Which dating apps have worked for you for serious relationships?

First up, Hinge. Honestly, it's like the chill, laid-back cousin in the dating app family. They've got this motto, "designed to be deleted," which is pretty cool. It's more about getting into the nitty-gritty of who you are, beyond just your favorite pizza topping. A buddy of mine, Dave, actually met his partner on Hinge.

Then there's Bumble. This one's neat because it flips the script with women making the first move. Also, it is not just for love relationships... I've got a friend, Sarah, who swears by Bumble BFF for meeting new pals.

OkCupid is like the old reliable of dating apps. It's been around the block and knows its stuff. The questionnaires can be a bit of a marathon, but hey, it's worth it if you find someone who gets your Star Wars references, right?

Match. com is more like your traditional dating site but in app form. It's subscription-based, which can be a bit of a bummer, but hey, sometimes you've got to put a few coins in the machine to get the prize.

eHarmony is like the serious matchmaker of the group. They've got this whole system to find 'The One' for you. It's a bit pricier, but if you're all in for finding love, it might just be your golden ticket.

And also, Coffee Meets Bagel. This one's great if you're a bit over the whole swiping saga. It sends you a few select matches each day. Kinda like getting a daily surprise gift, but sometimes the gift is just a pair of socks, y'know?

All in all, it's a bit like trying on different hats – what looks great on your friend might not suit you. It's all about being at the right place at the right time.

Ever since around 2010 or so every dating app I have used was very helpful in me finding women I am most attracted to physically, either petite/slender or have an athletic build usually ended up being an ongoing NSA friends with benefits type of relationship even if their profile showed long-term. I will make it known that I never mislead any women with what I am looking for. I'm brutally honest and make it clear I want the NSA friends with benefits type of relationship and even after having sex, I always stick to my guns when/if the woman starts feeling some other type of way and wants me in a long-term monogamous relationship with her. I'm sure it could have worked for long-term relationships had I wanted In the past or should I currently want that.

badoo

I've heard this one before and downloaded it a looong time ago. I thought it was some kind of scam application because there was nothing but unreasonably ugly people on there.

And I don't mean average/below average/non filtered/normal people - like these pictures had to have been curated from the dregs of the internet.

I don't know maybe its your area..
I use lik 5 apps n met most 'normal' people there... im above average

So I downloaded it just to see and although it's not as bad as it was, there are hardly any people on there in relation to the population and wasn't attracted to any of them (meanwhile there's plenty of attractive women on Tinder/Bumble/3Fun). I also live in the greater Seattle area so I wonder if Badoo is a more regional thing?

[devilish-cutie]

Definitely its about where you live... but i think you can put at least different region. On tinder there are much more fake profiles and people looking for hookup but it is changing now more n more there are even those looking long term relationships
