… Or useful. Because I entered badoo and it ask for an expensive fee just to talk with anyone.

    After years of screaming into the void on one of these apps, I did eventually find my current gf there. They have a very poor ROI in terms of time, but they are also where most people go nowadays to meet people. Protip if you’re a straight guy: have a woman friend help you craft your profile, including potentially a dedicated photoshoot.

    Based on my own experience talking to men and women who use dating apps, Hinge is the one to use if you are looking for an actual relationship. That is the one that eventually worked for me. And I know quite a few couples who met there.

    Bumble used to be decent too but they keep removing features. The speed dating feature on Bumble was a godsend for people who can’t get by on looks alone, but who have a decent personality as well.

    Tinder is basically only to be used if you are looking for ONS hookups.

    Note that as a guy you may have to pay for premium features on these apps in order to stand out from crowd. The gender imbalance on the apps is too real.
