They say love is found in unusual places. Among a glut of online dating apps, there are few with proven record.
Check out these five if you are desperate for love, courtesy of USA real money slots.
1. Match
As one of the OG dating services (it’s moved from website-only to a website and app), Match is one of the most popular online dating apps of all time. And thanks to its storied past, it has a specific appeal to those between 45 and 65 looking for a serious relationship; additional research by SurveyMonkey found that 58 percent of adults 45 to 54 years old use Match, more than double the percent who use Tinder. You can download it for free, although that will restrict you to browsing; if you want to actually message potential partners, subscriptions start at $19.99 a month.
2. OurTime
Dating apps aren’t just for millennials; 20 percent of internet users between the ages of 55 and 64 have used a dating app or service, according to a poll from technology and research company Morning Consult. OurTime turns the idea of hookup culture on its head; instead, it encourages users to search for pen pals, friends, dates, long-term relationships, and marriage partners. The free-to-download app lets you send emails, flirt, and match with potential partners, and a premium subscription ($29.96 per month) allows for additional features like the ability to see who has liked your profile, courtesy of www.casinositesreview.io.
3. Bumble
Bumble set itself apart from all the other dating services crowding the app store by requiring women to make the first move once a match is made. In the free version, you only get 24 hours to send a message. But if that feels too pressure-filled, you can invest in a Boost membership, which starts at $6.99 for a week. Women love the app because it cuts down on the number of unsolicited messages; men love it, too. In fact, 58 percent of the respondents who preferred Bumble in PCMag’s survey were guys, likely because it takes some of the pressure off initiating. Plus, once you find somebody you’re interested in, you have the option of going on a video date in-app.
4. Tinder
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock since 2012, you’re probably familiar with Tinder. Tinder is a dating app that gives you a ton of options local to you. If you like someone, you can swipe right to indicate your interest. Once a match is made, you can start messaging back and forth. t’s been downloaded over 430 million times since it was first launched, and more people equals more potential dates. The app is completely free to use, but there are also three additional subscription tiers to choose from: Tinder Plus at $4.99 for a one month subscription, Tinder Gold at $14.99, and Tinder Platinum at $19.99.
5. Hinge
Hinge is the dating app that was “designed to be deleted.” In the Hinge app, daters are given prompts to answer, so you can get a good idea of what their personality is like. These prompts are also great conversation starters once a match is made, since you have more information to go off of than you do on an app like Tinder. Like Tinder, the free version of the app lets you connect with people just fine, but Hinge also offers a premium version for $29.99 for one month, $19.99 per month when you sign up for three, or $14.99 a month for six — their best deal. Hinge Preferred comes with extra perks the free version doesn’t have, like unlimited likes and profile priority.
