Tinder

I found the love of my life and i couldn't have been happier <3 he definitely showed me a lot in my time on there deleted the app because of him.

I find nice people who are interesting to talk to. I enjoy making new friends here. Thanks to the developers.

I used your app to find love and I was wrongfully removed. I never broke the terms and used it to find love. I never did anything wrong

There are a few weird people that use this website, but for the most part its pretty decent. I might be exploring other options.

Having said that, it might be worth at least trying for a week or so, for free. I had no issues installing the app and using it (it's very easy to do, and I'm not a techie sort; and my profile was never randomly deleted, as some often complain about ~ I used it for a couple weeks for free). You do get some matches here and there, but you can't see who they are unless it's a double/mutual match. But, on the downside, to be honest it's probably over about 50% filled with (assuming they're all real users and not bots or spam or hijacked profiles of some sort) vapid 18-yr old to -late 20 something-yr old girls. Many of whom (at the moment at least; ie, June of '21) are still posting their main profile pictures wearing a surgical mask, and/or stating their vaccination status (ok, kind of understandable, that...) at the very outset of their profile. Followed by something like: "HMU on IG... or SC", etc. In short, if you're over, say, your mid to later-30's or so, or you're just not into all these app-types of things and social media in general (beyond perhaps having a FB page) you may not feel like you have all that much in common with many of these people using this app.

Verdict, for me = for free, it was -- almost-- fun (and sometimes even borderline hilarious) to scroll through and 'swipe right' on some people just to see if by random chance they might mutually 'like' you. But don't pay for it. And yes the very concept of simply discarding the entire person immediately ("swiping left") based simply on one or two profile pics alone, is incredibly superficial and shallow. But, wading in these kinds of waters (it's Tinder), with these --many of them at least-- airhead type millennials or Gen Z'ers, what do you really expect?

I decided to give Tinder a try after hearing good reviews but so far it hasn't been a good experience. Unlike most dating sites, this one is basically all about looks. You do not get any information on their personality or hobbies. For me, I like to know about a guy's religion, political stance, hobbies, expectations, what they're looking for, etc. I would like to understand a little bit about someone before wasting my time talking to a guy who doesn't have the same intentions as me.
I also realized that a lot of guys swipe right to every girl just to increase their chances of getting matches. This can be frustrating because when you message them, they do not reply. Being on the site, I've gotten about 10 or 11 matches. Only one guy messaged me first and when I replied back, he never responded. The rest of the time, I was the one putting in all the effort sending messages first and I didn't get any responses. I try to be open to most guys I see. I prefer slim or fit guys, but even then, I swiped right to men who were overweight. There was one incident where I messaged a guy who was a little big and after I sent the message, he unmatched me. (Unmatching happens a lot.)
I just found it laughable how guys who weren't the best looking would unmatch me or block me if they did not think I was worthy of talking to them.
Don't expect to get many matches unless you're a blond, blue eyed model. That goes for men and women. People are a lot more picky on Tinder. Even ugly people expect you to look good.
I also hate how Tinder makes you use Facebook to make an account. Not everyone uses Facebook so those people are at a huge disadvantage.
I will either find a new site or give up on online dating.

Waaaay too secretive, convoluted and vindictive in the way that it assigns your "score" or "visibility" and deals out extremely low scores or even suspected shadowbans and such. Suspected to remember facebook accounts/phone numbers and reassign low scores upon account deletion and re-creation, or penalize you in other ways. And now on the verge of making impossible to truly start a fresh account with a clean slate, score-wise, without using a new phone number.

They make it convoluted and difficult to use it in a reasonable way and get any kind of visibility, whilst at the same time penalizing people for deleting their account and starting over again, which they are obviously going to want to do because of how easy it is to unintentionally brick your account.If you are thinking of installing this and liking a selective handful of profiles that you particularly like the look of, and expect those profiles to ever see yours, think again and choose another app/website. Basically if you don't swipe right on somewhere approaching half of the profiles you see like some kind of horn dog you will get a crap score/visibility, if you haven't used your account for a while you get a crap score/visibility, and so on. It's like you're constantly fighting against it to stay above water, and that just isn't beneficial.

They orchestrate it like this, and periodically remove/retárd functionality, so that a minority of users will pay in an attempt to make it useable or restore functionality that was previously available for free, and this obviously works out for tinder business-wise, because the amount of users that are deleting their accounts and will never touch the thing again, without having paid a single penny, is staggering and increasing every day, so they must be getting enough money from these few, paying users to make it worth it. Useful if you are an instagram or snapchat slut and want to increase your followers though.

Oh, and now you have to repeatedly "verify" a phone number literally every few days just to be able to open the app. Yeah, that'll bring in more users and not annoy existing ones...
