What's the BEST dating app for you? If you are not using one, would you consider it?

Question

Rosexøxø · Accepted Answer

Here’s the thing about dating apps:

It’s like a courthouse. You can go to a courthouse and find a series of judges, and every single one of them would still have *varying beliefs and varied sets of morals.*

No one would be the same, and you can GO TO a police station, expecting everyone to “love the law,” but you’d be wrong to think so because there would also be criminals there, who may not agree to it, or like it.

So as it is with the courthouse/police station, it is so, with the dating site (s).

Everyone may believe in love on there, or not believe, and that’s just dividing the site into two halves- each halve would still have a variety of people we may or may not mesh with, and for that reason: I don’t do dating apps.

Will I consider it? No

Unless I see something profound with the AI and it’s methods of comparing the information of different daters, and such.

I rather stick to in-person. There’s a unique quality to it.

Dating apps are only as good as the people on them... And every app is going to have horrible people. I find it best to have a care free attitude, I don't get into pointless arguments with idiot people I just unmatch and move on. Dating apps are supposed to be about meeting new people and seeing if you connect, no point dwelling on the people you're incompatible with.

In my personal experience with how people act and and what information you can get out of the person I must have to OkCupid. You can get a pretty good idea of who the person is, since there's a variety of things to fill out to let people know you.

That being said, not everyone will care to read it and use that as something to make the conversation interesting, but that's not the apps fault and you have those people everywhere. But it's a good foundation and it's easier to weed out those who didn't pay attention to your profile.

Unfortunately the app is barely beeing used here in Sweden, so I've had somewhat limited success there for that reason.

I've found Bumble to be the best, but it's still better to meet people IRL

itsalyssaagain · Answer

I was using them for a while. I ended up going on a date with two guys. The first one was really good looking in real life and we ended up going on a few dates. Later I realised he just wanted to get married straight away so we broke things off. The second one was a fucking perve. He made me feel so uncomfortable and I swore I was never meeting a guy again until I felt 100% comfortable enough to. Those experiences mixed with the creepy guys and ghosting, I came off apps for good lol.

Met my husband on hinge. When we went to the courthouse to get married, we met another couple getting married who also met on hinge.

Jazzy54 · Answer

Ehh. I’ve tried them and they’re not not for me. I know that many people have met their S/O or spouse on dating apps, but they’re just not for me. I’m old fashioned anyway. I’d rather meet a man in person. 😊

Sparkie460 · Answer

I've never used a dating app. I found my wife the old fashioned way years before dating apps came out

VikingWarLord · Answer

Best app for what type of dating? Relationship? Hookup? For hookup it's definitely TINDER (close second is Bumble) Relationship probably E-Harmony

PointTaken · Answer

What about G@G? I heard some people met through this.

Adogdog · Answer

I have never used one, but I am single and looking so I may consider.

Reorx · Answer

I'd never use a dating app. I'm not into hookup culture. Currently my circumstances won't allow me to invest 100% into a relationship. I continue to work on myself in the interim. Only way I'm dating a woman is if I think it's leading to marriage. I'll be looking in my friends circle / church when the times right.

arodriguez664 · Answer

I had a ton of hookups off of bumble, but I met my boyfriend off of fb dating.

Poppymarie · Answer

Tinder was always the best for me. It just has the most options. That does mean you have to weed through a lot of weird people though.

sage2021 · Answer

Hold on a sec, I need to ask my boyfriend the question since he has several on his phone. He's in the shower now, I will have to get back with you.

ChiTown33 · Answer

For a guy? Plentoffish a. k. a. plenty of flakes😂 dating is a numbers game for guys (especially online dating). The wider net a gut casts the better his odds. And plenty of fish has the largest database by far.

Nikki1989 · Answer

I use the real world. It never fails.

BeeNee · Answer

Never tried one. I don't think you can rule out dating apps even if you've never tried them because you just never know.

Guardian45 · Answer

I did use them years ago, before the became commercialized and full of trolls, catfish, golddiggers and scammers. Now, I avoid them like the plague!

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Not using one. When it comes time again, I prefer to leave it to fate.

clampfan101 · Answer

I tried so many. None got me any attention, and almost no one stuck out. (Often partly because I don’t pay for the app.)

Molly1997 · Answer

POF, although I used it 8 years ago and I heard it’s changed

Slim57 · Answer

The best dating app for me is NONE, I've tried it but nothing but let downs and disappointment and a waste of my time and effort, I've had dates but nothing worthwhile, real life, with someone local has worked way better

Sharkstealth · Answer

I have never met anyone on any dating app. Only Craigslist which they outlawed.

LiamJHayden · Answer

None. I have enough success in person on cold approaches to not have any desire to go through the dumpster fire of online dating.

Guanfei · Answer

None of them work for, guess I'm not what the ladies want.

Prince_09 · Answer
