SingaporeLoveLinks.com
Popularity:
Based on our research, we find SingaporeLoveLinks is one of the most popular Singapore dating sites, which means you may more likely find your ideal date on the site than on many other similar sites.
You can choose to be either a free member or a paid member.
If you decide to be a free member, you can contact paid members, but not other free members. This is a reasonable option if you just want to browse the site or currently have a very tight budget.
Paid members can contact both free and other paid members. The membership fee is small, compared with your "overall dating expense", including items like movie tickets, dinners, etc. But such minor cost may greatly expand your dating circle, and dramatically improve your dating experience. Some singles also think becoming paid members shows their interests and efforts to find the right dates, so they may be considered more desirable matches, with significantly higher response rates.
After you join the site, we suggest you perform three tasks:
1. Complete your profile thoroughly. This not only lets your potential dates know you better, but also makes you look more real and trustworthy.
2. Upload as many photos as possible. Photos are critical for other members decide whether they want to contact you or not.
3. Login to the site on a regular basis. Your ideal match may be waiting for you on the site during your next visit!

AsianDating.com
Popularity:
AsianDating.com is a hugely popular Asian dating site. It claims to have 2.5 million global members, with a very good Singapore local presence.
However, if you only look for Singaporean singles, we don't think AsianDating.com is the best starting point. You may want to try SingaporeLoveLinks first. Our Research tells us SingaporeLoveLinks has probably 3 to 5 times more Singaporean members than AsianDating.com has.
If, besides Singaporean singles, you are also considering to meet other Asian singles, such as Thai singles, Filipino singles, or Vietnamese singles, AsianDating.com is clearly a top choice.
You just need to complete the profile and probably pay the subscription fee once, and you'll have access to Asian singles from many countries.

Thaifriendly.com
Popularity:
More and more Singaporean men use ThaiFriendly to meet Thai ladies online.
Unlike FilipinoCupid, which is for long term relationships, ThaiFriendly is mainly used for casual dates. While most users report it’s quite easy to find dates on the site, here are a few tips to get the best experience.
1. Just like on any other dating sites, you need spend some time on completing your profile and uploading several photos. This will demonstrate your "authenticity" and build trust for you.
2. You may want to upgrade to become a paid member. Reports show the interest may improve dramatically after you do so. We are not talking about 10% to 20% more messages. Some people said they received several times more responses after the upgrade.
3. You may need to set your expectations right. Many ladies on the site are office workers, school teachers, retail clerks, etc., just like the women in your own neighborhood. Lots of them are cute and easy to chat, and some are pretty. But if you limit your search only to very hot stunning-look Thai girls, you may miss some true gems of the website.
