What dating sites/apps have you used in the past?
 

Any success stories?

grindr and squirt

Wtf is squirt :joker:

yes i used one called zoosk and scored a hit with the first girl i properly contacted

it was a pic of the TL holding a tarantula as it goes and it was in focus and correctly posed

I was however shocked by the terrible use of photographs by the women

not squirt :skull:

but none

it’s like a hookup site it’s more sleazy than grindr though :worry:

Oh hun.

Grindr and Hornet... define 'success stories' :laugh:

did you get a shag out of it or not

isn’t hornet for classy business gays or s/t

Just POF, and lasted about three days on that

Grindr - yes, Hornet - a classy business luncheon

ooh how classy?

Tinder

POF is ****ing gross! I cant believe I forgot about it! The people on there are a whole other species.

I was honestly thinking along the lines of 'any long term relationships' but that isnt half as fun!

I have used Tinder but have not actually met anyone from it so don't know if it counts. I have met someone from Happn but it didn't go very far

Blued, Christiansingles, POF, eHarmony, Recon, muddymatches and snapchat, if that counts

There was no such thing as an app the last time I was single so none [emoji14]

Grindr, Hornet, Scruff, Tinder, somewhat active on all at the moment but having the most success on Chappy TBH

None. :hee:

I've never needed to use anything like that, they werent really around when I was dating. Met MrJaxie at the fair went with a group of friends and he came along with one. I don't do rides and things, they got me on the waltzer and after I threw up. He stayed with me, stroked my back and took me home after. And he looked like a young Tom Cruise. A winner all the way.

:lovedup:

I tried for like a month about 2 years ago but then remembered I hate people so deleted my account

Just Tinder. It seems to have broke though...


:think:

Just Tinder.

This.

We had to go out and actually socialise, I find all the dating apps and stuff these days quite sad if I'm honest.

It's definitely sad that it's become so popular. Surely they ruin the magic of meeting someone from just being in the right place at the right time, rather than scrolling through the profiles of complete strangers to find someone you may have a chance of being compatible with based solely on how they've chosen to present themselves. It just doesn't sound fun, or magical or romantic.

Couldn't agree more

I agree with this for younger people, I think it must get harder to meet people though when you get older

Im not sad

Met my boyfriend on tinder, didn't realise how addicted I was to swiping until I deleted my account!

none, i don't even know what a dating site is :laugh:

Signed up to Badoo and Lovoo some years ago, met someone off Lovoo and he was really nice. Signed up to POF before I moved to London to meet some people in the area (not really intended for relationship purposes), and I met a few people off there who were also awesome people. I'd say POF is easily the best from my experience.

Not sure what you're talking about, there is nothing more romantic than getting a notification from Tinder about a new match, unlocking your phone at world record speed, loading up your matches, and discovering that it's just some grenade you accidentally swiped right on when you were pissed a few nights ago. An exhilarating experience you can't get at the local coffee shop

I've used OKCupid, Oasis, Badoo, Freedating, Plenty of Fish and another one - the name escapes me.

I've dated a few women on there. When I say dated, I mean just one date per woman. They're okay chatting online but when it comes to the meet - or date - they're different people.

I was chatting to a woman at the weekend. She was sending really long messages on char, and then I said I had to answer the door, and when I came back, she had blocked me. :D

Not judgemental at all.

It isn't like the sad pervs in the chat rooms back in the 90s.

People use the apps to organise social meet ups.

And not always sexual meet ups. :nono:

Not judgemental just my opinion on dating apps and sites, and thats specifically what my opinion was on using the apps for sex and or dating, the title of the thread outlines dating not social meetups

Dating is a social meet up though. I used them a fair bit when I first moved to London and I didn't know many people to go out with but I still wanted to go out on dates, I dont see how that's sad :shrug:
Lots of people just use the apps for titillation and get off on chatting and swapping pics etc and that's where it can be really anti-social and even unhealthy though, but other that it can aid a social life rather than be detrimental to it.

They're also really helpful for people who don't get out very much, like a friend of mine is disabled and doesn't leave the house very often (and hates bars and clubs etc because of access) but he occasionally meets people after chatting and getting to know them online, so they have a huge benefit to people like him.
