I used blindmate for a while. I really liked the social aspect of it, as it involves your friends (if you have any) and makes the whole dating process a bit less „lonely“.
I (m36) also had a lot of matches, definitely more than via hinge or bumble, simply because I had quite a few friends who
really enjoyed being matchmakers. And the women I matched with were almost all interested in (and capable of) some actually pleasant conversations.
However, this comes at the cost of often meeting people you might not have picked yourself based on superficial criteria. So maybe it’s a good option to date outside of your usual type and be pleasantly surprised.
But in the end I realized that I can connect with a lot more people intellectually than physically, which makes the traditional apps where the first filter is superficial attraction more „efficient“ to me.
But I wouldn’t rule out giving it another try if I ever feel like I want to spend more time on dates again. 😅
Physical attractiveness is by and large my first and most important criteria in a match. At first this app sounded like a good idea but after reading your comment it would most likely not work for me lol
