“Found my mate”

K J.
9/2/20

After rumbling through a few profiles, one stuck out with a question... Do I work for transit? Lol Talking to him was like having a twin sister, we clicked instantly with our personalities, interests in same things, etc. Sometimes you gotta be patient and the right one will find you.

“Fake Profiles”

Ann H.
10/26/24

Don't waste your time on this site. All these paid clients have the same old storyline. Save your money, their stories are so similar, their photos are fake, they lie to get the you paying for a subscription. Do your homework concerning this site and most men live hundreds of miles from your location.

Several of the profiles have identical comments! I've had people reply to comments that I NEVER sent. It's all very suspect!

They advertise one price but when you give your credit card info you'll pay double that price with no receipt!

My profile is REAL; I'm REAL. I actually met 3 guys on the site; and I have the phone numbers of 2 others. One of the 3 and myself hit if off quite well; and we are still in touch... HOWEVER, there are some "not so good" men on this site. You see their profile... then you don't. Some of their profiles are VERY similar in content (even with the SAME NAME); some don't have profile photos, and when you ask for it, a FLIRT is sent making it seem as if I am interested; this also happens when you go to "My Daily Matches" "Who Do You Like" and "I'm Interested". Now, giving me the option to decide has been taken away from me AND it's sending the wrong message. If I don't actually "click" on a profile, don't send the members under these categories a "View" from me; because I didn't view them.And another thing: women's picture are showing up under "Who Do You Like" and "New Members In Your Area." I DON'T ROLL LIKE THAT! I'M STRAIGHT/HETEROSEXUAL/LOVE MEN!' And when I send an email regarding these issues, and if they respond, they don't EVER address the issues! Now, I can't login (the error message says "the connection is not private" and I was just on the site last night and on the phone with one of their representatives yesterday! When I called the number just a little while ago, it AUTOMATICALLY disconnects. I have been with this site, off and on, since 2015; and my current subscription ends on March 31.

Their system is WAY out of date; and no one seems to care!

Unfortunately many scam artists from other parts of the world with thick African accent telling stories of richness then suddenly sold land in Denmark to Dubai person who paid in diamonds to tune of 7.5 million then was heOf at the airport with the diamonds on flight to the USA and will need lawyer and need 9500 dollars to be sent to a Texas account which will be sent to an Arab Lawyer in Dubai to represent him and you will be Cosignatory to the account until the money is cleared, Fake affidavit with account was sent. Theses look real., also fake travel itinerary. The scam deepens when other fake accounts with over 20 million dollars in BofA in the states was sent to prove how wealthy he is. Later on he moved in for the big one through the fake Imperial Bank manager alias P Jackson instructing to open Commercial account in tune if $*******to unfroze the 7.5 Million dollars. A lot of things did not add up and he was confronted with this. This is a big schemes with lawyers, notaries, children, Fake disabled people, many telephone untraceable numbers and fake business in Ohio. Luckily this scam was found out in time and the authorities were notified. Be wary of De B. Please be careful. Have a monitoring company if you go on these sites to monitor for any fraudulent transactions towards your name.

I have been on the site since April 2016 and will be discontinuing my subscription in 2017. It is nice if you want to just get out sometimes to meet people. I have met some nice quality Black men on the site and know of people who actually met their husbands/wives on dating sites, but I have met more jerks than anything on this one (not looking like their picture at all (posting 10 years+ pictures), only wanting sex, lying about their age and situation and just not having their lives in order.) I have also tried eharmony and match and my experience has been other Black people on those sites are looking for the "other" and don't want a relationship with a Black person (I have also heard this from other Black people)

I suggest look up a person on your state court websites, GOOGLE their name, Facebook or Linkedin accounts, background check subscriptions as you ask the important questions. With the internet, it is easy to find out about a person, it just takes some time.

The interface is terrible, I hate the flirts, they serve no purpose and should be removed from the site, along with the automated messages. If a person likes your picture, they should be forced to send a regular email communicating like people should do and not hide behind those stupid automated messages.

I understand they need ads but the ads are all over the place and interfere with the viewing of the site, the algorithms they use need to be updated. Fortunately I have not had problems with being over charged, but have heard that from other people i have met. To me this shows the owners of this site are making money without any effort. I wish they could verify the users. Sadly a lot of people use it so they have no need to do better.

This site should be called meetaloser.com. The men I have met are liars. They don't want a relationship or a good woman. They are on the site all day hunting for women like an animal stalks its prey.
Avoid LUCKYCHARM4U, NOTTHEAVERAGE, RAVENSMAN all prey on woman!

You all need to seek help and stop voting Donald Trump and stop supporting Kanye West (now known as Ye) and Kyrie Irving

Sadly your CEO and everyone below shows Martin Luther King Jr. And Muhammad Ali are still right, hate and racism is still alive and well

I post a photo description served under two Presidents and treated this way?

You all aren't medical doctors so you and nobody else on Earth was smart enough or spiritual enough to help my family and save my wife's life if so I would never have been on BPM I'd be spending time with my family

You aren't Americans and your hate and racism needs sent into space sad your lives are Godless heartless without love

Walmart founder Sam Walton Jeff Bezos Bill Gates Elon Musk Mark Zuckerberg Larry Page/Sergey Brin google founders are about inclusivity

Tip for consumers:

Black People Meet feels like many other sites when you start, but disappointment can set in pretty quickly.
For instance, I was often given alleged "matches" that were quite far from my chosen criteria, including 20 years younger than what I was looking for, and 100 miles further away than I wanted.
Also, there are some technical features which need improvement. A member can log on and do nothing and the site tells others that the member is online, but the person does not respond. You learn that just because someone is listed as being online doesn't mean that the person is actively engaged in using the site. There should be an inactivity shutoff so that someone cannot appear to be online for hours or even days without actively using the site.
Another problem is multiple profiles of the same person. One day, my "Today's Matches" contained 3 profiles which were all from the same person, with identical pictures and text! Evidently when a member forgets his/her profile and cannot access it, it stays "active" even when the person creates a new profile. This is ridiculous!
Another issue is profiles of different people with verbatim verbiage, leading to the conclusion that someone is providing canned phrases, sentences and paragraphs for use by inarticulate people. This is particularly annoying, because I like to see how a person expresses himself, in his own words.
Worse yet, it appears that Black People Meet tries to play Cupid by randomly sending flirts. Many times I have had people respond to flirts they allegedly received from me which I never sent. I NEVER send flirts because they are canned messages and I prefer to express myself in my own words... more honest and gives potential matches more to go on in terms of learning who and what I am...

Ladies do your self a favor and do not spend your money or your time on this site. The men here are looking for sex primarily, they will lie to you about their status and what they are seeking in a potential mate. Their are individuals on this site that have mental health disorders that range from depression, narcissism, asperger's syndrome, boarder line, sociopathic and psychopathic which means they will lie, deceive, manipulate to get what they want you to them are the next meal ticket, victim or supply source. Some on this site have no intention of having a serious committed relationship ever, accompanied by sexual addictions and or an extreme dislike for women. Now if you only want a good time and have similar issues than this site is for you. But if you are seeking a healthy serious relationship which leads to marriage then this site is not for you. If you are attractive, beautiful as well as young, naive, have low self esteem or worth you will be fodder for these fellow. Men are men they hunt and when they hunt your feeling do not matter. Keep your panties up and go out and just have fun if you can't bear to find a guy using other methods. Another warning: Some men may have the big house, the nice car, great job, education, and even retirement benefits. They seem older wiser and intelligent. They know what women are looking for and use the package to blind you from seeing them for who they really are: broken, self Centered, having a midlife crisis, having gone to prostitutes in the past, cheated on their ex-wives and wondered why she left and unable to see that the real issue in them not finding so called Mrs. Right is them.
Keep it in prospective: You have what they want never give it up unless you are willing to pay the consequences for it.and ladies it will not lead to a relationship. Go out have them pay for dinner, drinks what ever. Because if you ever give in that totally stops as most are still dating other women and you have now become a notch on the belt they don't have to conquer. You have been warned.

The men on that site need to be shipped onto a island by themselves.

Guy#1 Met one guy who continuously complained about his baby mama. After the third date he told me 'you gotta go easy cuz it's rent week this week' I offered to help with the costs of dates straight off the bat. Who wants to hear that when you are getting to know someone? He then insisted that we should continue to date but at his place. Whaaaaaatttt?

Guy #2: Continuously talked about the number of degrees he had, as if they were glued to his back or he wore them like a cape. We had a mild debate about womens' clothing - he snapped at me for not choosing to wear whore-ish clothing and abruptly hung up after a rude tirade

Guy#3: Met a very attractive dude. We had great conversations for about a week before meeting. The first date he asked me to pick him up. He indicated that he could not get through the snow. I said no because I think that if two people are mutually interested they should find a point to meet that is a public place, especially if it is the first date. He seemed salty but we finally made plans for the next day. We had a great lunch, talked for a long time. He then told me he was planning to go to his friend's house, then he said he had to run to his daughter's house. I said 'ok', but I felt like I was being brushed off. Spoke with him the next day and again had a great conversation. All the while, I noticed that his calls/texts got less. He eventually vanished. Not sure why but I believe he is STILL HUNG UP ON HIS X. He went on about her physical attributes etc etc.

Too many bitter and angry dudes hang out there. I am a bubbly happy person that is always making fun of bad situations.

Overall not a quality set of dudes on this site at all. Maybe the new year will bring some fresh pickings, unlike the rotten crops that manifest themselves there now.

I was on blackpeople meet in 2013. Met men from all over the country. I was disappointed at first. Got off. I tried it one more time and then I met this person who turned out to be very crazy! I rushed to get off the site. I get a message from someone. I paused and saw he lived near me in Texas. Very attractive, he's atrracted to me. We talked for months. I found out he had the same diapointments I had and was rushing to get off as well. We had so much in common. We finally met it was August 2013. We became unseperable! We know that it was meant for us to meet. He is the most loving man I have ever met. You know that you know it is love! Well we are in our 2nd year together. Engaged and love each other dearly.
What I am saying to any of you who gets on this site. If you are truly looking or hoping to meet your soul mate. You will have to really search yourself, be patient, you will know when it's time to get off the site. Listen to what is being said to you. Use good sense if you have good sense you can easily discern if someone is deceiving you. I wish you all luck.
By the grace of God, we found each other at this time of our lives. Who would have thought that I would be saying thank you blackpeoplemeet. I Finally can say after all these years I feel loved and I can let the love that I have always wanted to express in my hear to someone who excepts me as I am unconditionally. Where there is God, there is Love.
I love you Michael.

Tip for consumers:
It's a roller coaster at first, the excitement ,the rush of getting the attention,
Be yourself.don't settle. Treat people with respect. be careful.
