“We are now Mr. And Mrs.!”

Elaine R.
11/14/23

My new husband and I met on Black People Meet three years ago. He had been on the site for awhile, and I had only been on for a short time. I came across his profile and emailed him. It seems that we had a lot in common, and we decided to exchange phone numbers. Eventually, we started to Facetime. In the meantime, I relocated to a new residence, and he came to assist me (we made sure we were both vaccinated, because this was during the Pandemic:-). I guess this was meant to be because we commuted for two years (we lived in different states). As for BPM, we had no problems with the site, yes, there were some unusual and unsavory profiles, but that was when I used the delete button, and the site would warn me about some inappropriate characters, as well. Neither of us had any problem with the payment nor the cancellations of services, once we found one another. All we can say is thank you BPM and we wish others the best in making their love connection!

“Site is full of Felons that play games and waste your time”

I've run across nothing but Felons on this site pretending to want a serious relationship. After giving this one particular guy 6 months of my time thinking we were moving in the right direction of something serious only to be lied to on more than one occasion. Sign up for this site at your own risk it's horrible.

I met my husband over 15 years ago on Blackpeoplemeet. We were both over fifty. We have been happily married for thirteen years. Our journey is the best love story ever!

Tip for consumers:
A lot of time you don't know what we want, But if we think about it we do know what we don't want. Always look for those qualities that you have and that you admire.

It has given me an opportunity to meet some really nice people. I've met a few questionable characters too but that's life. The staff alert me if someone has been kicked off for fraud.
This is better then meeting in a bar … I never do that.
I met on guy that I dated, a widower, who was not over his wife yet, but I liked him. It didn't work out but I would not change any thing in the way we met.

So I used BPM off and on in the past when I was on the dating scene. I met a few young ladies and made lasting friendships and eventually found the lady I'd end up marrying who's been an absolute gift in my life.
There are definitely a LOT of scammers and pretenders on there. Be careful!
And just like you want to meet the actual person you're communicating with, so do they, use a real and recent photo

Not sure what kind of issues everyone else has with bpm / site works just fine. Been a member for a few weeks and had two dates already. I've been told that blacksingles4u is also pretty good, so maybe I will also check it out next. But so far happy with bpm.

I actually had a great experience with bpm! (No I don't work for bpm :) the experience is a bit overwhelming because of all of the messages, the creeps, and the bs, but if you're patient, you will meet the right person. I met someone from the site who has been a blessing in my life and we've been together for 7 months now. He only lives 10 minutes away from me. If for some reason this doesn't work, i will go back to bpm. Hope this helps someone!

I was lucky enough to meet the best man in the world on this site 4 years ago. We started off slow... talked only by phone for 3 months. Met for dinner and have been together ever since. He proposed to me last May and our wedding is in September. Ladies... please use your natural woman's intuition when dating. Dont bother with men that say what the DO NOT want on their profile... too negative. This site worked miracles for me. I can for you as well if you use is wisely!

Don't look for perfection. When I first saw my husband on BPM, it wasn't love at first site. But we exchanged "picture likes," talked on the phone and then we met. He turned out the be the sweetest man I have ever met. We will be married in 11 days and I am so happy. If I could have sat down and written exactly what I wanted, I could not have done better than what God has done. Thank you God and BPM!

Just following up after my first review of BPM. I am in a committed, serious relationship (March 2016 was 2 years). With a wonderful, caring, supportive, gainfully employed man... I know there have been many negative posts about this site so I amjust one of the Blessed ones that he and I found each other on this site. Thanks you BPM..

So I started using bpm in 2015. Just like anyone else I was scared about using this site to meet random guys but I decided to sign up anyways. After my account was created and pictures for updated I began to receive several messages from random dudes who wanted to talk. Now I on the other hand never responded to them. What I did was to read their profiles. I eventually decided to respond to a few guys whom seem pretty chill to talk to. One day this one guy messaged me and we ended up hitting it off. So my focus now was on him n we spoke everyday since then. We decided to finally meet for the first time. I was scared to but to my surprise he wasn't a bad person but he started to become more weird during the two months I've known him and I didn't like it so I went back to the site. I wanted to give it another shot. I was then contacted by another guy whom I wasn't interested in because he wasn't my type but I decided to talk to him anyways and guess what he was awesome and a year later we are living happy together. So my thing is sometimes we go to these sites looking for what we expect the person to be instead of getting to know someone who r not in our expectations. My 2 cents.

I see a lot of horror stories on here but I also hear a lot of horror stories from "Traditional Daters"... BPM is what you make it... just because it's online dating that doesnt guarantee a Magical Experience... but in my case, IT DID! It can for you too... wishing you much love & happiness!

I have met some nice guys on BPM. I never sign up for more than 30 days and never with my credit/debit cards. I go out and purchase visa/MasterCard gift cards. Child plz. I signed up one month last year and met a well established man. Got to know him and he flew me out twice round trip (he better) and treated me like a queen. I don't know what went wrong but we talked off and on after second visit. Now he's retiring at 52. Bought a big house. Sold his smaller one. Doing everything in his power to get me back but its a wrap. Geminis only play with you for so long. So out of the two times I joined I met like 5 men and had no problem getting their numbers. I been wired money... 2 trips and begging like crazy to see me. One thing I'm not is desperate for a man. I gotten attention all my life. I just gotten out of 22 yr relationship and was desperate. Maybe if alot of u stop lying about ur weight and sending fake pics. U to could get lucky.

Good dating site and absolutely no freakin' clue why everyone's so negative 'bout it. Been a member for 3 months and had a few dates. Site works fine. Blacksingles4u is a good alternative if u havent been lucky on bpm. Worth a try instead of $#*!in' around 'bout bpm.

Met my husband on this site. I was on it for 1 day and he messaged me. We met in a public spot days later and we have been together since then. We met in March and married in November. We have been happily married for 4 years on November 5th.

I have to admit, it's been a couple years since I have been on this site. Yes, I agree with the ladies that complain there are a bunch of losers on the site but you're faulting BPM for that? You meet tons of losers on the street, as well as on other sites. Can't fault the dating site for having a bunch of losers.
Well, two years ago, when I was a paying member, a guy sent me a message asking me to call him. I wasn't attracted to him at all and tried to avoid him. The next day he saw me on the site again and asking if I was going to call him or not... what the heck... I did. Boy, I'm glad I did!
I have never dated a man that I love and respect as much as I do him! At the time, I was 42 and have never been married. I had almost given up on finding someone and I was ok with that but I still enjoyed going to dinner with nice guys.
We live about an hour away from each other, we made a date for the next day, Thurs, and he liked me so much he came back the next day. We've been together ever since.
We are grateful to BPM for bringing us together!
You can find true love on the internet!

I am currently a member of Black People Meet. I was very satisfied with this site. I connected with quality men in my Detroit, Michigan area. There were credible men who I met and dated. There are some questionable people but a red flag should go off. Some men use this site to meet women for illicit affairs ( a man told me this; I do not how true it is. However we are all adults!). But on any site, use good judgement and discretion. If you experience any concerns, you can contact a customer service representative on the toll free number of *******920 to speak to a live person.

BPM, SBPM & CBPM are all scam dating sites IMO. I have been reviewing those sites for over a year and a half and the exact same photos of men and women appear for over a year. There have been reports of outright pathological lying, threats, money stolen and lives ruined by indivividuals who lack honor, integrity and character. There are several other valid and honorable dating sites where you can speak to customer service representatives if requested, and you are not charged automatically unless you request it. No dating site is perfect, but unfortunately from the many emails that I have received, most of the men on these sites that I have just posted, are scam artists and just out for sex, and out to fleece you.

After my wife left me last year I've been trying to go out again, enjoying life as good as only possible, if you know what I mean. Been searching for a decent online dating site for black folks and came across BlackSingles4u, BlackPeopleMeet, BlackCupid, and BlackPlanet. Decided to create an account on all of them.

Both, BlackSingles4u and BlackPeopleMeet, are excellent. Been using both and can't be more happy. No, no new girl yet but getting there. Was not really happy using BlackCupid and BlackPlanet; don't know why though

Met my sweetheart on BPM 3yrs ago. I was waiting for my membership to run out and the very last week I received a message. We talked for a month and finally we met. He planned the perfect date. Best date I've been on in all my life. We look forward to spending the future together. We've talked wedding plans. Will keep BPM posted. Don't give up ladies!

I met my husband on blackpeoplemeet.com. I had to surf through a few frogs to find my prince but he was literally the only person I'd met in person. It was definitely worth it. We had a connection from our initial contact.
