Grindr
Christian mingle was working for me until I changed my status to “married but looking”
Mostly Grindr. And Tinder as well. Was never really a fan of Bumble.
Hinge seems to be where women reside the most.
edit: to add some commentary – tinder is built so that men pay for every interaction regardless of your profile’s ability (e.g. power to draw positive female interaction); i can’t speak for bumble post men being able to message first; Hinge while incorporating some of the tinder payment algorithm crap, still allows for a profile to perform based on its ability, but they will still filter the girls you want to swipe on into that most wanted category. i also did notice that after my profile garnered enough positive interaction, i was able to access more of the sought after female profiles (it felt like i unlocked a new level in a video game). this is all anecdotal but ya.
also, men, you are going to have better results learning how to approach women in real life. apps skew to the top 10%-15% of men imo.
None of them for average men, but even average women are saying it’s bad for them for the opposite reason— they get too many likes to manage.
Quit those lousy apps already please.
Hinge for sure
Found my girlfirend on facebook dating, it def need some polishing but also 100% free and no bullshit
Okcupid is underrated and a must try.
Dating apps are the biggest scam ever.
First off, make sure your head is in the right place first. Dating apps can be good in that they’re an easier way to find potential matches, but they also can feel dehumanizing because they produce basically a menu of options for both sides, and that’s never any fun.
That said, *with patience* Hinge is definitely the best of them. The prompts can feel tedious, but they at least allow you to add some personality to your profile. They also make it easier to filter out people who will just waste your time—if they’re putting dumb things that don’t really mean anything in the prompts, odds are they’re not very serious or are used to being treated like god’s gift to earth.
It takes patience to filter through the bs and not get down on yourself, but it’s definitely the best one for trying to make genuine connections. I’m a remarkably average looking guy, and I’ve had three dates in the past three weeks and have a second date next Tuesday with the cutest one!
There’s this crazy app called the bar after 10pm. Only problem is that you have to go outside to use it.
I was on 4 apps for a few years. Got 2 matches in all that time. I just deleted them all last week. I’ve gone to some speed dating events. No matches so far but I get to talk to real women before they reject me.
Hinge was working for me, I’m in my 30s though. My advice:
* Actually work on your profile, no fish.
* You’ll have to message women. Don’t force it; if they have nothing on their profile to talk about then why would it be any easier to date them?
* Don’t talk about your penis.
* If you’re having a decent conversation then ask for a date.
For some insight, I had a handful of women message me in a month. The woman I matched with had 50 messages from men on her first day, 80% were easily filtered garbage but that still leaves 10 they have to filter. Find a reason they don’t filter you.
Met my current girlfriend on Hinge. I’ve found it’s the best for educated adults with good jobs/ careers. Not just looking for hookups.
Women HATE INITIATING. So much for equality lol
Is this a US only thing or did this change happen just yesterday? Because I’m on Bumble and the last match I had, only she could message me first. It still says so in the instructions when you first download the app.
Its funny, I used dating apps for years, spent money to get matches which led to dates, and that DID work. But ended up meeting my GF through an IRL friend. Honestly focusing on IRL connections is probably just way better for finding someone.
All apps rely on gullibility of average looking men to make profit 🤷♂️
It really says it all when Bumble’s mission statement failed so utterly
None, bumble only introduced me to bots, hinge sends me to every part of the country. Here’s a match, someone way on the other side of the country. I’m done with them
Facebook dating was doing ok for me when I was recently single. Better than the others I tried.
Bumble is my favorite app, but I’m a woman who likes messaging men first. I’ve had a lot of success finding good dates with intelligent and attractive men.
Every app you need to pay to see who liked you or to message. That shit is a scam. Plus, I’ve met some crazies on dating apps.
I’ve been off the market for 8 years, but I met my wife through CoffeeMeetsBagel. Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge were all okay at getting a first date or a hookup but CMB was the first one where I got a serious relationship (and marriage, then kids and dogs).
Honestly, they all kind of feel the same
A 4 day concert works better than any app.
And you get decent music.
Sniffies always works for me.
Lol wasnt that the whole point of bumble? Kind of safer feeling for women so they dont get harassed with crazy first lines? What the hell is it for now?
None lol
Id honestly rather be alone than do dating apps again lol
Met my (F34) soulmate (M37) on hinge 8 months ago
lmao
Women were so incapable of reaching out first that Bumble was failing under that dynamic. That’s fucking hilarious.
Believe it or not, facebook dating worked well for me. The lack of a financial incentive (disregarding them gathering your data) made a world of difference, and the crowd seemed to be more down to earth and actually willing to have a conversation and meet. Hinge was alright too.
I’ve navigated the choppy waters of various dating apps and have come to a simple conclusion: there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. I tried Tinder, which felt like playing a slot machine with my love life, and Bumble, which gave me flashbacks to high school dances, waiting for someone to make the first move. However, Hinge brought a different vibe, more like a cozy coffee shop where actual conversations happen. There, I noticed people took a bit more time with their profiles and interactions, which led to more meaningful exchanges.
As for dating app strategies, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. If you’re looking for more than a hookup, be prepared to invest time and effort into curating your profile and genuinely engaging with others’ content. And remember, the best ‘algorithm’ is just being yourself. Sure, you might hit the paywall now and then, but if someone’s truly interested, you’ll find a way to connect, virtual or otherwise. Just when I was about to swear off apps for good, I matched with someone amazing on Hinge, and we’ve been going strong for months now.
I matched with a girl on Hinge once and sent a message, she didn’t respond and I got bored of the app so I uninstalled it. I re-installed it 2 months later to see that she’d replied to my message 1 month ago, to which I then replied, 1 month after hers. I’ve yet to receive another reply but maybe because the month isn’t up yet.
So all in all it’s going pretty well I’d say
Would any of you folks have preferred getting on a dating app where you could get one match at a time? Basically either going forward with the person you matched (chatting / dating) or unmatching them and finding someone else?
Why / Why not ?
Of course this would mostly be for people who are not just looking for one night stands
All dating apps will make you feel worthless 😂 avoid them like the plague!
Cancel your dating app subscriprions. Use the same money to work on yourselves, join activities, classes, events where you meet real people. Work on your approavhing, talking skills, over time you’ll find it rewarding. Men, work on yourselves, stay focusses on your goals, build yourselves, that’s more attractive.
