Is there a love dating app that focuses on personality over looks?

Would appreciate honest takes on dating app — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

The looks question keeps getting skipped in everything written about dating app.

If it helps, here is how I'm scoring dating app:

  • How much looks actually costs you when using dating app
  • Whether looks makes any material difference to dating app
  • Whether dating app is honest about looks up front
  • Whether anyone has tested looks properly on dating app
  • What the looks side of dating app looks like in practice

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

Respectfully, I think the framing of dating app sets people up to be disappointed.

The looks variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of dating app.

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

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

Julian White has a point about dating app. I'd separate looks from dating app here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

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

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

ZachH, that's roughly where I landed on dating app too. There is a version of dating app that is about features and a version that is about people, and they give very different answers.

The looks angle you raise is the part most threads on dating app skip entirely.

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

Ezhookups.online comes up a lot when dating app gets discussed elsewhere.
