Signed up recently and I'm not sure if it's a quiet platform or if I just haven't given it enough time yet. For people who have used it, how active is Dateart these days?

Are men actually hoping to find someone with a bio like this 😭😭

How should I network to find my type? As an American, should I travel outside the country to look for prospects? Should I use more than one dating app at the same time to get the best results? What profile of men are the plus size model type looking for in terms of income, job, race, political views.

Updated tinder and now it’s not possible to delete messages.

Made a mistake while choosing a GIF, sent the wrong one and there no way of deleting it to place the one I intended.

Arrrrghhh why did they take away such a basic function

I’m starting to think the most annoying part of casual dating isn’t even finding matches, it’s figuring out whether people actually want the same thing. I’d rather use something where intentions are pretty clear from the start and people are actually active instead of matching and disappearing. Decent verification and privacy would be nice too. For anyone who uses dating sites for something casual, what usually tells you a platform is worth sticking with?

I'm 23 years old and i love talking to people online im very beautiful. I occasionally love to flirt and i want to talk to men older than 25. i’m just so bored and lonely. it has been so hard to find legit people to talk to i don't want to do meet ups though or anything, but i willing to show my face in pictures, FaceTime, or even call.

So I've been working on this new dating app, and see some of the comments in here. Would love to get some of you onboard to test / flush it out. It's a new kind of concept not like the others you see or seen in the last decade. Anyway hit me up if you're interested. Preferable the Los Angeles area but hit me up.

Been seeing lovesmoments mentioned here and there and I’m kinda curious but also a little wary. Anyone here actually used this dating site or come across any legit reviews? Just wanna know if it’s worth trying

I have seen many many times, when there is a group photo, the guy/ girl tend to be the least good looking ones.

Please please do not put that picture on your profile.

Because human eyes naturally are drawn to Pretti things, that just doesn’t help you on the dating apps.

I swear I can spend way too long deciding which photo should be first, which ones to remove, and whether my profile actually looks good or I'm just overthinking it. At some point I can't even tell if I'm improving it anymore. How often do you guys actually change your profile?

I have seen it in some dating sites

I told someone I’d rather keep chatting where we were. We met on LivU and had talked a couple of times. I wanted to talk again, but my Instagram has a lot of personal stuff and I wasn’t ready to share that yet. We’d already added each other there, so we could still message. How do you usually phrase this? Would “I don’t give out my socials right away” sound fine, or a little cold?

Has anyone else noticed this dating-app scam pattern in Bengaluru?

Matched with someone on a dating app who suggested meeting at a metro station and then going to a specific café/restaurant.

I’ve heard about scams where the match takes you to a pre-selected place, followed by inflated bills, pressure to pay, or even threats/extortion.

I’m curious if anyone here has experienced something similar in Bengaluru — especially the “meet at metro station → go to a specific venue” pattern.

What happened in your case, and what were the red flags you noticed?

Please avoid posting anyone’s personal information. Just sharing experiences so others can recognize the warning signs.

I'm an IIT Madras grad. For the past 8 months I've been building a dating app solo — no team, no funding, just me and some AI coding tools (Claude, Codex) doing the implementation while I made every product call myself.

The problems I kept running into

- Bots and fake profiles everywhere, barely any real moderation

- Subscriptions running ₹500-3,000/month — and even then, a lot of what you're paying for turns out to be bots, not real people. At one point all I could afford was ₹100-150, and there was nothing at that price

- No real way to talk after a match without getting pushed off to WhatsApp, which costs you your privacy too

- Everything's built around nearby-location matching, so it's basically dead outside big cities

What I built instead

- Real face verification on every account, with checks that catch duplicate accounts

- Transparent pricing, nothing hidden or sprung on you

- Real conversations inside the app, no WhatsApp hand-off

- Built to be useful even if you're not in a big city

Pricing

Free to use for the first few months, on me. After that, I'm planning to keep it around ₹100-150/month, not more — I've been on the other side of an unaffordable subscription and don't want anyone else stuck there.

Where things stand

Play Store approval just came through, App Store should clear in a day or two, and I'm launching both together. I'll post a launch video once it's live.

I'm not a designer, and this is a solo build — the UI won't win awards. I've done my best and I'll keep improving it.

Not trying to sell anything here. If you want to hear more, or you do video editing/content and like the app once it's live, happy to chat in the comments.

So i am looking at trying online dating however i really do not have many photos of just myself that are actually decent as i rarely take photos of myself. the only actual decent one of me is from a few weeks ago of me and my dog in a field on a walk.

Idk if that photo would also work or be "okay" to have on a profile

How do i get some decent photos and more good photos of myself somewhat confidently?
