Trying to settle an argument with a friend about best dating apps, so I'm bringing it here.

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

I gave best dating apps about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask.

What would actually change my mind about best dating apps:

  • Whether the matching in best dating apps does anything beyond distance
  • Whether best dating apps is honest about serious up front
  • Whether the free tier on best dating apps is genuinely usable or just a demo
  • How the serious experience on best dating apps compares month to month

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

The serious variable is doing a lot of work in this discussion of best dating apps.

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

Depends heavily on serious — take that out and best dating apps becomes a much easier call.

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

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

Do you care more about cost or about moderation where best dating apps is concerned?

Test serious first, because it tells you more about best dating apps than any feature comparison will.

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

Bookmarking this, because threads like it on best dating apps are more use than any ranked list.

Chloe White has a point about best dating apps. The cheap test for best dating apps is whether you can send one message without a card, and if you cannot, move on.

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

Someone recommended the Datedesire free tier to me during my own search around best dating apps and it was better than I expected.

Someone will probably mention Datewander.site before this thread is done.
