Septuagenarian singles? Nonbinary love? It's all on the table now. This interview has been condensed for clarity. I'd say Black love is growing. It's always prevailed through time. It's resilient. You see, when I think about Black love, it's more than just romance.
It's really about the community. Coming together as a community, that's a form of love. Coming together romantically, that's another form of love. It looks like many, many things. From a love perspective, Black love is becoming more open, and freer, which just makes it more powerful. People in the Black community are writing their own dating storiesβmoving away from the traditional Black family model, getting married later or not getting married at all, and waiting longer to have children.
The same thing goes for all types of relationships, like polyamory for example. People have the poly sticker on the app and it's not a taboo thing as it was before. Are you looking for a man? There's a whole spectrum of gender identity. We definitely, we have that in the app now.
Everything doesn't need to be so segmented. It's more about, talking like you would talk to a friend creating that personal connection. One of the most important things is your profile picture because people are swiping left and right. You have half a second to get somebody's attention. As superficial as that sounds, that's just the nature of the game. Make sure you take a good profile picture that shows your face. Fill out your bio and let people know a little bit more about who you are.
