Nowadays if you are not on a dating app and your single, it provokes an alarming look and out pours of why, that is how socially accepted online dating has become, gone are the days where people had to pretend that they met in a bar (because realistically when do you ever find your wifey or hubby in a boozer)to cover up the fact they met on a dating website. The majority are open to the fact they are on these apps as it is an easy way to meet people, no longer do people have profiles without their pictures, 2015 online dating is all about uploading the best selfie. With the launch of a new dating app Fuzzy Banter (now with a name like this I most probably would tell my future kids that I met their mum at a bar) I thought it was time to review all the current matchmaking devices that are on the scene:
Tinder – The undisputed king of dating apps, it is the
finger swiping service that lets you decide whether you like someone by their
facebook profile pictures. The beauty of it is you only get to chat to some if
they swipe right for you as well, it has been labelled as no strings attached
app but it genuinely does cater for everyone’s needs whether that be one night
stand, banter, dating, flings or potential relationships and if it gets too
much you can always un match. I give it a solid 8/10, here is what some of the
public had to say about it:
“Boy shopping at your finger tips, what’s not to love” “The
ultimate procrastination app”
Bumble – The spin off from Tinder and it really is just
that, this matchmaking device gives girls the control, its a similar format of
swiping left or right depending on who tickles your fancy but when you do get
matched it is up to the girl to make the first move and they have to do it within
24 hours. It is almost like a dating game show (not quite up there with Take Me
Out though), now for me I like the idea but I think a guy should make the first
move, so this gets a 5/10. Here are a few quotes from the public:
“There are less creeps on this app and I like the fact girls
are in the driving seat for once” “If tinder is the king of dating apps this is
definitely the queen”
Happn- Have you ever walked past someone on the street and
fell in lust, the answer is most likely yes, so Happn would be the app to
download as it gives you the opportunity to match with people you encounter
during your everyday life. Now this is kind of creepy but is good for that one
person who might catch your eye that you can’t talk to, for this reason I give
this a 6/10. Here is what the reaction was to this app:
“I don’t like the fact that someone really nearby knows you
are on the app” “It is really addictive”
Let’s see if Fuzzy Banter can compete in the crazy and
cluttered world of online dating and knock Tinder off its perch!
