Hinge

[sundaytreats]

Hi

Have any of you online daters tried Hinge?

I thought I'd try it in the hope that people on there might be looking for relationships rather than hook ups.

I thought the monthly charge of about £8 is reasonable. I haven't had many messages though. There also seems to be a limited amount of men who fit my filter criteria.

Bumble is good ! More men looking for relationships

Hinge is huge in the USA right now but I think it will take another year or so before it takes off here. It is worth a go but I think not everyone is aware of this app yet so options may be limited but it does ask for alot of information for you, so I genuinely think it will be people looking for relationships as people only for hookups will go on easier to use apps.

Jane1978 - thanks for your comment. I had a bad date on Bumble. It's put me off trying it again but I'm sure it works for some people.

Im on tinder and bumble but havent had much luck. My fruend told me to get hinge and ive been on it a few days...seems alright..actually slightly prefer it as unlike tinder and bumble..you can put certain preferences. I dont pay anything though and am currently messaging a couple people, maybe the £8 is to unlock some kind of premium membership

I think you are only allowed a certain amount of likes if you don't pay the fee.

I've had messages from a few men in response to my likes and they seem genuine. It's a bit a light banter but no one is asking for a date.

After internet dating for a year I met my partner on Match I found that because you paid a fee the men were more serious than on the free ones.

I've tried match.com before and didn't get many messages. I might give it another try in the future.

I'm glad it worked out for you

Hinge has far fewer users and in my experience absolutely no difference in terms of the people or what they are looking for. Even though I’m in a big city, I was swiping past the same people MULTIPLE times. The last straw was when I matched with a friend who lives in the Middle East (and had been swiping there and not in the UK!). Total joke!

I call it "unhinged" after some shockers on there. But worth giving it a try, good luck :)

Not a fan of hinge. Had some very odd people on there. Find bumble the best although I suffered many rejections I must say. I would say if I got back on , it will be bumble and tinder.

Thanks for the feedback.

Overall I'm finding that the men I've been chatting to don't seem to have much interest. The conversations have ended.

I won't be renewing my membership. I might give POF another go. Some of the messages I've had on there have been very forward and/or weird but the men I've met up with have been nice.
