Listen, navigating the world of dating apps is no easy feat. Especially considering just how many of them exist and how long it may take to sift through all the profiles.

But what’s exponentially worse than trying to figure out if someone is actually 6' like their profile promises? Receiving messages that are totally inappropriate because of your skin color.

And unfortunately, messages filled with racist undertones come at an alarmingly high rate on dating apps, as one Cosmopolitan writer recently wrote: “It’s easy for non-Black people, white men especially, to capitalize on exoticism [on dating apps] when they don’t have a reason to present the relationship to the public sphere.”

She described how non-Black men oftentimes message her lewd remarks about her body or ask if she can “twerk,” among other alarming stereotypes. So much ugh.

Fortunately, some dating apps now have features that make weeding out these unsolicited messages more possible than ever or at least make it easier to suss out users’ profiles more in depth via question prompts and requirements.

So we spoke with seven Black women who advised on their favorite dating apps that check these boxes. Because let’s be honest, you should only download an app that’s actually worth taking up storage space on your phone—and nothing else.

“I’d recommend Soul Swipe as the best dating app for Black women. Going on dating apps as a Black woman is like searching for the bare minimum. It’s quite unusual to find the right guy, but thankfully, for me, I did with this app. Its user interface is simple and easy to use, and you can easily find, chat, and meet your soul partner by swiping left and right.” —Catriona, 24

“Coffee Meets Bagel is the most inclusive dating app I’ve experienced because it lets you choose your dating race reference without making you feel bad for having a preference. As a Black woman, I’ve realized I receive more degrading implications—like one-night stands or sexual passes—from men outside my race. But on Coffee Meets Bagel, this platform blocks sketchy messages from coming in, and people cannot message unsolicited, inappropriate messages without both parties Liking one another.” —Imani

“I’m a big fan of OkCupid right now. It just launched a new feature that lets you put a #BlackLivesMatter badge visibly in your profile, which makes it easier to sort through matches worth my time.” —Michelle, 29

“I’ve used Black People Meet, Tinder, OkCupid, and an app called Black White. To my surprise, the most inclusive app has been Tinder. There is a new security feature, which makes Tinder feel safer. Plus, I like the ability to share the person’s photo with a friend. There’s also a new option to video-chat that I’m looking forward to using soon. I would recommend it to other African American women as a tool for meeting men, but as with any app, they can’t screen for marrieds or jerks.” —LaToya, 43

“I met my fiancé on Bumble two years ago. Not only did the app allow me to pick and choose who I wanted to reach out to, but I also felt safer on Bumble since it has features that give you the option to verify your profile in order to avoid being catfished. Being a Black woman, you have to stay clear of white men in particular who have fetishes or sexualize Black women and really aren’t interested in seriously dating. But I felt like Bumble was always being used by people who were more serious about dating and I felt like the men—especially white men—I matched with were genuinely there for relationships and not just sex…which wasn’t always the case on Tinder.” —Amber, 26

“As a Black woman who uses dating apps, I’d go with Hinge. With Hinge, you’re able to choose the race preference you prefer. Unlike Tinder and Bumble, you have to swipe left and right a lot before you find a Black guy depending on the city you’re located in.” —Krysta

“My favorite app is Bumble, as it’s inclusive in the way that its prompts allow me to share more about my Black identity so people know where I stand and who I am as a Black woman.” —Danielle, 27

Dating isn’t easy, especially when you’re a busy professional.

While many are hoping to make a love connection at the office, gym, or grocery store, it’s not happening nearly as often as we’d like it to.

Where do you go when it seems you can’t find any compatible dates?

We take it to the internet.

There are tons of dating sites out there meant to help hopeful singles find a worthy match.

But let’s just say that all dating sites aren’t created equal.

If you’re looking for love in all the wrong places, here are nine options you can turn to.

eHarmony

Outside of Match.com, the other popular dating site that you’ve probably heard a lot of is eHarmony.

If you watch an eHarmony commercial, they have a very large claim that makes them a contender when weeding through potential dating sites.

On average, the site is said to create a new love connection every 14 minutes.

They also claim responsibility for over 2 million relationships in the United States.

Overall, when it comes to popularity, features, value, safety, and ease of use, eHarmony is a great option.

The website has over 10 million active users and helps members weed through those who might not match up with them personally.

Eharmony has a 32 Dimensions Personality Assessment.

And what exactly is it?

It’s an 80 question survey about your likes, dislikes, hobbies, and more.

Similar to the EliteSingles process, this questionnaire is going to help weed out those who aren’t serious about finding a deep connection.

After all, love takes time.

Available in 190+ countries, there are many pros to this site, but there are a few cons.

While many other sites give you free options and capabilities, eHarmony only offers a free trial for three days before charging you for their subscription.

Not to mention, their subscription is more expensive than many other dating sites out there.

Even so, the success of eHarmony relationships speaks for itself, so it’s definitely worth trying.

EliteSingles

If you’re serious about finding love online, and want a person with a specific set of parameters, it is worth giving EliteSingles a try.

While people of any age can sign up for this dating site, you’ll find that the age demographic mostly sits between 30 and 55.

There are a few other things that make this site worth your while.

For those who value higher education, 67% of the members on the site have a bachelor’s degree or higher.

You’ll even find a few more processes that set you up to find a great match.

The sign-up process comes with the standard personal information that includes your name, physical traits, education and more.

EliteSingles delves deeper by having a thirty question evaluation to help identify personality traits.

While this might seem tedious for some, it’s going to help weed out those who aren’t as serious while helping you connect with people who share similar traits as you.

In addition to this, the site also provides manual checks of profiles in the registration phase to remove any that might be fake.

A one month membership on this site can be pretty pricey at close to $60, but there is an option for a free basic membership if you’d like to try out the site for yourself.

BlackPeopleMeet

I’ll be honest.

Before I never took BlackPeopleMeet seriously because I thought the commercial was corny.

While their marketing might need some help, it’s important to know that the site is actually a great option for Black professionals.

The site has been around since 2002, and they have been able to become the largest Black dating site for singles in the U.S.

There are definitely pros that come to trying this particular platform.

Signing up and creating a profile is exceptionally easy.

All you need is an email address, username, and birthday.

Frankly, you don’t even need to upload a picture, but you definitely should.

Rule of thumb, I’d probably steer clear of profiles that don’t have a picture.

But if you’re worried about fake profiles, BlackPeopleMeet is another site that manually filters through profiles looking for fake ones.

Other benefits to using the sites is that it allows you to use their search filters for free and helps its users create detailed profiles through personality questions and basic information.

And if you’re someone who never knows how to start the conversation, they also offer prompts to help get you going.

While there are cons to this site like limited free communication, BlackPeopleMeet is worth trying to put yourself out there.

Match

When it comes to dating sites in the U.S., Match.com is the OG.

Launched in April 1995, it is actually the oldest dating site in the country.

One thing might have you ready to join the site, and it’s probably the fact that according to Dating Advice, Match.com has facilitated more first dates, relationships, and marriages than any other dating site in existence.

Match.com is great for a few reasons, but one of its downfalls is that you can’t get much out of it with a free membership.

If you decide to purchase a subscription, then you’ll reap many of the benefits of the site.

One, paid subscribers can not only see who’s viewed their profile, but they can read and send messages at their leisure.

Two, the site has an active user base in 25 countries around the world.

Based on your personal details and preferences, the site also sends daily match suggestions for people they think you might like.

Plus, Match is more than that “swipe left, swipe right” mentality.

You can wink, send a yes rating, like, or favorite member profiles.

And last but not least, there’s some getting used to things when it comes to online dating.

For those who are tired of dating on a screen, Match offers local Match Events where local singles can meet up with each other.

The League

I can be honest and admit that I’m picky.

I’m also busy and don’t like wasting time.

If you’re like me, then theLeague might be the site for you.

The signing up process might be a hassle because while you might sign up, there’s a waiting period and a waiting list.

If you’re signing up for a free membership, depending on the city you’re in, it could take months.

If you’re signing up for a paid membership, it normally takes 48 hours for a member to be verified and 24 hours for an owner to be verified. 

There are certain perks that come with having a paid membership on The League.

With different tiers, members, owners, and investors receive five, six, and seven prospects daily.

Paying for a membership also comes with certain perks like ensuring the people you like see you immediately or seeing who likes you.

The site also comes with Sunday night “League Lives” where members can go on virtual dates through the app.

Members can also have video profiles.

One last thing about The League is that they have “Party Scout.”

This shows nearby users who might be available and interesting to meet for dinner or drinks.

The League can be a lot, but if you’re truly looking for Black professionals, this is where you’re going to find it.

Hinge

If you’re tired of swiping left and right, you might want to get started on Hinge.

While you can get started with a regular account, if you want to sign up with a social media account, your account needs to have at least 60 friends.

The site will then match you with mutual friends or others locals in the area.

The signup process is easy.

While a bit more extensive than other sites, you’ll have to answer three prompts to help get your profile started.

Be sure to answer these, because they definitely help break the ice when starting a new conversation.

And while these prompts are mandatory, you’ll definitely find your fair share of people who write “N/A” for their answers.

In any case, I usually steer clear of them.

When it comes to showing your interest, there is no swiping on this app.

Instead, they have “likes.”

While you can like someone’s picture, you can also like something they said in one of their prompts.

Likes can also come with comments, so people can share a few words.

Hinge definitely isn’t as high maintenance as other apps, but it works.

And it might work for you too.

OKCupid

When it comes to getting the biggest bang for no buck, OKCupid is one of the best options.

Like many other sites, the sign up process is easy, but the dating platform has other steps in place to help you make a connection.

The site compiles a list of deal-breakers for you where you can decide if something’s important to you or not.

If political parties matter to you, you might signify that finding someone with the same political ties as you is important.

Alternatively, if you don’t care much for zodiac signs, you can also signify that it is something you find unimportant.

OKCupid also helps you determine a few other things.

The site will ask if you’re looking for new friends, short-term dating, long-term dating, or hookups.

They’ll even ask if you’re open to non-monogamy.

There are also a few other free benefits to this site.

One, you can message for free, and when you like someone, you can also send them a message as well.

The site claims that they have over 91 million connections made every year.

Plus, another free benefit that this site offers is that if you accidentally swipe left on someone, you can undo it for free.

If you’re looking to make serious connections with professionals without being ready to spend dollars on pricey memberships, try OKCupid.

Bumble

Last, but not least, on our list, we have Bumble.

This is the site that became a game changer in online dating.

While Bumble has the same fast swipe capabilities like Tinder, it is definitely regarded as a more serious dating site.

What really revolutionized this site was that it gives women all the power.

Instead of giving men the opportunity to message women first, the women have to do it.

While this is great for women who are tired of men inundating their inbox with messages, I sometimes look at it as a con.

I normally prefer to have men message me first, and while Bumble forces you out of your comfort zone, I have let many a match go because I was interested enough in messaging first.

The site does help you find some great professionals, but if you’re truly busy, Bumble has a very glaring con.

With a free profile, you’re only given 24 hours to message those you match with.

Depending on when you match and how busy your schedule is, you might miss a connection before you have time to reach out to them.

In all cases, Bumble is still a great option if you’re looking to make a love connection online.

Top 10 Best Black Dating Sites of 2022

#1 eHarmony: Best for Serious Relationships

Often, people use dating sites for casual hookups and are not interested in forming serious relationships. If you’re looking for a website that facilitates primarily long-term relationships, we recommend eHarmony.

eHarmony is a dating website popular among individuals between the ages of 25 and 44. While this site is not exclusively for black dating, black women and men make up a significant portion of its dating pool.

Signing up for eHarmony is simple. First, you’ll need to complete a compatibility quiz to give the site an idea of the types of people you may be interested in dating. This quiz will ask you questions about your personality, interests, and desired characteristics in a dating partner.

Once you complete this quiz, you will be able to create your profile and begin reviewing the profiles of users who may be a good match for you. However, before you can start talking to any other users, you’ll need to choose your membership plan and pay for the first week or month of your subscription. Plans range in price from around $35 to $65 each month.

eHarmony is incredibly easy to navigate, even if you have no experience using online dating platforms. You can access this platform through a desktop website or a mobile dating app.

While eHarmony is a bit pricier than other dating apps, this higher cost ensures that you will match with other black men and women who are serious about finding a lifelong partner. Additionally, eHarmony’s advanced matching algorithm ensures that you match with users who you may actually be interested in dating.

Overall, we recommend eHarmony for black men and women looking for a serious black dating site through which they can meet a long-term partner.

#2 BlackPeopleMeet: Best for Marital-Focused Relationships

If you’re looking for dating sites specifically for black people and are interested in beginning a marital-focused relationship, we recommend BlackPeopleMeet. This platform is the premier dating site for black and biracial singles.

While anyone over 18 can join BlackPeopleMeet, this site targets its services toward African American singles. 

To begin using this black dating site, you’ll first need to specify your gender and the gender you are interested in dating. Then, the site will take you through a few pages of questions about your location and ZIP code to help match you with singles in your region.

You’ll also need to create a username and password before you can begin matching with black singles. At this stage, you can set up your profile and include photos and information about yourself that you’d like other users to know.

While setting up your profile and browsing the singles on the site is free, you’ll need to begin a paid subscription before you can start chatting with other users. However, new users can take advantage of a seven-day free trial to test the site before making a monetary commitment. 

BlackPeopleMeet features straightforward navigation through a desktop website and a mobile app. Signing up for this online dating service is also quick and easy, requiring only around two minutes from start to finish.

The BlackPeopleMeet subscription fee is moderate compared to other top black dating sites. While your costs will vary depending on your subscription length, you can expect to pay around $16 for a one-month subscription.

Additionally, the platform’s matching algorithm is in-depth and effective. Each day, you’ll see a list of eleven members who have similar interests to your own.

Overall, we recommend BlackPeopleMeet for anyone looking for a marital-focused online dating experience with a dating pool of primarily black singles.

#3 InterracialMatch: Best Interracial Dating Site

If you’re looking to begin an interracial relationship, you may have the most success on a website designed specifically for interracial couples. We recommend InterracialMatch as one of the best dating sites for interracial relationships.

Anyone, regardless of race or gender, can join the InterracialMatch platform. While the Caucasian and black communities make up the largest portion of the site’s dating pool, many people of other races have also found love on this site.

Your first step to begin using this dating site is to fill out a short form with your gender, the age range you are interested in, your ethnicity, and your location. When you first join, the site will designate you as a “standard member,” allowing you to create a profile, add photos, search for other users, and send winks to people you are interested in dating.

As a standard member, you can also respond to messages sent by premium members. However, if you want to initiate your own conversations and search for people using advanced filters, you’ll need to upgrade to premium.

InterracialMatch features an easy-to-use interface. You can download the platform as a mobile app for Apple or Android or chat with other singles through the desktop website if preferred.

Premium plans range from around $20 to $40 per month depending on the membership duration you pay for up front. This price range is a bit high for black dating sites, but you may find the cost worthwhile if you are specifically searching for an interracial relationship.

This platform uses exclusive technology to help you find your perfect match through InterracialMatch. The site will use your profile responses to match you with like-minded members of the site. You can also limit your matches to those who meet specific criteria, such as age range or religious beliefs.

Overall, we recommend InterracialMatch for anyone interested in interracial dating.

#4 Christian Cafe: Best Christian Dating Site

If you are a Christian, choosing a site specifically for Christians could allow you to find users with values similar to your own. If you’re looking for a Christian dating site that is welcoming for black singles, we recommend using Christian Cafe.

Christian Cafe is an online dating site available to anyone looking to enter a Christianity-centered relationship. While this site features a mostly white dating pool, some black singles have found love on the platform as well.

You can create a free account and begin using this site for ten days without any monetary commitment. To get started, click “Sign Up for a Free Trial” on the Christian Cafe homepage and create your account. You can access all the features available through the site during this trial.

Once you create your account, you can begin browsing through the profiles of Christian singles in your area. Christian Cafe will show you match suggestions based on your preferences and answers to your personality questions. However, you can also find compatible matches yourself by browsing through a list of dating profiles.

After your free trial expires, you will need to upgrade to a paid membership to continue talking with your matches. Subscriptions for premium users range from $8 to $35 per month depending on your total payment.

The Christian Cafe dating site is a bit outdated compared to other online dating sites. While there is an app version of this platform, the creators have not updated it in over two years.

Additionally, this platform uses a relatively straightforward matching algorithm. It may take some time to match with someone who checks all of your boxes.

However, if you can overlook these features, you can benefit from an affordable dating site that may allow you to meet your perfect match. We recommend Christian Cafe for black singles looking to form serious relationships with other Christians.

#5 Silver Singles: Best Over 50 Dating Site

If you’re like many people, you may think that the older you get, the harder it will be to find a romantic partner. However, dating sites for older individuals make it easier than ever to find your match, even as a senior.

Silver Singles is a dating site specifically for people over age 50. While individuals of any race can join this site, it is especially popular among white and black seniors.

To begin using Silver Singles, you will first need to take a personality test to give the site more information about your interests and the types of people you may be interested in dating. Next, you can create your profile and begin reviewing your matches.

Silver Singles is easier to navigate than many other dating sites, making it suitable for seniors who may not have much experience with the online dating scene. However, this online dating site is a bit more expensive than others, as you’ll need to pay between $30 and $50 per month to use all of its features.

Silver Singles uses a straightforward matching algorithm, as the site will simply match you with other members with similar personality test answers to your own. Each day, the site will send you between three and seven new matches.

Overall, we recommend Silver Singles for black seniors over age 50 looking to enter a serious relationship.

#6 Ashley Madison: Best for Married People

If you’re currently in a married relationship and looking to spice up your partnership, you need a specialized dating site where married dating isn’t taboo. Ashley Madison is our top dating site for black men and women who are already married.

Anyone over the age of 18 can join Ashley Madison, whether they are single, dating, or married. However, most people use this platform as a hookup site to find individuals willing to help them cheat on their spouses.

Ashley Madison features a discreet platform that allows you to hide your activities from your spouse or family members. Once you create a profile, the platform will show you suggested matches of like-minded individuals who may already be in a relationship.

This dating website is relatively easy to navigate. If preferred, you can also use the app form of the dating platform to message your matches while on the go, but it may be more challenging to hide your activity on your phone than on a computer.

Unlike other dating sites, Ashley Madison gives you some flexibility over how much you end up paying. To send and receive chat messages, you will need to use 5 “credits” per message. Each credit costs between $0.29 and $0.59 depending on how many you purchase at once. However, these costs can accumulate quickly, making the site rather expensive overall.

However, for this steeper price tag, you can receive matches from a straightforward matching system that allows you to connect with individuals who won’t judge you for wanting to begin an affair. If you’re looking for a cheating partner, you may find this price worth it.

Overall, we recommend Ashley Madison for African Americans who are currently married and looking to find an affair partner or open their relationships.

#7 Elite Singles: Best for Black Professionals

If you work a lot, you may not have much time for dating. Additionally, you may only be interested in beginning a relationship with someone as committed to their career as you are.

Elite Singles is an online dating platform for professionals. While anyone can join this site, around 90% of users hold an above-average education. Additionally, black singles make up a decent portion of the site’s dating pool.

To join Elite Singles, you’ll first need to specify your gender and the gender you are interested in dating. Elite Singles will then take you to a page where you can choose your personal preferences for a partner, provide some information about yourself, and create your account.

You should have no trouble navigating this online dating website and searching through the matches Elite Singles shows you. While this site isn’t cheap, as it costs between $45 and $60 per month, this higher pricing system may ensure that you only match with black singles who have similar career goals to your own.

Elite Singles uses an impressively intelligent matchmaking system that you won’t find on many dating sites. This algorithm delivers the most relevant matches based on your preferences, saving you time as you search for other black singles to date.

Overall, we recommend Elite Singles as one of the best black dating sites for professional black women and men.

#8 Match: Most Popular Dating Site in the U.S.

If you’re looking to form a meaningful, serious relationship through a black dating site, we recommend trying Match.

Match is one of the most popular dating sites on the web, and the site’s parent company runs several other dating sites, including BlackPeopleMeet. Anyone over 18 can join Match, and the site includes a relatively balanced mix of black singles and people from different races.

To get started, you’ll need to fill out the form on the Match homepage with information about the types of people you would like to date. Match will then take you to a page where you can create an account, add photos and information to your profile, and choose your paid membership plan.

Match features a simple, user-friendly interface. The site will walk you through all of the necessary steps to create your profile, then show you how to connect with other black singles with similar interests and personalities.

This site costs anywhere from $15 to $36 per month depending on your membership, which is typical for the online dating world. While you can join Match free, you will not be able to communicate with other online daters without a paid subscription.

Most users do not use Match for casual dating, instead creating profiles to form meaningful relationships. We recommend this site for black singles looking to form genuine connections with other users.

#9 Zoosk: Best for International Dating

If you’re looking for an online dating platform that doesn’t limit your search to users within your geographical region, you may want to try a site like Zoosk. Zoosk is our top choice for international dating.

Zoosk has helped over 35 million people in 80 countries find love, giving you a vast dating pool of singles with whom you may be compatible. Anyone over 18 can join Zoosk, and this site features more black users than some of the other dating apps on our list.

You can sign up for Zoosk using your existing Facebook or Google accounts or create a brand-new profile. Once you finish setting up your account, Zoosk will begin matching you with other users with similar interests. The site also features dating tips and a free online resource page that you can use to optimize your online dating experience.

#10 BLK App: Most Popular African American Dating App

Not many dating sites limit their user base exclusively to the black community. If you’re looking for the best dating site for black singles, we recommend the BLK app.

BLK is a black dating platform for African American singles. Any black singles over age 18 are welcome to join this dating service.

To begin using BLK, you’ll need to download the app to your mobile device. This platform is available for Android and Apple devices. At this time, you cannot use BLK on a web browser.

Once you download the app, you will need to create an account detailing your dating preferences and interests. After completing your profile, BLK will show you other black singles you may be interested in dating.

You can swipe right or left on each person’s profile to like or dislike it. Once you and another person both swipe right on each other, BLK will “match” you, allowing you to begin chatting. This platform is similar to other dating apps and is easy to navigate, even for those new to the dating scene.

BLK’s matching algorithm is straightforward. The app will show you individuals who have similar interests or preferences to your own. You can also use filters to narrow your potential matches to more specific tastes.

BLK is a free dating site that does not require a premium subscription. However, if you’d like to gain access to advanced features, such as the ability to “undo” a like or dislike, you can upgrade to a premium membership for around $10 each month.

Overall, we recommend BLK for anyone looking for the best black dating site for an exclusively black population.

Key Factors for Black Singles to Look for in a Dating Site

After reviewing the above list of the best dating sites for black singles, you may feel a little overwhelmed by all of your choices. If you’re unsure which website is best for your needs, we recommend examining the following factors in each platform to narrow your search. 

Dating Pool

Each of the dating platforms above features a unique pool of members. If you’re looking to begin a relationship with a specific type of person, such as someone in a professional career, an older individual, or simply a black woman or man, you should be sure to examine the site’s dating pool before paying for a membership.

Price

Dating websites typically charge monthly fees to allow you to access all their features. Many of these sites allow you to create a free dating profile, and then charge a fee for you to chat with other users. However, some platforms, like BLK, provide unlimited free communication.

Before creating an account on a dating platform, make sure you understand its pricing strategy and determine whether its fees fall within your budget. Keep in mind that if your online dating journey is successful, you shouldn’t need to have a profile for longer than a few months. As such, it may not make sense to pay for a six-month or one-year subscription up front.

Success Stories

Most of the dating platforms on our list feature success stories on their websites to help you understand the types of couples who have found their matches on these platforms. While companies may fabricate these success stories in some cases, reading testimonies can generally give you an idea of how effective a platform’s dating strategies are.

Before choosing a dating site, we recommend reading the testimonies from couples who have found love on the site. If an online dating company does not post these stories itself, you can often find them by reading app reviews in the Apple or Google Play app stores.

Matching Algorithm

Some dating sites use intensive matching algorithms from dating experts to help you find the online dater you are most compatible with. Other sites simply show you a list of users who clicked on similar interests and hobbies to you when creating their profiles.

If you’ve had trouble finding a dating partner in the past, you may benefit the most from a site that uses an intelligent matching algorithm. However, if you are simply looking for black singles in your area, a less-intensive algorithm may suit your needs just as well.

Are Free Black Dating Sites Legit?

You may be wondering: Why should I sign up for a paid dating website when free ones exist? However, paid and free dating platforms each have their own benefits and disadvantages.

While free sites may allow you to meet black singles without any monetary commitment, these platforms are often full of fake profiles and insincere daters. Think about it—people looking to scam other users through a dating site are much more likely to do so through a platform that does not charge them to create a profile.

While paid sites do require a bit of a monetary commitment, they usually contain more intentional, serious users looking for actual long-term relationships.

How to Avoid Fake Profiles on Black Dating Websites

Fake profiles and “catfishing” attempts are rampant on online dating sites. Here are a few tips to help you avoid wasting time on users who have fake profiles:

• Look for “verified” profiles: Many sites allow users to verify their profiles by taking a photo in a specific pose. If you want to be as safe as possible, we recommend only connecting with users who have verified profiles.
• Ask to video chat: If you’re unsure whether someone is who they say they are, you can always verify their appearance through video chat. If they refuse to FaceTime with you, they’re probably trying to hide something.
• Schedule a meet-up: Users who hide behind fake profiles often give a range of excuses for why they cannot meet up with you. If a user is unwilling to meet you in person, you can assume they are not being honest. Always exercise caution when meeting someone you met online for the first time.

Overall, if you’re ever unsure whether one of the users you’re talking to is legitimate, it may be best to move on to another match.

How do black dating sites work?

These are a great option because you get to meet people from all walks of life. You can also use the advanced search features to find other singles who match your specific preferences.

The other type of dating site is one that specifically caters to the black community. These are niche sites, offering black people the chance to meet people who share their interests. Not only do they offer a supportive network, but they allow you to make friends and find new experiences.

What are the benefits of joining a black dating site?

Connect with like-minded black singles

Black dating sites offer the chance to meet others that share your hobbies and interests. Sharing a similar culture and background can also help you connect on a deeper level with your match. This can give you a solid foundation to build a long-lasting relationship.

Finding a like-minded black single can help you connect with their family and friends too. They’ll no doubt form a big part of your life, so having a connection can help you get to know them better.

And when it comes to other aspects of your life, like your diet, finances, family, friend, and sex, you’re more likely to agree and move forwards together.

Find long-term love

If you’re serious about looking for love, best dating sites for black people, using a black dating site can help you find a serious relationship. This is because you can utilize the advanced reddit dating a ukraine woman filters to find singles who meet your exact preferences.

You might also have a better understanding of what members on the site are looking for through the information on their profiles. This can help you to understand what they hope to achieve by becoming a member, be it finding love or friendship.

The greatest relationships are the ones you never expected to be in.

This is so important — you don’t want to spend your free time doing things outside your comfort zone. Finding the right person is worth taking time and effort over. To get started, spark up a conversation, find out what makes your match tick, and ask yourself whether you can see yourself together.

Black dating stereotypes

People say black men are:

Unfortunately, racial stereotyping is still evident in popular culture. The following are some of the most commonly used:

“Black men are thugs.”

Thanks to film, TV, and the media, black men are often thought to be ruthless, burly, and even members of street gangs. Of course, this may be true of some people, but this isn’t black-specific. Men of all races can be the above, but the truth is many black men are kind, caring, and want to do well in life.

“Black men are always smiling and happy-go-lucky.”

Black men suffer from down days as much as best dating sites for black people other race. Being happy isn’t a constant state of mind — it’s an ever-changing mood. It’s unrealistic to expect black men to be smiling 100% of the time.

The reality is, black people experience all emotions and have the same worries as all other men. This includes performing at work, providing for their families, best dating sites for black people, and making time for friends.

“Black men are better in bed.”

You know the saying, ‘once you go black, you never go back… There’s some kind of popular notion that black men are well endowed, best dating sites for black people. While this might be the case for many, it’s not a given. Black men can be great partners and good lovers.

Don’t play hard to get, be hard to forget and easy to lose.

People say black women are:

Much like the stereotypes about black men, there are plenty of common misconceptions about black women too. These are some of them.

“Black women are sassy and always angry”.

While some black women might be loud, this isn’t the case with the entire race. In the media, black women are often portrayed as sassy and confrontational. But this is unrealistic — most women have their sassy side (even if some hide it).

“They’re always available to help others.”

In film and TV, best dating sites for black people, there is a common portrayal of black women that sees them always on-hand to help their white peers. While they might be seen as strong, black women sometimes need looking after too.

“Black women are promiscuous”.

Sure, black women are sexy and beautiful. But they’re very rarely the promiscuous sex sirens they’re made out to be. Having confidence in your appearance is something to be celebrated — it’s not something to be shamed for.

Who’s on black dating sites?

When it comes to the people using black dating sites, you’re likely to find black people and the people who’d like to date them. And everyone is looking for something different. This includes casual hookups to serious relationships — one size doesn’t fit all. However, many dating sites and apps cater for both, depending on what members are looking for.

It’s interesting to note that the gender ratio will vary from site to site. Men in their early 20s and 30s are often looking for one-night stands, best dating sites for black people, whereas women prefer to find an emotional connection. The most common age of black dating site users is between 25-44. And there are dating sites that cater to older singles (the 40s and over) too.

What factors to look for when deciding on a black dating site?

Membership base

Generally speaking, the membership base will differ from site to site. This depends on whether you choose a black dating site or one that offers best dating sites for black people chance to meet diverse singles.

It’s worth considering whether you’re looking for a black person to fall in love with, or are open to all races.

Think of what features the site is offering too. From advanced search filters to match nights, these will help you get the most out of the membership base available to improve your dating experience.

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget the way you made them feel.

Price

The price will have a significant effect on whether you choose best dating sites for black people sign up to a black dating site or not. Free dating sites are few best dating sites for black people far between — but they do exist. What you’ll find best dating sites for black people they’re not often specific to the black community, but attract singles from all races.

Niche black dating websites tend to incur a monthly or annual fee, and they’re not usually cheap. Quite often these dating sites have fewer members, so they charge more for the services on offer, best dating sites for black people. If you find a site you like, try signing up and then give the free membership a go before you commit. Some even offer free trials, meaning you can try them before you buy.

Matchmaking system

Many dating sites use sophisticated matching algorithms to send you quality matches each day. This stops you from having to search through an endless amount of profiles yourself. This is great news if you don’t have the time to spare. It also means you’re shown people you’re most likely to be compatible with.

Other dating sites offer only basic search filers. This will suit singles who like to be in control of their dating destiny by choosing the people they want to message for themselves.

What are the pros and cons of black dating sites?

Black dating sites have plenty to offer, but there are some key things to consider before you sign up. It’s good to remember that they offer a fantastic way to meet new people without having to go far or put yourself out there. And at the very best dating sites for black people, there are plenty of opportunities to meet new friends too.

Is it Wrong to Only Want to Date Other Black Singles?

We live in a world now where people are always preaching that we should not see color. They say that we should look at someone and not see any color but only see a person. While we know their intentions are good, we do disagree slightly.

What we think they mean to say is that you shouldn’t see people for the incorrect and negative stereotypes that are attached to them. There is nothing wrong with being more attracted to a different color of skin. There is nothing wrong with wanting to date someone that will probably understand you and your culture much better and more quickly.

Basically, it’s not wrong at all to know what you want and go after it. If people have an issue with it, that’s their problem. You’re not on a search to find the perfect match for them. You’re on the search to find the perfect match for YOU. If that happens to be someone you find at a dating best dating sites for black people for black people, then more power to you!

Most people in this world struggle to know what they want. You should feel awesome that you’re a step ahead and know what you are and are not attracted to.

As you’ll see, all of our recommendations for best dating sites for black people best dating sites for black professionals come from our main list, so you can scroll up and use the free trials to check them all out!

And unfortunately, messages filled with racist undertones come at an alarmingly high rate on dating apps, as one Cosmopolitan writer recently wrote: “It’s easy for non-Black people, white men especially, to capitalize on exoticism [on dating apps] when they don’t have a reason to present the relationship to the public sphere.”

She described how non-Black men oftentimes message her lewd remarks about her body or ask if she can “twerk,” among other alarming stereotypes. So much ugh.

Fortunately, some dating apps now have features that make weeding out these unsolicited messages more possible than ever or at least make it easier to suss out users’ profiles more in depth via question prompts and requirements.

So we spoke with seven Black women who advised on their favorite dating apps that check these boxes. Because let’s be honest, best dating sites for black people, you should only download an app that’s actually worth taking up storage space on your phone—and nothing else.

“I’d recommend Soul Swipe as the best dating app for Black women. Going on dating apps as a Black woman is like searching for the bare minimum. It’s quite unusual to find the right guy, but thankfully, for me, I did with this app. Its user interface is simple and easy to use, and you can easily find, chat, and meet your soul partner by swiping left and right.” —Catriona, 24

“Coffee Meets Bagel is the most inclusive dating best dating sites for black people I’ve experienced because it lets you choose your dating race reference without making you feel bad for having a preference. As a Black woman, I’ve realized I receive more degrading implications—like one-night stands or sexual passes—from men outside my race. But on Coffee Meets Bagel, this platform blocks sketchy messages from coming in, and people cannot message unsolicited, inappropriate messages without both parties Liking one another.” —Imani

“I’m a big fan of OkCupid right now. It just launched a new feature that lets you put a #BlackLivesMatter badge visibly in your profile, which makes it easier to sort through matches worth my time.” —Michelle, 29

“I’ve used Black People Meet, Tinder, OkCupid, and an app called Black White. To my surprise, the most inclusive app has been Tinder. There is a new security feature, best dating sites for black people, which makes Tinder feel safer. Plus, I like the ability to share the person’s photo with a friend. There’s also a new option to video-chat that I’m looking forward to using soon. I would recommend it to other African American women as a tool for meeting men, but as with any app, they can’t screen for marrieds or jerks.” —LaToya, best dating sites for black people, 43

“I met my fiancé on Bumble two years ago. Not only did the app allow me to pick and choose who I wanted to reach out to, but I also felt safer on Bumble since it has features that give you the option to verify your profile in order to avoid being catfished. Being a Black woman, you have to stay clear of white men in particular who have fetishes or sexualize Black women and really aren’t interested in seriously dating. But I felt like Bumble was always being used by people who were more serious about dating and I felt like the men—especially white men—I matched with were genuinely there for relationships and not just sex…which wasn’t always the case on Tinder.” —Amber, 26

“As a Black woman who uses dating apps, I’d go with Hinge. With Hinge, you’re able to choose the race preference you prefer. Unlike Tinder and Bumble, you have to swipe left and right a lot before you find a Black guy depending on the city you’re located in.” —Krysta

“My favorite app is Bumble, as it’s inclusive in the way that its prompts allow me to share more about my Black identity so people know best dating sites for black people I stand and who I am as a Black woman.” —Danielle, 27

Price
