PinkCupid is an online dating site for lesbians. It is part of a larger network of dating sites targeting niche demographics that include GayCupid.com (PinkCupid's gay brother) and AsianEuro.com (for Asians and Westerners of all sexualities). As such, Pink Cupid uses the same basic template as these other sites, featuring text, voice, and video chat, instant messaging, and advanced search functionality. With Platinum membership comes an automated translation service. So far, the membership on PinkCupid seems a bit small, but it should be taken into account that this is an extremely narrow niche market. Pink Cupid can be used in English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German or Japanese. It’s a PG-rated site and no adult content is permitted.
