What Is Senior Black People Meet? 

This online dating site aims to connect mature black men and women to their perfect match. Unfortunately, it’s limited to the United States and Canada, so if you’re based elsewhere, you’re out of luck. This review will explore how you join and use the site, how much it costs, and any safety features or concerns. We will also answer some FAQs and explain our rating in the conclusion below. 

Pros

• Easy and free to register.

• Subscriptions are affordable.

• No email spam (only one daily email).

Cons

• Messaging is paywalled; you can’t even view your inbox with a free account.

• Outdated website design.

• Auto log out after 5 minutes of inactivity (although this could also be a pro, depending on your situation).

Login Process

The registration process is reasonably quick and easy and asks for all the usual information like your gender and the gender you’re seeking, your location (US or Canada), birth date, email address, and password. 

You’ll need to verify you’re a human by doing a CAPTCHA, and then you’re prompted to add a photo, but you can skip this and complete it later. Next, you need to write a little about yourself, and you’ll be offered the chance to subscribe right away. There’s no email verification necessary. 

Because of the auto-logout, you’ll become intimately familiar with the site's page. All you need to do is enter your email address and password to re-enter the site.

Profile Completion

In addition to the usual profile fare like height, children, occupation, and star sign, profiles on SeniorBlackPeopleMeet also have some unique questions. These include selecting your top interests/hobbies from a list, answering personality questions, and selecting Message Starter Ideas. 

The Message Starter Ideas are questions you choose to display on your profile, and visitors will be encouraged to answer one or more of them. This will allow you to learn more about them and start a conversation simultaneously. These make for more interesting profiles, and knowing how to start the conversation right from the start is convenient.

User Account Quality

The other users seem genuine, with a diverse range of potential matches to search through. Naturally, most users are over 50 since it’s a dating site for seniors, and most users have photos. It’s a smaller website, so there aren’t as many other members, which is a source of many negative SeniorBlackPeopleMeet reviews online. Generally, profiles are about 50% complete, if not more, which makes for a pleasant browsing experience.

Dating Features 

Matches

The Matches feature is a way to browse through potential partners on the site and easily send them a flirt, which lets them know you’re interested. It also adds them to your flirts list so that you can easily find their profile again later. You’ll see their profile picture, name, age, location, and when last they were active to help you make an informed choice. 

Who Do You Like?

The homepage has another match-finding method: the Who Do You Like feature. This tool shows you two profiles and asks you to choose which one you like most. Liking their profile will also send them a flirt, which notifies them of your interest. One downside is that you must be subscribed to see who flirts with you, meaning that if they’re free members, they won’t know that you sent the flirt.

Search Criteria

You can easily specify a few criteria that you’d like your partner to fulfill on any of the search pages. Using these, you can specify an age range, which location/city they should live near, and whether you require them to have photos or not. You also have access to more options, all for free, including their height, smoking habits, ethnicity, religion, etc. With this, you can find your perfect African-American match on the site.

Prices & Costs

Senior Black People Meet uses a freemium model, where registration is free, but certain perks are locked behind a subscription. The perks include:

• Reading and responding to messages

• View who’s liked you

• View who’s favorited you

The subscriptions are available for:

• 1 Month: $16.99

• 3 Months: $8.99/month (billed as $26.97)

• 6 Months: $6.49/month (billed as $38.94)

The 6-month subscription has an additional perk: your profile will be highlighted in yellow to help you stand out. This subscription is very reasonably priced compared to most other online dating sites.

How Safe Is SeniorBlackPeopleMeet?

Verify Account With Mobile Number

After you’ve logged in, you may get a prompt to verify your account. This is done by submitting your mobile number and entering the OTP that is texted to you. It’s not the most foolproof account verification because all it actually proves is that you’re a human being with a mobile and a US number, but it’s better than nothing.

Report and Block Users

If someone is acting inappropriately or suspiciously, you can report them. You can find the report button on their profile page. This allows the customer service or moderation teams to investigate the situation and suspend or terminate the user’s account if necessary. You can also simultaneously block the user, which means they can no longer send you messages or view your profile, which will help keep you safe.

Final Thoughts

Senior Black People Meet is a perfectly good dating site option if you fit the demographic and live in North America. While the site design is reminiscent of the 90s, this may make it easier and more familiar to the older singles for whom it is designed. It’s relatively easy to use and is very well-priced. 

Safety features like blocking and reporting suspicious users help users avoid scammers or catfish. It loses points for logging you out after only a few minutes of inactivity and the fact that you can’t even access your inbox to see who’s messaged you with a free account. However, despite these minor drawbacks, we rate them 7/10 and recommend checking it out.
