Verdict
User Profiles
Ugh, MalaysianCupid. I’m not sure if it’s the online dating equivalent of a dumpster fire or just plain ol’ bad luck but this site has been an absolute nightmare for me. The user profiles are public so anyone can view them which is nice and all but that also means you have to be extra careful with what information you put out there – no one wants their personal info getting into the wrong hands! Plus, setting up a custom bio isn’t even possible on here so your only option is to fill in some basic details about yourself like age and location.
Speaking of location…the amount of detail given about where someone lives was actually quite surprising – way too much in my opinion! You get everything from exact street addresses down to GPS coordinates; let’s just say that any potential stalker wouldn’t have any trouble finding out exactly where someone lives on this website (yikes!). There’s also no indication whatsoever as far as distance between users goes either – meaning if two people live halfway across the world from each other they could still end up matched together without knowing until after they’ve already started talking…not ideal at all!
On top of that, premium subscription benefits aren’t really anything special either – mainly access to more advanced search filters plus additional messaging options such as being able to send messages directly through email instead of having them go through MalaysianCupid first (which honestly doesn’t seem worth it). And don’t even get me started on how many fake profiles I encountered while testing out this site…it felt like every time I clicked onto another profile half were bots trying desperately hard sell something totally unrelated or worse yet asking for money outrightly- ugh gross!! Overall though? Avoid MalaysianCupid at all costs unless you want your private info exposed and potentially scammed by some shady characters lurking around these parts.
