Which app should you use? Which one is the best? Is that so difficult? What happened to developing a crush, investment, and meet-cutes? It is estimated there are 50 million Tinder users around the world, which makes for a big pool—or ocean—to fish in.
PROS : You will get the most action here in the immediate and quantitative sense. You want a date tonight? You want to go on 5 dates this week? Upload some decent pictures, write something slightly witty, and it can easily happen. For example, I met this genuine guy who had just moved here four days prior from Chicago. I met an intelligent, funny guy visiting from the Bay Area who is doing amazing genetic research that will impact the lives of millions.
I experienced some bugs in the app, but it improved with the update from January 30 th. You get ONE match per day at noon based on your Facebook circle, preferences, and location. Once you connect, the chatroom is open for 7 days.
The guys I chatted with and met had—at least on paper—the qualities I am searching for. CONS : Turns out, they hook you by giving you matches the first few days and then it drops to per day.
This is a glacial pace compared to other apps. Unlike Bumble and Tinder, there are no unmatching capabilities. Women control the gateway to communication, reducing the number of unwanted messages. They must message within 24 hours or the match disappears men can extend one match per day for an additional 24 in the hopes the girl will message him. Men here seemed more thoughtful in their picture choices less pictures of just landscape and shirtless selfies. I love that I can sort messages: unread, recent, nearby, and favorites.
