I’m really not sure what the weirdest thing about this thread is: that the last post of its original heyday (fall 2017) was wejo recommending Bumble, or that it got bumped by an obviously automated marketing bot.
The Ancestry.com joke was worth waiting four and a half years for, though.
From my experience on the apps the best quality matches have been bumble. Second to that coffee meets bagel. From both apps I have friends/family who are married and or engaged.
Now to the real advice. The best quality match will always be in person. You have a better feel for that individual and can really determine if that person is right for you. The apps is really a throw of the dice - you have no idea who that person is and it almost always backfires. If youre looking to hook up then fire up tinder and have at it.
Chicago, NYC, Boston, DC, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles or basically any major city dating apps are going to bode well. The reason is that high functioning females flock to these cities for job opportunities at abundant rates or at least more so than their peers. I tend to think along the lines that females do better in school than their male counterparts and thus have more career trajectory.
Why aren't they flocking to Denver?
It's something like a 3 or 4 to 1 ratio of men to women in the 18-49 age demographics here!
I talked to a nightclub owner the other night and he said he's going to cancel his ladies' night special because three times as many dudes show up! ?. Another nightclub owner said the other day that the new nickname for Denver is....."Menver." Get it everyone..."MENver!" ?
Really? Boulder’s got to be worse. Spectrum of 19-22 year old undergraduate women living in a 200 sq ft unit and prob infected with Covid 5x …OR 46&up year old women already attached in $1.5M home

Or dried up, narcissistic nutbag age grouper who can’t quite let go 7 years out of college and plans her life and career around training and racing, whose entire social life is the training group and you can spot the ED from the other end of the Pearl Street Mall.

That said, to answer your question look to Bumble over POF or Tinder. But -- this is a huge BUT -- realize that while these high functioning females are in abundance it does not mean they are mentally stable or good potential relationship partners. I think a good percentage are simply lonely and their mild narcissisms enjoy the validation and mysterious allure. But here's my take -- these girls want committment but are prone to flake after just a few weeks IF it even gets that far. Swiping for a match and then MEETING up with that person os a huge barrier. Hooking up requires serious game after that. Holding a relationship for longer than three weeks is going to be far and few between.
These females are misfits already who, because of their facebooks and instagrams, are in a rush to play The Bachelor from their pocket phones because they envy some sort of ideal image. A lot of girls are going mold to your needs only to flake within 10 days and never respond to you (or put you on block). Be prepared for that. Be prepared for great looking girls who dont seem like tramps but slooted in college and need a perscription to valtrex (true story). Be prepared for the unbelievably hot hookup to decide after 10 days she's going to put you on block without explanation (another true story). Be prepared for the dorkishly ideal girl who is 8.5/10, maybe some extra beer/coffee/work calories but seemingly warm and loving (and cool) who has commitment issues through the roof (yet another true story).
I carried one of these relationships for 7 weeks and felt mind raped after the fact. The truth is the generations ahead of us (parents, work superiors, etc) are always going to ask, "Howd you two meet?" And there is still the dirty Tinder effect coming from announcing Bumble or POF. It wreaks desperation. So be prepared for that.
Each of these women will bring baggage of some sort. Youll have a brief honeymoon phase that cultivates all sorts of feelings. If she doesnt fear intimacy and is mentally stable (I contend many dont meet this criteria), you might get a few dates. But be prepared because she may flake on you on a whim and completely pull thr rug from out under you. As a male, youre at a disadvantage. Women can have whatever they want, whenever they want, sleep with you, promise you the world and then also have the ability to cry wolf and say words like stalker or creepy and society accepts it as such even though it may not be the case.
If youre willing to go through the toils and breakdown the online barrier there may be something worth it. But at the end of the day our society still has a stigma for people who meet online or through a dating app which may lead to virtuous themed issues.
Happiness is the ultimate goal and an end (to life). But the allure of meeting somoene and the validation that comes with it can mask the feeling of happiness so be prepared all the way through for some messed up situation to arise.
Hope that makes sense and happy swiping.
I have to say this is a really interesting post. Not sure if this fellow is around, but thank you.
was on tinder for a little, mainly just for fun - never went on any dates from the app, but met a couple friends (no, not hook ups). ended up downloading hinge and went on 2 dates and the second date has now been my gf for 3.5 years. a few other people we know also met on hinge.
Hinge is on the rise while tinder, bumble, match, okc, eharmony and many others are falling. Bumble is one of the worst apps for men but great for women. Whatever you are going to use, January is the time to do it. There is a sharp drop off after valentines day.

Wow let me condense this to 2 sentences......1-going for a high function woman(as he calls them) means she is only gonna settle for someone making a lot more than her and over 6-2. ....2.All the women he says “flaked” on him because he does not meet those requirements.
