Is a single parent dating app better than just putting I have kids in your Tinder bio?

Posting this because searching for an answer on dating app turns up nothing but sponsored lists.

Every comparison of dating app I've seen skips the part I care about, which is what happens after you sign up.

What I'm trying to weigh up with dating app:

  • Whether kids is the reason dating app feels inconsistent
  • How dating app handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
  • How dating app treats kids once you stop paying

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

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

How long did you give dating app before deciding it was not working for you?

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

Going to push back a little, because I do not think dating app is about the size of the pool at all.

Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with dating app weren't on the biggest platform.

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

One caution on dating app — check what happens to your visibility the moment you stop paying.

Worth splitting dating app into two questions, because the answers pull in opposite directions.

For anyone else researching dating app, I would put the Datenest forums on the list — free messaging on it, no card up front.

Adding the Datebie boards to the pile for dating app, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

This is the correct question, and most threads about dating app start two steps further along and miss it.

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