Creation of a Profile
There are two options to create a profile, either by going through your existing Facebook account or by building a dating profile from scratch. Even if you already have a Facebook account, which you use in conjunction with other platforms, the second option isn't that much slower. To create your profile you need to answer six profile questions. You are asked your gender, but not sexual preference. Unlike more generic sites, BlackChristianPeopleMeet.com only caters for heterosexual relationships. It will also bar anyone whose Facebook status indicates they are already married or separated. The question about your religion has two options, Christian or Catholic. Given the fact there are numerous separate groups within these umbrella headings, this seems unnecessarily vague.
Once you have added your personal details, you have the option of uploading a photo (or copying one from your Facebook.) Although this isn't mandatory, you are best to comply, otherwise your profile will not be included in search results. It's worth noting staff at BlackChristianPeopleMeet.com need to approve every photo, so you won't be able to start the process of searching for matches for up to 48 hours. You can also upload short videos.
You can also ask four questions, or ‘message ideas,' to be posed to visitors to your profile, acting as an icebreaker. Lastly, you can report suspicious profiles to the staff, depending on if you suspect someone is married, a minor, or is scamming users.
Whether a profile page is detailed or not is entirely up to the user, so they vary in the information they present. They also remain invisible until a photo is uploaded/verified. They do indicate whether the person is online, and information can be altered at a later date.
