S/o- free dating websites

[Eureka1984]

What websites do you use for online dating that are free? Do you ever try obscure sites like Bumble or Coffee Meets Bagel? Have you had any luck?

Tinder and OK Cupid ... I tried CMB and it was a total dud for me.

I've had better luck on Tinder finding guys (I'm 41, looking at guys 35-45) that I'd date but far more interest on OKC.

I currently only have a profile for POF, but it's hidden. I had profiles for OKC and Tinder but deleted them recently.

Edited because grammar.

When I was dating, the free ones I used were OKC and POF.

I used OKC. I stopped online dating after two months. It was after a guy starting telling me his missed me on the phone. We had never met.

I currently have profiles on OKC, POF, and Tinder.

I used CMB when it was still available on a desktop but left when they switched to mobile app only. It was a worthless site and a total waste of time. When I set up my profile they asked for parameters of what I was looking for and for some reason they kept sending me guys who were 120+ miles away and had nothing in common with me.

POF is useless in my area; I've met 2 people off that site and neither of them led to anything. There is also a lot of overlap between POF and OKC in my area.

OKC is meh. While I managed to get 1 relationship from it its been pretty lackluster. The same guys have been on it for 3 years.

Tinder- 3 months and only 1 response from a match. I've swiped right on over 100 guys and the few times I have gotten a match and sent a message I end up getting unmatched within 24 hrs while I am waiting for a response. While there are way more guys on Tinder it is just as frustrating as the other sites. It also has the added bonus of matching with guys who are just passing through town so even if you are interested in them they live in another state or country!

I have done just about all of them. POF, OKC, Tinder, and CMB but none of them really ever panned out.

I do wonder about some of these obscure websites and if they work out.

I won't be signing up for any but the ladies at my lunch table are thinking about giving it a try.

I tried CMB, but it was a dud. I had decent luck on OKC & POF. But I'm currently only on Tinder. And I've had the most luck (if you can call it that, since I'm still single lol) on there.

I'm using Tinder. I don't care for CMB, POF, or OKC. I do stay off Tinder Fri-Sun bc I live in a tourist city and it will show me anyone in a certain radius regardless of what their "home" city is.

My roommate is using Bumble and liking it so far.

I'm not on any sites currently. But in the past in my area I had the most success with POF and Tinder. I tried Hinge and had zero success with it. I think I had one short lived convo with Bumble.

I did see that Bumble has a new Bumble BFF feature that launched today. If I were staying in this city, I would think about trying it out.

I've used Tinder and OKC and have had decent luck with both. I liked that Tinder has to be mutual before you match. I got a lot of older men on OKC who would message me. I had a bunch of dates some that never went past the first date and others where it lasted a couple of months. I've since met someone I really like from Tinder and we've been dating about 3 months now.

I did like that you potentially got to know more about someone up front on OKC whereas Tinder you had much less info to go on.
