Does anyone else think the facebook dating app matches you with the weirdest people?

Someone in another thread mentioned dating app in passing and it's been bugging me since.

The frustrating part about dating app is that the honest answers are buried in comment sections, not articles.

My own attempt at dating app lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps.

Narrowing it down, here is what matters to me about dating app:

  • Whether the dating app experience holds up after the first fortnight
  • Whether the free tier on dating app is genuinely usable or just a demo
  • Whether the matching in dating app does anything beyond distance
  • Whether weirdest is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
  • Whether weirdest makes any material difference to dating app

Particularly interested in the weirdest side of dating app if anyone has been there.

Not affiliated with anyone, but Datescout solved the messaging-paywall part of dating app for me last year.

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

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

Can I ask what you have already ruled out on dating app, so nobody repeats what you know?

Agreed, and specifically on weirdest — that is where dating app either works or falls apart.

Anything promising instant matches around dating app is worth treating with suspicion.

I keep the Datenest forums open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with dating app.
