Dating a Columbian is as good as it gets. Whether you’re in Columbia or abroad and want to meet gorgeous Columbian singles, I can help!
I’ve been in the business of reviewing online dating services for a while now. Although they say never to mix business and pleasure, I couldn’t help but reach out to several people and got myself a couple of dates while researching the best Colombian dating sites and apps.
While I’ll keep the juicy details of how my dates went to myself, I can share the top six apps and websites I thoroughly enjoyed using. After hearing what other users have to say, checking the quality of the members’ profiles, the prices, and the levels of security and support, these websites and apps made the cut:
- AmoLatina
- ColombianCupid
- Latin American Cupid
- InternationalCupid.com
- OkCupid
- Tinder
Stick with me as I walk you through the good, the bad, and the in-betweens about these sites.
1# AmoLatina
At first, the AmoLatina website looks a bit outdated, but there’s more than meets the eye. Being one of the most popular Latin dating websites, it has Latina women coming from different countries, including Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and more.
In a nutshell, Amolatina App is the go-to dating site if you feel your soulmate might be a Latina. The word “Amolatina” means “I love Latina,” which gives a good idea of what the site is based on.
You get a wide variety of options to choose from depending on your preferred age, sexual orientation, location, and physical features.
That means you can let the site know what type of Latina woman you want, and it will give you a shot with the ladies that fit the bill.
Quality of Profiles
Regarding the profiles, you get so much information about your potential date. Before you talk and set up a date, you can get a general feel of the person by looking at their “About Me” section.
It tells you where the person lives, their work and education status, their lifestyle, and location.
You also get to know their interests and what they want in a relationship. This information can go a long way in helping you know how you’ll break the ice with them.
The photos uploaded by users are also high quality and give you a clear visual view of the user.
Price
You can create your account for free, but to interact with other people, you need credits.
The cost of navigating the site is quite cheap. It will cost you 1 credit every minute for chats, around 6 credits every minute for a video chat, 15 credits for sending or viewing 1 photo or video, and 10 credits for every email.
The monthly subscription fee goes at $9.99 per month. You can also get 20 credits for $15.99, 40 credits for $30, 80 credits for $56 and 160 credits for $96.
Security and Support
In terms of security, Amolatina has reliable anti-scam protection to keep scammers at bay.
Also, each user has to verify their account before using the platform. It also encourages the users to use strong passwords and be wary of the information they give to the people they converse with on the platform.
Amolatina’s “Help Center” and “FAQ” pages give insightful answers to many questions you may have about the site. If you don’t get the exact answer you’re looking for, you can always contact their support staff through email.
Verdict: Totally worth exploring!
2# ColombianCupid
As the name hints, ColombianCupid is a place to find attractive Colombian singles. If you want to be a victim of the Colombian god of love and get wounded by his arrow of love, ColombianCupid is where you declare your intentions to the god.
The site has about 2 million users, so you have many options to choose from.
The users actively seek long-term relationships and serious commitments that can lead to marriage.
There is a balanced ratio of men to women, so you can be sure there is a Colombian hottie for you there.
Quality of Profiles
Setting up your dating app profile will take about 3 minutes. You only need to give your basic information to create your account.
From there, you will be led to your dashboard, where you can give more information about yourself to define what you are looking for.
A typical ColombianCupid profile has an overview section of who a person is and what they are looking for. There are also more detailed sections labeled “Seeking,” “More About Me,” “Hobbies and Interests,” and “Favorites,”
The “More About Me” section details appearance, lifestyle, background, and cultural values. In the same section, the user specifies what they want regarding those aspects of their ideal partner.
The quality of profiles in ColombianCupid is among the best you’ll get.
Price
There are 3 subscription options:
- The Standard subscription (the free version)
- The Gold subscription
- The Platinum subscription
The Gold subscription offers 3 payment plans which include the 1-month plan that goes for $29.98, the 3-month plan for $59.99, and the 12-months plan for $119.98.
The Platinum subscription also offers 3 payment plans. The 1-month plan for $34.99, the 3-months plan for $69.88, and the 12-months plan for $149.99.
Security and Support
The support feature at ColombianCupid is one of the most interactive out there. It gives you a search feature that matches your question with the correct answers.
And if you don’t get satisfied with the answer, you can reach out to the support team for targeted help.
You can even include photos in your support ticket to better illustrate your issue.
Verdict: Definitely worth the try! But first, make sure to read the Colombian Dating Guide!
3# Latin American Cupid
Had enough of the word “Cupid” today? Well, sorry to inform you that we are just getting started with the name.
Latin American Cupid is yet another wonderful dating website aimed at people who are into Latin America.
Whether you’re a Latin American or from another race and want to connect with Latin Americans, this is the site for you.
Most users are from Argentina, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, the USA, and other countries.
It is a good place for both serious relationships and casual hangouts. The website boasts about 5 million users, with around 700,000 of them from the USA.
Quality of Profiles
When you view a profile of someone you find attractive, there’s much to take in.
First, you can see if they’re verified by checking their profile. There should be a verification badge on the profile if they are verified.
Verification is done by submitting a national identification card like your national ID or passport.
Also, the profiles tell you essential things about the person, including their height, eye color, body style, location, religion, and more.
You even get to know how many children they have, if any. That information can help you paint a good picture of their lives and how well you’d fit in.
There are also match indicators that show the areas where you match.
Price
You can use a free version to find your way around before committing to the paid subscription packages.
There are 2 premium membership types, the Gold membership and the Platinum membership.
The Gold membership goes for $29.98 for the 1-month option, $59.99 for the 3 months option, and $119.98 for the 12 months option.
On the other hand, the Platinum membership costs $34.99 for 1 month, $69.98 for 3 months, and $149.99 for 1 year.
Security and Support
It gets a little tricky for a beginner to find customer support on the website. However, once you know where to look, everything becomes simple.
Ideally, you’ll see the settings tab on your homepage, which gives you access to the FAQ page.
When you click on that tab, you will see what looks like a chat feature, which is a search feature that leads to the FAQ page.
Didn’t find what you wanted? Well, contact the staff through email using the Contact Us button on that FAQ page.
Verdict: Worth the shot!
4# InternationalCupid.com
That heavy sigh of relief you hear in the background is for the last Cupid today. Finally, we have International Cupid!
This dating website is for anyone who wants to find love across the borders. It provides a platform where people from different continents can connect.
The app offers many features to improve your international dating experience. For instance, when you get to your dashboard, you get a search feature that lets you search for someone with the qualities you want.
You get to choose the country, the physical and general aspects that excite you in a person, and hit the “Search” button to see the results.
You can express interest in someone you find attractive with just a single click. And if they return the gesture, you are classified as a perfect match.
From there, you can talk further, get to know each other, and plan for a meet-up depending on who wants to cross the borders.
If you’re worried about the language barrier, International Cupid takes care of that. A message translator translates the message sent by your loved one into a language you understand.
Quality of Profiles
Like the previously mentioned Cupid apps, International Cupid has a lot to offer regarding profile strength.
By opening someone’s profile, you can easily summarize their personality and beliefs. And with that information, you can determine if they are the apple of your eye.
The profile is detailed with information about physical features, personal interests, and favorites.
Alongside each section of the information, the user gets to define what they would like in someone based on the same features of that section.
For instance, if you’re a blue-eyed 25-year-old male, you add that information in the “Basic” and “Appearance” sections. On top of that, you also get the furthest column in the same sections to describe which eye color and age you prefer in your lover.
Price
A free trial account lets you do so much without paying a dime.
There are also 2 paid membership packages, the Platinum and Gold packages.
The Gold package goes for $31.98 per month, $63.99 for 3 months, and $127.98 for 12 months.
The Platinum package will cost you $36.99 for 1 month, $73.98 for 3 months, and $149.99 for one year.
Security and Support
There are plenty of support options in the dating app. From mail to fax to phone number, you name it.
However, there are specific working hours you should work with to get hold of the support staff.
There’s also an FAQ page highlighting the commonly asked questions with well-detailed answers.
Verdict: You’ll be sorry if you don’t give it a try!
5# OkCupid
That heavy sigh of relief you hear in the background is for the last Cupid today. Finally, we have OkCupid!
What started as an app known by many as a virtual place to meet new people and befriend them has snowballed into one of the world’s most popular dating platforms.
Like with other widely popular apps like eHarmony and Elite Singles, you can use OkCupid’s services for just a fraction of the price. While you don’t have as many features and advanced search filtering options, I’m willing to turn a blind eye to considering the price we’ll discuss below.
You’ll unlock a whole new level of dating opportunities within 10 minutes of deciding to join OkCupid and filling out the needed information.
One of the features I liked was the chance to see who had liked my profile before I liked their profile. This feature comes in handy by allowing you to see who really likes you and does not just hit the like button out of respect, just because you liked them.
Quality of Profiles
OkCupid has members coming from different races, genders, and sexual orientations. One thing that almost all have in common is their friendly, communicative personalities! Definitely, a place where you can find a Colombian woman or a Colombian man to date.
As on every dating app, some users joined to have casual fun, flirt, and maybe have a one-night stand. However, compared to other online dating platforms, you’re less likely to run into such people – unless that’s what you’re looking for.
Price
OkCupid offers two membership levels. For increased client satisfaction, they also offer add-ons, i.e., boosts.
The basic subscription starts at $11.99 per month.
If you opt for a long-term basic subscription, you’ll get to save.
Namely, if you join for 3 months, the cost is $7.99 monthly.
6-month membership allows you to save even further, with prices as low as $5.99 per month.
The premium membership grants you exclusive features and comes at a higher price compared to the basic plan.
For $39.99, you get to explore OKCupid for a month.
If you choose the 3-month premium subscription, it costs $26.66 monthly, while the 6-month plan is $19.99 per month.
As for the add-ons, purchasing one boost will cost you $6.99. You can also get package deals and purchase 5x boosts for $5.99 or 10x boosts for $4.99 each.
Security and Support
Probably the biggest drawback of OkCupid is their support – or lack thereof. Although their FAQ section is quite detailed, that’s as good.
Whether you’re concerned about your security and safety or need help figuring out how the app works, your best bet is to search for your answer in their FAQs.
There’s also the option to send an email, but there’s no guarantee of how long it will take them to reply.
Verdict: I’m in a love-hate relationship with OkCupid. Thumbs up for the app, diverse members, features, and price. Thumbs down for lack of customer support.
6# Tinder
You can love or hate it, but you’ve most certainly heard of it – Tinder, the world’s most popular dating app!
Tinder is the Amazon of the dating world – an absolute jungle, which is not necessarily bad.
Tinder is the way to go if you’re young and want to explore your options before committing to a serious relationship. If you don’t object to receiving a nude here and there, do join.
But, if you’re looking to settle down and find someone to build a life with, Tinder might not be the best option.
While the app is flooded with youngsters needing casual fun, there have been quite a few real-life Cinderella stories. Girl meets a boy, boy doesn’t ask for sexually explicit communication, they go on a date, and they live happily ever after.
When it comes to Tinder, there is plenty of fish in the sea – 57 million members worldwide, to be exact. With users swiping more than 1.5 billion times daily, the numbers speak for themselves – there’s a fair chance you’ll meet someone.
Quality of Profiles
Tinder asks its members to provide basic information about themselves – a picture and a short bio will suffice.
One thing that makes Tinder stand out is photo verification which ensures users that the person they’re talking to matches their photo. While photo verification is not a must, if you’re on the market for verified profiles, keep an eye out for the blue checkmark next to the member’s name.
Price
Being just a year under 30, I was pleased to pay less for Tinder’s services. Tinder gets more expensive as you age – more precisely, once you turn 30.
For those under 30, there are three membership plans:
Platinum
- 1 month – $39.99
- 6-month – $20 per month, $89.99 total
- 12-month – $12.50 per month, $119.99 total
Gold
- 1 month – $29.99
- 6-month – $15 per month, $74.99 total
- 12-month – $10 per month, $99.99 total
Plus
- 1 month – $9.99
- 6-month – $5 per month, $23.99 total
- 12-month – $3.33 per month, $31.99 total
If you’re over 30, you get to choose from these membership plans:
Gold
- 1 month – $14.99
- 6-month – $8.83/$52.98 annual cost
- 12-month – $6.92/$83.04 annual cost
Plus
- 1 month – $4.99
- 6-month – $3/$18 annual cost
- 12-month – $2.23/$27.96 annual cost
Security and Support
Thanks to the photo verification, you can be at peace knowing that Tinder further ensures your security.
You can fill out their support request form if you stumble upon any issue while using Tinder. The support request form is very detailed, and you’re allowed to select your problem and desired outcome.
Verdict: Depending on your expectations, Tinder is either the best or the worst app ever.
To Date or Not to Date in Colombia?
That should not be the question!
With so many online dating apps, why would you choose to spend your days alone – especially now that you know that there are millions of Colombian singles that might be your perfect match?
The trick is, nobody can meet them in your stead. So, pick up your phone, join one (or all) of these online dating platforms, and date, date, date!
