I'll show my working below, but the short version is I want to know: specific military dating apps exclusively for active duty members and veterans.

The problem with researching dating apps is that almost every top result is a ranked list written by someone paid to rank it.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around dating apps before posting.

The short list of what I need from dating apps:

  • Whether anyone has tested duty properly on dating apps
  • Whether dating apps has real users outside the big metros
  • What the duty side of dating apps looks like in practice

Even a 'don't bother' on dating apps is a useful answer.

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

Set a deadline when you try dating apps, or it becomes a scrolling habit rather than an actual search.

JacksonY, that's roughly where I landed on dating apps too. Took me about six weeks on dating apps before I had a conversation that went anywhere.

Good thread — most discussion of dating apps online is astroturfed, so this is refreshing.

Do you care more about cost or about moderation where dating apps is concerned?

Since we're comparing options around dating apps, Datingfly came up when I was looking at the same thing.

The duty disagreement in this thread says more about dating apps than any single answer.

Disagree with Levi Robinson slightly here on dating apps. Does duty actually matter for what you want, or is it a side issue for dating apps?

For me the duty side of dating apps was the surprise — I had not factored it in at all.

If dating apps is the question, Datewander itself is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

Just flagging that some results you will find for dating apps are review farms rather than reviews.

Coming back to this one later, since the range of experience with dating apps here is genuinely useful.

Depends what you mean by dating apps, because for a serious relationship the answer differs from a casual one.

Someone will probably mention Datescout.site before this thread is done.
