InformationDid the dating site contain all the features you were looking for? Things like chatting, instant messaging, searching, video, etc...
The following comments are owned by whomever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
There seem to be a lot of prospects, but the quality varies greatly. (I mean, really, who thinks its a good idea to post a fuzzy profile picture, or one in sunglasses?).
Customer service has been nonexistent - I have tried twice to post an audio greeting, following all the prompts, and that never happened, nor did customer service trouble themselves to respond to my query.
The popups every single time I enter email are beyond annoying, and one cannot attach anything to email. I would like a more robust search filter, besides just a few such as age and place, it would be much more efficient.

I do think the women on there have LOFTY ideas of what they want in a man. The problem is that you dont find someone as quick as you would like to.
Im still on there After five months, some of the women i saw five months ago are still on there. I would send them a message, even though i have a career, my own place, and transportaion, its just not good enough. Alot of women on here have multiple kids from a previous relationship, And its funny some of the women ive talked to say that the men on here are crazy but some of the women are not much better. Overall still a good site. Better than plenty of fish lol I just wish the results were quicker.
I wonder if the site is so limited because alot of black people are leary of online dating. Although curious, I'm very skeptical & a bit old fashioned when it comes to dating. I guess it would be the same as meeting someone by chance. My question is .... is there a fee? Most dating sites that are reputable cost
This site is wonderful! I am or was :-) rather a single african american female who just moved to a new state. I found a really nice guy in less than a month-a few wierd ones as well... My friend told me to just try it because she had a friend that was successful in meeting a decent guy. It was the best money I've ever spent.
Thank you so very much black people meet!
So easy is that snapshot? Kids-how many-live with you? Single-ever married? Where you live? What you looking for?
Perfect! Hopefully everything works out with this man, but if I had to-money well spent and I am not one that enjoys spending.
