We like:

Soul Singles allows free members to communicate more than most African dating sites.

There are comprehensive questionnaires to fill in (which means all members have a minimum level of information on their profiles).

There are at least 10,000 men aged between 40 and 50 on the SoulSingles.com site. The 55-65 male age group had the same numbers. Over 65 men (we searched for ages between 65 and 85) were fewer in number – about 170 profiles returned, with the majority in their late 60s and early 70s (although we did find one 85 year old).

The search tool wouldn’t let your reviewer search for women (because she is one, presumably). But the stats for female members are bound to be equally good.

This black dating web site offers tips on how to get the best out of your membership.

There’s a comprehensive FAQ and help section to answer your questions before you sign up for a free membership.

The SoulSingles.com administrators spell out the safety guidelines they use to protect their members privacy.

We don’t like:

Nothing so far – this is a popular, good value for money dating site - one of the top black dating sites.

But only from the neck down.
