Review of Afrointroductions: Our Feedback on the Experience.
Overview
Afrointroductions is a niche dating site that will allow you to meet African singles. This website is a part of the Cupid Media company, one of the leaders of online dating. Consequently, they have a large user base (they claim to have more than 2.5 million users currently). Fortunately, you do not necessarily have to be African or have African origins in order to register. Indeed, the idea of the website is to put like-minded singles in contact and to create great couples, whether they are interracial couples or not. Therefore, if you are white and if you live in Europe, you can also join the website. You will see that you can meet people who live in Africa, but you also have the possibility to meet people who live near you and who have African origins. So there are a lot of opportunities for new encounters, but according to our experience, if you want to make the website work for you, you will have to subscribe to a paid membership.
Signing Up
The signing up process is quite simple, and it does not take a lot of time at all. They just ask you to put your name, your gender, which gender you are interested in, your age, and your email address. Once you filled out this information, they ask you to upload a profile picture, but you can skip this step if you want to. But of course, you are encouraged to complete your profile more in detail later in order to make it more attractive (put your interests, your personality traits, what kind of relationship you are looking for, etc.). If you want to register even faster, you can register via Facebook. If you choose this option, it will syncs all your data from your Facebook profile to the website in an instant.
There is no email verification needed. You will immediately have access to the dating site. When you will complete your profile completely and upload a profile picture, your photo will have to be approved by the support team of the website before being displayed. Indeed, they will verify that you are not using the photo of someone else or that you are not using the same photo for several profiles. The approval process takes approximately 24 to 48 hours.
