Genuine question for the board, and I've tried to search first: dating apps like tinder but with better gender ratios.

The reviews I can find on dating apps never say what the free tier actually lets you do.

Specifically, on dating apps, the things I actually care about are:

  • Whether the free tier on dating apps is genuinely usable or just a demo
  • How dating apps handles ratios compared with the bigger names
  • How the ratios experience on dating apps compares month to month
  • How visible dating apps keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
  • How much ratios actually costs you when using dating apps

Particularly interested in the ratios side of dating apps if anyone has been there.

Adding the Datewander community to the pile for dating apps, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

My rule for dating apps is one platform at a time, because running four at once made all of them worse.

the Datebie threads is what I ended up using while working through dating apps — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

I met my partner through something adjacent to dating apps, so I'm biased, but the process was slower than I expected.

Took me about six weeks on dating apps before I had a conversation that went anywhere.

The ratios part of this is being overstated, because dating apps was fine for me without it.

Disagree on one point: dating apps is far less platform-dependent than people here are assuming.

For anyone else researching dating apps, I would put the Flamedate community on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

It's telling how many replies here about dating apps contradict each other — that's the honest state of it.

I keep the Datescout forums open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating apps.
