Interracial Cupid does a nice job straightaway of making sure that with its graphics it shows many different interracial pairings. Furthermore, the emphasis is placed on its services being targeted towards an international market. However, this in fact may be a bit of drawback, since if you, like me, live in a rather cosmopolitan city, interracial relationships don't necessarily require global connections.

Despite focusing on international matches, InterracialCupid has all the primary features of most other online dating sites. You can fill out a free profile that requires that you fully complete details about yourself, as well as write two essays, one describing yourself, the other describing your potential partner. I appreciate its minimally required thoroughness, since the manually verified content can never be left blank, or with gibberish, guaranteeing a modicum of quality and detail for each member's description.

"Interracial Cupid is ideally suited to someone who is willing to meet on an international scale."

Furthermore, you can converse in chat rooms, by email, or through instant messaging. It is free to reply to a message, although you must upgrade to a paid subscription to initiate contact. If you spring for the more expensive membership option, it allows for some special advanced features. These include access to video profiles and messaging, as well as an automatic translation option for your mailbox.

The greatest limitation that I already broached in my intro is that given its global scope, InterracialCupid.com lacks any truly localized searches. You can search a country, province, or state, and select cities. There's no debate that lacking such a key option hinders anyone hoping to meet someone closer to home. Even the advanced search options available after upgrading only utilize the additional information provided from dropdown boxes when filling out profiles.

Another serious issue is the limited number of visitors to the site. There are too few visitors to be sure of how much success you might have in connecting with someone, especially since you can't determine activity levels easily in your actual local area. I found this discouraging as a brief browse through the existing members impressed me with the fact that the first 500 female profiles all had pics, although this is probably because anyone with a posted photo can use the chat rooms for free.

Two improvements that would help the site are an improved search engine and greater promotion of the site to attract more members. Since you do not provide a zip or postal code, such a change towards more localized searches might entail a major overhaul of the system. Interracial Cupid is ideally suited to someone who is willing to meet on an international scale.
