I will get a pop-up that says a girl sent me a message or clicked on "like" my profile. But when I check messages or check my like que, the girl is not there. It happened so often, I checked all settings and profile configuration. Come to find out, the lady profiles were moved to my "blocked" que. I unblocked them but they went right back to blocked. I checked the name at the top of the list one day so I could see how many new ones were blocked — about 3 dozen! Many of whom liked my profile or sent msg. Really bad. What's the point of using a site like this?

Money. Money. Money.
April 10, 2024

This is a third world Country. Everyone is impoverished by the corrupt government. Most ladies are young and look for cam sex tin order to survive. It's impossible to keep up with their demands for money to top up their phone data or to buy rice. With this app you're guaranteed frustration. If you're lucky one out of two hundred will be honest. Anyways, the odds are stacked against you.

Proof of fake Verification and Premium
December 21, 2023
Updated review

So usually for dating sites, verified pic would have AT LEAST the face of the person. But look at this, not even face, it's just a shot of their torso AND it's verified.

On top of that, premium is a label for PC site, if you are on mobile, premium is basically "popular". This is basically a "female" only account privilege that works like premium, but obtainable for free. As long as the user reached certain amount of interaction, they will get the premium/popular status, but when they're not getting any, they will lose it.

Men? Yeah please buy premium so you can message more often (not once every 10 mins) and not getting gated by the women's premium/popular status (yes, you can get locked from messaging a person if they get the popular/premium status, even if you're able to message them before).

Sexism much?
December 13, 2023
Previous review

To start off, I'm surprised that despite the site being famous for "looking for Filipina date", it has no reviews. A friend (woman) told me to try this out because she believed this place has more "real" people, so I did. But it was a complete money grabbing scheme and sexist, and here are the easiest "turn offs" you'll experience within 5 minutes of getting online there:

1. Premium members can only be messaged by other premium members, which means if you're not premium, you can't really message some of the people who are marked as "popular" by the site. This is NOT about verified photos or not, but more to your account status.

2. As free user, you are limited to sending ONE message every 10 minutes. Definitely a turn off when you want a conversation going.

3. I asked my friend who suggested me the site regarding point no 2, she laughed it off because when she made her account to try out stuffs, she did NOT get limited to one message every 10 minutes, which means a "girl" account does not get time gated to send messages, even if the account is NOT premium or verified. So from there it was very obvious that this site is just baiting men to pay to talk.

Just look at the premium pricing, despite the target community are mainly Filipino residents, their pricing are set on USD. And one month is twice more expensive than one year? This site just seems like, they want your 10 dollars and not caring about anything else.

End word, I think the site does not offer anything special, it's just baiting innocent, guilty Filipinas to get foreigners to pay for the premium.

Edit: it's funny because when I'm checking profiles, there are alot of Filipinas who just registered already got premium. Did they really pay for it? Definitely not because 10 USD is alot for them in general. Seems that the site just gives the women (especially good looking ones with rather revealing photos) free premium to bait men to spend. Classic move

Pinalove is par for the sites at this level.
Money better spent would be just walking around the local shopping centre and fantasizing that attractive people you see want to date you.

1. Filled with fake accounts, some of them operated by the site itself.
You'll get a bunch of chats from them as soon as your subscription expires. Once you renew, it's dead quiet, as long as you ignore the obvious freelance scammers and prostitutes.
(My bet is the few guys who actually marry physically attractive women from sites like this are more often than not marrying retired prostitutes.)

2. Naturally, a site full of fakes doesn't need or have an advanced search or a way to save searches. Has only rudimentary search parameters, which make it even less likely you will notice the person that fits you.

3. Too few options to block those with incompatible preferences.

Don't expect anything more than relatively expensive fantasy entertainment from this site.

Every pretty girl is a criminal using different names. Photos and PayPal accounts.
Meet girl at Pina then on the Skype and onto you paying girl for mostly service that will never come.
I am out $6000 usd due to scammers.
Plus I paid private detective $2000 to help me expose the 3 fraud criminals.
Believe me there are many more.
Only honest girls are single Moms with big problems.
I have all relevant data on the 3 female Romance scams criminals.
Each has been reported by other foreign men and are known criminals.
Thai friendly owns Pina love.
I paid for one month at $24.95 via 2checkout.com.
I did cancel my membership.

Customer support is stone stupid and incompetent. They charged me twice on Apple Pay within 3 days of each other. I try to tell them about it through email and they beat around the bush asking for bill from Apple which I sent many times and they claim they never got the attachment, than when they finally do see it they say you only sent one bill but which they know about both charges by now because the first one was in their system and they even told me about the first charge. So I show them the second billing error. They are so dumb and can't be dealt with. They are either Chinese or Filipino idiots who can't tell left from right. I called my bank and filed a dispute for unauthorized billing. They automatically put Apple Pay on auto-renew

I, as a female, have to say it is a scam, making me a premium member for males which is a lie since i never paid for this membership only to animate the guys going for payment to send me message.i did try it out with a good friend to see it shows on his side premium and cant talk to me.it is money making and sure not legal at all! Si to any guys, be aware to pay some since after a while the girl isnt a premium anymore, funny isnt it? Ah and in the effect i send guys mails telling them what is happen and then they deleted my account directly
