All Interracial Dating offers a pretty standard
service for people looking for love or just casual dating in
interracial relationships. However, there is a certain honesty to the
site which sets it aside from the majority of other sites offering a
similar service. In particular we were surprised, but rather 'warmed'
(in that "oh they do actually care" kind of way) by the site's
promotion of 'good behaviour'. AllInterracialDating states the
following to its members:
- "You must be 18 years old to use our site.
- Fake and/or unacceptable profiles will be deleted
immediately.
- Using profanity or vulgarity on our site will get your
profile deleted right away!
- Spamming on our site will be met with legal action.
- You're responsible for keeping your User Name and Password
private.
- Don't upload nude photos or copyrighted images. You will be
deleted.
- Our members are good people - treat everyone with respect.
You're in public - act like it."
Although this might, at first, seem only demanding on its members, we
felt that these rules, along with the fact that
AllInterracialDating.com will never renew your membership without your permission, actually
showed a moral, caring company who isn't out to make a quick buck. It's
also quite reassuring that you can feel secure and safe when using a
website and that anyone who tries to abuse the system will be removed.
This site is for making friends, not for spamming and causing problems,
and AllInterracialDating is dedicated to that cause.
With our hearts and minds now safely tucked away it's time to get on
with the ins and outs of the site. On an initial examination
AllInterracialDating is somewhat...basic. It doesn't really have all
the laborious extra features and options, it strays away from complex
search engines and glitzy profiles. Now you might think that this means
it's fast and easy to use, and for the most part you'd be right.
However, there are some fundamental flaws in this approach when you
compare it with the interracial dating sites which manage to reach
higher grounds on our leader board. Firstly, let's examine how to
perform a search. AllInterracialDating's search functions are all
available to any user, irrelevant of whether you've upgraded your
membership or not. This is quite a nice touch because it allows you to
fully explore how this site's search engines work without having to pay
anything for the privilege. However, for those of you who enjoy being a
little more specific with how you search, this may not be ideal. The
main search on AllInterracialDating only asks for the preferred gender,
age (with a minimum range of 5 years), relationship type, ethnicity,
location, and whether you want to see profiles which have photographs
or not. If you are more interested in body type or hobbies, for
example, this may be a little simplistic for your tastes and you may
find yourself having to look through more profiles than you would
prefer to.
Photos are another issue with AllInterracialDating. Members are allowed
to upload five photos, yet on our local searches only six out of 19
members had bothered to upload a photo at all. Even then the quality of
the photo wasn't so great. However, this could work to your advantage
due to the fact that you may be one of few members to have your photo
uploaded, and you're MUCH more likely to receive attention from other
members if you have your photo showing. Therefore it may greatly
increase your chances of success!
The FREE membership offers quite a few of the features you'll find in
the PREMIUM membership, but it does have a few drawbacks. Primarily,
you can't send the all important first message to a member to show them
that you're interested. Secondly
you cannot read the "more about me" text which appears on each member's
profile page, meaning you may not learn very much about them. So, is it
worth the upgrade of membership? Well, AllInterracialDating isn't
really the cheapest site around, nor is it the most expensive. It
provides a better service than many but it also misses out on a lot of
features which we feel would have been a nice addiction (such as video
messaging or instant chat rooms). Oddly the site doesn't offer a one
month subscription rate, but dives straight in at 3 months. If you're
the sort of person who has devotion issues, this might not be ideal for
you. Having said that, the 1 year upgrade to PREMIUM membership works
out at only $8.33 a month, which is pretty cheap.
Another noticeable feature of AllnterracialDating is its global nature.
Its members are primarily in the US but also extend to other countries
such as the UK and Australia. However, it also has members in places as
distant as Iraq or parts of India. In that respect, this really is an
interracial and intercultural dating site.
All in all we feel there are better interracial dating sites out there.
If you are looking for a quick, simple, easy to use site with members
from all over the globe, though, you may want to invest some time and
money in to AllInterracialDating.
