Summary:
InterracialMatch.com bills itself as the “No. 1 interracial dating site in the world.” As the flagship site of a large network of interracial dating sites, InterracialMatch counts with hundreds of thousands of members. Established in 2001 in Silicon Valley, InterracialMatch specializes in bringing together people who are open and curious about dating people from a different background.
Pros:
- Many members means many search results
- You may use your photos (or those of other members) to make and send greeting cards
- Longer memberships are heavily discounted
Cons:
- Match quality was not really impressive
- The site’s design and feel is very lo-fi: unattractive, simple, very few options
Costs:
A guest membership allows you to create and publish a profile with up to 20 pictures. You can also opt for having your photo, income and/or education verified for free by the site – it just takes a little paperwork. Guest members may reply to chats and emails, but not initiate them. Gold members may initiate contact, use the advanced search options (with filters and keywords,) view full sized pictures and videos and highlight their profile. Gold membership for one month is $29.95 (down from $39.95,) and there are attractive discounts for 3-month and 6-month memberships, but the 12-month option is decidedly the most cost-effective, as a 70% discount leaves membership at $143.95 for a year, or $11.95 a month.
Account Setup: Easy
It takes a few minutes to set up an account – a few questions about your looks and preferences, two short essays (“About Me” and “About my match”) and a quick picture upload, and you will be ready for business. Oddly, there are no further options to add information and depth to your profile; we recommend you spend some time working those essays because they are all matches will see about you.
Photos:
You can upload up to 20 photos, either one at a time or 6 at a time. Minimum size is 80×80pixels and maximum file size is 3M. You have options to rotate pictures that are on their side, and you can decide the order in which they are shown. You can view pictures in a pop-up window, up to a size of about 4×4 inches, but only if you are a Gold member.
Search:
If you’re a non-paying member, you may only run a broad search by age and region. Gold members may also filter by many other criteria, which include relationship status, ethnicity, body type, religion, and drinking/smoking habits.
Support:
InterracialMatch.com has a comprehensive and well organized FAQ page, but if what you are looking for is not there you may also contact them via an email form – there are several for different issues, including suggestion, membership issues, bug report and success stories.
In their words:
We are proud to be the leading site for interracial dating, relationship even marriage. We bring like-minded singles together who are open to new experiences with different cultures and ethnicities, whether they reside within your own neighborhood or abroad.
Our reviewer’s opinion:
In one word, blah. This site seems a mere shell for an admittedly large network, but doesn’t have any unique features or even a memorable look and design. It seems odd to have member’s income not only displayed but also verified, and also, the repeated use of the word “interracial” as in “Largest Interracial Blogs,” “Daily Interracial News,” “Interracial Videos” and “Interracial Forums” makes this reviewer frankly uncomfortable.
