Hey guys, do any of you have any experience with what is currently available on the market?
Do you use them to supplement your fab account and if so, would you recommend them or not?

It seems all the apps have their pros and cons. On the supposedly 'vanilla' ones I get asked for hookups. Well I don't get asked, I can spot them a mile off, ask them and then they admit it
Or you get guys who think because you have a coffee 'date' 2 weeks away they can tell you off for being on the app  |

"They're all shit.
To you they may be but some of us enjoy them. "
I joined Bumble yesterday. Have had a few conversations already but Christ almighty some of them have the personality of cardboard.  |

I have a few conversations that are going very slowly. I usually can pick up pretty early if it’s going to go anywhere. The odd one has thrown me. I like Bumble x |

Use several dating apps and find them all the same. Everyone treats you like you want to get in their knickers and never reply to messages. I've almost given up trying to find a serious relationship. |

POF is just a complete disaster now. I was on it about 4 years ago and rejoined it recently. Just seems to be full of spammers |

What reason do you like Bumble for?? You're not far from me so it would be interesting to hear who uses it round here and how you find them? |

I've recently given up on online dating. However, I liked okcupid when I was on there, it attracts oddballs. Or I attract oddballs. Either way, I liked it. |

I think the guys tend to be of a more professional nature. Better pics and quality of men on there. Guys know that women take the lead so are a bit more serious about meeting than they are on tinder. Not dating all are looking for a relationship. Many say on their profile but some want fun and many want more with the right person, just like most apps. |

You don’t pay for anything unless you want the extra things that they offer. The basic account is free. |

You have to wait to get some mutual matches. Once they 'like' you too, you can message them, so you need to get swiping first. |

Also with Bumble, if you swipe left accidentally and want to view that person back again, you can use 3 backtrack a day. You just shake your phone (I have an iPhone, not sure if that works on others) and then swipe back. It’s free unlike tinder where you have to pay for that x |

I like the reverse shake but find Tinder the best dating app. Had to go through 1000 left swipes to find 1 decent: but that’s all that’s needed.
POF - horrible! Full of chavs with fish or dogs! |

Bumble is good, I like the whole aspect of women being in charge and making the first move. Girls usually ask the important questions pretty quickly so there’s no messing around on there, be honest and it can work. POF is ok, but seems a lot of fake profiles on there. Still good for casual sex though. |

That brings it back to the old debate we’ve seen before: do men have better odds on dating sites for sex then on here? Do women far better in here? |

Great to see this discussion as I just moved and am looking to create a network of friends and find new relationships. Bumble sounds good. Will have to check on it. A challenge I face is that I am now living on a small island and there are not many people in the app databases |

Pof and tinder are my least favourite. Bumble, Feeld and Happn are the ones I use the most. |

I tried Feeld and found it really annoying as I kept getting messages from people miles away.
Match.com is somewhat of a scam, before you pay up.. you have a million views and winks. Once you subscribe.. nadda. POF is full of chavs and whatnots. Tinder is great for a hook up.
I agree with whoever posted that on Fab, women have their pick, on dating sites.. men do.
That being said, I'd rather someone was just honest about what they wanted. The dream would be to meet someone on here who is as open minded about sex but doesn't just want a hook up. |

Don't give up
Sure it's hard to find right people to date
Yes, some people want quick fixes
Not everyone though
Hang on in there
Kind regards |

Bumble probably not so much as women have to initiate contact and most of them are vehemently anti-casual sex! Now that I’m whinging, it is a dating site app after all. POF seems to be a bit more laid back, almost Tinder like. It’s a numbers game, there’s just more women on dating apps compared to on here so it could potentially be easier to find casual sex that way - as long as you’re honest about it. The girls I’ve spoke to are annoyed that blokes just seem to want one thing on dating apps, but dress it up in niceties making them feel used after being lied to. |

I make it quite clear from the beginning that I’m not after a hook up. I do the same on here as had my time playing around. |

I can’t comment on your past interactions, hopefully you will find that honest partner who seems to allude you in the near future. |

I found my ex husband on a dating site and the serious relationship before that. It can happen. |
