According to the App’s description “Tinder is a powerful tool to meet people, expand your social group, meet locals when you’re traveling and find people you otherwise never would have met. Making new connections on Tinder is easy and fun—just Swipe Right to Like someone, or Swipe Left to pass. If someone likes you back, It’s a Match! Chat online with your matches, step away from your phone, get out and experience something new in the real world. It’s that simple!”
My Take
If you are single using a dating app you 100000% of the time have downloaded Tinder.The app is VERY straightforward. You see a hot guy, you swipe right, you match, you message…
And then you never hear from them again. REPEAT!
Every once in a while messaging leads to a “date” or an elaborate attempt to get you to their final destination, their bed! If you keep this in mind you will be fine on Tinder.
Sorry to say this is basically a hook-up app. It is simple and to the point, I mean we are basing who we like SOLEY based on looks.
So if you want an app that is:
- Simple
- Fast
- Has a TON of users
- And not focuses of cultivating long lasting relationships.
TINDER IS FOR YOU!
Bumble shows you the people you want to see and lets you connect by a mutual opt in by swiping right. Bumble eliminates that level of awkwardness after a connection is made, and sets the stage for how the convos begin
The woman always makes the first move, and if she doesn't say something to a new connection within 24 hours, that connection disappears forever! For same sex connections, or friendship, either person has 24 hours to make the first move, or that connection will disappear!
Feel like 24 hours just isn't enough time? No problem. We let you extend one connection for an additional 24 hours each day.
My Take
I have no idea what it is with Bumble but 90% of men looks like models! While Tinder is full of guys you see at 2 am leaving a club all sweaty, the men of Bumble are the ones you bring to your family picnic.
Now yes, some of them COULD be a catfish but they are still beautiful to look at. If you are really into making the first move, download this app now! I think having to message within 24 hours shows how there are not enough hours in a day. I honestly truly forget. But his app is like Tinder kicked up a women empowering notch.
If You Want An App That:
- Has a lot of hot men
- Gives you the power to message first
- Hold you accountable of making contact
- Adds pressure
The more complex of the three, Coffee Meets Bagel!
Every day at noon, you‘ll receive potential matches (we call them Bagels) preselected for you so you don’t have to swipe all day. Fellas, you will receive highly curated matches preselected for you by our smart algorithm. Ladies, we will prioritize showing you Bagels that have already liked you and are serious about connecting with you. Why? Because we are fed up with all the swiping and ghosting, and wanted to make sure your time and energy would be focused on guys who are serious about taking the next step. That's right. No more dating games, only guys who like you!
Once there is a match, we’ll connect you in a private chat room and provide icebreaker questions to get your conversation started. We even follow up to encourage actual dates.
Every day, we get smarter by learning what you like. This means over time, your match quality will improve.
My Take
I think that since the process is more complex and I am relying on an “algorithm” I feel like more effort in being put into it and if a user is looking for that in an app then I assume they are looking for a more serious relationship. Coffee Meets Bagel actually forces you to fill out a profile and answer multiple questions. Wayyyyy better then a bio saying
“6’0””
And that’s it! Coffee Meets Bagel gives you their height, ethnicity, religion, likes, and hidden facts that only pop up if you both match. The app also gives you help on what to message daily to maintain conversation!
If You Want An App That:
- Is more in depth
- You like the anticipation of getting up to 6 matches everyday
- You need an active dating coach
- Need a man to put a ring on it but Match seems too old
All apps can be downloaded on Android and Apple phones! Fo Free! HAPPY HUNTING!
