I do a lot of stuff through Meetup. Although the website IS NOT a dating website, so many of the meetup groups are essentially I want to meet sometime to date. The really generic ones like "coffee and chat", "watch films", and "let's hangout" seem to be especially hookup related.
Rock on, ill check it!
Craigslist?
Last time I checked, Craigslist banned personals after Trump signed some law about sex trafficking. It's kinda crap that the result of it was to shut down free personal ads.
There are no good apps tinder ruined everything. Back in ye olde times match.com and okcupid were pretty good. Anyway I grew my boyfriend in a test tube.
My only advice is don't spend too long talking to someone who's giving you nothing back. Ditch and move on. Some people just drag conversations on way past the point they should have ended and tbh I never really understood why.
i havent used tinder in years but it's probably shit now. the only way to get matches(as a man) was to pay and use superlikes. It got the most attention compared to hoping someone swipes on you. Pretty sure most people mention Hinge now though. Lots of people saying you can't meet anyone on there but I met my gf on tinder and it's been 5 years now soooo yea it's possible. My worst relationship(which ive only been in 3 really) was the one i met in person through friends.
if youre autistic you can try hiki its for friendship too. most of the cis men are awful though.
I don't fuck with cis men but I haven't heard of that so ill try it! I am autistic and trans, so that sounds cool
I don't fuck with cis men
healthy choices!
I take good care of myself
the only cis man in my life I like is my brother and thats because i raised him well.
Taimi is the best of for queer people, in my experience.
Never heard of it, will grab!
If you're into alternative lifestyles (kink, BDSM, polyamory, ENM, etc), Feeld. If not, Hinge.
There is none. They all suck.
A solid 5% of me going back to college is to hope to find someone outside of the dating app context.
No one mentioned Feeld? Good if you're looking for poly, kinky, or both, and in a metro area. I met someone great I'm still seeing, really quickly, then not much for a while. But then I'm also in a small city, and a bad demographic for dating.
I got that downloaded! I am in one of the biggest cities in america
This is actually the only app I've had success with
It’s one of those things where everyone agrees dating apps are shit but there’s no other option
Yeah im comiserating about it with a friend rn and swapping dating app stories
As usual, some ghoul’s want for profit is to blame
Hinge and Bumble are better than the alternatives I guess
I'm on them and have been getting a few matches. Just started last night tho so ima give it time
