AfroIntroductions aims to connect people of African descent with other Africans or others who want to meet them. They have members seeking friendship, foreign marriage or dating. It's free to join but upgrading to Gold membership is required to fully communicate with others on the site.
Afrointroductions has around 264,000 active members -- making it one of the most popular online communities of its kind. It has a good layout and excellent range of features which are common across the Cupid Media network of sites. A mobile version of the site allows you to conveniently view your matches on the go.
Registration
Upon completing the easy registration process, one can immediately begin browsing and bookmarking their favorite profiles. There is also a block feature, dating tips and advice and advanced search options that will make finding compatible matches an easy, enjoyable task.
Fee Access
Opting for the basic (free) account is a good choice to start. It allows unrestricted access; allowing viewing of profiles, searching, and flirting with others. It even allows you to send (but not read emails). In order to unlock messaging, at least sender or receiver need to be a paying member.
Searching
The detailed (advanced) search includes a whole range of additional criteria for filtering men or women matching your preferences. If you complete your “match info” section on your profile, you'll find you receive more accurate suggestions via the automated matchmaking tools.
Upgrading
Gold membership allows access email and chat privileges or the Platinum membership for video and voicemail. In addition, Gold/Platinum members appear at the top of searches.
Afrointroductions openly welcomes men and women of all races, nationalities and backgrounds. This favorably adds to the variety of the user community. They offer basic translation software for translating messages to English in order to ease communications between members. A Platinum membership is required for the translation service.
