Black People Meet Reviews

First off, I’ll admit I’d tried this dating service 3 times. The first two times were no good - just spammers and profile views. Then I decided to give BlackPeopleMeet a go for a 3rd time, and believe it or not, I didn’t strike out. I was contacted by a woman who liked my profile. And actually said as a comment that I have a nice smile. Mind you, I thought she was a bot when she messaged me, but I’d been single for so long I somehow thought indulging this person would be some kinda entertainment. Turns out she was very real and the craziest thing about it was that she lived in the same city as my sister, who had moved out of our home state 4 years prior. From the 1st day we’d met (September 15, 2019) to now, we’ve been each other’s best friend. And as of July 17, 2021, she is my wife.

Online dating is always risky. Heck even I’ll admit I got lucky. How was I supposed to know that one day the perfect woman for me would fall into my lap and show me I actually do have a love life to look forward to? I know this is long-winded but I just had to get the point across that this app actually helped me find my soulmate. And I really couldn’t be any happier.

Black people meet is filled with some pretty decent people I’m sure. I have conversed with some nice ladies here and there and I am overall satisfied with the rapport I have built there. Outside of that, I am a little disappointed with how things work on the site. For instance whenever my subscription is at an end I get flooded with emails and winks and flirts that I never got when I was paying. The fact that the designers would think I’m stupid enough to believe that 50 women all of a sudden became interested in one day simply insults my intelligence. The next thing that bothers me is that I always get feedback from women that I never flirted with or never saw before which is disturbing to me. This means that when I swipe or interact with BlackPeopleMeet in any way it is communicating with people behind my back. This puts me in a very awkward position because I’m not a mean person but sometimes I have to just delete interactions with people that I never talked to in order not to get him false hope. I get bludgeoned when people are not interested in me and I take it in stride, but I’m not really the type of person to drop a load of bricks on somebody or lead somebody on so I don’t talk to them at all. I wish that they would just run an honest business and stop trying to scam people.

This is my second time using BPM and I’m sorely disappointed. I think what this boils down to is that I’m overqualified to be on this particular app. I’m an educated professional woman who is cerebral, financially stable and at a good place in my life. I am seeking an equally educated partner with a broad life experience. The vast majority of my recommended matches were uneducated blue collar workers who smoke, or use drugs. There was no way to filter potential matches.
My other frustration is the frequency of recycled recommended matches. I would pass on profiles and a few days later, they would be back as a potential match. Also, after setting up my profile, I was unable to change my search distance. This may have decreased the amount of recycled matches.
Lastly, this is the most antiquated app I’ve used. The features are challenging and setting up a quality profile took more time than it should have. I’m guessing this is why most of the profiles I saw had the bare minimum usually just location and a picture or two.
I appreciate having an app dedicated to Black people, it could and should be so much better.

BlackPeopleMeet is terrible! It’s poor in quality. When I set preferences in who can contact me in my account settings, it was ignored. I’m in my thirties and men over 50 flooded my account. They also, deleted my profile greeting stating that I used an inappropriate word. I didn’t use any offensive language in my profile and I’m very respectful. When asked why they deleted my profile greeting I got very vague answers. The customer service I received was intolerable, so therefore I cancelled my membership. When asked for a refund I was denied and I only subscribed for a total of 7 days out of a 3 month subscription. What a joke! Don’t waste your time or money! You will regret it. The features on here are useless. They don’t ask you any match-making questions, so how is this a dating app??? I have been on other dating sites/apps and this was my least favorite. Oh, and by the way during my subscription I was locked out of my account for 1 day without any explanation. The next morning my account was up and running. Stay away! There are other dating sites/apps way better then this nonsense.

Easy app!! Hate the flirting option! Dumb and meaningless! Needs to require a profile pic cuz someone flirting or messenger you like that is scary! Otherwise ok app.

I gave 2 stars because if you pay through Apple the payment isn’t posted until 48 hours and your account will expire and you will not be able to respond to any messages! I think this is some major BS as if you have paid then BPM and Apple need to be better synced to register your payment. Only way to contact Apple is email and BPM seems to not give a F@&k!! A you can do is wait and hope it gets resolved.

BlackPeopleMeet is horrible! Straight trash!!! I would never expect an app that required a paid subscription to be so poorly constructed. There are free dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble that far exceed Black People Meet when it comes to quality, functionality, and search criteria. BlackPeopleMeet seems like something a beginning app developer just threw together and slapped a fee on as a way to make quick easy cash. The developer clearly had no integrity. The preview I saw that made me decide to try BlackPeopleMeet in the beginning was definitely deceiving. Search criteria and preference means absolutely nothing. BlackPeopleMeet will still show you babies and old men. The flirt and favorites option are pointless, BlackPeopleMeet allows user to create profiles without a profile picture or profile information (creepers), and there is no matching based on the preferences you selected. One is better off finding a more legitimate dating site because this one is not it. Save your money and look elsewhere.

After about 6 months in we were in love; but because I didn’t marry him 3 days after the first 3 weeks of meeting; he never got over it; he had proposed within 3 weeks of meeting; tried to marry me 3 days later; I said yes to being engaged because we did actually Fall in love🥰💯😇😇
But I said No to getting married 3 days after such a quick proposal; he was crazy upset with me; I said let’s give it 6 months and if you still feel the same and I do too; we’ll get married, he was so disappointed, and we never got married; stayed together for 4 years, and now I have a Great Christian Friend for life. ( and we still are in love) who knows, we might just end up getting married one day🥰
Thank you

I joined BPM in Late September I met 2 really decent guys on thus site. I only went on 2 dates the first one had good conversation but when we went out the chemistry and vibe wasn’t there on my end. I still believe that he was a very decent/nice guy just not for me. The second date was surprising he wasn’t very talkative over the phone and his text were pretty dry. However I must say on the first date I really liked him and was very attracted to him. We are still very much connected, the chemistry and vibe is still flowing. He is definitely holding my attention and I hope that we continue to move forward to bigger and better things in the future. No Regrets !!!

Not sure what I paid for, if you join for free you see all these messages you can’t read. You pay to read messages only to find out it’s the same person that liked all your 10 photos, or who swiped right or flirted and created a generic message saying “I like what you said in your profile “. It’s true the older men over 50 hit us in our 30s often, they are the only ones to write a real message too. The last draw and me canceling my profile 15 days in was when Black people meet deleted my profile summary because I mentioned I pay. My words “ I decided to join a site that isn’t free in hopes to meet someone who isn’t looking to just get in my bed, save the for POF” so just that edit they defeated everything and said rewrite my profile, well just like that they have lost a customer earlier than I had planned. I didn’t think I’d ever say tinder is better but it actually is... smh

Please revamp BlackPeopleMeet to attract more people and give it a more attractive look. It’s very outdated especially compared to other popular apps on the market. There should be more black people on here than there currently is at this time. I’m seeing way too many guys in my city going for white women or non-black. That’s alright but make BlackPeopleMeet more appealing for those who want to find black love. I want to see this company do a lot better and BlackPeopleMeet is basically the face of the company, since most people use their cellphones. Give us something better because a lot of love connection opportunities are getting missed. Isn’t that your mission, to help people find love? Also, the colors and logo are a bit hideous and further the outdated feel to BlackPeopleMeet .

Update: not changing the stars because BlackPeopleMeet is still really bad, but excited to say that I met someone and this might actually work out. I know we never would have met without BlackPeopleMeet even though we live literally 3 minutes away from one another. So grateful to have met him. I’m happy!

BlackPeopleMeet and the website reminds me of MySpace. It’s just old and outdated and now BlackPeopleMeet is experiencing a lot of glitches. I have to log on to the site via my computer sometimes because BlackPeopleMeet won’t load content. I also tried getting on the website from my phone, and it says my credentials were wrong, yet it let me login on the computer using the same information.

Lol I thought the reviews were just bitter unattractive people but that’s not the case i’m gorgeous and I must say this was a WASTE of my money. I want a refund. If you want to meet people that’s in Texas, Alabama, FL, New York pretty much everywhere but where you are then this is perfect for you. I barely get messages from actual locals in ATL. Most of the profiles on here are people who thought it was free then realized they couldn’t message folks so they abandoned their profile. Most of the guys on here just send you flirts on here rather then actually stimulating messages. Im 28 I don’t mind older men but if you’re in you’re 20s and want meet singles in their 20s this isn’t the site for you. I can’t login on BlackPeopleMeet so I can only check it from my computer. BlackPeopleMeet gives me an error message this was truely a waste of money. I’m canceling my membership after this month is up.

Only took me about an hour of having BlackPeopleMeet to realize it is a scam. I didn’t even pay for a subscription (thank god), but I started to realize that the same bios were being recycled in my feed of “You May Like” potentials. You can’t message people that you’ve supposedly matched with, without a pay wall. The commercial lied. I am convinced that even the positive reviews on here have been bots from BlackPeopleMeet . This is appalling for a number of reasons. But the scariest one is that the photos of people on BlackPeopleMeet seem real, so that means that BlackPeopleMeet keeps your photo and name and just completely changes everything in your profile to make you just another bot for their algorithm and it is DISGUSTING. I am so disappointed and offended that BlackPeopleMeet that is so heavily advertised as the dating app for black people is just one big scam.

I have never been able to log in to BlackPeopleMeet though I'm able to login to the webpage. So I'll give a review of the webpage.

It's the most inferior dating site that I've used and I've used many. For me, POF is hands down the best site and app. Very simplistic, they way it should be.

The BPM website is the worst. I keep getting the same matches over and over. If I say no to any match, that should be the end of it. Don't show me that person again.

The way the website is constructed you accidentally send flirts just by scrolling. Terrible design. Then scrolling through the matches, without going into their profiles, shows that person you've been on their page which is BS.

Then trying to go through pics without hitting an ad is a problem. Trying to view pics in general is irritating.

This is a horrible site all around. I'm going to remove the option for automatic renewal, but of course I have to go onto my computer to do it because it won't allow me to do it on the website using my phone which makes no sense. I don't know who owns this site, black people or not, but you need to get this crap together. Scrap it and start over. Check out POF to see how it's done.

You get the same matches everyday (even though I live in a metro area) and apparently you show up in areas with low singles because I have men who try to match with me that live more than three states over. Unlike other apps it doesn’t let you hide who you don’t want to match with. I also hate how un-user friendly how BlackPeopleMeet is. For the first week all I met was a 50+ men that wanted a young girl to shake up with. I eventually found the filter that makes it so that only a certain age could search for me.

I wanted to support black businesses and was tired of matching with men I wouldn’t date so I joined and paid for 3 months, better believe once my 3 months are over I’m deleting BlackPeopleMeet . Also, remember to take it off reoccurring payment or you will get a surprise bill.

BlackPeopleMeet was not what I thought it would be. The functionality is trash and BlackPeopleMeet doesn’t accurately filter your criteria.

I was immediately turned off by the fact that you have to log onto the actual website to make changes to your profile/account, and I thought it was stupid that you HAVE to subscribe in order to read messages. I will be deleting my account asap. Speaking of which, you can’t delete your account on BlackPeopleMeet , you have to log onto the website to do that also. I logged onto the website from my phone to see if I could delete my account that way, but I couldn’t find the remove/delete profile option anywhere! So now I have to log onto the website from a computer to see if I have any luck that way SMH. Too much work for such a crappy app!

In my opinion BPM is more business focused than connecting people. You must pay for a subscription in order to use 99% of the features in BlackPeopleMeet /website.

As a woman my interactions were with a lot of uneducated older men (50s and 60s). I don’t understand why I kept seeing the same matches after “passing” on them multiple times. I like the idea that it is geared towards people who want to date Black people I just wish the experience was better.

The website provides more detailed information about the users/matches when compared to BlackPeopleMeet . BlackPeopleMeet feels subpar.

None of the profiles are verified. There are several accounts without pictures or have pictures of objects instead of themselves. There are several accounts that appear to be bots they differ in the photos posted but have the same information written exactly in their profiles.

I deleted my profile after one month. I would have done it sooner if BPM allowed me to do so.

The one plus side to BPM is great customer service.

I’m paying for BlackPeopleMeet only to see the same guys over and over... even after saying I’m not interested, they still show up... I even change locations to see if there’s any difference.... there isn’t! One day into using BlackPeopleMeet , I cancelled my subscription so it wouldn’t renew... you have got to do better... I live in the Midwest, so I’m sure there’s more than 30 guys here, and yet, that’s all I see... no matter how you change your preferences, it’s still the same 30 guys... I can have access to 30 or more guys just going out... online, I SHOUKD have more options.... please fix it... this site is causing me to feel some kind of way because there’s only a few guys available and hardly any of them ACTUALLY want to meet.... what a mess!

Okay so seeing this pop up on my tv had me wanting to try something new. I’m sure you think BlackPeopleMeet is going to be fully developed like tinder, meetme and all other sites but of course not. You have to actually go online on the internet rather than on BlackPeopleMeet to fill out information about yourself. What’s the whole point of having an app when it’s supposed to make things easier? Next, you have to pay to actually speak to people. What type of mess is that? BlackPeopleMeet is not even fully developed but I need to pay ? TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE? No sir. This is why black businesses fail because they want us to pay out of pocket when it’s free else or cheaper elsewhere. If they wanted to make money you could have charged to get BlackPeopleMeet but not to message people. Absolutely trash.

I’m a white guy that has always found myself attracted to black women. Somewhat unsure if this site was going to exclude me for said reason, I was quickly satisfied when several flirts came into my inbox. I'm happy with the fact that BlackPeopleMeet is very specified but actually open to anyone that may be looking for something very particular.

Yes there are a few areas that could use a little help, but all in all it’s a pretty good site.. I met 3 people on here and all 3 were actually great men. But only 1 stole my heart❤️.. I would say it is a little weird when 50+ yr old men are consistently “flirting” or “interested” but I received the same from 25 yr old as well.. neither which myself at 33 was interested! So that’s an area the needs assistance, you should be allowed to create an age range where your profile will not show just to avoid the embarrassment.. also, I don’t think you should be able to have a profile with no pictures at all, in my opinion! But like I stated I was fortunate enough in 6 months to meet some really nice guys, none in which I would’ve crossed paths with anywhere else. Ending, thanks BPM for allowing me the opportunity to connect with my “future”... xo

In the three months of which I was a paid member, I received for five views per day on average. Right before my subscription was two and I started getting 50 and 60 views per day! It leads me to believe that 1) Black people meet hold your profile from everyone to see unless you become a repeat spender or 2) they out right lie about how many people are viewing your profile. I think it’s a combination of the two.

Also, why do I keep seeing the same people all the time in the are you interested portion? If I say that I am not interested in someone why do I repeatedly see them again and again and again? Also, if I state that my age preference is 47 to 62 why am I getting profiles of 35-year-olds???
IF I COULD GIVE BlackPeopleMeet NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD!!

As a paid subscription me never, I have to say the interface of BlackPeopleMeet is horrible. I remember being a member in 2008 when everything was driven from a desktop experience rather than a mobile app. And in 11 years there have been no updates compared to other dating apps. Each morning I go through my daily matches and within 2hrs I am presented with THE EXACT SAME matches again. Also the low response rating is based on me not responding to people I am not interested in who don’t meet the requirement of at least being local. As a woman navigating this site, you’re doing a terrible job. I rejoined hoping for a better experience than Tinder or Bumble but alas, it is no different.

I’m sure this could possibly be a good app, but it has too many issues for anything above 1 star. The same exact men, in the same exact order, all on the same day are constantly being displayed after I’ve swiped left (the red x) many times. It’s ridiculously annoying. I’ve saved my search criteria many times, yet it does not register any men outside of the age range in which I’m interested are also constantly in the search. Why give you the option to have preferences if it’ll display whatever it wants!?!? I feel that I’ve wasted $21 on BlackPeopleMeet when it doesn’t follow/display any of your preferences. IM SO SICK OF SEEING THE SAME MEN ALL DAY, EVERYDAY, OUTSIDE OF MY DESIRED AGE RANGE THAT IVE ALREADY SWIPED NO TO.....UGH!!

The last day as a member I had over 60 flirts . I never had that many in one day. I corresponded to one flirt and the person stated he didn’t send any flirt. This makes me think that bpm sent these flirts. What a waste of time it’s been. Scammers and profiles you have to weed out. No pictures is a bummer. BPM should make sure these men are legitimate we as members should not have to deal with fraudulent folks. This is a dating site for mature people. This kind of nonsense gives BPM a bad experience. I personally would never use this site again. I also requested ages between 65-72 and got responses from men 50-55. Some of the pictures of the men were ridiculously displayed.
