BlackGentry: Black Dating App

First of all, I will start by saying that I am a Black women who has used a lot of dating apps such as Tinder, Hinge, Bumble etc and my experience has been terrible on those apps. I received disrespectful messages from men who were only looking for a hook up. Finding BlackGentry changed my feelings on dating apps and it is currently the only dating app I use. I saw an ad on IG and I follow their page and I have been in touch with customer service as I initially needed help and they were helpful and truly are passionate about creating an app for us and by us. Since joining I have seen a lot of improvements in the quality of men on the app as well as the stability of the app. I have also met decent men on the app over the past year. One of which I dated for a while. It ended so I came back and I am suprised at all the new features. I absolutely love the restaurants feature and I see there is now a lot of members. I literally got 50 likes my first day on the app from DECENT black men. Great Job BlackGentry. We truly need to support apps and company’s that make products for us by us and this company is an example of one doing things right and for the right reason.

Okay so to begin with your profile has to be approved which according to the app is a manual process. That’s a green flag. Once mine got approved I filled out my profile which really didn’t take a long time and it felt like I was able to give very relevant info about myself. But here’s the part that isn’t what you’d expect, I haven’t gotten a single like or match in the few hours I’ve had my profile. Of course you might ask why I’m giving a 5 star review if I haven’t made any matches or gotten any likes. But here’s the thing, I see this as a positive because it means there aren’t fake accounts or bot accounts spamming new users to drive up engagement or encouraging you to upgrade to a premium profile. I believe when someone does finally like my profile rather it’s a match or not it will be a genuine person genuinely interested in talking with me. Disclaimer: I’m not black and while it doesn’t say it’s meant just for the black community I do believe this might be why I haven’t gotten any likes yet because these women are seeking black men. That’s okay, it’s their choice and I respect it.

I joined the site 4 days ago and am completely blown away by the amazing guys I’ve met matched with so far. I almost felt like I needed to pause my profile for a minute just to not get overwhelmed with the amount of options I’ve had with attractive professional black men. Ladies I’m highly recommending this app to you. I’m based in ATL but I travel for work and I’ve met a general surgeon, a cybersecurity global director, an ER nurse, a political consultant, and a computer scientist all in 4 days. All attractive ( in my eyes), all willing to FaceTime the same day we connected, and all willing to do a meet and greet. Pay the upgrade so you can message freely and access the profiles that are verified professionals. Make sure you are showing not just your professional side but your fun side as well. There are women on this site asking guys for $50 for gas just to go on a date so the guys are exhausted with the scammers and they are truly looking for real quality women. If that’s you then I highly recommend this site to you sis. Fellas I’m a civil engineer so there are women who won’t waste your time you just have to weed them out. Good luck out there everyone and if you join and wonder who this is I’m Cat_The_Engineer on the site.
