Raya?

Anyone tried/found success on the Raya dating app?

I'm thinking of starting to date again and looking at all the app options.

What are the men like on Raya, nice, entitled? And what about other dating apps like Bumble etc?

I thought Raya was for celebrities?

You have to be a certain ‘type’ of person to be accepted to use the app. High earner, very good looking, well known or have a big social media following. But give it a go if you pass the criteria.

Not for the likes of me but you can Google celebrities that met on Raya.

Why ask us when you could just sign up and give it a go ?

I've been accepted on to it already.

@Blinkinname This will be the first time in several years that I'm dating Blush Don't know if everyone on there is just a poser or genuine and looking for something serious. Not really something I can ask in conversation! Just wanting to see if anyone else has has experience/s on there.

My DNiece (25) has met her last 2 boyfriends on Bumble, both successful professionals, both serious (currently living happily with second)

Not experienced Raya, I just assumed I wouldn't be accepted. Bumble is good, I like that you have to match and be the first to start the conversation.

Is it always the woman who has to initiate conversation on Bumble? Any tips for conversation starters?

Women always make the first move on Bumble and the men have 24hrs to respond. I normally comment on something in their profile or ask a question.

Eek! Ok I'll give it a go.

What are the guys like on bumble as a general rule? Like, less dickhead-ish than other apps like Tinder?
