When you meet the love of your life, it’s quite the whirl of romance and love. You may expect those same gushy, goo-goo, la-la, moonlight and roses romance on an online dating site like LoverWhirl (and the name of the service sets those kinds of expectations).
But with all the romance scams and unreputable dating sites, is LoverWhirl a site you can trust to find, meet, and fall in love with the lady of your dreams?
That’s why I dived deep into LoverWhirl.
When I review and test a site, I do so thoroughly. I look at the site’s reputation, cost, services offered, quality and quantity of profiles, reviews on third-party sites, and more.
Here’s how LoverWhirl stacked up against my set of strict criteria.
Why Trust Doves-of-Love
- Faithfully reviewed over 1000 International online dating and matchmaking services.
- Experienced & dedicated team of dating bloggers and writers.
- Author of dating ebooks, including ‘International Dating Digest For Men: Finding Love Overseas’.
- Contributed in many publications including Notsalmon.com, Marriage.com, or Medium.com.
What Is LoverWhirl.com?
LoverWhirl.com is an international online dating site that caters to men who are looking for an Asian bride.
The name of the site – LoverWhirl – suggests that it’s a site where you can expect romance to happen, but the tagline – “LoverWhirl makes international communication effective and enjoyable” – makes you think this is just another Facebook type of website. (#nocreativity)
The rest of the site homepage is so generic. LoverWhirl only mentions what a quality service they provide and that they allegedly care about you … Not the kind of information you see on reputable dating sites. They never mention what you stand to gain by using this service … so my red flags are tingling already.
Looking further, I want to find out more about the company behind LoverWhirl, so I head to the “About Us” section. It’s a copy and paste of web pages I’ve seen before – like on JollyRomance (read also: JollyRomance Review 2022: Legit Or Fake?) and UkrainianCharm.com.
The company behind LoverWhirl.com is Interpillar Ltd. In addition to JollyRomance, they operate AsianMelodies, VioletDates, AmourFactory, VictoriaBrides, and others.
I’m guessing LoverWhirl.com is a relatively new online dating site since Interpillar Ltd was only established in 2019.
No mobile app for LoverWhirl.com exists, so you’ll need to load the website on your desktop PC, laptop, or smart device and date that way.
How to Register on LoverWhirl.com
It’s quick and easy to register on LoverWhirl.com. On the homepage, under the “It’s free to join!” heading in the white box, you need to fill in some information:
- Your gender (male or female)
- Your name
- Your birthday (month - day - year)
- Your email address
- A password
Next, you’ll need to tick the green box to say you’ve read and accepted the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and more. (Don’t be like thousands of others who just click – go and read and see what you are getting yourself into when you click the green box.)
The last step on this page is clicking “Register” in the blood-red box.
After this, you need to answer a few questions about yourself and your preferences. This all helps to match you up, so be truthful and fill in all the questions for the best results. You’ll be asked to upload a photo and write a little something about who you are.
As with the other Interpillar Ltd-owned sites, you’ll get 20 free credits – just for signing up.

Costs and Pricing of LoverWhirl
Some of the services on LoverWhirl are free, but if you want to chat, send stickers and photos, and more, you need to be a paying member.
This dating site doesn’t have a monthly paid membership as with other dating sites; instead, you buy coins or credits – the dating site’s online currency – to purchase the services you want to use.
My experience with these kinds of sites is that it gets pretty pricey to use the services because you are paying for every single service (except for the few free ones).
Here’s how much the credits will cost you; they are sold in various bundles:
- US$2.99 for 20 credits (only applicable the first time you buy)

LoverWhirl Design and Usability in Our Check
The LoverWhirl website is simple and easy to use. If you are new to online dating, you’ll easily find your way around the site.
Profile Quality - How Authentic Are the Profiles?
Browsing through the profiles on LoverWhirl, my first thoughts were how the profiles all look like models. Like stunningly beautiful, but fake – have the photos been overly photoshopped to appeal to men? Possibly.
I can only say that it looks too good to be true …

You can contact LoverWhirl via live chat or email (support @ LoverWhirl.com) if you need help with anything.
External Reviews in Our Test (Trustpilot/Sitejabber)
When I test an online dating site, I also check out the reviews on third-party review sites like Trustpilot and Sitejabber.
So what do current and previous members of LoverWhirl have to say?
On Trustpilot, LoverWhirl has claimed their profile and they’ve replied to all negative reviews. There are 29 reviews, and the dating platform has a 3.1 star rating, which is average.
17% of reviewers say the site is excellent, 38% say it’s great, 3% say it’s average, and 42% rated the site as bad.
Negative reviews of LoverWhirl mention:
- How customer service never replied
- How the site is a scam since the company will find a reason to ban you so you can’t get the contact details of the person you are interested in
- How the women don’t want to share their contact details
There is also a 4-star rating, but the guy mentions how his bank deems LoverWhirl as a fraudulent company and how expensive it is to keep buying credits. Mmhmmm … Request her contact details, if you can, mate.
Sitejabber tells a different story. But all’s to be taken with grains or bags of salt, in any case.
There are 14 reviews for LoverWhirl on Sitejabber, and the platform has a 4.33 star rating.
- 4 people gave the service 5 stars
- 9 people gave it as 4 stars
- 1 person gave it 3 stars
These so-called glowing reviews just mention:
- How the one lady signed up because her roommate is inundated with attention from men and she wants in on the action
- How the one lady met someone who’s okay with her being obese and they’ve been chatting for 2 weeks
- How it’s impossible to not meet someone (sure, if there are lots of fake profiles, how can you NOT meet “someone”?)
- Trusted dating service since 2008
- Manually checked profiles
- No subscription, no obligations
Our LoverWhirl Review Verdict: Negative
So, what do I think of LoverWhirl? That doesn’t really matter; it all depends on what my research and testing of the site revealed.
I found too many fake profiles and fake chats, so I can’t recommend that you sign up to LoverWhirl. Plus, the cost of the credits becomes really expensive, especially if you can never request your soulmate’s contact details so you can chat via Zoom, email, or WhatsApp.
I recommend you check out a reputable site like one of these 4 reputable Asian dating sites and apps to meet your Asian true love.
