The following guide is a datasheet with all the essential information you'll need to know about meeting and dating Indonesian girls. It's a list of questions that people have asked me over time. I tried to answer them as concisely as possible so you won't lose time reading it. If you still have interrogations, please ask them in the comment section below.
Whether you are holidaying in Bali or working in Jakarta, online dating is by far your best chance at finding someone special in Indonesia. It is now very common for Indonesians of any age or background to use dating apps, and the most popular ones have tens of thousands of members. Among my friends living in the country, the majority of them have met their partners online and it is no longer something to feel shameful about. To quote a famous pick-up line: No, you no longer need to pretend you've "met at the zoo" when you introduce your boyfriend or girlfriend to your parents. As dating apps became mainstream, the quality and the diversity of the profiles have improved as well. Gone are the days when dating apps were full of creeps and freaks. Nowadays, you can definitely find a potential wife or husband, someone attractive, smart, with a good job or career with whom you can build a serious relationship. That said, if you are a newcomer to the online dating scene in Ind
If you have a local girlfriend or wife, you certainly know that Indonesian girls absolutely love receiving gifts. In fact, I would say that being generous is one of the surest ways to keep your relationship strong and happy. The list below will give you 10 ideas of gifts that all Indonesian girls would love to receive. I've included links to trusted websites you can buy them from. Flowers
This article was last updated in May 2021. Please note that due to COVID-19, Dragonfly, Colosseum, and Blowfish are currently closed. The other ones are still open but closing early (around 1 AM). Going to nightclubs or bars is one of the best ways to meet Indonesian girls in Jakarta. It is a bit more challenging than online dating because you need to know what are the best venues and the best days to be successful. You must also be careful to differentiate between the "normal" girls, the prostitutes, and the professional girlfriends ( sugar babies ). The latter category includes all the ladies who make a living from having one or several boyfriends. Depending on what you are looking for, they can be either a great target or something to avoid.

If you think that as an expat in Indonesia you can be with any girls you want, you're wrong. Many of them would never date a foreigner for a whole variety of reasons. As I love to do some generalizing and stereotyping, I've listed below 10 types of Indonesian girls who never date foreigners and what you can do to date them nonetheless. Why would some girls refuse to date foreigners? The Ones Who Don't Want To Have Sex Before Marriage A 2014 study from the Pew Research Center found that 97% of Indonesians considered pre-marital sex to be morally unacceptable. On the other end of the spectrum, only 6% of French agreed with that statement. The 2010 Greater Jakarta Transition to Adulthood Survey asked 3,006 Indonesians between 20 and 34 years old about their sexual activity. 5% of women had had pre-marital sex and 16% of men. Let me rephrase: Only 5% of unmarried Indonesian women between 20 and 34 living in Greater Jakarta were sexually active in 2010.
Until today, I had never dared writing an article about ethnicity in Indonesia. I didn't want to appear racist and also because my knowledge on the subject is limited. As I'm growing older I start to care less, so here I am giving you advice on whether it is best to date/marry a Javanese or a Sundanese girl. Be aware that I am basing this whole piece on personal experience only. This is not a scientific paper, it's just entertainment. You may have a completely different opinion and I would love to hear it (especially if you are an Indonesian reader). Please just write a comment below. The two main ethnic groups in Indonesia are the Javanese (90 million people, 40% of the population) and the Sundanese (36 million people, 15.5% of the population). Both have distinct traditions, languages, cultures and cuisines. Javanese live mostly in East Java (Yogyakarta, Surabaya) while Sundanese are from the Bandung region. In Jakarta, most of the girls you meet will be eith
A few months ago, I wrote about the 20 hottest FHM/Popular/Maxim models in Indonesia . The following review is similar, with a selection of Indonesian girls who are regularly posting lingerie and bikini pictures of themselves on Instagram or Facebook. The 30 girls below are the sexiest Indonesian girls on social media. I chose them because they are not shy to show some cleavage or wear sexy outfits, not because they are the most beautiful. Some models on this list regularly publish naked, semi-nude and topless photos, but none are pornstars. I also didn't include girls who are prostitutes. To see more pretty Indonesian girls (with their Facebook and Instagram account), please read: 34 Most Beautiful Miss Indonesia . Most of those girls are freelance models (usually for male magazines) who can be hired for photoshoots. For more details, you can contact them directly on their Instagram or Facebook account (just click on the girl's name to see it). If you want to meet
With the current crackdown on red-light districts and massage parlours everywhere in the country, for instance in Kalijodo in Jakarta or Dolly in Surabaya, online prostitution has been booming in Indonesia. Surprisingly, sexual services are not necessarily advertised through specific adult dating sites. Indeed, many of them, even sugar dating sites like SeekingArrangement , or swinging ones like Adult Friend Finder , are blocked by the government and only available if you download a VPN (see Best VPN for Indonesia to see how to do). Prostitutes, pimps, and mafias use mainstream websites and apps instead, like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, BeeTalk, Instagram, Badoo or Tinder . If you are using any of these, you have probably noticed that there are more and more profiles of prostitutes, to the point that it can ruin the experience for "normal" users. This is the case on WeChat. They have a feature called "Look Around" that can be used to meet people
In this review, I will present you the hottest, sexiest, most beautiful Indonesian girls who have been modeling for men's magazines such as FHM, Popular, Maxim, Male, Gress and Sooperboy. The girls listed below come from all Indonesian ethnicities, but they are generally from Javanese, Bataknese, Sundanese or Manadonese descent. Some also have mixed blood. They are posing in lingerie, in bikini or simply wearing exciting dresses. Don't be a prude, even in conservative Indonesia, there is nothing against it. There are probably more names to add to the list, don't hesitate to comment below if you think of someone. Ratu Kirana Though this Top 20 is not in any particular order, I must say that Ratu Kirana is my favorite. Born in 1988 and measuring 1,68m, she is the perfect incarnation of Indonesian beauty.

In this article, I will give you the names and photos of the 11 sexiest and most beautiful Indonesian actresses who are still active as of today. I selected only natural beauties: No girls with color contact lenses, weird eyebrows, botox injections or lips enhancements. I also chose girls who are still young with a promising career ahead. For the "old" ones, you can check my review 10 Sexiest Indonesian Women . As it is often the case in Indonesia, many of the following actresses are also models and singers. You can know more about them by clicking on their name, it links to their Instagram accounts (from where I took most of the photos). Advertising: About Dating Indonesian Women The best way to meet normal Indonesian girls who are smart, independent and educated, is to use dating websites. Among them, Tinder works well with expats and younger tourists, but not so much with others. If you not staying in Indonesia, I recommend trying Indonesian Cupi
You may have noticed, men seem quite happy in Indonesia. No matter how dumb and ugly they are, there will always be a fair number of pretty and hot girls gravitating around them. Add to that the expat compensation package, the maid, the driver and the cheap flights to Bali and you have everything a man could dream of: Big pay, no chores, hot girls. On the contrary, life is hard on expat wives or worse, on single women. Thank God (or unfortunately) most of them don’t see what is happening behind their backs. Among the expats that I know, I can tell you that 90% of them, married or not, have had an affair or cheated on their girlfriends with an Indonesian girl at least once. The only ones that are faithful have stopped partying or, it exists, are absolutely, truly, deeply in love. It’s not just some old, fat pervert working in oil. The more often, it’s the good husband, with kids and family. I’ve been out partying for years in Jakarta, 5 days a week, and in each bar I went to,
If you want to compliment an Indonesian girl, just tell her that she looks mixed and you'll make her day. While I tend to prefer girls who look 100% local, the ones that have a tiny bit of foreign blood are often seen as the most beautiful for many Indonesians. Unsurprisingly, those girls (and guys) are over-represented among celebrities: Countless of actors, singers and TV stars are "blasteran", the word for mixed-race people. This is also true among models and beauty pageants contestants. I listed a few here but you can see more on my review 34 Most Beautiful Miss Indonesia . All the girls I chose are mixed with at least one "bule" (white) parent. I would have loved adding girls with Asian (particularly Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean), Arab, Indian, Latino or Black ethnicities, but I didn't find many. If you have a name worth checking, please leave a comment below and I'll be happy to add her name here. Salvita Decorte The actress is th
By Marc, a teacher who lived 5 years in Jakarta. You are an expat living in Jakarta involved in a relationship with an Indonesian girl? Are you wondering how serious she is with you? We know that the bar scene in Indonesia is very adventurous, and though it is easy to meet a decent girl, you may also end up with someone whose only interest is to suck you dry. Ayam, man-eaters, etc.. There are a lot of expressions to designate these girls but my favourite term is "Professional Girlfriend": Her job, the one activity that earns her revenue, is to be your girlfriend, or to make you believe she is. And they are great at it because they are pros. There are some easy things to spot in her behaviour that will help you guess if she's faking the whole thing or not. I listed 10 of them and I hope they will help you realize if yours is on the game or not:
HIN (Hot Import Nights) is a motor show originally from the US. The basic idea is to present cool tuned cars in a nightclub atmosphere with DJs, concerts, fashion shows and a "HIN Girlfriend" competition. This review will focus on the latter. The Indonesian models participating on the competition are usually voluptuous and sexy, with generous curves and a slightly provocative look. Many have an unfortunate penchant for painted eyebrows, heavy make up and color lenses. I hate those so I was careful to choose the most natural-looking models.
Dangdut music is one of the most interesting aspects of Indonesian pop culture. While I can't say I enjoy it a lot, I've had a lot of fun dancing on it in nightclubs, bars, festivals or events all over Indonesia. It is a music genre with an even broader appeal than Western pop music, especially among working class Indonesians. It is not surprising, for instance, that the most-followed Instagram account in Indonesia is that of Ayu Ting Ting, a dangdut singer. Considering the importance of religion in Indonesia, it may seem paradoxical that the whole nation would love dangdut so much. Dangdut performers are known to wear sexy outfits and the most often, they sing about love, relationship, dating, seduction or sex. Logically, Islamist groups have declared it "haram" (forbidden), but until now they've failed to curb its popularity.
There are two beauty pageants in Indonesia. Miss Indonesia, sponsored by Martha Tilaar , was created in 2005 and it is related to the Miss World contest. Puteri Indonesia is sponsored by Mustika Ratu and it has existed since 1992. The winner of the pageant gets a ticket to go to Miss Universe. I chose the 34 most beautiful girls to have ever competed in either one of these competitions. They are ranked in no particular order. All photos were taken from their social media accounts (twitter, facebook, instagram). Anindya Kusuma Putri Anindya Kusuma Putri, Puteri Indonesia 2015, was born in 1992. Originally from Semarang, Central Java, she studied Urban and Regional Planning at Diponegoro University where she was President of AIESEC. She is 1,76m tall.
The articles I wrote about the sexiest Indonesian models and the hottest Indonesian actresses are among the most popular on Jakarta100bars.com. I should add a similar one today: Indonesia's most beautiful singers. I didn't include those who are inactive or those who only had a one-time hit. If you are looking for something raunchier, you can read my ranking of Indonesia's 20 Hottest Dangdut Performers instead. Here are the 12 prettiest Indonesian singers (in random order):
10 years in Indonesia have taught me that even when Indonesian bar girls speak English, what they mean is not always obvious. Here is a little guide to help you deal with your relationships!
