The Story Behind LovePinoy
Welcome to LovePinoy, your friendly guide to dating apps and relationships in the Philippines.
We’re not a big tech company. We’re a small group of writers, editors, and curious romantics who decided to test the world of online dating — the Filipino way.
Our mission is simple: to help Filipinos find genuine connections online, without wasting time or money on apps that don’t work.
We write honest, locally tested Filipino dating site reviews, guides, and tips to make modern dating a little easier (and a lot more real).
Why We Started LovePinoy
A few years ago, most “dating advice” sites were written by people who didn’t even live in Asia.
They copied reviews, used fake screenshots, and had no idea what dating feels like in Manila, Cebu, or Davao.
So, we decided to fix that.
Our team built LovePinoy as a space where readers could find:
- Real reviews of dating apps used in the Philippines
- Practical guides about Filipino dating culture
- Honest comparisons of what’s free vs. what’s worth paying for
We test every platform ourselves — from Hily and FilipinoCupid to Tinder, CMB, and smaller local apps — to show what actually works here.
Made for Filipinos, Tested by Filipinos
We believe that dating in the Philippines is its own kind of story — a mix of tradition, humor, and technology.
From OFWs trying long-distance love, to students finding friends online, every experience here is different.
That’s why all our content is written, edited, and tested locally.
We chat with real users, monitor community trends, and even compare how apps perform in different cities and islands.
When we say an app is active, safe, or worth trying — it’s because someone from our team actually used it.
What You’ll Find on Our Site
LovePinoy isn’t just another review blog.
Here’s what we focus on:
1. Dating App Reviews
In-depth reviews based on real testing. We cover everything — usability, active users, fake profiles, safety, and pricing in pesos.
2. Guides & Tips
Articles on improving conversations, online dating etiquette, and first-date ideas — all written with Filipino humor and warmth.
3. Comparison Lists
Curated rankings of the best dating apps in the Philippines, updated every few months to stay relevant.
4. Transparency
We clearly mark affiliate links and explain our Review Methodology, so you always know how we score each app.
How We Work
Each review goes through a 3-step process:
- Testing — Our editors use the app like real users for 1–2 weeks.
- Evaluation — We score features, quality of matches, and overall experience.
- Verification — We double-check local feedback from actual Filipino users.
We never post AI-generated reviews or accept payments for “good ratings.”
Honesty builds trust — and that’s what LovePinoy is built on.
A Quick Note on Affiliate Links
Yes, sometimes we use affiliate links (for example, to Hily, FilipinoCupid, or Tinder).
If you sign up using them, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
But our editors stay 100 % independent.
Our opinions are not for sale, and we never boost an app that doesn’t deserve it.
