Sites Just Like Tinder

The magnetic pull of dating app addiction seems to have sucked unsuspecting Millennials in faster than you can say 'let's hook up.' When you live in a huge metropolitan area like LA, Chicago, or NYC, it might seem that, despite being surrounded by people, it's impossible to actually meet someone that you could see yourself dating. Enter: the vast array of online dating options, including Tinder, which might be one of the best dating apps and is definitely the most popular. If I'm feeling particularly salty about the IRL pool of suitors, I'm comforted by the fact that I could swipe through Tinder until my fingers bleed and still not run out of potential friends/lovers/boyfs. (If you live in a less populated city, this may not hold true, but it still beats hanging out at the same dive bar hoping a sexy stranger will sweep you off your feet, right?)

Having reviewed so many fake dating sites now, MySinder.com set a lot of alarm bells ringing almost immediately. Before we get into the details though, let’s take a look at a high-level comparison against a legitimate website. For hookup-focused sites like Sinder claims to be, we always compare against AFF. Being one of the biggest names in. This might be helpful if you're are to and your immediate just or Uber drivers, but I don't see the attraction when competitors like Tinder already show the distance are you and other users. The app seems designed for people who don't want to use online dating sites but who strings don't want to approach people in real life. Just like its name, Tinder for Seniors is designed as easy as tinder but especially for seniors. No matter you would like to use our PC version or App, it would be quite easy to get started. Within minutes, you can get your profile set up and start browse other members' profiles for free! There is no more bother from contacts who are younger.

We've all been that person who's standing in the corner of the bar on a Friday night fiendishly swiping left and right — whether it's because we're bored, drunk, or lonely is irrelevant. Even if you're surrounded by people, thanks to dating apps, there's now the undeniable feeling that you could be missing out on someone better who's only a few subway stops away. While that may create a culture that's never satisfied, it nevertheless has its benefits: Namely, you're never out of options.

Whether you're mind-numbingly bored, want to expand your current dating pool, or simply want to add yet another dating app to your repertoire, there are seemingly endless apps to choose from. Check out my top 5 dating app picks and feel free to text Tinder to say you're just not feeling it anymore. If you get overwhelmed and have to go crawling back to Tinder, don't worry — it will always be there for you.

1. Bumble

This app made by women, for women aims to give ladies control over their virtual dating lives. It's basically feminist Tinder: Men are not allowed to message first, leaving it up to the girls to start off the conversation however they see fit. If the lady doesn't start a convo with a match within 24 hours, the chat disappears forever, providing an incentive to actually make connections with people rather than just playing the 'who'll make the first move' waiting game. While it's true (and great) that many women may already feel empowered enough to send the first message, Bumble is a fun Tinder alternative for girls who are on the shy side. Plus it's never a bad thing to remind women that they're in control of their own bodies, despite what many gross trolls would have them believe.

2. Happn

This app could basically be renamed 'Stalkr,' but that doesn't stop it from being a personal favorite of mine. By turning on your location services, the app shows you people you've 'crossed paths with,' within one city-block. Then, like Tinder, you can 'like' someone which opens up the option to chat. So next time you're on the subway and are too scared to actually approach a Ryan Gosling lookalike, download Happn and pray to the Sex Gods that he has the app, too. Bonus: Spotify teamed up with Happn to let you send songs to potential dates, so you can send a girl or guy a not-so-subtle hint by messaging them 'Pony' by Ginuwine in lieu of a cheesy pickup line.

3. Coffee Meets Bagel

CMB functions a little differently than Tinder: You get only one match — called a 'bagel' — a day, every day at noon (it sends you a push notification to let you know when it's ready). Then you can either 'accept' or 'pass' on this person; if you both accept, then a chat line opens up and stays active for a week. The lack of endless matches is both a positive and a negative — it's not as overwhelming as Tinder, but there's also not the possibility for limitless hours of swiping entertainment. However, you can earn or purchase 'coffee beans' that you can use to unlock more matches if you so desire. One more awesome thing: If you 'pass' on a person, it will ask you why — presumably to make your future matches better suited to you — and then offers you another 'free' bagel for the day (sometimes more than one if you continue to hit 'pass').

4. Hinge

Hinge uses your real-life network (and by 'real life' I mean Facebook) to find potential matches that aren't necessarily sketchy strangers. It hooks you up with friends of friends, so the people you're chatting with can be vouched for by people you trust. Like Tinder, your profile is built around your Facebook photos and interests, and then you can chat with someone once you've both 'liked' each other, but the similarities end there. Hinge provides only a 'select list' of matches rather than an endless amount, so the number of potential baes is more of a gentle stream than a roaring waterfall. Once you've run out of second- and third-degree connections, the app makes more 'tangential' connections, still trying to find you people based on your social networks. Even more good news: The app now calls out users who are already in relationships, putting their Facebook relationship status on the app so no one is deceived.

5. OkCupid

Putting OkC on this list was inevitable, right? I don't think I need to explain it since it seems to be just as popular with Millennials as Tinder, but it is worth including since it has such a large network of people to choose from. If you're tired of simply swiping and want to procrastinate for hours by penning the world's wittiest dating profile and answering hundreds of match questions, OkCupid is perfect for you. Plus, reading typo-ridden messages and profiles is half the fun of OkCupid, so you can do that to kill time on the subway, even if the more serious 'soulmate search' isn't your cup of tea.Though all that can be rather time-consuming and is surely not for the everyman who just wants to hookup with someone new every weekend, OkC has other options as well. It has a Tinder-like feature called 'Quickmatch' where you can swipe through people nearby — if you both 'liked' each other, it lets you know (although you can chat with them either way, unlike on Tinder). I can't even tell you how much of my life has been spent staring blankly at the OkCupid app — trust me, I wouldn't steer you wrong.

10 Dating Apps like Tinder: Tinder Alternatives

They are available on Google Play Store and iTunes and absolutely free to use with some conditions applied.

1. The Grade

Download App:Android, iOS

Starting the list of apps like Tinder from “The Grade” is quite a cool choice that I have made. This app is more like a female friendly and female oriented app. This feature fills in for Tinder and works well than other conventional dating platform like Tinder.

The Grade is very strict in terms of its usage. It automatically eliminates those low quality users who are offensive and keep on irritating females on this app.

This makes The Grade a much better alternative to Tinder in terms of security of browsing. The site works on the grading system. Being a male you are judged on the basis of the quality of messages, time of response, interesting content of profile, genuine gestures and then grades are allotted.

You must be quite good to earn grades like A++, A+ or something else. This helps the women to find a better choice instantly. Other apps like Tinder are way better than the former one. You must improve your grade continuously so that more and more females can get interested in you.

Well, I must tell you Coffee Meets Bagel or CMB that it is popularly called is as good as The Grade. And hence they both are equally amazing to be on number 1 position in this list of apps like Tinder. As a basic information, you should know that your Facebook account gets linked to this app just like Tinder.

This gives an extra authentication to your CMB profile. As soon as you get registered, potential matches are displayed as bagels and you need to like a profile to show your interest.

However, you can initiated the conversation only when the other one likes your profile too. In this way, it adds a level of security to your profile especially when you are a girl. There is one more catch that if a user does not like your profile in 24 hours then the bagel gets skipped.

However, you can extend the time by 24 hours more if your Bagel is busy right now. The chatting feature gets disappeared in a week so that things can speed up faster. It is kind of interesting to use this app.

Bumble is only the lukewarm to Tinder but follows a better policy than it. Bumble is one of the most similar kind of apps like Tinder which works just the way Tinder do. However, there are some reforms which are making it a better options than Tinder.

Just like Tinder, you need to create a profile which are displayed to the potential matches. People need to swipe right if they like a profile which is a feature completely similar to Tinder.

When you swipe right on someone’s profile then they are added to your “hive”. Now, here comes the correction for the problems of annoyance from men and silence from women. The girl must initiate a conversation with the men in first 24 hours otherwise he will be disappeared from her hive.

However, if a man is seriously interested in a girl then the loophole provides him 24 hours more to keep him connected to her. Bumble is one of those apps like Tinder which are doing a decent approach towards online dating trend. The site is free to access and you can use it just after signing up on it.

6. Bristlr

Download App:Android, iOS

Bristlr actually initially kicked off only as a joke. The developer John Kershaw had no idea that this dating app will totally change his life. The app actually took off pretty well and now counted as one of the best apps like Tinder for dating and finding right matches for you.

Well, this may sound pretty absurd to you but the app is specifically for the guys who have beards. So, I am really sorry but the guys not having beards cannot join this app.

The process is just like Tinder, when you like a person then you flip his/her images to show your interest. You can now further connect with that person through messages. The app is for the girls who like bearded guys but still have more than 80,000 registered users on it.

You can download the app for both Android and iOS devices. The app points a specific audience only and therefore the possible matches are low as compared to other dating apps. However, it is still good for the girls looking for bearded guys only.

7. Score

Download App:Android

Score in another great option in the list of apps like Tinder. You would have been surely surprised to know about these really great dating sites other than Tinder. There are even more options but I have selected only the best ones for you.

Well, talking about the app, Score is an application which works way beyond than what you just see on someone’s profile. Sometimes it is necessary to find out about the truth behind the information of a profile.

Score is an app which allows you to join your Facebook profile along with your Score profile. This helps in knowing a person in a better way. This is like a personality based test for you. The more you score with someone, the more your profile gets visible to them.

In this way, such apps like Tinder ensures you a better knowledge about the person you are taking to. This also keeps your information safe and makes it visible once you are known to someone completely. In this way, Score works way better than Tinder and proves to be a nice option for dating someone.

8. Happn

Download App:Android, iOS

Happn is one of those apps like Tinder which has recently got so much of recognition because of its impeccable dating features and facilities. The app is available for both Android and iOS users which means it connects with more people and hosts a large audience on its app.

Happn works more realistically than other apps and connects you with women you have crossed ways before. It keeps track of where you are and that too in real time. In this way, when someone passes from that area then their profile pops up on your phone.

This is by far the best way I have seen a dating app works. In this way, you have more chances of interacting with someone and as it works in local surrounding then you are more likely to meet that person again.

If you like the women crossing by then you send her “charm’ and in this way she gets to know that you are interested in her. This saves your time in answering lots of questions or going through different tests.

PoF is very similar to other apps like Tinder and surely one of the most famous one in this category. It witnesses millions of users on daily basis and people like this app a lot.

The app does not require authentication with your Facebook profile the way other apps like Tinder asks for. It rather goes for a questions answer round and draws some basic characteristics of yours through this test.

Finally, I am listing an app which call itself “anti-Tinder” but trust me you are going to find it just the way other apps like Tinder are. Hinge is more kind of a reserved and protective platform as compared to other applications which are more open to this dating concept.

There are basically three levels or layers in this app. It lets you connect with your friends, friends of friends and to the next layer of their friends.

This process saves you from coming across any weirdos and absurd people who keep on annoying on such platforms. You need to add your Facebook account along with it for better authentication and finding better and reliable matches for you.

The aim of Hinge is to let you meet with people who are more likely to stay in your life for a longer time. Through the mutual connections, you would be able to trust someone rapidly and hence the connection takes lesser time.
