"I recently moved to Hong Kong for an exchange student program. On a drunken dare from my classmates, we bypassed the popular dating apps and decided to go more traditional and more questionable. Personals. Our ads kept getting reported in the Hong Kong version of Craiglist, but by the grace of Google, we found AsiaXPAT. Posting a Personals ad is blessedly free, though I don't understand why replying to the ad is the action that is charged. The website looks legitimate enough, but in the one week that my ad ran, I didn't get a single reply. It could've been because my ad wasn't enticing enough, or because not enough people visited the Personals segment. I won't bother trying to figure that out. I'll just go back to the proven-and-trusted dating apps."

What AsiaXPAT really costs in Hong Kong
- You can test AsiaXPAT free of charge
- You cannot read messages without paying
Browsing through the entire website is available for free. To be able to post and reply to an ad, you have to create an AsiaXPAT account. You can post ads anywhere for free, but responding to the posted ads will cost you 24 US Dollars per month, or 62 US Dollars for the whole year. Reading through the ads, you will realise that users have found a way to skip payment entirely, by replying to an ad with another ad. The title is usually a copy of the original ad with an added "Response!" at the end. However, the effectivity seems dubious because there is no known way where the original poster will be notified by the reply post.

Is AsiaXPAT right for me?Who is signed up on AsiaXPAT in Hong Kong?
Exclusively on DatingScout: online member numbers for dating services are usually far off, so we estimate how many people are really on AsiaXPAT from traffic data and interest, updated monthly, with history.
Majority of the members are between the 35-44 age range, closely followed by 25 to 34 year olds, and then the 45 to 54 year olds. Women make up 49.6% of the member population while men make up 50.4%. All in all, it is a great and even distribution of genders within the website. Most of the members have a university degree, many of them have a postgraduate degree, while some graduated "below university". Only 34.2% of the members are single, which isn't a good figure when you're posting an ad for dating.

Design & usability
The site may look cluttered for first-time users because of its many elements. It is, after all, a classified ads website that has a personals section that people often use as a place to look for dates.
Its appearance may need improvement to make it more pleasing to the eyes, but its functions and buttons work perfectly which is one of its great characteristics. Its users can do a variety of things on the site which is a plus if you are looking for a functional community that doubles as a dating site.
Final results
“Even though it has a huge amount of visitors and page views, AsiaXPAT is not a good website for dating. As a user, you will only see one bare ad with a title. You can't see a profile photo (or even the username) of the person who posted the ad.”
