Whether you love or loathe Tinder, there is no denying it has changed online dating forever.

As a result there is now no end of apps with the same aim of helping you fall in love and live happily ever after, or at the least find someone to hang out with next weekend.

Whether it's matching you on your favourite interests or finding someone who you share mutual friends with. Here, we take the biggest alternatives to Tinder and give them a spin to find out what (if anything) they do differently and what sets them apart.

Parship

The USP: The serious dating site for serious daters. This Hamburg-headquartered company leads with a couple of facts: a 38 percent success rate for premium Parship members and 23, new members each week. The idea is that Parship uses strictly objective, scientific processes to matchmake, which does rather click with the comedy German stereotype. Imagine Thomas Tuchel reading this bit of bumph from the website: "Sounds complicated. Mathematical. Psychological. But it is very simple. Parship searches – you find." Haunting.

Pros: There's an ID check feature which feels extremely sensible, and the emphasis on finding a match for you who does actually fit what you want and who you are is a good thing.

Cons: You register for free, but then there's a fair old monthly fee of £ for the basic membership package – and it'll renew automatically, so you'd best not forget about it. There are a lot of extremely grumpy reviews from people struggling to make head or tail of the app. Plus, the pool of people in the UK isn't gigantic.

Verdict: Like a more intense reworking of OK Cupid, but without the charm or easy functionality for a casual user, this one feels like it's got some way to go before it goes overground.

Kippo

The USP: Liking the same things is the starting point of so many relationships, it does make a lot of sense to build a dating app around finding the fandoms and subcultures you're into already. Kippo doesn't style itself explicitly as a dating app, rather a place to find friends and hang out, but there's certainly a lot of sifting through profiles in hope of matching with people you fancy in the time-honoured manner. Fill out a form detailing which games you love plus the usual trad stuff about what you're looking for in a friend/partner, and on you go. It's the dating app for proud nerds and hardened gamers.

Pros: It's not just a case of sifting through pictures – there's the Kippoverse to wander around, looking something like a GameBoy era Pokémon universe. Play games, hang out with people, and audio chat with new mates. Depending on how much you liked Habbo Hotel, you might find the interface endearingly retro or maddeningly cutesy.

Cons: The clientele definitely skews younger, which might make you feel extremely 'How do you do fellow kids'. Suspicions that the Metaverse-lite interface is a bit too close to the thing Zuckerberg wants to boot you and your consciousness into will persist.

Verdict: For the shy dater, this is a godsend: there are so many icebreakers at hand to give you a simple in with whoever you're chatting to, plus the audio call functionality is both more intimate than just text and less open to abuse than video calling. You might not go out with someone just because they also like PUBG but it's a foot in a door.

The Sauce

The USP: The TikTokification of dating apps has already started, but The Sauce does away with stuffy, boomerish concepts like 'still images' entirely and instead has users approve or disapprove of each other by uploading videos of themselves. That, co-founder Sachin Kara says, means you can expect "Instagram stories, Reels, the odd TikTok and playful videos usually filmed by someone’s mate thrown into the mix, allowing members to get to know their match before they’ve even sent their first like".

Pros: Getting a read on someone's vibe is a lot easier with sound, movement and the sudden realisation that you were both in Rowan's arcade room the other Saturday night. Plus, you've got a lot more leeway to get creative and avoid the dreaded profile picture triumvirate of 'man holding fish', 'man with arm around four other men', and ''

Cons: Watching other people's Insta stories can be a bit tedious at the best of times. Also, might feel a bit like doing one of those excruciatingvideo pre-interviews for an internship. Let's keep those memories pushed deep, deep down.

Verdict: A lot livelier and more fun than your average app format, and it does make it easier to filter out anyone who's got a sideline in lame Olly Murs-lite pranks.

alovex.co

Victoria

This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

The USP: Properly styled as 'Victoria the app', just in case you get it mixed up with 'Victoria the rail terminus' or 'Victoria the Beckham', this is less a straightforward dating app than a member's club with a bit where you can get your sauce on. The idea is to help people connect through curated experiences suggested according to your shared interests. It's also got a networking function for anyone looking for a partner in the boardroom rather than the bedroom.

Pros: There's an extremely no time-wasters vibe to the whole enterprise, and you're not likely to end up doing the same thing as you always do if you hit it off with someone on the app and meet up in real life. The app has a load of

Cons: It's a bit Soho House. If you've limited patience for hearing about your date's plans to push into SaaS marketing or minting some NFTs of some pieces from their flatmate's art show in Deptford, you might find it a little much.

Verdict: If you're comfortable with only dating within a very particular echelon of society, and aren't put off by the slightly wiffly 'Who is the Victoria member?' section on the website ("Driven — Members pursue their dreams and passions with intensity. They are pushed to excel, to do more, to be better in every facet of their career and personal life" etc), then jump in.

alovex.co

The Intro

The USP: The Intro positions itself as the dating app for the busy urban professional. It skips the bit where you spend three weeks running through the 'have you got any brothers or sisters' stage and skips straight to video calls, and it even does the scheduling for the pair of you too. It's a bit like having a PA whose only remit is to sort out facetime with hotties.

Pros: It's a lot more time efficient, person-focused and tactile than tapping out messages for however long, and you can get a proper vibe off someone before you go spending a whole evening of your precious, precious time with them.

Cons: There's a teeny whiff of the, "Hi, yah, buddy" Square Mile broseph about it. Just because you're spending 15 hours a day squeezing emerging markets and shifting units before Tokyo opens, it doesn't mean you should be spared the swipe-match-chat-ignore drudgery of most apps. It's the great leveller.

Verdict: A little bit Train Guy in the conception, but anything that whittles down the chances of anyone using the monkey hiding its eyes emoji to take the edge off whatever wildly overfamiliar opening line they've used 50 times that day is a good thing.

alovex.co

Jungle Dating

The USP: Throwing yourself into solo dates all the time can end up feeling quite lonely, especially if they're not tending to go quite how you'd like them to. So, Jungle is a platform for organising double dates for yourself and a mate.

Pros: Turning the dating game into a team pursuit makes it a lot more fun, and at the very least you and whichever mate you bring along will get some anecdotes out of the whole thing. Hopefully it's a dynamic which will make single women feel more comfortable, and there's also a lot more chance you're going to just make some new friends, which is always nice.

Cons: It only launched in July in London, so the pool is likely to be a little smaller than the other apps on this list. Also kind of depends on you having mates who are good crack, but not such great crack that your opposite numbers only fancy them and not you. And if you thought sorting out a time to go for brunch with one other person, try it with four diaries on the go.

Verdict: A nice idea, especially in a gigantic megacity that sees thousands of awkward two-drink Tuesday night dates every week. One to keep an eye on.

alovex.co

Thursday

The USP: Many conversations you have on dating apps go absolutely nowhere. There are a number of reasons for this. Some nascent chats are simply overwhelmed by the sheer number of other romantic options that are available to the user at all times (why tolerate some less-than-stellar small talk when there are so many other people to talk to?) while longer conversations peter out over the course of weeks, as incessant back and forth robs both parties of their best material before they’ve even met up. Thursday attempts to solve this problem by only allowing users to match and talk on – you guessed it – Thursday. It builds anticipation, allows people to get straight to the point, and encourages the organising of actual dates.

Pros: While other apps can often function as a game at this point – something to swipe while you’re on the bus – Thursday is all about spontaneity and IRL encounters. It’s been a big thing in New York for a while, but has only recently launched in London.

Cons: Its strengths are also its drawbacks. Most people go on their dating apps on the weekend, specifically Sunday. A strict hour period, on a working day no less, adds a sense of pressure to proceedings.

Verdict: An interesting concept.

alovex.co

Feeld

The USP: Originally called 3nder, Feeld is sex-positive dating app for polyamorous couples who want to explore bringing a third into their bedroom, but it’s also a place where people can explore other kinks as well. That being said, it doesn’t allow nudity and takes great lengths to ensure users feels safe on the platform. The audience is mostly made up of young straight couples, but the app encourages everyone to join in and gender options are relatively vast for a dating app. Usefully, there’s a mode which allows you to stay invisible to any Facebook friends who might be using the app too (you have to sign in through the social media site in the first place, which it scrapes your personal information from.)

Pros: The platform creators care about the safety and privacy of their user base, and have created a respectful community as a result. The group chat feature is handy, obviously. Safer than many other options on the internet.

Cons: Fake profiles abound. At £ a month it’s not exactly cheap, but you can get a better deal by going for a 90 day membership package. Some people might resent the need for Facebook verification.

Verdict: Of all the threesome apps on the market, this is the only one to break into the mainstream. It’s easy to see why.

alovex.co

MATCH

The USP: alovex.co is Old Internet – it launched in ! Before Google! Before you even had a computer! – so we understand any scepticism you might have. What are we going to suggest next, an AOL chat room? Habbo Hotel? The dating world is about gimmicks and ever-advancing AI. Why would you look backwards when you could just download the trendy new app?

But alovex.co has survived this long for a reason. It’s moved with the times from an algorithmic standpoint but remains extremely stripped-back and basic. The filters are extensive, and while the ‘like’ system is very similar to Tinder, the discover page allows a more curated window-shopping experience. The MatchPhone feature also provides you with a custom, totally anonymous phone line that allows you to chat without monitoring (you can block the caller if need be).

Pros: The phone app is simple, and the service has a wide database of users.

Cons:A one-month subscription is £, which is pretty crazy. Three months works out at £/m and six boils down to £/m.

Verdict: VINTAGE FUN with a NEW AGE FEEL.

alovex.co

Facebook Dating

The USP: It’s safe to say that Facebook Dating has arrived about a decade too late. People are probably far less keen to involve Zuckerberg and co in their love lives following the Cambridge Analytica privacy fall-out of , and the site’s popularity amongst young people is dropping off. Still, it was always perfectly suited to hosting a dating app and now it's here, completely free, simple to set up and integrated with the rest of site’s myriad social features.

Pros:It’s easy to find others with similar interests through the group function, and there’s a ‘Secret Crush’ feature that allows you to select Facebook friends who you’re interested in (they won’t see if they don’t choose you too.)

Cons: It’s Facebook.

Verdict:Free and easy to use

falovex.co

Hinge

The USP: "Designed to be deleted", as the company's motto goes.

Pros: It delves deep into your preferences to make sure matches are as suitable as possible, and it easily has the most impressive (and sleek) profile experience. You can also send 'likes' in reference to specific elements of their profile, and send messages to mutual matches.

Cons: The sheer amount of profile questions and features creates a pressure to impress – but then, is that any different to other dating apps?

Verdict: A great experience from start to finish.

alovex.co

Badoo

The USP: With more than million members, Badoo is one of the world's most popular dating apps and part of the same umbrella company as Bumble. Uniquely, it allows users to live stream to potential partners.

Pros: It's a non-swiping app and allows you a smaller pool of potential dates tailored to your taste.

Cons: It's doesn't have quite as many features as some competitors.

Verdict: If you've got very specific tastes Badoo might work for you but fancying someone because they look like a celebrity is so rarely how attraction works.

alovex.co

Guardian Soulmates

The USP: As one of the longest standing dating sites on the internet, The Guardian’s Soulmates service doesn’t need to prove its credentials. Perhaps that’s why it’s one of the only apps that requires a paid subscription to fully utilise (and at £35/month, it doesn’t come cheap.)

So what are you getting for that money? None of the bells and whistles that we’ve come to expect from modern dating apps, that’s for sure. This is a back-to-basics service that relies on its like-minded and loyal user base (more than 80 per cent of members read the Guardian, and unlike many dating apps men only slightly outnumber women). It also offers regular singles events for users, a regularly updated Soulmates blog and a highly refined search function.

Pros: A strong reputation and compatible crowd

Cons: Not as innovative or packed with features as newer dating apps.

Verdict: Worth the money if sitting in the pub on a Sunday quietly reading The Observer is one of your kinks.

alovex.co

Coffee Meets Bagel

The USP: Their mantra and methodology is explained thus: "Each day at noon, guys will receive up to 21 quality matches – known as 'Bagels'. They are given the option to either LIKE or PASS. Then, Coffee Meets Bagel will curate the best potential matches for women among the men who expressed interest."

Pros: A more curated selection than just endlessly swiping through everyone.

Cons: The app requires you to give over control over to someone else to decide for you.

Verdict: CMB only lets you see people who have liked you, so no torturing yourself about 'the one that got away'. Think of it as a time-effective dating app.

alovex.co

Down

The USP: Gives you the chance to tell your friends (rather than strangers) that you want to sleep with them.

Pros: There is a strange thrill in being able to 'swipe' that acquaintance you've always fancied, asking them for a date (up) or telling them you want to sleep with them (down). Until you realise how pathetic it is.

Cons: It pulls in every single woman who happens to be your friend on Facebook, even if they haven't joined Down yet (your cowardly come on will be waiting for them if they ever do), making it rather pointless.

Verdict: The more you think about it, the less sense Down makes. Isn't the whole point of internet dating that you can meet someone new? This hook-up app for friends (and friends of friends) is the equivalent of passing 'I Like You' notes in class.

alovex.co

Happn

The USP: Hook up with the people you walk past on the street.

Pros: Once you get over the slight stalker complex Happn instils on you by showing women who walked past your front door an hour ago, matching with users within a metre radius is actually quite handy. Chances are you live or work in the same area, so arranging a date becomes a lot simpler.

Cons: If the date goes horribly, there are no assurances you won't bump into her when you're buying milk a few days later. Also, spend too much time on it and you start getting paranoid you're seeing 'someone you liked on Happn' every time you sit in your local cafe.

Verdict: One of the most effective – and convenient – dating apps out there. Until it isn't.

alovex.co

HER

The USP: A progressive dating app designed for queer, bisexual and lesbian women that boasts a worldwide membership of 4 million, the free version of the app allows users to view mutually matched profiles and chat, while the premium option lets you view the photos and names of those who like you, and gives you unlimited swipes. The gender options are also very inclusive, including female, non-binary, agender, gender fluid and intersex.

Pros: The app notifies users about LGBTQ+ events that are happening in the local area.

Cons: It only lets you sign up through your Facebook or Instagram account, which many are loath to do (but it only uses your first name).

Verdict: The most popular lesbian dating app in the world for a reason.

OKCupid

The USP: Endless personality quiz questions that give you a match percentage with would-be partners.

Pros: You can weed out people with traits or points of view you find simply unacceptable. Racists, bigots and Mumford & Sons fans, then.

Cons: Too many basic functions are restricted to paid membership.

Verdict: Worth a shot, if only to kill time answering bizarre questions about yourself.

alovex.co

Plenty Of Fish

The USP: It's a huge ocean, with more members than any of the others (around 70 million).

Pros: Unlike most of the other apps, doing the basics on PoF – looking at profiles, sending and reading messages – is absolutely free.

Cons: A high number of sexually frustrated virgin-trolls means a lot of women find using it a harrowing experience, which understandably makes them cagey when you, a normal man, comes along. It's disheartening how many women have to resort to 'please no sex pests' appendices on their profile information.

Verdict: Easy to navigate, simple and free to use, void of distracting gimmicks. And unlike Tinder, users tend to write a bit about themselves, meaning you have more to go on (and sell yourself with) than just your five least-worst selfies.

alovex.co

Grindr

The USP: It really works. If you happen to be gay, bisexual or curious.

Pros: Easy and efficient to use, you can find a hook-up within minutes.

Cons: It is notoriously 'glitchy', with messages disappearing and some functions not working properly.

Verdict: The app that started it all, Grindr has been helping men who like men improve their sex lives since Whether they are honest about it or not, every heterosexual internet dating app out there aspires to be the 'Grindr for straight people'. Has is happened yet? Not even close.

Grindr

Lumen

The USP: Dating for overs.

Pros: Most (if not all) dating apps provide age boundaries, but Lumen is the first dedicated service for people over the age of 50, with a verification system that keeps bots and scammers at bay.

Cons: Not a lot of search filter options. All opening messages must feature more than 50 characters, which means you can't rely on the tried-and-tested "Wazzzuuuppp?!?!"

Verdict: Asimple interface, strong security focus and growing community means that Lumen's future is bright for this mature dating app.

Inner Circle

The USP: Members are vetted, and they also run IRL singles events.

Pros: The screening process ensures out-and-out perverts are banished, which means everyone wins (except the perverts). The fun and well-organised events means membership feels a bit more like a club, and less like pin-balling around a vast galaxy of random singletons.

Cons: After sending someone a message, you're notified when they're checking your profile, which means you can actually see yourself being rejected in real time. But hey, that's life.

Verdict: Pulling together the best elements of other older dating apps, Inner Circle is the best all-rounder out there with the highest quantity of people you'd actually like to meet. £5 a week for the advanced user options is just too much, though.

alovex.co

Bumble

The USP: Like Tinder, except once you match, only the ladies can make the first move and say hello.

Pros: It means women have an extra barrier against the 'hey hun wanna fuk??' brigade, which is good for all concerned. It also means if she's got in touch with you, you definitely weren't an 'accidental swipe', meaning you'll be leaving less of those unanswered hellos that slowly chip away at your soul.

Cons: None, really. Though one minor gripe is that Bumble's algorithm clearly pulls ten of the highest rated profiles to the top of your feed every time you log in. Parading the hottest – and least obtainable – women in front of your face every time you log in feels a little bit manipulative.

Verdict: A dating app where women need not fear to tread, and where the sting of rejection is largely removed for you. Win-win.

alovex.co

Luxy

The USP: Connect with verified millionaires.

Pros: The site boasts a large portfolio of high earners and offers 24/7 customer service for their members.

Cons: Sadly, you also need to be a millionaire. People tend to upload shots of their huge houses.

Verdict: Aside the obviously Dickensian classism all over the site, it also has an understandably odd mixture of trust fund brats and retired divorcees. Luxy does however offer high security to protect your privacy and weeds out people looking for a sugar daddy or mumma.

alovex.co

Muddy Matches

The USP: It's a dating service for countryside lovers, rather than people who don't bathe.

Pros: You don't actually have to live in the countryside. You just need to be into the rural scene. Rambling, jodhpurs, chortling, wax gilets, shovelling poo. All that good stuff.

Cons: Full membership (which allows you to send messages) comes in at £94/year.

Verdict: No other app can guarantee you a weekly polo tutorial. For that, it's worth the yearly fee.

Tastebuds

The USP: Fall in love with someone who shares your music taste.

Pros: A nice way to connect with people on something you're passionate about, or it can be used to find friends to visit gigs with.

Cons: Just because you both like Kings of Leon doesn't really mean you're made for each other.

Verdict: A nice concept and considering music is a personal passion that connect a lot of people, Tastebuds actually has more of a USP than most niche interest apps. However the same warnings apply – you may be looking for your dream girl who loves Ok Computer, but you're going to end up with a page of middle-aged Radiohead loving blokes like yourself.

Pickable, a new online dating concept, recently launched, offering women a way to pick up men around them without ever having to expose their identity. This is the first and only dating platform to completely remove women's exposure in the online dating world. By Pickable

Pickable, a new online dating concept, recently launched, offering women a way to pick up men around them without ever having to expose their identity. This is the first and only dating platform to completely remove women’s exposure in the online dating world. For women, Pickable will require no photo, no name, no age and no description — female users will not even need to sign up. With this app, women are liberated from wondering if their friends, colleagues or family members might come across their profile, or have insight into their dating life — details which they wouldn’t otherwise reveal.

A Way to Put Yourself Out There Without Exposing Yourself

Pickable is the only app where women no longer feel like their dating life is exposed to the public. On other apps, anyone might stumble across their profile, and make them feel less at ease with how, when, who — or if — they date online at all. Pickable, unlike any other dating app on the market, offers women the empowering feature of complete anonymity. Women open the app, choose men they like, and that’s it. No more unwanted attention from men they’re not interested in, and no more parading their profile and picture to men they don’t want to meet.

Pickable provides a more tailored experience for men as well. They no longer need to swipe right; they can instead simply look through the chat requests they receive and decide who to respond to. As much as this is a unique experience for women, it’s also the only dating app where men won’t browse women at all. They’ll upload a picture, set themselves as “Pickable” for a certain timeframe, and then sit back and wait for women to contact them. Men have a dashboard, with real-time updates of the women currently browsing their photos, and will receive chat requests from women in proximity who want to meet them.

Men have a dashboard, with real-time updates of the women currently browsing their photos, and will receive chat requests from women in proximity who want to meet them. By Pickable

While most dating apps rely on swiping, long survey responses and personal profile data, Pickable gives men a platform that is uncomplicated and promotes instant gratification. For women, this creates a worry-free dating experience, that is seamless, comfortable, and private.

“Pickable is revolutionizing the dating app space by building a platform that encourages easy, location-based dating, but at the same time getting entirely rid of women’s exposure and making safety a priority. No more swiping. Now it’s picking,” says Tamara Goldstein, CEO of Pickable.

The widely anticipated app is available in the Google Play and the App Store. To download the free app simply search ‘Pickable’.

The Crimson's news and opinion teams—including writers, editors, photographers, and designers—were not involved in the production of this article.

Manoeuvring your way through the online dating sphere as a woman means balancing expectations, microaggressions and wading through unsolicited dick pics.

Pickable is a new app that lets women users sign up and be anonymous – no names, pictures, or descriptions. Men, however, are expected to provide a photo and have the option of adding a bio of themselves.

“To ‘pick’ a guy, the woman must first send him a personal and private photo that only he will see. Women are invisible to anyone on the app since they don't have a profile or a picture. Therefore, neither their exes, nor their friends, colleagues or bosses can see them,” the description for it reads.

“Men cannot browse. They wait and relax until they receive a photo and chat request. Guys have the option to accept and chat, or skip and move on. The Pickable model aims to cut back lengthy online chats and take dating into the real world much faster than other apps.”

It remains unseen as to how this app will encourage people to meet each other in real life. There’s also a little issue with the women on the app being real at all. Using a phone number for verification to prove that you’re a real person is a little weak also, considering you can order new sim cards for free online.

The pictures women send can either be a fresh shot or an existing image from your phone’s gallery leaving the door open for catfishing and random shitposting. According to Gizmodo, the app allowed them to send a picture of a Christmas card to potential suitors which is basically useless and opens the floodgates for spam. 

There have been a number of apps that have tried redress the balance between heterosexual couples, with Bumble making its whole premise about women engaging with their matches first only.

In the end, the answer to finding the right person might not be down to an algorithm or new app, we might have to go back to the Stone Age and talk to people we don’t know in real life.

Pure is a casual dating app for open-minded and adventure-seeking individuals to show up in the most playful version of themselves and try dating on their own terms. It’s a shame-free space where one can be open with their desires, honest about their intentions, and clear in their boundaries, meeting and connecting with like-minded singles and couples all over the world.

* HOW DOES PURE WORK?
Everything starts with posting your Personal Ad. Your Ad can be a simple bio describing what kind of experience you’re looking for (meet couples rather than a single person, for example, try out casual dating and fast dating) and a profile photo(s) of your choice. Be creative, respectful, and original with your ad – a sense of humor is always appealing.

* NO BORDERS ON PURE
Pure is a great place for open minded dating, especially when you move around a lot. Paris, New York, or Moscow? There are no geographical limits on the app: you can either find people in your area or pick any city and country across the globe to connect with those you fancy. We promise to deliver your likes quickly to anyone that caught your attention.

* THE BEST PLACE FOR BOLD CONVERSATIONS AND VIDEO CHATS
An anonymous chat is created once you have matched with someone, and every chat self-destructs after 24 hours upon matching. In case you want to keep communicating – it is possible to turn the chat timer off as long as both parties agree to it. Video chats within the app are also a great way to get to know your match, test your chemistry, and make sure the person you are talking to is real.

* WHAT HAPPENS ON PURE STAYS ON PURE
Unlike most hookup sites, photos self-destruct right after being seen, and screenshots are prohibited. All the information you share with someone when you are chatting including messages, photos, and voice notes, cannot be saved to their phone's gallery, recorded or shared elsewhere.

* YOUR PURE EXPERIENCE IS OUR MISSION
Safety and security in our community are our key priorities. We’re constantly improving our algorithms to find and get rid of scams and spam accounts. Our system is sensitive to trigger words that might be used by scammers and sends automatic alerts in case those are detected, so don't be surprised in case you get a warning.
Keep chatting anonymously via Pure and do not switch to other messengers to protect your privacy and keep yourself secure. You know what they say: better safe than sorry.

* PURE IS INCLUSIVE
Pure is an open dating community for straight, LGBTQ+, trans, non-binary, and queer people. You can also meet couples or meet singles. Pure is dedicated to inclusivity and equality, so it’s possible to indicate your orientation and gender identity in your profile, as well as find matches based on theirs.

Adults only - you must be at least 18 years old to use the app. Underage usage is prohibited.

Pure is not just a hookup app but what you make of it – whether you are seeking a meetup, a casual encounter, flirting, or just want to talk to strangers nearby or abroad — PURE is the right place to turn your desires into reality. Here you can flirt, seek for casual relationship with no strings attached, experience fast dating on your terms.

PURE is a subscription-based dating app and uses auto-renewing subscriptions.

Here’s what you should know about PURE subscriptions:

It's never been easy to find a partner, and challenges from COVID has made dating even more complicated. Luckily, even if you're not getting out as much as you used to, online dating sites and mobile dating apps can help you make connections that lead to a long-term relationship (or even a fun fling!). Yes, the internet is a wonderful thing.

But where to start? There are lots of good dating websites and apps, whether you're looking to meet new people, try casual dating, find others with similar interests or finally find your ideal match for a long term relationship. I took into consideration everything from each online dating service's dating pool to whether it provides daily matches to whether it's a free dating app or a paid service. A new person that fits your exact dating profile is sure to be out there!

Here's an overview of the best dating sites on the market, anonymous dating apps. My recommendations are based primarily on my own experiences in the online dating platform arena as a woman, with some word-of-mouth impressions from friends thrown in for good measure.

So what are you waiting for? Sign up for these top dating sites or apps, start chatting and maximize your chances of meeting your perfect match. We'll update this list periodically.

Bumble

Bumble is basically Tinder for women and on a timer. Bumble is a free dating app that requires women to message first. If the guy doesn't message back within 24 hours, he loses the potential dates. Because that's the one thing my love life was really missing: Arbitrary time limits.

The timer is designed to encourage contact and some people really do appreciate that feature. But if you're someone who procrastinates, Bumble may not be for you. Because women must message first, Bumble tends to weed out the more insecure males from the dating pool. However, the rate of overly confident men tends to be higher than I've seen on other apps. Bumble also has a BFF feature to help you meet new people, but that's really not our focus, so I'll save it for another time. 

Tinder

Whether you're looking for a casual hookup, potential date, friendship or an LTR (long term relationship), Tinder has you covered. It's basically the first stop for those entering the dating world. If you want to play the odds when it comes to online dating, you need to be swiping where everyone's swiping.

On the upside, anonymous dating apps, the profiles are brief, which helps you to make decisions quickly. The downside is that a short dating profile makes it harder to figure out what a lot of people are looking beat dating app. Knowing very little about a person anonymous dating apps also make initial messaging a free adult dating website more challenging. You'll need to wade through a sea of profiles, which makes it easy to pass over people you might have given a chance under different circumstances. 

OkCupid

OkCupid, how you confuse me. I have friends who've met their ideal match and even spouses through OkCupid. My last serious relationship came from the OkCupid dating service, anonymous dating apps. In fact, I've been on OkCupid on and off, for roughly the last 11 years. Profiles are a lot more in-depth than most online dating sites and if you answer a seemingly endless series of questions (much like a personality test), anonymous dating apps, they will spit out a reasonable Match/Enemy percentage ratio on profiles to help you gauge compatibility based on interests.

Changes in the last few years have made OkCupid a bit more like Tinder (both owned by the same company), focusing more on swiping and eliminating the ability to message a user without matching with them first. Online daters can still send a message -- it just won't show up in the recipient's inbox unless you match. Because who doesn't enjoy sending a thoughtful message to someone who might never see it? However, OkCupid has pointed out anonymous dating apps these changes did help lower the number of offensive messages and fake profiles people received, which might be a worthwhile trade-off. Unfortunately in my experience OkCupid has become a bit of an online dating app ghost town.

Hinge

Hinge

Hinge finally won me over, anonymous dating apps, becoming my favorite dating app. Originally the app focused on common connections and mutual friends that you and a potential partner shared on Facebook, which was a gimmick I was never sold on. But it has since pivoted away from this model. Hinge has designed the app to make user profiles more engaging (and helpful) than on apps like Tinder. You have the option of displaying a anonymous dating apps of useful information that could be deal breakers: Your political leanings, your religion, your alcohol consumption frequency or even your interest level in having children someday. The prompts provided by Hinge make it easy to create more engaging profiles, anonymous dating apps. Hinge's current slogan is "designed to be deleted," so if a potential match for a serious relationship is what you're looking for, this is the dating app I would recommend.

Coffee Meets Bagel

Coffee Meets Bagel hopes to offer people better-quality matches by sending curated daily matches, or "bagels," each day at noon. They suggest ice-breakers for first messages and the profiles are more in-depth than Tinder. For people who like a little extra hand-holding, CMB isn't the worst option. However, I found the app confusing to use, anonymous dating apps, with too many features and a lot of gimmicks. I shouldn't have to look up online tutorials to figure out how to use a dating app, anonymous dating apps. Plus why call matches Bagels?

I was also disappointed in the notifications, which I found too pushy. CMB was constantly "gently" reminding me to message people I'd matched with. I eventually disabled the app after receiving the following notification: "Show [match name] who's boss and break the ice today!" Should a potential future relationship be rooted in a hierarchical power dynamic? At the end of the day, I have friends who've had the perfect match on CMB, but it isn't one of my favorite online dating apps. 

Happn

Happn matches you with people who are located nearby. It's a cool concept and helpful for people who want to meet someone in a more organic manner. That said, I've never met a single person who actually uses the app.

After signing up, Happn showed me 68 people it said I'd crossed paths with in the preceding 3 hours, though I hadn't left my apartment all day. This might be helpful if you're looking to date your immediate neighbors (or Uber drivers), but I don't see the attraction when competitors like Tinder already show the distance between you and other users. Frankly, if I saw an attractive guy in a coffee shop, I'd just approach anonymous dating apps rather than check to see if he's on Happn. The app seems designed for people anonymous dating apps don't want to use online dating sites but also don't want to approach people in real life. Pick a lane.

The League

The League is an "elite dating app" that requires you to apply -- and supply your job title, college and LinkedIn profile. Big cities tend to have long waiting lists, so you might find yourself twiddling your thumbs as your application to be one of the elite singles on the app is reviewed. (Of course, you can pay to expedite the process.) The exclusivity can be a draw for some and a turnoff for others, but I'll let you in on a online dating has changed everything I've seen most of the profiles I come across on The League on other dating apps, too. So at the end of the day, you'll probably see the same faces for potential dates on Tinder, anonymous dating apps, if you aren't deemed elite enough for The League.

Her

Most dating apps are fairly LGBTQ inclusive. Still, it's nice to have an app to call your own. Her is tailored to lesbian, bisexual and queer women. It's a worthy notion -- but anonymous dating apps app has some bugs and glitches that made it frustrating to use. Most of my queer female friends have told me they found the app "just OK" and not perfect and that they usually end up back on Tinder or Bumble. Still I checked it regularly for some time and had a few pleasant conversations with actual human beings. Isn't that all we're really looking for in a dating app?

Clover

Clover tried to be the on-demand version of online dating sites, letting you order a date much like you would a pizza. It also provides numeric match predictions based on compatibility and interests, though it isn't entirely clear how those numbers are calculated.

I was on Clover for quite some time, but had since forgotten it existed until I started to compile this list. It strikes me as a less-successful hybrid of OkCupid and Tinder with a relatively small user base, even though I live in an urban area with plenty of people who use a wide variety of dating apps. Clover says it has nearly 6 million users, 85% of whom are between the ages of 18 and

Whether you love or loathe Tinder, there is no denying it has changed online dating forever.

As a result there is now no end of apps with the same aim of helping you fall in love and live happily ever after, or at the least find someone to anonymous dating apps out with next weekend.

Whether it's matching you on your favourite interests or finding someone who you share mutual friends with. Here, anonymous dating apps, we take the biggest alternatives to Tinder and give them a spin to find out what (if anything) they do differently and what sets them apart.

Parship

The USP: The serious dating site for serious daters, anonymous dating apps. This Hamburg-headquartered company leads with a couple of facts: a 38 percent success rate for premium Parship members and 23, new members each week. The idea is that Parship uses strictly objective, scientific processes to matchmake, which does rather click with the comedy German stereotype. Imagine Thomas Tuchel reading this bit of bumph from the website: "Sounds complicated. Mathematical. Psychological. But it is very simple. Parship searches – you find." Haunting.

Pros: There's an ID check feature which feels extremely sensible, and the emphasis on finding a match for you who does actually fit what you want and who you are is a good thing.

Cons: You register for free, but then there's a fair old monthly fee of £ for the basic membership package – and it'll renew top us totally free dating sites, so you'd best not forget about younger older dating sites. There are a lot of extremely grumpy reviews from people struggling to make head or tail of the app. Plus, the pool of people in the UK isn't gigantic.

Verdict: Like a more intense reworking of OK Cupid, anonymous dating apps, but without the charm or easy functionality for a casual user, anonymous dating apps, this one feels like it's got some way to go before it goes overground.

Kippo

The USP: Liking the same things is the starting point of so many relationships, anonymous dating apps, it does dating ariane sex guide a lot of sense to build a dating app around finding the fandoms and subcultures you're into already. Kippo doesn't style itself explicitly as a dating app, rather a place to find friends and hang out, but there's certainly a lot of sifting through profiles in hope of matching with people you fancy in the time-honoured manner. Fill out a form detailing which games you love plus the usual anonymous dating apps stuff about what you're looking for in a friend/partner, and on you anonymous dating apps. It's the dating app for proud nerds and hardened gamers.

Pros: It's not just a case of sifting through pictures – there's the Kippoverse to wander around, looking something like a GameBoy era Pokémon universe. Play games, hang out with people, and audio chat with new mates. Depending on how much you liked Habbo Hotel, you might find the interface endearingly retro or maddeningly cutesy, anonymous dating apps.

Cons: The clientele definitely skews younger, which might make you feel extremely 'How do you do fellow casual dating and adult. Suspicions that the Metaverse-lite interface is a bit too close to the thing Zuckerberg wants to boot you and your consciousness into will persist.

Verdict: For the shy dater, this is a godsend: there are so many icebreakers at hand to give you a simple in with whoever you're chatting to, plus the audio call functionality is both more intimate than just text and less open to abuse than video calling. You might not go out with someone just because they also like PUBG but it's a foot in a door.

The Sauce

The USP: The TikTokification of dating apps has already started, but The Sauce does away with stuffy, boomerish concepts like 'still images' entirely and instead has users approve or disapprove of each other by uploading videos of themselves. That, co-founder Sachin Kara says, means you can expect "Instagram stories, Reels, the odd TikTok and playful videos usually filmed by someone’s mate thrown into the mix, allowing members to get to know their anonymous dating apps before they’ve even sent their first like".

Pros: Getting a read on someone's vibe is a lot easier with sound, movement and the sudden realisation that you were both in Rowan's arcade room the other Saturday night. Plus, you've got a lot more leeway to get creative and avoid the dreaded profile picture triumvirate of 'man holding fish', 'man with arm around four other men', and ''

Cons: Watching other people's Anonymous dating apps stories can be a bit tedious at the best of times. Also, might feel a bit like doing one of those excruciatingvideo pre-interviews for an internship. Let's keep those memories pushed deep, deep down.

Verdict: A lot livelier and pagan singles dating site fun than your average app format, and it does make it easier to filter out anyone who's got a sideline in lame Olly Murs-lite pranks.

alovex.co

Victoria

This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more anonymous dating apps, at their web site.

The USP: Properly styled as 'Victoria the app', just in case you get it mixed up with 'Victoria the rail terminus' or 'Victoria the Beckham', this is less a straightforward dating app than a member's club with a bit where you can get your sauce on. The idea is to help people connect through curated experiences suggested according to your shared interests. It's also got a networking function for anyone looking for a partner in the boardroom rather than the bedroom.

Pros: There's an extremely no time-wasters vibe to the whole enterprise, and you're not likely to end up doing the same thing as you always do if you hit it off with someone on the app and meet up in real life. The app has a load anonymous dating apps

Cons: It's a bit Soho House. If you've limited patience for hearing about your date's plans to push into SaaS marketing or minting some NFTs of some pieces from their flatmate's art show in Deptford, you might find it a little much.

Verdict: If you're comfortable with only dating within a very particular echelon of society, and aren't put off by the slightly wiffly 'Who is the Victoria member?' section on the website ("Driven — Members pursue their dreams and passions with intensity. They are pushed to excel, to do more, to be better in every facet of their career and personal life" etc), then jump in.

alovex.co

The Intro

The USP: The Intro positions itself as the dating app for the busy urban professional. It skips the bit where you spend three weeks running through the 'have you got any brothers or sisters' stage and skips straight to video calls, and it even does the scheduling for the pair of you too. It's a bit like having a PA whose only remit is to sort out facetime with hotties.

Pros: It's a lot more time efficient, person-focused and tactile than tapping out messages for however long, and you can get a proper vibe off someone before you go spending a whole evening of your precious, precious time with them.

Cons: There's a teeny whiff of the, "Hi, yah, buddy" Square Mile broseph about it. Just because you're spending 15 hours a day squeezing emerging markets and shifting units before Tokyo opens, it doesn't mean you should be spared the swipe-match-chat-ignore drudgery of most apps. It's the great leveller.

Verdict: A little bit Train Anonymous dating apps in the conception, but anything that whittles down the chances of anyone using the monkey hiding its eyes emoji to take the edge off whatever wildly overfamiliar opening line they've used 50 times that day is a good thing.

alovex.co

Jungle Dating

The USP: Throwing yourself into solo dates all the time can end up feeling quite lonely, especially if they're not tending to go quite how you'd like them to. So, Jungle is a platform for organising double what to know about dating young indian men for yourself and a mate, anonymous dating apps.

Pros: Turning the dating game into a team pursuit makes it a lot more fun, anonymous dating apps, and at the very least you and anonymous dating apps mate you bring along will get some anecdotes out of the whole thing. Hopefully it's a dynamic which will make single women feel more comfortable, and there's also a lot more chance you're going to just make some new friends, which is always nice.

Cons: It only launched in July in London, so the pool is likely to be a little smaller than the other apps on this list, anonymous dating apps. Also kind of depends on you having mates who are good crack, but not such great crack that your opposite numbers only fancy them and not you. And if you thought sorting out a time to go for brunch with one other person, try it with four diaries on the go.

Verdict: A nice idea, especially in a gigantic megacity that sees thousands of anonymous dating apps two-drink Tuesday night dates every week. One to keep an eye on.

alovex.co

Thursday

The USP: Many conversations you have on dating apps go absolutely nowhere. There are a number of reasons for this. Some nascent chats are simply overwhelmed spicy dating app the sheer number of other romantic options that are available to the user at all times (why tolerate some less-than-stellar small talk when there are so many other people to talk to?) while longer conversations peter out over the course of weeks, as incessant back and forth robs both parties of their best material before they’ve even met up. Thursday attempts to solve this problem by only allowing users to match and talk on – you guessed it – Thursday. It builds anticipation, allows people to get straight to the point, and encourages the organising of actual dates.

Pros: While other apps can often function as a game at this point – something to swipe while you’re on the bus – Thursday is all about spontaneity and IRL encounters. It’s been a big thing in New York for a while, but has only recently launched in London.

Cons: Its strengths are also its drawbacks. Most people go on their dating apps on the weekend, specifically Sunday. A strict hour period, on a working day no less, adds a sense of pressure to proceedings.

Verdict: An interesting concept.

alovex.co

Feeld

The USP: Originally called anonymous dating apps, Feeld is sex-positive dating app for polyamorous couples who want to explore bringing a third into their bedroom, but it’s also a place anonymous dating apps people can explore other kinks as well. Anonymous dating apps being said, it doesn’t allow nudity and takes great lengths to ensure users feels safe on the platform. The audience is mostly made up of young straight couples, but the app encourages everyone to join in and gender options are relatively vast for a dating app. Usefully, online dating devaluing a mode which allows you to stay invisible to any Facebook friends who might be using the app too (you have to sign in through the social media site in the first place, which it scrapes your personal information from.)

Pros: The platform creators care about the safety and privacy of their user base, and have created a respectful community as a result. The group chat feature is handy, obviously. Safer than many other options on the internet.

Cons: Fake profiles abound. At £ a month it’s not exactly cheap, but you can get a better deal by going for a 90 day membership package. Some people might resent the need for Facebook verification.

Verdict: Of all the threesome apps on the market, this is the only one to break into the mainstream. It’s easy to see why.

alovex.co

MATCH

The USP: alovex.co is Old Internet – it launched in ! Before Google! Before you even had a computer! – so we understand any scepticism you might have. What are we going to suggest next, an AOL chat room? Habbo Hotel? The dating world is about gimmicks and ever-advancing AI. Why would you look backwards when you could just download the trendy new app?

But alovex.co has survived this long for a reason. It’s moved with the times from an algorithmic standpoint but remains extremely stripped-back and basic. The filters are extensive, and while the ‘like’ system is very similar to Tinder, the discover page allows a more curated window-shopping experience. The MatchPhone feature also provides you with a custom, totally anonymous phone line that allows you to chat without monitoring (you can block the caller if need be).

Pros: The phone app is simple, and the service has a wide database of users.

Cons:A one-month subscription is £, which is pretty crazy, anonymous dating apps. Three months works out at £/m and six boils down to £/m.

Verdict: VINTAGE FUN with a NEW AGE FEEL.

alovex.co

Facebook Dating

The USP: It’s safe to say that Facebook Dating has arrived about a decade too late. People are probably far less keen to involve Zuckerberg and co in their love lives following the Cambridge Analytica privacy fall-out ofand the site’s popularity amongst young people is dropping off. Still, it was always perfectly suited to hosting a mexican women dating app and now it's here, anonymous dating apps, completely free, simple to set up and integrated with the rest of site’s myriad social features.

Pros:It’s easy to find others with similar interests through the group function, and there’s a ‘Secret Crush’ feature that allows you to select Facebook friends who you’re interested in (they won’t see if they don’t choose you too.)

Cons: It’s Facebook.

Verdict:Free and easy to use

falovex.co

Hinge

The USP: "Designed to be deleted", as the company's motto goes.

Pros: It delves deep into your preferences to make sure matches are as suitable as possible, and it easily has the most impressive (and sleek) profile experience. You can also send 'likes' in reference to specific elements of their profile, and send messages to mutual matches.

Cons: The sheer amount of profile questions and features creates a pressure to impress – but then, is that any different to other dating apps?

Verdict: A great experience from start to finish.

alovex.co

Badoo

The USP: With more than million members, anonymous dating apps, Badoo is dating app profile men of the world's most popular dating apps and part of the same umbrella company as Bumble. Uniquely, it allows users to live stream to potential partners.

Pros: It's a non-swiping app and allows you a smaller pool of potential dates tailored to your taste.

Cons: It's doesn't have quite as many features as some competitors.

Verdict: If you've got very specific tastes Badoo might work for you but fancying someone because they look like a celebrity is so rarely how attraction works.

alovex.co

Guardian Soulmates

The USP: As one of the longest standing dating sites on the internet, The Guardian’s Soulmates service doesn’t need to prove its credentials. Perhaps that’s why it’s one of the only apps that requires a paid subscription to fully utilise (and at £35/month, it doesn’t come cheap.)

So what are you getting for that money? None of the bells and whistles that we’ve come to expect from modern dating apps, that’s for sure, anonymous dating apps. This is a back-to-basics service that relies on its like-minded and loyal user base (more than 80 per cent of members read the Guardian, and unlike many dating apps men only slightly outnumber women). It also offers regular singles events for users, a regularly updated Soulmates blog and a highly refined search function.

Pros: A strong reputation and compatible crowd

Coffee Meets Bagel

The USP: Their mantra and methodology is explained thus: "Each day at noon, guys will receive up to 21 quality matches – known as 'Bagels'. They are given the option to either LIKE or PASS. Then, Coffee Meets Bagel will curate the best potential matches for women among the men who expressed interest."

Pros: A more curated selection than just endlessly swiping through everyone.

Cons: The app requires you to give over control over to someone else to decide for you.

Down

The USP: Gives you the chance to tell your friends (rather than strangers) that you want to sleep with them.

Pros: There is a strange thrill in being able to 'swipe' that acquaintance you've always fancied, asking them for a date (up) or telling them you want to sleep with them (down). Until you realise how pathetic it is.

Cons: It pulls in every single woman who happens to one night stand dating apps your friend on Facebook, even if they haven't joined Down yet (your cowardly come on will be waiting for them if they ever do), making it rather pointless.

Verdict: The more you think about it, anonymous dating apps, the less sense Down makes. Isn't the whole point of internet dating that you can meet someone new? This hook-up app for friends (and friends of friends) is the equivalent of passing 'I Like You' notes in class, anonymous dating apps.

Happn

The USP: Hook up with the people anonymous dating apps walk past on the street.

Pros: Once you get over the slight stalker complex Happn instils on you by showing women who walked past your front door an anonymous dating apps ago, matching with users within a metre radius is actually quite handy. Chances are you live or work in the same area, so arranging a date becomes a lot simpler.

Cons: If the date goes horribly, there are no assurances you won't bump into her when you're buying milk a few days later. Also, spend too much time on it and you start getting paranoid you're seeing 'someone you liked on Happn' every time you sit in your local cafe.

Verdict: One of the most effective – and convenient – dating apps out there. Until it isn't.

HER

The USP: A progressive dating app designed for queer, bisexual and lesbian women that boasts a worldwide membership of 4 million, the free version of the app allows users to view mutually matched profiles and chat, while the premium option lets you view the photos and names of those who like you, and gives you unlimited swipes. The gender options are also very inclusive, anonymous dating apps, including female, non-binary, agender, gender fluid and intersex.

Pros: The app notifies users about LGBTQ+ events that are happening in the local area.

Cons: It only lets you sign up through your Facebook or Instagram account, which many are loath to do (but it only uses your first name).

Verdict: The most popular lesbian dating app in the world for a reason.

OKCupid

The USP: Endless personality quiz questions that give you a match percentage with would-be partners.

Pros: You can weed out people with traits or points of view you find simply unacceptable. Racists, anonymous dating apps, bigots and Mumford & Sons fans, then.

Cons: Too many basic functions are restricted to paid membership.

Verdict: Worth a shot, if only to kill time answering bizarre questions about yourself.

Plenty Of Fish

The USP: It's a huge ocean, with more members than any of the others (around 70 million).

Pros: Unlike most of the other apps, doing the basics on PoF – looking at profiles, sending and reading messages – is absolutely free.

Cons: A high number of sexually frustrated virgin-trolls means a lot of women find using it a harrowing experience, which understandably makes them cagey when you, a normal man, comes along. It's disheartening how many women have to resort to 'please no sex pests' appendices on their profile information.

Verdict: Easy to navigate, simple and free to use, anonymous dating apps, void of distracting gimmicks. And unlike Tinder, users tend to write a bit about themselves, meaning you have more to go on (and sell yourself with) than just your five least-worst selfies.

Grindr

The USP: It really works. If you happen to be gay, bisexual or curious.

Pros: Easy and efficient to use, you can find a hook-up within minutes.

Cons: It is notoriously 'glitchy', with messages disappearing and some functions not working properly.

Verdict: The app that started it all, Grindr has been helping men who like men improve their sex lives since Whether they are honest about it or not, every heterosexual internet dating anonymous dating apps out there aspires to be the 'Grindr for straight people'. Has is happened yet? Not even close.

Grindr

Lumen

The USP: Dating for overs.

Pros: Most (if not all) dating apps provide age boundaries, but Lumen is the first dedicated service for people over the age of 50, anonymous dating apps, with a verification system that keeps bots and scammers at bay.

Cons: Not a lot of search filter options. All opening messages must feature more than 50 characters, which means you can't rely on the tried-and-tested "Wazzzuuuppp?!?!"

Verdict: Asimple interface, strong security focus and growing community means that Lumen's future is bright for this mature dating app.

Inner Circle

The USP: Members are vetted, and they also run IRL singles events.

Pros: The screening process ensures out-and-out perverts are banished, which means everyone wins (except the perverts). The fun and well-organised events means membership feels a bit more like a club, and less like pin-balling around a vast galaxy of random singletons.

Cons: After sending someone a message, you're notified when they're checking your profile, which means you can actually see yourself being rejected in real time. But hey, that's life.

Verdict: Pulling together the best elements of other older dating apps, anonymous dating apps, Inner Circle is the best all-rounder out there with the highest quantity of people you'd actually like to meet. £5 a week for the advanced user options is just too much, though.

Bumble

The USP: Like Tinder, except once you match, only the ladies can make the first move and say hello.

Pros: It means women have an extra barrier against the 'hey hun wanna fuk??' brigade, which is good for all concerned. It also means if she's got in touch with you, you definitely weren't an 'accidental swipe', meaning you'll be leaving less of those unanswered hellos that slowly chip away at your soul.

Cons: None, really. Though one minor gripe is that Bumble's algorithm clearly pulls ten of the highest rated profiles to the top of your feed every time anonymous dating apps log in. Parading the hottest – and least obtainable – women in nerdy girl dating of your face every time you log in feels a little bit manipulative.

Verdict: A dating app where women need not fear to tread, and where the sting of rejection is largely removed for you. Win-win.

Luxy

The USP: Connect with verified millionaires.

Pros: The site boasts a large portfolio of high earners and offers 24/7 customer service for their members.

Cons: Sadly, you also need to be a millionaire. People tend to upload shots of their huge houses.

Verdict: Aside the obviously Dickensian classism all over the site, it also has an understandably odd mixture of trust anonymous dating apps brats and retired divorcees. Luxy does however offer high security to protect your privacy and weeds out people looking for a sugar daddy or anonymous dating apps Matches

The USP: It's a dating service for countryside lovers, rather than people who don't bathe.

Pros: You don't actually have to live in the countryside. You just need to be into the rural scene. Rambling, jodhpurs, chortling, wax gilets, shovelling poo. All that good stuff.

Cons: Full membership (which allows you to send messages) comes in at £94/year.

Verdict: No other app can guarantee you a weekly polo tutorial, anonymous dating apps. For that, it's worth the yearly fee.

Tastebuds

The USP: Fall in love with someone who shares your music taste.

Pros: A nice way to connect with people on something you're passionate about, anonymous dating apps, or it can be used to find friends to visit gigs with.

Cons: Just because you both like Kings of Leon doesn't really mean you're made for each other.

Verdict: A nice concept and considering music is a personal passion that connect a lot of people, Tastebuds actually has more of a USP than most niche interest apps, anonymous dating apps. However the same warnings apply – you free video dating be looking for your dream girl who loves Ok Computer, but you're going to end up with a anonymous dating apps of middle-aged Radiohead loving blokes like yourself.
