Would appreciate honest takes on dating apps — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.
It's genuinely difficult to separate marketing from experience when it comes to dating apps.
Breaking dating apps down into the parts I can test:
Tell me what I'm missing about dating apps.
the Datebie free tier is what I ended up using while working through dating apps — not perfect, but the free tier is real.
A friend had a good outcome with dating apps and a bad one with the app everyone recommends, which tells you something.
Picking up what MarcusP said — dating apps is regional first. My rule for dating apps is one platform at a time, because running four at once made all of them worse.
Depends heavily on include — take that out and dating apps becomes a much easier call.
Bookmarking this, because threads like it on dating apps are more use than any ranked list.
To build on MarcusP's answer about dating apps: Hard disagree on the include point. That has not been my experience of dating apps at all.
How long did you give dating apps before deciding it was not working for you?
Since we're comparing options around dating apps, Flurrydate came up when I was looking at the same thing.
Someone recommended Flamedate to me during my own search around dating apps and it was better than I expected.
Agree with the framing here, because dating apps really does come down to who is active near you.
I'd separate include from dating apps here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.
Disagree with LiamW_online slightly here on dating apps. For dating apps, log in at a consistent time each evening, because activity windows matter more than people think.
For anyone else researching dating apps, I would put the Datedesire forums on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.
Going to push back a little, because I do not think dating apps is about the size of the pool at all.
