SoulSingles.com – Black Matchmaking Service

SoulSingles.com is a site dedicated to helping black singles internationally, find their perfect match for long lasting successful relationships, or friendship if this is what they wish to find.

The layout of the site is quite simple and plain which makes it easy to navigate and straightforward to use.

Before joining the site as a member there are a couple of different features for users to look at before making their decision. There is a special FAQ section (frequently asked questions) which consists of members asking questions which concern them to do with the running of the site or the different features of the site, and provides them with an answer. Also available as with many dating sites, are success stories which you can browse through of past members who have found their partner from the site and where they are today.

There is a 5 star safety programme available on the site which provides members with a sense of security whilst using the site. There are 5 different parts to the programme which consist of member-controlled privacy, profile screening, mandatory registration, community reporting and member education. The site requires all its members to confirm they are over 18 years old to protect its members from meeting anyone who is under the legal age, and if any harmful behaviour or language is portrayed on the site at any time, all members are able to report the profile and they will automatically be banned from the use of the site.

There are two different membership types available for SoulSingles.com, basic (free) and platinum. The platinum membership can be purchased on a monthly basis for ultimate flexibility or in a bulk purchase of 3 or 6 months.

Basic membership limits users to the use of very little features the site offers whereas platinum membership allows member’s access to everything available.

The registration is a relatively short and simple process. There is a percentage bar at the side of the screen allowing you to see how far along the process you are before completion.

The first section consists of basic information such as first name, last name, birth date, and location including the zip/postal code of the area. It is also required you provide your email address for any updates to matches which the site may give you. You are also required to create a username and password for when you log in on future occasions.
The 2^nd section consists of physical attribute questions, such as hair colour, eye colour and physique. The next set of questions goes into more detail and is based on your lifestyle, such as smoking/drinking habits, income and occupation and also whether you have children from previous relationships.

The 4^th section allows you to input more detail about yourself into your profile as it asks you to write in your own words about your personality and the type of match you are looking to meet.

The final part of the process involves you creating a headline for your profile. This is vital as it is the first thing any member looking at your profile sees. You are then able to upload a photograph if you wish, but this is optional or can be done at a later time.

Once your profile has been completed, you are able to start your search and browse through the different members the site offers.

You are able to perform a detailed search, but if you are a platinum member, the search options can be expanded to make your search more specific to your needs.

On the search panel, there are the obvious questions such as gender, age range and location, but also there are more detailed questions regarding the type of roots you wish your match to be and other questions regarding lifestyle. But if you are a platinum member, the questions become even more detailed, asking what kind of physique you are looking for your partner to have, and more appearance related questions.

Once the query has loaded, a list of members that match the criteria will appear down the page, along with basic information about themselves and photos if they have them uploaded. If a member has caught your eye, you are able to view their profile in full, and send a flirt if you want them to contact you. If you are a platinum member however, you are able to message them and also initiate IM conversations.

SoulSingles.com is a friendly community for all black singles to be able to communicate in a non judgemental relaxed fashion, which makes it a lot simpler to find their one true love or possibly a friend for life.
