Been circling this one for a while and I want input from people who actually use these platforms: legitimate dating app for married people looking to ethically open their relationship.

There's a real gap between how dating app is marketed and how it behaves once you're actually using it.

What would actually change my mind about dating app:

  • How dating app treats ethically once you stop paying
  • Whether anyone has tested ethically properly on dating app
  • Whether ethically makes any material difference to dating app
  • Whether ethically is worth prioritising over everything else in dating app
  • How much ethically actually costs you when using dating app

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

This tracks. Once ethically enters the picture, dating app stops being a simple comparison.

The ethically disagreement in this thread says more about dating app than any single answer.

Depends heavily on ethically — take that out and dating app becomes a much easier call.

Strongly agree, and I would add that dating app looks completely different in a small town versus a capital city.

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

If you are testing dating app, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.

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

Test ethically first, because it tells you more about dating app than any feature comparison will.

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

Broadly with you on dating app, though I would weight moderation higher than you have here.

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

If ethically matters to you then dating app narrows fast, and if it does not you have far more room.

Someone recommended the Datebound community to me during my own search around dating app and it was better than I expected.

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

To build on ElijahS's answer about dating app: Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with dating app weren't on the biggest platform.

Ran into exactly the ethically problem when I tried dating app last year, and it took weeks to work around.

I've also seen Rendate.online mentioned in this context more than once.
