Here i attach my last complaint to them, so you can understand that Nobody in their school plays with the moderators of that site, and the girls didn't liked them, that's why now they take their revenge.
Until now that i write these lines, i have make 7 accounts to their site, and they are all deleted in minutes or in seconds. Even from another computer with different IP. There is also the "brother site" same interface as dateinasia, the oyoy.com but it is almost the 90% full of scammers and all the others are just very ugly faces. They do not delete your account... today. But they do it after 1-2 days. There are some good sites but needs to pay. Yes ok, to pay, but most of them, they have not any tool to deactivate our account. And if they have, you must to make agreement with the God to find it. (hidden letters)
So, better don't spend your time to this site. I did it because i had found someone and our communication goes well. So, when they saw it, they want to bully me and they delete me everytime that i click on that person or when i try to comment.

... if you do anything that the algorithm picks up and doesn't like... and it is completely arbitrary... then you will be wbanned.
Once banned, you will have no recoarse to get your account reinstated... if a group of scammers feel like you are a threat... they can report you and get you banned... once again... you never get a chance to tell your side of the story... in Zamboanga, many groups of 5 to 10 people are working the site 24/7 asking for money... and DIA knows this... you get banned... they don't
Better go to another site...

DIA is full of scammers . I am a young, handsome , fairly wealthy man , yet those same fake women rarely reply and usually disappear within a few days of signing up . Of the lousy handful of Asian women posted in USA most are bullsh!tters actually living in Philippines supporting their pimp boyfriends with your sucker money . Asian women in USA are rude as hell anyways . Why would you want those ?! As soon as they get here to western nations they learn quick the feminist upper hand in western dating scene so its playgirl playland for them both online and offline . Total game changer if you are a western man living in Asia though you will do well on this site , yet you would not need it to begin with . Expats who live there know this well . I would give it a 5 only if you are actually dating within Asia. haha

I opened an account to meet Thai women, and it was permanently closed after I left my first message which included the English spelling of a common and polite Thai word. The Thai Word is an honorific meaning "brother "but resembles the English word "pee". Because this site is apparently run entirely by software algorithms, and not real human beings, there is no recourse. No one will reply to your request for assistance, and their computer algorithms operate without logic or human intervention. I later created a second profile which took two days to be approved, and by that time ladies I had previously communicated with had given up on me, and concluded I was a scammer. After initiating contact with a couple more ladies, I made a slight edit to my profile. That caused my profile to be suspended pending review. Three days later, I am still waiting for my slightly revised profile to be reviewed and approved. I can only imagine that the new ladies I communicated with have given up on me also.

This is a stupid site not worth your time. It's sole value is that it is free But would you consider a new car to be valuable if it didn't run, or frequently shut down for no apparent reason and you could not get it serviced anywhere? Find another site. You're welcome.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS WEBSITE.

They will close your account without any reason or explanation.

When reaching out to customer service this is stated.

" I want to contact you and ask you something, can I?
Yes you can, but because this site is free, support is limited and we do not guarantee a reply."

Do yourself a favor and go someplace else.

Liked the site and met a lot of cool people then suddenly banned for no reason.
No recourse, the banning/moderation system is bunk.
Really ridiculous bot banning and can't talk to customer support.

Untrue
May 11, 2021

They can't upload your best pictures nor upload any pictures with small size of pictures of yourself. Heh, can I really not upload a faceshield and facemask picture of myself? It is a dating site yet some look for friends alone, what is the point of dating then just to earn friends? Some look for serious relationship but their headlines say otherwise(looking for friends only). Yet they don't want being corrected for their actions! Some women there are just ghosting with you or they like you but will disappear after so few messages. I got my account closed on that site. That is okay because I really wanted my account to be removed from there. They don't like fake people but when true and honest people speak their minds about something wrong in there, they delete accounts. I may not be victimized by scammers but being a victim of a such a wrong site is worse. A free dating site like this is no better than a paid subscription dating site.

It deserves 0 stars for the amount of fakes...it is free, though, so that's expected.
For the nice people there, which do exist, I add 1 star.
I add a second star because I'm hopeful...it's conditional until I feel like giving up...heh heh

You can be respectful, but still never match up with anyone nice. I know. I have been using the site off-and-on for quite some time, and 99% of the profiles I chatted with are "hi" "how are you"...and then nothing after that.

I have a strong feeling people are hired to create fake profiles and maintain them.
It feels like people have a "quota" to create profiles and try to keep guys engaged/coming back...but then they probably have like 100 fake profiles to maintain, so only have enough time to
A. Never read what you write, and
B. Only time enough to write "hi" "how are you"...before they have to jump to the next message or next fake profile

I think it's gotten to the point where I'm re-chatting with some of these fake people, because now the chats I'm having are with girls I never chatted with before, but they openly insult me, a bit vindictive, as if we chatted before...

Which is probably true because te past few months, I've been calling "BS" on some of the chatters, and blocking, so likely they are angry and wanting to get their "revenge"...heh heh...

And I'm seeing same faces as before with different profile names...so they're recycling the pictures...not to mention the rampant use of Photolab (see attached image) that I have called "BS" on, and the person was totally unapologetic.

There are some nice people there, but unless you are lucky, you'll have to wade through the fakes before you find them.

Photolab usage...I believe...you can take your face and put it on another head/body...

I'm a retired lawyer, living in Asia. I was on Date In Asia for about 5-6 years. Used it seldom. Meet only one lady from this site. I was ALWAYS respectful and polite. Made a HUGE mistake, I guess. They kept changing their format for the worse. I wrote Date In Asia's Customer Service a few, very polite and well thought out suggestions. They in turn, "DELETED" my account and refuse to reply when I write them. HUGE suggestion, if you are able to use this DATE IN ASIA, never write their customer service as they WILL DELETE YOU!

I sure can not figure out WHY they do what they do... other than to be nasty.

Defective Site
March 20, 2019

I took the time to fill out my profile information and then tried to load a photo. That's where the problems began.

The managers of this site have decided that they only want close-up shots of people's faces. If you prefer more of an upper torso shot which shows a little background - then tough luck! Their attitude is that they own your profile and they will crop your photo the way THEY want it. To enforce this, they use a highly defective facial recognition system that either doesn't recognize a real face or else it misidentifies an object (like a tire on a vehicle) as a face.

This site also uses algorithms to automatically screen profiles and messages for "violations of terms and conditions". This program seems to be highly defective as well which results in accounts being closed for no reason. When this happens, there is no explanation given and no way to get your account reopened. This is a very common occurrence - just read the other reviews. (If you do use this site and meet someone you like then you had better exchange contact information fast before one of you gets booted off.)

This is a site that needs to go away. There are much better options out there.

Never found any meaningful connections through it over the years, but was an ok dating site until this latest gimmicky remake.

Now, cheap entertainment inconsiderate and wasteful of your time is the only thing it's
Good for.

In particular, the complete removal of the already extremely limited keyword search and its replacement with the completely useless hashtags is what was the final straw for me.

Never had any written response to support requests or feedback, including about this latest "update", and didn't expect any since it's a "free" site.
( Except to the lazy and ignorant, it's far from free though, because now it wastes more of your valuable time than ever.)

The latest feedback and criticism on this issue simply got my account deleted, as usual without any written response.

Meanwhile, as has always been the case, the site is replete with fake and scam accounts, which never get deleted.
Now without ever rudimentary keyword search, you'll have to sift through all of that garbage to find whom you seek...

Those currently controlling and operating DIA did me a favor and saved me a lot of spare time by deleting my profile.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time on the time waste of a dating site that DIA has become.

My Experience
June 24, 2018

Was also banned for unknown reason? I tryed to get back on but got banned again. My 2nd steps were. I tryed using a differant ISP address from a net cafe( a VPN will NOT work). I used a new email address and also a differant cell# for verification. I then uploaded my picture. As soon as I tryed to send a message I was banned. My conclusion, they must be using facial recognition... Is DIA that sophisticated? I thought I had all the bases covered...
