Schwarzes-Glueck.de – contact exchange for Goths, goths and children of the night

Schwarzes-Glueck.de – Largest European singles exchange for the black scene tested and compared

Overall impression: [Rating:70/100]

Roughly speaking, the dark scene dating site Schwarzes-Glueck.de is a forum and an online community for people who enjoy music genres such as Gothic, EBM, Darkwave, Heavy Metal and generally this type of “dark” music and dark lifestyle hearts lie. Gothic singles and angels of the night come together here.

You could also say that it is a “goth dating site” , but there are now also a lot of non-singles registered or people who cannot be described as the usual cliché goths.

The forum is run by a few private people and is therefore basically free. The site is financed through advertising banners and the possibility that you can register as a member for a fee in order to receive more functions.

The special singles exchangeschwarzes-glueck.de, like normal contact exchanges, also has an extensive repertoire of functionalities such as creating a profile, a member search, a date finder and many more.

profile

As befits a good community and a good forum, you can of course first create a detailed profile (which you should, otherwise you won't be activated).

In the standard version (i.e. free), this profile includes the upload of up to 5 images and plenty of space for detailed information about the user. You will almost be overwhelmed by the concentrated amount of information if you really take the time to fill out the entire profile. However, as a stranger you get a very good first insight into the person behind the profile.

Special members can be saved in a so-called soulmate list , which is a very practical function.

Member search

Looking for and finding a specific member or several members at the same time is not a big problem Schwarzer Glück A list of members who are currently online can be freely configured. With the search function you can narrow down many criteria such as age, zip code, gender, single status, etc.

This is all quite practical and well thought out.

News

As a standard member you can save a maximum of 300 messages in your inbox and 200 in your outbox. There is also an archive function. Writing and sending messages is easy and clear. Members with angel or archangel (paid) can also send instant messages and messages to multiple users.

When you get new messages, it's hard to miss, but it doesn't seem too intrusive. Unfortunately, you cannot see whether the messages you sent yourself were read or even deleted.

The date finder

Here you can find people who are looking for a date yourself or you can register yourself as a searcher. Quite a practical function because this can also be limited based on place, time and gender.

Unfortunately, it is predominantly male members who are looking for ladies there... 😉

The members

The impressive number of around 60,000 members is a good sign that this niche community is now very well known and popular. Members from all over Germany as well as Austria and Switzerland are registered, mainly between the ages of 16 and 50.

However, the core of the age group is around 20 years. Unfortunately, the male/female ratio is not completely balanced, as the proportion of men already predominates somewhat (approx. 71% male members).

Most users are real “goths”, but there are also a few people who are more into guitar-heavy music (read: metal). Before you decide to register on this platform, you should have at least a certain affinity or genuine interest in the dark scene.

The color black: people up close – Gothics are different
