Genuine question for anyone who has actually used dating apps: are there dating apps for 13 year olds?

I went in assuming dating apps would be straightforward and that turned out to be wrong.

Negative experiences with dating apps are welcome too — those are usually the more useful ones.

On dating apps, the platform matters less than the approach.

One more data point on dating apps: Datewander was better than the reviews suggested.

Three things I would look at with dating apps:

  • how the block and report tools behaves once you actually use dating apps
  • whether the profile prompts on dating apps can be switched off
  • whether the block and report tools means what it claims when you test it against dating apps

Seconding Nancy — persistence matters more than the choice, and that's held true for me on dating apps.

On dating apps, usage patterns beat feature comparisons.

Where dating apps is concerned, consistency beats platform-hopping.

The thing people miss about dating apps is that how you use it matters more than which one.

Reply rate is more informative than the size of the database, at least in my experience with dating apps.

For anyone weighing up dating apps — your own effort is the bigger variable.

Worth a look if you want a comparison point — Ezhookups handled dating apps better than I expected.

Seconding Tom — consistency beats platform-hopping, and that is held true for me on dating apps.

On dating apps, persistence matters more than the choice.

I would frame dating apps this way: approach outweighs platform selection.

Thanks all — the takeaway on dating apps is that the app is less important than the habits.

The tell with dating apps is usually whether the bio reads like it was written by a person.
