Title says it. I won’t lie the idea of using a dating app is really starting to get my curiosity going. I know there’s a lot of apps out there like Tinder or Bumble, but I wanted to know from you folk out there on what you think is the best one to use. Any & all feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I’m partial to Bumble.
Most successful online dating stories I’ve heard actually happen off of Ok Cupid. I don’t know why people date on Tinder. I’m fairly certain that when Tinder came out, it was a hook up app. People just started calling it a ‘dating app’ because being on Tinder meant you were down to get blown out.
I guess I’ve had most of my success on tinder. Bumble used to be good, but it’s fallen to shit. Hinge is supposed to be better for finding potential partners, but I’ve heard the same complaints about it as I have every other dating app
It probably depends on where you live since different apps seems popular in different areas but I’ve seen several successful relationships from Hinge including mine
It used to be OkCupid, but I think I’ve swiped through the whole userbase in my area now. They’ve also either removed most of the good features or put them behind a paywall; you can’t even have a firm age or distance cutoff without paying, which makes it kind of useless.
I’ve been out of the dating market for about 7 years, but I had by far the most success with Match.com. Seemed to be pretty well moderated, so the scam accounts disappeared quickly, and because the site is useless if you don’t pay, the women on the site were actually using it to find dates, not just as an ego boost. Met my wife through Match.
Had some success with OKCupid, but only once I paid for the added features.
Tinder was just starting to gain traction by the time I shut down my accounts, so I never used it. Seems like I didn’t miss anything.
I spent a few years on several apps like POF, Match, Tinder. I met a few good people but felt it was mostly a waste of time. More than half were lying about something, age, weight or weren’t over their ex. I had a few cry telling me their story. I had one who got pissed because I didn’t try to have sex with her on the first date walking our dogs at her apartment. It just got exhausting and I had a lot going on in my personal and work life.
I think it’s still better to meet people in person.
Bumble
Hinge seems to suck the least… Online dating fucking sucks
Uber. Every time I use it, within 10 minutes I have a date come pick me up in their car and take me out on the town
😀😀😀😃😆😀😂
I don’t have time to get into it now, but these companies don’t want to match you up with anyone, they want to keep you on these apps, and they’ve set up these apps up to do exactly that
Personally I liked bumble when I was using dating apps, mostly because all the initial pressure falls to the woman (i.e., first message) after months of matches with barely any replies on tinder it was nice to have that pressure taken off.
That being said I did learn that (at least from my experience) most woman have less game than I do, and I thought my game was bad.
I used all of them when I was single and I got dates on all of them. It’s not the app…
For me the easiest one was Tinder. But it was mostly for hookups.
Longer term relationships, most success was match and ok Cupid.
*”What is the most practical dating app that actually gets you a date?”*
Offline.
Real life.
Go outside.
Ok let me make this clear where you live makes a difference. When I used dating apps in new york I loved them and only used tinder and bumble always preferred tinder to bumble – but new york is an outlier in dating apps in general. SO now here are some facts New york , LA and Miami are the only cities that men and women do almost equal in terms of success in dating apps and matches every other city women get twice to three times more likes, on average in the cities i mentioned women still beat men but the gap is smaller, So in new york a fast moving city , people meet quickly, guys make there intentions knows quickly ( if a guy is looking for a hook up only he literally writes in the profile or tells you before meeting because they get it a number games) bumble guys because tend to lie and be more beta because women have to say hi first and these guys are :scared of rejection, and cant plan a date etc….
I dont feed into the narrative that tinder is more of a hook up app – if you dont hook up no app is a hook up app. I steer clear of any other ones mainstays are the main ones
