How Does The Signup Process Work?

The sign up process for MatchEbony is not nearly as in-depth as other online dating sites that use science-baked matchmaking systems. With MatchEbony, you simply choose a username, fill in your password and e-mail and then fill out who you are and what you are seeking. You will be required to put in your ethnicity, height, body type, country, state, city, zip code, marital status, whether you have kids or want kids, living situation, and whether you like to engage in smoking and drinking. Beyond this, you will be asked to rate yourself based on a social setting and then fill in a basic profile about yourself which includes a photograph.

Editor’s Final Verdict of MatchEbony

MatchEbony is a good service for black singles who want to casually date, hookup, or meet new people in an extremely relaxed environment. The website does not have any secure privacy policies and does have a limit on how many messages you can send and keep. However, it is completely free to use, so it’s a great option for those who are just starting to date online.
