If online dating apps had free upgrades for a month would you sign up?

[coachTanthony]

Free upgrades give you all sorts of tools like seeing who has already liked your profile so there is no guessing on who likes you.

Hell yes

Nah

see poll ( I matched with the Coach on Bumble )

[Lionman95]

No because in my experience chances are low that it would change a thing firstly because I´m not that good looking and therefore I don´t get many matches and secondly most women on dating apps look in my experience for entertainment or attention and not for a relationship. Besides that there are bot profiles that are not easy to distinguish from real people.

So it´s better to stay single and try to be happy that way than paying a penny for any of those apps because they´re not really worth it.

[Zachgoat308]

its not better to be single, but the apps are ass, they manipulate you too buy more, and they manipulate you to feel unattractive.

[Adronicus]

I live in a more rural area, I tried one once, tinder. There's a pattern leading me to believe most of the "females" are bots / scammers. The few I did talk to seemed borderline shell shocked, lacked social skills as well as intelligence. I'm not saying these things to be mean but because they're were true in my experience. I only invested a few days into this excursion into online dating. I'm VERRY good at pattern recognition. My advice to men would be to meet women from your social networks or even out in the wild:) These things in my opinion are setup to fleece men from the contents of their wallets:/

[SoftCliff]

No, thanks

As blueskies97 guys there are speaking with other 10.000 girls at the same time. They are very thirsty and only care about 1 thing. It's a big turn off and waste of time

[Splatmate22]

I would if they make a learning disability dating apps free but from England area since the other dating apps are outside of england

[OlderAndWiser]

At the moment I am in a relationship which has lasted for 20 months so far and is still going strong. I may not be using dating apps any more.

[legalboxers]

Im on POF, OKCupid, Bumble, Tinder. Each and everyone suck! I get people who say they are in the US... but lie... I report it they say "oh we will give you your money back because your filters are off".. What part didn't you get. They say they are in the US.. but aren't. How is that my filters?

[Anonymous]

For the type of women that you have to wade through on an online dating app the app would have to literally pay me to get me to use it. No even if the site was completely free with all premium status. The product simply isn't worth it.

[coachTanthony]

Okay Anonymous lol

[Opinion Owner]

Np coach. 🙂

[Kaamraj]

I have paid for dating apps premium services. What usually happens is that I still get no matches. But if I unsubscribe then within a few days I get a sudden match or even two, then I have to pay to see who they are, they're either fake profiles or bots and either don't reply or disappear after a day of upgrading. Biggest scam.

[Anonymous]

Dating apps are highly superficial and dumb. If you want to let people judge you for your appearances, go for it.

And in my country (India), mostly girls use the dating apps for either finding "friends" or passing time (getting as much attention as they can). And yeah guys are mostly desperate.
I'm generalizing but that's mostly the case.

[coachTanthony]

How do you date in India?

[Opinion Owner]

Tbh I don't really have a lot of dating experience. But normally people date their friends, Mutual friends, people they know already, or met on some parties or celebrations.

[Opinion Owner]

And yes that depends on the location too... Urban metropolitan cities are into dating and stuff (meeting new people, going on dates). But in small cities that is not a very easygoing thing for people. That's the reason you may see a lot of single indian men all over the internet lol

[Levin]

Paying for dating websites is like paying for porn.

Not something you wish to admit to publicly.

[Sonalsharma25]

I've used the dating apps a few times. Never needed any upgrades. Getting matches are not that hard but the guys mostly ask for sex or creepy stuff so that puts me off.
So that's a total waste of time.

[Anonymous]

It wouldn't change much for me. I think they're "fake" anyway (system used to get you to upgrade), but even if they are real, if we aren't matching, then I'm not interested in them or something else that's preventing a match, so seeing them won't change that.

[shortster]

I don't pay for a subscription to dating apps anymore. What are you paying for? They don't do anything to help you find someone to date. They just created an app for you to download. If you find someone on there it was all your leg work. If it was a one time fee I would consider it; but otherwise I am not paying for it.

[snowboarder720]

If you don’t find value in paying for finding a quality and healthy relationship, a quality and healthy relationship isn’t for you.

[shortster]

I don't find value in dating apps helping me find a good relationship. Because I believe that they are designed to keep people single and paying. Besides a romantic relationship shouldn't be a financial investment. People have been developing healthy relationships with out the need for dating apps for millennia; just because I am done with the run around from dating apps doesn't mean I can't find a healthy relationship without them.

[snowboarder720]

When you don’t find value in finding a good relationship enough to chip in $ per month it’s clear that you aren’t committed.
A committed and healthy relationship involves (and not limited to) purchases. Nobody will want to commit to you when you display that they aren’t worth a simple monthly payment because when you eventually find them they WILL look for financial and emotional stability.

[shortster]

I don't find value in giving away money to a dating site when I have given them plenty of money with not even a date to show for it. There is a difference in valuing a good relationship and valuing a dating site. Knowing a bad investment is an important part of financial stability. Heck a third of the dating apps either have bots or pay people to interact with you; inorder to keep you a paying subscriber. When a third of the industry is out and out fraudulent; and the other two thirds aren't interested in delivering on their stated purpose. It is a fool's errand to continue to give them money.

[Guanfei]

I'd try the free update yes, but I wouldn't pay after that.

Because it would be paying for something that doesn't have a certain result. Even if you pay, you're never sure that you'll find someone.

For most services, when you pay, you have what you asked for in the end. Not with dating app. Why would I pay to have exactly the same result as when I don't pay?

[snowboarder720]

Paying per month filters out everyone who’s not looking for commitment. All the f**k boys send dick pics in the free sites.
Talking to someone over a quality dating web site honestly shows the other person that you’re serious about finding a quality match.
Just because you’ve paid doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed match. The dating app can only provide to you the singles in your local area that are on the app.
So if you set up a profile when you live in the middle of nowhere there won’t be an abundance of single women or anything. The apps don’t import singles from out of your area because you pay $60 a month or anything.
You have to know where you stand on committing to a quality relationship and are willing to invest in one which includes dating to find that person.

[snowboarder720]

No.
If it was free that really takes away how genuine the other person is. If the other person can’t commit $60 a month into finding a quality and healthy relationship I’d question what else they will not commit into the relationship itself.

[ZackBan]

I'm already fairly successful without any perks.

I think with the full features I would have a line waiting at my door.

And that's without making online dating a main aspect of my life

[MCheetah]

No. Online dating is pure depression for any man less than a 7 out of 10 and/or under six feet tall.

[coachTanthony]

LOL not true

[Chazmatazz269]

No way. Most of my likes came from hookers and bots anyway! Ell oh ell! If i’m going to spend money to meet people, i’m going to go out into the world and get my money’s worth!

[Anonymous]

I do good on dating apps, but its easier to meet people at the mall, or the store or wherever.
Bumble i had the best experiences on, the quality of the girls are better than on tinder.
I had girls match with me that were 18 or 19 or 20. Most of the girls i matched with were 18 or 19, limited ages cause im only 18.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t need that I have a gag girlfriend I’ve been talking to for over a year

[JaxiCats]

No because those apps have upgrades filled with bots in some cases

[coachTanthony]

LOL just don't talk to the bots

[JaxiCats]

You don’t which are bots because they are actually employee’s for said app who are meant to give you hope and then not get back into contact after a certain period of time.

[JaxiCats]

You don’t know which*

[legalboxers]

@JaxiCats I get worse than bots. I get catfish

[Zachgoat308]

the bots are crazy, you never know, there smart

[clampfan101]

Things like that need to be standard, not upgrades. Unfortunately dating apps/sites are greedy jerks like everyone else, not people playing Cupid like they should be.

[coachTanthony]

It's a business like Burger King. They are entitled to make money at their craft.

[FreyaRed]

People pay for dating apps? Or some upgrades? 🤣

[Shark_61695]

I'd take a free day every six months or so just to eliminate the ones i haven't yet swiped on. I can usually tell from the blurred pic who it is. I'm not that interested in the other features.

[zagor]

With most free upgrades you have to actively cancel or they start charging after the trial period.

[coachTanthony]

Yes that is true lol

[Slartybartfast]

Dating apps, the only good they did me was convincing me never to date again.

[demonics]

Those used to come standard. Now its all behind a paywall. Like charging me a nickel every time I want to jump in a Mario game.

[Sparkie460]

I have no use for dating apps. If I had to get in the dating scene I'd do it the old fashioned way, get out and meet in person

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

Tinder works but only if you have a model-like or bad-boy-like personality

[coachTanthony]

Do you?

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

No. I have gotten a few real matches but none have ever replied to my message

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

nor have I gotten any new matches

[peedy]

No, because they're filled with fake accounts that are destroying to draw you in in order to take your money

[Luopio27]

I think local nightclubs should have way more networking events for singles.

[Jltakk]

Seeing who liked you shouldn't even be a paid function. Only paid function should be boosts, and even then, they don't really do anything.

[snowboarder720]

If you can’t commit financially into finding and maintaining a healthy and quality relationship, a quality and healthy relationship isn’t for you.

[fonduegirl]

Dating apps are boring

[CallmeTheKnight]

Nope. I don't use online dating

[Drumlin2001]

If I were single yeah

[Brandi555]

I have no interest in dating apps.

[Zachgoat308]

Do not go on dating apps, they are a waste of time

[Brandi555]

@Zachgoat308 I don’t. That’s why I said I have no interest.

[Zachgoat308]

ok little girl

[Brandi555]

@Zachgoat308 excuse me?

[Jamie05rhs]

Yes, I would!!

[smahala1991]

I tried dating apps, they lead nowhere

[blueskies97]

Fuck dating apps

[boredguy007]

Why?

[blueskies97]

because they are a waste of time and the guys there just wanna fuck other girls

[boredguy007]

Aas if Girls dont like to fuck on first dates lol xD

[blueskies97]

Plus nowadays it doesn't turn into anything serious its just a cesspool for hookups

[boredguy007]

Facts tho. Follow up?

[Slartybartfast]

Agreed, I'd ather eat glass. In fact it took less than three weeks online to convince me that I was simply not what women want and it would be best for everyone if I stopped even looking at women.

[Wise4myage]

No thanks.

[Fuentes]

Only on Tinder

[enocheli]

nooo lol
