Usability

IWantBlacks is quite basic in functionality, but that does make it extremely easy to use and navigate! All of your matches are displayed in a grid on the home page, and you can find all of the features and games along the top toolbar.

Once you have verified that your email address is authentic, it's up to you whether to fill in all the profile information or would prefer to leave this blank.

All of the fields are optional, including the profile photo. Still, our advice would be to complete it all to ensure you get the best quality match recommendations.

You can browse through member profiles and search for compatible men and women on IWantBlacks as soon as you have verified your email address! The search function is free to use and includes options such as location, gender and age.

If you want a more detailed search, you'll need to consider paying for a premium upgrade.
