Look into the match group. All their dating apps (and they own almost all of them) are designed to only make pairings that almost work but have one fatal incompatibility so both users come back and use the app again.

It's evil. Never use them. They own at least:

Do you have a source for this? I really wanna quite it but looking to validate first

It's obviously not the sort of thing you'd find on the internet...

I personally know one of the employees.

Make of that what you will, but the terrible state of the dating scene should hopefully steer you in my direction.

This page has enough of the main ones to convince me. I dont use any of the more niche apps, so i may not recognize them. Also they may not have their full portfolio out in the open.

Veggie People Meet is for Vegans in case anyone else was wondering.

Maybe it varies by region, but is there any good / ethical dating app with enough users to matter?

[–] SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Fr, surely the list of apps not owned by this company is shorter to copy and paste

I successfully used discord, telegram and IRL events, oftentimes organized through these platforms.

Find some community for a hobby you're into and be sociable.

Or use whatever other platform the communities you're into uses and don't be a creep. On the plus side, you'll have some common pastime to nerd about together~

All good advice, but the question was specifically about dating apps.

I'm not aware of any good ones. I'm not sure they exist.

Hence my advice.
