DH and I met on POF but knew of each other before. Together 12 years and married 8
I don’t think Tinder was a thing back then. It sounds brutal though.

Pof 13 years ago
I was on several different ones.
Tinder was much more of an hook up site then.

Tinder. They’re not all bad on there.

Tinder

Tinder. I found it soul destroying and gave up so many times but it really does only take one!

I hated Bumble. I think Hinge was promising but still pretty new when I met him so probably better now.

Okcupid
We celebrate 10 years together in a week!

EHarmony here! I got rid of something like 648 complete unsuitables, then saw my DH and said out loud to myself, "now that's more like it!" 😆

Before meeting dh I chatted to a few guys on there with zero connection, had one date who professed undying love before he met me, then spent the entire time talking about his beautiful much younger ex wife who'd run off with their NDN. Then messaged me afterwards to say he wasn't ready to date anyone. No shit. (Then remained active on the site so clearly it was just the sight of me IRL!)

Dh was lovely from the word go. Together 4 years, married nearly 2.

Tinder, after spending three horrendous years on and off the app I met (now ex DP) and we were together for ten years. Wouldn’t put myself through it again though!

Was a certain football club fan page on fb, does that still count? He came up from London to see me in Glasgow in Nov 2009, still havent got rid of him since.

Bumble

POF. Been together 15 years now, Married for 8 and 3 DCs!

vare · 04/10/2025 21:54

PoF people, did you pay for it or use the free version?
I’ve just forked out again for Match as I found it to be the least sleazy.

I’m wondering this too. Wonder if I’m better off on a paid site, currently using hinge and fbook dating
