I spent a while on blk dating for black singles than using Hinge and ended up somewhere unexpected.

If whether the users are genuine isn't sorted, blk dating will not go anywhere. I would put the catchment above almost everything else when it comes to blk dating. What people get out of it's what separates a good week from a wasted one with blk dating.

Whether it leads anywhere is what separates a good week from a wasted one with blk dating. Worth testing blk dating for black singles than using Hinge yourself for a week before deciding.

Concretely, for blk dating:

  • stay on the platform for the first few exchanges on the blk dating side
  • reply inside a day or the thread goes cold when it comes to blk dating
  • commit a couple of weekends before deciding anything about blk dating
  • keep expectations low for the first fortnight when it comes to blk dating

Those are the blk dating habits I actually kept.
