BlackPeopleMeet

I am a woman looking for a certain type of man. I see a lot of white men on this site along with men living far away from where I live. This site is becoming filtrated with gay people! Its littered with unattractive men. I met one man out, and he was not looking like his profile. The cat fishing is real! I will not pay for another three months of this again. The same men over and over.

I'm a current (on and off) paying member of this site. I don't recommend it as a meet option to my friends as they are not as savvy with bait and trap sites such as BPM. Don't get me wrong, it's not impossible to meet a nice person on the site but the time, effort and hurdles one has to endure to meet such a person almost makes it not worth the effort, however, with some patience due diligence and plain ole common sense, you can make it work for you. So here i'll tell you some of the pits to avoid, what I don't like about the site followed by what I actually like about it.
First off, don't use a major credit card to purchase your membership, use a payment service site such as Paypal that will not share your financial information, I've never had an issue using this method. It is my belief that BPM does hold back views, probably as a push for their upgraded "Increase your Views" service that they offer. The reason I think this is, I've noticed that when I've allowed my membership to lapse my views increase 10 fold. I mean I personally get more than my fair share of views and flirts etc, but when my membership is over the emails that I get (which can't be read) are crazy high and I'd say that at lest 60% are genuine member messages. I've tested this theory several times and the results are always the same. So what does this mean for you? Well if your profile normally gets a lot of attention (emails, flirts, etc), then missing out out on the few that the site is holding back will really go un-noticed however if you're not accustom to receiving a lot of feedback from members interested in your profile, then the emails that they're hold back could be the reason you're not seeing the volume you were expecting.
I also notice that many many users (and I can only speak about the women, being that I am a man) fail to complete even half of their profile and I'm sure just as many guys do it but a well managed dating site wouldn't allow a uncompleted profile to get views at all (especially with no photos). I feel like I've wasted a lot of time opening profiles with little to no basic information given about the person I'm trying to view. The same can be said about photos, the site should monitor and approve photos posted on profiles. We (men and women) shouldn't have to view photos of houses, cars, animals, scenery, food, the list goes on and on. The site says it approves photos but if that's the case then they need to re-think what they (BPM) view as acceptable. I've also found the the 'site' will also send unsolicited flirts from your account to other members, possibly as a response boost (for them) to members who receive little attention from other members to prevent them from leaving the site (?).
One of the biggest flaws about this site are the scammers, there are far too many ways that a scammer can approach you for me to even begin to name them, just be smart and use your common sense and this might keep you somewhat safe. My personal methods that work for me to stay one step ahead of the scammers are: if they're asking for money, quickly ask for your number, want you to go to another site to talk, give numbers with area codes that don't match the city they live in, all these things to me say "scammer" and i'm quick to block. If I feel like i'm really connecting with a person, I set up for a public meet asap as scammers will not agree for a meet or will stall this as long as possible, because they just want you to send money and usually have no intention on meeting you.
Finally, what I do like about the site, I've been fortunate to meet some really wonderful women on BPM just not my 'muse' (yet), but because I'm alert, patient and prepared I can enjoy myself while at the same time avoiding all the bear traps afoot and I think everyone else can have the same experience.

I wish you the very best in your endeavor and I hope my review has been of some assistance.

It says black people meet, so where do all the fat Caucasian men come from? I can't believe this! They're wearing medical devices such as breathing machines they have big fat bellies, some with dog sitting on them. Caucasian men with animals carcasses in their hand, some Caucasian guy sitting on a horse. What the hell is going on with this site? Where do all these hideous Caucasian men come from and why are they on this site?

... I'm seeking men, in a particular age group, mines... they put women out for me, NOPE! Don't wanna experiment. The things that come out these dudes mouths, b4 u even talk to them. YEARS AGO, they were the bomb.com, don't do it, and if you put yur main card in there, they will kindly take out for next month, rather you want it or not... DON'T DO IT... not worth it, the selection of men... OMG, & you know how most black men talk/treat us... DON'T DO IT, & you welcome.

Don't believe messages are delivered. No feedback once you respond to a message. I believe it is a scam to get you to purchase tokens, boost your contact, etc. My experience has not been what I expected.
This is my second time tome joining this site. The first time was in 2007, I thought it would be different but it's not.

Hello,
I am getting A LOT of fake profiles. Why is this? I also get messages in my in box that say that I have "flirted" with someone which is not the case. I met this one guy with whom I connected and we were messaging. He didn't seem fake. But after two days without hearing back from him, I went into his profile. Lo and behold, it was taken off the website. It had me confused.

Fake dont join one month was enough they recycle the men, and a lot of the profiles are fake, they are generic they say the same thing. Lots of poor spelling same number of views, right around when it was time to renew suddenly 168 messages no way. I deleted my account photos and thankfully used a prepaid Visa so they cant come back and steal my actual account information.The men mostly no car no job live with there mom over the ages of in there late 50s.Run this isn't the way to.go black people meet owned by white couple do your research the commercial is nothing like what's on the actual site, they have professional looking attractive people on tv. Online its horrible men with missing teeth.Im attractive gorgeous teeth, on house car, nurse. I'm now dating in the real world good luck guys.

After "admittedly" being on the site, on and off for four years, I can honestly say I feel extremely ashamed that my family and friends even knew I joined. Only to come up short with no leads to finding that special someone. It wasn't all that bad in the beginning, and I kind of enjoyed all the attention. Now, it's a whole other story. All I get is men on continuously peeking in, giving me compliments etc., I did however go on two dates. And of course, neither JERK! Looked like his profile. Jacked up teeth, big guts, sloppy, etc., so not my style. I'm thrilled my membership is coming to an end. I will NEVER! Renew. I don't care of my of a "alleged" deal they will throw my way. Oh yea, the site if full of $#*! too. Go elsewhere.

I have subscribed to BPM twice over a two year period for six month time frames. I spent most of that time browsing the profiles of the same men over and over. I also found that most often even if I was interested in a person, they were non paid members who cannot respond to messages. For that reason I feel that BPM offers very few real opportunities to meet someone. Unpaid members are the majority of the so called daily matches they send, but what good is that if you really can't communicate with an unpaid member. Also, each time I was near the end of my subscription BPM would open my profile up to people far outside of the area I personally set in my preferences and bombarded my views with up to 50 or more views per day from men across the country. I feel that was a deceptive move to get me to reconsider not ending my subscription. I got more views in two weeks than the entire time I was on BPM. Overall, although I did meet a couple of men, there were very few real options and I would suggest a site where only paid members who can contact each other are on the site. Otherwise, it's just a picture gallery of men not really interested enough to pay but get accces to your profile for free. 2 stars only because I made one friend that I keep in touch with but he has made it clear " he is not interested in marriage", while I am searching for someone who is, we still communicate as friends. Don't waste your time on BPM if you're seriously looking for a partner...

The site itself is easy to navigate and has some nice features. The problem for me was the quality of women is deployable.

I'm a 56-year-old African American male. I am a professional software developer. I am a widower with no children and would rate myself based upon looks as a solid 7. I'm accustomed to dating professional women who most would describe as cute, attractive, intelligent women.

I found that most profiles on BPM weren't creative or complete. Most profiles consisted of headshots only or those with their butts being highlighted. The older women seem to be overweight, unstylish and not very attractive, in my opinion. The younger women seem to be stripper types i e long weave, tattoos and tight clothing. The only real difference between the young and old is that the young haven't gotten fat yet.

I would rate the average woman as a 4 in appearance. The age range that I targeted was 36 through 56.

I looked through hundreds of profiles and honestly did not find one woman that I thought would be worth sending a message. I didn't get the impression that most members are paying subscribers.

Joined for 30 days an all I find on there is a bunch of 2 dollar chicks trying to get fed a meal due to a past broken heart. Most send in 3-4 year old dated pics an some send neck up pics that don't show the bottom of there anatomy which generally means they are obese. Please join eharmony my black brothers as caucasino woman await us on there an plenty of fish as I'm soooo done with these hood rat black woman that don't know there $#*! holes from there elbows..

... when I tried this site several years ago; and quite frankly, I'm surprised it's still around. The men aren't the only "undesirables" on this site. There are plenty of women that leave much to be desired as well regardless of how they look or their accomplishments. All that glitters is not gold... not by a longshot, especially in the online dating world. Genuinely good women aren't crude or critical or superfiicial or shallow... and you eventually attract what you essentially are underneath the glitter. If you really don't understand the art of romance, then stop trying to meet romantic men; you don't understand them... and if you're a material status girl who knows the price of everything but doesn't know the value of anything, then stop trying to meet "honest men of character"; you don't deserve them and stop wasting OUR time. If you're a woman who hasn't packed her "baggage" away yet, then don't expect to meet the type of man who has... etc. Etc. So after a couple of months of playing online with "girls" of ALL ages, I met the Woman of my dreams the old fashioned way; just being out and about and catching a REAL vibe from a beautiful REAL woman with a genuine heart and a deep sense of community... but without preconceived judgments, delusions of granduer and superficial notions... or an I-phone stuck to her face. LOL

Most of the guys on BPM and SBPM are just looking for sex. Both sites are like sex sites. If they say they are legally separated, don't waste your time... they are usually married and cheating. Oh! Watch out for the religious one's and the opportunists. Either they are looking for someone to help them financially, sex is the big one and most of them have ED, liars, or nut cases. The one's who have been on here for years are looking for sex. Both of these sites are a waste of your time, ladies. Just a bunch of losers.

All 'stock' messages and no originality. I was almost flattered by all of the interest but quickly realized that every guy's comment, message or flirt was the same.

I have been on and off the site for 1 1/2 years, and have met two men in person. It did not go well. There are some men on the site, as you will see, have been on there for years and not made a connection. That is because they are not looking for a serious relationship and either wants a phone pen pal or sex. If it's your cup of tea, go for it. It's not me for, and I will not try it again. Even men out of state are treacherous and not serious. I will try my luck in the grocery store. :)

I think there are some good men on this site but my experience was not with one of them. I will not be a paid subscriber ever again. The guy I talked to for four months lived in Oklahoma, he seem to be nice in the beginning until he started talking sexual and then thought when we possibly met was going to perform oral sex on me. At least he was honest to let me know so I could kick him to the curb.

! I needed to share this with you

In December 2012 I did something that I couldnt believe. I signed up on black people. Com it was the best thing that I could of ever done for myself that $18.00 trail fee sign up was one of the best investments that could of ever taken place in my life. I met this wonderful man name Gregory v Johnson he was very open, to the point with what he was looking for in this life. He made me smile every day that we talked on the phone. I made him wait a week to see me and that first date was like stars with a back ground of water falls (wow). Never in my life thru it all, have I ever felt this way for any man. On that day I was open to miracles. My meaning of miracles had just took place Amen and that meaning was, an event by supernatural being (God) again lord Thank You for sending me someone that completes me. We left voicemails on black people. Com for them to call us so that we can tell our store of finding our true love, but with no return phone calls, we wanted to be in the contest and drawing that they offered. We are looking to get married on 07/14/2015 hoping all goes well.
Gregory v Johnson ask me to be his wife on 12/25/2013 and I said yes with tears
It has been very hard for us, Because I had a disease called (flicalties hair disease) it was on my face for the world to see and Gregory still was there for me. We are still paying for my treatments my face will be clearing up soon Amen. If there are any wedding programs that we can enter to help the cost with our wedding that would be wonderful or can we just be put on your wedding site showing the world that we found our true love on your website that would be great. My meaning of miracles is that they can come true.
Gregory v Johnson & LaTonya D Thornton would like to say thanks for your website and believing in love like we do! But please take out time to return peoples phone calls having great customer service is the key to success in business.
Respectful
Thank you for taken out time to read our story we have been together since our first date.

I decided to join an online dating site for the first time; I should have read the reviews first. When I first joined I had 90 views of my photo, 6 messages, and flirts. The site was also showing where I had flirted with men, this was not true. After I paid for the 1 month subscription all of the messaging, views, and flirts came to an end. I think they generate all of the activity on your profile to get you to spend money; which is a scam. The site needs to be cleaned up and attention given to the false entrapment and false attention given to their subscribers. BPM has the potential to provide a service but, to many false representations from the company, and their subscribers make BPM a bad choice.

The search engine is extreemly poor, the age is set from 18 to 120, there are no option to change this. There is absolutely no field for search criteria for education and income. I am a 52 yr old busy professional female, its a waste of my time browsing through profiles of men in their 30s, men who are not college educated, does not meet my income requirment and are simply not compatible.

Meet a man, went on one date and he tried to sleep with me. He was a really nice guy, so I gave him another chance before he asked me to co-sign for him, and asked me to buy him some Jordan shoes all in three weeks of knowing him. He rents his cars and tries using women into thinking that he is the best thing since sliced bread. After that 3 weeks, I deleted my profile, his phone number and never spoke to him again. I guess the feelings was mutual because he never called again after I told him I was not buying him anything.

I met the biggest best player on this site with photos still over 10 years old or more probably. His profile was exactly what I was looking for in a man and then after months of on and off interaction I finally realized I was just part of his "starting line-up!" Incredible! I wish there was way to ship all these guys to the player factory!

It shows that I viewed people who I have not. I can hide my profile and it shows how many people viewed it (how can they view a hidden profile). Good site but need to be honest. I have met friends which is a good thing but hope BPM will stop trying to make a sale by doing these sneaky inside jobs. I contact them but they are in denial.

I met someone on this site last year. We had good conversation for a whole year, and I thought things were going good until he did something that had me thinking he was involved so I decided to end the conversation.He tried hard to explain the situation but I wasn't trying to hear it. So a year later I received a text message and it said I miss talking to you. So I decided to talk to him again the conversation was good, he talks to much and the conversations be a little boring but he was a good listener and seemed to care. Long story short, he is a nationwide truck driver and he makes good money. He is very free hearted and if your in need of anything he would send it to you. So we decided to meet up, omg, when a man sends pictures to you make sure you ask him to smile and have someone actually take his picture. When I seen him he looked like he lost 100IBS and he was missing teeth and teeth was behind teeth and his breath was horrible. He looked like a dried up crack head with dreads. I was embarrassed to go any where to dinner with him but I went. He was a gentleman the whole time. He lives a secret life, he wouldn't talk to much about women in his pass and he had the names Shayla and Monique tattoo on his body. He said they were ex girlfriends. That was red flag number one. He started acting funny like I was the ugly one, seemed like he was uninterested. He said he would be back for Christmas which I wasn't looking forward to it, because I was turned off. After a week he had the nerve to stop calling, he would call in the Am and never night always said he didn't have reception in the area he was in. Then just stop calling, which was very very strange. Little do he know he did me a favor because he wasn't my type but he was nice, but I can't be with someone that doesn't take care of there self and besides what am I going to do with a truck driver he would never be home. I think he was involved and just like to travel while he's on the job to see if he could get some $#*!. I don't remember his screen name but he said his name is Arthur Johnson and he goes by AJ hes 49 and said he lives inATL. I think he lives in Alabama when I reviewed a back ground check. I should of not took the second call from.He was just a waste of time. Be careful with this one, he likes to start things and then vanish kinda wonder if he was gay also. I guess I was mad because he just stop calling, why wasn't he man enough to say I'm not interested. He wasn't even attractive and missing teeth, smh, men, lmbo.
