Yup, had this recently. We had started chatting on Pof and then I joined back up on here and he found me. When I said I didn’t want to meet he got all shitty. |

"Never heard of bumble  "
"What makes Bumble different from other dating apps like Tinder and OKCupid, though, is its focus on giving women all the power. Men using Bumble can swipe through the app and to find matches, but they can't initiate conversations."
I have male and female friends using it, both haven't had much luck  |

I joined a dating app recently as I'm definitely looking to connect with women who may end up being life partners. I'll be approaching it entirely differently, however, starting with purely platonic friendship, then seeing if romance and sex follow. Here people quickly dismiss you if you don't come in from the sex angle. Don't get me wrong, sex is important, it was a definite factor in the breakup of my previous relationship. But unlike most on here it soooo doesn't define me. I am a constellation of intriguing ingredients. In finding a life partner it's much more sensible to seek someone who gels with my goals, dreams, soul, humour, spirituality, etc. Sex will be an essential part of that compatibility. But it's not what I would lead with.
Having said that, although I'd be surprised to meet my soul mate on here, and if I did I would have gone about meeting her completely back to front for my liking, I'm not closed to the idea. I don't need to distance the women I meet on here from me. Not unless they want me to distance them  |

"I’ve been successful on most sites ..
Pof and Tinder definitely the easiest...
Bumble is ok
Here is ok but obviously you can’t see what someone looks like so most messages are a waste of time .."
Thats why you send 4 face pics with your initial message |

I’m like this also. It’s such a catch 22 situation as I don’t want a relationship with a ‘vanilla’ guy, I want to meet someone that’s on the same wavelength as me sexually. I’m very sexually adventurous but I just don’t enjoy casual sex with random people unless it’s with a partner in tow. |

I'm on Bumble, OKcupid & Pof, looking for a long-term relationship.
On tinder for short-term relationship
On here for meeting up.
Wouldn't refuse a one night stand or a relationship, because it was the 'wrong' site, if it was offered. But it does affect my approach. I was once approached by a forumite on Pof (who I'd tried to meet through fab previously) and we had several vanilla dates, before realising chemistry wasn't there. |

I was on bumble, till my phone broke last week. Had a date lined up and I can't message her, so she's probably unmatched now. I think she could have been the one too. |

"I don’t get matches but do on here... think it’s a face thing! I’m off to buy myself a ‘walton-sized’ basket of cats instead "
Would you paint my kitchen, I'll keep you supplied in tea and biscuits?  |

The reason I asked is , we on fab are open most enjoy the lifestyle so to start a new relationship with someone on the same wavelength where do you go ? Most women on fab are not looking for a relationship but most on bumble are looking for a relationship. |

Can anyone recommend good sites where you don’t have to pay to message?
I don’t want to pay if it’s a waste of time.
Currently on a few app sites but you can only message if its a match or if you pay to upgrade.

I lasted 2 days on pof, and thought, I really can't be arsed.
I'd love to find a partner in crime, and on the same level sexually but it really not looking likely.
At the moment it's looking like I'm better off on my own unfortunately. X |

"Are the men any more sane on the dating sites ? ??"
Honestly it’s the same people on every dating site... unless you move or change your age. You will constantly get the matched with the same people.....
A funny tidbit about dating sites... you can have the same pictures and profile text... but someone will ignore you on Fab but chat to you on Pof. |

I was on a couple dating apps, found the men gave it all the chat but on meeting was obvious all they wanted was a one off shag.
On here, I've developed real friendships, met some amazing people, found a group of crazies I can truly call my best friends, and yes I've had some bloody amazing sex too, with regular partners looking for more than just a fuck n go.
It is indeed an odd world we live on. |

I've not tried bumble. Use tinder and just paid to join match but even that feels a waste of time. Don't think anyone is serious when it comes to dating these days. Really makes me wonder if I'm that bad to be honest. |

I’m experiencing the mystery of “matching but no replies..” over 6 months now, I match with men, say (all different versions of hello how are you) and no reply back...
Can someone explain it? Yes yes I know, not everyone has to reply, it could have have even been a mistaken right swipe..but ongoing,really?
Pictures will never do my amazing personality justice!!! Lol
Big sigh. |

On a lot of apps unless they are paid up members they can’t message back, even if you message first 
And a gentleman told me yesterday that these sites have a lot of female “bots” so a lot of the time they don’t get genuine mail, which makes it harder for is when we do send genuine mail. |

We both use dating apps and put on we are looking for sex friends , and surprisingly we do better on them for finding people we fancy than on here as you get to see the real person first rather than a cock pic or blank profile or a pair of high heels or lips . |

Interesting read this. I can say those apps do work, I met my last girlfriend of 2 1/2 years on one. She was amazing, we just both agreed that or future plans weren’t heading in the same direction, so ended amicably. Which was a lot better than my previous long term relationship.
So they do offer a genuine service, not everyone wants the wham bam thank you. I’m on here but not on any other sites or apps. I’m on here, as my profile suggests, I would and will go back to using dating apps, but more than happy with my life at the moment. |

I've had exactly the same thing. They are just on dating sites in the hope of a quick shag. |

"I thought it was rubbish. In fact i think they’re all bloody rubbish. Next time i might join a pay site and look there.
Why do you find them rubbish? "
Because they are full of attached people or people from here trying to cover all bases to get a shag. |

I've downloaded Bumble but can't use it because it doesn't allow Facebook log in anymore, only phone numbers I think.
I use Tinder but don't like it because you have to match before you can send a message. Kinda bugs me when I read the profile and see we have the same things in common, but even if I swipe right I very rarely get a match. |

I use POF as a way to build my confidence up. I'm not ready to get into a relationship again, it wouldn't be fair on the other person because I'm still in love with my ex. So for me it's about going on dates, trying to rebuild myself up again. I don't wanna hurt anyone in the process, but POF is really about me doing what I have to do to fix my broken heart.
I've only really spoken to two people but I was honest with them about what I wanted. One of them said that was fine, the other blanked me after that. I'd never intentionally lead someone on.
Tinder is for a quick hookup and Fab is to meet new friends for something more casual, a FWB type of situation. |

When I last properly delved in online dating folk used to message folk they were interested in, there was none of the swipe right/left and wink stuff that you get on apps. It was like here, you saw a profile and said hello and took it from there.
And most of the men (not all) seem to use the apps as a hook up accessory. I can get that here. And i’m either a right howler or they don’t want to upgrade the account they have to allow them to message back, instead their profile fluff alludes to off-site ways of contacting them.
I appreciate i’m Old fashioned in my dating ways. And of course I dare say others like how instant it is, but for me it was disappointing.

They replied back saying theyve been on it 3yrs and rarely find women on it they told me they are getting women or mainly young women in 20s every other week !!!! Wow i said the fella must be in heaven lol ...yes he was indeed she replied . They picked up the girls that never heard of fabs so they got to them before there mind was corrupted haha .

Yes im thinking its the way forward . I do feel fabs is finished nowadays as too many know about it and flooded with single guys ..many who only want a quick fuck rather than respect its more to swinging than that |

Has anyone tried 'Feeld'? It's like a Tinder for swinging, polyamory etc and it looks like it has potential but is still not very busy. Saying that it appears to be mostly genuine people on there, although I have yet to match with anyone! |

I had mostly an opposite experience - most are looking for a friendship and possibly a relationship as a minimum, and the same desperados whose message is are "sex" or "fun" on here do the same there but are easily blocked. |
