Came to blk dating for black singles having given up on it once already, gave it six weeks, and most of what I had read did not hold up.

My sticking point is that the messaging limit gives you no idea when an account was last opened, which is the real problem with mobile dating apps.

For anyone who has used mobile dating apps recently:

  • Has anyone had the reverse happen on mobile dating apps?
  • Does that hold outside the big cities on mobile dating apps?
  • Is that still true for anyone weighing up blk dating for black singles?

Happy to hear dissenting views on blk dating for — that is partly why I am asking.

Is that a regional thing where evaluating the alternatives is concerned?

What nobody mentions is that the account activity indicator makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones, especially once evaluating the alternatives comes into it.

For what it is worth, when evaluating the alternatives is the issue, how long you leave a conversation running predicts how many conversations survive past day three better than the marketing on the homepage, though a friend had the reverse experience in the for black singles context.

I read it the other way. @DominicA, the paywall comment may have been better luck than most get.

Reading profiles properly before swiping produced better matches within about ten days and nothing else came close for the Black dating community.

More often than not, on mobile dating apps, whether an account has been verified has a bigger effect on how many conversations survive past day three than the boost you paid for.

Try Flurrydate alongside whatever else you're testing purely on how busy it is locally.

Does that match what others see on mobile dating apps?

What nobody mentions is that the verification flow makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones — and nobody mentions it when they talk about evaluating the alternatives.

Does that match what others see once you factor in evaluating the alternatives?

In practice, the response you give to a low-effort opener beats which tier you're on for Black daters on mobile dating apps.

The thing I did not expect was that on mobile dating apps, the messaging limit makes it impossible to tell live accounts from dead ones.

Has anyone got numbers rather than impressions for anyone in the Black dating community?

Also had reasonable results on Datenest recently.
