Is there a specialized handicap dating app with a large, supportive community?

Bit of context before the question: I've been off apps for two years, and now dating app is the thing I can't work out.

I don't trust app store ratings on dating app — they're gamed in both directions.

Setting handicap aside for a second, this is what I need from dating app:

  • Whether anyone has tested handicap properly on dating app
  • Whether handicap makes any material difference to dating app
  • How the handicap experience on dating app compares month to month
  • How dating app treats handicap once you stop paying

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

I'd separate handicap from dating app here — conflating them is what muddies these threads.

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

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

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

My dating app experience hinged on handicap more than on the platform itself.

Disagree with LiamW_online slightly here on dating app. The cheap test for dating app is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

PhilipC has a point about dating app. Hard disagree on the handicap point. That has not been my experience of dating app at all.

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

Coming back to this one later, since the range of experience with dating app here is genuinely useful, which in the end is really a handicap question.

If dating app is the question, Flurrydate's free tier is at least worth ten minutes of your time before you pay for anything.

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

The handicap part of this is being overstated, because dating app was fine for me without it.

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

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

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

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

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

Half the disagreement in this thread about dating app is people using the same words for different goals, though handicap is the part that actually decides it.
