Disappointing Experience
’ve been on BlackPeopleMeet off and on for several years, and unfortunately, my experience has consistently been disappointing. I usually take a break because I get tired of dealing with the same issues, then return hoping things have changed—but they haven’t.
I’m a middle-aged woman who looks very good for my age—better than average in appearance, fitness, and career. I’m not saying that to suggest I’m perfect or to imply that looks are everything. I’m saying it because I know this isn’t about being unattractive or expecting something unreasonable. I have standards, and while they may be high, they are not unattainable.
Unfortunately, I hardly ever make it to a second date, and when I do, it’s often because I’m being extremely patient and giving someone more chances than they have necessarily earned. Many of the men I’ve encountered are either financially unable or unwilling—but more often unable—to plan a proper date, have a questionable history, lack communication skills, or some combination of all three. Others seem to think dating means talking about themselves on the phone for 20 minutes without showing any interest in learning anything about me.
Many men claim they want a serious relationship, but their actions don’t support that. Consistency, effort, communication, and basic consideration seem to be in short supply. I’m not looking for perfection, but I am looking for a man who is emotionally mature, genuinely interested, and capable of making a reasonable effort to build a connection.
At this point, I’m tired of the inconsistency, lack of effort, and poor communication. My advice to women considering this app is to take your time, pay attention to actions rather than words, and don’t confuse attention with genuine interest. Having standards does not mean expecting too much; it means knowing what you are willing to accept.
I also don’t think the cost is worth it, especially considering the overall experience and the limited results. I won’t be paying again, that’s for sure.
After several years of trying the site on and off, I can honestly say it has been more frustrating than rewarding.
