Is iwantblacks Legit?
Yes - iwantblacks is owned by Together Networks ltd who has been working in the online dating industry for a long time. Our iwantblacks review found it has a high number of unique weekly users. With over 150,000 hits a week and 600,000 members in the USA it is clear the site is well trusted and used by many people across the states.
How Does iwantblacks Work?
Iwantblacks is an online dating site to help both men and women meet black men and women for romantic encounters and love. While the site is desiccated to meeting black people, you don’t need to be black to join the site. People of all races and nationalities can join to meet black and mixed race singles - as long as all members are respectful.
The site offers both free and premium memberships to help members match on the site, however as with most dating sites - to message other users, you will need to sign up for a premium account.
Member Structure
There are over 600,000 active members in the USA, but while most dating sites are popular with younger people - our iwantblacks review found that there are many more active older people on the site.
Like many dating sites, the site also has many more male members than females; however, filtering out older age groups can often resolve this problem as older male users make up most of the site.
The site also has over 300,000 monthly worldwide visits and 120,000 new visits per month globally - meaning you can meet people from all over, not just in the USA.
Cost Pricing and Plans
To see full-sized photos, enjoy unlimited chats, and be able to share videos and photos in private chats, members will need a paid subscription:
| Duration/ Credits | Costs | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Month | 41.40 USD / Month | 41.40 USD |
| 3 Months | 23.10 USD / Month | 69.30 USD |
| 6 Months | 18.60 USD / Month | 111.60 USD |
Iwantblacks Special Features

Our Experience on Iwantblacks
Sign Up Process
The signup process for iwantblacks is quick and easy - provide your orientation, preference, and age - and you’re more or less good to go after adding your email address and creating a password. The site or iwantblacks app will automatically detect your location - however, this can be corrected if it isn't correct. Accounts are activated through an email with a 4-digit code. They can be varied through email - with a verified account, you’re able to contact everyone on the site without restriction (if you have a premium membership).
Profile Creation
While you cannot use social media sites to help with the profile building process at iwantblacks.com or on the iwantblacks app, building a profile is simple but not compulsory. Profiles offer a space to add a profile photo and include information on hair and eye color, and ethnic origin. Users can also add additional photos - however, they will only ever be seen by premium members on the site. Most of the profile is blocked to non-premium members - meaning it’s unnecessary to complete more than your “about you” section and add a photo.
Match Making
Match making on iwantblacks.com happens in the same way as most sites; users are offered other users profiles and can decide whether they like them or not - once two members have liked each other, they can begin speaking if they wish. Unlike other dating sites, you don’t have to match to message someone else - if you’re verified and have a premium account, nothing stops you from contacting anyone on the site so matchmaking can happen more naturally.
Contact Other Users
If you have a premium account, you can message anyone you like on the site, without limits. Free accounts, however, only allow you to send winks and make other members a “favourite” - making it impossible to speak to people who might like you back. From our review, it is clear that you need a paid account to make the most of the site and even contact other members at all. Once you’ve signed up for premium, you can also send videos and photos in private chats - helping you to connect better with other users.
Experts Conclusion
Iwantblacks.com is a great place to meet black men and women from all over the world. However, as with most black hookup sites - there are several different problems, mostly the presence of “fake” or “scam” accounts. That said, the scam accounts are easy to detect and be avoided. As a free dating site the site doesn’t offer much, but a paid account makes the experience much better and offers more chances to match. The lack of an iwantblacks app is disappointing, but the site is easily accessible in mobile mode.
