Colombian Cupid is your chance to make connections with people living in Colombia. The site might have a more global matrimonial feel to it, as it has limited local search features. That makes it better suited to long distance meetings in many ways. There is at least one special feature, which will also help to bridge the gap between cultures, but only if you're willing to pay a bit extra. Without further delay, let's get underway with a few more details.

Filling out a free profile on ColombianCupid.com does require a certain amount of patience, as there is at least a page of dropdown menus and two short essay questions that can't be skipped. There is nothing too specific about what info they ask of you that makes it seem particularly tailored to Colombian dating beyond asking your fluency levels in both English and Spanish.

"I'm happy to say that as specific as this site's niche may seem, not to mention that it isn't a very common market to target, the site does very well at attracting visitors."

Since you're not asked to fill out a postal, or zip code, it should be clear that searches are limited to country, state, or province, and city. You need to scroll below your primary quick search results to find the more refined search options, including a city dropdown menu. If you upgrade to a paid membership, the advanced search options concentrate on other search fields, such as religion and whether or not someone is willing to relocate to another country.

It is always free to reply to messages, but if you want to initiate emails or instant messaging, you need to upgrade to a premium subscription. Doing so will also give you access to the group chat rooms on ColumbianCupid. If you opt for the more expensive of two available upgrade prices, you can also browse video introductions and send video emails as well.

The fact that you can make contact with non-paying members makes up for the lack of truly localized searches in some ways, as far as I'm concerned. You know that once you pay, you will definitely be able to communicate with every level of subscriber, so you greatly increase your contact pool. You might not be able to find someone who meets all your criteria just by using the search engine, but at least as a paid member you can communicate with anyone to find out more about that individual.

What it really comes down to with most any online dating site is whether or not a web personals site attracts enough traffic to make is feasible way to meet new people. I'm happy to say that as specific as this site's niche may seem, not to mention that it isn't a very common market to target, the site does very well at attracting visitors. Colombian Cupid seems to offer a real opportunity to meet Colombians and others from around the world.
